that he and Mr.. De sAnto, in De Santos

ALEXANDRIA

Judge Underwood in his published opinion
in the Griffin case, takes occasion to praise the
"mercy and magnanimity of the government"
and adds: Very little property has been
seized and sold under the belligerent powers of
the Government, and that little with the sole
view of Gripping and weakening the enemy,
and thus bringing the war to speedier end
The seizures thus made were confined carefully
to the property of classes who were actively
hostile to the Government during the war. -
We think he had better refresh his memory
about some property seized and soldin Alexan-
dria and its neighborhood.

A Valuable Tree.

It has been said that Nature is more fantss-
tie than any of her children. And nowhere
has she more freely INDUCED in fantastic tricks
than in the fora and fauna of Australia
Many of the animals and plants which she
produces there, would, if they spontaneously
occurred in any other part Of the world be re-
garded as lusus nature.
We do not know whether such book has
been written, but certainly very interesting
volume might be compiled on the pecuIIar!tleS
we had almost said oddities-ot the animal
and vegetable forms of life in Australia; =,
It would seem as if nature, having finished
the rest of the world in an orderly and sedate
frame of mind, gave way to her frollcsome ten
denotes in Australia. Can anything be more
essentially ludicrous than kangaroo, or odder
than tree which sheds its bark instead oil Its
leaves? Australia is the farce OF creation But
amid all is oddities we now and then find spec
linens of the useful and the magnificent
Among them is the Eucalyptus, remarkable
tree which attains the height OF i've hundred
feet, thus reaching dimensions which enable 1t
literally to throw into the shade the Tar famed
gigantic trees of California. But as if to vim
dicate its native Australian right to be peculiar,
it combines what has never before been known
to unite in tree-great rapldlty OF growth and
great compactness of FIBRE which give it a great
economical value for mechanical purposes, and
make it invaluable as means of restoring the
forest growth in those regions which have been
denuded of it. 1t has another popularity
whish makes it still moae available for the lat,
ter purpose, which is its adaptation to the arid
and wateress portions of the globe IN warm
climates.
A tree planted in Agers fifteen years ago
has attained the volume and the qualities OF
an oak hundred years old, and from seed
planted three years ago has sprung tree now
four feet in circumference at the base. 1t is
now being introduced into Tia y upon the bare
SUBMITS and mountain ridges, and as It's leaves
exhale delightful fragrance and exercise a
powerful anti miasmatic influence perhaps II
NAV counteract and drive back the deadly
| blight which has for centuries been creeping up
| from the Pontine Marshes upon the Eternal
| City," and has made desert of what was once
the scene of busy Roman life and the site OF
gorgeous palata villas.
We must not omit to add that the bark OF
this remarkable tree is very hard and very rich
| in tannin. We hope some cnterprlsng hortl-
culturist will introduce the tree into this coun,
try. What magnificent shade tree 1t would
be for our streets aud public squares towering

upon the whole air the GOODNESS OF It's shade
and the sweetness of its perfume. PeterS6U0

Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the credentials OF
Mr. Hill, one of the Senators elect from Geor-
gia, were presented and objected to by some of
the extreme radicals, and were finally laid on
the table. A number of bills and resolutions
were then introduced and ordered to be printed,
among them two or three providing Tor uDlver-
sal suffrage in all the States. Mr.. Sumner
wanted to offer national salutation to SPAN /;
to resume specie payments on the 4th or July
next; to confer manhood suffrage and
lastly, project for cheap ocean postage. AND
there were several propositions looking to the
reduction of ADMINISTRATIONS, coIored suffrage
everywhere, and the issue OF arms to the radl-
cal governments OF the South.
La the House, the coored member elect from
Louisiana, appeared on the floor, but his ere
dentials were not presented. MIR. Eliot intro
duced bill continuing the ireedmens bureau
in Virginia, Mississippi and Texas. Mr.. Ke-
ley introduced bill proposing an amendment
to the constitution providing that no State
shall deny the elective franchise to any citizen
on account of race or color. Mr.. Morrill,, OF
Pennsylvania, offered a resolution declanng
that Rcverdy JohnsOn's conduct IN England
was nreiudicial to the interests and dignity OF
the United States, and requesting the Presl-
dent to order bis recall ut once. This gave
rise to some debate, but it was finally referred
to the committee on foreign affairs. The reso.
luton seemed to meet with very little favor
among the members. A resolution was adopt
ed, instructing the committee on ways and
means to inquire into the expedlency OF pro-
vding by law for the resumption OF specie pay
ments. Several other bills and resolutions re-
ative TO the currency, specie payments, the
elective franchise, etc, were introduced and re-
terred.
