JOHN CONFESS TO JoHN BIGLER.-On the
10Th OF December, John Bgler wrote Hon.
John Conness patronizing letter, to which
the following is reply. 1t is good:
UNITED STATES SENATE CHAMBER,
WASHINGTON. Jan. %, 1867.
Hon. JOHN BIGLER-Sir: am in receipt
OF your letter of December Goth, since which
time the Senate has rejected your nominal
ton for Assessor of Internal Revenue, and /
could not consistently with my own, nor in
view OF your political course, do otherwise
than recommend it.
You complain of the treatment received
from some of our most distinguished citizens,
and appeal to ne against their judgment,
ana you send me enclosures conc, rning your
political record in your vindication | am
only astonished that you should lave done
this, knowing as you must that your whole
political course i'll California is familiar to
me. You will pardon brief reference to it,
The men who wished California to remain
free State, for time put you forward as q
representative man, and thus you obtained
great prominence in the State How unwise
the selection, how false you proved, and how
unworthy of their favor has found universal
acceptation.
1t is small matter who shall be Assessor,
but no man can expect to enter th9 political
heaven who is uncean The example. if it
we're possible, would be bad and we cannot
afford it.
The President tells me that it was your
brother (who lives in Pennsylvania who
advised your appointment. Because he
lives IN Pennsylvania, and because he be-
lleved the war for the Republic failure, in
my Judgment renders him incompetent to
advise an appointment
You say you - true frend' of the
President lie has reason to wish to be
saved from his trends if this be so. No
man can be a g true friend'' of the Pres-
dent who has not been true to others, and
who is not true to all and WHO has not been
true to his country ruth has no special
season, but has all seasons for her own; it
cannot be spliced with falsehood In a vul-
gar acceptaton, it Is easy to be true to a
President and In this respect you may be
true to him.
1t is scarcely possible, as you seem to
think, that the gentlemen to whom you refer
feared the power of Assessor, as in the
way of their aspirations. This misappre
hension doubtless arises in your mind from
a want of knowledge of your own position;
and of theirs in California scarcely think
they would regard you as at all Iotent, even
with an Assessor commission
Your difficulty, apprehend, is the old
one-a want of capacity to appreciate the
importance of great political issues and
proneness to sink their consequence in the
obtainment of office, and consequent want
of the confidence of your fellow citizens
Respectfully, etc. JuRN CoNNEss.

Ben. BUTLER.-The San Antonio (TexasY
Express says the following extract was taken
from a private letter from gentleman in the
North, written to a friend in that city -
Butter is the only man III the North who has
b. ans enough to keep up with the people,
Wherever he goes the assembled thousands
split their throats, the soldiers shout them
selves hoarse, and fair ladies dash their fals
and parasols to pieces in their madness at
the mention of Ben. Buffers name in
mass meeting one universal yell browns all
tn ngs else. At Philadelphia | saw hun,
dred thousand heads uncovered, and heard
three hundred thousand cheers rend the air
when Ben. Butler walked forth in the
Southern loyalist procession. At Pittsburg
saw five thousand soldiers in convention
assembled, spring to their feet, en- maSse,
with such a yell as seemed as if all pande-
monlum had broken loose, wnen Ben. Butler
came among them. | saw him borne to the
platform over the heads of the standing
multltudes, and stand there nearly fifteen
minutes before the uproar subsided-and
then-anywhere in that throng you might
have heard a mosquito pick his teeth, so pro-
found was the silence; and when he said
that the = toys in blue were ready to fight
it over again if necessary" such a shout as
followed you never heard And now why is
it that Ben. Butler creates this fu,ore 1t
is not because he voted for jeff. Davis fifty.
seven times at Charleston, nor is it because
he proved great General in the field, for he
did not: but because he is the representative
man of the popular will-he is to day the
embodiment of the loyal spirit of the nation.
That is why the nation has forgotten that he
failed at Big bethel-proved incompetent at
Petersburg and Fort Fisher. and in fact a
military dunderhead generally. tell you
that Ben. Butler is to-day the strongest man
in the natinn-and he is the friend OF every
Southern Union man. He is worth more
than all the so-caled radical leaders put
together But there are no leaders.

DECREASE OF YANKEES IN New ENGLAND.
DR.. Alien, of Lowell, Massachusetts, has
some fears, fortified by statistics. that tue
1ankee race Is getting run out of New Eng
iahd In l'63, the population Of NasSachu
>etts. IN round numbers, was Do. 900 in
1900 1t was l, ,l3l 900, of whom 260, 900 were
OF foreign birth, not including The children
born In Massachusetts, of parents Of foreign
birth, which classed as Americans. The
foreign population produced nearly 1000
more children In 1860 than the entire Amer
lean population of Massachusetts. The
American births are actually less than the
American Deaths and the size of American
families is becoming small by degrees. and
unbeautiullv less with every generation.--
DR.. Allen tells US that in one town that the
frs. generations averaged 9 so children to IA
family the second, 7.Sl the third, 7.69 :;
the fourth. I 25 the fifth. 400; the sixth,
2.o4. In ali the towns examined the early
settlers on an AVERAGE had in each family
from eight to ten children the three sue
ceeding generations ranged from seven to
eight to a family, then about five, while the
sixth decreased to less than three. 1t is sur
prising how many large families were once
found in those old town. In one small town
settled in 1865, the records attest that there
were twenty.six families, with ten children
each, 90 families with IL children each, a
families with II children each, l3 families
with Is children each, one family with Is,
and one--the crown of all-with 2l children
Eightysfve families in these old times
could show 973 children. a juvenile regiment
Then" says the doctor, with something of
a pathetic lament over decayng generation,
" then large families were common-now
the exception then it was rare to find
couples having only one, two or three chill
dren-now it is very common. Then it was
regarded as calamity for married couple
to have no chil1ren-now such calamities
are found on every side of US. IN fact tney
are fashionable" p"
The adopted citizens eagerly buy land and
seldom sell it, and Doctor A Hen fears that
they will yet own the whole Bay State.

AMONG the antiquated laws and customs
of some of the smaller German States which
Will be abolished on their annexation to
Prussia, not the least curious are those re-
lating to marriage. In Electoral Hesse
no man was allowed to marry if under
twenty-five years of age an no woman if
under eighteen. The result of this some.

countries, girls try to make believe thev are
sweet seventeen" for many years after
they have left school, the Hesian Young
ladies often declare themselves to be eighteen
years old long before they have reached that
age. The Prussian authorities. however.
viii change all that. the law of Prussia
making the minimum marriageabe age
eighteen for man and fourteen for a woman.
In Wurtemburg. men are not allowed to
marry under twenty five, except by dispen-
sation. A curious law, said to date from the
time of the Visgnths, also exists in tlat
country. forbdding any woman to marry a
man twelve years younger than herself. In
the other German States similar anomalies
occur. Thus, in Saxony, the minimum mar
riageable age for man is twenty-one. of
women there is no restriction. In Austria.

while in Baden, marriages where the bride

Curious STATIsTIcs.-Some statistical
genious declares that more money is ex.
pended in the United States for cigars, than
for all the common schools in the country"
wag who is undoubtedly a lover of the
weed, seeing the statement going through
the papers, gets off the following:
at has been estimated that the cost of
washing linen that might just as well be worn
two days longer. amounts to enough in this
country to more than defray the expenses Of
the Board Of Foreign Missions
. The expense of buttons on the backs of
our coats, where they are of no earthly use,
il equal to the support of all our orphan
asylums.'
g 1t is estimated that the value of old boots
thrown aside, which might have been worn
at least day longer, i more than enough
to buy flannel night gown for every baby
in the land. Also, that the cost of every
inch on the full shirt collars of our vouno
men. is equal to the sum necessary to put a
Bible in the hands of every Patagonian
giant

brother of the boy, who was also in the YES
sci. at once plunged into the water and swan
to the spot where his brother was struggling.
The boat had drifred away, and the gallant
fellow had. therefore, no means of assisting
his drowning brother. He. however, strug

unless the attempt were relinquished. both
sons must inevitably perish, and he there

the vessel in a very exhausted state. having

A SENSATION SToRY.-A Chicago CORES
pondent says be saw lady the other day,
who was visit to that city, who for nine
years was nominalIy the wife of a Phiadel
phia banker, while at the same time he had
a wife and family in another part Of the city.
She supposed she regularly married
tn him all the time until the deaOuemeat-
lie had particularly requested her not to
visit his office, making some plausible excuse
and on two nights in the week would absent
himself on the plea that business called him
from town, The way the thing came to a
dcHouemeat was this: A sister visited her,
One morning she stood upon the piazza, and
as her supposed brother.in law passed out,
and when opposite the adjoining house, a
servant girl, sweeping the front steps. SAYS,
- Good morning Mr.. c." He barely
took notice, and passed on. The womanly
curiosity Of the sister was aroused, and she
said to the girl: why, that is not Mr..
C." The girl replied that she guessed
she knew, as she had lived in his family for
five years. This but added fuel to the flame
of curiosity, and the result was that she
ascertained that her brOther-in-law had a
wife and five children residing in an elegant
home about two miles away. She informed
her sister of her discovery. and. under the
pretext of selling some jewelry. she called
upon the wife number one. The first thing
that she saw on entering the parlor was a
full length portrait of her supposed husband.

her being confirmed, she went home, and

A Brutal CLERGYMAN.-The Melbuarne
Australian says:
One of the most brutal and disge sling
scenes which it has ever been our misfortune
to read of, is reported in the Ovens Advertiser
as having occurred in Trinity Church, Wan
garatta. Sunday or two ago. 1t appears
that the Rev. Mr. Booth, the incumbent of
the living, had just given out the evening
hymn, when he noticed a little dog running
about among the congregation. Incensed at
this breach Of decorum, the reverend gentle
man left his reading desk, and a chase COM
menced, which resulted in the capture of the
intruder. Mr.. Booth then proceeded to carry
the dog to the door, but before reaching it he
was met by member of the congregation,
who offered to relieve him Of his burden. -.
Our cotempnrary shall describe what ensued
in his own words: Mr.. Booth relinquished
his capture to the gentleman who volunteer
ed his services sat least a portion of it-giv
ing him the f1re part of the animal to hold .
but retaining its bind legs in his hand. 1t
is with the greatest reluctance we record
what followed. but truth compels us. The
reverend gentleman took one of the dogs
hind legs in both his hands, and after several
attempts, deliberately snapped it in two
This act of cruelty gave rise to the most
sickening sensations in church, and large
number rose and hurriedy lefr, quite shock
ed at what they had witnessed -
