Conic Judi ng Article.
TEE VERSATILITY OF TUE ours As.
In various parts of the country'
we meet
with Chinamen who have taken jobs at cut
ting cord-wood; others have taken jobs in
clearing fields and hillsides of the ohapparal,
and preparing them for the plough; and in
this process of clearing, all the wood,and.the
roots also, are cut and piled, to be hauled to
market, nnd sold for fuel. Chinamen, also,
have engaged in charcoal burning. In the
season of potato digging, large companies of
these people are attracted to all • the regions
around about our city, to asaist in gathering
this important crop.
Nobody need be told that salt is a good
thing, and that we cannot well do without it.
The importance of an abundant supply near
at band is what we all appreciate. Though
California may not as yet nave its Salina, or
its Cracow, or Turks Island, yet it has its
Carmen Island in the Gulf of California; but
nearer home it has an inexhaustible supply of
that which saves and seasons. We have an
ocean of good brine wbieh will not soon go
dry; and each spring tide pours out abundant
supplies of this liquid into basins prepared to
receive it: the Bun benevolently performs
the wo ik of evaporation and crystallization
free of charge—wbile the Chinaman gathers
and cleanses it, so that it can be furnished to
cure the poor man's fish and meat, and to
season his potatoes, at less prices
than would have to be paid were
the laborers, who are employed in the
business, of that ChM which demands
taro Or ' three dollars for eight hours' work.
Cheery salt is a question of graver import
than.ny person is likely to imagine,who has
. not lived in a country where this article is
held as a government monopoly.
Sacks and bags are of essential importance
to all who have farmers' products to handle
and to ship; yet this is an article that would
be more scarce and more expensive, but for
.the; -..nimble fingers of the hundreds of
'hineseengaged in the work of making
and repOiring them. The paper bags,
abed by grocers, fruit-dealers, and
Others, are made by Chinamen; but we can
not say what proportion of this trade they
have.
TIIE CRINAMAN AS A MINISTER TO TILE CREA
TURE-COMFORTS OF VIE CALIFORNIANS.
The liquor-dealers of San Francisco evi
dently do not all sympathize in the some
what popular prejudice against the race, for,
early every morning, we meet large numbers
of them who are going to their daily toil in
some of those many cellars over the en
trances of which arse written : "Positively no
Admittance." and from which all kinds of
liquors of the best foreign brands come out;
but, as to what goes in, the public is not so
well informed. Therefore, lovers of good
liquor ought not to be anti-Coolie men.
Our native pickles and preserves come to
Its at prices lower than those from the E ist
'and' from foreign countries, not only because
of the abundance of these fruits raised upon
our soil, but especially because the kind of
work required in preparing the fruit for use,
and in putting it up, can be obtained in
abundance, and at a reasonable rap.
Cigar-smckersoit every "whiff" from the
delicious weed, ought to bless Tung Chi for
sparing us so many of his subjects—for
with two thousand (more or less) of Chinese
eigarmakers in this city, the chances are
rather slender that the smoker has not be
tween his lips the leaves which were rolled
by some person with a cue hangtna to the
back of his head, in some cellar or loft in the
Chinese quarter. Nor will smokers evade the
difficulty should they take to cigarettes, for
there are Chinamen employed in manufac
turing these also; nor can he even light his
pipe without their aid, for many of our fric
tion matches are made by Chinamen, who
axe in the employment of the match manu
factories.
A large number of this people are engi.ged
in fishing. They pursue their occupation on
the bays and rivers, and all along the coast :
and almost everything is fish which comes to
their net. Great quantities of fish are dried
and sent to the Chinamen in every direction
throughout the country. Fish-oil is also
manufactured at the fishing settlements.
Wherever there are Chinese settlements,
some of the people will be found engaged in
gaideuing. These gardeners have introduced
many of the vegetables which they cultivate
at home. Peanuts are raised by them incon
siderable quantities. As regards domestic
animals, they are reported as being particu
larly partial to chickens,
ducks and pigs.
The time was, when they had in the suburbs
of San Francisco extensive arrangements for
hatching eggs by artificial heat. They are
large dealers in pork; buying from the whole
sale butchers, cutting up the hogs, then sell -
big to the mar ket- men what is required tor
the supply of their customers.
We have Chinese vegetable peddlers, who,
braving the vicious boys, wicked men, and
ugly dogs, visit every part of the city, and
travel far out over the sand-hills to supply
their regular customers. These men rise long
before daylight and go to the great markets
and to the Mal Rel.- wagons, and till their pan •
niers and then return home to breakfast; after
which they sally out, each man on his regu
lar route, to return to their lodging houses
about noon with a few more dimes in their
pockets than they spent at the market in the
morning. It would astonish some persons
should they look into a pair of these pan
niers, to see what a variety of articles they
may contain—cabbage, beans, peas and cel
ery; potatoes, turnips, carrots and parsnips;
apples, pears, and the small fruits; with fish,
and bouquets.
TIIR CHINAMAN AS A Ea II LEA) IN:\N. \
San Francisco has some scores of slipper
manufacturers, who dispose of their work to
our wholesale and retail shoe-dealers. Pau
falcons, vests, shirts, drawers and overalls,
axe made extensively by Chinamen. In the
Oboe and tailorinir business, the sewing ma
chine is used; while iu the trimming and flu •
ishing, occupation is afforded to many of the
Chinese women. Women are also, to some
extent, employed in certain branches of the
tobacco business. We have Chinese tin
shops, and ) Chinese shoe-blacking manfactu
ries.
We find Chinamen making settees anti
snring beds. Some are employed by the cabi
net-makers in carving wood work for the ex
tra fine furniture which is made in San Fran
cisco. They work in the tub and pail facto
ries, performing every branch of the busi
ness, and some of them are pointed out by
their employers as the "neatest and quickest
workmen they have ever known." They as
sist in the making of curled hair, and in the
manufacturing; of coir or (Kaiak, as the Asi
atics call it), which is the fibre of cocoa-nut
husks prepared for upholstery purposes. In
the East the same material is used by the na
tives for making ropes.
As we sit by our warm fires we may, re
member the Chinamen; for, in many cases
they are employed to sack the coal, and
they help to saw and split the wood which
many use; for they tend the machinery - and
handle the wood where steam power runs the
saw and lifts the knife with which the blocks
are riven. At the lead works we meet them;
also in several photographic galleries. At the
corner of Clay and Kearny streets, up stairs,
in, a portrait painter from Canton; and his
skill must be appreciated, for he is kept
busily employed.

40 AN MERLON ,VOILIEMAN.
Seven hundred and fifty professional waste=
er men do .their, hest , to,warde keeping our'
citizens; in a'preseitable Condition, and their
houses-supplied with clean linen; and there
are others to whom, in this dusty city, we
ought to be under many obligations, for
keeping the offices in order, the windows of
dwellings transparent, and the parlors "tidied
up." They are the house servants every
where, in town and country, and are coming
into favor as stable boys, gardeners and men
of-
They have been employed as coal heavers
at Acapulco; as servants on the Panama
steamers, and as sailors, deck bands, and
cabin servants on the China steamers.
In some places brick makers have em
ployed them; and they have taken contracts
to go far away into the desert to cut and pile
up sage brush, to supply quartz mills with
fuel for their engines. Many hundreds find
employment on the strawberry farms, and la
the orchards and vineyards; while the pro
prietors of these farms and vineyards have
fruit to sell and money to invest, which, but
for these Chinese laborers they would not
have; nor without them would our markets
and tables be supplied with fruits in variety
and abundance such as is enjoyed in no other
country in the world.
Of tne sixty thousand Chinamen or more
on the Pacific Coast, a very large proportion
are engaged in mining. They work the sur
face diggings and abandoned claims, and buy
from otter miners ground which they them
selves cannot work with profit; they wander
away into distant and secluded places, and
toil patiently on, though rewarded with no
more than a quarter of the amount
of duet that would satisfy any other
miner. Thus, much gold is added to the
general circulating medium which forms the
basis of wealth, which otherwise would have
remained mixed with other dust in its native
bed.
DETBRIORATION OF CALIFORNIA BOIL.
That California has been damaged.by hay
ing bad so 4nuch of its soil dug up, washed
into thexivers,and carried down to be thrown
out again over cultivated fields, none will
deny; but that she has been harmed, espe
cially by the foreign miners, just because
they have extracted the gold from her bosom,
politital economists will not allow. The gold
which Chinamen dig from the ground is not
buried in the ground again; it all goes into
circulation, or is used in the arts, and helps
to swell the amount of capital by means of
which the commerce of the world is carried
on. Those through whose hands it passes,
and those into whose possession it succes
sively falls, all become larger consumers,and,
of course, larger purchasers of what they
need, or what they think they need; and thus,
whoever has the needed article to dispose of,
may be glad that his new customer has the
means to pay, as well as the inclination to
purchase.
IDEAS OF TRADE.
By their extended travels our Chinese im
migrants have their ideas greatly enlarged as
'to what may constitute the comforts of life;
while, by increased wealth and other facili
ties, their countrymen at home are both as
sisted and stimulated in increasing the variety
and amount of products for the foreign mar
ket, and thus the traffic between neighboring
nations is Increased, individuals are enriched,
and there is a mutual interchange of the
luxuries of different countries.
Every new dollar pat in circulation, every
rood of new land brought under cultivation,
every new art, every improvement in ma
chinery, or device for cheapening labor, as
well as every fresh hand added to the work
lug force, is so much added to the wealth of
nations—so much accomplished towards ele
vating all classes of society—so much advance
in the crest work of carrying the comforts of
civiiimition to the ends of the earth.
In this connection the reader will be re
minded of the thousands of square miles of
tule lands in California now useless, but
which are not always to be so. The ditches and
dykes which at present protect only a few lit
tle patches here and there of the most fruitful '
soil that the sun shines on, may be made to
perform a like service all over the Tulare '
act amps; and the descendants of the people
who drained those almost limitless marshes
on either side their own swiftly-flowing
Yellow River, and turned them into luxuriant
fields, are able to do the same thing along the
banks of the Sacramento and the San Joaquin.
Capital invested in such enterprises may not
bring returns so speedily as will be expe
rienced by a fete fortunate speculators in the •
claims of the White Pine region; but here the
pre fits will continue, and with a still in
creasing flow, long after the fortunes made in
ruining stocks have been spent and the mines
themselves have ceased to be productive.
And who dare say that the Ban Joaquin 1,741-
ley is rot to have its sugar plantations bet'ore
many years have passed?
Whether coffee and cotton, or whatever
other foreign products, are to be cultivated in
California, we do not, at the present time,
undertake to predict; all that we proposed to
say was this: That whenever our agricultu
rists and capitalists choose to experiment in
these directions, they need not fail on ac
count of lack of experienced, competent and
docile laborers.
Chinamen once attempted the raising of
rice in this country, but without success,
owing to our cool nights. The stalk grew
well enough, but the grain did not form and
ripen satisfactorily. Possibly they might
succeed better should they experiment in a
poi lion of the State farther south.
In the above enumeration of employments,
we have said nothing of the large and re
spectable class of Chinese merchants, and of
the numbers every day iu attendance at the
auction stores, and of the large class of mer
chandise brokers whit are so fitvorably known
in many of our wholesale houses. The busi
nets done by Meese importing merchants
does not appear in their own stores; these are
usually only dikes and sample rooms, while
the cargoes they import are stored in the large
warehouses near the docks, and removed only
when delivered to retail dealers, or to buyers
from the country.
We have not mentioned the trades and oc
cupations of those Who are engaged in min
istering to the particular wants of their own
cuuntry men in this city and State, but only
those in ;which Californians' are more or less
interested, and which have a near or more re
mote bearing upon the development of our
country's resources. Neither do we profess
to have given an exhaustive list of such oc
cupations. Almost every month finds this
people engaged in some new employment—
the inventive genius of Americans is con
stantly finding out new ways by which to ac
cumulate wealth by means of Asiatic skill
and muscle; we are also occasionally stumb
ling upon some of these people who have
long been engaged in certain branches of'
business, which facts were familiar to many,
but had . bitherto been unknown to us.
SCARCITY OF LABOR IN AMERICA.
As previously intimated, in a country such
as this especially, which hero on the Pacific
coast has been entrusted to Americans to de
telop, it must be a Matter of thankfulness
that the means , for Performing the task as
signed them have also been placed within
their reach.
Even the announcement of any new in-

wention` and ttie construction of any n A T
machinery, by which results may be reached.
'Arhieli could not otherwise:be attained, or
which a given amount Of:labor May be au
coniplished in a ehorterilme, -- and at less ex
pulse, than by former niethods, is hailed with
gladness, not only by theloarties who are: im
mediately concerned, bat by eVery.true poli
tical economist, and by every; friend of pro
gress. The nearer- machinery , epproximstes
intelligence, and the nearer it comes towards
supplying man's place and performing his
labor, the more' Weleome `is' ate appearance, I
and the more truly valuable it is. .I"nere are
always, however, ignorant and prejudiced
people who complain of such inventions,
charging that they are a,damage to the poor
and to the laboring. Classes, because they take
away their work and thus rob their wives
and children of their bread.
All such cOmplaints are groundless. Every
useful invention has benefited the laborer
and his family as well as the capitalist and
the master workman. By the introduction
of machinery, operatives are in no less de
mand, while the kind of labor they are called
to perform is of a higher grade, and com
manding better wages than could be given
them before; moreover, the introduction of
machinery has lightened the severity of cor
poreal labor, and shortened the time required
for the performance of the work which is re
quired to be done in the world. Man is re
leased from the drudgery which machinery is
made to perform, and is free to employ his
manly powers in a grade of employment
higher than that in which he was formerly
occupied.
Nevertheless, there are still descriptions of
labor which cannot be performed by any
machinery which has yet been invented,
therefore human muscle and human intelli
gence must be found to do it; and we should
be glad to avail ourselves of such skill and
muscle. Without a sufficiency of laborers
we would fail to reap all the benefits of our
inventions, and people capable of serving
their race in the higher departments of the
arts and sciences would not be at liberty to do
so were they not relieved from care and toil.
The scholar qualified to be a college profes
sor, and whose services are needed in this
capacity,. might not to be kept at teaching
the simple rudiments in a primary school, if
other teachers can be found. The assistants,
however, need not always remain-assistants;
by diligence and study they, too,
mapattain
advanced positions. The;master builder may
be more profitably employed than digging
the trenches for the foundations of his walls,
or in mixing mortar and carrying brick;
while'in due time, some of those who have
served under him may beadvanced to fill his
place.
But, furthermore, were there not plenty of
laborers, the architect might draw his
plans in vain, and builders would look
with pride upon fewer monuments et
their skill; indeed, but for• the wise
division• of labor and for sufficient hands
to perform it, the people-would still be living
in such habitations as their own hands might
construct; while for garments, they would
be compelled to content themselves with such
fabrics as their own wives and daughter'
might be able to provide; whereas, with the
aid of other labor, their own comfort is en
hanced, while the condition of the laborer is
also proportionately improved. These flee,
have their illustrations everywhere, and in
every department of life.
DECAY OF. PREJUDICE.
Within the memory of the present genera
tion, a party of laborers, who, it would seem,
were impressed with the belief that nature
had endowed them with faculties, mental and
physical, barely sufficient to wield the spade
and the pick, and that all the spading and
picking to be done on this continent was in - -
daitcd for them, and must be reserved for
them—came furiously upon a gang of Units;
men, beat and wounded them and destroyed
their lodging-places, the only crime of those
Chinamen being that they too were using the
spade and the pick.
But subsequently, in a country town, the
writer has seen a man of the same nation as
those who mobbed the Chinese laborers, him
self overseeing a company of Chinamen, who
were employed in making roads. This per
son had advanced many steps beyond the
jealousies and prejudices of the people just
mentioned. The truth had dawned upon his
mind, and he had been brought to understand
that where there is more work to be done
than two hands are aole to accomplish, and
other hands can be found to do it, then, of
course, those hands should be set to work;
and he had also learned that if by intelligence
and other qualifications, be himself might rise
above the position of a mere day laborer, it
was wisdom for him to improve his oppor
tunities.
There is another consideration in connec
tion with the question of plenty or scarcity
of' laborers.
In a country where there are millions of
acres of arable land yet unimproved, the de
sideratum is of hands to till the soil, and thus
to put this land under contribution to furnish
food and clothing for those who need it, and
as far as possible to make every acre do its
part towards supporting the government, and
building up public institutions.. Where there
are facilities fur Erecting mills, with material
to be manufactured, and capital waiting to
be employed, the next necessity, is the opera
tives; and just so long as the operatives are
wanting, so long will the manufacturing fa
cilities remain unimproved, the material will
be left to waste, the capital will lie idle, and
the talent and skill which was wailing for
employment in conducting and overseeing
such enterprises is deprived of opportunity
to exert itself for the bent tit of the world.
Where railroads are to be constructed,
roads to be cut over mountains, and high
ways to be thrown up through the marshes
in order to give distant portions of the coun
try outlets to market, and to increase the fa
citifies for travel, the timely arrival of labor
ers who can perform these things CA' us is
undoubtedly to be hailed as a blessing.
THE COSIIMi (UttlSiA)-MAN. „
There yet remain in the world (outside of
California) immense tracts of uncultivated
ground. Many tens of thousands of miles of
railroad remain to be built over the surface of
this globe, and vast improvements of other
kinds must be made in various parts of the
earth me the people inhabiting them will be
brought up'to the level of the inhabitants of
this and our mother countries. Nor does any
reflecting person suppose that we and the
leading nations of Europe,,have yet attained
unto perfection. Therefore ) let us avail our
selves of every instrumentality within our
reach by which our fields may be better cul
tivated, our mines more thoroughly devel
oped, our roads built, and every other im
provement of a physical or moral nature
pressed forward; while at the same time, we
are indirectly preparing the way for sending
these and similar blessings abroad to other
lands. In particular, let al: of those people
who visit our country,or come to tarry awhile
amongst us, be benefited in every way; let
some knowledge be imparted to them in re
turn for the many and material services
which they render us; let them be • acquiring
a knowledge of our inventions, and fami
liarity with the working of machinery, so
that when they return to their homes, every
man shall there be the centre of some reform
ing influence. Nor need we grudge them
the little money they may have accumulated
by years of honest toil, and of absence from
the land they love, and from friends who , are
as dear to them as are ours to we

Singular Discovery
ida at s . S Augustine,
Flor.
The Jacksonville, Florida, Mercury, con
tains this letter : .
ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla., March 4, 1869.
'Dear Mercury and Floridian :—I have
Just returned from visiting Fort St.
Marc, or Fort Marion, and being
in a high state of excitement at a
new discovery we have just made, I am
anxious to write and communicate it; before
all the world knows it.
We, that is a party of us, one of whom
WEB Major Webb, a brother of James Wat
son Webb, Minister to Brazil, and former
editor of the Courier and Enquirer of
New York,had been all over the Fort feeling
strangely impressed b its age and strength,
by the romantic and tearful interest attached
to the accidentally discovered dungeons, and
the chained skeleton • walled in, and
bad sounded with our canes and surmised
the existence of a stair-case in the
northeastern bastion, and tried in va
rious places to trace out some regular
arch or line of masonry, that would lead to
the discovery of other walled up dungeons
and possibly other skeletons, or even the
great treasure, said to have been hidden here
by an old Spanish Governor. We had visited
every part of interest,except the southeastern
bastion, from the lower of which we were
told we could have a good view of the Bay,
Anastasia Island and. the Ocean. We did so,
and finding it as represented, turned from
the tower, which is at the top of the Fort, be
it understood—conversing as we went, of the
large space beneath our teet,of which nothing
was known. We bad just reached a place in
the southeast bastion corresponding exactly
with the point on the northeast bastion,w hose
caving in had revealed the duogeons,when an
exclamation from Major Webb startled us,
and turning to diccover the cause is
found that what we had supposed
to be solid masonry, had broken in
under his foot—a hole about eight inches in
diameter. We immediately knelt down and
broke in the plaster, which yielded readily
all around for the space of about eighteen
inches, and looked down. The interior was
perfectly round, and a regularly walled up
space or shaft, one might call it, of about five
feet in diameter. The coquina was dark and
very rough, as though of great age, and al
most disintegrated. We could only see about
five feet down,where was a debris of coquina
and fragments of plaster. This they said was
the case with the part where the other caving
in had taken place.
Having no means of pushing our researches
farther, we left our discovery reluctantly,
after having first extracted a promise from
the Sergeant in charge to let us know to
morrow any new revelations. I will write
again and let you know if the Treasury
Chest has been discovered, and, indeed, any
thing of antiquarian interest.
Yours truly,
"OUR ANCIENT ()ITT."
Dirs. Brigham Young and a Party off
6 •Sithits” is Chicago.
The Chicago Republican says:
Thu telegraph of Tdesday announced that
twenty of Brigham Young's wives were at Coun
cil Bluffs, on their way for Washington.
Whetherinfluenced by the late agitation of
female rights, and the appointment of Miss Van
Lew to the position of postmistress at Rich
mond, they had left home in hopes of obtain
ing similar appointments, or whether on a
pleasure trip Last, the telegraph operator did
not inform us. Suffice it to say however,
that the reporter at Council Bluffs only
added nineteen to the number, as there was ac
tually but one of "President Yonog's" wives
there. Mrs. Amelia Young, an accomplished
lady of about twenty-five summers, was - at•
Council Bluffs, and is now in Chicago, in com
, pany with several other members of the family
and friends. Miss Nettie Young, a sprightly
young lady of about 17;. Joseph A. Young and
wife, John W. Young and wife, and
Mr. and Mies Lillie, a nephew and a
niece of "President Young." compose the party.
Joseph is the eldest sou of the Prophet, and is
about 32 years old. His wife is a fair
complexioned lady, about 18, the daughter of
T. B. H. Btenhouse, proprietor of - the Salt Lake
Daily Telegraph. John W. Young is about 26,
and his wife, a dark-complexioned lady, very
agreeable in manners, is some 23 Kira of age,-
and until two years agifcriresident of Philadel
phia. Her parents now reside in Alm Quaker
City, Where she exptcts soon yo visit them. At

the party attended Aiken's new theatre, and other
public places and objects of Interest will be visited
by them while In our city. They left Batt_ Lake'

courtesy during the entire route.
Great . Fire In Roston—Loss Over
9100,000. •
The Boston Herald of yesterday says:
One of the largest and most persistent, and, in
the way of destruction, one of the moat complete
fires that has taken place in our city for many
months occurred yesterday afternoon. The alarm
was sounded film boa No. 15 at quarter-past 5
o'clock, and the fire department was called to
Commercial street, where fire was discovered in
the cordage warehouse of Messrs. Bewail, Day &
Co., Nos. 83 and 85.
In half an hour from the time the alarm was
given, the flames bad permeated the whole struc
ture.
Two hours of Incessant drenehlag were found
necessary to subdue the fury of the flames, a re
sult which was not fully accomplished until after
ten o'clock.
Nearly everything was destroyed. A few bales
of rope and some other articles were trundled out
soon after the fire was discovered and rolled into
neighboring stores for safety; but the amount
thus saved WAS comparatively insignificant. The
building was completely gutted, the roof and
floor timbers falling in and being consumed.
The loss of Bewail, Day & Co. is estimated from
650,000 to 675,000, and that on the building was
probably from 615,000 to 620,000, as the interior
was entirely destroyed. The firm mentioned was
fully insured, and the loss on the building was
also well covered.
From our Late Editions of Saturday
By the Atlantic Cable.
LONDON, March 27.—Telegrams from Hong
Kong received to-day report the total loss of the
Pacific Mail Steamship Company's steamer Her
mann, seventy miles north of Yokahama. She
bad on board a large number of Japanese troops,
all of whom were lost.
Escape of Cuban Prisoners.
HAVANA, March 2(.—The schooner Virginia
Price, from Manzanillo, for New York, with lum
ber, was wrecked on Saturday on the Jardenallos
reefs and became a total loss. The crew were
saved. The weamer Commanditario, a regular
packet between Havana and Cardenas, left this
port on Tuesday evening last, on the regular trip
co Cardenas, carrying about forty passengers.
Nothing was afterwards heard of the steamer
until to-day, and fears were entertained for her
safety. Tc-night, however, news was received
announcing that several of the passengers on the
vessel, who had lately been prisoners in Fort
Cabanas, threatened the crew, took possession of
the ship, disembarked the lady passengers and
the Captain, and a portion of the crew at Rogues
Key, near Cardenas, and then proceeded with the
vessel, it is supposed, to Nassau. N. P. The dis
embarked crew and passengers were subsequently
taken to Cardenas from Rogues Key.

The Civil Tenure Hill.
I Special Despatch to the Phila. Evening Bulletin.]
nhatiNforoli, March 27.—The action of the
Rouse yesterday in refusing to non-concur in the
Senate amendment to the Tenure-ot Office bill
will prolong the settlement of this vexed ques
tion, if it does not prevent any farther legislation
on this subject. Senators who have not been
active in trying to retain the present
law, although favoring it, now say that if the
House proposesto insist upon the total repeal
they will take an open stand in the Senate against
repealing the law at all. They assert that
the present amendment was agreed upon,against
the wishes of the majority of Republican
Senators, as a compromise measure and to pre
vent dissensions in the Republican ranks, and
that if the House will not accept it in that spirit,
then they can only blame themselves if the
present law is left upon the statute book un
changed and unaltered. There seems to be con
siderable feeling among the Senators who are
anti-repeal on this subject, and there is little
hopes of the matter being settled in a manner
which will be satisfactory to General Butler and
his followers in the House.
Three day& ago your correspondent tele
graphed, upon the authority of a prominent
Senator, that the amendment as passed by the
Senate . was satisfactory to President Grant.
Now, however, I have reason to believe that the
Senator misapprehended General Grant's exact
remarks. The amendment is not satisfactory to
Gen. Grant unless it is found to be Impossible to
obtain a total repeal of the bill. President Grant
does not consider the amended bill as objection
able as the original bill, as has been said, but still
there are many features in it which he does
not approve, and which, in his jadg •
ment, ought not to be there.
Even should the House reconsider Its action yes
terday, and agree to the Senate amendment, it is
in nowise certain then that the President
would make such a wholesale removal as the most
ardent politicians and the leading &public ins
desire. After a thorough canvas of the field,
your correspondent feels fully , satisfied that the
Senate will not agree to further concessions or
modifications of the bill,nor is there any Aisposi
tion to yield the principle contained in it.
Ex-Governor Thomas, of Maryland, is being
warmly urged for the Mission to Japan.

the neck from the hatchway on the second floor.
Aseistarce was procured and the body was re
moved by severing the rope. It was then dis
covered that Benham bad committed suicide by
hanging, in the most deliberate manner.
The cause which led to the act of self-destruc
tion will probably never be known. The deceased
was a very worthy and estimable young man, was
not known to have experienced trouble of any
kind, and the firm of which he was a member
was doing a prosperous business. Ho was seed
to leave the store at six o'clock in the evening,
In good spirits and in the enjoyment of his usual
health. He resided with his mother and sisters,
in Allegheny, end'after taking supper with them,
attended prayer-meeting at one of the churches.
He bad been unwell for two or three weeks, but
did not show any mental weakness, or the
slightest depression of spirits, so far as his friends
could diecover. He was about thirty-five years
of age and unmarried.

Annapolis trip at a late hour last night. The
arrangements made at Annapolis for the comfort
of the distinguished guests were admirable, and
the representative of the Sear returns his thanks
to Admiral Porter and lady for courtesies ex
tended. The drill, the review, and the reception
were alike unexceptionable, and the trip was a
pleasant one to all participating. The Secretary
expressed himself as much pleased with the dis
cipline and efficiency be observed at the Academy,
and regretted that his visit was necessarily so
brief.

the remembrance of a barbarian's cuisine.—
