La Guaika, Feb. 2d, 1869— FeeUng »t _ t ! be,
nlnnlbg ol the New Yeßr the necessity— forafew
a recreation, both mental and physical,,
I determited opon mahlng “ D olcn ff on
Btrnciion and entertainment through the nelgh
boricK mountains, hitherto but Imperfectly, or
not at all explored, and to extend my research as
lir as Mount BlUo, probably the highest mountain
of Venezuela.; Having procured the necessary
nmles for the journey on the preceding evening,
our email company, consisting of Mr. Moulding,
an American ciiizdn, myself,and two servants for
tahing care of the animals and carry ing our pro
visions and instruments, left the town of La
Gnairo on the Ist day of January last, before sun
rise, and took too road which leads eastward from
JSs place to Maputo. Alter passing thp Immediate
Mwlrons of La Guulra,Cardoual,Guanape, and the
Protestant cemetery, we were soon in a pleasant
scene,and rode through a low country In a broad
tart unpaved road between hedges of the most
varied kindß of shrubs, partly in blossom. On
the right band -wo had a range of mountains cov
end with thick forests, and on the left the sea
dotted with vessels coming in. going oat or riding
at anchor. The,bold projecting masses of reck,
vrooded on the sides,'and Old decaying fortresses
crowning the ridges, '' gave thb landscape a
character peculiarly grand.
In these colonies wd discover at eveiy step
some traces of that activity which characterized
the Spanish nation In the sixteenth century. On
this road We met, with no great plantations. These
lie beyondMaento, or In the forests 7 at a great
distance from .the road; batsomeseattered houses,
with small gardens, proved to ns that the fertility
«f this beautiful spot was duly appreciated. Thtß
vallejy genUy declining towards the sea,although
doubly warmed by the reflection of the rays of
the sun from thb steep mountains, likewise en
joys too advantage of being open to the refresh
ing winds from the Hast.
‘On the lower grounds the sugar-cane thrlvos
with > incredible luxuriance, and we saw a par
ticnlar proof of the strength of the soil in some
»tbnlB 6lmoßt a foot thick, whleb, having j>een
deprived ofi the branches and roots, divided into
several pieces, and fixed in the ground to form a
febcb,.nad immediately taken root, and shot oat
new'branches. They were stems of the plndalba
and ’several, crotons. This phenomenon is the
iiipteianarhhblebecause the pieces which were
settonpsido down grow as fast as the rest.
; Hete at this spot we were rejoined by our boys,
wbb'bad. been detained on the road; and one
of them; on noticing our admiration of the con
cealed pioceeecS of vegetation, naively remarked
that here anything will grow—even a pig, If you
merely plant a pig's tall.
At the Fort Pdnto Mulatto, near a rude cross
erected by the wayside, amidst a pile of stones,
about two miles from the pori,we Issued from be
tween the hedges along the road into a little val
ley, containing a brook with -flowery banks,
bounded by a lew gardens and meadows which
* were just then illuminated by the brilliant rayß
of the morning sun, while in the background
the massy summits of the Cordillera moun
tains were veiled in the gloom of a foreßt which
wgs still in shade. ' Here we bid a parting glance
to the narrow sandy beach, and to La G., with
its houses Of dazzling Whiteness, with flat roofs,
and windows without clobb, built agaiOßt the
wall of an almost perpendicular rock, thinly clad
with vegetation.
■The view of the “Sllla,” as it presents itself
here for the firet time, is very majestic,
lrom the groups of palm trees which line
the .boast, to the region of the arbntus,
the .laurel .and the pine. This formerly vol
canic rock is crowned with luxuriant vegetation;
its double cone projected Itself on a sky of tbo
purest bine, whilst dark thick clouds enveloped
the rest of the mountain to the height of 7,000
feet
The pumice-Btone, illuminated by the first rays
of tbo sun, reflected a reddish light like that
which tinges the snmmits of the higher Alps.
A solemn, soothing repose was diffusod“=over
this delightful epot, which seems to have been
created for the enjoyment ot retired and cheerful
contemplation of nature. The variety of light
and of the foliage of trees, which is seen on
the loreste, on the slopes of the monntain,
the blending of the most diverse colors, and tho
dark,azure and transparency of the sky, impart
tQithb landscapes of the tropical countries a charm
to' which even the pencil of a “Rosa”' and a
“Clauds” .cannot do fualico.
The road gradually rises; and whon, after pass
ing over.many Wooded hills, we arrived at 9 iu
th(t morning at “Gallipau,” our hospitable friend,
ficnor Cardona,bade us welcomo on bis domain, a
plan tation of some 6,000 coffee-trees,located about
3,000 feet high, at thefootof Mount “A Vila,"which
I bad .the pleasure of mounting one year. ago.
Nothing can be compared to the beauty
of this retreat, from which, amidst
the fragrant shrubs of Venezuela, ah
enchanting prospect over tho port and sea
may be enjoyed.- The crowns of the majestic
paUnß wave slowly over the silent roof which
they overshnde, like a symbol of peace and tran
quillity. A stream, gently murmuricg.descends
from the mountains, and tbe “mamue," with its
almost human voice, produces a pleasing melan
choly. Balsamic odors fill tbe air, and strange
flowers almost overpower tbe senses with their
perfume. Now it is the neighboring
orange grove; then the thick tufts of the
cupatoria, or the budß of tbe flowery palms,
suddenly bursting, which disclose their blossoms,
and thus, maintain a constant succession of
fragrance. •
After breakfast and a repoße of a few hours, we
continued our excursion, followed by our boys,
chanting and capering, by ascendirig to tbe
coffee plantation of Senor Tomas Bueno, near
which the little river of Macuto, flowing
in a luxuriantly-shaded ravine, forms some
fine cascades in descending the moan
tains. This place is estimated to be at
the elevation 0f4,000 feet above tbe port of La
G,, situated,on tho eastern side of tbe ‘'Avila,"
where we were sure of finding a guide. We
could not find one at Gallipau wbo bad mounted
the peak, and I was not surprised at this. The
most curious objects become less interesting ia
proportion as they are near to us; and I bave
known inhabitants of tbe city of Buffalo, N.-Y.,
who had never seen the Niagara Falls but at a dis- j
tanco. Passing over several streams wnich were 1
turned to good account, and winding through !
various plantations of coflee, cotton, sugar, j
yam, yucca, etc., we. at length reached tho ;
terrace of an eminenco’where a delightful pros- ■
pectover lhe-port,witb its many inasis and flags,
and tbe city stretched out at tbe fool of tbe hills '
below, the houses dazzling in the sod, was spread |
before our eyes. Here a venda stands, bat it of- 1
fords only tobacco, ram, biscuits and sardines,
and no accommodation.
Pursuing our road, we enjoyed diversi
fied romantic prospects into tbe valleys
below, Sometimes you traverse open
apple,)where a stronger light is reflected from the
flowery: ground or from tbo shlniDg loaves of tbe
neighboring:high trees. Sometimes you enter a
cOQi.'shodjvboWer. Here a thick wreath of ml
kanUB 1 ant&paeslon-flowers climb through the
crowns of tbacellis, mimosas, shining myrtles;
there: busby la-otous, scbastlanas and innume
rable other: plants form an impenetrable thicket,
amidst which grow Immense stems of the silk
cotton tree, of the lecythis, with its singular
fruit resembling a pitcher, slender stems ot the
cabbage palm, knd many other sovereigns of the
wood, enlivened by tbe buzz of the gay hum
ming-birds and. by the singular notes of un
known birds and insects.
Proceeding further up tbe mountain, you roach
a steep eminence,' from which there is a surpris
ingly beautiful view of the sea. Mount Avila in
the west, and the sugar loaf Gran Camburiiu
the east. Here lives a species of monkey never
before seen by any of our party. The road by
which we now continued is on the right of a tor
rent or baranca. that in tbe rainy season forms
fine cascades; it Is narrow and tortuous. Tho
ieet of our mules were slipping every moment
on beds of stono, which were very steep. As we
approached the hacienda of Senor Bueno, we felt
the temperature of the atmosphere gradually be
coming lower. This sensation was so much tbe
more agreeable, as tbe air of La Gualralsvery
•PPrt’ssive. Aa our organs are more affected
by disagreeable Impressions, the change of
temperature becomes still more sensible when wo
return from this region to the port: wo seem then
lobedrowicgnear the month of a furnace. Accord
tog to the laWof decrement of heat, 3,000 feet in
height produce in ihie latitude onlylonror five
degress difference in temporatnre. The heat
whlCh pVelpOwera the traveler on his entrance
Into IO Gualrtf must, consequently, be attributed
lotho reflection from tho rocks against which
Uje town ic bnilt On our arrival at the above-
mentioned estate, toward* evening, wo hoard the
sound of anoxhomocho lnthe woods, aelgnai
for the peonee (laborers). Daring and after our
supper, many of them appeared, and repaued to*
a -rancho to hare a New Year a - dance.
Having examlned tho condition Of -;Oor
animals and seen that ''they wore weu
attended to by onr boys, we soon were attracted
by the music coming from a guitar, and tho rat
tling accompaniment of a matdea. They also
whistled or eang alternately to the music, and tho
longer the dance continued the more lively did
they become and the louder were their voices.
By einging extemporaneously, and the sound .of
tho instrument, tbo Venezuelan is easily excited
to dancing, and expresses his cheerfulness in pol
ished society by graceful cotillions, and in Infe
rior company by expresßivo pantomlncs
and attitudes like those of tbo negroes.
At 9 P. M., we all were enveloped In clouds,
and tbo aimosphero grew so cold.that a cobije
(double blanket sewed together) could not keep
us Warm The. “3111 a" appears during, Decomber
and January seldom free from clouds, and as
two serene days seldom Fuceced each ‘ other, we
Wore-advised not to defer onr ascent, and to
Choose a clear day, bnl rather a time when, the
clonds not beiDg elevated, we might hope, alter
having crossed tho first layer of vapors uniformly
6pread, : to enter inlo.a dry and transparent air.,
At eleven d pale light lay over the gloomy
forest; the silence of thlß retreat wos Interrupted
only by the murmuring of distant streams, and
lost in the contemplation Of this attractive scene,
wo cheerfully resigned onrolvps to tho refresh
meet of sleep. In the United States this would
have been one of the finest summer nights, os the
thermometer was hot below 63.fi Fahrenheit, and
yet we found it almost impossible to sleep for
the cold. It Is a fact as,remarkable as it is gene
rally observed, that a few months’ residence In a
warm climate Is sufficient to give to the frame
an extraordinary sensibility to thogrodations of
warmth; It* probably proceeds from tbe_ in
creased action of the nervous system, which is a
natural conseqnenco of the great stimnlns of tho
light and heat. , , .
At four o’clock the next morning we again set
out. accompanied by n guide, and descended ft
toarrPw path .traced on & steep covered
with turf. The path passes over some streams,
the several huts mostly Inhabited by people mak
ing coal. The vegetation was uncommonly strong
and luxuriant, but on ascending again the oppo
site side oi the Galley, the large trees gradually
became more rare and the bamboos and ferns
more numerous, among which Is a beautiful ar
borescent fern of fifteen feet In height. When yon
havo made your way through* the lost thicket,
yon reach the green summit of a mountain,where
single shrubs, among which Is a magnificent ar
borescent valosia, otter to the eye n vegetation
resembling that of the Bine Bidge of North Caro-
This spot commands a beautiful view, extend'
ine over tho woodeyhills, volleys,defiles filled with
thick vegetaiioD, and the city,to the sea,the broad
surface of which is lost in the distant horizon.
* At this elevation the difference in the atmosphere
Is already so sensible that you fancy yourself trans
ported to a colder zone. I saw the thermomoter
kept a little below 67 deg.; the baromotershowed
that wo were already 5,110 feet above the level
Of the sea. Our guide thought it would require
five more bourn to reach tho summit of the •‘Bil
ls ” Several streams flowing lrom the ridge of
th'e.mountalns refreshed ns with their cold water.
The roaring of cascades is heard, while tho water
i is übeeen, being concealed by thick groves of
! eiytbrlna, and the Indian fig-tree.
■ Just before wo arrived at this spot, a beautiful
young tiger-snake, with black and small white
transverse bands, which is supposed to be very
venothous, crossed our path. We had also no
ticed on our way a titi, slugs, and very singular
birds, butterflies, and other insects. In the sur
rounding forestß, as wo were assured, there grows
a kind of bark, which, since several years, has
been exposed under the name of “quina, the
efficacy of which in intermitting fevers, has been
proved by experiments made by physicians at
Caracas. Perhaps this medicine would be more
powerful if the bark of young trees was taken
in preference, which has hitherto not been the
case, the ignorant people employed to gather it
having selected very thick and woody pieces,
which can be pulled up‘without any trouble, to
the finer bark of the young frees and branches.
Anoiher plant growing here, and containing o
great quantity of bitter, is the Carqueja; it, how
ever; differs from' the pure bitters by the conside
rable admixture of resinous and aromatic parts.
At '8 o’clock A. M. we reached the last hut on
our way, neaT the declivity of a high rock from
which a crj stal brook.partly dissolved into mist,
fell from the height 'of nearly a hundred feet
into the valley. Here we loft our beasts,supplied
ourselves with water, and cdntlnfn'd’our ascent
on foot In Indian file, cutting oar way with
macbotas (cutlasßeß). The steepness of the ascent
gradually increasing, we were obliged to incline
onr bodies considerably forward as we advanced.
The slope is often from 30 deg. to 35 deg. Wo
felt the want of cramp-irons, or.sticka shod with
iron. Short grass and soft moea covered the
rocks of gneiss, and it was equallv impossible to
hold bv the grass or to form steps, os we might
hove done In softer ground. This ascent, which
wos attended with more fatigue than danger, dis
couraged those who accompanied ns from tho
towD, and who were unaccustomed to climb
mountains, sp that when we reached tho first
promontory of the “Billa”—the Logunlta—our
iwo bovs refused to proceed any further, and con
sequently remained here to await onr return from
the highest peak.
The weather was now becoming cloudy, and
the m|et already Issuing in the form of smoko,
We foresaw from these Infallible stole that we
should soon be covered with a thick fog; we,
however, continued climbing the slopes towards
the second peak, called Leanada de los Matho
maticos, which we reached at 10 A. M. Here the
vegetation grew smaller, and the animal king
dom lost Its life and activity; two small liliaceous
plants, with yellow flowers, alone lift np their
1 heads among the,grasses whieh cover the rocks;
and among tho brambles only tho huckleberry
shows itself; Ihe strawberry, which covered the
g onnd for a distance of two miles, having long
disappeared.
On or about the third peak—plco de los A vispos
—we were surprised at finding some indigenous
rose-trees; and at the fourth peak—plco de Incl
enso—a Bbrnb, 10 or 15 feet high, of the corym
biferous family, extremely resinous. The Creoles
call it Incienso (Incense). Its tough and erenate
leuves, as well es the extremities of the branches,
are covered with a white wool, emitting the
agreeable odor of storax. On passing the Fils de
Piadro, between the fourth and sixth peaks, we
were sometimes so enveloped in mist, that we
could not, without difficulty, find our way. At
this height there is no path, and we were obliged
to climb with our hands when onr feet foiled
ns on the steep and slippery acclivity.
Every lime that the clouds surrounded
us the thermometer sunk ae low as
67 deg.; with a serene sky it rose to 80 deg.
These observations were made in the shade. But
it is difficult on snch rapid declivities, covered
with a dry, shining, yellow turf, to avoid the
etfeclß of radiant heat, We were at 7,140 feet of
elevation, and yet at the same height towards the
I east we perceived in a ravine not merely a few
| toUtary palm trees, bnt a whole grove; It was
! tho “palma real.” This group of pulms,at so con
(--slderable an elevation, formed a striking con
i trust with the wlllowe scattered on tho depth of
j the more temperate valley of Caracas. The
; ground was strewed with decomposed feldspar, of
| snowy whiten; ss, and the fissures, the ravines
and the landslips, occasioned bv Bhocks of ear h
quakes and torrents in the rainy season, with
gneiss. Prismatic blocks, one foot
1 wide ond twelve long, stand ont from
the ground obliquely, and appear
i on the edge of precipices like enormous beams
suspended over the abyss. These rooks, passing
sometimes into granite, sometimes into mica and
elate, contain In several spots of the valley of
Caracas small quantities of gold, too poor how
ever to encourage any attempt at working them.
' After proceeding for the space of another
hour across savannahs, we entered into a little
Wood composed of ehrnbs and small trees, colled
‘‘HI Pejual," doubtless from the great abundance
of the pejoa, a plant of very odoriferous leaves.
The steepness of the sixth peak became less con
siderable, and gavo ns a chance to examine
mare : rainntely many beautiful shrubs with
tortuous branobes, stiff leaves, and large purple
flowers, such as the Alpine rhododendrons, the,
Andromcdas, tho Vaccinhic, and Befarlas; but
while thus engaged we were dlsagreoably sur
prised ond frightened by the dletant voice of a
jaguar. Luckily it did not make Its appearance,as

This eastern dome Is the moat elevated of the
two ultimate peaks which form the -summit of
the mountain. The hollow, puerta, tietwoen has
suggested the Spanish’namo- of “StUa’l (saddle),*
which la given to the whole mountain..... To roach
this peak, It is necessary to approach as near a 3
possible the great precipice which descends
towards Caravallcda andthecoaßt The general
bspcct of the mountain points out this path; tbo
locks being so steep on the East, thalit would be
extremely difficult and dangerous to reach the
eummit of the “Silla” by ascending straight to the
eastern dome, instead of going by the way of the
puerta. Thermometricai observations made at
the “8111 a” render it' probable that tho mean
temperature of tho air 1b still 70 deg. or 72 dog.;
hnd tbo thermometer keeps in tho coolest season
between 05 deg. end 77 deg. In the day, and in the
night between 64 deg. and 69 deg. THO greatest
nocturnal refrigeration probably never exceeds
48 deg. In the Uttlo thicket of the .Prjttol, near
the pnrple-flowered Befaria, grows a heath
leaved bedyotis, eight feet high; the caparosa; a
cepidum, which appears identical with that of
Virginia, and lastly, mosses, which -cover the
locks and the roots of the plants. We spent an
hour and a half In examining the grand seonery
Spread out nnobstrnctedly before our eyes. The
absence of large trees oh the tWof rocky
summits of the “8111 a” may be attributed
to the aridity of the soil; the 1 violence
of the winds blowing from the sea; and the con
flagrations so frequent in all the mountains of the
equinoctial region. The eye ranged over a vast
extent of country; looking down to the North
was the sea, with the islands of Buen-alro, Aves,
Orchids, Lob Boques and Tortuga; on the West
we discerned the mountains of Aragua and Cara
bobo; on the East the mountains ,ot Bolivar and
Cape Cordero, and to tho Bouth the city of
Camcae, with its fertile volley, the villages of
Cbocao, Petare, Antlmano, El Valle, the coffee
plantations, and the course of the Rio Gualra, a
Blender streak of water reflecting a ellvery
light—all bounded by the mountains of
Giiarico, behind which begins the Unknown
world of the Orinoco and the Amazon.
\Ve were at 8,175 feet above the Caribbean Sea,
gazing on an extent of water the radius of which
was 36 leagues. Persons who are affected by
looking downward from a considerable height
should remain at tho centre of the email plat
which crowns the eastern summit of the “8111 a.”
The mountain is not remarkable for height, but
it is distinguished among all the mountains 1
have visited by ah enormous precipice on the
sldo next the 1 eea. The coast forms only,
a narrow border, and looking frora tbe sum
mit of the pyramid on the 1 houses of Caravalleda
this wall of rocks seems by ah optical illusion to
be. nearly perpendicular. The real slope of tho
declivity appeared to me about 50 deg. to 63 aeg.
A precipice of some 8,000 feet like that of the
“Silia” of Caracas, is a phenomenon far more
tare than is generally believed by those who
cross mountains without measuring their height,
[heir bulk aDd their slope. The Bhots we fired at
the “8111 a” wore scarcely audible to ns, but clearly
beard and counted by people in the'lower va’leys.
At 2 P. M. the sky became more and more
cloudy, and the thermometer sankbelow 66 dug.,
a temperature at which, in thlß zone, people
begin to suffer from the cold.
Badefied with tho success of our journey, we
began now to descend again into the puerta, nod
to return to our bove awaiting us at the first
peak. Wgnderlng’ln the thick wood Of arbor
escent plants, we constantly directed our course
towards the first western peak, which we per
ceived from time to time through an opening. On
a sudden we found ourßelyes enveloped In a thics
mlst;the compass alone could guide us; hut in ad
vancing northward, we were In danger at every
step of findingburselves.at' the brink of that enor
mous wall oi rocks, 1 the Flla de Piaura.wuicn de
scends almost perpendicularly to the depth of
seven or eight thousand feet towards the sea. We
were obliged to half; destroying In the meantime
some oranj;eß stowed away in our pockets.
Fortunately an eastwind began to blow vio
lently from tho sea; the thermomqter rose to 00.8
deg. It was no doubt an ascending wind.whleh,
by • heightening the temperature, dissolved the
vapors. In less than five minutes the clouds dis
ported, the “Logunita” appeared singularly near,
and with machete in hand, shaping our coarse
through the thick wood of heliconla.we soon ar
rived at the peak, where our boys, on noticing
our approach, had spread the cobijas under
an incense tree, ‘and ” prepared a dinner,
which we unceremoniously attacked, refreshing
our parched Upß fr'om a suspicious looking bottle
before us, and the water of a laguna near by.
At 3 P. M. we were again on our way, soon
reached the hut, mounted our muleß, and by a
bright full moon' returned to the Hacienda
Bueno about 8 o’clock at night, overcome with
fatigue, having traveled for sixteen hours nearly,
without stopping. T)ie" next morning at
nine we continued „our descent, and finally
reached home egaih at sunset of the
3d of January. Our hoys, again In . good
spirts, expressed' , themselves satisfied,
but regretted to have forgotten the tiger-skins.
Onr friends at La Gnaira had been able to dis
tinguish ns with glasses,, and noticed the Stars
and Stripes planted op, the “Billa”whUo enjoying
an hours repose.' They felt interested in hearing
the account of onr expedition. C. F- L.

[Correspondence ef (ha PhiladeltM* Emdfll Bulletin.]
Washington, April 6 —The vexed question of
the civil tenure bill was at last settled to day by
the President officially notifying the House that
he had approved the law. The matter has caused
him a great deal ol perplexity, and he delayed so
long before ho signed It that some peoplo began
to think he would veto It. Last week there was
scarcely a morning that Judge Noah Davis, ol
the Honse, was not closeted with the
President npon the subject, and It Is
well known that Davis maintains that
the bill, as It passed both Honscs from
the Conference Committee, authorizes the Senate
to reinstate an officer suspended by the President
by rejecting the party who may be named to sne
> -ed him. There can be little donbt that the Judge
v, ry strongly Impressed the President with this
idea, in order to prevent any misunderstanding,
an unusually large number of Republican Sena
tors walled on the President this morning, indi
vidually, on purpose to talk the matter over, and
they assured him there was no desire on their
part to checkmate him. and that the alleged
double construction of the law which had been
argued as a fact In the newspapers and on the
floor of both Houses, was without foundation.
• This decided the President, and he signed the
litil, I think there must have been upwards of
twenty Senators at the Whlto House belwoen 10
and 12, and among them were the moßt promi
nent and Influential members of that body.
TUB CASE OF MYERS VB. MOFFETT.
This case was up before the Committee on
Elections this morning, who had a spirited debate
on It, but, without coming to any conclusion, ad
journed to meet this evening to take up tbo sub
ject again. There seems to be some hesitation
on the part of some Republican members of the
committee upon the question of throwing out
several precincts where It Is claimed by Mr.
Myers thabgreat fronds were perpetrated. They
fear that this will establish a bad precedent,
which will be made use of by the Democrats in
future contests, should they have a majority ol
the House. In other words, the committee seem
disposed to decide tbo case upon the points of
law involved, without regard to political con
siderations, and ovon some of the Republicans
are disposed to throw aside any preference for
Myers on the score of his being o Republican,
er what effect his admission or exclusion may
have upon the question of a two-thirds majority,
which it is so desirable to maintain, but not at the
expense of fairness and justico. Judge Jeremlab
Black, too, it is understood, has been posting
the Democratic members of the committee, in aid
of Moffett, and as Black is' undoubtedly an ablo
lawyer, his advice has resulted in inspiring the
Democrats with a grcatdeal of confidence in their
side of the case. It is hardly thought, however,
that tho committee will report against Myers, put
will shift the responsibility of the whole matter
npon the House;, and as, there,are now only five
more days left of tho present session, the Demo
crats may, by "filibustering” and delay, prevent
Myers befog admitted before December next.
DEMOCRATIC ASPIRANTS FOR OFFICE.
The graßd tidal wave :of. office-hunters, which
hiis swept the capital for the last threo
weeks. Is not composed exclusively of Republi
cans, for among those aspiring to offlqiabposl
lions are a few Democrats, whose modesty cer
tainly entitles them to greot consideration, I
have learned of ono man “up” for a prominent
office,who,last weckleft here for Philadelphia,and
who voted the Democratic ticket at tho October ,
election; butflld not vote in November, as he did
not consider his voto “would affect the general
result." I was hot a little astonished at learning
that he feels he should bo rewarded for his patri
otic exertions, and 1b absolutely trying to got an
appointment under Grant! More strange, suite
number of influential citizens of Philadelphia
have eijdorecd hi til. CJt wpuld b 6 well for people,
before etching petitions, to know positively how
the applicant voted at the last election.
STAMPEDE OF ‘ THE OFF!CIS-HUNTEB8 —DISGRACE-
FUL SCENES.
Slnce Friday, there has been a general clearing
out of “lame aueks” whose fate was settled by
the enormous budgets of nominations sent to
the Senate by the President on Friday, Saturday
and to-day. .Every one of these “patriots," when
he camo here, felt certain ho hsd “a sure thing pf
- it," and nota little amusement has been created
among the disappointed. at, their bad luck. On
Saturday, ah Individual from the South, seeking
on appointment, was horrified to find that: tho
’ name of another man had been sent in for the.
place. He Immediately got on a '“glorious
drunk," and beoame'uproarious. While in this
condition, It happened that the other Individual
Whose name was sent in got on a ' “glorious
; drunk," too, In honor of his good fortune., had
, the two chanced to meet in this belligerent Con
dition, and tbo resnlt was a “muss” of conside
rable dimensions, with black eyes and bloody
noses for two- The man whoso.namo was spat
' la, fearful of the matter getting out, left sud
denly last night for New-York, to * spend a- few
days, and wait till the Senate disposes of his case.
On Friday tho “omnibus bdat’’ of nominations
sent to tbo Sonato attracted 'an immense crowd
of bfflce-hnhters to the room of; the Secretary of
the Seoate," where the list of nominees is 'usually
given to the reporters to eopy. The outside
crowd bad no right there, as it Is a private apart
ment; bnt they thrust themselves in and seized
(he man having the list, and would havo taken it
from him by main force, had they not been pre
vented. They stood npon tables in the room,
npset chairs, and came near capsizing several,
desks, to hear the names read.* While this was'
going on several Senators entered, and were
oritfied to see this usually quiet place, which is
generally as orderly aa.n church, turned into a
“bear-garden.” They' remonstrated, and the re
sult was that Saturday and to-day the list was
| given to the reporters in tho. ante-room, in roar
of the reporters'gallery of tho: Senate. But so
intense was the anxiety of the outslderson Sutur-
I day and to-day to bear the list read, that police
men had to be stationed at the outer' doors to
' keep tbo ontelde crowd from bursting into tho
I room. To-day, however, the crowd has greatly
I diminished, and before the close of the week the
city will reBnme Its usual qnlet.

CUBA.
Incidents of. the Capture of the : Com
auditario by the insurgents.
Havana, "March 30 Tho capture of the
steamer Comanditario has occupied public atten
tion more within the past threo days than any
pother event that has lately occurred up&n the
island. This fifie coasting vessel left Havana on
the evening of the 23d, for Cardenas. ’ At aboot
II P. M., after the captain and most of the crow
and passengers had retired to bed, the supercargo,
Joan Osorio, and a man from Santiago, named
Angel Lono, together with about 80 ot ihe pas
sengers and crew, took forcible possession oftne
steamer, capturing the Captain, and: thenithe .re
maining passr ngers and crew by groups of three
and four at a time,and finally congregated thorn in
tlja forward cabin. Osorio and his companions
bird undoubtedly made up the plot to take tho
vessel In Havana, and camo on board, well armed.
Besides, eeveral hogsheads, marked for the'Flor
do Cuba estate, were embarked by Osorio
just before the Comanditario left Havana, and are.
now generally supposed to have contained
arms and ammunition. The Chief Engineer,
Juan Lopez. and all of his firemen, and tbo pilot,
Eloy Camachs, were In the conspiracy, and effi
ciently assisted OBorio In getting possession of
the vessel. This accompllshqd, the Cuban flag,
which had unquestionably been prepared In Ha
vana for tbo event, was hoisted at the main peak,
and the captors greeted It with three cheers, and
three times three for Cespcdesand: the Republican
Provisional government. Early next morning the
Captain and the captured passengers and men
ol the crew were landed on Salt Key, ope of the
Bahamas, together with a small quantity of pro
visions. The Comanditario then steamed away
with her new ownera In the direction of the
Florida coast, and nothing has since been heard
of her. Prominent Cubans here believe that she
will go to Vera Cruz, in which port the Mexican
authorities are very apt to prevent her recapture,
and ihere she will be fitted out os a privateer, for
which she is tolerably well adapted,being strong,
and rather fast.
The passt-Bgers and crew of the Comandi
tarlo, that were landed with the captain on Balt
Key, numbered fifty persons, ono ol themwith a
wound In the rigbtarm.tho result of an in effectual
resistance made against capture while ou board.
With a small supply of provisions ou hand, and
ou an uninhabited Island, the lot of the men
would have been a bard ono soon, had not the
schooner Valeria hove in sight A number of the
abandoned men made their way to her, were
taken on board, and conveyed to Cardenas, the
point of her destination. There the authorities
interested themselves at once about those left ou
Soil Key, and eent tho steamer Cardenas to fetch
them to the city.— World.

On IhelOtb of the month President Salnave
left the capital for Anhahala, on hie way to Go
naives. On arriving at the former place he
Immediately ordered an attack by hie
troops npon the advanced posts of the
Insurgent forces, which resulted in the
capture and occnpation of the en
trenched rebel camp at Croix Sally. After this
rapid success the President proceeded to
GoDalves, where he was received both by the
population and the army with the greatest en
thusiasm. He at once ordered an attack to be
made npon Port Bienacle. which was held by the
rebels, and from which, the situation of the Port
belDg an elevated one, a very harassing fire had
been kept on the town for several days. The at
tack was made under the eye of the President,
the troops being led by Goneral Chevalier, who
has so greatly distinguished himself by his ob
stinate defence of Gonalves against the Cacos.
The rebels were driven from their formidable
position, leaving six pieces of cannon behind
them, and the Fort was destroyed by the Victors.
The successes of Salnave in the uorth.however,
bad been counterbalanced in the South by thede
fection of a considerable number of picqnets or
mountaineers of that region, who are disbanding.
This circumstance has left the country pretty
much at the mercy of Gon. Dominique, who, it
was expected, would in consequence bo shortly
In possession 8f 'the entire south. The city of
Anx Cayes still held out, bnt was strictly block
aded. Notwithstanding the blockade,the people
of Anx Cayea were well snppiled with food, large
quantities of native provisions finding their way
into It from the surrounding country.

The Milford Mutual friend, ot the 3d instant,
says: “We are happy to state from our own ob
servation, and from the general information
which wc have derived from others on the sub
ject, that the peach buds in this vicinity and sec
tion of the State, have sustained, as yet, but little,
If any material injury, notwithstanding the cold
weather of (he last two monlhß. They are not
yet out of entire danger, however, and perhaps
the most critical period through which they may
still have to pass, inny occur In the present, or
even in the early part of the ensuing month.
Tliere has certainly never been moreconcorntand:
solicitude felt or expressed, not only by tho pro
ducers, but by the pcopte generally of this State
and Peninsula than at present. In regard to a
prospective crop of this particular kind of fruit."

Washington, April 6. —Tbo Committee on

report has jnst been made ;to fthe,House;
and will be brought up fon t action

vital provisions of tho election -laws,- -oil took

of tbfisa divisions far Mr. Moffet • The request
of the sitting metober that the return of tho
Tenth division of 'the Nlnetcenth Ward shoo'd.
be thrown ont Is fully considered. They however
conclude that only.fraud can vltiato ou entire elec
tion; that hero the Republican officers were those
chosen according to law, and .If the. cUizons re
fused to vote under a misapprehension dt the law,
or were dissuaded: from doing so in . the hope
that fhe poll Would he declared void. The error
was their own, and .It cannot .be .corrected by
Congress without excluding olther of the election
divisions; afld considering only the vote* ad
mitted on both sides to be illegal .there,would etlll
be a tnoJorllV for Leonard Myers of ninety votes,
but the committee conclude that under, the, law,,
and the numerous divisions in Philadelphia and
elsewhere, their plain duty Is •to reject the divi

Myers in all 647 majority.
