Tenure df Mee.
•
The substitute for the House bill repeal
ing the Tenure-of Office act, reported by
Mr.. Edmunds in the Senate, from the
Committee on Retrenchment, provides
for amending said act so as to allow the
President to remove members of his Cab
inet during a recess of the Senate, and to
suspend any other civil officer, except
judges of the *United. States Courts, when
ever, during a recess of the Smite, in his
opinion the public good shall require it,
and to designate some suitable person to
perform temporarily the duties of such
office until the next meeting of the Sen
ate, and until the matter shall be acted
upon by the Senate; and in case of such
suspension it shall be the duty of the: Pres
ident, within twenty days after the first
day of such meeting of the Senate to re
port to the Senatesuch suspension, with
the names of the persons so designated to
perform the duties of such office; and if
the Senate shall concur in such suspen
sion and endorse and consent to the re
moval of such officers, they* shall so cer
tify it to the' President, who may .there
upon remove such officers,* and by and
- with thendvice and consent of the Sen
ate aPpoint another person to such office.
In case of. non-concurrence the suspend
ed officer is tube reinstated, but the ad
interim appointee shall-receive the emol
uments of the office for the time during
which he performed its duties. The Pres
ident is at liberty to revoke any suspen
sion before reporting it to the Senate, and
reinstate the suspended officer.
Section 3 of, the substitute einbodies the
, bill recent' y introduced by Mr. Edmunds
to prohibit the holding of more than one
civil,or 'military office b.' one person at
the same time, which is mpdified by the
proviso of a fourth section declaring
"that nothing in * the foregoing section
shall be construed to prevent such 'desig
nations 'or appointments of officers to
perform temporarily the duties of other
officers, as are or may be authorized by
law, nor to prevent such appointments,
&c., as are designed by law to be made
from the army or navy."
Section 5 provides that the penalties
provided in the act to which this is an
amendment shall apply to violations 'of
this act. _ _
The St. Domingo Protectorate.
The late effort at the -"recognition of a
protectorate over Dominica and Hayti
was very :amusing behind 'the scenes,
Baezy President of Dominica, finding
himself "hard up" and likely to be kicked
out if he Could - not "raise the wind,"
makes a little bargain with the Samana
Bay Company, offering to take $200, 00 0
gold and $1,000,000 of their bonds at
eighty per cent. on the dollar'for the fee
simple of the , great bay. The company
were to have the right -to sell the whole
or a part of their purchase to the United
States for a naval - station. After making
this offer another happy idea struck senor
Baez to the effect that if Dominica could
be brought under the protection of the
State and Stripes he might hold his posi
tion and • save Samina Bay also.t He
wrote to' our. Secretary of State, stating
his desire for a protectorate, and tickled
the Samana Bay Company with the idea
that it was also for their interest to have
Uncle Sam's 34 moral power" on hand.
The company fell into the trap and urged
the measure. Another little trouble
arose. If Dominic* alone reached a pro
tectorate, the Dominicans opposing his
government would make 'it a cause for
upsetting Baez immediately. To avoid
- this Baez said to lir. Seward, "Please
include Hayti in the recognition. Then
when my subjects accuse me of seeking a
protectorate can say that it's all the
work of those niggers over the way. so,
• Hayti was included.
Mr. Seward passed the matter over to'
Mr. Banks, who .unfortunately, was
, placed in such a position that he could
not tell about it. The Samana Bay Com
. pimp urged• the measure to the Repre
sentatives as something for their particu
lar benefit. The House could not see in
the dark, for no one anderatocid the ques
tion, and the protectorate scheme failed.
It could have passed easily had it been
well. managed. The little game of Baez
- - was an amusing piece of Spanish diplo
macy, but failing, it thrOws him entirely
into the hands of the cempany through
whose stupidity he tried to carry it to a
success.
The New Zealand massacres,
The circumstances `of this horrible ca
lamity are , ,deseribed as follows: A party
of natives of the-Hanilau tribe who had
escaped from the_ Chatham Islands, a
penal settlement,- landed oa the -cast
coast of New Zealand, and on November
10th, 1805, suddenly attacked the settle
ment at Matawhero, near Turanganui, in
Poverty Bay, the place where the great
navigator, Captain Cook, firstlanded in
that island. Some few of tbo settlers
managed to esdape from the ensuing mas
sacre to Turanganui, from whence they
went in two small
,coasting craft, which
happened to pass the bay at the time,
to Napier and Auckland. Fifty-three
persons-1n all werei butchered and
mangled in cold blood. Every house
in the settlement was destroyed, the
crops, stock, and everything were
-burned up, and one of the most prosper
ous settlement 9 on the east coast of New
Zealand has been blotted out of the map.
The unfortunate white persons, men,
women and children, were murdered with
the most aggravated barbarity, their heads 1
being beateato pieces and their bodies
stabbed repeatedly • with bayonets. The
escaped Chatham Island prisoners were
joined by other disancted natives till
their force amounted to 700 men, tinder
the leadership of a young Maori named
Te Boot!. They are still in the same dm
triptoutd ,with the exception of having
been twice attacked and defeated by
friendly natives with a small loss, are un
molested, there being no European force
in the vicinity , to contend with them.
Tbeinvat excited feeling on the subject
prevails among the settlers, and serious
charges of incapacity are made against
'the government officers for not putting
an end to this state of affairs.
'ilnit.-oluocts.—We have heard of peo.
ple,"out of luck" and "out at elbows"
of shopkeepers "out of" the veryhien
tide article one particularly wants to pur
chase—of track shots "out of practice"
when they fail to hit a haystack; but we
never heard of human beings being "out
of" any of the — members oetheir body
until the other day, when the following
, advertisement caught our eye:. "Wanted,
a situation as nurse, where' te childtcn
are,out of arms." We fancy it must be
a mistake, and that nurse means she wants
a place where the little dears are perfectly
arrdess.—Syclney Punch.
CLIPPINGS:
A Fuer. fpr, exploding nitro-glyc e rine,
recently invented, consists of a small
tube containing " some priming; subsul
phide of copper or subbosphide of copper
is recommended. From this tube wires
pass to an electric machine. , The car
tridge or fuse, is dropped into the nitro
glycerine, which is carefully tamped. A
spaik , then sent from the electrine ma-,
chine explodes the charge immediately.
Great care has to be taken in preparinC
the fuse to have the priming composition
preserved from dampness. The electric
machine used to discharge this fuse may
be either a magneto-electric battery or a
static electric machine. An apparatus of
the latter kind recently used in experi
menting consists of an India rubber diek,
a vulcanite condenser, and a cushion.
The principal advantage it is claimed to
possess over other machines is the practi
cability, of using it in extremely damp
places, such as tunnels, where the water
is streaming down in showers-
OFIL efficient cause of carefulness in
English railway management is the very
general prosecution of companies by pas
sengers suffering from, accident. In the
year 1867 the railway companies of the
United Kingdom paid $1,736,995 in gold
as compensation for personal injury,
amounting to more than $4,750 a day.
This was the largest sum ever paid in any
one year in this way. And yet the aver
age of casualties was really lees that year
than in any foregoing statistics for 1867,
showinzone passenger in eight and a half
millions killed, while those of the five
years immediately preceding, show an
average of one killed in every seven mil
lions. This increase of compensation and
deerease of casualty do not occur in the
same year without reason; and if our
people were as prompt and energetic in
reclamation for damages after railway ac
cidents as their British cousins, we sh.ould
see a corresponding diminution of rail
road murders.
Trim sickening atmosphere of the street
cars in New York is the subject of bitter
complaint in that city. It is contended
that no car should be allowed With.cush
ioned seats; Wooden seats can be washed'
off, but cushions retaining the effluvium '
of dirty passengers must be used till they
&le worn 'Jut. In addition to this, the
more important element of fresh air is
neglected. The companies, it is asserted,
should havelhe cars built 'with air holes
at either end, which Could not be closed
at all. Oftentimes sixty or seventy pas
sengers ride miles together, packed like
sardines in a box, breathing over and
over again the foul mixtures of impuri
ties until their internal organs are in a
state of mutiny, their heads ache and
their tempers are sawed to the discomfort
of themselves arid. those they go to meet.
Some stringent regulations should be
adopted in relation to cleanliness and
fresh air.
A TdRPEDO was recently placed on the
track of a street railway, in San Francisco,
and was exploded by the passage of a car.
The vehicle was lifted up into the air and
thrown several feet from the track. On
examination, the exploded torpedo was
discovered firmly fastened to the rail of
the track. It is described as resembling
in general appearance an old-fashioned
"pinchbeck" , watch, being about two
inches in diameter, and five-eighths of an
inch in thickness. It was made of Rus
sian sheet iron, with two strong clasps of
lead, by which it was firmly fasteried •to
the rail of the track. 'Fixed in the interior
of the torpedo; and nearly reachilig its
upper surface, were three gun nipples, se
curely:soldered to the lower plate, and
armed with the ordinary percussion caps,
which were exploded Iby the car wheels
passing over them. I The machine was
filled with some powerful explosive mix
. tnre.
THE tunnel under the English Chan
nel, at Dover, it is asserted, will have to
be bored through a chalk formation, and
though the actual perforation will be easy,
yet the-pressure of tbe , sea upon the yield
ing rock will be immense. In building
the Thames tunnel, the water burst
through the roof several times, and Bru
nel, the engineer, nearly lost his life dur
ing one of these irruptions of the river.
In the event of a violent storm the dan
ger of a break would be imminent, and
the workmen, having to run several
miles to obtain a refuge,. would have but
poor opportunity to escape. The diffi
culty of ventilating such a tunnel must
prove to be very great. But, notwith
standing these serious objections, three
eminent English ,epgineers .have pro
nounced the plan to be feasible, and the
estimated cost, X 45,000,000, to be reason
able.
Cititesiik. STEEL, just introduced lato
use, is an alloy of iron and chromium.
No carbon (heretofore considered hulls
pensable in the manufacture of this
metal) enters into its composition. Ingot
chrome steel is made by melting together
the best bar iron and a little chrome ore,
the grade of the steel being fixed, it is as.
serted, with unvarying uniformity by the
proportions of the two substances used.
The melted mixture is poured into the
moulds and hardens into ingots; the in
gots are reheated and hammered or
rolled into bars, plates and sheets. The
new steel, it is asserted, posiesses in
a superior degree all the excellences of
carbon steel and some others peculiar to
itself, and-is coming into general favor
and use. The process of manufacture is
covered by 'nearly thirty patents.
Anaggit Houssevg, the celebrated
French critic, in his recent work on Fe-
male Beauty, speaks in very complimen
tary terms of the prepossessing appearance
of American ladies : "We have beauti
ful women in France, and so has every
other nation, but of one thing I am quite
Sure, that no, people can boast of more
beauties among its women than the North
Americans. Go to one of their, evening
parties, and nnless_every corner of your
heart is already occupied, you are certain
to fall in love. You will hardly meet
there a young girl but that is attractive in
the highest degree. The charms o. the
women of all other countries 'are to be
,blended in the Americaine. She stands
peerless among her sisters."

dredth birth-day last week. She had ten
brothers and sisters, one of whom reached
the age of ninetyinine years. One broth.

Saratoga, in October 1877. At the age of
twenty-four she married. Paul Pettinglll,
and has had ten children, only four of
whom now live. There was a large gath
ering of her descendants, and among the
gifts were money; an easy chair, an enor

to take the place of one which has lasted
her a generation. The old lady possesses
all her faculties in a remarkable degree—
reads five or six chapters daily In her old
family Bible, that has seen constant ser
vice for an age, its leaves being soiled,
and worn, and yellow. She says she
prays daily- for her "four living girls"
and her children to the fourth generation
by name, to far as she can remember them.
DEMOCRATIC MASSACRES IN LOIIISI -

the massacres and outrages committed
upon colored voters for Grant and Col

suasion, have published a report of facts
and figures and of the evidence by which
they are proven, with recommendations,
and have forwarded it to Congress. The
document fills 296 pages, includes reports
of 560 murders, in addition to 204 previ
ously reported; and states that the total
number committed in the State during
the past twelve months exceeds 1,000,
while the entire number killed, wounded,
robbed and outraged during the past year,
of which reports have been received, is
1,687.
