THE confirmation by the Senate of
the Hon. Reverdy johnson as Minis
ter to England, without referring the
appointment to a committee. Is IN ac-
cordance with the custom Of that
body never to refer appointments
made from its own members.-Hi-
n0is Journal.
A custom that would be more hon
ored in the breach than IN the OBJ
%servance! REvERDY JOHNSON is ca
pable Of doing US more harm in Eng
land than General McULELLAN, and
his mission to New Orleans during
the war demonstrated that he does
not lack the inclination to do a clever
thing for the rebels, when he can do
so safely. The truth is. we can see no
objection to MCCLELLAN that does
not apply with equal force to JOHN
son, and %insrejecting the one and con-
frming the other, the Senate exhibit
ed petty malice. unrelieved by a sin

In California, through the instru-
mentality of the Democratic party,
the school fund has been divided so
that a part of the fund-in proper
ton to the number Of Catholic child
ren-has been applied toward sup
porting Romish ~sectarian schools, and
thus taxing Protestants for that pur-
pose, they paying far more tax in pro
portion to population than the Gath
olies. La New York, although nine
teen-twentieths of the tax is paid by
Protestants, yet three-fourths of the
charity appropriation Of the State is
made to Roman Catholic schools,
hospitals and orphan asylums, to the
shameful neglect of Protestant insti-
tutions. 1t viii not be many years,
should the Democrats get into power
again, before the same condition Of
things will prevail in all the States.

The Storm.

\ thunder storm Of remarkable
violence and unusual dlrstion visited
this city early this morning. There
had been heavy rains during the
night, with some lightning At about
2 o'clock a literal deluge of rain com
menced falling. accompanied by peal
after peal Of deafening thunder, and
lightning which exhibited rather an
incessant glare than a succession of
flashes. The fremeu had Just re-
turned from 3 building which had
been struck at the west end of the
city, when they were again called out
this time IN an easterly direction,
where the LIGHTNING had kindied an
other FIRE. For ne2r an hour the
fluid played around the spot with
singular pertinacity, striking several
times in the immediate vicinity, while
the rain fell 10 drenchinF torrents. 4
parallel for this storm, in the fall of
rain or the appalling violence Of the
electric exhibitions, is not within our
recollection.

Wen Put and Pointed.

Some one having written from
Madison to the Chicago Tribune q
letter calculated to iniure Mr.. Rublee
OF the State Journal by various mis-
representations, especially upon the
tariff hobby, Mr.. Rublee sent to the
Tribune for publication a reply from
which we copy as follows:
l. That the comments of the Mad
ison Journal upon your course res>
pecting the impeachment of Presi>
dent johnson are part of "a deep laid
conspiracy" at the bottom of which
IS the Iron and Steel Association, to
'oripple and injure your paper on ac-
count OF your course on the subject
Of the tariff and the currency"
This cannot be true because the
Madison Journal has NIT heeo-oosls0
tariff. In my opinion artificial reg
ulations and restrictions placed upon
trade and commerce, are in the main,
wrong in principle and injurious in
practice. Hence | am not likely to
be under the influence of the Iron and
Steel Association. At the same time
| do not like your course on the tar
if. You are constantly representing
an existing tariff as lift were enacted
for the sole purpose of protection,
with no regard to revenue, and TO
benefit Eastern manufacturers at the
expense of the West. On the con.
trary, it is mainly a revenue tariff !;
it is the source whence the govern
ment derives the gold by which it
maintains it credit; and it was as
warmly supported in Congress by
Western as by Eastern men. AS q
champion Of free trade, you would
be more efficacious, in my judgement
if you would initiate the candor,
moderation and good sense which
characterized the remarks of the
Chairman of the recent convention
of free trade men in New York, DR..
Lieber, who said. in his address be-
fore that body:
"There is no reason, absolutely,
against duties on import; but especi-
ally in our country, and in onr present
time, there are many reasons sohy zoe
should not giUe up 'revenae tariff" as
one Of the sources Of our public revenue
To state these would lead too far for
the present decision, but they are
plain, simple and strong. The pecul-
lar features of our country, the dis
vision into States, the public debt
now weighing upon US, make it by
no means desirable that we should
dispense with this branch of the rev.
enue."
We presume the Madison State
Journal, of which Mr.. Rablee is the
chief editor, about fairly represents
the republicans of the state and OF
the west very generally, perhaps
nine-tenths of them. The Chicago
Tribune in making schismatic hob
by of the old free trade issue, most
assuredly has no good object in view.

AN EXTINCT RACE One OF the
most remarkable races that ever in
habited the earth is now extinct
They were known as the Gaunches,
and were the aborigines of the Can
airy Islands. In the sixteenth Genius
ry, pestilence, slavery and the
cruelty of the Spsuiards succeeded in
totally exterminating them. They
are described as having been gigantic
in stature, but of a singularly mild
and gentle nature. Their food con-
sists of barley, wheat and goats,
milk, and their agriculture was Of
the rudest kind. They had a religion
which taught them of a future state
of rewards and punishments after
death, and of good and evil spirits
They regarded the volcano of Tener-
life as punishment for the bad. The
bodies of their dead were carefully
enbalmed and deposited in cata-
combs, which still continue to be an
object Of curiosity to those who visit
the islands. Their marriages were
very solemn, and before engaging in
them the brides were fattened on
milk.
