FROM WASHINGTON.
Cotton Tax-The Louisiana Case.
TSpecial to the Courier,Journa,.1

Especial to the Courier-Journal.]
| WASHINGTON, Jan. 20.-About o'clock to-da
dispatch was received at the Capitol announcin!
that Henry L. Dawes had been chosen Senator b
the Massachusetts, Assembly.
GEN. BUTLER HAPPY.
Next to Mr.. Dawes, Gen. Butler was the hap
pest man on the floor over the affair. He anl
his party had worked hard to defeat Hoar, ani
Butler, in conversation the subject, says it is
| the first result Of Louisiana. He regards it as
great party triumph; but how this is made out
does not appear. Mr.. Dawes is regarded by
| than Butler on Southern questions, and has more
than once helped to defeat extreme measures.
| THE LOUISIANA CASE.
| The Republicans in Congress have not the
| slightest idea OF doing anything to repair the
| wrongs of Louisiana. Their expectation and
desire is that George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts.
Wheeler, OF New York, and Frye Of Maine, who
| are going to New Orleans, may be able to make
out case to justify or excuse the action of Grant
and Sheridan. Hoar is regarded as one of the
most ultra and bitter of his party, but something
better is hoped from his associates, Wheeler and
Frye, In the way OF fair play. The present indi-
| cations OF the Judiciary Committee OF the House
point to a report in favor Of new election for
licans would be so shaped as to secure the cleo
ton machinery and count, or repetition OF the
frauds of the Returning Board.

mise measure which was adopted at tho last ses.
sion by the caucus Of the Southern members
and known then az the Sheldon bill. The matter
is now in the hands of subcommittee COM
posed Of Messrs. Sheldon, Kasson and Wood,

A PARODY FOR THE SCHOOLROOM.
By DWIGHT C. PIERCE.

To know-or not to know,-that is the question:
Whether tits nobler in the mind, to suffer
The evil consequence of ignorance,
Or go to school; and grasping new IDEAS,
Dlspsl the old ambiguous fogs and mists
That bewilder the untutored mind
And, by dispelling, end them ?-To know TO learn
And by judicous say we end
The thousand gross mistakes and teliou Ills
So Oft Occurrins,-tis a cOnsummatiOn
Devoutly to be wished. To learn to know
To learn perchance to 'xplan ;-ay, there's the rut
For as we make an attempt, what dubious thoughts
And abstruse principles present themselves,
| In dull confusion mixing all we know
And ere we shuttle out the right idea,
We make pause. There's the respect
! That makes an explanation live so long;
Nor who would take the long and crooked route,
The mountain climb, or plunge into the gulf,
Or puzzle over tue debate Of authors.
Or bear the whips or scorns of time thus spent
To bring before the mind but one idea,
When he himself might his recital make
With shorter method. Who would yet submit
To he the slave of ignorance and donbt,
But that the dread of being in the rear,
The butt of ridicule, or something TO
| Be learned, puzzles the will; and makes him bea
The Ills in consequence, rather than toll
To learn the truths be yet knows nothing of.
Thus apprehension Oft retards course,
And thus the youthful mind is oft dismayed,
And lost, amidst the mass of human woes
That my pernicous ignorance is swayed.
And should close up this protraying ill.,
'Twould leave the matter none the better still;
For when you're sick should the physician say,
Your case is very bad. indeed; pray
| To know what good might thus be done; if he
Did not prescribe and give the remedy,
SO would say to all who tim rous are,
To nobly struggle, break the iron bar;
| 'Tis education frees the mind of man,
And teaches him the universe to scan.
