WAsHIsoroH, February II, 1884,
Ib the Editor of Ms Republic:


sR: discover that the reply which made to
the question propoundsd to me in the House Of
Representatives the Sd instant. by the gentleman
from Florida, (Mr. CABnLL,) has been construed
to mean that would not vote fvr Wing for Pro-
sidcnt who placed himself upon the Georgia plat
form in preference to Democrat who did not do
SO. II said any thing capable Of such construc-
tion did great injustice to myself; for would not
vote for any man Who was not in favor Of that
platform, and pledged TO carry il out in good faith
and maintain the fnality OF the Compromise, and
the settlement Of the vexed question Of slavery.
From the manner in which the question Was pro-
pounded. / could not answer in the affirmative d.
rsctly without rcpudiating The resolutions of the
Baltimore Convsntion Of lS4s vague and un.
meaning. This could not do, they met my
appreciation at that time. I said could not give
my vote for Wing who was, in substance, on the
Compromise. These words, in substance, com
pose ambiguous term. and admit of various
constructions; and to this objected, and only n-
tended 70 say, that he must, under the circum-
stances mentioned, put bimsclf, in substance and
in fact, upon that platform, and pledge himself to
carry it out in good faith; and for such Wing,
and against a Democrat who did not nssulno the
same position before the country, would vote
and not only vote, but every effort in my
power to secure his election.
And this, think, 10 clearly the meaning OF what
then said, but, M have since learned in CONVEX
sation that IL was not so construed, by Mt
lsnst, desire to remove That Impression; for could
not find it in my heart TO retain tho seat have the
honor to hold in the House moment longer tina
use every effort in my power 10 sustain the posi-
ton Of the Union party Of Georgia.
And again, sir, deere TO cay thot did not
deutsnd the gentleman from Florida in specifying
his particular preference for the Presidency. UNI
dorstood him to say he preferred for that office
General Scott to all others; but, upon reading his
remarks, find his preference was for Mr.. Fillmore.
md against whose Administration have not a
word to say upon the Compromise question. lie
has done wall. and deserves the Appreciation Of the
| country; and my rcmvrks, which appear to apply
to him. were intended TO apply to General Scott,
who may he said 10 DO in subsbsf,cc on the Compro-
mise not, just may suit the tinlos, and which
dfow forth my remarks. As may not have

NOTE rnoM rAs purcn MINISTER.

Noie Verbale 1T is a matter Of public tl0to-
riety that foreign vessels are excluded from
Japan by the governments of that Empire. II
was, nevertheless, determined in l842 that, il
such vessels should be cast upon the shores Of
Japan, by storms, or come there in want OF pro-
visions, with view of asking for such commodl-
ties, water or wood for fuel, those articles
should be granted them on request.
For fear, however, lest this determination
prompted al il has been by feelings OF humanity
should give rise to any false inter- etatlon, the
government of Japan has solicited hat OF The
Netherlands to inform the other powers that the
above. mentioned resolution does not infringe
upon or otherwise imply, any modification what
ever of the system of separation and exclusion
which was adopted more than two centuries ago
by the Japanese government, and since the estab
lishment of which the prohibition against allow
ing any foreign vessel to explore the Japanes
coasts, has been cOnstantlyin force.
The Dutch government has made no difficulty
of complying with this request, especially as the
government of Japan has no other means Of
making communication Of this ma ure; and IN
pursuance of instructions from the cabinet OF the
Hague, the Legation of the Netherlands has the
honor to communicate the above mentioned
facts to the Hon. Secretary OF State CT The
United States, for the information OF his govern
ment.

organising for it. And we are afraid the expert

the d,letie of the Compromise with all the varia-
tons adapted to the ear of the two parties and
sections. They were to avoid discOrd. But
alas just when their twnships began the tune,
the Wing party went to pieces. Chang was
COMPOUNDED and Eng was dumb Chang did
hint, in the gentlcst notes, the day after the eau
Gus rupture, that there was some discrepancy
in the Wing pipes, but the rebuke was hardly
heard, was not half so loud as he has often bel
lowed at Democratic discord-partcularly about
the printing question. Eng still remained 81

stead of peaceful compromise coalition airs, goes
for martial musc-for the fife and drum. There

PERPETUAL LiGHT.-A most curious
and interesting discovery has been
made at Laugres, France, which will
cause scientific inquiry as to the mater
ial and properties of the perpctually
burning lamps, said to have been in use
among the ancients. Workmen wero
recently excavating for foundation for
new building in debris, evidently
remains OF GalIo-Roman erection, when
they came to the roof of an undergrown
sort OF cave, which time had rendered
almost Of metallic hardness. An open
ing. however, was effected, when one
OF the workmcn instantly exclaimed that
there was light at the bottom Of the
cavern. The parties present entered,
when they found bronzed sepulchral
lamp of remarkable workmanship, sus-
pended from the roof by chains Of the
same metal. II was entirely filled with
a combustible substance, which did not
appear to have diminished, although
the probability is the combustion has
been going on for ages. This discovery
will throw some light on question
which has caused 70 many disputes
among learned antiquaries although il
is stated that one discovered at Viterbo,
in 1850, from which, however, no fresh
information was afforded on the subject.

CAUTION TO. LETTER WRiTrRs. The
Supreme Court OF New Hampshire has
given a judicial exposition Of the law on
the subject Of love-lesters, by instructing
. jury, in recent case, that where a
written correspondence is kept up be-
tween an unmarried young lady Of
suitable age, who is not his relative, the
most common and natural inference is,
that il is upon matrimonial subJccts.-
Young marriagtablo ladies', at least
prudent ones, do not allow themselves
TO be engaged IN correspondence with
unmarried men, unless they suppose a
marriage contract exists between them.
And unmarried men do not desire that
such q correspondence should be car
ried on whore an engagement does not
exist, unless il be from some improper
motives, or with the hope and expecta-
ton Of an ultimate engagement. IL
these instructions are to be taken MS law
in other States, all sentimentalitics, not
looking TO matrimonial conclusions, he
tween unmarried persons Of opposite
ssxcs, will have to nssume an oral char
ter.
