F?RTHKK OPERATIONS OF THE FENIANS-TERRI?
BLE PHENOMENA AT MOUNT VESUVIUS-LIVER?
POOL MARKETS.
LONDON, January 4.-Evening.-The govern?
ment is almost continually in receipt of in?
formation relative to the movements of
the Fenians. Tue public excitement caused
by the recent operations of the Brotherhood
has by no means abated. Dispatches have
been received to-day Crom Cork giving details
of another Fenian movement in that locality.
A body of Fenians last night surreptitiously
entered the magazine in that city, and, un?
challenged, carried away more than half a ton
of blasting powder. There ia no clue to the
perpetrators of this mischief.
NAPLES, January 4.-The eruption of Mount
Vesuvius, which was described some few days
since as becoming still more intensely grand,
ia just pow quite alarming. The whole of the
volcano is in violent action, and flame issues
not only from the old crater and many new
openings to the air, but it continues to blaze
after ita ejection. A slight subsidence of the
volcanic motion had taken place, and on Mon?
day, the 9th of December, the mountain re?
mained almost quiescent, its sides being cover?
ed to a great extent with enow. A heavy colored
smoke issued from what the savana term the
"smoke holes," old and new. Tuesday night,
December 10, the eruption waa resumed
with great force, and a mass of lava,
resembling a solid rook, was shot from the
crater to a great height, and, as seen from
this city, rolled down the sides of the great
cone after falling. A loud roar, as if of ar til
lory, was heard during the entire night. The
mountain was veiled in darkness long after the
hour of daybreak next morning. As the fore?
noon advanced a strong wind sprung np from
the north and dispelled the gloom, and Vesu?
vius has been witnessed in its fiery daily gran?
deur since. To-day a perfect river of fire ia
Been to flow from the mountain, running in a
westerly, direction. The fiery flood ia nearing
the town of C?rcala. The upheaving of the
volcano are attended with shocks resembling
those of an earthquake and lond detonations,
as if a battery of heavy guns in full play are
heard. A perfect panic prevails among the in?
habitants of all the villages situated in the
neighborhood of the foot of the mountain.

STANTON'S JUSTIFICATION-QB A VE CHARGES
AGAINST THE PRESIDENT-CONGRESSIONAL NEWS
-FATS OF THE COTTON TAX.
WASHINGTON, January 6.-The Stanton re?
port to Congress takes the ground that he fa?
vored the Reconstruction acts, while the Pres!
dent evinced a disposition to disregard them,
and, if-possible, to take the absolute power in
to his own hands. This startling purpose on
the part of Mr. Johnson waa the real ground
of difference between the President and Stan
ton. Stanton contends that he bad a legal
right to refuse his resignation, as the circum?
stances justified his action. The report com?
bats all Of the President's positions, pit-oin g
him in the light of a false accuser, and con
duding with a resolution that the Senate do
not concur in Stanton's suspension. The re?
port impeaches the ? President's veracity re?
garding the New Orleans riots.
The House bill for extending bonnty pay?
ments, authorizes the employment of twenty
additional clarks in the Auditor's office.

The revenue to-day was $630,000.
The debt statement shows $150,000,000 in
coin, and $25,750,000 in currency in the Trea?
sury. The public debt has increased during
the month nearly $7,000,000.
It is said that the President will assign
General Gordon Granger to the command of
the sub-district of Alabama.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
In the Senate to-day Mr. Sumner introduced
a bill abolishing the eastern and extending the
western jurisdiction of the courts over Texas.
Wr. Wilson introduced & bill vacating certain
offices in Georgia, and authorizing the conven?
tion to fill them, which was ordered to be
printed.
An unsatisfactory discussion arose whether
the bill, passed b6fore the recess, abolishing
colored distinction was a law, and the matter
was referred to the Judiciary Committee.
The cotton tax question was resumed, and
after a long argument and numberless amend?
ments, the bill was passed, with an amend?
ment to the following effect: "Tax suspended
during 1868 on cotton grown during that year.
This suspension not to be construed to pre- ?
vent the recular levy of the tax after 1868.
The duty on raw cotton imported into the
United States from April 1st, 1868, to April 1st,
1869, is suspended." The bill g:es back to the
House for concurrence. The Senate then ad?
journed.
In the House, Special Revenue Commissioner
Wells' report was submitted. The bill expedi?
ting the payment of bounties was resumed.
An amendment referring the claims of negro
soldiers to the Freedman's Bureau for exami?
nation was adopted, and the bill was then
passed. The bill fox the sale ol? iron-clads was
passed. The Election Committee reported in
favor of swearing in Mr. Wimble, of Kentucky.
A joint resolution for the sale of the Chatta?
nooga Bolling M?l property was reported to
the Committee pn Military Affairs. The Speak?
er announced Messrs. Garfield, Poland and
Pruyn as Smithsonian regents. A bill to pre?
sent whiskey tax frauds was introduced. It
forbids the withdrawal of spirits from bond
under any circumstances until the full tax was
paid. The bill was passed.1 The House went
into a Committee of the Whole, when Mr. Ca?
rey spoke in favor of paying the debt in legal
tenders. The House then adjourned.

of the convection until pud into the State
Treasury, maling them receivable for all dues
of the State, a: id prohibiting tax receivers from
receiving any .?Tarrants other than those issued
by the convention. Mr. Cooley showed the
illegality of tr o proposed measures, and offer?
ed a substitu? e, providing that tax receivers
pay into the treasury the identical funda col?
lected. Both :neaaures were referred to a com?
mittee of threa, which reported to-day in favor
of Cooley's su bstitute, which was adopted after
a storjny debt te. In the proceedings to-day,

Di TER EB TI TO VIEWS OF CON3RESSHRN-EtfPOB
TANT LEGISLATION EXPECTED-THE FINANCES
ANS TAXATION-OPINIONS IN BEG ABD TO TBE
CUBBENGX AND CONTRACTION-SEDUCTION OF
TAXATION.
The Wikshington correspondent of the Balti?
more Sui. telegraphs, under date of Sunday
night:
Member's of Congress just returned from the
holiday v isit to their homes report that they
have beet-, urged by their constituents to use
their bes) efforts to immediately perfect the ne?
cessary legislation on questions of finance and
taxation, to the end that these may be speedily
and wisely settled, not only in obedience to the
emergency of the times, but as well that these
Save matters may be determined before the
esideniial election, and thus keep them as
free as possible from party politics.
These members represent that recently some
modification in sentiment has taken place on
the propositions to increase paper currency and
to contra ct the same, the first-increase of cur?
rency- b aing urged less, and the latter-con?
traction-scarcely at all; that the proposition
to tax government bonds has grown m favor;
that the mode and time of paying these bonds
is engaging the earnest consideration of the
people; that there is a well-defined division of
opinion-except in oases where the law in ex?
press lai guage on this subject directs the pay?
ment in coin-and it is difficult to determine
whether there is a majority in favor of re?
deeming these obligations in currency. Some
also represent that there is not such earnest
and act ve opposition to the national banka as
was manifested at the commencement of the
November session of Congress.
But above all other questions upon whioh
the peo] ile express solicitude, that of taxation
is probably foremost. The reduction of the
aggregate sum collected (about five hundred
millions) is advised, and the popular idea
seems to be that it should be fixed, as an ex?
periment, for the present at least, at about
three hundred million do"; irs. It is also ad?
vised that the number of taxable articles be
greatly reduced; that the cotton tax should be
at once repealed; that the income tax is odious
^nd inquisitorial, and should be abolished;
that tho tax on distilled spirits should be great?
ly reduced, some urging twenty, others fifty
cents per gallon. They say that there is an
almost unanimous belief among intelligent
commercial men that the present tax upon
spirits <:an never be collected, because it is so
iisprof ortionate to the cost of production,
ind that this tax results in a prohibition upon
fair an i open business. Such is substantially
the information your correspondent has to-day
3btaine d in conversations with Congressmen
fresh from conference with their constituents.
ms PEESLDENT AND THE 8UPBEHE CO ?BT AND
RECONSTRUCTION.
A Washington telegram to the New York
Herald says:
The cases expected to come before the Uni?
ted Stite.? Supreme Court shortly, involving
the question or the constitu'?o.nality of the Be
conatraotion acts, are giving rise to a good
many speculations. Of course all stories pro?
f?semete unfold what will be the decision of
the Jr dges on this important question are en?
tirely unauthorized and based upon the judg?
ments or imaginations of private parties. No
one cen know in advance what will be the con
clusio as of the learned Judges. The latter will
bear both sides, and then make up their deci?
sions from the arguments and legal pr?c??
dents advanced, making a litt .6 allowance, of
COUTS 3, tor the political bias of each of the
Judges. But this may be said-that should
the supreme judicial tribunal of the land de?
clare unconstitutional the action of Congress in
enac t .ng the rebel States out of the Union, dis
franc rising white voters and forcing negro suf?
frage 8nd African supremacy upon the people of
thosf unhappy districts, the course or the Ex?
ecutive may be pretty certainly indicated even
at th 3 present moment. The President, in all
probability, would ia tb ai ?Yent hasten to pro
claim that the rebel States were never ou
the Union, and that, ergo, the people of th
States are still entitled to all the civil rig
(save and except property in slaves), enjo
by them anterior to the acts of secession; t
the subordination of the civil to military
thority has been illegal, and must immedial
be abolished; and that all the past action
der the Congressional reconstruction pol
has been null and void. Following this oui
to its natural results he would, to be com
tent, have to recall the military governors, w
their numerous trains of satellites, and r.
haps would remove all semblance ot milit
surveillance, save such as prudence would s
gest to be necessary to the preservation of I
and order, in view of the alleged negro a
spiracies and the supposed disaffection s til
many of the white residents.
RKTiTRF FOB THE DESTITUTE SOUTHERNER!:
In order to afford prompt relief to those in
vidusls in the Southern States who are sufi
ing from poverty, Major-General Howard si
matted, a few days since, to General Grant
his approval, a plan to supply provisions fri
the fund in his possession for the use of i
Freedmen's Bureau. The plan submilb
briefly stated, is to instruct assistant comm
Bioners of the Bureau to select a proper ag?
in e ach district to issue sufficient food to thc
persons who are actually suffering from wai
each agent to be allowed to issue to about o
hundred persons, taking as security for t
issue a hen on the crops, and to be held i
sponsiblo for the reimbursement of the Bure
for the advance made. The money to supf
such provisions is to be taken irom the fun
of the Freedmen's Bureau to whatever arnon
the commissioner may find it expedient to d
vote to that purpose. General Grant appro v.
of the proposition, and it is expected that i
struct ?ons to carry the plan into execution w
be given to the assistant commission OTB of tl
Bureau within the coming week.
A GLOOMY VIEW OF THE SITUATION OF AFFAIRS :
THE SOUTH-DESTRUCTION OF THE AMERICA
COTTON TEASE.
The Washington correspondent of the Cb
cago Times writes under date of January 2 :
I have seen and conversed with leading cit
zens from the South, of both parties, and tl
universal cry is, that ruin and desolation ove:
spread the entire land. It is computed th<
over 8,000,000 of persons are, at the preso:
moment, without visible means of support. .
gentleman writing from Little Bock. Arkaaaa:
to a leading Democratic member of Congresi
says that over 20,000 negroes will be out of en
ploy ment in that region; that they had bee
working cotton on naif shares, and that th
yield has not paid the expenses. The conse
quence is, they get nothing, while they ignc
rantly accuse the planters of defrauding them
A gentleman from Georgia writes to a fr?en
here that the rich rice lands of that State cai
be bought for $140 per acre, aud other land
at 50 cents. Another gentleman from tba
State writes that there is no money in it, m
enterprise, and that starvation must be the lo
of thousands, both white and black. Fron
Mississippi the news is worse. There, anne?
bands or negroes roam through the country
El under in g every one. The larmer's smoke
ouse and corn-crib are regularly sacked. Thi
South is, in fact, a ruined and desolated conn
try. and is still further threatened with a fat?
?tua, if any, better than Mexico. This is th?
social condition, and it is borne out to the let
ter by the report of Gen. A. C. Gillern, of th?
Freedmen's Bureau, at Vicksburg, Miss., whe
also fully confirms the statement that tho ne
groes have been impressed with the idea thal
they are to be given land of their own, and
they will not accordingly leave tho promise
which Uley at present occupy. In fine, thc
condition of things presents but one aspect in
the future, and that is a social war of races, in
which the weaker must succumb in the end,
but which must result in untold horrors tc
both whites and blacks. This is the subject
which must engage the immediate attention
of Congress. In fact, that body should have
grappled with it ere now. It is also part and
parcel of the great financial problem which is
upon us. For, the South being virtually deso?
lated, her industries of all kiuds are destroyed,
and she must, for years to come, provo a bill
of expense to the nation, instead of a benefit,
as it was supposed she immediately would.
Thus, Senator Sprague, a few days since, made
a very significant speech in the Senate. I say
significant, not because it come from Senator
Sprague, who is really a political automaton,
but because the points in it were furnished by
bis near relative. Amasa Sprague, of Rhode
Island, a man of ability and great business
capacity, and a partner of the youthful Sena?
tor. The firm, I learn, has lost over a minion
of dollars on cotton within a few months, and
Amasa speaks what he knows when be makes
his relative in the Senate prono mice the doom
of the Southern cotton trade. He says that sea
island cotton will soon bo a rarity, seldom
seen except in gentlemen's gard?es. He
states that India has wrested the monopoly of
the growth of cotton from tho United States.
He also says, speaking of tho cotton tax: "You
will endeavor to go back upon your past legis?
lation, to amend, to repair, to heal, to cure it,
if you can. My judgment is, that it will be
the hardest task that was ever in the hands or
minds of politicians or statesmen." There is
no doubt of the truth of this, and one need
only look to the Liverpool market reports to
demonstrate it. The cable telegrams of to?
day, from the great cotton mart of Europe,
reads: "Total stock of cotton in port. 473,
000 bales, of which 93,000 bales are American."
This tells the whole story, and that is the de?
thronement, perhaps forever, of the rule of
American cotton in the markets of the world.
India, Egvpt, and Turkey now take the place
of the United States, as cotton-producing
countries, while a staple valued at between
$100,000,000 and $150,000,000 per annum, and
thus balancing our exchanges to that amount,
is threatened with entire destruction in this
country. Indeed, from all I can gather from
the South, the prospect of another cotton crop
of any very appreciable amount or quantity is
dubious indeed. All those engaged in the bu?
siness this year complain that they have lost
money by it, which will doubtless deter them
or others from engaging in it again. The
negroes are also deserting tho rice and sugar
growing as well as the riob, low land, cotton
sections, and betaking themselves to the up?
hill regions, where they are squatting, and liv?
ing by shooting gamo, or plundering the farm?
ers, who are miserably off themselves.
To add, then, to the financial embarrass?
ments of the North, wo have a total prostra?
tion of the special industry of the South. Nev?
ertheless, Congress dawdles along, and acts as
it it considered hesitation and delay, as re?
gards financial matter, the safest and surest
way out of our present and most hopeless en?
tanglement. The Senate has not acted on the
question of stopping contraction, nor on that
of repealing the cotton tax. And why? Be?
cause that body is controlled by the bondhold?
ers and moneyed and aristocratic interests, in?
cluding that of the New England manufactur?
ers, and hopes to ride over all present difficul?
ties, political as well as financial, at least un?
til relief comes in the shape of a President
elected in their iuterest, under the over?
shadowing prestige of rnilitary glory. They
think that, by sundry and divers comparative?
ly unimportant measures-such as the status
of American citizens abroad, purchase of for?
eign territory, and even reconstruction-until
the election for President takes placo, they can
pass over the consideration of measures vital
to the prosperity, and even perpetuity, of the
government. But I learn that Republican
members of Congress ore already flooded with
letters from their constituents, to the effect
that the negro, and even reconstruction, are
played out; that, even at the North, the wolf,
in the shape of threatening bankruptcy and
ruin, is at their doors; and that if Congress
does not at once come to the relief or the
country, the Radical party ia doomed to a
crushing defeat, no matter wno the leader is.
HOW THE PEOPLE ABE PLUNDERED.
And while the Southern people and their in?
dustries are being rapidly destroyed, the cor?
morants are actually pioking the very bones of
the Southern social carcass, or what remains
of it. Thus, Congress passed an act that
every bale of cotton should be weighed,
marked and sampled at an expenbe of not over
thirty-five cents for each operation. Now,
the port of New Orleans, it was oxpected,
would receive and ship 800,000 bales. At
thirty-five cents per bale for each operation,
the neat little sum of $000,000 would be real?
ized at that port alone. But Colonel Phd. B.
Fouke, of your State, offered to do it lor twen?
ty-five cents per bale. Not being in the
'rmagic ring," however, he did not get it, and
the job was given to the "inevitable Casey,"
married into the Dent family, which is also
married into the Grant family, or vice versa,
whichever you will have it. In fact, the Dent
family and all its branches are to Grant what
the Todd family was to Lincoln. So the Dent
family, or its collateral branohes, are just now
in the enjoyment of a most preoious picking,
to the amount of some hundreds of thousands
of dollars, from the carcass of the poor,
slaughtered "bird of slavery."
STILL ANOTHER AND EN0HM0U3 "BORE TO PIOS."
. Bat there is another bone of the- Southern
carcass which is being picked clean, and that
ia the results of the eales of confiscated cotton
and other articles of Southern "portable pro?
perty,".as Mr. Wemmick would call it. The
sum derived from these sales, [ am credibly
informed, has, for the past two or three years,
averaged between $40,000,000 anfl $60,000,000;
that is, that amount of money bas been lying
on deposit to tho credit of that- account as it
stands on the treasury books. But the money
has not been kept in the treasury. Such a
compliance with the law would be perfectly ab?
surd in this age. in which constitutional action
of officials in all positions ia the exception, not
the rule. Oh, no 1 it has been deposited with
Messrs. Jay, Cooke & Co. ever since the hal?
cyon day of Secretary Chase, and has consti?
tuted one of the most splendid funds for pri?
vate banking purposes ever knovn in the his?
tory of the world. At 5 or 6 percent, on call,
the revenue from it would reach the very
princely sum of $2,250,000 or 12,700,000 per
annum. Indeed, I fear that, when the balance
that remained of it really was cvllod into the
treasury by Secretary Mcculloch, a few weeks
before the assembling of Congress, the effect
upon the New York money market was most
terribly depressing, and lame docks became
most unpleasantly frequent in the neighbor?
hood of Wall-street and the stock exchange.
But this ia not the only fund whiob the favor?
ed banking-bouse are allowed to wield. They
are the depository also of the navy fond. And it.
was only a comparatively short fame since that j
the army fund was, by order of Congress, de
Bosited in its proper place, the treaanry of the
hited States.
The question is : Who dividas with these
private bankers the immense revenues derived
from these funds?
CAUSES OF POPE'S REMOVAL.
A Washington dispatch to the Boston Post|
says:
It is known that the Executive had long con?
templated relieving General Pope of his com?
mand, but I am permitted to state, as the
immediate cause of his removal, the following
facts which have been officially communicated
to the President: Under the State laws, the
census of Alabama was taken in 1866, showing
a population of 106,000 white males over the
age of twenty-one years, and91.000 blacks. The
late registration, under General' Pope's manip?
ulations, resulted in registering 74,000 whites
and 90,000 blacks, 'the Burean Constitution
is to be voted for on the 4th day of February,
and, as already stated in this correspondence,
the negroes since the registration have become
very muoh scattered, owing to their long habit
of changing homes at the beginning of a new
year. To counteract the effect of this change
bf residence. General Pope issued an order that
any person offering to vote in any county
should be allowed to do so upon making affida?
vit that his name had been registered. This
order also provided that, fourteen days preced?
ing the election, the registrars throughout tile
?tate should open their lists for revision, and
keep them open five days. A revision similar
to this was had preceding the election for dele?
gates to the Convention. Affidavits are before
the President to the effect that a large number
sf negroes nuder the age of twenty-one were
permitted to register and vote, and unless Gen
3ral Pope had been removed the same would
igain be allowed. .
The Prospect for American Cotton.
[From Senator Sprsgue's Speech.]
The cause -which has operated to dethrone
lotion, the cause whioh bas operated to de?
stroy it as a monopoly, is what ? An
:>ver production of cotton in this country?
No, sir. I am humiliated ia being obliged
bo admit the fact that wit! this poor, de?
spised, short-stapled, husky1 India cotton,
i fabric is to-day produced by the skill ana
labor of Englishmen equal to the best fabric
that American machinery has yet been able to
produce. This is the cause ol the present de?
pression of the cotton manufacture in this coun?
try and throughout the world. Sir, the question
sefore you is not whether you ?hall tax an ex?
isting interest, but it is whether cotton is an
?xi8ting interest. If the people of the South
those whose means are to be invested in this
;rop-knew the exact circumstances, my life
for it they would not invest a single dollar in it.
ft has been my privilege to plant cotton, com?
mencing in 1862 and following it up to the pre?
sent time. I know something of the necessa?
ries required to grow that crop. As you have
been told, in the month pf January the furrow
is made; in the month of February the seed
is planted; and then the hoeing commences
3con after. If you postpone this measure you
postpone the cultivation of this crop. What
man will place seed in the ground with this
tax weighing upon bim, certain to destroy
tum? Who will commence the planting of
jotton nuder such circumstances ? Sir, in my
judgment, yon have not this interest m your
lianas. I am afraid that yon have lost it for?
ayer. But it may not be. If you are wise yon
re-ill look upon it in this light; you will endeavor
to go back upon your past legislation, to
mend, to repair, to heal, to cure, if you can.
My judgment is that it will be the hardest
task that ever was in the hands or minds of |
statesmen. I fear for the existence of the
manufactures of my own State in consequence
jf this alarming condition of things. I fear
that the fabrics produced from the oheap cot?
ton which is now grown in India will, in spite
)f all tariffs, find their way into this country
ind be consumed by the American people, and
then, let me ask, what will be our position m
New England ? There is one other point on
nrhioh I wink it is important that the Sen
xte should be informed, and that is in re?
gard to the different qualities of cot?
ton. We boast of the Sea Island cotton
ts being unequalled by any, and we feel sure
hat we have a monopoly in that from which
DO thing oan oust us. And yet, B?T, in my
udgment. n jt two years will nave passed over
is when, instead of its being cultivated as it
ios been in years past, it will be known only
n some gentleman's garden as a reminder of
what once has been, and it will be merely a
}lant of ornament. The Egyptian cotton ia to
lay being introduced into seven-sigh tbs of the
Iner qualities of goods that the Sea leland cot
ion was heretofore used for. I hope I have made
nyself understood. I wish I could create in the
nind of every Senator the alarm that I feel. We
lave been told that we of the North are rich; the
Jenator from Massachusetts (Mr. Wilson) tells
is we are seven times richer than we were be?
ere the war. I wish I could believe it. What
lave we to show for these alleged ri ohos ? We
lave spent $5.000,000.000; we raised $600^000,
)00. We had the South before the war. Have
ve it any more now than we had before ? Is it
iny more prosperous than it was before the
var ? Is it worth as muob ? Why. sir, I know
he fact that many of the principal plantations
>f the South are not worth one-twentieth part
ts much as they were then.
Mr. Nra-Why ?
Mr. SPKAOTTE-Why? Because it will not
iay to cultivate them and to hold them, as I
snow.
OLD MAN GBANT SOUNDS ms Box "ULXBS."
\ Washington correspondent of a Western
Daper says : The general's father came to town
the other day and stopped with "?lyas." os he
:alls his boy, whom he found seated at bis fire?
side, smoking, of course, and surrounded by
members of his private and military family.
a bout the first thing the old gentleman did
ifter shedding his overcoat, was toc?me at
bis umpumpable offspring with, "Ulyse, are
you in favor of nigger suffrage ?' No response,
inly vigorous puna. "I sayJDlyss, are you in
favor of nigger suffrage?" "What do you think
sf it?" inquires the general, with Yankee
shrewdness. The old one stated his position,
he's for an intelligence qualification, and so on.
"Well, now, Uly ss, Pve answered your ques?
tion, I want you to answer mino : Are you in
favor of nigger suffrage ? If you are, you'd
get beat all hollow, with all your popularity,
for Ohio went fifty thousand against it, and if
she was to vote again on it to-morrow, she'd
go a hundred thousand the aame way." "I
haven't talked politics much for the last five
or six years," was the reply of Ulysses the
Silent. At last accounts the old gentleman
was in doubt as to the position of "Ulyaa" on
negro suffrage.
THE CHARLESTON DAILT NEWS, one of our

in its price of subscription from ten to six
dollars per annum, a bold step, certainly, for
these hard times. THE NEWS comes as near

A LETTES FBOH BOX WEB ABOUT SprairuiL
D3M.-The iLondon correspondent of the New
York Times says:
Ever a ince the publication of "A Strange
Story," the Spiritualists both in America and
England have claimed Lord Lytton as a be?
liever in rat-hole revelation. Lately, a famous
Spiritualist, Mr. Benjamin Colonia'a, a gentle?
man whom Mr. Sothern once sued for libel in
certain spiritual matters, asked Lord Lvtton
what were his real views on Spiritualism,
whereupon the following letter wss returned:
! I have not witnessed any of the phenomena
mentioned as exhibited through the Marshalls
or at Jurs. Hough ton's. They mt et be very
curious if genuine. I must decline expressing
my opinion as to the cause of .met effects
(when the effects are not traceabh to impos?
ture), because I have not collected a sufficient
number of acknowledged facts for the founda?
tion of a scientific theory. So far as I have
seen or read on the subject, ? see no necessity
to resort to the machinery of a world of spirits
for the causes or effects produced on the
senses which we obtain through material
forms, by agencies which originate in another
material form (viz: the medium) ind operate
upon or through matter, but not more matter
than the complicated organization necessary
for the utterance of a voice. In all controver?
sies on this question, I have found no clear
definition of what is meant hy spirit, nor does
inquiry seem to me to have been directed
through the channels demanded by a physiolo?
gist or metaphysician.
AU the experiments I have wi tnt peed, if sin?
cerely probed, go against the notion that the
phenomena are produced by the spirits of the
.dead; and I imagine that no man who can take
care of his pockets would give np his property
to a claimant who could bear cross examina?
tion as little as some alleged spirit who de?
clares he is your father or friend, and tells you
when he died, and then proceed: to talk rub?
bish of which he would have been incapable
when be was alive. I can conceive no pros
8oct of the future world more melancholy than
lat in which Voltaires and Shokspeares are
represented as having fallen inte boobies, or,
at best, as intellects below mediocrity.
THE WAY Mr. DICKENS BEADS.-Tho Boston
Post describes the Dickens readings in Tre?
mont Temple:
The order at the Dickens readings in the
Temple: First the audience, all bustling and
fervor-women crowding, pushing:, wishing ev?
erybody out of the way-the little passageway.
A little before eight the Dickons gas man
appears; takes a view at the side of the plat?
form and contents; retires to an finte-room; in
one minute and a half comes out again. Look
No 2. Retires ; come out again and goes on the
platform; lets on the gas; blandly surveys the
gorgeous spectacle, retires quite satisfied; au?
dience all eye and expectation; er ter Dolby and
views the scene so charming with a tremendous
air of importance-in fact, of several airs; re?
tires, reports progress, reappear*, takes a con
centratedly tremendous loon, says to himself:
"All right-perfect," and retires. Eight o'clock
and three minutes; Dickens appears, book in
hand, rose in lappei, white vett and necktie,
shining diamond, blooming face, sparkling eye;
trips to the platform as lively as a gazelle
trips to the desk ditto; applause; more ap?
plause; Dickens bows; bows one-;, twice, three
times. Begins: "Ladies and gen Jemen, I have
the honor to read from," etc. Beads two hoars;
runs down to ante-room, takes some beer, says
to Dolby: "Big business this-$3500 for a cou?
ple of hours; people must think it good; DoL,
we must make hay while the sun shines, you
know." They then walk round to the Parker
House, and dine and wine.
THE INCOME TAX IN ENGLAND.-A London
correspondent of the Chicago Tribune gives
an account of the operation of the income tax
in England. The. mode;in which the taxis
levied is as follows : "Each year every em
Eloyer of labor, whether in a* factory, wareh?
ouse, office or shop, or on an estate, receives
a form on which he has, under threat bf large
penalties, to write the names of the indivi?
d?ale in bis employ, or who are in the receipt
of wages or salary amounting to one hundred
pounds sterling a year. He does not state him?
self the exact amount each individual receives,
but merely supplies his name and his address.
The person thus on the hst speedily hears from
the tax collector of his district, and is called
upon ia turn to give the amount of his income,
signing a solemn asseveration of the truth of
his report." The income lists tire not publish?
ed or open to -inspection as in the United
States.
The practice is to keep the incomes strictly
secret. The commissioners aro sworn to se?
crecy, and the returns sent in are declared to
be destroyed, though I believe some of them
have turned up in the butter shops, together
with the torn leaves of modera books of fic?
tion. In a great number of oases, where the
real income is small, though Ihe undertaking
is large, and it is a necessity to appear well on
even to income tax commissioners, who are
but men, and generally business men, too, the
.firm lets the commissionen apportion the
profits and the amounts of ;he loss, submit?
ting resignedly to pay on sup posed profits of
:?10,000 a year, when they were possibly under
?100. Thus humbug is a set-off to some ex?
tent against dishonesty. In thousands of
cases the comm is si on or a ref iso to accept th?
returns unto the man of business has shown
them his books and proved his case; but with
professional and speculative men this does not
apply. I should further explain that men pay
on an average of three years. If a man can
affirm that he has not received as mnoh as
?100 a year on an average for the three pre?
ceding years, be can claim exemption, but as
many difficulties as possible are thrown in the
way.
ANOTHXB HELLISH OOTHA BE.-A negro in
Henry oounty, a few days si noe, went to the
house of a respectable family by the name of
McKieaick, seized a young lady and carried her
Into the woods, choking her into a state of un?
consciousness, and inflicting upon her a suffer?
ing worse than death; and then, to complete
the horrible tragedy, took a pine knot and
broke her skull, and left her for dead. To
avoid suspicion, he then returned to his work
in the field, as though ignorant of what had
occurred. Contrary to his expectations, the
poor girl recovered and crawled back to the
bouse. The negro was soon arrested and ac
kuowledged the crime. He ia, we learn, now
in jail awaiting his trial. But how long will his
fellow-leaguers permit him to remain there ?
[Clayton (Jia) Timet, 19/?.
FABHEBB COMING? SOOTS.-The extent to
which tho farming communities in many of
the Northern States are moving to more genial
climates and an easier til.ed soil is hardly
generallv known. One ol! our real estate
agents in Wilmington informs us that he now
has on file applications and inquiries from no
less than three hundred parties in reference to
lands for sale on the Peninsula. They write
from all the New England States, New York,
Pennsylvania, Ohio, and States further West,
while one gentleman writes from Tennessee.
Most of the parties desire a less severe olimate,
with a shorter winter.
[Wilmington {DeL) Commercial
-One of the most prominent and cautious of
London journals speaks of the "tens of thou?
sands oi men and woman starving in East
London, and in Liverpool and in Cornwall,"
and its accounts of the aggravated misery of
these helpless multitudes are horrible to hu?
manity. In a large number of manufacturing
industries, and in many lines of business, the
condition of things is exceedingly dull, and
the prospeots gloomy. Ll some respects we
are bad enough off in thia country, but wo
have nothing like the starving myriads of Eng?
land.
-Le Follet, the great Trench authority in
fashions, says : "The crinoline, which it waa
behoved at one time would disappear, will re?
sume more authority that, ever this winter. It
1B true that it will no longer come out in the
shape of a bell but rumor i-ays that it will rather
take the form of a basket. The toilet which
her Majesty the Empress has worn at the open?
ing of the Chambers foreshadows this fashion
of Queen Marie Antoinette. It would, in fact,
not have been consequential to keep up the
fashion of loose-fitting Bkirts with long trains
unless people wished to give themselves the
appearance of spectres. Loose-fitting costumes
were not anyhow very graceful, except for
quite young ladies; tho round skirt only might
perhaps have adapted itself to that order of
things, but its proportions were too moderate
to be admissible as an official toilet for any
length of time. The widely spread skirt with
tram will therefore be the order of the day
again for ball costumes, as we]} as for walking
?ad oreo morning dresses,
