Attempted Assassination of n High
OhicfaI

Attempted Assassination of n High
SAN FRANCISCO, February 1O.-The
steamer Vosco Do Cana has arrived, eigt-
teen days and twenty hours, from Yokaho-
ma, the quickest trip on record. She
brings the following particulars of an at.
tempt to kill Iwakura, high Japanese of-
fetal:
AS lwakura was returning from the Mi
kado,s temporary residence to his own
dwelling, his carriage was stopped near
the outer castle moat by bamboo pole
stretched across the road. The sides of
the vehicle were cut through by swords,
and lwakura. hastily descending,
found himself attacked by several armed
men, from whom he received wounds
in the loins and shoulders. He ran
to the moat, close at hand, and sprang
into it, remaining hidden for about an
hour, after which he returned to the
Mikado's house, to which foreign surgeons
were summoned, who at once discovered
that his injuries were in no degree danger
ous.. He will probably be able to resume
his duties in few weeks.
This is the first attempt at the assassi-
nation of high official since the murder
OF Hirusawa Sango, early in 1872. No
clue to the would-be murderers has vet
been discovered.

SOUTHERN HISTORICAL SOCIETY. =
A public meeting was held Saturday night
in Masonic hall, Baltimore, to establish
there branch of the Southern Historical
society. Ex-Judge j. A. Ingis explained
the object of the meeting, which was that
justice should be done the principles and
motives which actuated the people of the
South in the late war, and historical
record be preserved of their deeds. In
the course of Judge Inglis' remarks, he
said that not fewer than nineteen thousand
soldiers from Baltimore fought on the
Confederate side.
Among the other speakers were Hon. s.
Teakle Wallis, Rev. Thomas u. Dudley,
jr., formerly Of Richmond, and General
Wade Hampton.
Letters were read from w. W. Corcoran
and General j. s. Preston, Of Washington
city; the Rev. j. N. Gallaher. of New
York city, and Robert L. Withers, esq.,,
of Richmond, Va, expressing sympathy
with the Southern Historical society.

Mrs. WILLIAMs.-For the mean, des
picable treatment accorded Mrs. Williams
by certain members of the press and
certain journals throughout this affair, we
have nothing but contempt. Conceding
that she has been active in urging her hus-
bands promotion, and that her charms as
woman have increased her influence, is
there anything necessarily wrong, or even
indicate in such course? 1t is surely
nothing new in this country, and certainly
nothing new in Europe, for ladies of cul-
ture, talent and influence to take an inter-
est in public affairs, and in the political
advancement of their gentlemen relatives
and friends. We are of the number who
believe that female influence in public life
should be encouraged, not repressed.
If women are not to vote, they may at
least, by the grace, the delcacy, elegance
and refinement Of their finer natures,
soften the asperities and modify tho
coarseness of our American rough and
tumble politics. Instead of pushing, with
prudish horror and unchivalrous madness,
ladies from the arena of public interest and
discussion, we had much better encourage
some modified form OF the French salon
or the London drawing-room, in which
ladies' of character, intelligence and mem
tai activity exert no triAing influence on
the course Of current politics. Wonan's

CAPITOL NOTES.

For some years past six extra guard have
been employed at the penitentiary in add
tion to the thirty authorized by law. They
were put on doubtless to meet some ext
gent call. Governor Kemper has declined
to approve the bills for the payment Of
guards not authorized by law, in conse-
auence of which six bilious citizens of this
commonwealth were to-day walking about
doing nothing but cursing their luck and
casting rueful glances at the state prison.
Since the citizens Of Westmoreland sent
their petition to the House of Delegates,
asking legislation in behalf of the moching-
birds.of that ilk, nothing can DE heard in
the hall and rotunda but the enticing notes
of "Listen to the Mocking-bird.' 1t has
entirely superseded "Molly Darling" Of
whom, happily, no more is heard. Mr..
Frederick Griffith, who represents the
county which gave George Washington
birth, is a popular gentleman and the en-
We'd possessor of a soprano voice of excel
lent tone and sweetness, and he leads in
the plaintive invocation to Listen to the
Mocking-bird.'
The House committee on military affairs
met yesterday in the adjutant-general's
Office, and had a long confab over bill
which it hopes may render efficient the
existing military organization of the state.
The funds in the state treasury to-day
amounted to $3.50, 6Os.s3.
1t will be remembered that committee
of the House of Delegates. last session of
the Legislature, appointed to investigate
the sale Of the states interest in the Rich
mond and Danville Railroad company, dis
covered that the clerk of the board OF pub.
lie works had made mistake against the
state of $4,000. Suit to recover this
amount is about to be commenced by tho
attorney-general. The subject was much
discussed about the Capitol to-day in pri-
vate circles.
1t was also said that the attorn ey-general,
with Judge Crump as assistant counsel,
has instituted suit against the Danville
Railroad company, to recover to the state
about $500, 900, said TO be due on states
interest purchased by Tom Scott of the
Pennsylvania Central.
The House Of Delegates to-day passed to
its engrossment bill devolving the duties
at present performed by the superinten-
dent of public buildings on the Register Of
the general land Office, without pay.
Out Of a House committee of six APP
pointed few days ago by the Speaker to
receive the visiting United States engineers
and introduce them on the floor of the
House, there was not single Republican
member.
The Governor to-day issued new par
don to one Blair, who had been found
guilty ofgIand larceny bya hastings count
jury.

PROFESSOR HARTZ.-A large and
fashionable audience was in attendance at
Assembly Hall last night, to witness the
entertainment of this justly celebrated ma
giclan. Professor Hartz is the best illu-
sionist that has ever visited our city. His
tricks are new, and are performed with
seeming ease almost in tho midst of his
auditory. The Indian box trick casts the
Davenport Brothers, Wyman, Anderson,
and McAllister all in the shade.
Hartz, the very mention of whose name
among the superstitious in Europe causes
the cheek to blanch with CONSERVATION, the
teeth to chatter and rattle with fear, and the
knees to tremble, as they cluster together in
groups to whisper wonderful stories of this
famous wizards extraordinary illusions !;
Hartz, whose name, among many in the
south of Germany, is linked with that Of
the demon of the Drachenfels, Ia legend
of the Hartz mountains,) by whom, ac-
cording to their theory, he is invested with
supernatural powers to perform those
utterly inexplicable mysteries that battle
detection, and fills our hearts and minds
with weird-like awe and wonder incom-
prehensible. This famous and world.re-
nowned wizard and illusionist appears to-
night for the second time in our city, and
we look for an immense audience, just as
he had last night.

We think it is about time Governor
Kemper has made up his mind in the
matter of the pardon of Page McCarty.
If he cares picayune about the sent-
ments of the newspapers we do not know,
but we should at least have been glad to
see a more general expression of opinion
by them upon the case. As for ours, if we
had the power he should have stepped
from the courtroom into the open air a
free and fineless man. There never was O
verdict more absurd than from which he
suffers. 1t is as laacless as his act could
possibly have been.- Eirginia Sentinel

IDLENEss. Many young people think
that an idle life must be a pleasant one !;
but there are none who enjoy so little, and
are such burdens to themselves, as those
who have nothing to do. Those who are
obliged to work hard all day enjoy their
short periods of rest and recreation so
much that they are apt to think if their
whole lives were spent in rest and recrea-
ton, it would be the most pleasant of all.
But this is sad mistake, as they would
soon find out if they made a trial of
the life they think SO agreeable.
One who is never busy can
never enjoy rest; for rest implies a relief
from previous labor; and if our whole
time were spent in amusing ourselves, we
should find 1t more wearisome than the
hardest days work. Recreation is only
valuable as it unbends us; the idle can
know nothing of it. Many people leave
off business and settle down to life of
enjoyment !; but they generally find that
they are not nearly so happy as they were
before, and they are often glad to return to
their old occupations to escape the mise
ries of Incidence.
