From the State House.

BosToN, Jan. s, 1872.
The action of the legislature to-day can be
told in single paragraph, and that very short
one. The announcement of the standing com
mittees had been expected but neither President
Coolidge nor Speaker Sanford were ready, and
after sitting few minutes both branches ad-
iOurned. A couple of petitions were received
in the senate, one of which was from
Geo. f. Homer, cont 5sting the seat now held
by Gen. Whitney, of the first Norfolk district.
This was referred 10 a special committee to be
appointed. Mr.. Hale presented the report of the
joint special committee on the governors mes
sage, recommending the reference of the larger
portion of the address TO the several appropriate
committees, with the addition of four special
committees on the subjects of the liquor law,
state police, woman suffrage and labor question,
each ofsald committees TO consist of three on the
part of the senate and eight on the part OF the
house. The report was accepted.
In the house the same report was read and
accepted, and an order was introduced for the
printing of five thousand extra copies of the
governors message, for the use of the house of
representatives.
At the request of Mr.. Andrews, Governor
Washburn's private secretary, there is to be no
appointment of a military secretary. Mr.. A.
does not care for the title OF colonel which be-
longs to it,

WONDERS AT EASTER IsLAND.-ln the mid
die of the Pacific ocean, three thousand miles
distant from the nearest continent, rises Easter
| island, Astounding with remains of a remote an
| tiquity, which have interested and perpleXed a
| party oil SaYantS who recently visited Them
| The island is about forty miles in circumference;
it is barren, without trees, destitute OF resources
| and inhabited by few savages, who lead the
most miserable existence imaginable.
| But upon tins narrow strip OF land, so barren
| and unprOductiye, the eye of the explorer be-
| holds forest of gigantic stone statues, Of the
| origin and meaning of which the race dwelling
| around know absolutely nothing The smallest
of these Statues measure thirty feet and few
| attain the incredible dimensions of fifty feet.
| Some rcpose upon cycopean platforms; the
| greater portion of them wear crowns ABOUT six
feet in height, formed upon volcanic tuta, which
| have evidently been placed upon these statues
| after their erection. The ioreheads OF these
statues are retreating and the mouths promin-
| emit which indications may possibly reveal the
race who constructed them.
| As regards the workmanship displayed upon
them it is rude and clumsy, although not desti-
TUE OF character and expression. The Qucs-
tons concerning them, presented for solution
are: What do they represent? whose handiwork
are they? and how came they there? There ale
no metals on Easter island, not even flint; only
a few hard pieces of stone are found capable Of
being fashioned into axes, with which, perhaps,
these mysterious statues are hewn. The stone
Of which they are composed is found neither
upon this island nor any of the surrounding
islands; their number, dimensions, and charac-
ter, forming a strange contrast 10 the narrow
ness and poverty of the place wherein they were
constructed.
How could this barren island have nourished
race of men capable of raising such noun
tains? Where is this racer What country do
they still inhabit2 In reply TO these specula-
tons, several scientific men of great authority
hazard the opinion that the island in question is
only one Of the SUBMITS of the submerged con-
tnent which geological evidence proves at one
time to have occupied the whole part of the Pa
cific which is now called Polynesia. Several
also show grounds that the statues in question
present Mexican physiOgnomy, and may have
been the work of one of the kindred races of
that people. Several of these monuments are
now on their way to the British museum, where,
it is hoped, additional Ii ght will be thrown upon
them.

The Governor on the Liquor Question.
Governor Washburn's address, was that of an
honest, independent and sagacious man, who
does not shrink from giving full expression to
his deliberately formed opinions. He is as far
as possible from being a trimmer, either of that
class which is constitutionally incapable of posi-
tive convictions or of that which, through fear
or policy, can be induced to conceal or disguise
them. The address was, in its distinctness and
caDdor, just what his friends who knew him
well expected, but it seems to have astonished
and almost frightened o hers, among them some
who do not seriously disagree with him but who
have been accustomed to regard adroitness as
one of the greatest merits political address can
have. The Boston Advertiser says that those
who listened to the message ''felt as if a strong
northwest wind had been blowing over Beacon
hill; there was rustling in the branches and
shaking THE roots" This smile very happily
represents the general feeling, and this was
agreeable or otherwise, according to the moral
vigor of those whom the blast reached. To the
strong and healthy a brisk, bracing air is ex-
hilaratina; but TO those whose constitutions are
relaxed and enleebled it brings extreme discom-
fort, if not danger
What the governor says about the liquor law
has caused more surprise than anything else,
and none have been so greatly astonished by it
as the members of the prohibitoIy party, who
allowed their organs 10 insinuate during the
canvass that he had made a bargain will the
liquor sellers, and to stigmatize him as the can
didate Of the rum interest. They are undeceived
now, and are possibly ashamed of their injus-
tice TO man whose purity and independence
they could not appreciate Those people were
Startled too who have learned to believe that
the ascendancy of the republican party in this
state depends upon deXterous system of com
promise between the prohibitionists and the
liquor interest. Governor Washburn does not
belong 10 that school of politicians. He evi-
dently believes that is safe for men and parties
boldly TO ayow their convictions aud live up to
them. Ensign Stebbins' position, Sin favor OF
the law and agin its enforcement" is intolerable
and inc0mprehensible TO him. Just as incom-
prehenSibe to some other people is the govern.

only regard his remarks on this subject as sen

spain ana the United stntes.

The relations between our )yernment and
that of Spain are discussed in the Washington
dispatches and letters; but nothing satisfactory
is told, and, probably, not much is known by
those who write and talk OF the matter with SO
much eagerncss and fuency. There are certain
facts however, which challenge attention and
appear to have some significance.
In the first place, our government has sent the
frigate Congress to Port,au-Prince, to take pos
session of the Hornet and send her TO New York.
Ii was high time to do this; in fact, it should
have been done some months ago. The Hornet
carries the American e u and has correct papers;
therefore, the blockade to which she has been
subjected by the Spaniards is an outrage which
should not be overlooked nor tolerated. The at
tempt to seize this vessel has no warrant what
ever beyond suspicion, and this can not excuse
it, When she arrives in New York, her Spanish
accusers will have an opportunity to show the
grounds of their suspicion" and make out
case against her, if they can. But their attempt
to seize her is an uniustifable outrage, and we
are glad that our government has at last de-
cided to rescue her from their blockade.
