THE MANNER IN WHICH SOL
DIERs ARE SLAUGHTERED IN
THE SENATE.

There is an Assistant Assessor Of Internal
Revenue in town trying to defeat the con-
frmation Of a gallant General who was ap-
pointed by The President for Collector OF
Internal Revenue. The Assessors argument
against the General is, that he has sympa,
thized with The PRESIDENTS policy! No
other complaint is'brought against him. II
the Assessor accomplishes the work in which
he has been engaged for weeks, he will ask
The PRESIDENT and Mr.. MCCUrLocH to ap-
point him He has already obtained an ad'
verse report in committee against his victim
who was fighting the battles Of his country
when the Assessor was holding q civil ant
lucrative Office at home! Such an Assessor
who will neglect his public duties to cont
here and engage in such contemplate busi
ness, ought to be summarily removed from
Office, and never appointed to another.

, FEW WORDS WITH SENATOR
HOwARD-THE PRESIDENTS
APPOUNTMENTS.

"Mr. Howard attributed the falling of in
the revenue in great measure to the kind
of appointments as collectors and assessors
that had recently been made by the Presi-
dent" Extract Of Speech Of Senator Ho'c-
ard Feb. %.
Exactly. We will cite Mr.. HOWARD one
single case to Illustrate the truth Of his state
ment. Last fall The president appointed
Major CHURCH HOWE collector of internal
revenue for the eighth Massachusetts dis
trict. He not only performed his regular
duties to the highest satisfaction of the Com
missioner Of Internal Revenue and the special
agent of the Treasury Department, who was
ordered to examine the workings Of his Office,
but he has also collected orer one hundred
thousand dollars from different manuiactu-
rers in his district, which sum his predecessor
had been cheated out of or had neglected TO
collect! Major HOWE was appointed col
lector because he was endorsed as an active
Young business man, and had won imperish
able laurels in the Union Army. The Rep
resentative of the Eighth district, Mr.
BALDWIN told CHARLES SUMNER and HENRY
WILSON that HOWE must not be confirmed
accordingly he was rejected, and Mr.. How
ARD voted against him. This is a specimen
of The PRESIDENTS appointments to which,
Mr.. Howard says, he attributes the falling
off in the revenue
Mr.. Howard knows very well that what
Mr.. SHERMAN told the Senate at the time
was true, that the decrease in the revenue
which was very large, was attributable mainl!
to the fact that there were fewer articles
manufactured now than year ago, and fewe
bought" Mr.. SHERMAN might have gont
still farther, and announced the fact that thu
terrible stagnation of business now notice
able all over the North and West is mainl!
the result of the unwise unconstitutional
and dangerous legislation of the present Con
gress. But it is not to be expected that rad
ical Senators, possessing even the fairness o.
Mr.. SHERMAN, will announce such truths
The spring now opening will witness before
its close, financial crash in this country
such as the world has never before heard Of
and the radical majority of the Thirty-Ninth
Congress will be held responsible for it by
the people.

Reception Of NINE. Parepa Rosa.

PAREPA, now Nine. Rosa, appeared in
oratorio before 5000 people at steinway Hall,
New York, on Wednesday evening last, the
night after her marriage. One critic says
those who were so fortunate as to attend
will not readily forget Mme. RosA's delicious
rendering of the arias How Beautiful are
Thy Feet i Know that My Redeemer
Liveth, and the rest. Since the days Of
JENNY LIND no such breathing of HANDEL's S
beauties has been felt or known in this coun.
try. The ladys reception and Endorsement
were of the most cordial and personally graf
flying nature"

On Thursday evening the grand mGsque
rade ball of the German Association took
place at Odd.Fellows' Hall. The company
was very large, filling the hall and its ante,
rooms relreshment-rooms, and drawing,
rooms with gay maskers and dancers, Some
very beautiful ladies were present, and the
fancy costumes, male and female, presented
a great variety, and in general they were
characterized by ingenuity and good taste,
The music, under the direction Of THEODORE
jacob, conductor Of the orchestra at Walls
Opera House, was especially admired. The
dancing was kept up to late hour, and
every one present was very grateful to the com,
mittee of arrangements for their efforts to
provide for the company an evening of 50
great enjoyment.

The Boston journal, the leading RepubIl

The report of the scene in the Senate, in
which two distinguished Senators made a
personal attack on the Secretary Of the
Treasury, must have struck most readers as
q departure from the etiquette of debate sin
cereiy to be regretted, We are accustomed
to harsh personal criticisms in the lower
branch of Congress but the people expect in
the Senate Of the United States higher par
liamentary standard Of discussion, and there

term, comments upon high public officials
better adapted to noisy caucus, but out Of

RAISING OE THE BEAusEAnI.

This very spirited poem, which we publish
for the special satisfaction of our Masonic
knights of the Temple, was written by the dis
hnguished companion and man of letters,
Brother and Professor William Z. Aytoun, we'll
known as, for long season, the able editor of
BtdokDoods Magazine. 1t was recited at Fes-
hval of the knights Templars of the Metropoli-
taH Priory of Scotland 1t might be we'll used,
IN the same manner, at any convlvial celebra-
ton OF the Templars in our region. The "Beau-
SAINT" was the name given to the Banner of the
Templars.
Fling out the Temple Banner as of Oldi
Age hath not stained the whteness of its fold
Nor marred the ruddy cross, Savation's sign.
Once more we lift the sacred standard up
Companions, fill the cup
We pledge the Beauseant in this sparkling
wine
OH what a valiant host have fought and bled
Beneath that Banner TO the wind outspread,
Since first IL moved against the infidel!
Who knows not how 1t waved on Salem's
towers,
When Acre, Ramla, Nazareth were ours,
And as Tioeras fellY
Fell with the Knights who bore II to the field
When ioulest treason broke the Christian shield.
And bade the Turkish crescent sign advance |!
Fell but to rise again with triple pride,
When, bounding DER the tide,
The armies came Of England and OF France!
And who is he, the leader OF that band,
Who first sets foot upon the Holy Land?
Move on, unrivalled champion that thou art
Shout, Brethren, shout! aloft your banners
fling
'Tis he, the Christians hope, the Island King
Richard, the Lion Heart
Then Acre fell-the Moslem foe went back
And still our Brethren followed on their track,
And even in the van of battle flew
The sacred Beauseant, like meteor star
Shedding its wrath afar
Upon the foul and unbelievlng crew.
Unvanquished stlll-till fraud, not force, com.
bined
With basest envy in despot's mind,
Dragged from its staff that glorious emblem
down,
And poured, like water, forth the gutless blood,
When Jacques Molay, the valiant and the good,
Received his martyr crown.
Then perished all-yet no, on Scottish ground
Some remnant of the Templars still was found
Whenever treason did not dare to quell.
Walter de Clifton honored be thy name
Who, Drawing death and shame,
Did'st vindicate thine Orders truth so we'll.
Years passed away, ere yet the warning world
Behelo again the Templar's flag unfurled,
But England saw the Rosy Cross return
Once more to light, and scattering dismaY
Within their ranks upon that glorious day
When Bruce won Bannockburn.
Then raise it up, Companions, once again,
Though now it wave not on the battle plain,
True hearts are here to guard its spotless fold:
Forever honored be the Templars name
Forever dear their fame
Fling out the Beauseant Banner as Of Old!

As beats the sad heart of the poor lonely
stranger,
When dying in lands far away,
He hears the loved voice of his own mountain
ranger
In melody melting away;
As the lone captive welcomes again to his cell
The dove that hath long been astray,
Unclasps the blue ribbon, and the warm words
that tell
The feelings of her far away;
So boundeth this bosom at such friendship as
thine,
Returned upon wings as the dove,
And so throbs this sad heart at that music
divine
That he1alds the reigning of Love. L. NJ.
