Rear Admiral Rowan, command
ing the Asiatic Squadron, writes from
Hong Kong under date of January
26, giving an account Of the difficulty
between the English Naval authori-
ties and the Chinese, near SwatoW.
The commander Of the English gun .
boat Cockchafer took his boats some
six or seven miles from the anchor
age to exercise them, and In passing
the village of Pulling the villagers
commenced pelting them with stones.
Lieutenant Kerr then landed and
demonstrated, and fnding the elders
OF the city engaged, attempted to take
the head man of the party in one of
the DOats to SwatoW. The villagers
resisted and fired on Lieutenant Kerr
who returned the fire, and soon dis
persed them. Lieutenant Kerr en-
barked, and when q short way on his
return was interrupted by villagers,

who fred on the boats, Wounding IL

A Slight Difference.

General Butler has expressed the
opinion in the House of Representa-
tfves that "they (the RadicaIsl had to
do, to save the life of the country,
many things for which no justifica-
ton can be found in the Constitution. I"
This is a pretty admission for a man
who has taken a solemn oath to adj
here to the Constitution in all its pro-
visions. The commission of the
crime of perjury is therefore frankly
acknowledged and justified. What
ends must those be which a party has
to attain by false Oathsi
We are further informed that "there
were many things we had to do un-
der Andrew Johnson which had never
been done again, and better be got rid
of as soon as possible" We here have
d slight disagreement with the Gen
eral. It is not things which were
done that il is important to be rid of
as the men who did them. It is true
they had better never be done again,
but who can vouch that they will not
be as long as we retain the rascals in
power who originally framed them.

Professional Politicians.


Attached to every political party
are thousands of men who never
dream of engaging in regular business
pursuits, or as working rs producers
for a livelihood, but live, Heaven
knows how, year after year, and with
the intent of procuring Office. They
will spend ten years OF idleness to get
one or two years of partisan and OFF,
'cial bread and butter, or, often the
bread without the butter. About one
of thsse, say In five or ten thousand,
ever gets position worth daily salt.
Yet nothing will induce them to seek
subsistence in any other form. They
have, usually, suffering families,
many. of whom are as anxious, eager
and visionary upon the subject of Of
fee holding as their heads. It Is
great pity that this curse of habitual
Office seeking cannot be modified, re-
duced, or nearly altogether abrogated.

EASTER.

DIN.
Trinity bells with their hollow lungs
AID their vibrant lips and their brazel
tongues
Over the roofs of the city pour,
Their Easter music with joyous roar,
Till the soaring notes to the sun are rolled,
As he swings along in his path of gold.
dearest papa, says my boy TO me,
As he merriiy climbs on his mothers knee,
''Why are these eggs that you see me hold
Colored 50 finely with blue and gold
And Whist is the wonderful bird that lays
Such beautiful eggs on Easter daysl
Tenderly shine the April skies,
Like laughter and tears in my cbild's blu'
eyes,
And every face in the street is gay,
Why cloud this youngsters by saying nay
30 -cudgeI my braiHs for the tale he begs
Anil tell him this story Of Easter eggs.
You have heard, my boy, of the man who
died,
Crowned with keen thorns and crucifed;
And how Joseph the wealthy-whom Goo
reWardI
Cared for the corse of his martyred Lord,
And piOusly tOmbed it within the rock,
And closed the gate with q mighty block
Now close by the tomb a fair tree grew,
And deep in the green trees shadowy breas
With pendulous leaves and blossoms of blue,
A beautiful singing biru sat on her nest,
Which was bordered with moses like mala
chite,
And held four eggs of an ivory white.
Now when the bird from her dim recess
Beheld the Lord In his burial dress,
And looked on the heavenly face so pale,
And the dear, feet pierced with the crue
nail,
Her heart nigh broke with sudden pang,
And ont of the depths Of her sorrow sh'
sang
All night long, till the moon was up,
She sat and sang in moss wreathed cup,
A song of SORROW as wild and shrill
As the homeless wind when it roams the
hill,
So full of tears-so loud and long,
That the grief Of the world seemed turned
to song.
But soon there came through the weeping
/. night
A ,slittsring angel clothed in white;
And he rolled the stone from the toni
away,
Where the Lord of the Earth and Heaven
And Christ arose in the cavern's gloom,
And in living lustre came from the tomb
Now the bird that sat in the heart of th'
tree
Beheld this celestial mystery,
And its heart was filed with sweet delight
And it poured a song on the throbbinl
night
Notes climbing notes, till higher, higher,
They shot to Heaven like sparks OF fire.
When the glittering wbite-robed angel hearC
The sOrrowing song of the grieVing bird,
And heard the following chant of mirth
That hailed Christ riseR again or, earth,
He SAID, ''SWeet bird, be forever blest-
Thyself, thy eggs, and mOss -wreathed nsst!'
And ever, my child, since that blessec
night,
When death bowed down by the Lord o
Light,
The eggs of that sweet bird change thei
hue,
And burn with red, aud gold and blue,
Reminding mankind in their simple way,
OF the holy marvel of Easter Day.

WAsHINGToN, March %, 1869.
SENATE = Resolutions continuing

ping from the rolls army officers alb
sent without leave, were passed. A
message was received from the House
announcing the non concurrence of
that body In the Senate amendments
to the bill for the repeal OF the Tenure
of Office Law. Trumbull made a mo-
tion that the Senate insist upon its
amendment, and ask q Committee of
Conference, which, after q long de-
bate, was carried by s vote Of 81 yeas
to 20 nays.
HoUsE-Under the call of States for
the purpose usual on this day, large
number of bills and joint resolutions
were introduced and appropriately re-
ferred. The resolutions introduced
some days ago by Morgan, of Ohio,
to exempt salt, tea, coffee, matches
and tobacco from Federal taxation,
and to impose tax of q per cent on
bonds, was tabled by strict party
vDte. The bill reOrganizing the Ju-
dietary system Of the United States
was passed. It provides for Supreme
Court, composed Of Chief Justice

an additional Judge for each of the
nine Circuits into which the United
States is divided, and that all Judges,
after reaching the age of seventy yrs.
may be retired on full pay.

cent nickels was passed, also a num-
Der of private bills. A motion to re-
cede from its disagreement with the

ham and Washburne, Of Wisconsin.

q, 1858, removing political dissbii-
ties was passed. A concurrent reso-

The Public Faith.


During the late civil war, the Cow
ernment was obliged to borrow mon
ey at such terms as it could get. The
need of raising two millions day by
borrowing, and the uncertainty wheth
er at the end of the war the Govern.
ment would be Of the whole nation or
ofa fragment of it, combined to de-
press our credit. The Government
could not sell its bonds for par in M, n
ey. It therefore resorted to the policv
of issuing a depreciating currency and
receiving that for it's bonds. The av-
erage value of this currency while it
was received for the bonds was about
sixty cents on the dollar. This is the
amount in real money that we re-
ceived for our bonds. The public
creditor got the nations obligation to
pay dollar for every sixty cents that
he lent to it.
We owe the creditor payment of
the interest periodically, and of the
principal at maturity. This is the
whole extent of our obligation. BY
this the bondholder receives 10 per
cent. interest in coin on The amount
actually lent the nation, and will re-
ceive at the maturity of the bond, it
he is paid in coin, sIxty-six per cent.
more on the principal tnan the amt
he actuslly lent. The Government
has promptly paid this interest, and
expects to pay the principal at matu-
rity. It might be thought that this
would fill the whole measure Of its
duty; that premium ot sixty-six per
cent. on the principal, and ten per
cent. interest on the amount actually
lent, is enough to undertake. But
there seem to be many that hold
that this is not enough; that the Gov
ernmsnt is guilty of breach of faith
so long as these bonds do not rise to
par in the hands of the public credit
ors; that the nation is dishonored be-
cause it does not raise the market
price of the bonds so that the public
creditor may speedily realize: an adj
vance Of two-thirds on the principal
he lent us; and that therefore the Gov.
eminent must make any sacrifice that
may be necessary to give this great
addition to the property of the bond
hOIders.
Among other sacrifices that many
think the nation should make in or.
der to profit the public creditor, If for
no other reason, is urged for this, the
Government should raise the value of
the deprecated notes to par with coin,
by m aking coin payment on them at
the Treasury at their face. This cur.
rency is the measure of the contracts
in existing credits running through
all the ramifcations of trade and In
dustry, whose amount Is estimated at
eight thousand millions. To raise this
measure of value to par with coin Is
to require at least one-third more OF
labor and property TO buy the dollar
than is required now, and thus to add
at least .one third to existing indebt-
edness. This would be to levy upon
those who use credit an additional
debt not less in amount than the
whole of the national debt. No one
attempts to deny that this would be
the result. nor to pretend to compre.

truth from R RadlcaI-Senasor
Snrague's Review of the Situation.

AAtA0eA04s
Senator Sprague, of Rhode Island,
son in law of Chief Justice Chase, in
a recent speech in Congress, reviewed
the political situation of his party
friends on the subject. OF reconstruc-
tion, and, in 50 doing, has told many
unpalatable truths.
"He tMr. Sprague) denied that
Congress had restored harmony or
prosperity to the country, and asser-
ted that the people in the South are
rather In u state of chronic revoIUS on
and that there was no Justice for the
poor man, or protection for the rights
and liberties of citizens in this boasted
land of freedom. Immigration had
fallen off, the industry and agricul-
ture Ofthe country were so prostrated
ct the West, that immigrants cannot
find remunerative employment, for
they can not sell their products for
enough to supply themselves with
the necessaries of life. The reason
was that the legislation and the ad-
ministration were so shaped q to en-
courage capital to speculate upon ev
cry industrial occupation in the coun-
try. If this course was to be contin-
ued, in less than five years there wo'd
be clamor for a tariff to keep out
foreign cotton. But great as was the
mismanagemcnt ofOur affairs in every
department, the greatest abuses were
our financial policy. That policy was
directed and controlled by the bank
ers. They no doubt gave as good ad-
vice as they could, but experience
had always shown that dealers in
money knew little or nothing about
the relation IF money to other eccu-
pations and interests. The country
was on the brink of.a precipice, and
unless the people could be reused from
their apathy, all was lost He had
wished for, and aided in the election
of General Grant to the Presidency,
because ne believed that he president
Grant, had not been contaminated
by the politicians, aud hal the capaci-
ty required to see through and defeat
their Vaccinations. lie had listened
to the inaugural address with intense
interest, and had been pleased by the
Presidents expressions of his purpose
to be independent in the dlst h irge Of
his Official duties, but when he heard
the passage asserting the sacredness
of the public debt, he had gone away
disheartened and sorrowful, because
it had shown him the canker that
possessed the American body polite,
had got possession of the President
also. Still he was not without hope.
He hoped the President would yet
discover the great error in which bad
advisers had led him, and would turn
away from this policy as from char
mel house."
The speech Of the Rhode Island
Senator is one Of the many signs Of
the times which betoken return to
reason, by the breaking up of the Rad
ical party It is full of wholesome
truths, and merits the attention 1t has
received.
