Grant 1 lie Diiralnlcnu Hrpnbllr The Census The Caba Mnssncrc bprnsac'a Exposures. Washington-, April 4, 1SS6. Tho GhinesB puzzl9 sent to President Grant by the two Houses of Congrts', entitled an aet modiiytins: the ac: regulating the tenure of civil offices, will not b9 pocketod by that distinguished official as has been generally Bapposed, but It will receive his approval with a mental reservation that be not only disapproves the wretched farce enacted by our grave legislators, but will, in the distribution of office, remember the names of those who favored hla wearing the Congressional shackles forged for the special bBnefit of the late executive.

Several distinguished gentlemen who are in a position to know, during a conversation last evening, stated that it was the purpose of the President to 6lgn the new bill as he was not, at this early day of hia administration, nrenared for an ooen ruDture be tween himself and the Senate, but that I nnf lit eynnlit Ha nhla t.ft fret aloBg harmoniously with Congres3 by judiciously dispenslDg Executive patronage amonc the factions. it is rumored among politicians to dcy that President Grant has completely abandoned the pjeition he bad at oae time assumed In defense of the S'-atn Government of Georgia and now expresses great confidence in the wisdom of Congress to deal with the fcubject properly, adding that tho great law of necessity might probably override all mere legal or Constitutional technicalities a declaration worthy of a great military chieftain. Gaorgla, it is now thought, will have to succumb to necessity," re gardless of her anxiety to have peace and the members of the delegation who have been here for weeks representing the interests of the antl urging the Administration to sustain the present State authorities," sdmit their mitiflua-tion at haviog been delivered by Grant's Pickwickian declaration Let us have pe.ce." Governor Builcck, almost single hxnded, hay won the victory and all the statements of Gen. Meade, backed by scores of Republican judges and other State officers of Georgia, pass for nothing. In the meantime, the notorious foster Blodgett is reinstated as Postmaster ia Augusts, and this straw is sufficient to show the direction of the wind.

Toe confirmation by the Senate yesterday of Gen. Lonestr'eet as Surveyor pf the port of New Orleans, has oreoted grc.it dissatisfaction among the extreme Radicals in both branches of CoDgrees, and the violent speech of Brownlow against him being quoted on all eldes In condemnation of those Republicans who voted for Gen, favorite Lieutenant. Mrs. Graat has delighted the beau monde of Washington by announcing that her afternoon receptions will commence TtMfdsy next, and be repeated every Tuesday from 2 to 4 o'clock. on Friday presented to the House Committee on Foreign Atiairs a ooniplete official exhibit of the industrial E14" "Sc "i' Republic, certified to by the Minister of the interior anu Amirs, which was received with much satisfaction.

Prof. Wm. M. Gabb, of Philadelphia, baa been appointed State Geologist of St. Domingo by President Baez, and proposes to mase a full geological ond min-eralogieal examination of the When Mr.

Delmr was Director of the 3areau ot Statistics bo originated a plan lor taking the census through the Assessors oT Internal Revenue. The oen-au far 1868, that arrangement, is completed as far as it is likely to be. Where there are no from Assessors the deficiencies have ncensupp'led by eetimaUe. The present Special Commissioner of Customs has etofped the work, not teeming to attach mucn Importance to it, and is in no way responsible for the Tne recapitulation of the population of the United States and Territories, for theyearlS68, as made up through the means stated, is as foliowe: White population of the S'ates, colored, 4 The total, with the population of the District of Columbia and the Territories, i3 35 422,995.

She wai ettfUod within the Spanish lines with lier family under the pretense of meeting her busbend, and the whole party were bntehered by the Infuriated volunteers Several pretended agents of the CubM, supposed to be Spanish emisssriee, have been endeavoru to vorious Individuals without authority or sanction, either from the Provisional Government In Cuba er its representatives here. It aopears from authentic Information from the vicinity of Stutisgo de Cuba, that the insurrection is steadily progressing.

VeU 'intarmtd Cubans in Washington fcelietfe the insurgents have by this time, Jin a few days, have secured a eeaport. The in Congress are much puzzled, Kccofding to the showing of their newspaperr, as to the animus of Beuator Spmgue'a erratic curee (so-called.) "Wnat does it mean?" is in everybody's mouth. Grave Honators cannot be brought to think" for a moment that the man can be aetuated by disinterested and honest "Who Is In degenerate days This is the universal exclamation. Consequently, at every tarn is heard speculations us to gprsgm'a ulterior oljact. "He has some cplendid speculation ia view," says one.

He aims to make his father-in-law the next President," eays another. Now I know, ami therefore tay nothing of the gentleman' financial, manufacturing or commercial intentions, but it is in my power to assure oil concerned (from very rtcent and trustworthy information) that if there be one thing more than another that the RbodeLland Senator strenuously endeavors to steer clear of, it is tho giving of the elighest cauee or the imputation that he is under the leading strings of Julge Chase. He even carries this whim to a ridiculous extent. It is more tban suspected that but for the known sentiments of the Chief Justice, and the fear of invidius insinuations ty his tyrants, be would Jjave cut loose from them on the occasion of the impeachment trial. JJut what a striking proof does the almost universal dtbeltef in the possibility of a Bilcal Senator's disinterested nesa and Iruth affjrd of the verity of Senator Bprague'aobarge-agalnst his fel- Jow-mernbere? The gravamen of his indictment is the prevalence of general -depravity.

Have we not come to a pretty pats wncn corruption has become eo rife 'la high places, that its very exposure subjects tbo informer to tho suspicion of plans of still deeper enormity A solution reasonable, and Indeed irresistible, of the Senator's recent shoot, IB roiuiv at hand, and more cridiUble to blm, aid Indeed to tho age wLijh weJ live. An tne very uaiuro i nnutjoj ouuu gang of conspirators against the peace cf the country and Its strong box, at the conclave now calling itself a of the United States, must, in prusecutiug Itsmschinitlons, at least reacb-a point where the less-hardened in inlqultj must needs recoil from taking another Biep. Such was avidently the status of Mr. Spragne when he determined, come weal or woe, to break loose from the ehicklts of his slavery. It was high time, when, fJB he says, he knew of cases iq which legislators" were offered bribes as high aBahundrod thousand dollars for a ein-gle vote, the bribers still walking the streets of the metropolis unmolested.

Like all contrabands when suddenly released from such a thraldom and ushered Into the broad daylight of glorious blue-eyed liberty, the Senator has been a littlejcquaoicm. Let him go on in the aanre strain and rejoice to his heart's content over his courageous, nay, miraculous escape but let him remember that hisevelations of Congressional corruptions are quite superfluous; the country knows all about tbem. Let him organize his "third party" and go ahead! but let his former associates calm their apprehensions on the score of coalitions. The Conservatives will be satisfied with the rank and file. OBITUAKY.

PROF. ROB LET DUNGLISON. Profeesor Rabley Dunglison, M. whose death, on April 1st, has been announced, was born in Keswlch, Eag-land, in 179S. After graduating, he commenced th practice of medicine in Lsn-1od, in 1819, but in 1821 emigrated to the United States, at the solicitation of ex-President Jeiferson, and filled the chair of Institutes of Medicine In the Univers -ty of Va.

Philadel phia Ledger. SIR JAMES EMERSON TENNEN'T. On Saturday, the C.h Sir James Tennent, walking out near his own house in Eoc'leston Square, was smitten with such pain that he knocked for ad mittance st a houre in Lupus street, and token to see lodgings, following some newspaper paragraph which advised such a proceeding as the readiest way for a dyioi; man to be admitted to a Christian home. Thanks to town rob' hers and swindlers for the heartlossness which necessitates this. In the first floor of that house he died, killed by apoplexy and overdoes of oolohicum, taken for cant.

Sir Emerson haa Dseti Secretary of the Indian Board, but is best known by bis authnrshio. Daring his residence in Ceylon, designed an exhaustive work on the so cial. political, religious and natural his tory of that island. He can scarcely besYtd to have accomplished all he designed, but his Christianity in Ceylon, published In 1850, and his more recent Ceylon, an Account of the Island, mitrht have done if he had had his leis ure. He was also author of a work on Travels in Greace; Belgium in 18(0 on the Copyright of Design and on Wine.its Uao ana Taxation.

Hs was Prmaaent Secretary to the Board of Trade, and in withdrawing from that post in 1397 the made him a Baronet. He was in his sixty-lifth year, and had spent two- thirds of his life in the service of his country. BICHABD D. WOOD. R'chard D.

Wood, whoso death cn April 1st is announced, was born at Greenwich, Cumberland county, New Jersey, in March, 1790. At an early age ho took charge of his father's country and in 1818 removed to Silem, New Jersey, and commenced nusmess ror mm-self. He nest came to Pa.Iadelphia and established the firm of Wood, Abbott Wood, of which, through its various changes, be remained a member till his deatb. The number of business enterprises in which Mr. Wood became interested is very large.

Of these the principal are. the railroads of southern New Jersey tho manufacture of iron, ge and water pipes; the cotton mills, and the bleaching and dye works at Millville, New Jersey, and the Cambria Iron Company. His fortune is estimated at gsveral millions. Philadelphia Ledger. ANOTHER VETERAN GONE.

Don Jose Maria Hsrrers, who was the last survivor of the patriots who signed the Declaration of Iodpendenco which cut the Isthmus off from Spanish rule, died in this city on the 15. hist at the advanced age of ecventy-eight year. The deceased was one of tho eld school of pa'rijte, of whom a vestige now hBrdiy remains in the country. Ho was an bontftt and upright man, and esteemed and beloved by all who knew him.

Panama Star and Herald. An Eldorado in Xen Zealand We have been favored with the following extract from a letter received from Westport, New Zealand, which will no doubt prove interesting to the public This is a wonderful place. Tho mountains seem crammed with gold. Tho diggers make about S0 per man per week. Abiut 16,000 ounces leave West-port per month.

The place is full of all sorts of treasures; even tho common stones on the roads glitter in the sun like silver with mica; and on the beach to Charleston the smd is blood red, being composed of minute rubles. This for about two miles along the coast. Our house looks out from the front over the vast and mighty ocean, the beach extending for miles and miles. The township is not a quarter of a mile from the sea, and at the back hills upon hills rear their heida in majestic splendor, some covered with perpetual snow. Tne gold fields are quite close to us in fact, all around Caledonian diggings, six miles (iff; Giles Terrace, three; District Leads, three Addison's six Charleston, twenty; Brighton, thirty two.

Some people fancv this a barbarous and uncivilized place. Qilte the reverse there is a great deal to be seen here. Diggers will have amusement, and ecatter their gold about like wild oats. The reverse of this picture at Westport is that you eee nothing green no gardens, nor shrubs; not even a blade of gras3. Panama Star and Herald.

The White I'ine Excliement i'rmtclsco. In San The number of whiteQpine companies organized for operations, on Montgomery and California is fast getting up into the hundreds. In the white pine district itself, practical mining and pros- Ceotlng are only exceptionally possible, reason of the extreme cold and snow, but the baaineas of forming corporations In this city goes on with increasing energy, and there is likely soon to be a heavy production of metal from snug bank accounts and old purses, ending in the development of a huge wild cat. That seme of the pines placed on the market, and bringing prices already ranging from $10 to S100 a share, are really valuable, la a fact tha'. may not be disputed but It is impossible that three-fourths of the locations will real zs what!" repnrted of them to credulous buyers.

San Fran-Cisco Bulletin. Tbe B. Johnsbury (Vt.) Caledonian says that maple sugarmakers louk down intbemcutb. There has no sugar weather yet, and If there should be auy, not one in twenty could Improve It, as it would be impossible to get a team into the ugar camps without several day's hard labor. A 'ii MEAT E1VJEFACTI1) flu IIotelH for Working Hen and Woman A.

T. Stewart, of Nevr York, Is about to exDend six millions of dollars in build ing two immense hotels Jar working young women and young men. uon-tracts ir the same have been entered into. The Herald gives a lengthy description of this great enterprise, froji which we make tbe following extracts FUTURE HOTEL LIFE OT THE INMATES. It is the intention and expectation of Mr.

Stewart to have the building finished and ready Tor occupancy within a year. The ground has already been broken, all ths material has been bought, all the contracts for building have been made, and the work will be pushed forward to completion with all possible speed. A pleasing prospective picture is this future life of its inmates. All the comforts and elegant luxuries of a first class hotel are enjoyed, and a hotel nob only one of tbe finest but most commodious on the Continent. Except tho double rooms to be occupied by two sisters, as stated above, each will have a room to herself, and, as shown In the description of the building, of good sz3, finely furnished and well ventilated and heated when required.

Thero are servants to wait on every one and to take care of tbe rooms. There is the lauadry for washing, to which all clothes to be washed are sent, with the lists and names, and as quickly returned as at our largest hotels. There is the dining hall, spacious and beautifully ornamented, where dishes are served a la carle, enabling tbe inmates to graduate their meals in respect to cost to their inclinations or means. There is the drawing room, in which to meet for social converse, or to receive the calls of lady friends, or to hear music, for there will alwayB bo a piano here, and doubtless always accomplished and willing players. There is the reading room, which will be furnished with the daily papers and leading periodicals, and tbe library richly stored with a judicious selection of standard works.

There is the lecture room, for further intellectual enjoyment, and there are the bathrooms, those important auxiliaries to health, and the spacious interior hollow square paved with marble and having a fouutain in the center, whose falling waters will be murmuring music of delicious sweetness. There will be an aquaria, revealing In miniature the mysteries of tbe wondroua world of waters, and singing birds diffusing an inspiration of joy by their native wood notes wild," and Howum filling the air witlr their balmy breath. What a contrast, this, to that ssd human life of our working young women in cheap hoarding houses and amid the crowded and crossed communities of our tenement abode9. And yet TTTe3-3 young woman pay no more for all these comforts and enjoyments than they paid before, and probably not half as much. No more worthy charity, none productive of better fruits and carrying with it eush Immortality of gloriouB reward could be devised.

SIMILAR HOTEL FOR YOUNG MEN. Mr. Stewart's generosity is not to stop with the hotel for workingyoung women. Hb proposes to build a similar hotel for young men, npon a like large and liberal scale. Tills further field for giving expression to his benevolent impulses is almost as important and tbe benefits to be conferred upon rreritorious young men employed a3 clerks In our stores, banking houses and the like will be as salutary, as permanent and 8.3 widely appreciated.

Here is the practical philan' thropv of a living, practical, earnest man. Ho sb.zjs hold of the present. He erects bis own monument while living, He can say, as says bis own favorite Latin poet: Lreax momentum perenmus are and what a munumeut it is; how grand in its concepioniiow colossal in its execution how beoelicent in its results This monument will be imperishable. The3 two great charities will through coming ages be the theme of the world's wonder aud admiration. These building', tlutapoksn embodiment of his Iarga and pura and Christian benevolence, will oa Spared and blpat by time, Looking tranquilly while falls or cods Arcti, empire, each thing round them.

Wiiat a triumphant refutation these magoificeatand unparalleled charities to trie widespread neiiet and irequenx'esser tlon that Mr. Stewart only know how to make money and to keep it He is now proving to the world bow little it has known" of biiu, and that his life, though devoted to money-making, in which he has been more successful than a.ny njan living, has had jr him a further and higher and nobler purpose that be is endowed with aspirations reaching beyond himself, that through the long years of his successful mercantile career be has been meditating tome great benevolent scheme, and that his life energies, of which wo are now just beginning to eee the fruit, have beenliravtly devo? ted to grand and beneficent aims. An Explosion. Paris has recently been fearfully ex cited by a violent explosion, which took place about 3 p.m. on March 17th, in a warehouse, situated in the ttorbonne quarter, the most thickly nettleu portion and the seat of the educational establishments of the uanital.

The circumstances strongly resemble tho3e of the explosions of nitro-glyertne on April 16ih, 1805, in Cisn Francisco, niteen persons were killed aui a Clock of buildings thrown down, and on November 251b, 1SG7, at South Bergan, N. whoro nine persons were killed. The accident in Paris caused the loss of of seven per sons, of whom two were children, playing in the streets. Some of the victims were blown to atoms, and their limbs scattered in every uireatlon, Providen tially, the school of the ilorpqnne was not occupied at the time by the students, but had the accident occurred two hours earlier, tho loss of life would have been fearful. The explosion, however, was so tremendous, that the by-standers sup posed that an earthquake had taken place, and all the glass shop fronts, windows and chandeliers in tha neighborhood were blown into minute fragments.

The material which caused the explosion was picrate of potash, stored in the collers of the drug store of a Mr. Fon taine, a manufacturer of explosive com pounds, who bad recently received tbe Cross of tbe Legion of Honor for the discovery of a new torpedo powder, to be used in the reuoa iNavy What be Got. An enterprising Connecticut man, named John W. Crane, has just made a day and night exploration of the New York sewers. With a rubber, a ground map abowiog all tbe sewera in the city, a compass, candles, and a six-shooter to protect himself acainst rats anyinmg else that might impede his progress, he entered a sewer in Houston street, on Tuesday last, near the Nonh River.

He picked his way through all day, and never stopped until We i uesday morning, when, huvmg nts Dag mied, be returned to the light of day. Among the articles obtained were old Watches and silver spoons, kuives, jewelry and bottles of liquor, a consideraoie quantity of old pennies, some of ancient date, ten cent pieces, silver pencil cases, and a diamond ring worth thirty five hundred dollars. Sale or tbe Pcnoncola and Ooorsia (and These two road3 were pul ud at Dublin sale on Saturday last, by direotion of the Trustees of the improvement Fund, and after some cann'derable bidding were declared sold to V. Dibble and associates, of Jacksonville. The Pensa-' cola and Gaorgla was bid off at SI and the Tallahassee at $195 000 the two together tons bringingi.4I5.000.

Tbe sale included tbe roadbed, iron, roll ing sioce, worssnops, aepos. rrancbise, etc. The bondtd debt of I he roads sold (first mortgage) amounts ho $1,420,000, viz: That of. the Pennacola' and Georgia to $1,218 COO; of the Tallahassee to $203 -000 Tnti terms of sale as advertised were oasi an announcement which probably kept capitalists from attending and competing for the property. CERA.

She Is Certain to Become Independent. The New Haven (Conn.) Palladium Eubllshes extracts from a letter written a Cuban lady to a friend in that city. The letter bears date Havana, March We quote Since I wrote you last, the war has been prosecuted with redoubled vigor. You know that my sympathies are entirely with the Revolutionists. My constant prayer is for Cuba's independence, and I believe that that prayer will be granted.

It is quite certain that tbe people of this ever faithful iBle," are determined in tbe atand they have taken, and that they will never suspend hostilities nntil tho freedom of Cuba is won. I can assure you that there never was a braver army than that which ia under the command of Gen. Cespedes a man whose heart Is in the right place, and whose sword will never be sheathed until the war on tho part of the Revolutionists shall have been crowned with success. He is one of the noblest of mon a patriot in every sense of the word. Tne people almost idolize him.

I receive the American papers by every steamer, and am not at all astonished to fad that they aro but poorly informed in regard to affairs on this island. This is owing to tho fact that the Government exercises a most arbitrary censorship over the press of this city, and also the telegraph. If tho telegrams from Cuba, which I see in tbe New York papers, are all that are sent over the cable, I must assure you that they are very inaccurate In their statements, and are bo manipulated as to create an impression that the government is conducting the war on tbe most humane principles, and that the revolution is fast coming to an end. The fact the patriotic people of this Island are subjected to a reign of terror. Tho slightest suspicion against any person high or low, is sufficient to induce tbe bloodthirsty Spaniards to either kill him or place him in some dungeon, there to be 'rested to every indignity, and perhaps fit ally shot, with hardly a moment's warniDg.

I close my letter I must say something to you about a matter in which'I know you must feel the deepest interest. I mien the recognition rf Cuba by tbe Government of tho United States. The Impression here is general among tho patriotic classes that your new President, GenJrant, favors giving us a recognition, at lsast as a belligerent power, or as an independent nation. Of course wo would prefer the latter, but would extend to tbejnrmer a most grateful welcome. I thix that Cuba ia entitled to recognition by the United States, and I believo that it will not bs many days before she will receive it.

There is one thing that tho American people ma rest assured of, and that is, Cuba is going to-gain her independence. The glorious success may be some time distant, but I will venture tbo prediction that before the clcse of the coming summer the Spanish troops will be driven from the islaud, and the independence of Cuba recorded in history. Viva Cuba! Concentration Troopu in Texas, We have information from a highly respectable citizen of Corpus Christi, Texas, of a rumored movement on Mexico. Our informant says that he Is convinced (hat a movement in that direction will'BoCn be made. TroopT are being rapidly concentrated in Texas, and It Isuhougiit they aro being sent there for the purpoae of being in readiness for a movement on the "heroic of Mexico.

Additional barracks and hos pitals are baini; constructed at Brownsville. Fort Ringgold, and Paso and Corpus Christi, it Is thought, will be the base of supplies. Whether the above surmises are correct or not. it is true that troops are rapidly pouring into Texas, and that additional barraegs and hospitals are being con. struoted at the points named.

Alabama and Ar- bansas i THE COMPANY KNOWN TO THE FOB 1 He tha Mississippi Valley Navigation Company of the South und West," Is organized under a charter from the Stute of Louisiana. This charter authorizes a capital stock of five hundred thousand dollars, with tbe privilege of extension to one million. That the pnoilo may snow the exact object or the company, the third article or the charter is given entire, as follows "The object of this Company Is to construct or oiuerwiss to procure ana maintain one or more iteamboais, or other vessels, tu run on and navigate the Mississippi river, or 1U tributaries, lor the purpose of carrying lreiht, malls and passengers; to cunstruct cocks. wnarves, uniiuins ana sncn other construction as may bo necessary to tbe bnlldicg and repairing or vessels, and generally to exercise such Incidental powers and privileges us are hereby or may ba conierred on them for the purposes aforesaid The Company propos. under the provisions or this charter to construct a lino of sieamers to run between thedlderent ports on tne Mississippi river and 1 hey will be constructed npon the low-prtssure principle; they will Cirry less steam they will make Better lime, and be In all respe more safe than any description of boats ever placed upon oar waters.

Safety to passengers and jrelght is a great eDd, worthy oi me euuggie oi un people oi me jiiissisbippi Valley. Nearly three hundred thousand dollars in money and work has already been subscribed to the capital stock or the Company.

The Louisiana Legislature has passed a bill subscribing one hundred thousand dulHrs of stock to the Company. An additional sum of that amount will, without a donbt, be subscribed by the same body. The Company have resolved to take lands for ttock, and tnls Is the feature to wnicn uiey aesire to can me attention or own- asooant of the disorganized condition of labor, lands ore an -Incumbrance. Vast tracts that yield no revenue to the proprietors, oav exor bitant taxes, and thus cripple their only productive resources. This Company propose to Uke these lands at a fair valuation and Issue to the owners their In lieu.

If lands shall enhance In value, so will the nock enhance in value, ana thus tne lanu piopnetor will carry in his pocket the equivalent of his lands, to be converted Into money or property without delay.
