PBILADELPBIA, Feb. 5, 1872. In pursuance of the resolution of the Republican State Central Committee, adopted at Harrisburg. January 18th, 1872, a Republican State Convention, composed of dele gates from each Seneorial and Representative district,in the number to which each district is entitled iu the Leg islature, will meet in the Halt of the House of Represen tatives, at Harrisburg, at 12 o'clock, noon, on Wednesday, the 10th day of April, A. e. 1872, to nominate candidates for Governor, Judge of the Supreme Court, Auditor Gen eral (should the Legislature provide for the choice of one by the people), and an Electoral Ticket; and also to elect Senatorial and Representative delegates to represent the State in the Republican National Convention, to be held at Philadelphia, June 5, 1872.

Ser The newspaper publishers and pro prietors of job printing offices in London, are endeavoring to break up the Typo graphical Union, and a strike among com positors is imminent. Del. Spain is uneasy. A crisis is at hand. King Amadeus is concentrating his army around the city of Madrid, dis arming the National Guard, and preparing to defend his throne. vs.. On the 12th inst. the Cessna-Myers case was called up in the House of Represen tatives, and a resolution adopted, without discussion, declaring Hon. B. F. Myers entitled to the seat. Exit Cessna!

Ailir Could any body toll us where the State Journal stands precisely on the Local Option question ? If we are not sadly mistaken it is a little mixed. Pray, friend Forney, how do you take yours? It can't be a good article. SarThe new regulations in the General Order System of the New York Custom House do not give satisfaction. The ex actions of Leet and Stocking have not been abated. A. T. Stewart St Co. are about to sue those worthies for over charges. NM. Garvey, the plasterer, who figured so conspicuously as the plasterer of the Tammany Ring, New York City, has as tounded his partners in infamy by flinging his mud the other way. The result is, that the ring is on the highway to Sing Sing. sm. We had the pleasure of taking an attentive and indefatigable member of the Legislature by the hand the other day.— He looks as if Harrisburg agreed with him. He assures us that all is well in that the Republicans are making a good record. Stir We observe that a number of pa pers throughout the State have pronoun ced in favor of Hon. John Scott for the Vice Presidency. Certainly no man will be mentioned in the National Convention more eminently worthy of this high posi tion.—Bedford County Press. The Pittsburgh Dispatch wants more Bates' Histoiles. It seems to us that a paper that is as much opposed to jobbery, as the Dispatch claims to be, ought to be satisfied with the amount of money already expended in this way to little or no purpose. This new demand bates us. ser Fisk is dead and the Erie ring has busted. Jay Gould was not equal to the emergency, and, on the 11th inst.., his power was overthrown in a few minutes and the Erie Railway released of the dread ful incubus which has so long hung upon h. Gen. John A. Dix was chosen Pres ident. Exit Jay Gould ! Da_ It gives us pleasure to see our old friend, Hon. Ed. Scull, editor of the Som erset Herald, named prominently in con nection with the Auditor Generalship. No man has labored more ardently for Repub lican principles than our friend. and there is no one that we would sooner see nomin ated and elected to this position than he. Dol. The Governor has appointed C. D. Brigham, editor of the Pittsburgh Com mercial, Auditor General for the term of three years. The matter has been refer- red to the Judiciary Committee in the Senate. We believe this appointment to be all wrong, as there was no vacancy to fill until the expiration of Hartranft's term or his resignation. Siiir Col. Jordan's prospects for the Gubernatorial nomination are growing brighter every day. Lancaster instructed for him, on last Saturday a week, by a vote of two to one for Hartranft. The North-west is standing up for him hand somely also. We want his friends to keep cool and to refrain from throwing mud at any of his competitors. He can afford it. :el,. The Erie ring has at last been bro ken, and the•road is once more in the hands of honest men. Jay Gould has been unceremoniously removed from the presi dency, and Gen. John A. Dix appointed in his place. The triumph is equal to that achieved over. the Tammany ring, and the newspapers on both sides of the Atlantic are congratulating the shareholders on this auspicious event. The stock will go up. IS JAPAN OPEN for the ADMISSION of the CHRISTIAN RELIGION ? Stimulated by the noble ambition of emulating the most civilized nations, an Imperial Japanese Embassy, commissioned by the Mikado himself, comes to America in a most friendly spirit, assuring the President of the United States that they are authorized to consult with this American Government "on all international ques tions," directing their etfirts "to promote and develope wider commercial relations and draw into closer bonds the strong friendship already existing between our respective people." "Thus" say our dis tinguished visitors, we hope to gain fresh impulse in the paths of progress, gaining good from every form of civilization." In the same generous spirit with which these distant neighbors come to us, they are received by the Chief Magistrate of this Nation, who said to them : "The ob jects which you say have given rise to your mission, do honor to the intelligence and wisdom of your sovereign ;" and he adds: Our experience leads unto believe that the wealth, the power and the happiness of a people are ad vanced by the enconragment of trade and com mercial intercourse with other powers, by the de. vation and dignity of labor, by the practical adapt ation of science to the manufactures and the arts, by increased facilities of frequent and rapid com munication between different parts of the country, by the encouragement of emigration, which brings with it the varied habits and diverse genius and industry of other lands, by a free press, by free dom of thought and of conscience, and a liberal toleration in matters of religion not only to citi tens, but to all foreigners resident among us. The spirit manifested in this interchange of sentiment is full of encouragement not only to commercial enterprise, but for those who, under the heavenly commission, have gone, or propose to go out "to preach the Gospel to all the world." Yet it would seem, after reading the re ports from Japan for some months past, that the Imperial Government of that country is hostile to the introduction of Christianity, and forbids its subjects from embracing the Gospel under pain of death. Mr. Gulick, one of the faithful mission aries of the American Bcard of Foreign Missions, was sent to Japan, a short time since, to aid in opening the way for the introduction of the Protestant religion in that country. He writes, July 1, 1871 : " Last night was to us one of novel experience in missionary life. We had been kept awaka late with a sick child, when at midnight we heard Mr. Greene, Mr. Gulick's assooiate, who lives a quar ter of a mile from us, speak at the window upon the street, and ask to be admitted, He came t, inform as that one who had a short time since been in his service had awakened him at the mid night hour, to communicate the intelligence, that an hour or so before, lay faithful teacher, who had been with me three months. and with Mr. Greene for more than a year previously, had been, with his wife, arrested by officers of the Government. "Yeinoski is a literary man of quiet demeanor, much dignity, and good sense. Ho had formerly been the keeper of a circulating library at Yeddo, and accompanied Mr. Greene to this place as his teacher. Ho has been very steadily in our employ, and was here yesterday. It is evident that his only crime is that of being too near us, and imbibing our ideas of Christianity. We have thought him a Christian, and Mr. Greene was hoping ere long to admit him to church membership,—his prat convert from heathenism. Under date of July 8, Mr. Gulick writes : "We learn from native acquaintances,that Yein oski and his wife were, two or three days since, re moved from the temporary lock-up and lodged in the common jail, where only those who have re ceived sentence are confined. We conclude that the farce of a trial or examination has taken place, and that they have been condemned. "It seems almost incredible, and quite unendur able, that right from beneath our roof, in the full light of the nineteenth centxry, and right at this spot, where the full tide of the commerce of the Christian world is surging up to our vary doors, a a person should be condemnedas a felon for merely hearing and believing in Christianity; but such is the fact. In our opinion a more orderly and in offensive person lives not in Japan, than Yein oski. "The Imperial Government has issued a notifi cation, which has been published in the 'Hiogo News,' of July sth, 1871, one clause of which reads as follows : 'The laws anent (about) religion must be strictly observed; and people are ordered to complain if any one speaks to them about the Christian religion, or attempts to persuade them to take it up.' "Yeinoski has certainly been spoken to about the Christian religion, has spent a part of the day, for months, in copying the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and John, as translated by Dr. Hepburn, and has not made complaint to the proper author ities. His guilt is of course clear. What crime his poor wife has been guilty of we know not, un less it be that her husband may have spoken to her in regard to Christianity and she tins not made complaint against him." "Eighteen months before," says 111 r. Gulick, 'four thousand Roman Catholic Christians were arrested at Nagasaki, who have ever since been suffering untold hor rors in the various dungeons in which they have been confined." Under date of July 15, Mr. Gulick writes : "Again, yesterday, Mr. Greene and myself call ed at the government office, and had, by appoint ment, an interview with the Vice Governor of this port. He stated that Yeinoski had been arrested at the orders of the Danjodai, or secret police, of the Imperial Government, and that the local au thorities knew nothing whatever of the cause of the arrest or of the charges laid againt him; that he had been taken to Osaka where he would be tried by the court of the Danjodai. This Danjodai is the system of secret espionage which pervades the whole empire, and which is doubtless one of the most efficient arms of the Central Govern ment. " The inquisitors have carried off this harmless and helpless man to Osaka., where ho has neither friends nor kindred, and where they may torture or sentence him as may suit their temper. Thus at a midnight hour, our only and faithful follower has been swept into that inquisition from which none have, as yet, returned or escaped. "If this case of persecution shall help to awaken interest at borne in the cause of religions tolera tion, or if it should help the American Minister to see the character of this intolerance, and BO pre pare his mind for decisive action at the revision of the treaties nest July, it may serve the end designed by Providence in permitting the wicked a short triumph." In another letter dated July 31, 1871, Mr. Gulick says : " Upon my arrival in this country, witnessing the apparant freedom of intercourse between for eigners and natives, I failed to sec, as now, the determined and active hostility of the Govern ment towards every form of Christianity." An officer, apparently of high rank, called upon Mr. Greene, desiring to con verse with him upon several subjects. They held converse for three hours. He made many inquiries in regard to the Christian religion ; desired to know the difference between Roman Catholics and Protestants; the comparative number of these two di visions; and also the distinctive features of the various sects among Protestants. He asked Mr. Greene if we knew the cause of Yeinoski's arrest, and said that the au thorities would treat him well, but that they would not be likely to release him soon. Mr. Greene said that when the treaties with Christian nations were revised, in July, 1872, we thought they would insist upon a clause granting full religious toleration. He inquiringly replied,--'And what if Japan should refuse to grant it ? What would the Christian nations do about it? Would they go to war ?' Mr. Greene thinks that this caller was sent by the Gov ernor, partly perhaps to sooth our fears in regard to the safety of Yeinoski, and thus at once prevent our great solicitude for him, and relieve himself of our importuni ty in regard to him. SHALL CHRISTIAN POWERS REMONSTRATE? Mr. Greene, of the Japan mission, hav ing heard that some persons object to any effort to secure action on the part of Chris tian governments to prevent persecution in Japan,.wrote on the subject, October 17, 1871, expressing 11:s surprise at the objections, and saying : "No missionary in Japan, I presume, desires any civil officer of any government, in his official capacity, even to recommend Christianity, much less persistently to urge its adoption, or to claim for us the slightest privilege because we are its representatives. We desire to he entirely free front any connection with the civil power, as religious teachers. "But the case in hand is very different. Here are some ;i,OOO or more poor people, men, women, and children, imprisoned in loathsome dungeons, simply because they have refused to desecrate, at the command of government, some emblem of Christianity, or to worship at some particular heathen shrine. They are guilty of nu crime of which human governments have any right to take cognizance; yet they are dying by hundreds be cause of the cruelty of the government. We ask the interference of foreign powers, not ou the ground that they arc Christians, but on the ground of humanity; because they are most shamefully and 'Jurbarously treated. "The people of America are. we fear, deceived by the glowing newspaper articles, which are from time to time written about Japan, a which much is made of the liberality of the present govern ment, its similarity to that of America or England, etc. Great changes are taking place here, but it must be remembered that the object in view is rather a return to the customs of the golden age of Japanese history, when the Mikado was every thing, when there was no Tycoon nor Dahill° so powerful that there nas any danger of his aiming at such dignity. " The avowed maxim of the Japanese ministry is that the government is for the sakeof the Mikado, and that the good of the people is purely a second ary 2matter. . . . "Much encouragement seems to be drawn from the fact that the government has continued to support two or three young men in America who have become Christians, andhas intimated to them that it did not intend to interfere with their reli gion. It seems to us all, here, that it is much safer to judge of the disposition of the government by its acts towards those who are within its power completely, than towards those at a distance, whom, for very obvious reasons, it would not be for their interest to persecute even by withdraw ing their support. I have mentioned this matter to several who have been long in Japan, and they hove said at once,---.Wait until these young men return home before you base any important infer ences on their present Merl! treatment.' At all events, it does not avail much for my poor old teacher, that two or three young Japanese, 7,000 or 3,000 miles away, are allowed to profess their faith in Christ, and yet receive their pay regularly, from the same governinent which now oppose him. " One great reason why we hope that this pro test of Christian passers, if solemnly made, will be mate available, is the growth of quite a large party in favor of toleration among the officers of the government, and others of the educated class. This power within, in conjunction with one with out the state, may, and we believe will do much for religious toleration. Another reason is, that since the final withdrawal of power from the Daitnios, four of the iukiyo Daimios (those who before abdi cated in favor of their sons or otherrelatives) have been called to act as a kind of privy council to the Mikado, and one of these four princes has been for a long time an avowed friend of religious free dom." On the 17th of November, IS7I, Mr. Gulick wrote a letter to the Mission Board, in which he refers to his late teacher in these words : "In regard to Yeinoski's fate, we as yet know nothing definite." This is the latest intelligence received from Mr. Gulick. But his letter presents a view of civil changes rapidly taking place in that. Empire which cannot but encourage anticipations of a brighter fu ture for Christian Missionary enterprise in that country. The writer says : "The rapidity with which foreign ideas, or the thoughts, manners and customs of other Nations are being adopted is—as one on the ground has, expressed it—enough to take one's breath away. These changes are mostly political, but reach and affect all classes of society, and arc the result, mainly, of the adoption by those who hold the reins of government, of ideas gained from abroad through the different embassies sent out by the government, and by the many individuals, who have received, or are now receiving, greater or lees degree of education in Europe and America. The influence of the representatives of foreign governments resident here, of the foreign commu nities at the open ports, and of the .missionaries, is all doubtless, conducive to the progress of ideas and to the work of transformation and reconstruc tion; which is going forward at railroad speed." Mr. Gulick , ives further evidence in his letter of the wonderful changes for the better now occuring in Japan, and closes with the following important inquiry and declaration "Are we to see full religious liberty granted at the time of the revision of the milli. next July? We certainly may hare smelt a blessing. and eau hare it if the representatives of the Christian gov ernments at that time insist upon it, as they tell up on meaner. e ff ecting commercial interests." The higher civilization at which the Government and people of Japan are aim ing, is in itself the strongest guarantee that could be desired that religious tolera tion will be conceded, and that the Mis sionary will not only be safe, but Will be welcomed to that country, and his teach ings received with earnest pleasure. The Rev. Mr. Davis writes from Japan, (Dec. 16, 1871), to the Missionary Rooms, in Boston, noting the cheering intelligence that '•A report has just reached us that a majority of the Constitutional Council of the Empire. now in session at Yeddo, hare voted in favor of religious toleration." Further evidence of the interest begin ning to be felt in that country on the sub ject of the Christian religion may be drawn from the following occurrence, the truth of which is vouched for by the Rev. Mr. At kins, pastor of the St. John's Church, Georgetown, D. C.: " Mr. Mori, the Japanese Minister resident at Washington, engaged a competent person to prepare, for the use (.'his government and people, a brief but comprehensive history of the United States. The work was completed and the manu script brought to him a few days before the arrival of the Embassy, to be put into, the hands of the Japanese translator. Mr. Mori requested the author to read the manuscript, slowly, in his hearing, that he might become familiar with its contents. Upon reading through the chapter upon the Christian religion, as received and practiced in this country, Mr. Mori stop ped the author, and said : "That is good; but I want you to put in more about Jesus; my people wish to learn about the religion of Jesus.". The request was cheerfully complied with. These facts are conclusive as to the sen timents of the central government in ref erence to Christianity. The arrest and imprisonment of Yeinoski and his wife was probably one of the last acts of pros cription for religious grounds. But the churches in America should not trust wholly to the change of senti ments in Japan. Its greatest importance, just now, consists in the opportunity it will afford for successful treaty negotia tions upon the subject of Christianity. Nor is it safe to leave the matter wholly to the officials of our own Government, to secure treaty rights on the subject. Each church throughout the entire country should take up the subject at a special evening meeting for the purpose, and pre pare addresses to his Majesty, the Empe ror e Japan, on the subject, and en close it to Embassador IwAxun.a, at Washington, with a friendly letter to himself, asking him to cause the ad dresses to be laid before his Government. This Embassy is not now authorized to make treaties with the United States or European Governments, but another will follow them for that purpose. In the meantime the Mikado and his Counsellors would be glad to receive an expression of public sentiment from the people of this country upon the subject of Christianity. Now is the time. "The people," says Mr. Davis, "are -.eager to learn • all that civilized nations have to teach them. They are learning English so fast that one of the 3lissionaries at Yokohama, who has been ten years on the ground, told me that he thought that within twenty years men could go all through the Empire and preach the Gospel to the listening mosses in the English language. This is unt to be expected, but all the signs of the times here seems to show that this Nation is ready to be born in a clay; and that day may dawn any month." And in e!osing his letter to the Mis. sionary Board, at. Boston, Mr. Davis says: "Send on the men. Don't let any turn aside to other fields who wish to come to Japan." \Vito WILL s GO THE CENTENNIAL EXPOSITION. The Conninis-sioners of the National Cen tennial Exposition of 1876,' have been in session, several . days, in Philadelphia, taking preliminary steps to commence the great enterprise they have in view. Fair mount Park has been selected as the site of the buildings. The main building will contain not less than fifty acres of floor. Mr. Cleveland, one of the Commissioners, at the closing meeting, last week, said that, "From the International Exhibition of 1876, the education of skilled labor, in this country at least, is to take a new de parture." We shall have collected on that occasion the greatest exposition of manufactures, in the highest perfection of art, that has ever been brought together in the history of the world. As Mr. Cleve land suggests, England will make liberal contributions, and among them we will have the very perfection of art in iron, steel, cotton and woolen manufactures. Shall we not, in a friendly rivalrY, equal her in the standard of excellence of her products F From France will come articles of taste and utility, exquisite in design and perfect in execution. Our own silk pro ducts, it is believed, will equal the best French specimens. Russia will furnish iron and leather such as no other country has yet learned to produce. From Berlin and Munich will come artistic productions in iron and bronze, and from Switzcrland . her unequalled wood carvings and watch ,work. There will be nothing, however, to excel American watches. From Bohemia shall come the perfection of glass-blowing,. and musical instruments from the Black Forest. From the people of poor old. Spain. to whose daring and public spirit nearly four centuries back we owe the pos sibilities of this hour, shall come the evi dence of aforetime greatness now unhap pily faded away for want of education amongst the mass of her people. From Nineveh and Pompeii the evidences of a buried past. The progress of the applied arts will be shown front all Europe. From China .her curious workmanship, the re sult of an accumulated ingenuity reaching back beyond the time when history began. Matchless woodwork from Japan and from India, her treasures rare and wonderful. Turkey and Persia shall bring their gor geous fabrics, to diversify and stimulate our taste. The Queen of the East, pass ing the Suez canal, shall cross the great deep, and shall bow her turbaned head to this young Giant of the West, and lie shall point her people to the e-,urco of his vast powers—the education of all the peo ple. Younger than all these nations, yet it is hoped the United States will not be behind either of them in the exhibition of products of her skill and industry which will rival in workmanship and utility the most attractive and meritorious products of other countries. Preparations for this great Centenniary Exposition have been commenced none too soon to make it a success. The Commis sion, who have closed their prelimioary meetings, will come together again on the 22d of May, in Philadelphia, and subse quently from time to time as the work:may require. At the meeting in May, Commis-' sioners will be present from nearly every State in the Union. The Commission arc confident of entire success in this com mendable enterprise, the benefits of which will be confined to no one country, but will be felt in the great centres of both hemispheres of the globe. BEECHER ON GRANT, Henry Ward Beecher is good authority in politics as well as in theology. Of Gen. Grant, in view of his fitness for the im portant position he fills, Mr. Beecher, in last week's Christian Union, says: "It is objected to Gen. Grant that he has no power to control his party. But, who among all the eloquent Senators has shown any such power ? They are mighty to divide but powerless to con ciliate or consolidate. No one is a leader of men who has not the power to conciliate, or to compel unity. Has there appeared among all the so-call ed chiefs of the Republican party any man who thinks so broadly, and has such gifts of leadership as win and hold men together without any sense of servile submission? We have good men. But those who can conciliate are not strong. Those who are strong of thought and scholarship and po itical knowledge have not the slightest talent for uniting men. They are disintegrators. They grind well, but do not know how to knead. Who among all of the Politicians and statesmen has shown himself a good leader ? An able speech is not able generalship. Good oratory is not good management. Gen. Grant may not bea good po litical loader, as compared with an ideal leader, hut as compared with thole around hint tic in the best of the whole." PETROLEUM FIRE IN-SMELTING Experiments with petroleum as a fuel in smelting have been tried in St. Louis, with very gratifying results. A lot of pig iron, which had been smelted with Illinois coal and had proved almost worthless, was treated with petroleum fire, and in a single hour was converted into iron of the finest quality, closely resembling steel. Common mountain pig iron, it is claimed ; may, by a single application of petroleum fire in the puddling furnace, be made into the best flange boiler iron. These experiments were made with temporary apparatus, and under embar rassments not calculated to develope their full value. tel. The Globe has been very extrava gant in its demands for Reform for the last few weeks. It has been thrusting its puny lance into the Republican Party, from a rear stand-point, but its olfactories have not been startled by any more obnox ious odors than those which usually mono polize the atmosphere in which it exists, consequently it backs square down in the last issue There is to be no Reform Par ty after all ! Bah ! The Globe is beginning to realize that it don't amount to much. 77 — W,. — Huntiegdon-is to have a new party —a qteform Party." Daddy Lewis of the Globe, is to be "Bell sheep." He is get his harness rady now. Encouraged by the example of Aleek McClure, Daddy and his handful of disappointed place hun ters and political soreheads, are moving to help the Democracy into full possession of ~ o ld Huntingdon." This is the prime ob ject of the move,—the cry of reform be ing a shadowy excuse for selling out, body and breeches to the enemy. If reform is needed, it is among those pseudo RepubE cans whO are trying to break up- the only party that ever can accomplish needed re form.—Bedford County Press. n The bill which recently passed the Illinois Legislature, says the Pittsburgh Commercial, authorizing cities, incorpora ted towns and townships to establish and maintain free public libraries and reading rooms, is now a law, having been signed by the Governor, and any or every town in the State may now, by levying a small tax, establish a free library. This law, if taken advantage of by the people, will prove of incalculable public benefit. Would not a liberal free library system be likely to prove an invaluable adjunct to our own system of popular education? ItS., "New Hampshire," says a Demo cratic cotemporary, "is joined to her idols." This is a modest way of admitting a defeat. New Hampshire, the first gnn of 1872, has been handsomely captured from the enemy, and the election of Straw "shows which way the wind blows." The mails, in that direction, were loaded down, for weeks, with the speeches of Sumner, Schurz Co., but the sore-heads have been beaten and Grant's administration endorsed. The reform has commenced. vs. Huntingdon county, by the New Congressional Apportionment Bill, is at tached to the counties of Blair, Cambria and Somerset, making the twentieth dis trict. This is a wholesome :district. It settles the question of "Reform" party. The "you tickle me and I'll tickle you" policy has been "knocked all to smither eens." The stock of Speer R Co. is selling below par. "Some tinge," as Hans Brit man would say, 'has got gasmasht !" rZ"The Pittsburgh Dispatch, of the 14th inst., sap: "Senator Scott's name is looming up as a can didate for Vice-Presidency. We understand that the Ohioans propose to urge the name of ex-Gover nor Dennison, with the idea that he will get a large complimentary vote. Why not our delegates ar range with those of Ohio, that after their candi date has his vote, all join, to nominate Senator Scott. This will make a strong ticket, besides being a proper recognition of the merits of oar Senator. It is among the probabilities that in the fight be tween Colfax and Wilson, a third man may come in . If so, Pennsylvani should be-represented." OUR WASHINGTON LETTER WASHINGTON, D. C., March 18, 1872. Sherman Lectures the Senate— Appropria tion for the Civil Service—The Tariff— The Japanese—Compensation to Lady Nurses in the Late War—Congressional Republican Committee—Proposed State of Deseret—The Sunday Chronicle— Investigating Committees. THE U. S. SENATE REBUKED. The Senate of the United States has been employing its time in profitless de bates, and in appointing committees of investigation, where nothing of the kind is required, merely to gratify those sore heads, anti-Grant republicans,Vho through a factious spirit, are thus using their in fluence in order, if possible, to defeat the re-nomination of President Grant. They have however succeeded only in delaying the regular business of the Senate. In a debate a few days ago, Mr. Sherman said he had prepared a 'record which he would ask the Senate to hear. The Senate had spent three weeks in debating a resolu tion for an investigation of the New York custom-house; it bad spent three weeks in defeating amnesty; it had spent three weeks in discussing the sale of arms; it had passed no bill of any importance, no bill relating to taxes or tariff, no appro priation bill. All it had done was to pass a resolution for final adjournment. The House in the mean time had pass ed eight appropriation bills, an amnesty bill, and a tariff bill, and arc now ready to propose a revenue bill. The Senate will now, it is hoped, press forward the regular business, and get through the appropriations and other im portant measures without any further un necessary delay. . $50,000 FOR CIVIL SERVICE. The Smate has voted $50,000 to carry out the civil service project. It is thought the bill will be defeated in the House. TILE TARIFF. The Ways and Means Committee of the House, is busy upon the tariff. They will not, however, be prepared to report to the House for several days. It is believed the committee will recommend a small reduc tion of the duty on iron and steel,—and a larger reduction of duty on coal and salt. THE JAPANESE The different members of the Embassy are busily employed in. the Departments collecting information. Mr. Ross A. Fish, of the State Department, has been detail ed to instruct the attaches of the Embassy In our system of finance. Louis Boehmer, a well-known agricul turist of Rochester, N. Y., has been en gaged by the Japanese Government to take charge of the practical details of a bureau of agriculture at Yeddo. The same Government had already secured H. M• Miller, United States Customs Apgraiser at • San Francisco, and Matthew Scott, Customs Examiner at that port, to assist in organizing a customs service for Japan. These three gentlemen sailed for Yokoha ma March 1.
