Senatorial Question.

Decidedly the ablest speech that has
been delivered in either House of the
Legislature since it convened was made
yesterday by Hon. WV. S. PAnHAM,
in the House Of Representatives, upon
the resolution to go into the election Of
United States Senator, on Friday
next, the l l inst. Mr.. Parham spoke
for three quarters Of an hour with
ability and in q strain Of eloquence,
commensurate with the importance of
the question before the House, showing
conclusively and beyond all cavil Or
doubt, that Mr.. Bcnjamin's right to
his seat in the U. s. Senate is legal
and constitutional and cannot be dis
turbcd. The Hon. member acquitted
himself in manner worthy Of his past
fame, and to the satisfaction ofhis most
ardent admirers. and many who heard
him, must have felt convinced, if they
had previously doubted the sincerity
Of Mr.. P. in any course he may have
heretofore taken upon any question;
that he was and has been, as he aptly
quoted in concluding his eloquent re.
markes, actuated by the sentiment of
the poet, Let all the ends thou aimest
at be thy country's, thy Gods and
thruth's; then if thou fallcst, thou
fallcst blessed martyr"
We hope for the good name and
fame Of Louisiana abroad as we'll as
at home that the Legislature will not
go into the election, as proposed.

some hours. Some young men in a
drug store, at about 10 o'clock, the
night previous, heard a noise as of
some one trying or shaking a cellar

which the causnality occurred. The
cellar way is open about FIVE feet at
the top, extending towards the street,

about eighty eight years Of age, a law
yer of fine talents, and man of excel

PRICES IN FLoRENCE.-A cores
pendent Of the Boston Traveller gives
the following account Of the cost of
living in Florence
"One word more as to prices. l
have already written you of the cost of
living in a palace. Since then have
learned that fine palace, as large as
the fremont House, with large gar
den. stables, &C., can be bought for
$4,000! The Riccardi, one Of the
finest private palaces in Europe, sold
for only $4,000. A beautiful villa
and estate, under a high state Of cult
walton, can be had for $4,000 a
good one, with fifty or more acres, for
$4,000, and farms in proportion. A
friend Of mine has this year from his
estate, which is cultivated on halves,
1900 barrels Of wine, besides wool,
olives, silk, cattle, cheese, milk, butter
and poultry. The Tuscan Govern
ment are very liberal to foreigners !;
allowing them to bold land in fee sim
pie, without restrictions of any kind,
and their heirs abroad to inherit from
them. But if their heirs are not blood
relatives, there is duty of about FIVE
per cent. on the conveyance of pro-
perty to them. I know of but one
other Government as liberal. and that
is that Of the Sandwich Islands.

A TOUCHING SroRy.-The Boston
Post, of the 25th ult., in the following
brief paragraph, tells touching story:
An industrious Irishman in this CITY
who had accumulated a little property.
sent home for bis wife and six children,
and paid their passage out in the ship
Moses Wheeler, which arrived here
last week, after a very long and stormy
passage. The poor man, who had
been watching with great anxiety for
the ship. Immediately boarded the
vessel upon her arrival. and found that
his wife and chrildren had all died,
and instead Of welcoming his loved
ones to the home he had provided for
them. found himself alone IN the
world.

For several years past, our foreign
representatives, have seemed to grad
ually loose sight Of the fact that they
arc AMERICANS, and stand as the re-
representatives. of American character
and sentiment to ape, court and fawn
around the government officials, to
which they arc sent, as if to curry ia
vor with them, by a slavish imitation
Of courtly phrases, and formularies,
instead Of retaining and exhibiting
the manner Of free and Independent
men, the equals Of any men, o, class
on the globe. Our ministers to Eng
land, Mr.. Lawrence and his successor
Mr. Ingersoll, both seem determined
to outgo if possible in fulsone Aattery
and maukish compliments to those to
whom they have been sent, the most
slavish carpet knight that ever bowed
before Her Majesty or mingled with
mobiles and rich at court. We hope
that this class Of our foreign ambassa-
dor will not be permitted to extend !;
for if any man can so far forget the
simplicity Of the government of which
he is the representative, as to deal
in language to foreigners like that used
BY Mr. Ingersoll at late dinner at
London, he is no longer a fit person to
care for the interests Of the people he
represents or rather mis-represents
and should be recalled at once.

TmEJApAN ExrEDlrloN.-The Dos
ton Post publishes the following ex.
tract from letter received from a
gentleman who has just returned to this
country from u trip to China, relstive
to the feelings Of the Japanese toward
the expedition expected from the Uni.
ted States:
II was Informed by a gentleman, q
native of Japan, that the Emperor is
ready for the American expedition.
He exhibited a letter to me, which he
had just received from one of his coun-
trymen, then on the island of Jeddo
The people kept a strict lookout all
over the coast and their fires were al.
ready burning on the mountains at
night, in order to be prepared in case
the squadron should appear At night.
One million Of soldiers are ready and
at hand. The coast is all set with
guns, while in the bay Of Jeddo, where
the feet is expected, there are count
less war junks, and the whole bay is
surrounded with innumerable forts
The expedition will find the Japanese
much better soldiers than they antici-
pate.
The presents had better have been
left at home. A trade will not soon
be open with that country, except by
fOrce.''

~ Senator SouLE has recently de-
livered himself Of a speech in the Sen
ate upon Cuba, and central American
matters, in which he has undertaken
to utterly dcmolish the present Ad-
ministration, and everybody connected
Herewith. The Hon. Senator speech
is represented as being gerry able, and
very severe, in fact perfect "smash-
cr" Of everything and everybody
He wants to take Cuba, and he don't
want to take her, he wants to buy, and
he don't want to buy, he thinks Ever
EFT too severe upon England and
France, relative to the proposed trca-
ty; and not severe enough; thinks
Spain ought to give up Cuba, and
shouldn't give her up: in fact Mr.
Soule seems to have surpassed himself
in this medly Of brilliant contradic-
tons and assertions.
Mr.. Soule, az a member of the
Nashville Convention and most able
and bitter denOuncer Of the American
people and the Union at that time, ex-
hibited one phase Of character and
now, as the ferociOus butcher of weak
and dying administration, glories in
showing himself as the strongest fricmM
of the Union and our Government.
