Dinner to Col, Richard M. Hoe.

The Messrs. Beach's complimentary
dinner to Col. Richard M. Hoe, the dis
tinguished inventor of the cylinder Print
ing Press, came off last evening at the
Astor House. It was given on the oc-
casion of the erection of one of these
presses, of larger size than any hereto
fore made. in the vaults Of the San Of
fee. .. ..
Its operation was exhibited to the
guests previous to their assembling at the
Astor House. 1t is capable of making
20, 900 impressions in an hour.
By enlarging the size Of the press and
increasing the number of cylinders, the
capacity Of Mr.. Hoes grand invention
may be still further increased. In sue
cessfully enlarging and celebrating his
original idea, he has far surpassed the
efforts of all former inventors in the print
ing art, and, more than any other man,
assisted the Press in multiplying itself as
fast as the growing age requires.
The dinner was got up in sHmptuous
style in the large dining saloon Of the
Aston. The tables were supplied with
all the delicacies of the season. Over
the Presidents table was suspended a
shield bearing the motto: Printing. the
Art preservative of the Arts and at the
foot Of the hall was revolving transpa.
rency, representing the different improve
ments in the printing press, from the
first rough machine made in the infancy
of the Art, to Hoes last. The company
sat down about o'clock. Mr.. Moses
s. Beach took the Presidents chair, with
Col. Hoe on his right hand. The Vice

Reilly. Of telegraphic memory; Gen.

After the cloth was removed, the
Chairman read the regular toasts. accom-
panied with appropriate music from the
band. The remainder Of the evening
passed off in a most animated manner.
Col. Hoe feelingly replied to the toast
complimenting him, and speeches were
made by Major Noah, G. P. r. James,
Esq, Horace Greeley, H. O. Reilly, Park
Benjamin, Gen. Chandler, Rev. Messrs.
J. p. Thompson, H. w. Beecher, and E.

served by Mr.. Hoe. end its remembrance
cannot fail to be most gratifying to him.

AMERICAN TEA.--The tea grown here,
turns out far more highly and delicious
favored than that imported. being in all
respects like that drank by the wealthy
in China, the grand difference between
the American grown and the imported.
being in the loss Of flavor occasioned by
the sea voyage. Latitude "a north, in
Alabama, Georgia, and North Carolina,
proves better suited for the cultivation
Of the plant than any other region. Dr..
Smith OF South Carolina. who originated
the experiment, is already realizing hand

which are eagerly bought up at any price
by Southern Agriculturists.
There are persons yet living. who can
recollect when the Cotton plant was only
seen in flower pots in which it was cults
waited on account Of its lovely blossom ;
one of the prettiest flowers in the calendar
of Horticulture. Observing men in the
South who know the history Of the cot
ton-raising business of this country. are
generally Of opinion that tea growing is
about TO become quite as important to US,
in even less time than it has taken US to
become the great cotton producing coun-
try of the world. The character Of soil
and climate adapted to the growth Of the
tea plant, are mot such as to make it in
terfere at all with the production of COT
ton-tea lands and cotton lands-those
which produce these plants best. being
as different in all their attributes as they

"The obedience which the Scriptures
command Us to render to our rulers is not
unlimited; there are cases in which dis
obedience is duty. This is evident,
first. from the very nature of the case.
The command to obey magistrates, is,
from its nature, command to obey them
as magistrates in the exercise Of their
rightful authority. They are not to be
obeyed Is priests or as parents, but as
civil rulers. No one doubts that the
precept. "Children obey your parents in
all things" is command to obey them
in the exercise of their rightful parental
authority. and imposes no obligation to
implicit and passive obedience. A pa
rent who should claim the power Of q
novereign over his children. would have
SO right to their obedience. The case is
still palmer with regard to the command,
Wives submit to your own husbands "
Secondly, from the fact that the came in.
spired men who enioin in such general
terms, obedience to rulers. themselves
uniformly end openly disobeyed them
whenever their commands were inconsist
ent with other, and higher Obligations
"We ought to obey God rather thar
man." was the principle which the early
Christians avowed, and ON which they
acted. They disobeyed the Jewish anC
Heather authorities. whenever they re
quired them to do any thing contrary Z
the will Of God. There are cases there
fore in which disobedience is a duty
How far the rightful authority Of rulers
extends, thu precise point at which che
obligation to obedience ceases, must otter
be a difficult question, and each case
must be decided OH its merits. The same
difficulty exists in fixing the limits of the
authority Of parents over their children,
husbands over their wives, masters over
their servants. This. however, is rather
theoretical than a practical difficulty
Thegeneral principles ON which the ques
ton in regard to any given case is to b

institutions and laws OF the land, or from

his riches for such noble ends. There is
no envy of such a man all men honor

who leaves no record Of his usefulness in

To the vile dust from whence he sprung.
Unwept, unhOnOred and unsung.
I trust, therefore, that while the trun-

THE MASSACHUSETTS, SENATOR.-We
take the following from coalition paper, (Ihe
Worcester Spy,) whose Editor. J. Milton Earle, is
a member of the House. which speaks "by
authority" at this crisis in Bay State affairs:
THE FOURTEENTH BALLoT-Yesterday the
fourteenth ballot for Senator had in the House
of Representatives. 1t was apparent, soon after
the House met that there could be no choice. All
the W hgs but two were present, while nine free
Sellers and Democrats were absent, chiefly on
account Of sickness. The Wing ranks, at no for
mer time, had been so full, aud they gave lo9
votes for Winthrop-the member from Plympton,
whose seat is contested, voting for him. Sumner
vote was reduced by the absences to 1873, aud the
scattering votes were 81, being as high as on any
former ballot-tWo who had before generally
given blank votes, now voting with the scatter.
ing.
From this, it will be seen that the more unfa.
vorable state OF the vote, was owing TO ortultous
circumstances, and not to change of the votes OF
any of those who originally voted for Sumner
After one ballot, the subject was postponed
fortnight Another strong effort will then be made
10 effect an election. Should it fail it will then be
time for Free Sellers to consider what course it is
their duty, under the circumstances, TO take;

THE PERTH AMBoY AFFAIR.-We have
received another letter from Perth Amboy, rela'
tive to the Incest and Murder Case" Our cor
respondent, a reliable person, states that the &C
count of the Coroner's inquest and verdict, as
given in The Tribune, was correct; but that
post.mortem examination of the body relieves the
case of its horrid and unnatural character. The
statement is aE follows On Tuesday, Coroner's
Jury, composed of twenty.three freeholders and
one physician, returned verdict that the de.
ceased, Mary Johnson, came to her death from
abortion 40, caused by kicks and blows given by
James johnson. her grandfather, and Hezekiah
Johnson, her uncle" On the following day the
parties were committed to Jail in New B runswick.
TO await their trial. The burial of the body was
however, postponed, and post mortem examina-
ton made from which it was ascertained that the
girl died of pertonitis, or enteritis She was not
in a pregnant state and no marks of violence
were found upon her person. The case is the
more remarkable, as there was practising ply
stefan on the Coroner's Jury. For the sake Of
human nature, we trust that our correspondents
account is entirely correct.

The Atlantic Seen !

Capt. Williams of the chip Seine, from
Havre, reports that, on the Cd of Jan. in
lat. 81 90, Ion. Is 10, large Steamship
passed about miles off, heading to the
westward and going at the rate of II knots,
good, per hour. No signals were ex-
changed, and the Steamer did not even send
up her ensign. The captain of the Seine
viewed her through the spy-glass, and
she not only had the appearance of a
large Steamer, but she had no bowspris,
and in every respect, as nearly as could be
discerned the answered for a steamer of
the Collins Line. The wind at the time
was from the northward and light. Soon
afterward, however, it veered to the NE,
and blew pretty fresh. On the third or
fourth day after, the Seine experienced a
violent gale from the north and west.
