Sir: May I be allowed to Make one or two ob
servations On your article of this morning in
.reference to the House of Lords ?
The institution of a quoruin would be bene
licial; but the abolition of vote by proxy Would
have no effect on the daily routine of business.'
'The systein, no doubt, is vicious in principle, and
should be got rid of immediately; little, however,
would be gained or lost by such a step; the mode
.of voting being troublesome, and seldom re
sorted to. •
4The Rouse of Lords is, in ninny respects, not
'fairly. teSted. The groundless jealousy of the
House of Commons, their singular adherence to
anediteval securities against Kings and Barons,
with the unaccountable reluctance of all adminis
trations in succession, prevent the origination of
ninny measures in our assembly. Bills, more
over, arc not sent up from .the Coinmons with
any regularity. Long intervals, in which nothing
s - submitted for our consideration, are followed
:almost ar the very close of the session by torrents
•of legislative propositions, as many, it has hap
pened,as fifty in a weekv--all of which, if properly
idistributed, would, instead of being passed in
haste and without examination, be duly and effi
vciently considered. • •
Nor may IL be overlooked that the House .of
Commons has monopolized to such an Rxteut all
- the power of the. State, that party gebates. and
party divisions have lost much of their Import
-I:ince in the House of Lords, and therefore very
seldom occur. This , alone wbuld render any de
libeiative assembly unattractive, and'give an ap
parent tameness to Most of it.s.proceedings.

Correaponde'nce of the Philadelphia Evening ilnlietin,l
Over this eloquent Italy your feet seem to stir
up cries from the ground. The echoes of history
dog your steps. When you feel btight and proud,
.you remember tales of conquests and the flle„ht of.
the CaTarian eagles. .When you are a little more
sentimental, you give ear to a thousand heart
stories, unapproachably tender and tragic, which
linger reverberating in the hollows of this volcanic
AOll. : Italy herself hi the "woman nation," and
her rising and piling, bills are the bosom in
which lie many of her sad daughters, whose
destinies are theleirlooms ctfpoctry.
Byton has sung of Pio
,wretched Parisina;
Dante has made , Francesca of` Rimini immortal.
- As you return from Venice to Rome, you may
pass • iiiiiiii, and fin - d - thelllactr ofthe old - eastici"
wherein she read with Paolo of the "long-sighed
for smile" which Guinevere smiled on Lancelot;
and where young Paolo
"Kissed my mouth, trembling in the act all over."
At Bologna you • look at the "Temptation of
Joseph," a bas-relief, in which poor Properzia de'
Rossi, paintress, sculptress, engraver and mini
chin, wrought her own likeness in the face of the'
wife of the Egyptian lord. She finished the carv
ing, her master-piece,and then died of unrequited
love, a Sapphic death.
At Fitenza you arc told of another Francesca, a
woman MAL of different stuff from her Of Rimini.
She was the :-alous wife of one of the Manfreds,
and when al • saviher stout husband getting the
advantage e: lie four bravos she had'hired to kill
hint, she Fps ng from the bed, snatched:a sword,
arAiiiet out his life with her own white hand.
There we have the gamut—ft'om the inspired
Woman, dowered with_every talent and splendid
with all art, who lies down and meekly dies fo ,
a fancy, to the creature of one idea, more animal
and more Roman, who so broadly expresses con
jugal distrust by butchering her husband. `One
demonstrates the exacting art-temperament,
which, finding the world ilkuljuste• it needs,
revenges itself by seeking another. • the
4411146
second, revenge suggests itself as so tething
quite earthy and btutish„ and the ill-fitted com
rades proceed to air each other in their slime.
This i,s• the spirit directly deseendak from the
age of • gladiatorial shows, when; before the
white rows of the vestals and the ranges of snot
lesS, wives end .Children, the coarse swordsmen
died in limit blood.
,It is the spirit so admirably
depicted by Shakespeare in the boudoir conver
sations of Cariolanus. That incredible creature,
the•. Roman woman—l perhaps never quite,
realized her until, leaving the church of San
Pietro in Viueoli, whither I had gone to see
Michel Angelo's Moses, the driver said, "SignOr,
Our k wheels now pass the spot where Tullia, wife
Of Tarquin, drove her car over the breast of her
own father." Now the pale Roman street seemed
to turn hot beneath me, ashamed to have ever
sustained the d4cd.
All these stories, as 1 Said, are the heirlooms of
art: Plutarch picks his subjects from the arena
'itself, and Dante, who fainted at the tale of his
patron Rimini's daughter, proceeds to write it
down on his tenderest page.- the ,only page of
Dahte that ever was wet with real tears.
But' What if be had a story that swept all the
gamut ? Suppose history should present Ms with
a delineation in which the traits of an Italian
murderess should miraeulously blend with those
of the tender human flower that withers of an
insult ? What tears so deep, What emotions so
complicated and so tormenting, as to rnatch such
a recital? With what ears shall we hear acme who,
like this Tullia, assists at the murder of her fa
ther; like this Manfredi, conies up to complete
the work her'assassitis fail .in; like Jael of old,
wields the hammer • and points the spike: and
afterwards : encompassed with the pity and
homage of all Italy, turns to death with'an land-•
'cent half-smile on her baby face, goes front her
maiden dreams all trustingly ;old gladly to the
scaffold, and there softly fades front earth like
the rath primrose that, forsaken, dies! Such a
character does exist, not in, fiction, but in: hard
archives of law. Fiction, however, or rather_
imagination, early - took it uli To say nothing
of native poets, Shelley has written Ties Cenei.
And Guido Reniata.s_lefta delicate portrait of poor
Beatrice.- -
This interecting picture is contained in the
Palacellarbarini, built by Urban VIII., with the
stones of the Coliseum. Fit casket for such a
relic. If m) is is right; the Coliseum must
have existed More Beatrice coulil be possible.
Long before, in ancestral spirits, the circus, must
have sown its bloody seed, or the red flower could
never have sprung up in the . gentlest breast of
Rome. At any rate, the stones of the Flavian
arena, first raised by Jewish slaves under the de-.
sign of Gaudentlus, a Christian architect and
' martyr, and often wet with Christian tears, have
reassembled in these latter - times around the
touching face of Belitriee. Clambering, the other
day, from pillar to pillar of the fine spiral stair
way, I went to pay the gentle creature a visit.
There she sits, with the air infantine face look
ing at you over the shoulder, the little mouth
quivering with a sigh, and the eyes red with cry
ing—the pathetic Beatrice who has seen taken to
the heart o l f all the world. She looks out a; yoti
from her white draperies with the air of a baby,
a household darling, who has been Sent chidden
to bed. It is a frail heal• to have been chosen to
bear all that weight of miserable destiny, and it
lifts itself with a look of wonder at the tragic
world into which it Is Introduced. Such a look
plunges into the very heart, disturbing pity in its
depths.
E. ILL'N'rEFt
Guido was a mere decorative painter, and the
portrait is worth little in the - way of art. Such as
- he was, however, the limner seems to have done
his best, and to, have remembered with real sym
pathy the unfortunate wto had jooked round at
him so ,wistfully in her cell. Even a cheaper man
than hetaight have been ennobled by such an
opportunity. So he has painted faithfull • his
heir, am .in le en , etter ian he knew.
What do those dark eyes see, into which he has
thrown that strange, escaping e'xpression? Do
they see the, lonely castle, ininging over the pre
elpices of the 9bruz7l, and the wicked lord Jour- .
neying gayly thither for his summer. debauch?
Do they see the assassins spring from the rocks,
and' strike, and fail, and fly? Do they see the
last scene in the awful tower, when
•the • two. -• • . women, having • 'received
the false husband and father with awe=stricken
hypocrisy in the home they meant he should never
enter morn, linnd. him the drugged cup; and lead
the murderers in? 'Then, BOatrice, then the mo

Details of His Vera Cruz Fiasco.
VERA Cnirr-4, um", 11th, 1867, * * '"The
confusion and contradiction as to the real 'state
of affairs in the interior • had almost reached a
climax when, of a stuldeiman American steamer
• was descried outside, ''llying the .private
signal of some distinguished personage. -No
one could divine who the personage coal(' be;•
until the captain of the port's boat returned from
the steamer with the information that It was
General .Santa Anna. Consternation now became
general, and the Imperial Commissary together
with the, commanding general, at the invitation
of Santa Alma, went aboard the Virginia and had'
a long couf, rence with him.. He. stated that he
came supported by the United 'States, and with
means furnished by them, and requested permis
sion to land. This was refused for the time being,
until a council of war could be held. While they
were returning from the steamer to Vera Cruz,
General Perez Gomez, commanding in 'Fort San
Juan de Ulloa—Gomez is a ereatn re of Santa Anna
—brought Santa Anna to the castle and there gave
him quarters.
This Gomez, tinder' orders frOm Taboada, has
kept all the guns bearing on the city, and has
three mortars and two hundred quintals of pow
der, as well as provisions to last the garrison a
month. These events took place on the :3d. dust,
The Whole town was in alarm thafttight; and
knowing that the enuncil of war was. held, and
that the majority had decided against letting
Santa Anna land, they feared that fie city Would
be bombarded_by Gomez. On the Ith :r norther
prevented 'any communication with the tort.
On 'the 5111 the weather -was good, but the
Imperial Commissary refused to allow any com
munication with the or vessel. Two captains
who came ashore from the castle were taken pri
soners, and confided in the Town. Hall, while an
aid from the Imperial Commissary pat out to no
tify Gomez and the Major of the fort that Ta
boadir wished to see them on shore t „They obeyed
- the order. and while they were corning ashore,
Colonel .Catuacilo, with one hundred men, ,put
out for San Jnan. He had private instructions
to put a guard of honor, composed of twenty-live
men (!) over the avalaments occupied by Santa
Anna in the castle. As soon as he should .suc
ceed in doing this, he was to lutist the flag of the
. fort at half-mast, as a signal to the city of his sue
, 'i•ess. When the signal was noticed, the Civil
j Prefect or Vera Cruz, RobledO, went to the fort
I with orders to made Santa Anna re-embark on the
steamer.and gave him to understand that tim Im
perial Commissary .and General Taboada Would
meet him there and let him know the result of
the council of war. Santa Anna made no resist--,
lime, for it-was-useless, aspic had been outwitted.
Early on the text day the Commissary and the
General-in-Chief spent over three hours aboard
the. Virginia. The American and English Con
suls were also there. • What transpired is not
known,- but-the Commissary and the- General re- -
turned completely changed, and the very men
who the clay Previous had foiled Santa Anna,
called another council of war, and drew up a pro
nunciamiento Mills favor. All the
. garrison sub
seribed to it except Cuevas; Camacho, who with-:
tinily to his barrackS,' anti declared he would-hold
oat there against the rest, Lieutenant Colonels
Fitmerro f 3lurcha and a few others. •
Here ;Arose a new conflict. The garrison was
divided. The preparations for Santa Anna's land- .
Inc were being made r aud the revolution is pub
licly spOken of. This occurred between noon
and two-P. M. - At about three o'clock a boat
went alongside the' Virginia. It contained the
American and English naval eonnuanders.
Commander Roe sent an invitation to Santa.
Anna -to dine with him —aboard the Ta
wny.. But the old fellow, suspecting it to be
a device, returned his thanks in the most amiable
miner gracious language possible, ' and stated
that he would accept the compliment at another
moment, as he was then awaiting a boat to go
ashore. His surprise was awful when he got
orders from Commodore Roe to -follow him at
one as irprisoner of the United States. Roe at,,
the me tune told the Captain of the Virginia to
stea down next day to Tampico, and take Santa
Atina from aboard the Tacony and bring hint
back to New York, whence he had fled, leaving a
claim still pending.
• The ridictile and disgraCe which the authorities
here have brought upon themselves by this whole
'transaction is of the worst kind. The Civil Pre
feet, 'General Robledo, has resigned anti goes to
Havana. General ,Hetran goes to Havana by
this steamer also; and it' is even reported that
Taboada has resigned. The general belief is that

So winds up another episode,
THE INDIAN WAR;
Satanta on the iVar-Path.
[From to•day'e New York Tribuno.]•
FORT SEDo . wicK, June 20,1867.—The Kiowas
are on the war-path under the bombastic Satanta,
and have struck General Andrew Jaq'ism Smith
"a hard lick"—so he telegraphs to Sherthan.
IMPORTANT ORDER FROM GEN. SIIER3LtN.
tirryorN Mrcar,tnr Drvisu;s ;);''Tnr ,
.Missount,June 21.-:To accomplish, as far as pos
sible, a concert Of action and uniformity of prae
,tiee throughout this Military Division, embracing
the Great Plains from the Mississippi to the•
Rocky Mountains, with their tribes of nomadic
Indians, tho following general rules-are adopted:
1. By the laws of Congress, the management of
Indian affairs is committed to the Interior-De
partment, and by it delegated to a:-Commissioner
of Indian Affairs, to general superintendents,
special commissioners, and agents, to reside
among the separate tribes . of nations. And when
the Indians actually reside on a reservation, or
restrict, themselves to territory guaranteed to
them by _treaty; the military, are commanded and -
the'civil - authOritlifs notified - that - those treaty - ,
rights are the sopreme law of the laud, and must
OUR WHOLE COUNTRY.
be respected; but when the. Indians leave their
reservations and go beyond the country com
mitted to them; and there commit tverime, they
fall under military control or subject themselves
to - arrest:And punishment by the civil power.
11. For militaryconvenienee the Division has
been divided into three military departments—
that of Dakota, to the north, commanded by Gen.
Terry; that of the Platte, in the . middle, com
manded by Gen. Au
the south, commanded by Gen. Hancock.. Each
of these departments coincides, as near as can be,
with the State and Territorial lines, and each
commanding general has a part of the regular
army; as large can be spared from other quar
ters, and has ageneral supervision of the military
policeof his department, and has also other spe
elal duties whi ii cannot be made public.
111. All this extent of country is embraced in some
State or Territory, with civil officers acting under
their own special codes; and. as a great diversity
of opinion and practice exists as to how far the
civil anthorily can apply, especially a in cases such
it_h;M:_racently_prevatl ,___whereLadians •in
small' bands have infested the traveled roads and
expos td settlements. it is hereby made known
that 'leach State and Territory will organize a
battalion of mounted men, ready to be called in
to the service of the IlnitedStates, it will be called
for UV the Department'Commander, and used in
connection with the regular troops, if an emer
gency'. should arise, in Iris judgment, to make it
necessary. In that event the regiment, or a part
thereof, will be mustered in, according to the
laws of. Congress now existing—each man to
provide his own horse, for which the allow
ance 'of forty cents a day will .be
stipulitted, and the same pay, clothing, food and
allowances as are now or may be hereafter pro
vided by laW. But it must be clearly understood
that ft VII require an appropriation by Con
gress to make the actual payment of everything,
'except rations, forage and supplies, needed by
such volunteers, during Me time they are in the
Service Of the United 'States; hut that Corigresa
will so appropriate thee is little doubt, provided
the necessity for the call be manifest, as evi
denced bythe judgment of the Department Com
mander, ratified by myself and • the General-in-
Chief, Whenever such a battalion Ls organized,
• the Governor of the State or Territory should
notify the Department Commander of the fact,
with such report of numbers, location of compa
nies, tte.,.A:c., as will enable him to judge of their
availability.
The civil authol'ities of said States and
Territories should, by their sheriffs of counties
and by their deputies, have small posses armed
and prepared at all times, to pursue and hunt
down-the small horse-thieving bands of Indians,
who. by dispersing, avoid the military fortes.
Wiuin they have made captures clearly within the
county, or within their official jurisdiction, the
thieves should be confined in the county jail; and
proceeded against according to law; but if traced
to any Indian reservation, the ease should be re
ported to the United States 311tralue4 bY whom
the property stolen should be demanded through
theßesident Agent, and a demand. made for the
surrender of the thief or thieves. Should there
be any doubts, the capttired Indians, should, if
possible, be delivered to the commanding officer
of some military post, who will receipt for them,
and hold them subject to the supreme authority

V. When horses, mules, or stock of any kind
are stolen by Indians,quad can be traced to a re
servation, a delknand should be made at once of
the Agent, and if the tribe be entitled ta'annui
ties, it Is understood that such annuities are
chargiable with the value of the stolen property;
but if the Steals committed, as is usual, by the
small bands of warlike tribes, who have come
from a great distance and do not belong to any
reservation, it is almost impossible to recover the
value: The United States is not liable for such
theft any more than for a highway robbery com
mitted in one of the more settled States.
The Governors of States and Territories in
terested in the foregoing, are requested to com
municate freely with department commanders on
all these subjects—and by way of appeal, diuly, to
me or to higher authority.

A Family found and fobbed of . 57,000
' • • Worth of Bonds, acc.
-One of the most daring outrages which has
evenbeen perpetrated in the vicinity of Neviark,
New Jersey, 'occurred on Tuesday evening, at
Westfield, a village some twelve miles west of
Newark, in Union county. About nine o'clock
in the evening, four men entered the house of •
Mr. Jacob Miner, an old- and — verY respeetable
resident of Westfield, and demanded hia money,
telling him that they would not leave the house
until their demands were complied with. Ono of
their then :knocked the Old gentleman down,
after which - he was bound, hand and foot. -
The four afterward.. _secured Mrs. Mittel:,
a piling lady named Clark, who was
visiting there, and a laboring man named James,
who was employed upon the premi es, in the
same way. Two of them then searched the upper
part of the house, while the other two remained
below with the lamily. The searching party soon
returned with $7,000 worth of bonds and two gold
watches, one belonging to Mr. Miller and the
other to 14 1 % wife; and the desperadoes then
,tle
parted, leaving the family helplessly bound.
Previous to leaving, however, they threatened to
kill the fettered inmates and fire the house if they
made. an alarm. Soon after they left, Mrs. Mil
ler succeeded/ in freeing herself and then
released her eUmpanions; but fear of encoun
tering the robbers deterred them from giving
an alarm until about five Wail the next
• morning. Immediate steps were ta II to secure,
if possible, the arrest Of Me perpetrators of this
high-handed outrage, and Ntwark and New
York detectives are already at work upon the
case.. A reward of $5OO has been offered for the
arrest of the robbers md recovery of the bonds.
The following : are the numbers of the bonds and
descriptions of the watches ; Four Elizabeth City
bonds of 61,900 eaok, Nos. 42, 62, 351, 352; two
Rahway City bonds of .i 51,000 each, Nos. 59 and
61; and/one Union County bond, No. 44, of $l,OOO.
One of the gold watches stolen had au open face,
with the initials "J. M. N. J.," on the inside; the
other was a lady's watch, marked on the outside
"J. A. M." . ,
A British Officer Sim! by a United

[From. to-day's New York WorliLl
. .A grand Masonic ovation in aid of the - destitute
and suffering Masons of the South was held last
evening in the Academy of Music. At an early
hour not only the Masonic- brethren, with ears
ready for the sweet sounds, and hearts open to
noble sentiments, but the lair sisters, although
they perhaps were not of the order, rapidly began
to collect into a happy,. intelligent and expectant
audience. It was not long before the
Academy assumed a very different
aspectNY from ' the normal spectacle of
bare seats and empty boxes. Tier on tier was
soon occupied with , the possessors of smiling
faces, loves of hats and boveringlans, agreeably
relieved-by the frequency of uncovered and un-•
chignoned heads and bearded feces: At the,
beginning of the concert there were no seats left,
and quite a number of spectators were obliged to
stand. The audience was as 'cultivated aitd intel
ligent as it was large. _
' The concert began at 8 o'clock, at which time
,the Academy was entirely filled, with the excep
tion of reserved boxes.
The rendering of the selections was greatly ap
plauded, the singers:and performers being repeat
edly encored. .
,
President Johnson was expected during the
evening; a telegram having been received from
New Haven announcing his intention of being
present, and a box was prepared and reserved for
him. The audience were disappointed, but were
highly gratified with the entertainment, and more
than gratified with its object. •
During the intermission in the musical exer
cises, Mr. James T. Brady, accompanied ly sev
eral prominent members of the brotherhood, took
his place on the stage.
Mr. Brady was then introduced to the audience
by Past Grand Master Robert D. Holmes, and
greeted with loud and long applause. IVhen
this had subsided, Mr. Brady opened his address
with the usual salutation of 'ladies and gentle
men," remarking that such was the ordinary lan
guage of cotirtesy when a speaker presented
himself before a public audience; buthe wished
to address the gentlemen present by a designa
tion more -endearing, and which in that connec
tion it fell to his lot to utter for the first time in
his life—Brother Masons. [Loud applause. 1
He was sorry, so far as the gratification of mere
personal feeling was, concerned, that ho
could not add to this .something even more
graceful
,and beatktiful, •• and
. say "Sis
ters."' [Applause • anClatighter.] He was in
formed by thegentlemen connected with this
most venerable, honored and honorable institu
tion that it had not forever been divested of that
litrace In' ts organization. • Me then referred eulo
qtleally to the women who had figured eon.-
spit
•uonsly in the history of MaSonry, and said
that there was no order of men on earth who had
established such sacred, solemn, undying obliga
tions for the honor of the other sex. He re
garded the womenpresent then as encouraging.
him to come forward for one of 'the noblest pur
poses that ever stirred his heart, or excited mo
tives of benevolence. He rejoiced that he was
permitted to speak a few words on the cause for
which they were conferred. On the ticket sent to
him, which favored him with admission to
one of the boxes, he saw.printed those few elo
quent, patriotic, tearfuj words, "The cry of the
hungry." This is no catch of the pen, no humor
of the fancy. It is a sad, stern truth. While he
stood before them, there were those in the South •
who had been fostered in tip arms of motherS
who bent over theirs with smiles benignant as
those of heal - undo whom in their childhood they
looked up as we look uti t( thegreat Master of
the universe—men, women and children brought
up in comfort and even-litxury, who now-know
the pinching . wants of the , Niemen noces
saries of life.. He, like many other men in
the assembly. had received frequently letters
from the South, the penmanship and manner of
expression of which indicated that, they came
from ranks of high 'position, and wishing him
to get some benevolent gentlemen to associate
their menus together, that they might purchase a
few bushels of corn for the support or their
starving little ones. It watt peculiarly interesting .
to contemplate their duty, as Masons to the
South, in view of the circumstances developed
duriiig the, war. When it broke out It disrupted
families; it severed the ties of'friends: it assailed
the structure of the government; and it ntayhave
been said to strike at the foundations of religion;
•but it left Masonry standing in its grand perfec
tion still. (Loud applause.)'• And now, on this
occasion, when it was represented there for the
purpose of obtaining means to send the' support
of life to famishing brothers and sisters of the
South, he invoked the presence of the Deity the
enter their hearts and fill the tabernacles of their
souls with spiritual determination that noup of
them might feel satisfied until they had contri
buted in some way for the relief of those suffering
people. • • , •
Mr. Brady closed . with an eloquent appeal ,to
Masons to contribute .to the object of ,the meeting,
and an expression of hope that their starving
brothers of the South would accept the gift, and,
setting, aside all political questions, be united to
them in charity, kindness and benevolence:
`Terrible Fall from . a Church Spire.
[From the Indlanapolla Journal, Juno KJ •
The chapter of horrible accidents - received an
addition of more than usual terror yesterday
morning, in the fall of one of the' carpenters en

street. Mr. Peter Wilson was engaged in raising
the frame work of the steeple, and stepping up
a ladder about 115 feet from the ground, missed
his , foothold, and in falling struck upon the roof
about two-thirds of the.way from the comb' to
the caves, breaking. through the slate tiles and
sheeting, and bouncing upon the roof of the
two-story frame - -house just west, and thence
to the ground. The distance. from where
ho fell to the roof first struck wo• should

with which he fell may be inferred from the break
