st. Patriclk,s Day.

We have no doubt that the festival of ST.
Patrick will be celebrated to-day, whether il
rains or shines, with all the earnestness which
our Irish fellow citizens always can command
when the 18th Of March comes around, or
when any other sentiment prevails which
recalls the memories, the sufferings and the
aspirations of 'sold Ireland" 1t is pecu-
liarity in the Irish people that they never
forget the traditions and never abandon the
idea of the nationality of their native country,
no matter in what quarter of the globe they
may be located. 1t is peculiar, also, that Of
all people who live and labor in exile from
their own soil they are the most demonstrative
in their devotion to the land Of their birth.
This feeling exists through two and three
generations, SO that citizens who are tho
roughly Americanized ''all the year round"
become as thoroughly Hibernicized on st.
Patrck's Day. 1t is not a bad trait, after all.
A man who does not love the mother who bore
him is not likely to be scrupulously faithful in
all his other domestic relations.
We hope that the outdoor celebration to-
day in honor of good old st. Patrick will
be as pleasant as the weather will permit, and
we trust that nothing will occur in the line of
march to disturb the equanimity of the cele-
brants or cause any trouble, such as occurred
a few years ago, and which might have hap
pened in any procession by the effervescence
of hasty temper. However, we anticipate
nothing of this kind to-day. AS for the even-
ing banquets-at Delmonico's and the Hoff-
man House--of course ''the feast of reason
and the flow of soul" will be represented in
the full spirit of the poet. Celtic wit
will sparkle more brightly than the
wines on the table. Pathos, poetry
and patriotism will bubble up as high as Par
nassus, and probably may take flight little
higher according as the oraters are inspired.
Upon the whole, the natal day of the Christian
Saint who, whether he was Scot, Gaul or
an Irishman, implanted the faith of His Mas
ter on the soil of Ireland, is likely to be cele-
brated here with all the honors which his exu-
berant and devoted children, our Irish fellow
citizens, know so well how to pay to the
Saint, the shamrock and the old green sod We
wish those who join in the festivities of to-
day good luck and abundant enjoyment

THE SENATORIAL CAUCUS OF REPUBLICANS
was in session for several hours yesterday,
and determined TO favor the appointment Of
Joint committee Of the two houses to investi-
gate Ku Klux eutrages during the recess. It
was quite evident that most of the Senator'S
wanted an early adjournment, and no anti
Ku Klux me asure has any chance Of passage
except the one just determined upon. 1t is,
after all, probably the most sensible way in
which to settle the vexed question of South
ern Outrages.

Mr.. HORACE DAY has very substantial
Idea about rapid transit He says unless
New York has her three lines of rapid transit
soon her seaboard rivals will draw off her
commerce. We must have one line on Broad
way and one each on our river fronts.

intended this work for the colorcd races. 1t
would be dclusion aud cruel to induce white
people to go to st. Domingo as field laborers,
for their health must break down and the race
become enfeebled and degenerate.
Are we prepared then, !!e ilqtggoauce
Chinese coolies and to admit them as citizens
Of our country? We could not and would not
hold them to forced labor, and, according to
the theory and operation of our institutions,
we could not keep any people deprived of
civil and political rights and equality. Shall
we make, or rather keep, ST. Domingo negro
State? Is such an element, particularly at a
distance, desirable as component part of our
society and social and political system
Should we be prepared even for this where is
the negro labor to come from? Our own
negroes would not be disposed to go; they
love their old homes too well. They cannot
be induced to 60 to Liberia, where there is
republic Of their own race. Besides, we
could hardly afford to part with them from the
South. Their labor there is most valuable in
cultivating cotton and other products. The

Domingo to us is one of labor. But,
viewing the matter of annexation in a
social and political point of view,
there are very grave objections to it.
We could not take in the present population
as citizens-a semi-barbarous people, who are
fast going lack to African barbarism-with-
out danger to ourselves, or, at least, without
more trouble than they and the island are
worth. The cost of governing st. Domingo
and the fatal effects of the climate upon our
troops ought to be considered also, to say
nothing of the chances of war with the fierce
Haytiens, who are bitterly opposed to annexa-
ton, or with the factions in the Dominican
republic ITSELF No, this question ought not
to be decided upon party political ground,
but with broad statesmanlike view as to
what is best, not for the Dominicans, but for
the people of the United States and for the
purity and perpetuation of our own social and
glorious institutions.

Last week Tuesday evening there was
a surprise party at Mr.. Seth S. Stebbns.
The weather being unlavorable, many lost
the pportunity of meeting n score of their
friends who greatly enjoyed the evening
party.
Friday evening of last week, Master
Marshal w hthed on his return from Bern
ardston, was much surprised to find from
forty to fifty of his young friends in the
h ouse to give him joyful welcome. A
bountiful collation., maple sweet and kiss
es were INDUCED in 10 their satisfaction.
and all enjoyed the usual games and mer-
ry making.
The young people of Vernon made ar
rangements TO surprise Hattie E., daughter
of Mr.. Dwight johnson, upon her seven
teenth birthday, Wednesday Goth, but a
wind waited the news, so they, bent on sur
prise, made their appearance on Tuesday
eve, in order to welcome the first hour of
her natal anniversary. AT this hour over
sixty young friends were gathered around
the festive board, which was filled to over
flowing with choice food, and joy and
mirth resounded through the house. Soon
fair youths and maidens departed, wishing
her the happy return of many more.
