Inter Ocean, "a solemn conviction thatit is
"the settled purpose of this faction of ex-
"rebels to nullify the Thirteenth, Four

Constitution, to blot from the statute

barrier raised by the Republican party for

strong assertion applies to the rebel ele-
ment in the next House of Representatives,
and the Inter Ocean might have added
that the same faction will leave no stone
unturned to secure the election of States

''NoT TAXES, but economy" is the dem
agogue cry of the Democracy in reply to
the manly suggestion of the Administration
that the revenues shall be increased. This
CRY may serve to mislead few thoughtless
men and the rabble who do not pay taxes
in direct manner, but the Presidents rec
ommendation will meet with the earnest ap-
proval of every high-minded citizen who de-
sires to preserve the integrity of the Gov
eminent and the credit of the nation.
Economy is not always to be reached by
procrastination, and that is exactly what
the Democrats are urging. The day must
come when we will be obliged to settle, and
in the meantime we must prepare for it.
The majority party in Congress has already
done so much in the way of reducing the
expenses of the Government as to entail
untold suffering among discharged en-
ployees and to actually hinder the prompt
progress Of current business.

Browns infamous assault on General But
Ter is not accepteda as personal matter, but
as an indication of the hatred of the class
he represents, of the party in which General
Butler is acknowledged to be leader.
That Butler is acknowledged to b. such,
and that the matter was more partisan
than personal, is proved by the fact that
the entire Republican vote of the House
was cast to censure Brown.

THE VIRGINIA sham Conservatives now
propose to strike from the reconstructed
constitution of that State the clause deny
ing the right Of States to attempt to dissolve
the Union, and asserting tho supremacy
over the States of the Constitution Of the

pected when they obtained power in the
Old Dominion, and the only wonder is that
they have not attempted it before this. In

THE RICHMOND Enquirer says "the more

templated the more uneasy do we be-
come as to the future" All right neigh
Dor, we hope your fears are we'll founded.
The events ofthe past few weeks point to but
one logical result, viz: the re-establishment
of peace and order in the South. This is
enough to make any Democratic editor in
the South uneasy" but if Congress does
its duty and provides that Democratic muir
derers and assassins shall be punished
shall have their necks broken as they de-
serve-the uneasiness will prove epidemic.

On the whole, therefore, the Irish in
America, although they have achieved mate
rial success abundantly, and though their
votes are a considerable political weight, are
not able to boast of Irish influence in the
public affairs of their adopted country. The
iact is they want q leader in the United
States, as they do at home; a man who will
dwarf and discipline subordinates and
shoulder down opposition. The want has
struck no less acute man than Gen. But
Ser, who has lately been out of political
employment His frequent and violent
changes OF political opinion have left Mr..
Butler without party friends; the Demo
Gratis detest him as they detest no other of
their opponents, and the Republicans had
got weary OF his audacious cynictsm even be-
fore the burden of his unpopularity over
weighed them, and procured their overthrow
in the contest for Massachusetts. Any other
man would be content to withdraw, at least
for while, from the scene Of his defeat, but
Gen. Butler is as dauntless as he is shameless.
II little matters to him what steed be be-
strides, so that he can ride into power. and as
the Irish vote is plunging about masterless
snd unguided, it is really a stroke Of genius
in Gen. Butler to think of placing himself in
the saddle. This is, however, plainly his
object; his address to the Irish at the
0Connell centenary in Boston was undis-
gnisedly bid for power, for the leadership
of the Irish in America, for the allegiance
of the people whose countryman, to
the surprise of everybody, he made himself
out to be. We have no means of judging
whether Buffers bold stroke is likely to be
successful. But if the Irish care to take the
astute Yankee lawyer with his motley record
AS q chief and champion, they are welcome to
him. We do not suppose that New England
will enter protest if Gen. Butler elects to
be called an Irishman rather than an Ameri-
ran. We perceive, however, that the Boston
Pilot, the ablest Roman Catholic newspape,
in America, bluntly refuses to accept Buffers
pretensions, and comprehensively dismisses
his boasts, his praises and his prophesies as
dangerous blatherskite."

A FLORIDA VOLCANO.
LFrom the Semi. Tropical Monthly

From the Semi Tropical Monthly.]
For many years past there has been noticed
a column of smoke or steam arising from an
Uncomfortable swamp short distance from the
Gulf coast in Waukulla county. Many at
asmpts have been made to discover the cause,
bat thus far no party has been successful IN
penetrating to the location, in consequence OF
. The character of the surrounding.
short time since, Judge White and
party Of gentlemen in Leon and Ga1sden
counties formed an expedition to reach, if
possible, the undiscovered wonder. They
Started from st. Marks in a sail-boat and
made their way eastward to the mouth OF Pin
hook Creek. One of the party writing to the
Sentinel says: 'fThe coast here is very singu-
lar, and suggests the presence of volcanic ac-
lion at some time in the remote past. We
looked upon it as favorable indication OF
the volcano we were in search of. The whole
coast is a mass of rocks. Oae called the
"Gray Mare" forms natural bath-house,
vailed in on all sides.
I'The bed of the river is q mass of rock, and
two miles from its mouth its whole volume Is
yomited up with immense force from the
yawning Jaws of rifted rock. Here the river
proper terminates, and then commences a Sc
sizes of sinks, which extends for twenty miles
back. After entering the swamp the party
discovered an immense rock in the form OF
an inverted cone, rising to the height OF
hundred feet, which was regarded as the cone
of an extinct volcano. Fragments from it are
light like pumice stone, and abundance of
scoria and ashes are TO be found, together
with most all the features peculiar 10 those OF
recent volcanic disturbance.
Here" continues the Sentiaers cores
pondent, "the exploration ended. Days were
spent in attempting to penetrate and explore
the vast swamp, which, as far as any human
being is concerned, has remained impenetra-
BILE and unexplored. Language can not con-
yey proper conception of the character OF
ahis region. Old hunters who have lived upon
the borders Of the swamp for years, have
quailed before the terrors and difficulties con-
eealed within its hidden depths. At all
points it seems to present an impenetrable
barrier of tangled vines and brush, except to
the bears, panthers, snakes, alligators and
other wild beasts and venomous reptiles to
which it is abandoned, and in which they are
secure from all human interference.
To penetrate this wild region and open up
fhis hidden mystery will form most attrac
live and exciting occasion to some of our
wealthy Nor hern visitors, many of whom
are so fond of adventure and wild sports.
We shall be surprised if another winter passes
without developing the cause of this volume
