With rare COURAGE, hut with a degree Of
devotion to tic principles that uudcrlcs the
Republican movement that might have lccn
expected. Hon. Henry Wilson, Senator from
Massachusetts,, takes open and decided ohjcc-
tlons to the proposed two years amendment of
the Massachusetts State Constitution. His let
ter on the subject, printed at length in all tic
Boston Newspapers. is IN allie aud exhaustive
discussion of the wlnle suljcct-so able, that
we Of tic West where the foreign element is
most powerful, aud where its dangers and :ld
vnutaccs are properly estimated. cannot see
how Republican c:sn fail to Be quIeted by its
facts and convinced by its reasoning Mr..
Wilson seems 10 know Us we do, that that por-
tion Of tho foreign vote which is not welded
by the Catholic Church to the Pro-slaycry
Democracy in indissolullc bonds, will gladly
join in any just and proper movement By which
the abuse Of tic elective franchise my be pre-
vented. Republican Foreigners desire nothing
more than the purity Of the ballot box, and
dread nothing more THAI the frauds By which
its value has been mcasurably DESTROYED. They
want just and salutary reform: not proscrip-
ton. The Senator's wide acquaintance with
men Of that cluss has taken lin ont Of tic
narrow circle in which TOO many Of tile political
managers in Massachusetts revolye; and he
Of all others in his State is best qualified to
give all intelligent and because intelligent, val
liable, opinion Of the matter i'll dispute.
We thank the Senator in the mine Of the
Republicans Of tic Nest, for his timely defence
Of tic principles Of the party and the Integrity
Of the organization; and VIC trust that the al,-
peal which lie las made to the good sense and
honesty Of his State will prove not to llayc
been make in vain

The North Iowa Iimes confirms letter from
lady-a sister Of Lydia II. Sigourncy-cum-
menting upon an editorul in thai paper in rela-
ton to the L Hing Of Key, in which it was said
that '*Sicktes could not huve lived had he not
hare taken vengeance on the willy scoundrel
who had robbed him Of his position and dis
graccd his name" His correspondent had
supposed ''that Il ,nan's virtue was inherent, Il
part Of his nature, and nut reflection Of his
WIFE," But she infers from the editorial allud-
ed to, " when Mr. Sicklcs went to Congress, his
position. his honor, depended upon tue clIaste be-
l,a1ior Of Mrs. Sicklcs, his wife, and she 1tal
ian at that. Thu beautiful woman, captiyatcd
husband, sins is discovered and exposed; mud
Mr.. s., the only innocent person in the affair,
shoots Mr. Key, not for betraying his wife, but
for dishonurinx him! This she pronouuces
"es1egious seltishness," and continues as fol-
lows:
at is strange how differently our sexes are
constituted. Women survive these disagrecable
developments every day. If MIR. Sickles had
hired this assignatiou House aud met Mrs swiz-
zcls, do you think Nrs. Sicklcs would have gone
out to shoot tile faithless crinolinc who had
stolen her husband; No sir: Women do no
such foolish things; and why: Because, if VIC
are yirtuous, we have confidence in our virtue,
and We feel that no dereliction of the husband
can or ought to affect tile virtue OF n wife. But
suppose on some fine Sabbath morning all the
women in Washington who suspect their truant
lords should sally out Sword in hand to chas-
tisc the dear creatures who had stolen their af-
fections, would not this marx Ut interesting
epoch in historyt"
The following shows what 4 woman thinks Of
q mans courage:
"And get this man, who could not meet the
hollow shells Of humanity, that formed his So
ciety ut Washington, until HI had yindlcatcd his
honor, must now meet the multitudcs at his
trial-hcar the coarse jcerings Of nnpriuc Piled
libcrtines- -confron. his wife, wnl he mag
unanimously promised not to injurc-.hcar again
and again with c1ageeratiou aud ulin"tin, the
whole history of Ills misery rcyived-mect the

How the Americans arc Spelling the
Carnival ut Rome.
Mr. Bige!ow, Of the New York Ee>ntng Post,

Mr. blgeloW, Of The New ork Et'"tng f0sf,
writing from Rome, says:
But Of late, and this year in particular, Rome
hns become so throngcd with strangers from
England and America, and their equlpa,cs in the
carnival occupied 81 large proportion Of the
Corso, that 50 near as can learn, tile festival
has undergone some changes which hare rem
dcred il not only less interesting in ITSELF but
what is more to be tleplorcd, less characteristic
Of the institutions of civilization in which it bad
its origin. Formerly confectionery nnd flowers
used to be thrown from one carriage to another,
but for the most part in q complimentary spirit,
and deriving piquancy from tue fact that the
parties were unknown to each other, and in this
way were holding an allowable intercourse
which on any other day would be regarded as
too familiar.
But the Arglo-Sax0n race do not seem to have
the faculty Of enjoying this kind Of sport legti-
mntcly. They take the advantage Of the prisl-
legged character Of the day to annoy those they
meet, and make them ridiculous. They throw
confetti with violence; if they see o black hat
in the street, anything thAt will be discolored
By their artillery, they will take the utmost
pains to soil it Us much as possible. have even
seen then, 70 so far as to bend forward and de-
liberately throw i whole handful Of confetti Vi
oently in the face Of ladies' casually crossing tile
street, and taking nop part whntcver in the sports
Of the occasion. Such ill.breeding is rarely,
don't know but | may say never, trnccable TO
the Italians. 1t is feature which the fort>tieri
have introduced here, l atn told, and which will
soon eucc the last truce Of one Of the Oldest aud
most interesting Roman institutions extant.
