Why Jim Lane Shot Himself.


A Washington correspondent Of the
N. Y. Tribune gives the following ex-
planation Of Senator Lanes attempt at
self-destruction:
"Jim Lane died Of Andy johnson. He
went f1m here to Kansas impressed
with the delusion that his support Of the
President was so acceptable to the peo-
pie of that State, that he could carry It
for Johnson's policy by 5000 majority.
His first appearance upon the streets OF
Lawrence shocked him with the sense
of his great error. In the town where
he had once walked monarch, no man
spoke to him. Old friends passed him
without recognition on the sidewalk
On horseback, in the principal street, he
rode unrccognized and rejected. He
went to his house and sent for many Of
his old friends to come and see him.
They returned answer that they wished
to have no intercourse with him. Two
days after his arrival Representative
Clark came from Washington. What q
contrast and what q lesson! A vast
crowd met and welcomed him with mu-
sic and flags. A public meeting ap-
| plauded his votes, honored him for his
! fidelity, and pledged to him the love
and support of Kansas. Humiliated,
smitten with remorse, and utterly des-
perate, Lane terminated at once his life
and his career in Johnson politics.

A caucus Of Republican members of
Congress was held at the capital on the

standing this, it has transpired that
there was full and free interchange Of
views as to the questions pending before
Cngress, and the interests of the party
the remarks all tending to the con-
clusion that they could not now fix the
time of adjournment. 1t was fnally
concluded to appoint committee Of

The report of the revolt in Cuba is con-
firmed. The Captain of the Clio, from
HAVANA the'8th, says that four Chilian
steamers effected a landing ftheir troops
early OH the morning of the 4th instant,
and immediately joined the camp Of the
insurgents. Near Nuevas, in camp,
were some 10000 insurgents, among
whom were many Of the wealthiest
planters, acting as officers oftheir plan
tation hands, who are we'll drilled.
They expressed the strongest determine
ton to throw off the yoke of Spain.
After joining the forces they all march
ed to within about fifty miles OF Ha-
vana, and fortified. It is thought bat
tie will take place in a few days. On
the morning Of lhe 7th instant, skir-
lnish took place between the outposts OF
| the insurgents, and the cavalry force OF
the Spanish Captain General. Several
were wounded on each side, and three
| Spaniards were killed. The utmost ex-
element prevails throughout the entire
island, and the planters are resolved t
free themselves from Spain. Just a.
| the Clio left, there was report that
the the Spanish Governors Private
Secretary had been assassinated in Ha
vana.

Judge Bryan of Charleston, has beer

The latter has been ordered by Secretar.

Hawaiian Legislature.

HAWAIIAN LUZ 16A0SUX0s
A correspondent of the Virginia (Ne-
vada) Daily Union, writing from Homo
lulu, speaks Of the Hawaiian Legislature
as follows:
This Legislature Is like all other Leg
islatures. A wooden-head gets up and
proposes an utterly absurd something or
other, and he and half dozen other
wooden heads discuss 1t with windy ve-
hemence for an hour, the remainder Of
the house sitting In silent patience the
while, and then sensible mana man
Of weight--a big gun--gets up and shows
the foolsEness Of the matter In five SEN
tences; vote Is taken and the thing II
tabled. Now, on one occasion, n KAN
aka member, who padded over here
from some barren rock or other out yon-
der in the ocean-some scalliwag who
wears nothing but q pair Of socks and
plug hat when he Is ut home, or possibly
is even moro scantily arrayed In the
popular n,dio-got up and gravely gave
notice of q bill to authorize the construc-
ton of n suspension bridge from Oahu to
Hawaii, u matter of one hundred and
fifty miles! He said the natives would
prefer it to the inter-island schooners,
and they wouldn't suffer from sea-sick-
ness on it. Up came Honorables ku
and Kulaui, and Kowkow, kiwawhoo
and lot Of other clacking geese, and
harried and worried this notable In
ternal improvement until some sensible
person rose and choked them oil by
moving the previous question. DO not
do an unjust thing now, and imagine
that Kanaka Legislatures do stupider
tnings than other similar bodies. Rath-
| er blush to remember that once, when .
Wisconsin Legislature had the aifixing
of penalty for the crime Of arson under
consideration, a member got up and So
riously suggested that when man
committed the damning crime of arson
they ought either to hang him or make
him marry the girl! To my mind the
suspension bridge man was Solomon
compared to this idiot"

How OUR GOVERNMENT OBTAINED REB
RI INFORMATION DURING THE Wharf.-The
Richmond correspondent of the New York
Times narrates a bit of romance during
the war; ar sas auam 7liuaasr
During the winter of l864.5, our gov
eminent obtained assurance of the hope
lessness of the rebel canse by coming into
possession of the testimony of Gen. Lee
before a committee of the rebel Congress,
which was never reported to the Houses
except in secret session, if at all. q
1.-The entire statement of the rebel gen.
eral, word for word, was in possession OF
President Lincoln at Washington. r
ain the room where the committee met,
was closet, and from that closet, imme-
diately after their adjournment, came the
priceless information. aH
"Outside the house it changed hands,
and second party walked leisurely thro
the streets of Richmond with it, until UP
on the environs he encountered one Of the
common country carts of this section pro-
ceeding with the half of newly killed
beef toward the rebel lines in Butler S
front.
"No communication that the most lynx,
eyed could perceive passed between the
man and the cart, but the former gradu-
ally changed his direction and was soon
walking back in the direction whence he
had come The cart went on, reached
and passed the rebel camps without mo-
lestation and reached the pickets, where
it halted as matter of course. a'fr rcd
The beef was destined for the house of
planter just beyond the rebel lines and
in plain sight of their outposts, and about
equi-distaDt between them and our own
outposts. These explanations made and
a careless search of the cart by the rebel
sentry that is look into it, then pro-
cecded on its way Just as it neared the
house small party of our cavalry made
dash at it, and to the utter surprise Of
the rebel pickets, who saw the whole af
fair our men only lowered moment a.
round the cart, then gallopel back with
one more than they came with, leaving
cart and beef. driver and mule behind
them. They did not know it then, but
under the beef was a man. and the mar
had package, and the package contained
the statemets of Gen, Lee before the Com.
mittee Of Congress a few hours before.
