CIHfRAL ANEnIcAN REVOLUTIONS are
immense affairs. Under date of New
York March 26 the telegraph informs ~
of the following important facts:
Advices from Guatemala state that the rev.
olution is ended, and the chiefs of the rebel
lion captured or shot.
The conspiracy against the Government
was broken up at Panama BY the arrest Of
half a dozen persons, who were subsequently
released on taking the oath of allegiance.
Nearly every old Californian who has
passed over the Isthmus of Darien or
travelled in any of the Central American

patriotism and loyalty are all the more
TO be applauded In view of the fact that,
like the Iamented Reno, he was a native
Of Virginia. Thomas was, undoubte dl,
one of the most sterling men and able
officers whom the rebellion brought
prominently before the country. His
personal character seemed to be mould
ed after the fashion of the old heroes of
our great Revolution there was some
thing stern and heroic in his compost

fa,terers and excited the admiration Of
the lovers of high and pure character.
His victory over the rebels at Nashville
WAS one of the grand decisive battles OF
the war and bis name will go down

Undoubted information is received

out date or postmark, in which the
writer expressed qualification at Pleas

by New York papers, and also request
ed the present Collector to retain as
many of his old subordinates as posi-
BILE that they were all honest men and
had no part in or knowledge of bis own
conduct. The letter 10 written in Bal.
ley's own handwriting and was dropped

lieved that Bailey is in Canada.

We GIVE LITTLE CREDIT 10 the follow
ing statement regarding proposed action
BY the Virginia Legislature:
NEW YORK, March 2S.-It is stated tina,
Trustworthy information has been commune
cation TO the President to the effect that the
Virginia Legislature is preparing to abrogate
its ratification of the Fifteenth Amendment,
by coup de main that members intend TO
rush the repeal through both Houses on the
same day without notice and without debate.
The President has declared that he intends
to issue proclamation announcing the adop-
ton of the Amendment as soon as Texas is
admitted, and that he will not wait for the
admission of Georgia.
Such action as is here indicated
would no. only b. futile aud foolish
&C; of tad faith, but would subject Viz
GINA to all the consequences of such
Iuwsrrsuted action without relieving
her at all from just what the conditions
of the Fifteenth Amendment entail
For that State has already adopted
Constitution establishing impartial suf-
frage. When Virginia was admitted to
representation under the reconstruction
policy of Congress she was thus favor.
ably considered upon the well grounded
plea, offered by The Republicans that she
having complied, in terms, to the con-
citions imposed upon her, it would be a
violation Of the principles of fair deal
Jag to refuse her application for admis-
sion and the debates showed that it
vas held to be a tenable proposition
that in the case of her possible repudia.
ton Of the implied compact Congress
possessed the rightfdl power to restore
her government to the provisional form
add debar her from the enjoyment of
rights which her own misconduct had |
forfeited. While We are inclined to |
look upon this report as lacking founda.
ton in fact, the reason for its invention
may be, that enemies of the Amend
uent think to force the President into
,he precipitate acs of proclaiming its
adoption before Texas and Georgia are
they thinking thereby to cast
a cloud upon its validity.

THs late Bounty Decision. which 10 q
matter of much interest to discharged
volunteers, is thus explained in a late
number Of the Washington Chronicle
A correspondent asks us to state the
exac, purport Of the decision recently
given by Mr.. Justice Swsyoe, of The
United States Supreme Court, in the
case of the United States vs.. Hosmer.
The decision referred to is, if We rightly
comprehend it, to the following effect :
Heretofore soldiers have been required
to prove that they had served two con-
secutive years before tLey received the
Sl0O bounty. The decision of the Court
removes this proviso, and now it is to
be understood that all those men who
enlisted under the calls for volunteers
which promised 500 bounty if they
can show an honorable discharge, NO
matter how short their term of service,
are entitled TO the 500 bounty.

The New YORK Evening Post proposes
the idea of making Alaska a penal col
ony. The telegram fails to give Us the
particulars ofthe proposition and we
are therefore at a loss to know whether
the Post suggests that merely United
States convicts shall be sent there or
that Alaska shall be made the general
receptacle for the malefactors Of the
various States. The idea is q ridiculous
and absurd one, at any rate; and it was
probably suggested for the reason tba,
the author Of it had nothing else TO write
about. We have no occasion for casting
the stigma of disgrace upon any part of
the public domain. Our territories
should be consecrated to honesty and
freedom.

COMPLIMENTS upon the promptnes.
and efficiency Of Minister belong are
Justly awarded him by the Eastern press.
Says the Washington Chronicle of March
%:
1t is apparent from the late iutelli-
gence from Yokohama that the United
States is represented by a live American
who fully realizes the Nervousness of the
crime committed by Captain Eyre, of
the British steamer Bombay, in running
down aud leaving to her fate the steam
er Oneida. 1t appears that toe Ameri-
can Minister was of the opinion that the
British Captain had not been sufficiently
punished by his sentence of suspension
for six months, and demanded his ar
rest and trial for the commission Of a
criminal offense. The simple suspension
of Captain Eyre was altogether too
light a sentence, and is SO regarded by
all right-minded men. no matter what
their nativity. Our Minister in Japan
is entitled 10 the thanks of the enlight-
ened world for his attempt to bring to
Justice the man who disgraced his uni
form, his nation, and his race, BY an act
of cold blooded atrocity, for which We
cannot readily recall parallel.

New YORK, March Is.
The Naval Surveying party Of the Darien
Canal expedition, Capt Selfridge, left Aspin-

aud cut their ~ay through the woods from .
point $50 miles east of Aspinwall. They
were cutting their way to the headwatsrs Of

They returned to the ship over the same
route in one day. They were prepa ring to
survey another route 10 the neiyhborhood of
the same river. The native Indians were not
hostile, but extremely timid.

| International Tournament ct Billiards
| From the New York Times, March III
Mr.. Michael Phelan will to day forward
to the players of England and France .
liberal proposition for an international
contest at billiards, to determine the
championship of the world. His idea
is to play the three. ball game, with win
ming hazards allowed, on n four poke,
table or, if that is not agreeable, and
the players interested should fail to
agree upon some other game, he, him
self. will name one that, AS il has never
yet been played, will be as fair for the
representatives of one country as Of an
other. A better test of skill. it is
thought, can tie had at the new game
than at any of the existing ones. In
addition to a suitable emblem, Mr..
Phelau proffers at least 81 900 AS the
first prize, and it is believed that the
total amount 10 he con ended for will
rrsch $4,000. In case the tourney
takes place in public, the receipts are
to be apportioned to the contestants AS
mileage The condition is that the
games be played in this city All the
international contests thus far have
taken place on the other side it is about
time one TRANSFERRED here. Should the
proposition be favorabiy received BY the
foreign players, it is thought France
will be represented by Francis Abassy.
England. by VIM. Cook, Jr and Cnnaua
by Joseph Dion. As the games will be
for the championship of the world any
country may send one representative
IN order to determine who shall repre-
sent the United States, preliminary
of American players will be
instituted as soon as the style of the
game 10 be played for the championship
has been decided upon. One Of the fol-
lowing named experts, all Of whom are
natives, is certain to represent this
