HAVING acquired the Island of San
Juan after much diplomatic pother, the
next thing is to see that it is properly
taxed. We have not heard Of any very
great enthusiasm among the inhab-
itants at becoming regularly and legally
citizens of the United States. If there
was any flag raising, any firing Of can
non, and any lighting of fagots, it is
probable that they will begin now 10
see the matter in q more sober and
serious light. As the cost Of glory, &C
cording to SIDNEY SMITH, is taxes,
so the penalty of the pro-
lection of the "broad egis OF the
American flag" results in the same dis.
agreeable coucomitant. This fly,
therefore, having walked, or been
forced, into our parlor, we Immediately
proceed to make the most Of him.
The Secretary of the Treasury has
issued an order to the nearest United
States collector, directing him to treat
the Island of San Juan as embraced in
his collection district, and, further, to
take proper measures to see that the
revenue laws are observed.

THs ninth census is accompanied by
a series Of maps OF q novel kind, and OF
considerable value. Does the traveller
want to know the preponderating
nationality of the part Of the country
through which his journey liesF de
has only to look at one Of these maps
The density of the German population
is marked by various shades of brown,
which we cannot but think unhappily
chosen. 1t is true that it is the color
of their lager, their meerschaums and
their pretzels. But our German fell
lov-citizeas have soul above these
things now, and in view OF late wars, q
decided Prussian blue would have been
distinctive, and at the same time COM
plimentary. The Irish settlers are dis
tinguished, as natives Of the Emerald
Isle should be, by different shades Of
green, varying from very green to the
most delicate tints. The colored peo-
ole cast a black and sombre cloud,
ominously shaded in the Southrrn
States. The different shades Of these
colors give the density of the popula-
ton in various sections so that an ap-
proximate estimate OF numbers may be
formed at a glance.

Editors of the Register:
This mornings Intelligencer has an
editorial headed "The Bridge Aban-
doned," which is without foundation
in fact. There was q meeting of the
Directors of the Wheeling and Lake Erie
railroad, in Steubenville, on the 10th
inst, but it was callel before, and with
out reference to, the action of the
Council of the City of Wheeling. 1t
was called for specific purpose, not re-
latiug to Wheeling, the bridge or any,
thing of the kind, nor was any busi-
ness transacted or any question DIS
cussed having reference to the matters
named. That the Board, myself, or
any other person, Of whom | have any
knowledge, ever entertained any
fraudulent pretense" to deceive your
people is equally untrue. The purpose
to aid the bridge has always been q
sincere ore, and if the ntelligenesr will
consult it's own files it will find that
the proposition always has been to pro
vide for the bridge bv the issue of first
aud not second mortgage bonds, and this
ia the inference from the resolution Of
the Board if fairly construed. The
theory that with the bridge connection
the road could float $1,000 per mile OF
first mortgage bonds in addition and al
as good rates was first advanced, as
will appear in the columns Of the Intel
Hocncer. can only report that our de-
sire is to come to Wheeling, over the
bridge, if Wheeling will allow us. and
does not throw insuperable obstacles in
the way. We are not so strong as to
do everything without help, nor 40 weak
as to abandon the road if Wheeling
refuses aid.
Notwithstanding my statement to the
Railroad Committee, the Inteligencer
states that the actual subscriptions to
the road are much less than 100000.
| can but repeat that the actual sub
scription is more than 479,9 $50, as
reported by me, besides the amount of
$465, 900 voted by Ohio municipalities
aud the $500. 900 proposed by Wheeling.
A number OF other statements and
differences have appeared in the Inteli-
qencsr, which are without foundation,
but which l have not time nor inclina-
ton now to notice.
send this correction to your paper.
supposing the Intslligsnesr would not
insert it, as on a former occasion took

Editors of the Register:


DR.. Logan evidently became confused
while writing his reply to my article in
your paper, a few days ago, about the
city debt. He sets out by saying that
the report of the Finance Committee
had been mutiIated aud garbled" by
me to suit my purpose, and in 9 few
sentences after this Acknowledges, that
with the exception OF " some smaller
items Of Indebtedness. the aggregate OF

The newly-elected Senator from
South Carolina, j. j Patterson, halls
from Pennsylvania, and is said to be a
protege of Cameron. His arrest for
bribery. i'm medistely after his election,
is thus explained BY a Washington
special in the Commercial:
Patterson went to the State Capital
OF South Carolina with some fifty thou.
sand dollars and gave out that he in
tended to spend that amount upon his
election, of course among lis friends
Patterson's plethorie purse frightened
Elliott and Sawyer. the other promi-
nent candidates. to such degree
that they did not make any fight. IT
appears, however, that Elliott, who is
ambitious to be Senator, put up job
on Patterson, to use common phrase,
in conjunction with some o. his negro
brethren 10 the Legislature, with view
to disqualify him for the position.
Elliott advised his colored friends in
the Legislature to take Patterson's
money and then turn States evidence
against him. Patterson, it is alleged.
paid at the rate of $500 to $1,000 each
for votes, and altogether his election
cost him about $4,000. As soon as
the election was over the negroes pro-
ceeded to carry out the programme as
prepared by Elliott and dozen OF
them made affidavit to the effect that
they had been bribed. Pstterson's
arrest followed. A curious circum-
stance of the election was that James
L. Orr was warm friend OF Patterson.
II is stated that Senator Cameron urged
upon the President the nomination OF
Orr for the Russian mission, and that
the consideration, so far as Orr was
concerned, was that he should help Pat
terson. The impression here is, that
the negro Elliott will, after all, be
elected Senator"

Mr.. BEssEMER, Of England, is SCI
entific man of no mean attainments,
and of 80 practical turn Of mind that
be has made an immense fortune by his
new process of manufacturing steel.
But Mr.. BEssEMER is mortal, and has
been seasick, and didn't like it, at which
we do not wonder. Many persons have
experienced the same qualms, however,
without thinking Of remedy, unless,
indeed, it be brandy, or creosote, or ice
bags to the spine, all OF which are ag.
gravating humbugs. Mr.. BEssEMEE
soon perceived that instead Of expert
meuting with his own internal arrange
ments, by trying to pacify them with
creosote or brandy, he would have
more prospect of success it he tried
those of the ship itself. So he has in
vented swinging cabin, that is said to
act on land like a charm, Tor on land
only has it yet been tested. Mr.. BEs-
sENER has tried it in his garden, at
Denmark Hill, near London, and got
up as good an imitation of a storm at
sea as was possible by machinery. A
London paper says;
There was not more motion than In a
railway carriage when the couplings are
not we'll fastened up, aud Mr.. Bessemer
explained that the slight grunts we
heard and the trivial vibrations We felt
were due to the length of the hydraulic
pipes, by means Of which the sea mo-
lion was obtained. But that as broad
tact the effect OF rolling a. sea has been
disposed OF, it is impossible to doubt
after the experience of yesterday.
