The election Of this parsonage was miser
able hrce, and insulting to the intelligence of
the age; but "the French" looked at the polished
bayonets of the soldiery, and threw their tick
cts into the ballot-box.
The legislation of France is as great mock
cry, and the legislature as innocent an exhibi-
ton of iryanticini as was ever displayed in
showman's box Yet in France there is a
eaven of rePublicanism capable Of keeping the
mass in excitement, though incapable Of pro-
ducing other present results.

In the Chamber of Deputies, there was a mega
tive vote of 100 to an affirmative of 1874; and
it was subject of surprise to every one that 100
men could be found to oppose the wishes of the
imperial government But. correspondent of
the New York Commercial advertiser explains
the seeming anomaly by statement to the eff
feet that LOUIS NAPOLEON had said to several
OF the Deputies that he was not particularly
anxious that it should pass that they might

sented to be sustained by the known determi-
nations of the Emperor. 1t is bill for the re-
stora'ion Of the pain of death for attempts at

of this measure, evidently called forth by the
fears (well grounded we trust) of the Emperor
himself, but little doubt is entertained, although
| every one is assured that the convictions of a
large majority of the deputies are averse to it.
That LOUIS NAPOLEON and many of his chief
supporters would long since have persisted had
such law been enforced appears to be wholly
forgotten by themselves.

HE CHINESE REBELLloN-THE FaENcH AND
ESaLIsH-THE JAPAN ExPEDIrIoE.-We have
seen a letter from an officer on board the United
States ship Plymouth, dated Hong Kong, March
oath. He says that the almost universal topic was
the rebellion. The rebel army much larger
than the regular army, and the head or chief rep
resents himself as descendant of former EN-
peror. At the last accounts they were surround
ing Marking, and great fears were entertained that
that city as well as Pekin would be destroyed. In
conformity with request from the Chinese autho.
rites, the British had despatched two steamers
and brig of-war, to assist the troops of the
government. The Susquehanna had been sent to
Shanghai. Captain Kelly was the senior officer
OF the station, Commodore Auck having left
for the United States. The Mississippi was
soon expected, and great Impotence mani
tested for her arrival Quite excitement pre-
vailed in consequence of an affair at Canton be-
tween the French and English. The French
Consul undertook to raise ag-pole on the parade
ground occupied by foreigners. The English
prevented them, whereupon the consul wrote to the
captain of a French frigate, stating the whole
affair to him He sent lieutenant and draft OF
marines to Canton, to protect the flag The lieu
tenant first civilly requested the Englishmen TO
desist, and on refusing, he in connection with his
men drove every opponent from the square, and
Immediately proceeded to erect the flagstaff. The
writer adds: II hardly think that we will go to
Japan this season. The squadron will not reach
here before July, and will not be ready before
August. The coast at that time ia very dangerous,
and a delay may be deemed Indispensable,

The RACE FOR OFFICE.-The mania with which
the nation is afflicted must surely now be at its
highest paroxysm The New York Tribune says
that there in the custom house at that port
some seven hundred subordinates, and that "for
these places there are twenty seven thousand ap.
plicants at the present writing. The salaries
attached to these offices are substantially as fol.
lows: One of $4,000, two of So 500, three of
200, five of So 000 seven of 800, thirty six of
= 500, one of S 4 400, and the remainder vary
ing from $500 to $l,O95. Among the twenty
seven thousand applicants" the Tribune contin-
ues, "thero are between forty and fifty magnates
ofthe party each of whom demand place for some
one of their particular followers worth 49, 900 a
year. Now, as there is but one Office worth this
sum, and less than fifty which are worth over
Sll00, some Of the throng who must be served
are doomed to egregious disappointment; while of
the twenty-seven thousand confident expectants,
twenty six Thousand and odd must be totally
blasted in their pursuit after official honors and
emoIuments. The collector Of the port is deserv-
ing of great COMMUNICATION in his present Cha
rybdis of perplexity, arising from the deluge of
applications under which be ia overwhelmed.

The Rights Of Wamen.

The Maryland Legislature, at it's late session /,
passed an act "o protect the property of the wife
from the debts of her husband" This act declares
that the property, real and person al. belonging to
woman at the time of her marriage, and all pro-
perty which che may acquire receive after her
marriage, shall be protected from attachment for
the liabilities of the husband provided that no &C.
QUESTION of property from her husband after cover.
ture shall be valid, if granted to her in prejudice
of the rights of his subsistng creditors. 1t is also
enacted that it shall not hereafter be necessary to
interpose trustee in order to secure to married
woman the sole and separate Of her property;
and, further that all contracts made between per.
sons in contemplation of marriage, shall remain
in full force after such marriage shall take place.
This law Gel tainly throws great protection
around woman, and will inevitably tend to elevate
her social position in the community, imparting to
her an independent existence hitherto denied her
in the marriage relation. We doubt whether all
the objects ever aimed at by the women's rights
conventions of the country could, if attained, i'm
part to her benefits of 30 excellent character as
must accrue from this bene6cent enactment.
The Maryland Legislature has, however if we
mistake not, omitted to attend to subject of some
importance in this connection. We have come
recollection of instances of gentlemen marrying
"Irsh fortunes" in that State-id eat, of marrying
heiresses in debt. Such Indebtedness passes over
to the husband, Ought not laws that retain to
the ladies their nssets at marriage retain to them
alone their indebtedness also, or at least to pre-
serve the husband from liability therefor?

The LIouoa TRAFric.-A temperance paper in
New Orleans says that "W olfe's Scheidam

suppose, therefore, that we may safely call it gin;
and to know the real name of any thing, whether
1t ia good or bad, is to gain great point.

Correspondence of the N. Y. Journal of Commerce
WASHINGTON. Tuesday Nav Al


WAsHINeToN, Tuesday, May 81.
You will probably see, in a few days, Treasury
circular in reference to the differenta duties on
Spanish tonnage, and abolshing the same for the
future. Mr.. Meredith had suspended the collec
ton of these discriminating duties, but MIR. Hodge
restored it. The subject was brought prominently
to the notice of Congress at the late session, and
particularly by the resolution and speech of Mr..
Mallory, the Senator from Florida. Very recently
the attention of the present Secretary of the Trea
sury was called to the subject by southern mer.
chants engaged in the trade with Cuba, through
MIR. Heart, editor of the Charleston Mercury. who
has spent some weeks here for this purpose.
Meanwhile a correspondence was entered into with
the Spanish Minister on the subject, and he ex-
pressed great desire, on the part of his govern
ment, that the diferential duties should be aboi-
ished
Thus in adopting this measure, a courtesy is
shown to the Spanish government, while it pro-
notes our own commercial interests. We may
now expect very soon, again to see Spanish ves-
sells in our ports.
The Secretary of the Treasury has decided to
reopen the contract for the material for building
the Charleston custom house. Messrs Leonard &
Dakln, OF New York, were the original contractors.
But the contract reserved to the Secretary the
to change the material to marble for the super.
structure. MIR. Guthrie, having decided to adopt
marble, has limited the existing contract to the
supply of granite for the basement, and the adver
tisement will appear forthwith inviting proposals
for furnishing the arbe.
Marble is hereafter to be adopted by the Govern
ment for all public edifices, here or elsewhere,
instead of granite san dstone To the climate
OF the South, particularly, marble is much better
adapted than granite; for in humid climate
granite soon becomes rusty and moss-c covered.
1t Is suggested that possibly the President will
appoinAGovernor Marcy as Minister to France, as
coon the Governor shall have completed the task
of organizing the Government for the ensuing four
years, and regulating our foreign policy for the
same term. Governor Marcy will, in this case,
leave nothing for his successor to do beyond the
mere routine of office.

During long career of pntaic duty he has
often come into necessary contact but rarely into
collision; and no has been constFained freouentlv

ofendfng. In the Hottest condition known to the
Consultation and the laws, his liabilities became
