SATURDAY MORNING, DECEMBER 29, 18G6. King Fcppcl. King Peppel is dead. The Africa, at Halifax, brought tho news. It was not thought of sufficient importance to send tho announcement by cable, but was brought to Halifax by tho steamer and thence telegraphed to New York. "King Poppol, of Bonny, is dead." Wo havo not soon any flags at half mast to-day, and yet wo venture to suggest to some of the ardent gentlomon who claim to be th ? special friends of tho colored race that this decease of tho most important man of that race, perhaps in all the world, might well receive some notice at their hands. But it is highly probable that a great many of the most ardent advocates of negro equality are so profoundly ignorant of what they ought to know before discussing such a subject, that they will be actually inquiring "who is King Peppel?" Klug Peppel is not. Ho was. But ho has tullen. Tho electric wires do hot tell us wnofcher he was murdered by his nobles, who have threatened it for ten years"past, or whether be died of obesity or drunkenness, or any other of the ordinary vices and diseases of African Icings. But it is highly probable that there has been wa-lintr in the Bight of Benin, not over tho dead king, whom ovary one detested, but over the ether dead who have per? ished in the funeral fights, honors and massacres. Some readers will i onicmber when Peppel was in England. He resided there and recoived atten? tion. Civilization tried to win him, but made a miserable failure of it. as civilization has often failed in similar attempts. He went back to Africa and established his tlirono on thc mud banks of tho River Bonnv, ono of tho mouths ot tho Niger. His palace consisted of three huts, on the oozing black mud of tho sh jrc, redolent of filth. The latest account we havo of him from a visitor describes him as e pccially addicted to dog .stews, tho animals being bred expressly for his eating, ifterhis long residence in England he carried back with him, in bis yach -, an English farmer, a lady's maid, and some othsr enthusiastic English people, who wont out to servo Pcnpcl in the cause of civilization. But he had scarcely reached home when he dropped his English prejudices, and re? turned, like a hog. to the miro. Wo don't know what became of tho deluded pcoplo that went out with him. One traveller said that "the lady's maid made a plant upon Peppel, which provoked tbo jealousy of tho Queen." But whetbor Ikey devour? ed her, or what waker fate, is not, so far as wo know, written. Tho farmer gave up all idea of farming for tho King, and the others, who had been promised life pensions and homes in tho royal palace, were put on rations of two yams ncr day, per head, and that disgusted them with Afri? can civiliT^,;T. But tho Icing waxed strong, fat and rich in the ; African way. He became tho wealthiest king on the coast. His income has been estimated at S75.0Q0 por annum. Ho once lost his throne, t'aving blown out tho brains of one of his wives, and raised a family quarrel thereby. He regained the nominal sovereignty, but for some lime past it has only been nominal, th? Government being in the hands of four "nobles" as regonta. Tho tracfors on the coast live in old hulks, off shore, and never trust themselves on the land at night. Dealing with them in all tho "products" of tho coast has made King Peppol, ot Bonny, a man of mark in the world, so that his doath is announced by tele? graph, and that is the end of him. There is this importance in the history of the i t man, that ho was an African, having some intelli- | i genoe, long resident in England, wealthy, with every inducement aud every opportunity to receive for himself and carry tu his own countrymen the blessings of civilization, who deliberately rejected the opportunity, and lived and died in a mud hovel, finding hi3 highest pleasures in the wild life and habits of his original barbarism. It ?B one of the most melancholy facts in tho history of Africa.-Ar. T. Journal of Commerce. Failore of Representative Governments. The London Times alleges that tho most curso? ry examination of the electoral returns will prove the truth of the statement that the representative achinery of the United States does not tum out jpresontative bodies. It is only in the Middle tates, Pennsylvania and New York, that represen .itivea are chosen corresponding in any degree to the diversity of opinion of their inhabitants. The Times proceeds to argue that the first evil con? sequence of such a faulty representative organi? sation is the destruction of individual character and independent opinion, and concludes as fol? lows : There is another consequence of what we are warranted in calling the failure of the representa? tive machinery of the Union, which is just now of immediate practical importance. As the whole party on one side or the other moves together, and there areno mon of independent position to exercise a disturbing judgment of their own, the complete power of legislation is thrown into the hands of a secret committee or "caucus" of the dominant party. Directly the elections are over and the balance of strength is known, the action of the "caucus'* begins. This so'ect council, un? known to the Constitution, determines what shall, and what shall not be done; brings in its proposals, and, if there appears a likelihood that they will be seriously discussod-which rarely happens-it can, and does, suppress the discussion by means of "the previous question." In Congress, this means the question whether a vote shall be taken without further deliberation, and by it the majority simply puts an end to the pretence of deliberation. This is the danger of the present hour. Congress meets this week, and tho question of mitigation or intensifying the terms of the Constitutional Amendment, will pro? bably be mooted. Till an irresponsible and secret council comes to a eonclusion on the subj oct, no one in Congress can guess, much less know, what will be done, lirtheory, the Legislative Govern? ment of the Union is conducted by a representative assembly, sitting in open cou?cu in the presence of the people; in practice, it is managed byan un? seen power, issuing edicts which must be received with unquestionable obedience. The possibility of restoring the Union in its integrity is thus inde? finitely endangered, and the uneasiness of the pub? lic feeling proportionally prolonged; and this is only one and a passing instance out of the many evils which the Federation permanently suffers from having adopted a representative machinery which fails, and necessarily fails, to secure ropre sentative government. American Fistnos in Europe. The following letter will be read with satisfaction by all who take pride in the just appreciation abroad of American skill and ingenuity in her manufactures : UNITED STATES CONSULATE, ) BERLIN, PRUSSIA, November 7, I860, j Messrs. Cliickering & Sons, GENTLEMEN : I profit of the opportunity afford? ed by the return to Boston of my friend, Hugo Leonhard, Esq., the eminent pianist of your city, to do what ought to have been done ere this, to acquaint you of the safe arrival of the magnificent "Chickering'' Grand Piano, which Mr. Leonhard had been good enough to select for me. Thanks to your care and foresight, it came in perfeci. order, notwithstanding the frequent hand' ling to which it had necessarily been subjected on itslonjrjpassage from Boston to Berlin. The in? strument, in regard to its elegant and tasteful ex? terior, as well as its beautiful tone and perfect ac? tion, is everything^ that I could have desired. All those who nave seen, heard, examined and played upon it-among them the very best judges in Berlin, piano-players as well as piano-makers cannot sufficiently admire it, and pronounce it superior tb any Grand Pianos made here or else? where in Germany, not excepting the .' idely and justly celebrated "Bechstein^ instruments of this city. The quality of the tone of your splendid in? strument is found to be so refined and pure, it "sings" so beautifully, as the Germans express it, the quality of its tone is so full, round" and ample; the graduation of strength from the lower to the upper registers so complete and even, az.d its ac? tion and mechanism so perfect, that all concur in the opinion that its equal in excellence and perfec s tion has not before been seen in Berlin. So numerous have been the encomiums passed upon it, in many instances, from local pride, given only because their sense of justice and love of truth compelled the eminent gentlemen to give jj them-and for that reason all tho more valuable- - ' that, I assure you, gentlemen, I esteem it a privi? lege, and feel proud to be in possession of this iplendid specimen of American art, ingenuity and With my compliments and best wishes for your continued well deserved success, I am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, H.
