Hon. Jesse d. Bright

This gentleman is now yisitant at this
city, and may be found by his numerous
friends at the Palmer House. His health
seems excellent, and his spirits none the less
fresh and buOyant for the labOrs undergone
during the late session Of Congress in his SER
vice as President of the Senate and Vice Presi-
dent of the United States In every capacity
in which Mr.. BRIGHT has served the public,
his efficiency has proved commensurate with
the exigencies of the times, and equal to the
most sanguine expectations of his admirers.
Possessed of an indomitable will and an ener-
gy of intellect only eqUaled by physical
constitution of the most enviable power, MIR.
b. has determinately pressed forward In the
path of duty, dispelling every obstacle and
overcoming every opposition. AS the rep
resentative of this State, we have great
cause to be proud of Mr.. BRIGHT. He stands
in the United States Senate, in point of abili-
ty and influence, as the peer of the greatest
statesmen of the Nation. When Indiana is
interested, his voice is always heard aud T.

hiis instrumentality that an appropriation Of
fifty thousand dollars was procured, for the
erection of buildings at indianapolis, for the
use of the United States Courts and for other
public offices.
As Democrat, he IS uncompromising; and, "a
home as well as abroad, he has ever maintain
ed his principles, standing to them persistentlN
in the day of danger, and refusing always tC
lay them temporarily aside as a matter of ex-
pediency Notwithstanding this character
istic, however, such was his bearing during
the late session of Congress, as a presiding
officer and such his popularity with the
members of the Senate, that the following
resolution, offered by Senator CLAYTON, o
Delaware, late Secretary of State under Gene
raj TAYLOR, was adopted by unanimous vote
Resolved That the unanimous thanks o
the Senate be, and the same are hereby, ten
dered to the Honorable JESSE ID. BRIGHT, 70
the very able, dignifed, and impartial manne
in which he has presided over the delibera
tions of the Senate during the present session
now about to terminate.
We say this much of Mr.. BRIGHT as pub
lie man-as the representative of Indiana il
the United States Senate we speak of hin
disinterestedly, but candidly, as we hop
always to speak of those men made promi
nent by the Democratic party, and who hav
proved themselves worthy of the trust con
ided to their charge

proposition for Its purchase Mr. Marcy
changed his policy TO meet this new condition
Of things and the country will approve his
course.
But Mr.. Soule was provoked to a resignation
of his commission. five accept his own in
terpretation of his conduct, and look TO Mr..
Marcv's dispatch for the cause of his resigna-
ton, this step will appear singularly irrational
and inexcusable Our explanation OF hls
cause is Jus. this he was conscious that his
mission was a failure, and anxious to escape
the odium that must necessarily follow 50
grievous disappointment of popular expec-
tation. he resolved 10 raise an issue with the
Administration. and thus secure TO himself the
support Of the Opposition. II Mr.. Soule be
not grossly misrepresented, he is lending him
self 10 the discontented Democracy, and i
abettng n factious war against the Ad-
ministration, to whose generous confidence he
is indebted for the highest distinction 20 which
he can aspire This conduct does not consist
with our conception Of Mr.. SOule's character,
however much il may confirm the derogatory
representations of his enemies
Mr.. Soule misconccives the temper OF the
public mind, if he thinks to restore himself
by war upon the Administration. He car
! indulge no hope of favor in the North, while
I the South. Nv whom he has been 50 deserv-
adly admired, will not support him in a per
sonal, vindictive quarrel with an Administra
ton. which il is the interest Of the South e
sustain with consistency and unreseryed con
| fidence.

OF The Mobile Register says, the Jews
have always exhibited the marks of talent
and genius In all places they have pecu-
liar character. In former times, the employ
ments to which they were confined, and the
expressions and burdens under which they
labored, called forth the qualities of ingenuity
and cunning, and had debasing effect on the
great body of them. But in modern times
distinguished scholars, philosophers and ar
fists have been found among them. In the
art of music they have illustrated peculiar
genius A note from the journal of the Lite
rary Convention, held in New York in 1881
saws, at is well known that the literature o
Spain is much indebted to the Jews. A lis
of authors, of Hebrew origin, gives SCI oil
philology, 20 on astrology, 60 commentators
and expositors, "a on philosophy, 81 on gram
mar, &c on medicine, Is historians, 80 jurists
Is mathematicians 81 poets, 8 on rhetoric, s.
on the Talmud, 10 theologians and IS trans
lators."

Picture of European Life.

From letter of an American lady, pub
lshed in the GoJe, we clip the following ex-
tract:
In France, Switzerland, and in Austria, |
have seen the field covered with women
plowing, getting nut or spreading manure, dig
ging and ditching, working on railroads, and
carrying loads of dirt or manure on their
heads in bags and baskets they are so sun
burnt as often to be blacker than many color
ed persons, wrinkled, and sad looking as if
they had grown old before their time, and had
never happy feeling. Their miserable
novels are usually surrounded with mud and
filth, with pigs or COW before the door; the
barn and house are mostly together, scarcely
a sligh partition dividing them. When the
poor women have finished their hard days
work, (and this, observed, was prolonged till
dark, } they pick up their children, and go
to their comfortless homes. These people do
not own the land they work on, and may be
turned away from their poor homes when a
new master comes.

Mr.. Marcy and Mr.. Soule.

This paper has hcen the consistent apollo
gist of Mr.. Soule, throughout the succession
of troubles and difficulties which attended his
residence at the Court of Madrid. We nei-
ther mistrIsted the wisdom of his appoint
ment, nor censured his conduct during his So
joum abroad. But the publication of the pa
pers relative to the Ostend Conference, and
the abrupt resignation of Mr. Soule, have ma
terially diminished our confidence in his good
faith and diplomatic discretion and we are
constrained to utter now the first word of un-
favorable criticism on his conduct
The correspondence touching the Conference
at ostend, has been already laid before our
readers, and they are prepared either 10 con-
firm or to disapprove our structures on the con-
duct of our late Minister az Madrid.
The reply Of Mr. Marcy to the joint note
Of Messrs. Buchanan, Mason and Soule, is, in
our Judgment a paper OF conspicuous ability.
The line Of policy which il indicates, touch
ing TO our relations with the government Of
Spain, is precisely such as statesman Of Mr..
Marcy's conservative temper might be expec-
ted TO recommend. He manifests an earnest
desire to acquire Cuba, but by legitimate
means and without any breach of national
faith.

in which little orphan girl oftwcLve years

that she had been subjected to such tortures

two stout men to hold her, so crazy had she
