The Senate will soon have to vote upon the
confirmation OF Mr.. JOIN WELSH Of Phila-
dclphia, nominated by Mr. HAYES as Minis
ter to England. The country really knows
little about JONI WELSH his character or

connection with the West India trade. He
is also an active member Of the Protestant
Episcopal Church. Az the Church Congress
in this city last week. Mr. WELSH appeared
ON the platform of Chickerng Hall and read
a paper devoted To an analysis OF true
charity, with fcrvcnt tribute to the moral
beauty OF Christian bcnevolencc and dis
cusson OF the Indian question on broad
principles Of humanity. The enjoyment of
life liberty, and the pursuit Of happiness,
said Mr. WELSH, " is the right OF every one
These sentiments though crcditable to Mr.
WELSH do not forestall the necessity of an
invcst igation by the Senate Of his fitness to
bc Minister TO England.
As the representative Of a free country
and the appointee Of political party whose
chief glory is that il emancipated four mill
lions of slaves. Mr.. WELSH would not bo

Dispatches from Capt SELDEN. as late rs
oct 22. show that SIrKA JACK was still carrying
on his October festival very quietly. The Alaska
Indians. in fact. seem to be- a good deal less
dangerous than the half-brceds. There is an
arctic GOODNESS in the Sitka storekeepers per-
sisting in plying the redskins and Russo
Aleuts with liquor. and then calling on the
army and navy to protect them from the posi-
bic consequences Of their drunkenness Once
they were persuaded into an agreement not to
sell it, but the agreement lasted only one day.
and some OF them even then broke 1t. on the
sly. before night. The Stka whites furnished
the liquor for this very pow-wow which they
said would wind up with massacre.

Some OF the men from whom money was
extorted to make up the amount of $4,000 paid
over to HAYES by ZACH CHANDLER. have since
