VENEZUELA.

We have advises of the final completion Of the
new Constitution of Venezuela designed to take the
place of the system Of despotc oppression and QUE
man, or rather onefamily power, introduced by the
Monagas family, under democrsticsl pretensions
and discuises This new Constitution was finally
completed on the oath of December, after six
months session Of the convention called TO frame
il. The President TO be elected under it is not to
assume Office till Jan. 90, 1860; and meanwhile
Gen Castro, who, though protege, and formerly
a warm partizan of the Monagas family, yet took
tie lead in its overthrow, has been appointed
President I'D interim with the command of the
army. and, in addition to his other emoluments,
pension for life of $500 month. Gen. Psez, who
has Just arrived in Venezuela, was cordially re-
ceiyed BY Castro, and very enthusiastically By the
people--not, however entirely to tie satisfaction
Of all the parties having share in the present
administration, some Of whom were Jealous oil
Paezs pretensons to the Presidency and fearful OF
combination between him and Castro to rule the
country. Some recent outbreaks in the interior
and in the island of Margarta, the first that have
occurred since the deposition of Monagss, give
signs of political discomfort. 1t is stated that an
amnesty ha, been proclaimed, extending to all
political offenders, except ex.President Jose Ia
dec Monagas, who is declared traitor and
perpetuall5 banished. Yet, according to other &C
counts some Of the connections or adherents OF
the Monagas family still remain in prison. jose
Tsdeo Moi sgas is in Trinidad, and as he still has
party in the country. is an object of serious appre-
tensions.
The new Constitution gives to the electors di-
rect vote by secret ballot. 1t abolishes the cum
brous Old Spanish system Of passports, and the old
fashioned criminal procedure according to which
an accused party was obliged to answer interroga,
tories, with view thus to obtain evidence against
him. Another provision, based on the experience
of the country with the Monagas family, is, that no
person can be q candidate for the Presidency who
stands within four degrees Of relationship to the
incumbent This, with the abolition of the Coun-
Gil of State, are the prncip, changes from the old
paper Constitution, which, however, did not pre-
vent the Monagas family from introducing COM
pete tyranny. Even we ourselves are beginning
to find that constitutions on paper and governments
in practice are very different things and such is
still more the case with the republics south Of us.
We, however, seem to be fast treading in their
footsteps, as witness the late fostering into the
Senate of two pretended Senators from Indiana.
We doubt much if the Monagas family, however
they may have rivaled our present rulers in dem
ocratic pretenses ever committed an outrage quite
equal to that

eaec. their escape AID then only in disguise the
French Consulate, in which tSey remained beng
all TIE time surrounded by a tSVesteniDg crowd
The Melbourne then sailed for Kingston, where
the ex;les we're landed. The personal appearance
of Soulouque seem, to have produced favorable
impression not merely on the negro population oil
KINGSTON, but on tie whites also. The Standard
describes him " as very fine looking sable gentle
" man" rather corpulent, handsomely dressed, aP'
psrently in good health and resembling in dgure
and carriage late Governor of Jamaica. Amoag
his suite was NJ. Potion, grandson Of that Potion
who acted in former ii mes distinguished part in
the country, having been Boyer's predecessor in
the Presidency.
SouOuque is reported to have provided against
a rainy day by investing largely in the English
funds. Probably his wealth is good deal e1'g-
gerated, but the reputation Of it is for some pur-
poses as good as the reality. Whatever may have
been the faults Of Solouques Administration, 1t is
underable that he left H,yti in much more pros
porous condition than be found it, though this,
doubtless, was principally owing to the increased
prices of the coffee and tobacco which form the
principal staples of the island.

THE Ex.EMpRRoR sOULOUQUE.

The Jamaica Standard gives the following &C.
count of the abdication of SoulOuque. On the
10th Of January, be entered Portau-Prince, hay
ing had several partial engagements with the forces
under Gen. Geffrard, in all Of which be had been
worsted, in consequence of the desertion Of his
troops TO the side Of the insurgents. He imme-
dately commenced barricading the city, and throw
ing I'D earth-works on commanding points. Upon
the following day, when the alarm guns announced
the approach of the insurgents, the city was
thrown into great confusion and excitement, prin-
cipally by the prevalence of report that the En-.
peror, to save himself, meant to make the struggle
an affair of CASTE to destroy the whole mulatto
population of the city which is very considerable
the mulattoes in Hayti being found almost exclu-
,iyey in the cities-and, to aid him in that opera
tion to call in the negro peasantry of the adjoining
mountains.
Gen. Gefrard, instead Of attacking tho city at
once lay outside for four days, his force constantly
increasing by assertions from the Emperor. AL

ments made with those inside, early on the morning
of the 18th be burnt into the city, gained possession
Of the forts, and, apparently without the less! re-
sistance, surrounded the Emperor's house. The
Emperor Immediately sent TO ask the protection Of
Gen. Geffrard to enable him to take shelter at the
French Consulate, which WAS granted, the Empe-
ror, with bis family, being escorted thither by three
hundred Of his guard, who still remained faithful,
but who, after rendering him this last service i'm
mediately disbanSfd. His principal minister. also
succeeded in reaching the shelter, after which
the Emperor act of abdication was Immediately
drawn up, signed and proclaimed through the city
BY sound of trumpet. The Consulate was soon
surrounded BY an infuriated mob, when Gen.
Gearsrd, being appealed to BY the Consul, isued
an order for SoulOques Instant departure promising
Elm also an escort to the wharf.

THE GREAT SOURCE OF CRIME.

That twelve hundred and eighty nine policemen
of all sorts and sizes have to be salaried, because
seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-nine
bar-rooms and rum shops are kept open, according
to lav, in the city of New-YOrk, is q stupendous
fact That we should make crime Wholesale with
malice prepense, and then pay for its attempted
repression, is worthy any amount Of aquiline ex-
altation. New-York is fond Of citing herself as
the center of the poitico. solar system of this
country and this arithmetical logic proves her
supreme illumination in morals snd manners In
addition to the stentorian loudness of this fact,
preaching our Manhattanese civilization, we learn
BY the report of the Deputy Superintendent Of
Police, which we give on another page, that there
are four hundred and ninety six knorn houses
of prOstitutions-these being the natural pen
dents Of the bar-rooms. Likewise, eigbty-four
houses of assignation, known as such,
but how many more are therel Attached
to these shames are ono hundred and
seventy bar.rooms 20 that drunkenness
and lewdness are busy under the Same roof In
addition TO these splendid facts, we learn that
there are one hundred and eghty-6ve slow grog.
"geries' where known thieves and prostitutes
daily and nightly resort; but We are infor ned with
charming nairctt that strict surveillance is kept
over them, thereby preventing them from commit
ting many deprad.tions that they otherwise would
be guilty Of. The propriety Of shutting up these
dens is not even limited at. Another noteworthy
item in this report is the natiOnaties as regards
drunkenness, violence and thieving. The whole
number eff arrests were 1876 during the last
quarter of year; Of these our Irish fellow-citi-
zeDs number s, co., showing the superior strength
and ivelness Of their imsginations under the spell
of the native element-whisky. The Americans
how modest figure in comparison. They are
only 2,7O7 including al colord persons. Germany
stands next in order Of numbers, l,O4l; England
has 462; Scotland, lie; France, e. The primary
cause Of 10 1874 of these arrests we are told, may
be traced to the habit of drinking intoxicating
liquors to e4ceIs. 1t is the grog. shop which fills
be prisons with criminals.

In the SENATE, yesterday, Mr. Stewards bill,
additional TO the act prohibiting the slave-trade,
was reported by Mr. Bayard from the Judiciary
Committee, without amendment and without rec
ommendation. Mr.. Fitch offered resolution,
which was adopted, providing for some little re.
trenchment in the public printing. TheDiplonatic
Appropriation bill was then taken up, and Mr..
Clay moved to strike out the SIS, 900 for sending
back to Africa the negroes kidnapped by the brig
Echo. All the Republican members supported the
appropriation aud on q vote Mr.. Clay's amendment
was lost 40 voting against and 10 in its favor As
Mr. Pugh proposes to speak on the bill, it was
laid aside for the present. Among the appropris-
tons in this bill are $4,000 for Ministers SAL
aries $l1, 900 extra for Japan; $40 900 for Con-
soils; $50 900 for contingent expenses Of missions;
$50, 900 for the Foreign Intercourse fund;
$50 900 for the relief Of American seamen abroad
$4,000 for Consuls' furniture ard postage;
S22, 900 for Office rents 100000 for the British
Boundary Commission; $4,000 for the Reel
procty Commission; $4,000 for the return Of
the Echos negroes, and other items, making total
of over million. The Cuba bill was then taken
up, and Mr.. Thompson of Kentucky made a long
speech.
In the HOUSE, the blu increasing the number Of
Assistant Surgeons and Pursers in the Navy was
laid on the table. The Committee on Territories
presented bill providing for temporary Govern
ment for Arizona, but made no appropriation OF
money Nr. Stevens urged its immediate consid-
GRAFTON. This led to food Of bills in regard to
the present Territories, including the appropri-
atoms for public buildings in Utah, Nebraska,
New Mexico and Kansas all Of which were laid on
the table. The House passed the Senate bill
granting pension to the widow of
General Gaines. The Senste's amendments
to the Agricultural College bill was
then taken up and concurred in. In Commit
tee of the Whole, the seDate's amendments to the
Indian Appropriation bill were considered. The
debate was principally upon the proposition to
transfer the Indian Bureau from the Interior to
the War Department, which was favored by Mr.,
Blair of Missouri; and opposed by hr. Cox of
Ohio. The proposition was rejected, and the
House subsequently concurred in the action Of the
Committee,

A special meeting of the Board Of COun'ilmen
was held yesterday afternoon, when the enormous
Tax Levy, which we set forth and explained in our
paper yesterday, was swallowed, asa matter Of
course. Some Of the Opposition members made
WHY faces over the matter, but as the creditors Of
the city, especially those who live upon their
salaries, have been starved ever since the COM
mencement Of the year, and many Of them are re-.
ally suffering for money, it was deemed advisable to
let it 60 through. We presume that the Controller
will now pay all regular claims for salaries, without
waiting for Legislative action.

The Hon. Jonn B. Thompson of Ky. yesterday
made a capital speech against Cubastealing-a
speech none the less forcible in essence because Of
the humor and wit with which it glowed and
.psrkled throughout. Mr.. Thompson, We regret to
say, leaves Congress on the 4th Of March next and
his place will be indihIerently filled BY Lazarus W.
Powell. The contrast between the Kentucky Of
Henry Clay and that of his son james B., is not
one calculated to strengthen faith in Human Pro-
gress or the speedy coming of the Millennium.

A meeting was held last evening at Hope Chapel
TO consider the question Of the increased pauper-
ism in this city. Mayor Tiemanu called the meet
ing to order, and Joseph Hoxie took the chair. A
report was read which suggested as remedy tue
sending of the unemployed to the West in accord
apce with plans of the American Industrial Asso-
citation. Speeches were made by Mr.. HoIie, the
Rev. Mathew Hale Smith and Joseph Blunt.

The great Importance of Tuesdays debate in the
Senate on the proposition to turn out the usurping
Senators from Indiana, Messrs. Bright and Fitch,
and admit the lawfully elected claimants to the
seats occupied by those squatter', induces US to
devote considerable proportion Of our columns to
fuller report Of this debate than our readers
have yet seen. Those who read it carefully will
hardly fail to appreciate the fact which Pervades
the whole Of these Astounding proceedings. We
refer to the degraded and desperate condition of
the socailed Democratic and Pro-Slavery party.
No party conscious Of possessing real vitality and
power, would ever resort to such an indecent and
indefensble measure IS the retention 10 the Senate
of these intrusive and fraudulent members.

Philosophy and experiment both prove the
necessity of keeping the Sabbath day. 1t is
necessary to the best Conlilion of man. 1t pro,
moes longevity and pccuniary interest. By
resting from ordinary labor one day in TIE seven,
the body RECEIVERS its tone; and is able to work
th" next day with greater effect and with com
fort; while the miud, after the Sundays relax
alton, sees more clearly the relations of business
interests, plans more promptly, or Investigates
more thoroughly. The muscles of the horse
demand weekly intervals Of rest, MS well as
those Of man. The OK can do more work by
having the werSly rest
At recent meeting OF gentlemen associa tel
TO promote the Sabbath observance, Mr.. Dodge
said. that on late visit to England, he found
in StuffDrdshire, six furnaces which vcte not
worked on Sunday. and which had made more
iron than any other in England. BY having
the Sabbath rest, those working these furnaces
could work TO better purpose.
Those who, to secure more gain, work their
animals or their machinery, realize, in the
course Of their business, much more loss than
gain. This is the testimony Of such as have
observed and experimented with reference to
this question. The philosophy of the Sabbath
can not be questioned. II is as sure as is its
health(ul religious influence. The Sabbath is
needed 10 restore the equilibrium disturbed by
six days care and toll, as night comes to com.
