IIOVSBAND S IUI NEE IN Til8 SEN?
ATS.
It is evident enough that members
have become tired ol the impudent rule
ot Massachusetts. Hoar has been re
jected, Boutwoll has been snubbed, and
Sumner's ignorant protensions and But?
ler's blackguardism have been signally
rebuked in the Senate and House by
ill parties. Gentlemen on the Demo?
cratic side were advised some time ago
to spit in his lace, instead of begging
him for the privilege of a- five minutes'
speech, lt was unknown that our mo?
dern Captain Bobadil would stand it-as
he did, literally, at Charleston iu 1860.
True, physically speaking, the thing
itself was not done yesterday in the
House-probably because it might have
been considered "unparliamentary."
But I um Ireo to say that, so far as the
?rules" would allow, the spittle was at?
tempted, with all tho loree at tho com?
mund of Mr. Cox, tobe driven into the
invulnerable cuticle of Butler's face of
brass. Hoar the spunkey little Repre?
sentative from New York. 1 quote from
aa authorised copy ot his speech :
"Mr. Cox said (among other things)
he (Mr. Butler) had no sensibility to
bib position before the country, aud did
not know how people regarded him
His own colleagues intimated that he
was a thief and a robber, and he did not
take it up; but it had been left to him
(.Mr. Cox) to defend him ; and because
he had done MO iu a spirit of good nature,
he (Mr. Butler) had made his covert
negro minstrelsy attack upon him. Why
did ho net attack his colleagues and
make them call for a committee of iuves
tigation on his past derelictions and
past alleged robbery ? Why did he stand
here, the condemned man of this Con?
gress? Why did he reserve all his fire
for his friends, as ho did in the army,
and then, when attacked, retreat like a
bomb proof soldier and hide himself ?"
Rather plain language this-culling
thc "honorable" leader of the Radical
Grant party in the House a '-rogue'
a "thief" und a "robber"-while also
stigmatising him, a whilom "General ol
the Grand Army of thc Jumes" as not
only a coward, bu' a miserable poltroon!
This, however, is but "candle ends and
cheese parings" to what Sumner is daily
getting from members of his own party
in the Sei atc. Mr Trumbull stood up
io Iiis place, yesterday, and tor the third
time denounced the Massachusetts ego?
tist as u deliberate slanderer and liar,
and what is more to the purpose, proved
it by incomestible documentary evi
dence. Look ut Sumner's pusillanira
ous rejoinder!
Thc debate in the Senate yesterday
was important and curious in other re?
spects. I do not allude to the develop
menis as to thc power and its nbu-e of
the '.caucus," about which Mr. Thur?
man made a short speech. Everybody
known that thc country hus becu gov?
erned for tho past hali* dozen years by
a cabul outside of legitimate legislation.
A caucus governed the party, and "the
party" governed Congress, and "Con?
gress" governed the country. This has
ellalong been clear enough ; but-it was
asserted yesterday, by no less a person?
age than Mr. Sherman, Chairman of the
Finance Committee, that "the small
Democratic minority, by concentrating
their strength," "would have rendered
futile any attempt at reconstruction"
vpon the principle of negro suffrage ; or,
indeed, upon atty other. This is most
extraordinary , revelation. Who are
they that refused to "concentrate ?" I
quote his remarks upon this delicate
point as I find thom in his speech at
large, for the purpose of calling the at?
tention of those composing the "small
Democratic minority" at that day in thc
Senate to this damaging development
There must certainly be some mistake.
Yet no Senator seemed to contradict
Mr. Sherman, although several of thc
implicated members still remain iu the
Senate.
Mr. Sherman spoke of the various
bills on reconstruction that had been
introduced, and the contrariety af optn
ion among thc Republican Senators,
and that it became evident that the
?mall Democratic minority, by conccn
Bating their strength with one or the
other clique into which thc Republican
party was then divided, would havo ron
tiered futile any attempt at reconstruc?
tion. Then ho (Mr. S.) moved the
appointment of a committee of seven
to take all these bills into consideration,
to as tu mature some measure whicn
would command thc approbation of all
?that committee the late Senator from
Main (Mr Fresseden) hud made a forci?
ble argument against incorporating this
?offrago clause, but solely because it
was unnecessary. There was no dif?
ference of opinion as to the propriety of |
u Mr. Hcvordy Johnson, tho Demo
eratic Senator from Maryland, had him
'eli brought forw ard, two days before
.ne Cituous, tho proposition to incorpo?
rate colored auftrage.- Wash. Cor. Bal?

TIIIIEB < WEERING SIGNS.
The Washington correspondent of th.,
oaltuooro Gazette sees three signs pro?
mising a better future: First : Senator !
Stewart s bill for the removal of disahil
?les would have been carried but for thc
inopportune objection of a Democratic
pember. Second : Mr. Marshall's rcso
Wiori against protective tariffs was ta

THB BBP?BUOA?! PA BTV IN CON.
GK tri?*--SIGNS OP A BBBAK-UP
WHAT THBNf
There are signs of coming' discorda
fend divisions among the Republicans in
Congress. There is a division of the
party on the tariff question, which, with
a few more votes, will give the Home
to the advocates of a strictly revenue
policy of taxing imports. Trouble is
foreshadowed io the camp betweon tho I
Eist and the West on thc late legal
tender decision of the Supreme Court,
and upon the money question in all its
phases, while quite as suggestive of par?
ty demoralization as any thing else is
tho'confliot for the position ol' the recog?
nized leader of the (louse, a position
which in a party view, is somewhat
antilogous to that of the prime Minister
of England, especially when held by a
man of the sagacious, tonnoious, reso?
lute and decisive character of the late
?.Old Thad Sto^eus."
A grand, simplo, comprehensive and
popular idea, however, is necessary to
tho success of thc party in power. What,
shall it be ? We hear the cry of''Specie
payments !" but there ure so many the?
ories upon this idea that it involves both
parties in confusion. "Retrenchment and
reform !" General Jackson was first elect
ed upon this idea against tho awful
extravagances involved in the cxpendi
tures amounting to thirteen millions a
year, all told. But this is an old hob
by, and General Giant is doing as well
with it as could be expected. Upon this
money question there is no simple aud
comprehensive idea upon which the
Republicans can hold togothcraud hold
the field. We know that taxes must bc
lightened and equalized ; that thc debt
must be settled ; that tho national cur
renoy must be brought to thc specie
standard ; that the jobbers and schem?
ers, and speculators and gambling rings
resulting from the war, whereby thou?
sands have been enriched and hundreds
of thousands have been impoverished,
have had their high carnival of revelry
and spoils, and wc feel that the day for
honest work and ligitimate business is
at hand ; but thc transition must still be
subject us much to circumstances as tu
the leading ideas of grasping politi?
cians.
Tho Republican party then cannot do
mach on the money question, and it
must look to something else for a new
leading idea. General Grunt might give
them the winning war cry on the Alu?
burna olui'.ns, or on thc Oubun question,
or on the Mexican question ; but Gon
eral Grant seems to have settled down to
the inglorious policy of masterly inac?
tivity, the policy of taking thiugs qui?
etly und trusting to luck. He seems to
forget that, though elected for his first
term on his great and gloriuus achieve?
ments as a soldier, he will be judged as
u candidate for a second term upon his
merits and achievements us a statesman.
ile seems to depend upon his party,
while his party depend upon him to
clear thc way for thc succession, aud this
is the road to defeat. Indeed, it ap?
pears to us that the only alternativo to
thc administration and the party behind
to avoid discords, and divisions und,
defeat is thc popular idea of annexation,
in the settlement ul the Alabama claims,
the Cubun or thc Mexican question.
On the idea of thc annexation of Texas
a comparatively obscure politician de?
feated the great statesman of Kentucky,
and personally thc most popular mun of
that day. So now even the popularity
nf General Grant will not save him and
has party if they fail to take a new de?
parture.
I ho American people ure like tho
obi Romans when Rome was extending
her boundaries in view of her manifest
destiny as mistress of tho world-they
believe their government equal to any
extent of territorial expansion. We say
then, that "the almighty nigger," with
whom in slavery the old Southern Dem
ocrutic party flourished, collapsed and
died, aud with whom, in thc minio of
liberty aud equal rights, the Republican
party has fullfilled its mission, is an
ensign which must now give way to some
new idea, in order to hold this Rcpub*
ican party together, or in order to build
around thc administration the ruling
party of the future. This necessity conics
more distinctly in relief in view of the
probability that in thc elections of next
fall for Congress tho opposition in the
Southern States, in a general compact
with the blacks, will regain thc South?
ern balance of power. Under the pres
ent condition and tendencies of things
tho administration is drifting with
Congress to demoralization, failure and
defeat.-JV. Y IlrraM.
"fllAirirtli*?? IliiVKLS,
It must have been a goodly sight to
sec the luminous Sumner seated in thc
gallery of thc Senate chamber talking to
"Old Aunt Dinah" Revels. To do it
was a part of the character he has been
playing so many years, and,- of course,
such an opportunty of playing this
strongest of cards was not to be lost
Paney the rotund, oily Charles, in his
new fashioned brass buttoned coat and
Brecher tit, sitting side by side willi au
elderly old, "Mammy" whose toilette
probably consisted of a yellow and white
linsey woolsey . grown with wooden
buttons in the back, cut skimp in thc
skirt, with her head tied up in a red,
white aiidiblue bandana* 'hundkerehierf,"
a pair of dollar brogans, and copperas
dyed yarn socks on her dainty feet, her
knitting in hand, n id a well worn cob
pipe solacing her. Imagino an old
darkey, fresh fro n "the quarter" nnd
tho control of an army of little negroes,
dressed in their skins, suddenly invested
with nil the honors und rank of a Sena?
tor's wife, and then believe, if you cnn,
that cant could make oven Sumner make
inch an exhibition of himself as he has
by being seen with her. It is about
eqoal to dressing up a gorilla and intro?
ducing her at the court of St. James.
Sumner, though, must play his part. It
ploaaea his people.-Courier Journal 1

TUE BEAUTIES OF TUE CREATION,
? T P. B. L.
The more attentively wo consider the
face ot nature, the moro deeply wo pry
iuto its mysteries, and make ourselves
acquainted with its secrets, the more do
we acknowledge the wisdom of the Cre?
ator, the more do we feel that "the hea?
vens declare the glory of God, and the
firmament showeth his handy work."
Every advance in science, every now
discovery tn the struoture and organ?
ization of the bodies that surroui.d us,
does but increase our admiiation, and
confirm our assurance that '-tho hand
that mado them is divine."
Tho geologist investigates the crust
of the earth. He ovsorves the nature of
its strata,-tho position, superiorly of
such as aro porous utj I permeable deep
cr down, thoso that arc tenacious and
resisting. He recognizes in this arrange
mont the source of "tho rivers that run
among thc hills " Ho obsen that had
this order been reversed, thc rain which
falls from heaven would havo deluged
the surface of tho cart li without pene?
trating its bosom, and would in wild de?
vastating torrents have swept from its
face those fruits and plants that tt now
so beneficently nourishes and evolves.
The chemist analyzes what were for?
merly looked on as elementary substan?
ces. In the air he finds two gases, ono
of which is by itself fatal to animal life,
while au undue proportion of the other
would change the air we breathe into a
corrosive poison ; yet they are mixed in
such proportions as to form thc com?
pound most suited to support that curious
vital phenomenon,respiration. And whe?
ther this compound be examined in the
depths of thc lowest mines or at tho
greatest heights to which men have as?
cended, the proportions of this combi?
nation are found to bo unvaried. Ho
examines the '.-artli, he considers their
uso for the growtlrand support of plutus,
and he asks for himself what should
they consist of for this purpose. Plants
ho finds tn contain oxygen, hydrogen,
carbon and salts. The two former eau bc
derived from thc air that surrounds the
water which moistens them : for the
latter they arc dependant on the soil in
which they aro rooted. However various
the conipositon of this soil, it consists
essentially ol' two parts. One is a certain
quantity of earthly mutters, such ns clay
lune, and magnesia; the other is formed
from thc remains of animal and vege*
table substances, which, wilt ti mixed
with the former, constitute common
mould The rain then percolating
t'irouuh this mould dissolves the soluble
salts with wliieh it conics in contact,
together willi tho gaseous, extractive,
and other matters formed by the decom?
position of animal and vegetable re?
mains. Saturated with these nutritious
matters it is presented to the roots, by
them it is readily absorbed and sent as
sap to the leaves, there, by exposure to
air, to undergo the final process ol'
assimilation.
The botanist here steps in and adds
his nile to that beautifully continuous
train of evidence, which like thc golden
chain of tbe poet, binds together heaven
and earth. Ho observes tho beautiful
adaptation of the plant to the soil in
which it is intended to grow. The
stately red tuangrovo springs in a wet
and boggy soil which could scarcely sup?
port it erect against tho first passing
breeze Hut how wisely is this cared for !
It arises from several roots, each root
rising some feet above the earth before
it unit s with its fellows to form thc
tiunk ; further, slender shoots about
titree inches in circumference, quite
bare, and jointed, grow from thc trunk
and branches in great abundance, then
descend into thc earth, take root, and
thus afford support to the parent stem.
The cocoa, which is a largo tree of the
shores of the torrid zone, grows in pure
sand, which it interlaces with such a
prodigious quantity of fibres, as to form
around it a solid mass It is on this
basis that it withstands thc most furious
tempests in the midst of a moving
soil.
, Tho constant supply of moisture is
necessary to thc life of tho plant; and
when the thirsty soil fails to impart this
through i lie root, how beautiful is the
provision that enables thc leaves to ab?
sorb tho aqueous vapor from tho atmos?
phere, and by thc faculty they possess of
radiating heat, so to reduce their
temperature during the night as to
cause the deposition on themselves of
'.tho gent?o dew from heaven."
Heat is essential for evolving and ma
turing thc delicate organs ou which thc
reproduction ol the plant depends. Thc
organs ure situated in the centre of tho
blossom, which, gathering the rays, re?
flects them in on its tender charge,-an
effect very much increased by ?ts general
incurved form Hut what cohirs are
most favorable to the reflection ol heat?
Science has shown that light colors
.(?fleet, ubi lo dark absorb. Hut although
this fact was so long undiscovered by j
science, how ?kiIf'u 1 ly has il been taken >
udvantage of by Almighty Wisdom ! j
.Consider the lilies of thc field." Is ;
not the dazzling whiteness of tho snow
drop, thc delicate tint of tho hyacinth,
the narcissus, ami tho carly anemone
intended to reflect tho chill rays of a j
wintry sun, and to inereasu to the utm -st i
thc scanty heat it affords? Is not this!
intention assisted by their general low? I
lying position, which exposes them to1
all the heat the earth radiates'/ while
t' 3 deep colors and lofty stems of the j
summer ond autumnal flowers clearly
evince that such contrivance was hero
needless, at.d was lb ere foro omitted.
With equal care are they guarded
against tho effects of a too scorching
beat; und whilo wit h us they aro found
in thc meadows, cnnmeling^io soil, be?
tween the tropios they at o raised aloft
and made the ornaments of tho forent,
wbioh 6y ita foliage shelters them from
the blase of the mid-day sar., while, by
their situation, they are sufficiently re?
moved from the parched and burning
earth.
How beneficent was it of the Almighty
to ordain that corn, so necessary to the
support of man, should grow, not on
bulky vegetables, requiring much space
and length of time for reproduction, but
on small, slender plants, which spring
up almost as soon as the seed is put into
the ground. In the former caso the
destruction of a crop would have been
followed by famine for many years; in
the latter, there is nothing more than
inconvenience for a few months.
But, beyond all measure, the roofet in?
teresting as referring to tho curious and
intricate of the worka of the Almighty,
aro the discoveries of the anatomist and
naturalist Every step he makes in the
acquaintance with nature, every now
tuet that he discovers, opens to him suoh
a boundless exhibition of wisdom, good?
ness, and mercy, t hut,
"Transported with the view, he's lost
In woader, Iq/o, and prnUo."
Me observes the countless tribes of fishes
"that have their way in the deep, and
occupy themselves in tho great waters."
How admirably is their shape adapted
to cleaving their way through tho watery
element ; how powerful the muscles of
the tail, by which chiefly they ure pro?
pelled ; how ingenious the situation and
construction of the air-bladder, by which
they are enabled to rise or sink at plea?
sure ; but, above all, how beautiful is
the mechanism of their respiration !
That which to animals wi1 h lungs would
be painful and laborious, is, by the sub?
stitution of gills, rendered easy, and
free (rom trouble. The fish fills its mouth
with water, and, instead of swallowing,
suffers it to pass through its gills. To
each branch ot* th^ gills is distributed a
vein und artery, by means of which the
blood is exposed to the vivifying princi?
ple contained in the water, or in the uir
which is held dissolved in the wuter;
and thus the same chango is produced
us in us by thc passugo of the blood
through the lungs,-it is arterialized
and rendered fit lor the nutriment cf thc
body.
In birds the great object, ?cents to
have bean lightness, to e*.<ible them' to
soar through tho spac'.ous fields of uir,
the element it was in randed they should
occupy. For this purpose their bones
are hollow, and tilled with air; their
lungs ure continuous, with a number ol'
air sues, which ruu down into the abdo
men, occupying much space with little
weight, while at the panic time thoy
assist in thc lupid aeration ol' the bluod
so necessary to animals of such quickness
nf motion and rapidity of impulse.
Their wings ure widely extended, itt
comparison with thc S?Z? of their bodies,
by which means they are enabled to
condense a considerable body of air,
which, by ?ts elasticity, assists them in
their flight. To cuable them to maintain
their position in thc air, it is necessary
that thc centre of gravity should lie be?
neath the lino of their wiugs, else they
would tumble over in their flight. To
attain this object, one of the large mus?
los for elevating thc wing is actually
placed willi thc depressors of thc wing
on the front of thc breast, und made to
turn, ns it were, over a pulley, to gain
thc back of thc pinion, and euableit to
exert its proper action. Thc mcuns by
which a bird, while sleeping, mainta ns
its hold on the branch, is equally ad?
mirable. Tho tendon running from the
muscle, which is situated high up on
the thigh, to the extremities of the
talons, runs behind thc joint, or elbow,
of the leg- As tho bird sits down this
joint is bent, and the tendon pnssing
over it is, of course, strained ; from which
results, raovhuuioully, tho clo tu e of the
talons round tho object on which they
ure placed, und thus, without any mus?
cular exertion, thc hold is kept while
thc bird sleeps.
And now, as we approach man and
thc higher order of animals, facts crowd
on us in such countless abundance, in
such rich profusion, that we kuow not
how to reject, or which to select. They
arc too important to bo curtailed, too
numerous to be inserted at the end of
an article. But, before we part, let us
glance with our mind's oyo over tho few,
but interesting, facts wo have collected.
Let us observe their exquisite ingenuity,
their beautiful adaptation and suitability
to circumstances. And shall we then
attribute them to a blind chance, on
indiscriminating destiny ? No; wo shall
not so fur insult our reason. Voiceless,
though they bc, they declare, in lan
piuage not to be misunderstood, thc
existence of an ever wiso und ovor
bottuteous Creator, "God ovcrull blessed
forever."
