VIOLATED PLkpaEs.


The first law passed after President
Grant came into Office, was the act OF
March Is, 1869, which provided that
''the United States solemnly pledges
its faith to make provision at the ear
liest practical period for the redemp-
tion of United States notes in coin"
How has that pledge been redeeEned?
Has any effort of any kind been made
to meet the solemn obligation thus i'm
Cured /? On the contrary, is it not no-
torious that reissue of S44, ,OO0O of
this very paper, already paid, is con-
templated, and part of ithas already
been set afoat, to be followed by vast
additions to the volume of bank cir
calation? In view of this agreement
is it not sublimely ridiculous to be
told that the Secretary of the Treas
ury has actually paid out $4,000 in sill
yer to his own clerks? If that is not
redemption through faith, we should
like to have some theological doctor
mention what is. The promise and
the performance, however, are quite
on par with every other act of the
administration.

THE Chinese labor system on the
sugar plantations of Louisiana has not
proved the success that was hoped for
it. In the years 1870 and 1871 of the
thousand, more or less, of this class
who were thus employed, the large
majority proved to be failures, aud
or were driven away by their employ
ers in consequence of their laziness,
thefts, orlof worse outrages committed
by them, All sorts of offences, from

AN ExTRAoRDINAR1 5PHENoMENON.


4 The London NesOs of October "a
states that early on the previous day
Woolwich experienced ga sudden and
almost unexampled Visitation of dark
ness. The morning had been wet and
gloomy throughout, but at one p. M.
the sky was overcast with dark pail,
which seemed to obscure every YES
tige of ilight.from above. The dark
ness was not that of a London fog,
for Vistas of lighted windows could
be seen for a long distance. 1t was
rather the darkness of midnight, but
there was a reddish tint in the sky
like that occasioned by a great fire.
The atmosphere was very heavy and
oppressive, the rain had ceased, and
the wind, which had been blowing
from the southeast, entirely abated.
The effect was dismal in the extreme.
Nervous people encouraged the most
dread forebodings; more reasonable
ones attributed It to an eclipse of the
sun, but found no confirmation in the
almanac. Fowls went to roost, pig
cons and other birds stopped in their
fight to seek the nearest shelter, and
every living thing seemed impressed
by the scene. The period of intense
gloom lasted about five minutes, when
light gradually broke in from. the
west, and in an honr afterwards there
was brilliant sunshine"

The esi6ezwheel steamer Virgin, now
called the Virginips, was built on'the
Clyde in the year 1864, intended for 3
blockade-runner, and was reported to
be- w hen launcheds oneaof the most
rapid vessels ever, constructed,t her
lines being most symm etrical and her
engines remarkably powerful for her
size. AFTER q successful careerin run
ming our Southern blockade, she was
eventually captured at Mobile, cotton
laden, when the Union forces took
shat city. subsequently; the Virgin
was brought to New York, and was
transferred by the Naval Department
to that of the Revenue, bht after she
had entered the service of the United
States she was found unsuited for her
work, and she was sold at suction to
Mr.. Isaac Roberts, a son of Mr. Mar
shall o.. Roberts, of New York, but,
was subsequently, transferred to Mr..
John r.. Patterson, of New York. She
was then fitted up as q privateera and
blockade-runner, in the interest of the
Cuban insurgents. She was a very
desirable vessel for that purpose, not
merely on account of her great speed,
but on account of her small rdraught
of water-only eight feet when load
ed with 400 tons of cargo-Wh Which gave
her unusual facilities for running close
in shore on the Cuban coast. On
July20, 1871, General Rafael Qtiesadai
being in command. she was successful
in landing cargo on the Cuban coast
near Santiago de Cuba. Oa The 7th'
of July last under the same coma
mander, she succeeded in landing an.
other cargo on the southern coast of
Cuba. Botlfthesea acafgoes were OBJ
tanned in Yenezuela, aud the Virgin
ius, although she continued to fly the
American flag, has not been in an
American port since 1871. During
her flibustering career, she lay for
some time in the port Of Colon, where
she was closely watched by the Span
ishb war vessel Pizafro, but received
the protection of thegAmerieon Min
lister to Columbia, on the ground that
her papers were regular, and that she
could not be arrested for an unlawful
voyage, after the unlawful voyage had
been definitely completed. At the
time of her capture she3was under the-
command Captain Joseph. Erys a.
native of Louisiana, and graduate of
the Annapolis Naval Academy, who
was engaged in the running of the
blockade during the rebellion,

the engineers on the Alabama. and
Chattanooga railroad, We think a
little too good to be lost. He saws
some twozor- three days ago, while
making his usual run from .Birming-
ham, he had to put on all steam he could
raise ia order to come in on schedule,
but as he neared desolate slope of
country between here and York, known
as the flats, he was tagged down by
huge torchlight that was waving to
and fro across the track. He saw this
tremendous signal of . danger,
and as q guarded and trustworthy
engineer :: as he is, forthwith
brought the train to dead halt, and
approached the man of danger slowly
and cautiously. On arriving up to the
light there stood queer-looking indi
vidual who addressed the engineer,
Nh. George Martin, thus: "Hello,
Mister, could you tell body when Mr..
Stanton is going to pay them back
dues 2" The gentleman of the throttle
soon conprehended the situation, and,
speaking kindly to his man, told him
that Stanton would pay up in a few
days after the national debts were set
tied, and SO, blowing his whistle, was
soon lost in the darkness of the night

one to which our narrative refers is a

is considered an oxcell. mt drink. and
the spring recommended for the cure
of cOrns.

after the old gentleman got through
soaking his corns. They were rather
fastldious in their tastes, and would
carefully rinse out tho cup before
taking drink, but one evening one
Of them happened to come down a
little earlier than common. and found
the old gentleman soaking his corns as
usual. The high-toned chap indie-
nantly demanded what he meant.
