The Congress OF the United States Is not
only the mere creature and recorder of the
decision of tho Democratic caucus, but of a
Star Chamber cabal, which clothes it's proceed
ings and edicts In rs profound secrecy as the
dread Council Of Ten of ancient Venice The
fact that some inkling of the caucus immedi-
ately following the veto, leaked out and APP
peaied i'll the press, gave rise TO a furious
scene and fierce, denunciatoiy language, in
The caucus of Friday. A correspondent of
The Phila. "Times says:
The session lasted for over three hours,
and the scenes from beginning to eud were of
the most bosterous and indecent character
At no similar meeting for many years, if ev-
er. has there been so much bad blood and hot
talk. The course of some of the members
was called traitorous, while other members,
noticeably Cox, of New York, were called
covardiy by one of the stalwarts."
A committee was sent hunting and smelling
all through the galleries and ante-rooms. as ii
WAS thought some newspaper man must be
concealed somewhere about the place. But
nothing could be found, and then began a
season of yelling and listening from various
portions OF the chamber, and every nook and
corner big enough to hide a mouse was search.
ed and probed. Finally weather strips and
padlocks We re ordered on all the doors, in the
belief that the secrets leaked out in that way.
There is something utterly repugnant &c
the spirit of our institutions, and to the pub.
lie sense of the fitness of things in this Stai
Chamber sort Of things. 1t is all very well foi
dstinctively party measures to be considered
in caucus, so as to secure harmony of action,
but this attempt to keep the results of such
deliberations secret, and TO make Congress
the mere instrument FOR carrying out the mys.
terious purposes of Star Chamber conclave,
is altogether out of order.

BsoOhsr ON The Situation.

Rev. Henry Ward Beecher has recently
made tour through the South and West,
and a marked change in his political views
have taken place. Personal contact with
the people Of the South, aud general in
sight in the condition Of affairs since the
war, led him on Sunday last, 10 his dis
course on HChristian Love casting Out
Hate, to remark
This people was divided By an invisible line
morally visible enOugh--and this great ma.
ton was separated, the North from the South,
and stood in bloody antagonism through FIVE
years. And now my own Judgment & that
when you consider human nature: what il is
TO hold property Of any kind; for people to
have that property swept out Of their hands,
the rich among them reduced to absolute poy.

work; when you consider that the ascendancy
Of the despised slave was established by--to

should not have wondered fthere had beena

been at the South. do say that in the whole
history Of the human race there never has
been an example of a people that bore such
reverses, on the whole, with as much patience,
as much grandeur, as much patriotism as they
have done. [Snbdnedapplause. The spec.
tacle OF moral grandeur in this revolution, the

Mr.. Beecher, it will be remembered, did
as much to bring on the late civil war as
any man in the country, aud to keep alive
animosities since the dawn of peace. The
truth of the situation has been revealed to
him BY personal contact with the Southern
people aud a study of affairs, and he now

Dizziness oftrade, as Indicated by the mar.
ket Tor money, does not appear to have
reached anything like the stage in this eoun.
Try that has come upon England within the
last few months. The Economist thinks that
bottom has certainly been reached, since
short loans can be obtained for about the
third o. pehny per cent. per diem, less than
three shillings day for the loan Of ten thou.
sand pounds" The best bills can be dis.
counted at one per cent. per annum. OF
course, IT there was any chance of making a
good use OF tins money, It would not be al
lowed to remain idle long at such rntes. Bnt
sensible men do not borrow at any rate, how.
ever low, unless they think they can make
more from the use Of the capital than they
have to pay-and the conclusion from The

ElOPing with a Negro.

A despatch from Pittsburgh, MAY lG. saws
The little town OF Beaver, which Is one of
the suburbs Of Pittsburgh, is ia terrible
state Of excitement. One of the prettiest,
weaithiest, and most accomplished young
ladies OF the town left her mothers house and
deliberately married a negro, who is as ugly
and ignorant as he is black. For some time
past Annie Mason has given her parents a
good deal Of trouble BY her reckless. way
ward conduct, but, being an only daughter.
she was spoil by indulgence. Her father Is
United States storekeeper in Indiana county,
but lives in Beaver, and Is wealthy. Her
uncle is Chief Justice Daniel Agnew Of the
Supreme Court, and the family Is one Of the
best in this part of the State. Mrs. George
Jones, nee Miss Annie Mason, is 20 years old.
She is brunette, with large eyes exceedingly,
pretty face and fine form. She had a quar-
rel with her parents on Wednesday night, and

made by some unknown means the night be.

Miss Mason went TO Rochester, which is about
a mile from Beaver, and hurried to the house
OF colored clergyman, who married them in
the presence OF two white men, who were
called IN 10 act as witnesses. The couple
then took the next train back to Beaver.
where Jones hired a room ia small house
which has only three rooms in il, two Of which
are already occupied by negro families. The
reckless girl sent home for her trunk, piano,
and some Of the ornaments from her room,
and this was the fret intimasion her mother
had Of the marriage. Her mother tried to
persuade her daughter home, but she refused.
Her father Is not q home, and knows nothing

Liberia.

A pileons cry comes from across the sen.
The model negro Republic Of Liberia, which
has existed and bloomed for thirty years like
big sunfower, is in danger Of being swal.
lowed up and obliteraled through the jealousy
and rivalry Of England and France. Liberia
has q rich coast of six hundred miles. Eng.
land employs forty steamships in the West
Coast Of Africa trade. The Niger alone af.
fords an annual business to the country Of
81 100000. France alternates with England
in the establishment Of trading posts and.
perhaps, does the larger share of exchange ia
products. A question OF boundary has been
raised aud England threatens to slice sixty
miles off her northwestern territory, to be
followed by slice from the southeastern
coast in due time. The Government owes
England $500, 600, upon which no interest.
is paid, and backed by a number Of Chiefs,
who are under her thumb, Britannia may be
expected at any time to make reclamation
with gunboats. The poor, little Republic has
long been torn by the jealousy Of the two
classes of negroes within her borders-lhe
natives and imported gentlemen from the
United States. There is no race repugnance
in this country equal 10 that which exists be
tween these classes. There Is nm uffectation
of superiority on one hand met by contemp,
and hatred ON the other. The negro from
the United States carried with him to Liberia
the initiated air Of hau,eur, the fancied tones
of superiority which he seemed to think the
characteristics of his old master. Gu the
other hand, the native king or head man has
traditions Of the time when the forefathers Of
the Liberian were slaves Of their ancestors.
1t is this antagonism which is destroying the
negro Republic and handing it over to It's GOV.
etons enemies. The cry which comes from
Liberia is plea for some sort of assistance
from the Government Of the United States.
The American Colonization Society is ex-
pected to meet at once and adopt series Of
fiery resolutions.
