The caucus agreed that the bill should 'be
postponed from Thursday evening until Fri
day morning, until the result of the visit of
the courier could bo known, and their votes,
with those who were conscientiously opposing
the bill, would have carried their point, but
their purpose as made evident to several of
the conscientious members, and they, for that
occasion, changed their votes. Notwithstad
ing this defeat, the " Ring" met at 8 o'clo n ck
on-Friday morning, at the office of a lawyer
in Harrisburg, for the purpose of hearing the
news from New York. Orie who re
sides not far from York county

Dauphin county, and another living chose to

miles from the following : Philadelphia,Bucks,
Berke, Union, Lehigh, Montgomery, Lancae

Dauphin, York, Greene, Beaver , and Schuyl

bere,and the only consideration which induces
their names being withheld from the public is
that each has a wife and children who are
anxiously awaiting the return of a husband
arid father who, in their belief, has rendered
great services to his State.
This gang sat nervously watching the door
of the apartment in which they were
assembled, in expectation that every minute
would bring them joyful tidings; but a half
hour passed, and tired of the twaddle with
which they were being entertained, they ad
journed to Meet in one of the committee
rooms adjoining the House. Whether the
unwholesome -news that their agent had
failed to . see the representatives of the New,
York and Erie had reached them, or whether
they had , been made aware of the fact that
their meeting had been made known to
others, none except two were on hand at the
designated place at the hour named, and they,
after walking about for a few minutes, left.
Finding that no cash was to be used in de
feating the bill,they quietly took their seats in
the House and cast their votes for it. Every
body here now has a knowledge of this meeting,
and feelings of the utmost disgust are ex
pressed for the participators in its proceed

your correspondent will certainly be made

OUR WILMINGTON LETTER.
News and General Items.
(Correspondence of the Phila. Even'g Bulletin.]
WILMINGTON, March 22d.—The Bevy
COurts of the lower counties have closed their
sessions, and so at this early day the lisE of -
voters at next Autunm's election is fixed. In
Kent county about 1,400 colored men have
been put on the assessment list, and in Sussex
county nearly au equal number have been
added. Though both bodies are unanimously
Democratic, they offered no factious opposi
tion to placing the names on the list where
residence and identity were clearly proven, but
they were much more particular in requiring
proof than they are with white men; owing
to this, several hundred in both counties
were left off. In this county (New Castle),
where we have a Republican majority in the
court, no difficulty has been experienced, and
the court will continue its sessions until the
last of .the month. It is no new thing to have
colored men assessed, the law having always
required it ; but as they heretofore acquired no
privilege by it, except that of "taxation with
out representation," of course they showed no
eagerness to get their names on the list. Now
they are all eagerness. The last dodge of the
Democrats bere has been to induce a half
simple negro barber to offer hiniself as a can
didate for sheriff, but the masses of the colored
people laugh at so transparent a trick. The
colored population of this State is by no means
so ignorant as the same class elsewhere, and
the Democrats have no hope of making
any impression on them; so they
have resorted to the desperate dodge of
organizing a White Men's party, in the hope
of securing the votes of enough dissatisfied •
-Republicans to .retain them in power. A dili
gent search has, however, thus far failed to
discover any large,number of the "dissatistied;"
and it may reasonably be assumed that men
who stood by the party when, in advance of
Congress, its State Convention declared for
negro suffrage, will not desert it non-, just on
the eve.of victory. Republicans feel confident
and cheerful, and there is no room to doubt
that, with the aid of over four thousand voters
whose names have been already added to the
assessment lists, a Republican Governor and
Congressman will be elected next fall, and a
Legislature which will send a Republican to
succeed the drunken Saulsbury in the 'United
States Senate.

APRIL DIACIAMINES.
The Atlantic presents for ; April a nmnber of
level ratlMr than salient excellence, the most
imikortant. contribution being perhaps Mr.
Whittier's poem, it My. Triumph." In Prose;
hoWever, Mr.:Parton has a very interesting
paper on 4 ilteviving Virginia," freak which we
take the following suggestion 'as of interest to
Pennsylvanians:
Virginia Coal.
When a man buds a piece of something
black lying about his farm, lie is in danger of
being seized with a mania that causes him to
regard his farm as the centre of the finest coal
deposit in the world. The Kanawha really ap-,
pears to merit that description; for it not only
contains more coal than the Monongahela, but
it furnishes some exceedingly valuable kinds
which the Monongahela does not. The cannel
or candle coal (so called because it will give a
steady, candle-like flame) is brought round by
sea to the Atlantic cities, where it is sold at
fifteen and twenty dollars a ton. It costs at
the Kanawha mines two dollars. a ton. When
the Chesapeake and Ohio road is opened it
can be sold in New York for eleven dollars,
and we can all have a blazing lamp of
it in our grates, and do without the
three hundred thousand tons of similar, coal
now brought from Englatid and' Nova 'Scotia.
Onr gas can' be cheaper, and 1 Our workers in
Iron will have a new and apparently inex
haustible source of coal tnipply: ', The splint
coal of the Kanawha hag a particular value for
the smelters of iron, sintie It Is free from
sulphur. Of this kind of coal the quantity is
very great ;fifty thousand tons of coal to the
acre, in a belt of country ten miles wide."
The country must have this coal. The river
cities of the west want a source of supply less
Precarious than that of the Monongahela, com
munication with which is sometimes suspended
by ice or by drouth when the need of coal is
most pressing. The Atlantic cities want it,
that one of the necessaries of life may be
cheaper, and that one of the elements of power
may be surer.
An English governess, for many years en
gaged in the royal family of Siam, obliges us
with some queer, outlandish pictures 'of life in
that semi-barbarous court. We extract two,
the first of which has a local color much re-
semhling that of Gerene's famous picture,
4 clliception des Ambassadeurs Siaruois" :
A,•• Piresentation to Chowff•iiongkut,
Bing of Slain, in DWG.
I started after sunset on a pleasant day in
April, 1862, on the threshold of the outer
court of the Grand Palace, accompanied by
my own brave little boy, and " escorted by a
compatriot. . .
A Egiti-,—ewt,T•;lng tl=igL
cious Hall of Audience displayed a throng of
noblemen in waiting. None turned a glance,
or seemingly a thought, on us, and, my child
being tired and hungry, 1 urged Captain B--
to present us without delay. At once we
mounted the 'marble steps, and entered the
brilliant hall unannounced. Banged on the
carpet were many prostrate, mute, and motion
less forms, over whose heads to • step was a
temptation as drolly natural as it was danger
ous. His Majesty spied us quickly, and ad
vanced abruptly, petulantly screaming, " Who?
who? who
Captain B (who, by the by, is a titled
nobleman of Siam) introduced me as the Eng
lish governess, engaged for the royal family.
The king shook hands with us, and immedi
ately proceeded to march up and down in
quick step, putting one foot before the other
with mathematical precision, as if under drill.
"Forewarned, forearmed," my friend whis
pered that I should prepare myself for a sharp
cross-questioning as to my age, my husband,
children, and other strictly personal concerns.
Suddenly his Majesty, baying cogitated suffi
ciently in his peculiar manner, with one long
final stride baited in front of us, and, pointing
straight at me with his forefinger, asked, " How
old shall you be 2"
Scarcely able to repress a smile at a proceed
ing so absurd, and with my sex's distaste for
so serious a question, I demurely replied, " One
hundred and fifty years old."
Had I made myself much younger, he might
have ridiculed or assailed ; but now he
stood surprised and embarrassed for a. few
moments, then resumed his quick march, and
at last, beginning to perceive the jest, coughed,
laughed, coughed again, and then in a high,
sharp key, asked, "In what year were you
horned 2"
Instantly I "struck" a mental balance,
and answeted, as gravely as I" &add, "In
1788." M
At this point the expression . of his ajestfs
face was indescribably comical. C,aptain
B— slipped behind a 'pillar to laugh, but the
king only coughed, with a significant emphasis
that startled me, and addressed a few words to
his prostrate courtiers, who smiled at the
carpet,—all except the' prime minister, who
turned to look at me. But his Majesty was
not to be baffled so : again he marched with
vigor, and then returned to the attack with
Ilan.
"How many years shall you be married ?"
" For several years, your Majesty."
Ile fell into a brown study ; then suddenly
rushed at me, and demanded triumphantly :
" Ha! How many grandchildren shallitoa
now have-? Ha! ha! How many ? How
many? Ha! ha! ha!"
A Protest of Citowfs-Ifongknt, King of
Siam.
Never were simplicity with shrewdness, and
unconscious humor with pathos, and candor
with irony, add political economy with the
sense of an awful bore, mote quaintly blended
than in. the following extraordinary hint,
written and printed by his.. Majesty, and freely
distributed for the snubbing of visionary or
speculative adventurers:
" NnTicE.
"When the general rumor was and is
spread out from Siam, circulated among the
foreigners to Siam, chiefly; Europeans, Chinese,
&c.,
in three points
44 1. That Siam is under quite absolute
monarchy. Whatever her Supreme Sovereign
commanded, allowed, &c., all cannot be re
sisted by any one of his Subjects.
"2. The Treasury of the Sovereign of Siam,
was full for money,lilike a mountlan of gold
and silver ; Her Sovereign most wealthy.
"3. The present reigning Monarch of Siam
is shallow-minded and admirer of almost
everything of curiosity, and most admirer of
European usages, customs, sciences, arts and
literature, it c., without limit. He is fond of
flattering term and ambitious of honor, so that
there are now many opportunities add opera
tions to be embraced for drawing,great money .
from Royal Treasury of Siam, &c.
"The most many foreigners being under be
lief of such general rumor, were endeavoring
to draw money from him in various operations,
as alluring him with valuable curiosities and
expectations of interest, and flattering him, to
be glad of them, and deceiving him in various
wa3s ; almost on every opportunity of Steamer
Coming to Siam, various foreigners partly
known to him and, acquainted with him, and
generally unknown to him, boldly wrote to
him in such the term of various application
and treatment, so that he can conclude that
the chief object of all letters written to him is
generally to draw money from him, even un
reasonable. Several instances and testimonies
Can be shown for being example on this sub
ject—the foreigners letters addressed to him
come, by every one steamer of Siam, and of
foreign steamers visiting Siam; ten and. twelve
at least and forty at highest number, urging
him in various ways; so he concluded that for
eigners must consider him only as a mad king
of a wild land
"Fie now states that he cannot be so mad
more, as he Rotor's and observes the con
sideration of the foreigners towards him. Also

he is now unhappy and must solicit his 'friends
in correspondence and ethers who please to

' "ROYAL RICESIDENCR GRAND RALACT;
BANGKOK 2nd July 1867."
Mr. Trowbridge's " Through the Woods to
Lake Superior " has now got bi3yond civilize
gen and railroads. A lake scene in the neighbor
hood of Snake River is sketebed by him with
excellent chiaroscuro and effect.
A Pictiire of Snake River Scenery.
Our tents are'pitched on the stumpy shore.
A mist is risingfrom the lake. Camp-fires are
early kindled, making ruddy halos in the foggy
dark, and lighting us , to bed. A bundle' of
straw and a blanket--what more does man re
quire ? With the ground , beneathowid the slop

There's no danger of robbers under one's bed.
Mosquitoes swarm, covering the lake shore with
their fine, formidable hum", but : against. their
encroachments smudge-fires, witbout the tents
and cigar-smoke within are , found effectual;
then the increasing chill of the night protects
us. There is much talk • about the fires '
•
and presently, in a neighboring teat,
resounds a lusty snore, beard through
out the camp. Sweeter sounds rise on the
foggy, firelit shore,when our colored attendants
transform themselves into a band of musicians,
and they who catered to the palate eater more
delightfully to the ear, striking up pleasant
tunes, to which the strangeness of the scene
lends enchantment. Then we three in our
tent, lying, looking up at the flashes of firelight
flickering in, recite a psalm or two, and talk of
those sweet and solemn things which are
eternally near, and which seem now the only
real presences, looking serenely down and
making this, our night encampment, and the
wilderness itself,no more to us than the scenery
and incident of a dream.
Mr. Sidney Andrews studies the Chinese
character in a paper on "The Gods of Wo
Leo," from which we are tempted to make
several extracts:
Change of Burial Customs with the
Chinese.
In the earlier days of the imintgratton, pro
vision for final burial at home was made by
everybody ; bid a change of doctrine is taking
place, and now one finds a considerable num
ber of perons who are content to have their
bodies and those of tLeir relatives rest in Ame
rica forever. The work of removal will go on
for years, but the belief in its religious neces
sity is likely to disappear when our laws and
customs permit the Chinaman to establish his
iermatient home under the stars and stripes.
The Chinese and Opium.
There are smoking-dens just as there are
gambling-dens and barbers' shops, though my
efforts, to get into one were not successful. The
Chinese of San Francisco pay duty on near
thirty thousand pounds of the drug yearly, and
probably manage to smuggle in half as much
more without paying the duty. The shrewd
ness of the custom-house officials is taxed to
the utmost to detect the tricks of smugglers,
and some of those that have been exposed
showed a wonderful knack for disguising the
precious commodity. Thus in one case a box
of common medicinal roots proved to be
worth thousands of dollars;
it was
opium, drawn or moulded into roots or
fibres, then dried and colored and scented. I
asked a young man who did me many services if
he bad ever smoked opium ; he resented the
inquiry as a well-bred American lad would re
sent the question whether he was in the habit
of getting drunk. Be and many other China
men told me that opium-smoking was dis
reputable; that it was not pleasing to the gotta;
and that habitual or intemperate smokers are
not admitted. into the best circles of their
people. liumberePJ of leading merchants
seemed anxicrus to' impress this fact upon my
attention, that the custom doe's not, prevail
among the refined classes, but is deplored and
condemned as strongly by them as by Anieri
cans.•
Instruction.
This is something fine to say of a nation,
every man cau read and write his own lan
guage. And of the Chinese on our Western
shore this can almost be said. Yet they are,
heathens and we are Christians! It will not
hurt us to recall this fact, when we feel over
much inclined to boast of our superior civili
zation. The Chinese have nearly made educa
tion universal :we have not. " Learn, learn,—
learn all you can," said Lee San, in a little
speech to some : Sunday-school children;
"knowledge and virtue go together, and no
people can have too much of either." These
are the words of one who appreciates the day
and generation in which he lives; and they
speak the sentiment of his people, too. The
Chinese children of San Francisco are all in
structed in private schools: education is re
garded as a solemn religious obligation, for
"the gods will not smile upon a- people-that
neglects its children." Have we anything of
doctrine higher than that ?
Chinese View or Christianity.
It is idle to fancy that the immigration from
China is to result in the immediate conversion
of many. The present generation will stick to
its own faith, and so'will the greater part of
the next generation. The Chinese religion
was old long ere Christ came, and we have
not yet done much to commend his Gospel to
this serious, reflective, high-spirited people.
They judge us, and have a right to judge us, by
what their experience on the Pacific has taught
them; and it will take many years or.patient
work to disabuse them of the ihapressions they
have formed in their struggle there. It will be
an advantage if we fully comprehend this be
fore they plant their feet on these Eastern
shores.

But this strange people will bring us some
thing, toe, that is very good and wholesome.
They are tender to the aged and infirm; they

and thoughtfulness; and from their sentiment

Trial et Prince Bonaparte.
Touits, March 22.—The High Court of Jus
tice opened its session at 11 A. M. to-day.
Slight Char have been made in the arrange
ments of e courtroom, and the Judges now
sit at the upper end of the hall, with the Pro
=rear General and his assistants on the right;
clerks and officers of the Court to the centre,
and the jury, prisoner, counsel and reporters on
the left. The rest oetheroom is devoted to
spectators, bat this since is very limited. The
first witness examined to-day was Milner°, who
came into the court-room between two °lacers:
He gave his , evidence with firmness, but made
no attempt at display. He said the, letter sent
by Prince Bonaparte to Rochefort was not a
provocation, but an insult, and being asked
why he wore arms replied that he lived in a
district outside of the city, and going home late
at night he was obliged to carry arms for self
protection. He incidentally blamed the gov
ernment for delay in the arrest of the Prince
after the shooting, whereupon be was
reprimanded by the President of the Court.
The Prince here rose, and in an excited man
ner declared that lllilliere and Groussett had
both sworn that they would yet shoot him.
This the witness positively denied, and the au
dience seemed inclined to hiss the Prince. The
Procureur-General insisted that, the witness be
removed to prison, and the lawyers for the
prosecution demanded that he should remain
and give the remainder of his testimony. The
Court decided that the witness should remain,
and be concluded his testimony. Several of
the servants of the accused were placed on the
stand, and some of his personal friends were
examined, but the latter damaged the defence
by displaying too much zeal. Paul Cassagnac
was examined. He was insulting in his man
ner toward the lawyers for the prosecution.
Larocca, who testified in favor of the accused,
was at one point called to order by the Court
bemuse he showed too touch warmth.
AU of the witnesses for the defence testified
that they noticed a contusion of the Prince's
cheek after the affray, but the physician who
was called in at the time to examine the Prince's
face was placed upon the stand, and swore pesi
tively that he saw no signs of any contusion.
He was confrented by other witnesses, but re
peated his statement. The audience was
much excited by the contradiction. De Fenio
attempted to prove that the Prince did not
shoot until Fonvielle bad drawn a pistol, and
also that a plotlutd been made against the life
of the Prince before the affair of the Rue
d'Auteuil, but the evidence failed to_sustain
the allegation. It is, expected that Rochefort •
will be examined to-morrow.

HOW WE MEAT DOUAI, =MARA,
The Appeal of the Cher*hoes.
The story of the Cherokee Nation, freshly
recalled to memory by • the appearance at
Washington of a delegation of its principal
gto
chiefs, DI but a single painful chapter of the
long record, of the white tuan's perfidy, toward
the Indian tribes. In 1836 this tribe of
.40,000
souls owned the magnificent country known as
" Cherokee Georgia," extending from the Ten
nessee t4;i the .ilombigbee river,. and worth
then fully $60,000,000. But the Georgiaus from
I the south and the East Tennesseans moving
westward coveted those rif:h poaseksions, anu
in response to their unjust demands, and in
settlement of the war they bad provoked, the
United States Government seized these lauds,
gave them Up to white settlers, and with an
army,under command of Grn. Winfield Scott,
forcibly removed the tribe, many of them in
chains, beyond the Mississippi to a tract of
land worth, at the Government's own valua
tion of 17 cents an acre, hum than 82,500,000.
But, with rare generosity, the Government,
by treaty, on Dec. 31, 1838, issued a patent for
,this tract, deeding it, "together• with all the
rights,privilegea and appurtenances thereto
belonging, to the said Cherokee Haden for
ever.' That tract has been known for many
years as the Indian Territory.
Thie Cherokee Nation—the most civilized
of all the Indian tribes of America—has in
creased and grown strong on this land; it has
tilled with care and made it highly productive ;
it has supplied it with workshops, tehool
houses, churches, ancreourt-houses,' and it is
rich enough to excite the covetous; and it
seems that the benignant Government of the
United. States is the first to break the divine
rule. Twice already it has violated
its own treaty, and without asking
leave, without tendering pay, it has
on two occasions removed other tribes
to the lands of the Cherokees, in order that
its railroads may find routes. There is now a
demand for a railroad directly through the
Cherokee Nation, and, preliminary to its con
struction, it is proposed to remove the tribe to
barren pastures still further west, or take pos
session of their land along the route, of
course without their consent, and without of
fering to pay, as in times past. Nothing could
be worse than such a proposition, and we can
not believe that Congress will seriously con
template it. But the diflicultyds that Congress
does not study the matter at all, and may
commit this injustice through sheer ignorance
and indolence. The delegation now protest
ing against such action is mot on all sides by
the reply which has dampened the hopes of
thousands of honest petitioners—" I know
nothing of all this ; it was before I came to
Congress." It is a phrase with, which COD
gressmen constantly stultify themselves,
and show their unfitness to be , in their
places. The claims of thia_people should
not be thus ignored. We have ,no
more right to violate this treaty than to repu
diate the National debt; the ignominy of re
pudiation would not be greater than that Of
such violation. These people danot object to
the building of a railroad through their coun
try; they have authorized two lines, and are
anxious to secure the civilized influence of
Such routes of travel and traffic, but not at the
sacrifice of all their rights and property.
These rights me aro bound to respect; and it
will be a shame if tbe just as well as humane
Indian policy of the . Executive is violated by '
such an act of gross injustice on the part of
the legislative power as the seizure of their
lands or the removal of the Cherokees from ,
their present possessions.— Tribune.
