The Annual Fast.

This day, in accordance with a revered
custom of our fathers, the Chief Magis.

Acknowledgement of our dependence on
God" This day being Good Friday, is
also observed by the Catholic and Episco-
pal Churches as fast, in memory of the
Saviour's sufferings on Friday of Passion
Week 1t is called Good Friday in al
lusion to the benefit conferred on the
world by his death.
1t is therefore appropriate that the
people abstain from their usual employ
ments, and assemble to engage in peni-
tential services, heartily confessing their
sins as individuals and communities to
Almighty God, and seeking their for
giveness, asking that He will inspire in
our hearts lively gratitude for all His
mercies, past aud present. Invoking also
the Divine guidance for our rulers that
they may have wisdom, love, Justice

either Sufficient time or opportunity to in
vestigate several of the most important
questions bearing upon the subject of an

Hayti and Cabral, and he desired to make
this qualification of the report so decided
as to shield the Commission fully. This
request created great CONSERVATION and
for time it looked as if no agreement
upon the report was possible. AT last,
however, Mr. Howe gave way, and the re-
port was signed. So far as those who ac-
companied the expedition have been able
to ascertain, the main points are regarded
as a very fair report There is little, how

most of the matter embodied in it has al

Fast Day.

Almighty God, before Thy Throne
Thy mourning people bend:
'Tis on Thy pardoning grace alone,
Our prostrate hopes depend.
Dark judgments, from Thy heavy hand
Thy dreadful power display;
Yet mercy spares our guilty land,
And still we live to pray.
How changed, alas are truths divine,
For error, guilt and shame;
What impious numbers, bold ia sir,
Disgrace the Christian name.
o turn us, turn us, mighty Lord,
Convert US by Thy grace;
Then shall our hearts obey Thy word,
And see again Thy face.
Then, should depressing foes invade,
We will not sink in fear;
Secure of all-suficient aid,
When God, our God, is near.

Captain w. G.. Temple.

The New York Tribune says: The
United States frigate Tennessee left Key
West at noon on Thursday, March 23d,
and reached Charlestown early on Sum
day following. Although strong south
west wind was blowing at the time the
Commissioners decided to land, and
pilot-boat was engaged to take the party
ashore. As the waves were running very
high, considerable danger and difficulty
attended the transfer of the party to the
pilot-boat. They were all, however, finally
placed on board and departed for Charles.
ton, while the Tennessee at once set sail
for New York. She was much delayed
by succession of nertherly gales, but
rode out the storm without injury. Capt.
Temple tried her in wearing and tacking,
and is reported to have pronounced her
good sailer and perfectly secure. The
greatest trouble was experienced from
heated journals, which delayed her at
least so hours. She reached the Quar-
rantine ground, New York Harbor, at 10
o'clock Saturday morning, he stock of
coal being completely exhausted, and
dropped anchor off the Battery, in the
North River, yesterday morning. She
will proceed down the Bay to Ellis's
Island to-day to discharge her powder,
and will then go into the Navy Yard for
repairs to her engine. 1t is not considered
probable that the Tennessee will be put
out of commission. She now has on
board stores for three years cruise,
although she is provisioned for six month
It is claimed that the discharging of all
these stores and the transferring of the
crew would be attended with great ex-
pense.
The following was rendered to Capt.
Temple when the Commissioners left the
Tennessee at Charleston
The Commissioners of the United States 10
Ssnto Domingo, before leaving the Tennessee,
desire to place on their minutes the following
memorandum:
We feel in duty bound TO record our hearty
thanks to Capt VIM. G. Temple of the United
States steamer Tennessee, for the admirable man
ner in which he has discharged the many and
with our mission. His foresight in planning the
different parts of the voyage SO that the greatest
advantage could be taken Of all the time at our
disposal, his skill and prudence in the manage
ment of his ship his care in regard to everything
of substantial Importance, and his Independence
Of mere formalites. his tact in dealing with many
difficulties which, arising from the unexpected
number of persons of different aims and pursuits
embarked in his ship, and which. under COM
mander Of less fitting quality, might have led to
constant i'll feeling, and his courtesy under all
circumstances, have earned both our gratitude
and respect. and it is with pleasure hat we here
record our sincere thanks to him and our best
wishes for his welfare.

Washington Notes.

A savage onslaught was made on
Cen. Butler, on Wednesday, by the op'
ponents of his measures for the suppress
sion of the Ku- u-Klux, which seemed to be
a preconcerted movement. Gen. Butler
reply was in his finest style, and perfectly
overwhelmed his adversaries.
The message of the President has
been read with great satisfaction by al
most all men of prominence in the party,
and most all who have opposed the Presi-
dents course upon the question of annex
alton are loud in its praise. The expected
recommendations for an appropriation to
meet the payment due on the lease OF
SAmana has been withheld for the present,
and may now come in as a separate mat
ter.
The bill which Mr.. Shellabarger in
troducd in the House as a substitute for
the pending Ku -Klux bill is the result of
conferences with three Republicans who
are opposed to the sections which author
iza the President to suspend the writ of
habeas corpus and to proclaim martial
law. The members from Vermont are
united against such extreme provisions,
and Judge Poland and Mr.. Willard are
understood to be the trainers of the new
bill. 1t was the intention of Judge Shell
labarger to call vote on the new bill as
an amendment Thursday afternoon, and
the previous question Immediately after
wards OF the passage of the amended
bill there seems to be but little doubt.
There have been some threats of filibus-
tering on the part of the Democrats, but
such action is not generally apprehended.
The San Domingo Commissioners
took their report to the President on
"Wednesday at o'clock. 1t was i'm
mediately inclosed with the message and
started for the Capitol. The Senate had
gone into executive session, but opened
its doors at once to read the message. AT
the close of the reading a scene of wild
disorder followed, caused by Morrill, OF
Vermont rising to speak on a motion to
print. Mr.. Stewart objected in loud tones
and, bringing down his fist on the desk
declared the Senate had had enough talk
on the subject of san Domingo, and there
should be no more. Mr.. Conkling was
talking loudly and objectipg to any re
marks; Mr.. Harlan was doing the same
and Mr.. Edmunds at the same time in
sistiny that his colleagues should be heard
Mr.. Trumbull expressed his modification
that such scene could occur in the Sen
ate. The whole thing was quite in con
trast with the moderate and conciliatory
message of the President Finally it wa
agreed that Mr.. Morrill, should speak OF
Friday, but that no other should follow
except by unanimous consent.
The report of the Commission wa
not read in either House. The two meet
ings of the Commissioners resulted in bu
few changes A closing paragraph, setting
forth the advantages to Hayti and Sar
Domingo of annexation, was inserted il
place of the one expressing an opinion il
favor of the United States adopting th
policy of annexation. One of the mos
significant meetings held was that O
tuesday afternoon. DR.. Howe came i,

THE HATCHET STORY.-Alf Burnett,
the humorous lecturer and singer, has
given droll paraphrase of George Wash
ington and the hatehet story. He says
General Butler and Wendell Phillips
were in the garden of the White House,
waiting to see the President. They were
kept there for some while, when Butler,
picking up hatchet, began cutting the
trees to beguile the time. Grant soon af-
ter appeared, and asked, "Who has been
hacking these trees?" Butler answered,

MILK.-The plan of shipping milk from
this place for the New York market, over
the Harlem Extension Railroad, appears
TO be growing in favor among milk pro-
ducers. 1t has already been demonstrat-
ed that the milk can be carried the entire
distance with but slight risk of souring,
If proper attention is given to cooling IL
before shipment Daring the past fifteen
days 292 cans of milk have been sent over
the line, and out of this number only one
can was found to be sour on its arrival ia
New York. The milk received over this
line by the consignees, Messrs. Cummings.
Baker 81 Co., stands in high favor among
cnnsnmers in New York.

both clubs. At 3:4s game was called, and admd the
