HAVANA, April A.-Advices from Venzuela
Guesman Blanco. the present ruler Of that
Republic, has imprisoned several persons,
members of the best families of Cuaracco.
The imprisoning Of loser has caused great
sensation among all parties. 1t is feared that
many sustainers Of Blanco are abandoning
him. 0lig0rcas Is in arms and in full posses
sion of the Auture and the eastern portion Of
the Republic. Troops have been sent by the
Government to attack him.
General Pulyar is continuing his disorders
in Evarcabo, and is suspected of conspiring
against Blanco. and in favor of Generals Do
mingo, Monagns and Sutherland.
General Galan is organizing an expedition
on large scale at Cuaracco against Pulyar.
The Government Of Ouaracco tried to effect
loan from foreign houses in that city, but was
unsuccessful, the foreigners fearing that the
arbitrary and tyrannical manner of governing
will be the cause Of a speedy downfall.
BIancs has lsTisd taxes on ali and every
thing. The decree granting the privileges of
the coasting trade to foreign vessels has been
recalled. causing great CONSERVATION among
the mercantile community.
CURAoAs, April 9.--The largest portion Of
Pulides army has returned to Laguyra from
the west. where peace is to be established. 1t
is generally supposed that Guesman's own
partisans are working to commence a
rebellion to overthrow him. Quesada remains
at Curacas. having received $1,000 from Casa
nova, an emissary of the Cubans in New York.
Casanova has gone to st. Thomas. and thence
he will go to Aspinwall. there to meet the
steamer and return to New York. There are
no limitations that Gnesman will aid Quesada.

ANOTHER BAD CONGRESS.

The last Congress will be memorable
in history. The present Congress, con-
tanning, like its predecessor, working
Radical majority, gives no promise Of
good. 1t has done a more desperate
thing. 1t has made Dictator of the
President. After, as the Cincinnati En-
quirer says with much force and truth,
perpetrating the act of iniquity it was
anxious to adjourn, and Immediately
did so. 1t had fulfilled its mission 1t
had done all that was expected Of it by
its master. OF course, it did not con-
slider the financial condition of the coun-
try. 1t did not touch the tariff, whose
oppressive features are so severely felt
by the laboring masses. Not a single
tax that blossomed on that or its kim
dred measure, the Internal Revenue law,
did it disturb. The abominable duties
on salt and COAL absolute necessaries
of life, still remain as monuments Of
the rapacity of the monopolists of those
articles, and of the corruption of those
who, bought by them, have sustained the
cruel imposition so many years. There
was plenty of time to take the liberty Of
the people away, but not to take off any
of the taxes. A pretense was made in
the House to knock off some of the
sharpest edges of the tariff, but it was
all for political effect, the measure to
that end being quietly killed, as it was
known and intended it should be in the
Senate. 1t was not proposed, when new
political letters were being put on the
people, TO take any financial ones of.
The load is simply doubled, that is
all. Nothing was done in the way
Of general amnesty to the Southern
people, Of course. There were some
who did urge that. while it was proposed
to be cruel and oppressive in the future,
it might be well to be a little lenient on
the past, but the majority, seeing the in
congruity of the proposal, rejected it.
This session Of Congress, when we look
at it dispassionately, we consider the
most rascally one that was ever held in
Washington, and that is saying a good
deal. when we consider what Congresses
we have had for the last ten years. tt
legislation has been criminal and base
beyond all example. Its proceedings
have been marked by a series Of dis
graceful personalities that would scan

LONDON. April 25.-The measure proposed

posing a tax of half penny stamp on each
box containing one hundred lucifer matches,
and still higher tax on wax lights. was
passed in the House of Lords to-day. The
measure has now passed both Houses of Par
lament The ultimate view of Chancellor
Lowe in proposing the tax was to produce, if
possible, treasury results similar to those at
tanned by the principles adopted in the United
States finance department. He calculated the
next taxation to be derived to the Government
from this source at E55O.OOO. Much dissatis-
faction with the measure has been experienced
among the working classes in this city and
in various other manufacturing districts
throughput the country where the manufac
ture of lucifer matches is speciality. 1t is
feared that further demonstrations will be in

VERSAILLES, April 25.-The cannonade from
the various forts and batteries around Paris
has ceased and lull prevails.
The Assembly, embracing some OF its most
prominent members. is endeavoring to secure
the election Of Duke Damialg to the Presi-
dency Of the Republic.
The Bonapartists are also actively at work.
Numerous emissaries have been engaged at q
thorough canvass of the provinces, and every
agency has been exerted to influence their
favor of restoration of Napoleon. Those
cxertions have had their due effect. and a
powerful reaction isnow stated to DO taking
place in the provincial districts favoring
restoration.
Delegates from Lyons have had several
conferences with Theirs relative to the present
crisis and the possibility of a reconciliation.
The members of the delegation are much
dissatisfied with the ideas expressed by
Theirs on the subjects. and consider
them both unreasonable and unfair to the
Communists. They have intimated their dis
satisfaction to Theirs. and also threatened
him that IL other measures are not adopted
they would join the Communists.
Theirs announces that the forces of the Gov
eminent will be formed into two corps under
the commands Of Generals Donay and Cline

rations against the insurgents.

spEcuLArrNa oNA HUNDRED YEARS.

On the fourth day of July, 1876, theJ
are to hold an Art Exhibition in Phila
delphia. The Republic Of the United
States, it is supposed, will then be of age,
Who they are we are not informed. But
they intend to celebrate the coming OF
age of the Republic The eagle is our
emblem of liberty. 1t is our proud bird,
and of course ii will come in for share
of eloquence. Then, there is the flag OF
the Union, covered about quarter over
with stars. The residue has the happi-
ness to boast of stripes. We of the
South have not recently enjoyed the
orbs that twinkle on the national flag.
But we have slept in the same bed with
the stripes. Seriously, what do the eel
ebrationists intend to celebrated The
Declaration of independence That
document is historical. 1t is part of
the literature of America. Its principles
were once paraded in eloquence and en-
balmed in verse, But what is ii
now, and what is the Fourth of July2I
The men of 1871 do not sympathize with
the men of III. Our fathers gave to
their posterity the habess corpus. Their
posterity have trampled it under shoddy.
We have a new Constitution. 1t is a
shoddy instrument 1t is eminently
slop-shopy. 1t has no principle, and its
colors are all false. 1t will not wash
1t is sort of leaky tent to shelter
rascals from justice. We believe that
the old Hall of Independence is still
standing, and il is to us inexplicable
why the Yankees have not long ago
coined it into money. There sat George
Washington, and there thundered John
Adams. There, the palsied fingers of
Charles Carroll, of Carrollton, trembled |
and scrawled over the paper that became
the famous Declaration Of Independence. |
Those glorious men were in earnest.
They wanted no bounties, no tariffs, hut |
they wanted Liberty, Independence. One
hundred years will have worked wonders.
The men who are getting up the celebra-
ton hold that to rebel against bad
government, or attempt to overthrow
tyrant, is an oGense never to be forgiven,
either in life or in death. Albert Sidney
Johnston was pursued after death. His
associates who survived him have never
been forgiven, and never will be. And
STILL the men who make the late rebel
lion, as they term it, the occasion for
prosecuting those who engaged in it,
propose to celebrate the rebellion of
l776 in 1876. We do not declaim against
it. We do not think it wrong, but emf
nently proper to celebrate it; but we
cannot avoid the conviction that it viii, |
in the hands of the Yankees, be nothing
but speculation.
