This is the last of CatacazY.

-
Catacazy did not ''shake hands" with the
President on Introducing Alexis, as it has
been reported. The reason for this is
supposed to be that his hands were 'too
fulI' already.
Catacazy hopes that his retirement will
discourage the accumulation of any more
bottles of Railways Ready Relief at the
State Department.
Oatacazys successor is not GorlOf, for
Gorloff is no more to be compared to Cata-
cay than Satyr to Hyperion.
Catacazy is q man of the world, and a
keen observer withal Witness his toast at
the Annapolis banquet;
81 drink the health of one of the co-ordi-
nate, and certainly one of the most pow
erful members of the American Govern
ment-- Their FairnC sscs, the Women of
America"
o, terrible satire o, whitening sar-
casm
Coordinate branch of the Goyern-
ment y and why simply coordinate
Bless your heart, CatacaZy! they ore o
mighty sight more than coordinate"
branch they are the power behind the
throne, gaeater than the throne itself, else
why is Catacazy banished and Mrs. Cata-
cay set free from daily contact with the
things she loaths?
CatacaZy will remain beside the Duke
during his stay in this country to explain
the enigmas of American etiquette, and
unfold to him all the marvels of American
civilization.
When Catacazy returns to his cottage
by the Ural," or wherever his cottage may
be, he will write history entitled The
Secret Springs of Washington Diplomacy,
or Petticoat Absolutism in America"
And this leads us to end not at all as we
began, for it is evident we are no more
done with CatacaZy than Catacazy is done
with us.-N. Y. Commercial ADVERTISER

SENATE.

MONDAY, Nov. 27.
The Senate met at 10 o'clock, President
Warren in the chair.
Price, col, again offered the KukluX reso-
buttons returned to him on Saturday, and
entered into statement of their contents.
The clerk proceeded to read the resolu-
tons and had progressed till the name of
Senator was reached, connected with al
legged KukluX crimes, when
Mr.. Robbins, of Davidson, objected to the
further reading of the paper, it being mani
testify disrespectful.
Mr.. Graham, of Orange, said it never had
been the custom of the Senate or the House
to permit its members to be libeled under
pretense of the right Of petition. lie dwelt
at considerable length on the character OF
the present paper which called for the eX-
pulsion of members without a particle of
proof ofAany kind to justify it. The standing
of members of the Assembly was not to be
affected by idle rumors from without; and
Mr.. Graham instanced the case of Mr..
Dixon, (wh I'm he would not and did not
name,) who occupied a seat in the other
branch of the Assembly, and at its close
was elevated to a seat in Congress, upon
whom the charge of murder rested, and
whose case was then pending in the courts,
and yet no notice was takern of the matter
by legislature largely republican. They
took the proper view of the case and pre-
sumed, as the law does, that the person
charged was innocent till proved guilty.
Mr.. Graham offered resolution in regard
to such papers as that before the Senate.
Mr.. McClammy supposed from the fact
that the memorial had been Withdrawn for
examination as to its character that 1t was
respectful and hence he offered no OppoSi-
ton to it's being read until it reached a
point where its language was clearly disres-
pectfm. Now he objected to the reception
of the memorial, if for no other reason, be-
cause it contained charges against members
Of the other branch of the Assembly, in re-
gard to which the Senate had nothing to
do. The question might be presented, by
q proper course Of proceeding, whether the

The interest on the called $40 bonds,
being the balance of the first series of the
issue Of 1862, ceases to-day. The payments
upon the new 5 per cents. have come in
with unexpected promptness. The coin
needed for the payment Of the six per cents
is already provided. 1t is not anticipated
however, that very large proportion of
coin will be required for redemption of the
S1OOOO0,OO0 Of six per cents. $S,OOO,OOO
in gold have been paid on account of cash
redemptions, which amount covers all the
bonds presented for cash payment on both
foreign and domestic account. The most
Of the $10O,O00,OOO Of 5-2O's called in for
December list, have been taken up by the
American and European Syndicate. These
will be used in settlement for the new SIS.
1t is therefore improbable that very large
amount of additional gold will be required
to close the transaction.
