Some OF the city papers are bowling like the
Dervishes of India about our tax levy being 80
large, and affect great Indignation at what
they call the ''robberies" committed on the
pockets of our citizens. The tax levies for the
past two or three years, by their enormous in
crease, certainly furnish striking commentary
on HoH'man's famous speeches on economy and
afford singular illustration Of the cheerfalness
and good temper with which our people SUBJ
init to being plundercd. But It b somewhat
strange to find the journals that are, making so
much fuss over the matter prominent among

Our Account Current with England
Art and Other Things.

We have pretty heavy account against
John Bull in the Alabama claims, which we
have been pressing for some time, but which
he has not yet settled. We have, too, some
other unsettled matters which he has been
slow about. In fact, he is a slow customer to
deal with In any case where his pocket or
pride is concerned. Still, he is not without
generous impulses, and will pay up what he
owes when convinced Of the justnesss of debt
or cannot avoid payment. If q powerful
nation like the United States presses its claims
he is disposed to do justice. Hence we think
the Alabama and other claims will be settled
sooner or later; and now that he is in excellent
humor over his Abyssinian victories he may be
brought to prompt settlement
There Is reason to think favorably of such
prospect from the very amicsble disposition
lately manifested toward whatever is American.
There has sprung up recently an entente cor
dale quite remarkable between England and
this country In the matter of art and artists
Charles Dickens, the quintessence of Britisher
and the highest type Of cockney Bohemianism,
came here strongly endorsed by all the Bohe-
mians Of England. Their recommendations
and his admitted talents were respected, and
we sent him back with his pockets full Of green
backs. After only few months of reading
Dickens, Dolby and Company were enabled to
take away with them about four hundred thou
sand dollars. This Is our side of the account
current, or part Of It, in the matter Of art.
On the other side we find that John Bull is in
blaze Of glory over our American prime
donne. Mile. vanzini-or, in plain English,
Mrs. Van Zandt---has created an extraordinary
Juror in London at the Royal Italian Opera.
She is compared in fattering manner with
Lucca, Patti Titiens and Nilsson, and, as the
London newspapers say, she performed before
''splendidly filed houses" We publish in
another column extracts from the London
press showing the effect Of her singing and act
ing and her extraordinary success. This well
merited praise is not given grudgingly, which
proves that John Bull is disposed to recipro-
cate our liberal conduct and to balance the ac-
count in the matter Of native genius or talent.
But this Is not all, for Miss Kellogg, another
American prinsa donna, has been well received
and much praised by the English newspapers.
She was performing at her hajesty's Opera,
Drury Lane, at the same time Mrs. Van zandt
was at the Royal Italian Opera, Coveut Gar
den. Thus America has fairly eclipssd Italy

PRAY1Na FOR THE SENATE. There is time
for all things, says Solomon and prayer for
the Senate would certainly be in order at the
right time. But the chaplain of Congress
chose neither the right time nor the right place
for the radical speech which, under the guise
of prayer for the Senate, he ''spoke" in the
House Of Representatives after the House had
been disgrrced for two days in succession by
the unparliamentary scenes Of the Donnelly-
washburne squabble. After the members Of
the House had encouraged the two ''parties" In
that quarrel to bespatter each other with abuse
in the vilest BiIlingsgate style, and had been
duly rewarded by an Invitation to 90 out and
take a. drink all round, their reverend chap
lain might well have taken occasion to offer In
their behalf the special prayers which they
manifestly so much needed. But he preferred
to pray for the Senate, or rather, according to
his usual practice, to lift up his voice In favor
OF the impeachment Of President johnson. The
chaplain, indeed, Is entitled to no vote in Con-
gress. snd his only chance for making radical

Arkansas has reconstructed herself, so far as
the law leaves reconstruction in the hands of
the States concerned, and is ready to come in.
She has accepted all the terms. She has made
a government republican in FORM" which
means government in which all the niggers
can vote and many Of the white men cannot.
She has chosen a Legislature that IL not only
republican in FORM" but radical in spirit. And
thus, sure OF the Legislature, sure of the mig
ger, sure OF the constitution Of the State, the
radicals in Congress are solemnly satisfied that
Arkansas is all right and that she may come
in and participate in the wonderful lawmakine
that is done at Washington. Being satisfied
and having the majority, the rest followed. Of
course. Thad Stevens said it, and who should
object Some democrats said no, and Stevens
graciously gave them two hours, coupling this
with warning to his radical kennel to keen
ont Of the discussion altogether, and sieni6-
cantly intimating that any man who yentured
to take up the time Of the House on the dis
cussion would be regarded as not quite sound
in the radical doctrine. This is a fearful
threat just now, when johnson is so nearly out
and Wade is 50 nearly in, and everybody is so
near toa new shuttle and deal Of the cards of
Presidential patronage. Arkansas, therefore,
is the irst SiateLthe initial point OF the pro-

| Terrible Volcanic Eruption on the Sand
| o. Our correspondent at Honolulu, Sandwich
Islands, In his. letter Of April 8, published in
our issue Of yesterday, mentioned that the
great crater of Kilauea on Mauna Loa was in
action, and that terrible volcanic eruption was
expected. BY a special telegram from Homo
lulu via San Francisco, received last night, we
are informed that the volcano was in full action,
and that the scene was one of unsurpassed
grandeur. The eruption began on the 9th of
March and continued in full force when our
despatch was sent (April 15). During twelve
days not less than two thousand shocks of
earthquake had taken place; huge mountains
and hills had been rent asunder, steep
precipices had been levelled, and the entire
topography of the island changed Streams Of
lava had been thrown from the crater to
height of one thousand feet and after falling had
descended the mountain, whence they flowed to
the sea, driving the waters back and forming q
point one mile in length. 80 At the village of
Waischina o shock of earthquake rent the
earth assunder, and tidal wave over sixty
feet in height swept inwards, rising over the
tops Of the cocoanut trees and carrying death
and destruction to persons, animals and pro-
| perty for quarter of q mile. One hundred per-
sons lost their lives, and the destruction of
property was large. A river Of liquid fire had
pushed out into the sea at Waischina for three
miles, and volcanic island, conical in shape,
had risen suddenly from the midst of the ocean.
Such, in brief, is the substance Of the news.
II is evident that the eruption, which was still
actively ct work when the despatch left, is the
greatest and most terrible one OF modern days.
The rapidity with which the earthquake shocks
followed each other, the immense streams of
lava hurled upwards to . greater height than
was ever known before, the earth torn and rent
asunder, and the SUBMITS of lofty mountains
toppling over and falling to their base, must all
have formed q spectacle as magnificent AZ it
must have been terrible. The eruption Is un-
precedented in the annals Of modern history.
Since the destruction of Pompeii and Hercula-
neum there, has not been, as our reports would
indicate, 80 gigantic convulsion Of nature, nor,
indeed, anything approximsting 10 the event
which has transpirsd and Is perhaps still trans
piring In the Sandwich Islands In 1859 the
same volcano was the scene Of . fearful erup-
ton which lasted for over nine months, but 1t
appears as II the present one exceeds 1t in
magnitude in every respect. buHnot

GENERAL BUTLERs RULE IN NEW Or
LEANs-CURroUs REVELATIONS. will be
seen from our Washington correspondence,
published in another part of the paper,
that some of the extraordinary doings Of
General Butler and the Butler ring in New
Orleans are coming to light This is not hear
say evidence, but testimony taken in legal
manner, and shows in the strongest light
the kind Of patriotism which animated the
''loyal" heroes Of New Orleans. They fol-
lowed in Farraguts wake for the goods Of
the people more than for the good or the
glory of the flag. The evidence speaks for
itself, and we need not enlarge upon IL here;
but we should like to know why Mr.. Stanton
ventured to suppress 1t or keep It concealed In
the War Department after Congress had passed
resolution calling for the damaging report Of
James T. Brady and General Baldy Smith.
Did Mr.. Stanton take upon himself to shield
Butler in defiance of the resolution Of Congress,
or did the radical friends OF Butler In Congress
privately authorize the Secretary to suppress
the report after they had called for it? Time
is great revealer Of truth, and we may have
BY and by all the facts about this matter.
