REBELLION.

SPEEDY CHuRNING. "A writer in
the Homestead, reports statement
made at the New Haven Lectures,
that by adding a tablespoonful Of
fine salt to quart of cream, as the
latter is skinned of from the milk
and placed in the cream pots until
enough accumulates for churliing, the
time required for churning is reduced
to two or three minutes. In trial
made by the writer, he found this to
be true, and his theory is, that the
salt on the thin coating Of the globes
Of butter, SO dissolves it that a
slight agitation breaks it, and the but.
ter comes at once. The experiment
can easily be tried by any butter ma.
ker. This is something new and
should receive the attention of those
interested in this department OF
house keeping.

NEW YORK, April z.
The Herald's Washington special says, it is
now admitted that the resolutions granting
the Mexican loan will pass the house of Rep
resentatives. The opponents of the measure
concede that mnch 1t is understood that
number will vote for it, for the purpose Of
giving Napoleon to understand that the ooun-
try is in earnest, in regard to its endorsement
Of the republic of Mexico. Their vote in
the same instance be given FOR that measure,
in the hope that with its passage in the house
Napoleon will take the hint, and will with
draw from that country. 1t is understood
that after its passage in the lower house. it
will be held in the senate. to see whether the
French Emperor will take the hint without
further action by Congress. Both Congress
and the President are very determined and
positive in their opposition to the imperial
Mexican system. While there is no disposi
ton to bring on any serious complicati with
Napoleon, there is determination to do some
thing that will show to him that this country
will not submit to any double dealing, or
doubtful action on his part. For that reason
the vote will be very decided in the house.
The action Of the senate will be upon Ma
poleon's action, after the house has given
him decided hint by the passage Of the
measure bY that body

NEWS SUMMARY.


Mrs. JEFF Davis ID understood to be en-
route TO Washington, in hopes Of obtaining
permission to visit her husband in his prison
at Fort Monroe. She will probably arrive in
company Of A. H. Stephens within day or
two.
The Finance Committee Of the Senate have
decided to report the so-called loan bill in
the presise shape as it passedthe House. The
report will probably be made to-day. An
effort was made in the Committee to modify
it. but it failed. 1t is considered by a major.
ity of the Committee to be harmless a. it is,
therefore it is best to pass it without amend
ments
A Washington special states that the vote
on the Civil Rights Bill will be postponed
until Wednesday, owing 10 the absence Of
the senators to attend the funeral of the late
Senator Foote.
1t is believed that certain parties connected
with the French delegation, are engaged in
inducing parties to take contracts to collect
Imperial revenue in Mexico.
The Wortfs Washington special says a
number of persons have been called there by
the premature announcement that the reward
offered for the arrest Of the conspirators were
about to be distributed. No decision in that
respect has been arrived at by the War De-
partment.

RECOGNIZING CoyGREss.-ln correspon-
dence lately sent to the Senate by the presi-
dent, bearing upon the question of recon.
struction an the South, is letter from Mr..
Seward TO Governor Marvin of Florida, which
contains one very significant remark. The
Governor had forwarded ii copy OF his procla.
nation ordering State convention, and ac-
companled it with a general letter on the situ
alton in the State. To this Mr.. Seward. on
the 18th Of September, responded that .the
steps taken to reorganize the government Of
Florida seems TO be in the main iudicious
and good results from them may be hoped !:
for il must, however. be distinctly under
stood that the restoration TO which your proc
lamation refers will be subject to the decision
OF Congress"
The Secretary Of State thus distinctly re-
cognizes the power of Congress to decide up
on the question Of reconstruction, and in
making this admission he Yields the whole
question at issue between Congress and the
President
In addition to the extract above given. the
following telegram to Gov Sharkey. is con-
| tanned in the correspondence communicated

Mr. BANKS in his speech in favor Of an ap-
preparation to enable this country to be rep
resented in the French exhibition, proposes
one test Of the superiority Of American pro-
ducts over all the rest Of universal mankind,
that may not be satisfactory to our European
contemporaries. He says that among other
things. the navy department will send mon
itor to the show whereupon:
'.Our naval authorities, am told, will sum-
mon the navies of the whole world to dis
charge their batteries on the uninteresting and
silent monitor that lies sleeping in the center,
if they will only allow that monitor in return
to throw single shot at each of them when
they have fred to their hearts content"
That is fair of course, and what peace
measure it would be? To turn aside from look
ing at the vegetable and mechanical manu-
featuring and artistic sights, and gather the
crowd down to the water 5 edge where good
natured eombatants should, after the fashion
of prize fighters at fair, amuse the people
with belligerent encounters conducted in the
most admirable spirit and temper with the
most disastrous results would be novel pas
time. How the crowd would cheer as one
after another of the worlds pavies would go
down? England and France had tussle for
oceanic supremacy. In the days ofthe Armad a
Spain tried to put under Britain with men Of
war. sterner contest, was when Holland
sent forth her vessels to contest England $
ri IL s.Co n IL.
sea and the thunder of Won Tromp shook
the ocean, But the contestants did their
deeds then in martial humor. They were
mad, and fonght accordingly. What pity
men to do the whole thing after different
manner? How much better than their muir
derous way of doing it would have been to
have gotten up an international exhibition,
had an awarding committee, then to have
gone to work and sunk each other on
purely scientific grounds, and strictly as a
test of mechanical superiority? 1t would
have been an interesting feature of an in
formal Peace Congress and though the rep
resentatiyes of the different nations might
feel inwardly chagrined at seeing their navy
go plump under at a shot, courtesy would
forbid their manifesting any spleen and there
would be no bad blood.
If there is any American citizen so lost to
patriotism and SO destitute OF national feel
ing not to admit the incontestible superiority
Of this Yankee nation over all the rest Of the
world. or who doubts that the monitor afor-
said would wipe out, put under, eSterminate
and blow up instanter, all the nayes in the
world in such an encounter, we advise him
to pack up his trunk, get q certificate of ex-
emption from the draft and go to Patagonia a
for the remainder of his natural life He
is not fit son of the Great Republic. II is
expected, of course, that the commanded oi
the monitor shall have an American Eagle and
Fourth Of July member of congress and
our peculiar and irrepressible mode Of cele-
brating victory shall '.astonish the native b"
as greatly as our pluckey mode of winning it.
Let the exhibition go on by all means.

The fact that Gen. Grant cannot be caioled
into devotion to copperheadism, into an ''un-
conditional surrender to the reconstructed
Democracy, have caused these ..fire in the
war; gentry to open upon the Union Hero,
as noted for his republican simplicity as for
guns they formerly used against him and his
soldier boys, but which we're spiked for a
time by the unconditional surrender Of the
Southern Confederacy. The Rochester
Union (Cop charges Grant with seeking to
convert himselfinto Napoleon, and to exer-
else despotic powers. And that pink of
journalistic loyalty, the Cincinnati Enquirer,
thus relieves itself Of its venom toward the
out the rebellion:
"His shoulder strap Excellency. the Lieu
tenant-General, is very graciously willing
that all loyal menin the South shall vote, and
ifthey elect loyal men to Congress, all right.
He would admit them. He is to be the judge
of the loyalty. Consequently no one is to be
admitted that does not pass his Grant 81 in
spection of loyalty. How liberal this is!
Loyalty to be the test, and Grant to define
what loyalty is. This is the Lieutenant Cen
erals idea Of q republican government. We
might as well have dictator at once, and
may well exclam, upon what meat has
this our Cesar fed, that he has grown SO
great! ="
The Enquirer waxeth wroth nightly. That
Grant should have whipped the rebels and
then intimated that the Enquire should be
suppressed is more than it can endure in good
temper.
