The Japan Commercial News, noticing
the luner eclipse, visible at Ksnswa, on

Shortly before six o'clock, our valet--s

manner imaginable, informed US that OF

very sick, and requested us to visit at

behold the truth Of his statement. Hay-

accompanied him outside, and found that
0lsukissms was, to all appearances, seri-

small part Of her fine full face (she was
then in opposition) giving sny indications
Of life at all. A very decided and pecu-

1t is understood that when the portion
Of the tax bill affecting whisky comes up,
Mr.. Washburns will renew his fight for
taxing stock on hand, for which the
House voted several times by decided ma

The House ct last begins to work like
legislating in earnest with view to q
speedy adjournment.
The bank bill went through to-day by 8
decided majority, very nearly in the shape
in which the original bill, subsequently,
amended to death, WAS reported.
The panic in New York speculative cir

assurance that the bottom is not out Of

Who MIR. Long is and what hts Speech
Meana---It Is Part OF the Copper ad
Programme.
A Washington letter says:
Alexander Long, who struck the key
note Of the CoppeThesd programme for the
campaign for 1854, is native Of Green
Vile, Mercer county, Pennsylvania, and
was born December "A, 1916. He was ed
ucated at Csry's Academy, (noW Farmers
College,) Ohio. and adopted the profession
Of Law, practieing the same in Cincinnati.
he was elected to the Ohio Legislature in
184S and 1849, and in 1862 he was elected
q Representative from the Second District
Of Hamilton county to the Thirty Eighth
Congress. he is q man Of limited ability
and small mental eslibre, and was but q
second rate lawyer in Cincinnati. 1t is
stated that he did not write the speech
which he delivered on Friday, but that it
il was the production Of one Of the editors
Of the Cincinnati Enquirer, as thoroughly
a secession sheet as the Chicago Times OF
your city. Long is in fact only q cats
paw in this matter. He is merely put for
ward by the extreme peace men to feel the
public pulse. The writing and delivery Of
this speech were all cut and dried. Long
was in Cincinnati about four weeks ago,
at the time when so many of cur copper
head members Of Congress went west to
attend the K. G. c. meetings held in Chi
cago, indianapolis, Cincinnati and other
places at the West At these meetings it
was resolved that the time had come when
the democratic party must take open
ground in favor of knoWledging the
the South. A programme Of operations
was also agreed upon, the principle point
in which was that the people were to be
educated up to the idea that Lincoln is a
usurper, and that he is determined to have
himself re elected by the military power.
If his election cannot be prevented by le-
gal means, "the Northern democratic
heart" is to be fired if possible to resist.
snce by the only means which the nosi
radical peace men contend is now left
them, viz, by opposing force to foroe. The
articles in the Chicago Times and Cincin
natl Enquirer, aud other cOpperhesd ps
pers, and the letters Of Vsllsndighsm
counseling retaliation upon Union men
are 8 part Of the programme. All the Hi
nois Copperhesd members Of Congress;
have been whipped in to the support oi
the extreme peace men. These peace mel
expect that there may be q break up q
the Chicago Convention, for they are de
termined, come veal or come woe, to carr,
out their programme. They will demsn'
; peace platform at Chicago, even at tn
price Of ths dismemberment of the party
might add that the COpperhesds Of Long
district would never have nominated hiI
in 1862 had they suppose there was an
chance Of their carrying the district a
that time.

An accident, which the superstitious
would call ominous, recently occurred in
the studio Of distinguished French sculp-
tor. The city of Rouen had ordered fine
equestrian statue of Louis Napoleon. Az
ter much labor it was completed but as
the artist, in exhibiting it to the commit
tee, was turning it upon its axis, the great
horse and rider fell to the floor broken into
q thousand pieces. But this is really
nothing Of a warning to the French En-
peror compared with the results Of the last
two elections in Paris. The Government
did not even put up any candidate, but
only favored one Of the opposition csndi-
dates IS the least obnoxious. The whole
representation, we believe, Of the city Of
Paris is now in the oppOsition-aad ''Paris
is France" according to the old saying
The uniform result Of these elections ex-
tending over considerable space of time,
shows that they are no demonstrations Of
popular whim, due to any single cause of
offence in the imperial region, but g mat
ured md earnest warning to the Emperor
that France wants and will have more
freedom for her people, or his dynasty will
not be respected as in the past.

Somebody who watched the turn-outs at
Longchsmps, on the Fashions" day in
Paris, says Of the ladies' apparel: Z" The
color worn was pink Of different shades.
To be perfectly a ls mode, pink is the
word-but no-see-there comes a lovely
blue dress and bonnet and parssol, all to
match. Blue mantle is not de rigHelIF, for
there is the next one, sll in blue, wearing
a black mantle. Then, here comes green
cape bonnet trimmed with roses, and
there is love Of lilsc one, alone. So
my conclusion is, that each fair one is at
liberty to choose the color which best be
comes her. Pink or white, trimmed with
roses, can better be worn with mixed toll
cites than blue, snd is therefore always
more worn. A peculiar shade Of purple
pink is a novelty which will doubtless
take.

FRnnI NEW YORK.

NEW YORK, April ISs
The Posts Washington special says, Mr..
MorriITs proposition to add 25 per cent to
Custom duties till the Tariff Bill can be
passed, will probably be agreed to. The
rates Of taxation under the new bill will
be largely increased, if Congress should
hesitate in adjusting the taxation in such
a manner ss to afford immediate relief, it
is said the President will send in special
message on the subject. The Report eau
Gus last night agreed to press the bill to Q
vote as soon as possible. 1t is reported
Mr., Washburne will move an amendment
to tax the stock of whisky on hand.
Richmond papers report riot in Cen
ersl Worford's Georgia brigade, ct Bristol,
Tennessee, recently, By some two hundred
members who were dissatisfied with the
quality of their rstions. The store Of the
the Commissary Wss plundered. The pro-
vost guard fred upon them, killing one
and wounding Eve or six. The rest es-
capped with their plumber. A number had
since been arrested and would be sharply
punished. The men were armed only
with stones.
Theirs was sharp advance in stocks
this afternoon, but reaction is said to he
likely,
The Commercials Washington special
says:
Secretary Chase was on the floor Of the
House to-day, listening to the arguments
of Messrs. Morrill, and Stebbins in favor
Of the tax bill, and expressed himself in
fsvor Of making it even more productive
to the treasury with q corresponding in
crease TO the tsriff.
The Naval Investigating COMMITTEES have
nearly concluded their labor. The re
port Of the majority will doubtless exoner
ate the department, while Senator Hale
will probably make minority report OF

A: Set of IncapabIes.

1t is a fact worthy Of comment that
while the Democratic leaders constantly
find fault with the action of the Admins
tration and Congress, the Democratic mem
bers Of the latter never originate any sort
of important legislation. We cannot now
recall, with the exception of Mr.. Pendle-
tons bill to admit members Of the Csbi-
net to seats upon the floor Of the House, q
single bill Of any general interest or inn
portance that has been introduced by 8
Democratic member. ALI the great meas
ures Of the session-sll the leading modi-
ficstions Of the committees bills-have
come from the Union side of Congress.
The quantity of anti-slavery legislation is
constantly complsined Of by the opposi-
ton, and we should think that the opposi-
ton, being free from that, would devote
their attention t0'general legislation, but
they do not do it. It is Senator Wilson
natures the ambulance corps bill it is
Mr.. Sumner provides for the cOdiheation
Of the United States laws; it is MIR.
Hooper introduces the currency bill; Mr..
Wsshburne 5he Lieutenant General bill,
etc. If our readers will look into this
subject they will be surprised at the facts.
II the Democratic members Of Congress dc
anything but make speeches and intro
duoe political resolutions to trip up Re
publiosns, we have not become aware oI
/ the fact. And yet these are the men who
complain that everything done wrong
and who called upon the people to pu
them in Congress, that the public admin
istrstion could be rectifed. Now that theJ
are in Congress, they do nothing bat peddli
vile politics. If everything is as bad q
they say, what field for reform tina,
be said that they are in minority an
can do nothing. But they do not try
do anything. II they were to propose un
questionsbly usefal legislation, The Re
publiosRa would not be found srraye
against it.-Detroit Tribune.
