1t is amusing and edifying to mark the per
feet complacency with which our friends,
the Bostonians, regard the coming jubilee.
They are proof against squib and joke, jibe
and satire, and they do most cheerfully smile
at New-York caricatures. Boston is a little
"ahead of New-York this time," says The
Journal, "and they may crack their jokes to
''their hearts content" We are thankful for
the privilege, although we do not intend to
improve it. Boston ahead this timer Why,
it is a well understood fact that Boston is
ahead every time-in music, sculpture painting,
philosophy, poetry, &C., &c.-in everything
except newspapers. There we think that we
beat them; and even if we did not think so,
our self-respect would not permit us to ac-
knowledge the CALLING fact

we see no vestige of want of respectabilitv
in the British attitude of welcome. The ~

friendly than it should be, and promises for ~
a lease of that lmoral craftsmanship which wa
so much need in Europe, and which is az oooa

blown strenuously on both sides. the diplo.
matists may, we trust, quietly sit down to n.
consideration of the modest principle that two
and two make four.

Our correspondent travelling " Through the
"South," tells in letter from Norfolk, printed
on the second page, the common story of the
great expectations wherewith Northern specu-
lators deluded themselves in their purchases
of real estate in Virginia. The lesson Of their
experience is the old one taught by so many
disastrous failures in all parts of the South
since the war. Men who invest in real estate
at the South for agricultural purposes
should do so only with the means and the dis
position to cultivate their lands carefully and
skillfully from year to year. Fortunes are not
to be had for the taking on the lands of the
South any more than on those of the WeA
and thrift, industry and patient perseverance are
as necessary in the one case as in the other.
Those who buy only to speculate take the COM
mon risks of speculatiOns.

The following telegram, sent specially from
Washington to Boston, will be read with thrill
ing interest by all:
General Hoar has so much business hand
the most OF left over by Mr. Eyart that he cannot mud
time to 20 TO Boston to attend the Peace Jubilee"
While commencing Mr.. HOar as good boy
for staying at his Office and minding his busi-
ness, we can imagine what the feeling of Mr..
Evarts must be, at the thought that by leay-
ing so much business unfinished he has actually
prevented Mr.. Hoar from hearing the Anvil
Chorus with one hundred real anvils.

The ghost of Anneke JAMS still walks in
Trinity Churchyard For more than hundred
years those who claim to be heirs of this esti-
mable old Dutch woman have pursued tho
great church corporation in the hope Of getting
a share of the rich domain enjoyed by her.
Heretofore the suit has been aimed directly at
the validity of the devise but now comes a
new notion, and Old Trinity is attacked for
departing from the conditions of the testament.
The church, and especially the rector, are
charged with having forsaken the faith; de-
clared Professionalism a failure; refused to give
any proper account of the Trinity income; and
still further and worse, with having allowed
her property to be leased for dsreputable
houses. These are indeed grave charges, and
the public will be curious to read the answer.

The decision of Judge Blatchford in the
Dupuy pardon case will attract wide attention.
President Johnson pardoned this notorious tool
of the Whisky Ring. The pardon was delivered
to the Marshal, but the Marshal had not yet
delivered it to the Warden when President
Grant ordered its revocation. The Judge holds
that this order legally Cancelled the pardon,
denying that the issue completes the act, and
maintaining that the pardon can only take
effect after legal delivery. The prisoner is
therefore refused his discharge. The effect of
the decision, so far as this particular case Is
concerned is most righteous; but its legal
bearings are grave, and its sOundness is sure
to be strenuously questioned in many quarters.

The Indian policy announced in the circular
to superintendent and Agents seems to us
eminently wise; but it can only be proved so
through unusual wisdom in its practical
application. 1t has long been known
that the only chance for civiliEing the In
dams lay in their location on permanent re-
servations But these reservations have gener-
ally been so chosen that the Indians were pres
emily disturbed again by the inroads of land
seeking emigants, and demoralized by
the seductions of traders and whis-
key dealers. The abolition of the
whole custom of giving provisions or other
presents to rowing Indians is a necessary part
of the policy, and must tend largely to secure
It's Success.

Gov. A. G. Curtin, whose loyal efforts during
the war are gratefully remembered, was fit
tingly honored by his fellow-citizens on leav-
ing them for his Russian mission. His speech
at the great banquet given him in the Phila-
delphia Academy of Music was noticeable
chiefly as an eulogy of State which sent
1000 men into the war, and which helped the
new Minister to his political laurels. The
signal feature of the proceedings at the banquet
was the reading of letter from the Gar OF
Russia congratulating Gen. Grant upon his
accession to the Presidency. Our new Russian
relations open auspciously.

There is more trouble for the Quaker City.
After much litigation and many conflicting
rUmOrs about her intentions, the United States
Dstrict-AttOrney Hbels her again, on the
assumption that she is about to cruise for the
commission of hostilities against the Republic
of Hayti, Government with which we are at
peace OF course the general belief is that
her destination is Cuba; but nothing definite
is known, and the laws delay viii very likely
make her useless for any purpose Of aggression
there or elsewhere.

The Nova Scotians have sOlemnly resolved,
after debate greatly stimulated by spirit Of
annexation to contest legally their cOnfedera-
ton with Canada. Canada, in turn, is seized
by the idea of independence, and men and
presses Of high rank, and on both sides of Do
miniOn politics, are advocating her separate
nationality. With the nationalist and annex
atiOnists pulling the same way, it is not diff
cult to predict danger to the Confederation.
The hope of making the British Dominion IN
America a power in itself vests, it seems, in
the principle of naturalization.

Radical Convention and ITS wants.
ATLANTA, March Sat State Re>
publican Convention 104 counties were
represented by 23S delegates-207 whites
and 81 celored.
The convention was called to order by
Foster Blodgett. Judge Demming, of
Atlanta, was appointed temporary Presi-
dent, and Benz. Conley elected perma-
nent President.
A preamble and resolutions were adOpt~
ed, setting forth the failure 20 comply with
the reconstruction acts in recognizing
the Legislature, and requesting Congress
to reorganize the Legislature, reseat col
ored members and establish loyal gov
eminent convention, unanimously lndorse
the course Of the Governor and the inau-
gural address Of Grant and appointed a
committee to visit Washington.
The resolutions adopted denounce the
Legislature for the expulsion of colored
members, which is termed violation Of
the constitution of the State and princi~
pie of reconstruction.
Laws are recommended TeaSsembling
the constitutional convention and
for the exclusion of certain par
ties engaged in rebellion, who they
claim TO be ineligible under the four
teenth constitutional amendment, and

What insurgents Say of the situation.

what insurgents Say of the Situation,
New YORK, March 5.-The mail has
information from Cubans recently arrived
here that stories Of atrocities charged
against the insurgents are fabrications.
They have Gj 900 men in the field, Of
whom 10000 are armed, whilst the
others fight with such weapons as they
can obtain. They hold two-thirds of the
Island, so that its entire center is i'm
passable to Spanish soIdiery. They say
that the government has had no commu-
nication with Neuvitas and Puerto
Principe for four months, and that Volan>
ezada lost 800 men out of 5000 IN his
retreat from Neuyitas to Bayame, picked
off by the insurgent sharpshooters.
All we want, say the Cubans, to finish
our work, are arms and munitions for
10000 men, who fight now with boughs
of trees with forked ends and with wood
en- cannon, which are only good for three
rounds, the fourth, as a rule, bursting
them. They are ready to pay cash for
them; that there is no blockade, and once
procured, the Spanish Governor will be
driven from the Island in a month.
There are reports that privateers have
left our ports for Cuba, but the Mail is
unable to vouch for the truth of them.

was opened, iifty.nine Democratic menu
beers offered their designations, thus
breaking the quorum and bringing the
session to an end The coup de etat was
not unexpected, it having been determ-

members remained IN order to make
the calls of the House and 9TH
erwise prevent any further legis-
lation. This leaves matters in a
very bad state, not single one of the
appropriation bills have been passed, and
the benevolent institutions, prisons, etc,
are left unprovided for Had the bolt
been postponed until this afternoon, these
would have been passed, and there could
have been no danger of pressing the pasr
sage of the constitutional amendment
A caucus of the Republican members was
held Immediately, but it was found that
nothing ceuldbe done to help things. A

sPEAKEK BLAINE,s sPEECH,

The following are the remarks made
by Mr.. Blaine on the 4th inst, upon his
election as Speaker of the House of Rep,
resentatiVes
Gentlemen of the House OF Repre-
sentatiVes thank you profound y for
the great honor which your votes have
lust conferred on me. The qualification
which this signal mark of your conf
dence brings to me finds its only draw
back in the difidence with which | as
sumo the weighty duties devOlved upon
me. Succeeding to a chair made Illus
trious by such Parliamsntarians as Clay,
Stevenson, Polk, Winthrop, Banks, Grow
and Collar, may well distrust my abl-
ity to meet the just expectations OF those
who have shown me such marked par
TALLY. But relying, gentlemen, on my
honest purpose TO perform all my da-
ties faithfully and fsarlessly, and trust
ing in q large measure to the indulgence
which am sure you will always ex-
tend to me, l shall hope to retain, as
have secured your confidence, your
kindly and generous support. The forty
first Congress assembled at an auspi-
cious period in the history Of our govern
ment. The splendid and impressive csre~
moniaIs which we have just witnessed in
another part Of the capitol appropriately
symboizes the triumphs Of the past and
the hopes Of the future A great chief,
tain, whose sword, at the head Of gallant
and victorious armies, saved the republic
from ruin, has been titly called to the
highest civic honor which a grateful peO-
pie can bestOw, sustained by Congress
that SO ably represents the loyal patriot
ism and personal worth OF the nation.
The President this day inaugursted will
assure the country an administration OF
purity and prosperity, an era Of liberty,
regulated. by Law, and Of Law thor
oughly inspired Of liberty. Congratula-
ting you on the happy auguries of this
day, and invoking the gracious blessing
ofAlmighty God on the arduOus and res,
ponsible labors before you, l am now
ready to take the oath Of Office and enter
upon the discharge Of the dutiss to which
you have called me.
The oath was then sOlemnly admins
tered by Mr.. Wsshburne, Of Illinois, the
senior member Of the House.

POLITICAL.
Journalistic Oplnt0ns OF President
Grants Inaugural.

4
New YORK, March 5,-The Herald
says, after rehearsing the points o.
Grants inaugural: Here then, inclin.
ing to economy, retrenchmsnt, and a
faithful collection of the public revenue
we have the sailing directions Of the new
administration. What isN the general
prospect 1t is full of promise, prosper
lty, progress, development, and power at
home and abroad, and 80 opens the new
book of American history"
The World says the inaugural shows
too much confidence and self-suffciency,
lacks that grave aud sustained propriety
OF expression BETTING the Chief Magis-
trate. Has no original ideas, and every
thing in the message which is not fat is
crude, and it is a mere echo of the tritest
commonplace Cf the Republican press.
The Tribune says the emphatic decla-
ration Of President Grant that we should
pay our national debt to the uttermost
farthing is worth countless millions to
the labOrer, commerce, and prosperity Of
the republic. 1t says Grant will be the
champion of the Monroe doctrine and
direct his policy towards consolidating
aud extending republican institutions
npon the North American continent 1t
hopes to receive from President Grant
splendid administration
The Times says the inaugural toaehes
great wants, indicates great dunes, and
propounds great policy with distinct
ness that leaves nothing in doubt, and
Grant had something to say and he has
said it strongly and we'll ltsays ne one
doubts that Gen Grant will aim to meet
the just wishes and expectations Of the
Republican party, not by cOnceding the
dematrds of its individual members, but
by promoting the welfare of the country
AMI building up its prosperity on the
principles of the party, as the only prin-
ciples on which it can safely and perma-
nently rest.
The sun says the inaugural is q plain,
straight forward, succinct declaration of
the views which will govern the national
Executive during the next four years.
The Evening Post, speaking of the
says Grants sentences all hit
their mark. He does not mean to quar-
rel with Congress, neither does he mean
to be its creature. 1t compliments the in
augural warmly. Speaking of the cabinet,
The Post says it is by no means such
one as the politicians with a strong party |
attachment would have appointed. This |
IS to be regarded as a recommendation.
A correspondent says a gentleman was
by the President that he would
tolerate no oilers in any department Of
The government, and that the people were
90 poor to pay salaries as q mere bonus
70 professional politicians.

then of his rope, by which he drew him,
