B0MBARDMENr OF yALPARAIsO.


The culmination of heathenism and utter
disregard of human rights on the part of the
Spanish Government exhibited itself through
accidentQi Admiral Nunez on the 3lst March,
in the bombardment of the city of Valparaiso,
Chill, causing the almost annihilation of the
city and pecuuiary loss of 25 to 30 millions
dollars. The loss win principally fall upon the
French and English residents, though the loss
of American residents was also large. The
British Admiral Denman, asserted that he
would interfere to prevent the bombardment,
and Commodore Rogers of the U. S. Squadron
also assured him he would stand by him in the
contest, and that in from "thirty seconds to
thirty minutes he would leave only the mast
heads of the Spanish irOn-clad above water
But when the day came, the British Admiral
backed water, and would not interpose to save
the city. Commodore Rogers of the U. S.
Squadron to his own and our country's dis
grace then declined to interfere, and the Span
ish guns opened upon the city. Fires immed-
lately burst forth in every direction and con-
tinued to rage with great violence for forty
tlRhb uOuIo. Nv ACoo huoh S,NNN HANJo~N-~N-
were thrown into the defenceless city and not
shot was fired in retaliation.
When the great British power, which so
boastfully proclaims its right to vindicate the
cause of all men, wherever its flag may float,
backed down and refused to protect the pro-
perty, rights and lives of its own citizens,
then Commodore Rogers of the U. S. Squad
ron should have taken the responsibility, and
prevented the awful catastrophe which followed.
How will the indignation of every American
manifest itself toward this puerile spirit of our
resentatiye in the harbOr of Valparaiso? A
decisive protest from Commodore Rogers would
have prevented the bOmbardment and given
to the fearless defender of the right, and the
cause of the defenceless, name of undying
glory, and to our flag prestige which no nation
on earth would have dared resent. s5

GEN. LEE FOR PREsInENr.

The Mobile Register has placed at the head of
its columns the name of Gen. Robert E. Lee as
the State Rights Democratic candidate for Pres
ident in 1868.
The Memphis Ary,s thinks the time has not
yet come TO propose the name of Gen. Lee for
this high Office. 1t says:
"Surely, they are no good or true
friends of this grand old man, who, in the pres
ent posture of affairs, would drag his great name
into the filthy arena of party strife. Not till a
new and better spirit shall prevail in the poll
tics of this country, and the country shall call
for its best men to stand and serve in high pla-
ces will it be possible or appropriate to dignity
the Presidential chair with second, and greater
than Washington.
sIf, in the approaching political struggle, it
becomes necessary or advisable, or proper, to
designate some Conservative candidate for the
Presidency in 1868, in our opinion he-our pres
ent leader, the great statesman of Tennessee
is the man.
That is, great and good" men not being wan
ed, The Argus nomin ates johnson.

WEST VIRGINIA,

An important election takes place in West
Virginia on the 24th of this month. The ques-
tions involved are contained in certain amend
ments to the State Constitution TO be voted on.
AT present, section first of article third reads as
follows:
'The whole male citizens of the State shall
be entitled to vote at all elections held within
the election districts in which they respective
1y reside; but no person who is minor or OF
unsouDd mind, or pauper, or who is under
conviction of treason, felony, or bribery in any
election, or who has not been a resident of the
State for one year, or Of the country in which
he offers to vote for thirty days next preceding
such offer, shall be permitted to vote while
such disability continues.
1t is proposed to amend the above article OF
the Constitution by the addition of the follow
ing clause:
"No person who, since the first day of June,
1861, has given or shall give voluntary aid or
assistance 10 the rebellion against the United
States, shall be citizen of this State, or be al
lowed to vote at any election held therein, un-
less he has volunteered into the military or ma
val service of the United States, and has been
or shall be honorably discharged therefrom. "
Township officers are also to be elected.

RRYRNuE DECISION.

The Commissioner of Internal Revenue has
made the following decision relative to Income
Tax, viz:
"All expenses for insurance upon property
and all actual losses in business, may be deduc-
ted from the gross income of the year but
losses sustained after December 3lst, 1865, can =
not reduce the income for the year. Losses in
CURED in the prosecution of one kind of busi-
ness may be deducted from those portions of
income derived from fixed investments, such as
bonds, mortgages, rents and the like. Assessors
should also be careful not 10 allow the deduc-
ton of amounts claimed TO have been lost in
business, when in reality they should be regar-
ded as investments or expenditures; as when
merchants expended money in farming or gar
dening, for recreation, or adornment, rather than
pecuniary profit. Persons travelling about the
country as the agents of manufacturers, or deal
ers seeking orders for goods as agents of one
person, or firms, only such as salaried clerks or
men hired by the month, should not be requi-
red to take licenses as commercial brokers. All
parts of decision No. l59, inconsistent herewith,
are hereby revoked"

Mr.. Trumbulls amendment to the POST Of
Appropriation bill to prohibit the payment OF
persons illegally appointed to office, was yes
terday rejected by the Senate-Yeas, 16; nays,
%. The amendment as offered was as follows
"Thst person exercising, performing, under
taking to exercise perform any duties Of any Office
which BY law required to be filled by the advice and
consent Of the SenSe shall before confirmation receive
any compensation for his services unless commissioned
by the President to h vacancy occssioned by DEATH
resignation or expiration of term during the of
the Senate and since its last adjournment"
We are utterly unable to preceive what valid
objection can be urged against this. None such
has been presented in debate, but we have had
instead surfeit of clamors about interference
with ihe President. But it is not the man who
means to keep the law, that dislikes restrictions.
He who is cOntriving 10 evade it may naturally
resist the attempt to put legal obstacles in his
1sy.-M Y9ri5EHe.

THE MEMPHIS PAPERS ON THE LATE
RIOT IN THAT CITY.

A Memphis special to the Cincinnati Gazette
of Saturday says:
The incendiarism of Wednesday night is most
heartily condemned by the city press. The
Bulletin ascribes the riot to the natural antipa-
thy every where existing between Irishmen and
negroes, and does not credit the report that it
was premeditated by the negroes. The AvG-
La',chc says it was engendered by the fanatical
teachings of Abolitionists. The Post, Union
paper, has had little to say, further than to de-
plOre the affray, but severely denounces the
iendish spirit which eliminated in the burning
of houses over helpless and innocent negroes,
1t condemns the reports of the Avalanche and
Argus as biased and untrue. The report that
General Stoneman had authorized the re-organ-
ization of the l54th Tennessee rebel regiment,
for the purpose of sufficient military force proves
to have been unfounded.
The Bulletin suggests the appointment Of a
committee, composed equally of Southern and
Northern men of reliability, to investigate the
origin of the riot, and report to the authorities
at Washington.

TRIAL OF JEFF DAVIS.


The IIibune's Washington special dispatch
says: The indictment Of jeff. Davis has been
made public, but it contains nothing not in that
published year ago.
Chief Justice Chase has signified his willing
ness to preside over Court in Virginia on the
condition that the President issue proclama-
tion abrogating martial law in that State, SO far
as the United States forces are concerned. The
Chief Justice had an interview with the Presi-
dent on the subject, last week, and the proba-
bilities are, that the latter will listen to Chase
suggestions, as he expressed himself anxious
for the immediate trial of the chief nstigator OF
the rebellion.
BODY OF HON. PRESTON KING FOUND.
New YORK, May 14.-Officer Kenny of the
Atlantic Dock, Brooklyn, Police, this morning
discovered the body of man floating into the
gap from Buttermilk channel and from appear
ances it was believed 10 be the body of the late
Preston King. Subsequently the body was
positively identified by Preston King Webster,
Mr.. Kings nephew, Mr.. Lydecker, and others
of the Custom House. The Coroner will hold
an inquest on Thursday.
The remains of Preston King are not much
bloated, and are less decomposed than might
have been expected, considering the fact that
they had been in the water just six months and
one day the Collector having thrown himself
into the North river on the morning of the 18th

SANTA ANNA AND MExICo.-The Mexican Re-
publicans in Washington fear that Santa Anna S
return, together with Secretary Stewards visit,
indicates that on his return to Mexico he may
replace Maximillian by a nominal republican
government guaranteeing the French debt.
The Mexican Legation at Washington says,
in reference to Santa Anna, that they regard
him as French spy, and expresses hope that
that if he reaches chihuahua, he will be speed
lily hanged.
A representation of the press was yesterday,
by invitation, admitted to an interesting and
lengthy interview with Gen. Santa Anna. The
General denied the allegations published against
him, and utterly repudiated all connivance with
Maximillian. He intends TO dispatch a staff Of
ficer to Juarez to-day, and send communica-
ton TO Romero explanatory of his intention in
this country

BODY OF HON. PREsfON KING FoUN
COLORADO BILL VETOED.

Washington, May 15-The President this
afternoon returned the Colorado bill to Senate
with his objections. He does not consider the
establishment of a State Government in Collar
ado at present necessary for the welfare of the
people there. The population is small, some
estimate it as low as 25, 900 whites. The ad-
vocates of the bill reckon to numbers at from
35, 600 to 10000. 1t is not satisfactorily estab
lished that majority of the citizens desire are
prepared for the change of territorial for a
State Government. The final objection is that
the admission of Colorado at this time as a State
into the Union appears to him to be incompat-
ible with the public interests of the country
Instead of increasing, Colorado has diminished
population

EMIGRATION FRom IRELAND.

Ireland will presently be depopulated if EN-
igration continues at its present rate. The last
number of the Cork Reporter states that hum
dreds of emigrants are scattered through the
town awaiting the arrival of the next tTans-At-
lantic steamer. These people, says the Reporter,
have come from Limerick, Clare, Kerry, and
some from Tipperary, and are, without excep-
tiOn, "a well-dressed, well-lOOking, healthy, in
teresting body"
