flis Excellency, the President of the United
States, have n: tiered that the white militia
companies of the State should not parade on
the 22d inst., to celebrate Washington's birthday,
in deference to the pflice be holds I hereby
call tipou these organizations to postpone
to some future day tins manifestation of their
respect to that illustrious President, whose
highest ambition il was, us it was his chief
glory, to observe the Constitution and to obey
the laws of bis country. If the arbitrary commands
of a Chief Executive, who has not i
ought to emulate the virtues of Washington, j
deprives the citizens of this State ?>ftlio privilege
of joining puHicly In paying reverence to
that day so sacred to every American patriot,
ivc can at least show by our obedience, u> constituted
authority, however arbitrarily exercised,
that \ve atvi not unwotlhy to be the]
countrymen of Washington. We must therelore
iemit to some more auspicious period,
which I trust is not far distaud, the exeicise
of our light tOfflmnncmoratc the civic virtues
of that imbrued character who wielded
his suonl only to found and perpetuate that
American constitutional liberty which is iww
denied to tlie citizens of South Oirolina.

scsssion. Tho Senate also took up the
Naval appropriation bill, but without,
discussing it took a recess. Tho Senate
Committee ou appropriate .a recommends
an increase oi about
&4,000,000 over tho IIouso Naval
bill.
In the Houseth 'pinto! extravagance
got cntir control tor a short time, and
several Democrats, including Banning
and Sayler, defeated Mr. llohunn
and secured tho House to increased ;
impropriations for public buildings. I
Mr. llol man, is in earnest however, i
and is an exceedingly good fighter,
and he will keep the appropriation
down if it can be dons. The House
showed no confidence in Mr, Morriil,
Secretary of the Treasury, by piecing (
the disbursement of the $800,000 appropriated
lor printing notes, bonds,
stamps, in his hands, with discretion
to have the work done in or out of the
Treasury, ami by r.uch parties ami. on
such terms as ho thought host. It is,
1 believe, the first time this has been
done, and as the compliment is from a
Democratic House to A Republican
official, it is remarkable.
There was also a favorablo report
<m the hill to aid iu carrying outOapt.
Uowgatcs p'an to plant a colony as
near i;s possible to the North l'ole,
with a view to discoveries. The sum
asked tor is but $50,000.
The Mexican soldiers, now here in
great numbers, arc vigorously pushing
tlio bill providing a pesiou ot $ J per
month for them. There is little encouragement
for this or other measures,
however meritorious, during this
session. There are but seven working
days left, and it is now evident that
most of them will be occupied by the
Electoral Commission. An extra
session is believed to be inevitable.
The rumors flourishing and lading
one by one an to the Cabinet Mr.
Haves will make if inaugurated, have
so far assigned a place in it to most of
the prominent republicans except {Senator
Oonkling. With <>r without authority
it fieerctt to ho the general
belief that that statesman cannot have
and would not accept any place under
the man made President by the suppression
ot evidence ot his defeat.

[from Our Own Correspondent.J
Nuv Ym:k Feb. it. 18V7.
If any ot your readers have been
ahlo to spare enough attention lr<nn
our own political "doinV to notice
the affairs ol the outside world, they
may be aware of the foot that in Mexico,
alter the. Fall election for president,
Gcti. TViux, the head of the
military branch of the government,
not being elected as 1?h desired,
organized himself into a Reluming
Hoard, throw out the whole vote of
me country a.nJ counted liimseU in.
The roguUriy elected candidate Lerdo,
protested vigorously against this high
handed action, but Diaz, controlling
the army, hid what is familiarly
known as a "dead-op^n-and-phiil" on
the question. So when the President
de jure resisted, tlie hard-hearted Diaz
quietly but meaningly said whatever
in Spanish fur "Shootiy 1" and Lerdo
im tiled ia ted y "shooed," coming to
New York, which is getting to he
a fashionable resort for lorcigu tubus
and noble personages, whether
throned or dethroned. During a two
weeks stay, the unfortunato exile and
ins suite have been rather languidly
lionized, for great men arc generally
getting to be an old story with New
Yorkers. On Thursday the distinguished
party,' among whom was
General Escobedo, thr grim old soldier
why arrested the Emperor Maximilian
and after wards commanded at j
the execution ot the unfortunate i
Austrian, were conducted to Frank
Leslie's establishment, in the photographic
department ot which they all
sat lor their portraits, which will appear
in lite illustrated Newspaper.
Lerdo is said to bear the most striking
resemblance to Governor Tildsn.
In order that the hospitality of the
metropolis may not be left with no
suitable object on which to exoc id
itself, the Grand Duke Alexis r.-, 1 i
arrive here shout the time of the Mexican
President's departure, and ns
Alexis is younger, more attractive ami
more important, it is likely that his
sojourn will create something more of
a tliHtT than that ol his elderly predecessor.
The death of Col. John O'Mnhony
and his Itinera) obsequies just conciud
ed, bring vividly to mind tho stirring
events ol the Fenian movement, ami ,
lurnish evidence also that the feelings ]
and principles which actuated that i
earnest but hopeless effort of Irishmen I
toattsin national independence are still
warmly though silently cherished in
their hearts. It. will be remembered
that Col. O'Mnhony was the Head
Centre of the Fenians in this country,
and became extremely popular
through his fiery appeals and energetic
action. The funeral services were

held in the immense church of St.
Francis Xavier, which whs crowded
with his mourning compatiiols. The
ceremonies, during which may ol the
audience were in tear*, were the most
elaborate that the Catholic ritual
affords. At their conclusion the
hearse, followed by a retinue o( some
live or six thousand, preceded to the
wharf, whore the remains were embarked
for interment in Ireland, accompanied
by a committee of five.
The Uineral was 0110 of tlie most imposing
that has occurred in years.
St. Valentine's day ran into Ash
Wednesday this year, and these
strange companions were forced to
I occupy the same twenty four hours.
Young Cupid did not seem, however,
to be in the least put out, but totally
ignoring his sombre companion, curled
his hair, plumed his wing-., arrayed
himself in a high Piccadilly collar,
spotless kids, and a new silk, hat, and
taking his how und arrows sailed fortn
to go through a New Year's calling
list, which might well alarm the most.
inveterate society man. To tell the
ruth, * however, I guess Unolo Sam's
letter carriers diil most of Ins work
for him, the reports showing that some
35,000 valentines passed through their
hands on that day. Some ol these
hit s of tender nonsense coat from $25
to t50 apiece, hut it is perhaps needless
to remark that those were not the
popular styles iu this year ot old
clothes and unpaid hoard hills.
Deprecating the present unthinking
hue and cry against life insurance
which the late discoveries of (rami
and mismanagement in certain instilu.
lions has incited, the New Yvrfc 7Wbi(tic
said tl?o other morning: "There
is danger that this feeling may he
carried to excess, and applied where it
is not deserved." it then proceeds to
instance the work of some twenty live
leading companies during tho last
thtee years, aud shows Hut during
that time these companies paid titty
millions in de&l.h claims. It is calculated,"
continues tho Tribune, ''that
about oix hundred families ate thus relieved
from dUltr-es, if not poverty,
every month, and that thirty thousand
children per year thus obtain an opportunily
for a good education and a
start in the world." One company
alone, thn old iEum o1 Hartford, lias
already paid to its policy holders in
dralh Jinil mirnlnii
twenty-eight millions ot' dollars, and
to-day in hh solid as llio Hank of En
gland, wilh over twenty-five millions
of dean asset*. Wild and incendiary

in Hiit'h companies, and in a
