THE WOMAN OF sAMARIA.
BY JAMES D. BLACKWELL.

o1 SA1aES u. bLACh"ELLs
A stranger by Sahiaria's well
Rested his toll worn feet,
Where dense on Sychar's vale there fell
The beams Of noOntide heat.
Us seemed but some wayfaring man
I passing strangers view,
For noue would pause the face to scan
Oh the unfricndly Jew.
They did not see upon that brow
Engraved the majesty
81 OF Him to whom as present now,
Was all that was to be.
They did not recognize in him
Whose feet that highway trod
The Ono ID whom the Seraphim
Bowed even as TO God.
And when from old Samaria's gate
That needless woman came,
he, was 10 her, as there he sat, =. -.
One all unknown to famc
He asked her for a simple draught,
10 cool Him in His rest
And lo that thOughtless woman laughed
AT cen the small request.
1t seemed ,Iis to her thing SO strange.
That words with her EIc should exchange,
And he a hated Jew!
But greater wonder filled her heart,
Which might not b. controlled,
as she boheld with sudden start
Her guilty life unrolicd!
Each secret sin she thought concealed
BY lapse Of gliding years,
Was by that wOndrOus voice revealed
And all the past appears!
She turned aside her head in shame,
And downcast was her eye;
But H.! what healing words there came,
Like light o'er morning sky.
Hope dawred amidst her ria rkcst.woe
With beams divincly sweet,
1t was as though she heard the flow
OF streams mid summer'5 heat
Those words-thdy told of dying love,
or cancelled sims releasu
The first faint Whispers from above
OF pardon and OF peace!
They told her of those living streams
Whose waters heal the soul,
Whose draught with heavenly potence TEEN
L" make the wounded whole
And oh those streams ale flowing still,
Which life eternal give
UnbUught, and whatsoever will
May drink of them and live!

The ATLANTIC CABIB.-The shore end Of the
Atlantic cable was laid on the Irish coast on
the 9th inst, and by this time we presume the
Great Eastern is we'll on her way across the
Atlantic. While there exists general feeling
here that the perseverance, Of the Atlantic
Cable Company deserves success, II is remark
able how little interest is taken in the present
enterprise compared with that with which the
former attempts we're regarded. The Ameri-
can people appear 10 be vastly more interested
In the telegraphic connection with Russia, no
doubt because Of the strong sympathies exist
ing between that country and ours. and the
more friendly spiri. exhibited and the honest
neutrality observed by Russia during the re-
bellion. II cannot be long before We have

Presidents policy in substance, and only diff
fers with him about the form
We heartily congratulate the President and
the people upon their triumph over the radi-
Gals. 1t is a victory that leaves the fanatcal
factionists in a more demoralized condition
than ever The abandonment Of their plat
form will gain them no popularity, but 1t will
deprive them Of all their really honest though
misguided supporters, like Mr.. Wendell Phil
lips. They have contended that no Southern
Legislature is legal /; but they now illogically
accept the action Of the Tennessee Legislature
as the basis OF Congressional restoration.
They have insisted that no Southern State was
truly republican unless It admitted negroes to
the ballotbox and official stations; but now
they recognise Tennessee as in the Union, al
though she has decided against negro suffrage.
They intended to keep all the Southern States
from participation in the next Presidential
election; but new they have opened the door
SO widely that it cannot be again closed. They
have accused the President of usurpations
Of power; but now they endorse his whole
policy. Their fear Of the popular vote has
proved stronger than their dislike to the Presi-
dent, and they have inadvertently paid him
high compliment by admitting his own State
first of all. But, at the same time, their conces-
sions will gain them no advantage at the cleo
tions. Even if all the Southern States were
restored to-day, the people would not be any
better sa tisied with this Congress and the re-
publican party. They would ask why all this
had not been done long ago. without so much
delay? They would argue that as Congress
had officially acknowledged the Presidents
policy to be correct, Congress must have been
all this while in the wrong. The people also
have other issues TO settle with the radicals.
They do not see why Congress should escape
censure for its jobs, its extravaganza, its cor
ruption. its public swindles, and it's private
peculations, because it has at last confessed its
imbecility regarding restoration. These abuses
alone demand a thorough reconstruction Of par
ties The admission Of Tennessee has rendered
President Johnson stronger than ever; but it
will not enable the radicals to escape from the
political deluge Of the fall elections. One great
issue may be removed from the canvass; but
the other great issues, touching the pockets of
the people, through taxation, the tariff and
high prices, will remain in full force and damag-
ing effect.

long letters, to Minister fitzpatrick, fully ap-
proving of the action Of our representatives in
declining to forcibly prevent the infamous
bombardment Of that city. This is just like
Secretary Seward. He il always ready to
write letters, upon the smallest possible pre-
tences; and If at the same time he can approve
Of any piece Of folly disgraceful to the counr
try, he seems doubly delighted.

The GRATITUDE OF THE BRITISH GOVERNMENT
Earl Derby, the English Premier, and Earl Rus
sell, the late Premier, were exceedingly COM
plimentary to President johnson in their re-
marks in the House OF Lords when thanking
him for the interference Of our government in
the Fenian attack on Canada. The language
used on this occasion, fa.tering as it was, is no
more than the President Of the United States
deserves at the hands of England for his signal
services in saving colony which Lord Russell
designates as the brightest jewel in the British
crown. But the compliments Of these right
honorable statesmen are only empty words.
There is more substantial recompense for the
kind interference Of our government in the
Fenian affair which might be offered, and that
is the payment of the claims for damage done
by the Shenandoah and other pirates. The
former Ministry Of England considered the ar
guments upon that question exhausted. Per-
haps the new Cabinet, in its profuse express
sions Of gratitude, would consider the question
entitled to speedy settlement The best way
to show how deeply Earl Derby feels the good
services Of the United States is to pay of the
debt which the British government owes us for
the destruction Of our marine by the pirate
ships fitted out in English ports and manned
by English sailors

The RoUssEAu-GRNSELL AFFAIR m CON-
oREss.-The House Of Representatives has
finally closed its action in regard to the
Rousseau-Grinnell affair, by the Speaker repri-
manding General Rousseau. The radicals, no
doubt now feel that they have asserted their
dignity and purged themselves Of all in
decorous acts; and we trust that we have now
heard the last Of 1.-The bitter personalities
which have 80 disgraced that body. General
Rousseau has resigned his seat, and will proba-
bly, be either reelected or sent to the Senate.
However wrong he may have been in his as
sault upon Grinnell, there Is no question
that his provocation was great, and that the
language used by Grinnell towards him was
unprecedented. The Speaker should have
been reprimanded for permitting member 10
proceed in that manner. The excuse put for
ward by Mr.. Collar, that he had no right to
call member TO order, Is . singular interpre-
tation Of parliamentary law, and in reality no
excuse at all.
The New York herald., 1866-07-23

The JUDICIARY COMMITTEES AND THE JEFF DAVIS
TEsrMoNY.-The republican members Of the Ju-
dietary Committee Of the House Of Representa-
tives have pursued q very extraordinary course
in regard to the testimony taken in reference
to the connection Of Jeff Davis with the assas-
sination conspiracy. They have made up
their minds what report they will make, and
then turn around and peremptoriy refuse to
allow the minority Of the committee to read its
evidence or obtain even synopsis Of IL. This
is certainly very remarkable. II is the first
time in the history Of legislative bodies in this
country that the theory has been established
that any one member Of an investigating COM
mittee should be excluded from examining the
testimony taken on the questions submitted for
the committees examination. It is violation
of all usages and parliamentary rules, and is an
insult 10 the House. Can 1t be that they realize
that the evidence will upset their report, and
have taken this course to prevent the people
from knowing this fact 7 Such will
be tho inference drawn from their action,
and It will be far more damaging to them
than It would have been if they had permitted
Jack Rogers to examine the testimony and
make an elaborate report, showing the erro-
nsous conclusions Of the majority. Many who
would have never read . report from Rogers
nor believed one word that he said in II,
will believe that this is the real state Of the
case. II seems 70 VI that the committee have
taken the very course above all others to kill
OF and destroy the effect Of their report upon
this subject. Mr.. Boutwell, pretended that the
committee had adopted this course because
some Of the testimony had been communicated
to and published in the NEW York HERALD and
they were afraid that the balance would also
be made public. According to this admission,
the remarkable statement that We published Is
true, and the theory ofthe committee is already
shown 70 be false by the evidence. We pre-
sumo that the balance Of the testimony will
show this fact in still stronger light Hence the
determination to prevent IL from being made
public.

Who ARE TO BE ADMITTED TO THE PHnADEI~
pHA CONVENTION THE issues to be determined
ct the Philadelphia Convention do not belong
to any particular party, or any number Of
parties. They comprise the great popular
questions involved in the terrible mismanage-
ment Of the government by the present Con-
gress, the jobs, the unnecessary taxation, the
squandering Of the public money, tho inn
positions Of tax assessors and tax col
nue. from which the country reaps no ad-
vantage, amounting to nearly hundred and
eighty-seven millions Of dollars, and all the
rest Of the bad legislation with which the
people have been afflicted. Inasmuch As these
are all grievances against which the public have
common cause Of complaint, the best thing
that the Convention can do is to admit into
Its deliberations the representatives Of an
parties who may present themselves, and let
them all 60 to work, according to the light
that they are favored with, to establish o
healthier order Of things There will be many
candidates for admission, and II cannot be
expected that each will be agreeable to the
other. Objections Of various kinds will be
raised, and antecedents will probably be raked
up as barriers to participation in the councils
Of the Convention. It will be wise to overlook
all such objections, and give every one a
chance 70 have his say on the vital matter to
be discussed. We want new men as we'll as
new measures to bring the country back to It's
original prosperity, and nullify as far as posi-
BILE the work Of the corrupt faction in Congress-
The ancient Christian Church was formed
out Of heathens and Jews, for the very simple
reason that there were no other classes In exist
ence at that epoch from which to form new
faith-idol worshippers, and devil worship
pers, and believers in the prophets, and those
who bowed down before the golden calf; and
yet out Of these elements we got the grand
Christian dispensation, with oil Its blessings,
which have even fallen in a greater or less
degree upon the politicians. Let the Phila-
delphia Convention, therefore, give all the
elements-no matter how discordant--a chance,
and something good may come out Of the ad-
mixture.
