EMANCIPATION IN BRAZIL.
scene In the Parliament OF the Final
Passage of the Emancipation.

4 letter in the Courier deS EtdtS LHts,
deted Rio de Janciro, 9th of September,
describes the scene which took place in the
Parliament upon the final vote on the act
for the abolition Of slavery. All the speak
crs who had intimated a wish to express
their minds on the subject, having spoke, the
President Of the Senate, NJ dc Abaste,
asked if any one had anything more to say.
Receiving no answer, he requested the Sen
ators to indicate, by rising, whether they
were ready to vote on the main question,
when a large majority declared themselves
ready. One of the small minority who kept
their seats was NJ. Lacharias, who through
ont the agitation and debate of the question,
had proved himself a steadfast believer in
the right of slavery, and who had assailed
the abolitionists with cpigrams and sar-
casms for their blindness in favoring the
impious project Of emancipation. The bill
was then put to a final vote when nearly
all the Senators rose to their feet. The
President, in firm voice, and with a cOun-
finance radiant with satisfaction, which he
did not try to conceal, then declared that the
bill of emancipation had passed. These
words were hardly pronounced when deaf
ening acclamations arose from the galleries,
whore a crowd, consisting chiefly Of elegant
ly dressed ladies, were waiting, silent and
attentive for the event. After the Presi-
dents announcement all sprang to their
feet; Gan immense WHAT isaei from every
breast: every one waved a nat or hand
kcrchief, and a veritable shower of flowers
raincd down on the head-alas for the
most part bald-of the honorable Senator's
The writer then mentions an illustration OF
the 'irony of chance "a magnificent
crown of roses descended and rested on the
hairless skull of that very VI. Lacharias,
the stern reactionary and passionate par
tisan Of slavery, referred to above. Quiet
was only restored by the threat Of the
President to clear the hall. The CORES
pondent says that outside Of the Legislative
body the enthusiasm excited by the act had
free course. In the crowds assembled on
the occasion the general JOY was expressed
in shaking of hands and III the exchange of
fluctuations.

Talk for the Bourhons.

The following from the New York
Express commends itself to the readers
attention.:
There are good many things in the
world which we don't like, but which
we can't help; and, upon the whole.
think it the wisest thing under
the circumstances to make the best
Of them. We cannot persuade every-
body to think that our own church or
party, creed or profession, is the very
best Under the sun; but then we have
lived long enough not to quarrel with
our neighbors or strangers because of
the difference, and in Cur church and
party we have learned to respect an
honest difference of opinion in regard
to men, sermons, political thoughts, or
anything relating to eitheyes AYE came
to the conclusion that tl!eges, wild will
live ard move when was much hid the
festpi the living geneNO or s2oks from
the stage. WhereioHoh. Jay to
our fellow-men: 1t is we1 Dust to
to be a little charitable as those
who take the New Departure, and to-
wards those who do not. We choose
to travel that way, because we have no
power to remove mountains, nor to
overcome what seems to US the incvita-
Bile. There is enough to make the
strongest bond of political union with
out breaking our forces in fighting the
inevitable. For a long course of years
the United States Senate is hopelessly
radical, unless, as is probable, men fol
low in the footsteps of men like Schurz
and Tipton, and others, and take their
departure from those who have faith
only in centralized, consolidated and
military government. There is hope
that they will so depart; but if they
should not, then room is left us to hope
for amendment in Conservative House
of Representatives, in n Conservative
President, and in more Conservative
Senate than we have had for ten years
past. Let the Bourbons, therefore,
while they 60 their own way, allow a
little room and indulge in little chari-
ty for those who while yielding moth
ing to mere innovation and destruction,
are ready to stand by the Constitution

TERRIBLE STATE oE AFFAIRS soUTI

TERRIBLE STATE oE AFFAIRS SOUTH.
Beside the real testimony given before
The KukiuX Committee, there is good
deal Of documentary &c pnrte evidence
in the shape of letters that have come
up from the South addressed 10 differ
ent members. showing the terrible con-
dition in which the States have been
plundered by the rule of Radicals, car
petbaggers and scalawags. The infor-
nation from Mississippi, especially, pre-
sents an appalling picture Of oppressive
taxation, and no prospects of relief ex-
cert by remedial legislation. Thousands
of tie best citizens of the State are
doomed to witness the sacrifice of what
little property they have saved since the
war, all because the last Legislature did
not represent the bona-f fde-taX-payers
Of the State but was controlled by a
ring of corruptionists and eXtoltioners.
This is perhaps not exactly the sort of
testimony the majority of the Kuklux
Committee want, but it has its effect in
showing the actual condition of por-
tions of the South, and how the people
are governed down there. The only
wonder seems to be that they forbear SO
well.
