The Heb:c-w Feusa of the Fu?-?>ves?, hich began Wednesday, is being gen? erally observed by orthodox Hebrews in this city. . , , The Passover is the spring festival ot he Jewish religion and is coni'memora ive to the departure of the Li.aelites rom Egypt. Us significance is mainly that of "freedom. In a religious sense it emblematical of the freedom of the mind being released from tbe thraldom if idolatry. A.cording to the .1-1 el new calendar the Passover falls on the 1-Hh day of the month of XL-san- at eve. In leality th'e observance: is domnvanded by the lath day. but is begun on the evening of the Hth day of Nissan to commemo? rate the exceptional favor " es lowed upon the Israelites at the time when the (Irs-horn was .-lain, throughout Egypt. Th.e festival is essentially ...no of great I joy. I?uf in' no res.peet.is it u demonstra? tive one-, for Israel never forgets its sufferings just previous to its emtinei patioii. The festival lasts seven days during which tbose who observe it strictly allow no leaven in. the house. The substitute for the bread is the matzo. an unleavened cake. The first and seventh days are observed as more ?acred than the otHera. It has been tin oiil established custom on the first night fur the heads of fam? ilies to recite an account of the Extadms and the special customs relating to this festival. This recitcj which is exceed? ingly solemn is .usually followed by a feast and the chanting of psalms. The object of this is especially to keep the younger generation informed! ais to the history of their ancestors and to im? press uiKin them the importance of so regulating ti-.eir lives that they may iP.precio.ite the value- of liberty not only n its religious seme, but politically as well. The political reiise is Jegard d as 'important as the religious, in ismuch as the Jewish people living in i ciiumtiy where there 5s reillg.ousi and political liberty are willing and anx - us to become identical with the In? terests and Wilfare of the coumtty where they have settled as residente and citizens and as.-'ist in Its material levelopment 'and improvement.

(By Telegraph.) WASHINGTON, April 7.?Sbime sharp war talk wai# indulged in, by the Sen? ate today. Wbm the consideration of the sundry civil appropriation bill was resumed, the question pending was the amendment <>f Mr. 'Pettiue, of Alabama, providing foil' such improverrumit of the harbor at Mobile as would ?nable war vessels to obtain ^ gan was of tine opinion that if a iiait'lroad compuny had brotight the amendment into the Senate it would have .passed without a murmur of dis? sent from the committee and he did not thit.ik that, in the present cironim stances. there t hi tild lie the slightest hesitation tS* pass it. because, alth'cugh it had not .teeeived the approval of any committee, it had received the sanction ?if the secretary of war. "I am willing." said he. "to do anything that will sur eor the limited States .navy and Ma-ike dowini the monopoly that seeks to prey upan -this government." Mr. tAfiWon had a telegram .tend from Seiretairy AUger. saying that while he was willing that the improvement sheu'ld be made the money to lie ex? pended witihiim the discretion of the sec? retary of war. he thought the outer bar should! lie heft for the present t o as to Pievimit the too ready ingress of ft ,r elgre hostl'le. ships. It is better not." the seclaetary's dispatch read, "to open ?Miy deHHp iharbon^ that would admit wrtis.hi.ps. It would make simpl'y one more place to guard;" On this telegram the chair over-niihrd Mr. Allison's potnt of older and sub? mitted the otacstii m to the Senate why the ami. n.dmenu should not i>o consider? ed. An aye and no vote was taken on this propositiom and resulted in the negative 19-33. The vote had the effect of ruling the amendment out of order.
