ExuItant Penitents.

The Democratic Congressman from South
Carolina have been making the rounds of the
Departments, and their "true inwardness' Is
expressed in the following extract from the
Washington correspondence of the Charleston
Nens and Courier of the eth instant. These
are the men who claim congressional seats at
the expense of hundreds of murdered Repub-
licans, who gave up their lives that loyalty
might triumph but alas the sacrifice was in
vain:
Mcssrs EvISs and AIKEN and Mr.. J. $. RICHARD
SON made a tour on Saturday among the officials,
and their account of their visit is somewhat anus

and that looking askance first at one and then at
the other Of these gentlemen, Us II he wondered
why they had obtruded themselves upon his pres
ence. Mr.. KEY Is stately, rather rough looking,
austere man Of about hly five years, with Jungle
of stiff coarse, gray hair on his head and chin, and

behind desk and dealt outa occasional remark
for his mcdilaiye visitors than II he had been sim

particularly impressed with the etiquettical sndrRer
however he will improve upon acquai intlnce.
From the Post Office they went 10 the Treasury,

Before they had time to seat themselves

into the ante room nimbly and as smiling us
JOHS RoBINsoS's rlngmaster when he first makes
his leap into the ring, cracks his whip and sur
p-ises the audience with the cry, This way, Mr.
MERRIMAS." lie did not even say, "Will you be
seated, gentlemen" but looking cunningy and al
most sarraStically out from under his heavy project
ing forehead and eyebrows, he simply nodded aS,
sent tO remark or two with listeSs sort Of yes
and twisted and turned as II he would welcome
their departure. They did not disappoInt him:
Mr.. SHERMAN is about six feet aud an inch, Will
weigh about l65, and Is perhaps finy-fve years or
old and cOlDrlpgs I'm the fnpp
He came IN the United States Senate several years
ago poor and perhaps an honest man. To-day he
pays taxes on Teputed property Of over half a

OF all the million and one religious sects
that have come and gone within the last one
thousand years, the most absurd is that now
agitating some Of the Western States. Its
principal tenet is that man is obliged to con-
fess all his sins to his wife once week, and
rice uersa. What u numerous amount of do
nestle lying this will entail. One advantage
is manifest, and that is there will be no period
of painful suspense as to the penalty, as to re-
pentance, or as to the instant forgiveness.

The Japanese appear to be in dilemma
about their recent secret negotiations with
England and with Russia. England insists on
sharing all of Japans advantages in opening
Corea, and Japan refuses to concede the de-
mand. Russia consents to support Japan's re-
fusai to any extremity If Japan will waive her
claim to northern port of entry and choose
one further south. What has our Government
got to say about the matter; or is Corea of no
interest TO our commercial community?

FL. CARpozo when State Treasurer Of
South Carolina, was always characterized by
his prudence and honesty. Indeed, he always
denounced jobs and official extravaganza. BY
his frmness and counsel many doubtful
schemes were defeated and IL was generally
admitted by property holders throughout the
State that CARDozo was instrumental in saw
ing hundreds of thousands of dollars to the
taxpayers In 1874 Republican Legislature
arraigned him for official misconduct but so
evident was it that he had done no wrong that
ex-Lieut Gov. PORTER, leading Democratic
lawyer of Charleston, appcaredlas his counsel,
and he was acquitted of the charge by an al
most unanimous vote of the Legislature. But
times have changed since then. The State is
now under home rule" and as CARDozo
possesses influence, il is deemed advisable by
the "straight-outs" to forever silence his
voice by an indictment and conviction. He
now pines in the Columbia Jail on the charge
of paying valid claim against the State
without authority of law" of course this
is only a fiimsy pretext, and as they design pun
ishing SMALLs for Stealing the Planter" 50
will they persecute CARDozo because he is a
man of ability and might in future years un.
dertake to aid the colored race in South Caro-
lima in maintaining their rights.

A divorce case of unsual interest has Just
been decided In the Common Pleas Court, at Cleye.
land. Ohio Riuie Weeks about year and half
ago began suit against her husband Charles J..
Weeks, charging him with adultery and gross neg.
lcCt. He replied with filing eros petition for
divorce and denying the charges of the petition.
Just before the case was begun Mrs. Weeks spirited
away their two children, one nine the other FIVE
years of age hiding them somewhere In New York
tty with the Catholics as their father has reason
to believe. She told him many times
that he never should see them again, that they
should be brought up IN ignorance OF his existence
&c. The Judge decided last Saturday every point
in favor Of the defendant, granting him divorce
aud the custody Of his children. All that Ii need.
ed 10 complete the picture Is present In this case.
The mother, who IN extraordinarily beautiful, has
formed an attachment for a Virginia gentleman,
who made bold 10 attend the case while II was on
trial and who will soon marry her. The wife
justhes her conduct by the Woodruff philosophy
Of inhnities. Mr., Weeks hopes that the eye OF
some one acquainted with the whereabouts Of his
childIen may see the dec ision Of the Court and
assist him 10 recover them.

They carried the young lady of by main

THOSE people on this side of the Atlantic
who profess to know all about the affairs in
France are much mixed over the fact that
GAMBErrA has made speech without allud-

accounting for French politicians. They are

NEITHER Paris nor London can now equal
New York in nscally devices. The innu-
merable tricks that are resorted to by thieves
to ply successfully their nefarious trades are
wonderful, The latest reported is that of a

rooms in prominent boarding house, and
then inviting the landlady to drink some
porter. The liquor was druggcd, and tho
landlady became stupefcd, whereupon the

IT NOW appears that the stone-masons who
went from New York to London to work were
deceived by the contractors who gave them
assurances that they were not to fill the places
of any strikers. They have not gone towork,
and the contractors have seized their tools,
for the possession of which the workmen have
sued. Some of these American mechanics
have obtained work by the aid of the strikers
committee, and the remainder are about to re-
turn home. They should have known that
they could not fairly secure better wages in
England than in the United States. The idea
advanced by the New York press that there is
likely to be any diplomatic question growing
out OF the matter is simply absurd.

; About eleven O'Clock yesterday morning

loon on Grand River avenue and asked
for glass of beer. When his nickel had
been raked into the till the saloonist look

out paper and poured q white powder
into the glass.

Architecture.

1t has often been said that the archi-
lecture of q people, as that of the Hin
docs, grows out of its religion, and,
doubtless, In q certain sense and way it
does SO; but the details of its stone carv-
ing and cutting are found ready to hand
before the temple is built. The architec-
ture may, indeed, be said in sense to
mold the religion and religious expression.
In this instance of the Hindoo, with SO
complicated faith and elaborate a cere
monial, it will be found that the details
OF temple building and the ornaments
to be found in the temple furniture are all
ready to hand, whenever the need arises :;
and the new temple is built with the
materials already provided. In this work
Of the Hindoo, scattered as it is over so
vast an area, there will be found ample
means.of proving this, for in NO country
in the world are there to be found so vast
Z number Of temples and buildings to re-
ligious purposes As in India. They are
not, as might ct first sight be thought, all
alike, and uniform in style and mode Of
treatment and detail. II is not little
surprising to find how much the north
and south, east and west, differ from each
other, although all be Chased under the
same general term. It must be confessed
here that we are sadly at q loss for evi-
really -. nothing compared with the vast
mass q nateEials that must exist over 50
