Shakespeare en- the American
Candidates.

The great English drsmatist painted
human nature, and In every age we find
the characters he drew. Here for in
stance is q certain candidate for the
Presidency. We leave it to ours to make
the application:
There are sort OF men whose visages
Do cream and mautle, ike a Standing pond
Aud do q wllfuI Stiffness entertain,
With purpose to be drest Ia an opinion
Of wisdom, gravity, profound concelt;
AS who should say, am Sir Oracle,
And, when ope my lips, let no dog bark
., my Antonio, do know of these
tn 1t therefore only are reported tCiSe,
For saying nothing; vino very sure,
II they should speak, would almost damn
those ears.
Which, nearing them, would call their brothers
fools. -Shdk5pe0re's Merchant Of Venice.
So there is no need to tell any one to
whom the following applies:
HoratIo, thou art cen as Just man
As eer my conversation coped withal,
Nay, do not think hattsr. .
Blessed are those
Whose blood and judgment are so well COM
mingled,
That Iney are not pipe for fortunes finger,
To sound what stop she p eases, Give me that
man
That is not PASSIONS slave. and will wear
him

RESIGNATION OF THE TYCOON.
NEW YORK, Jan. IA Yokohama (Japan)
dispatch of Dec. 6, via San Francisco, Jan. 1,
has the following: ~ Llts5'J Ill
erning power into the hands of the Mikado.
There are rumors of troubles at Kiato, the
metropolis. Some assert that the death of
Stoiz Vaboht-has taken place. but it is not gen.
orally believed.
OPENING OF NEW PORTS.
Osaco and Viogan, on the Inland Sea, will
certainly be opened to foreign commerce on
the LIST Of January 1868. The U. S. Minister,
with several of his colleagues, will proceed
there in short time to be present on the oc-
casion of the opening. An army and large
naval force will be present in case of troubles.
The opening OF Jeddo is deferred until the LIST
OF April. The new port to be opened on the
west coast of the empire is Neogata, but the
harbor being unsafe for foreign ships coming
in, that of Ebisunito, in the island of Sado,
thirty miles distant, is to be made the port of
entry in its stead. This port and harbor are to
be opened on the LIST OF April. The reason for
the delay given by Japan is that they cannot
prepare the settlements before that period
Several mercantile houses intend opening
branches of their establishments at Osaco and
Hiago, among others three American houses,
whose headquarters are here. Many American
hands are wanting here to go there.
MARRIAGE OF THE AMERICAN MINISTER.
Gen. Van Valkenburg, United States Minis
ter in Japan, was married 18th November to
Mrs. Schayer, widow of the late Raphael
Schayer of New York. i-.
The tree under which Commodore Perry
signed the original treaty with the Japanese
has been cut down to make way for the resi-
dence of the British Consulate.
DEATH OF COMMODORE WATKINS.
Commodore Jas. I. Watkins died on board
steamer Costa Rica on the passage from Yoko-
hama to Shanghai, from injuries received from
falling down a hatchway ---
In markets. prices for imports are the same
as in the last report, nominal. The demand
for arms and ammunition has been good since
the receipt of the news of the abdicati ON of
the Tycoon. Wooden mill goods are dull.

EMANCIPATION JUBILEE.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 2.-The anniversary of
the Emancipation Jubilee was duly celebrated
last evening at the colored Presbyterian
Church. Speeches were made by Senator
Pomeroy, Prof. Wilson, Gen. o. o. Howard
and Gen. Butler, and Whttier's poem-"The
Red, White and Blue"-was recited.
Gen. Butler said it was good for the people
to be here to celebrate this anniversary of lib
erty. The last stain had been wiped from our
escutcheOn. The speaker traced the contest
between slavery and freedom from the forma-
ton of the government to the emancipation of
the blacks. He did not fear war of races.
The blacks had had sufficient opportunities to
inaugurate such war while in slavery, the
whites being nearly all absent in the army
and it was not likely now when they were tree
men and had secured the ballot that they would
inaugurate war of races He thought the
time for confiscaton of rebel estates had pass
ed by, and the negroes must rely upon their
own exertions to purchase homesteads. The
great difficulty in the South now was that the
negroes did not vote as their former masters
wanted them to vote, but they voted as he
would vote, were he a black man. He spoke
of the new rights appertaining to citizens and
said that the best definition he had ever seen
was that given by Mr.. Lincoln, who defined
equality of rights thus: "Every man has the
right to be the equal of every other man if he
can" That is all the negro wants, a fair and
equal chance. fI7rr4..a .Gr
