Mb. Hayes is credited with saying
that “it will tako timo to hnrmonize tho
members of tho Republican party to tho
now polioy in tho South. Although do-
feat may oomo now, the party will regain
more than itB original strength insido of
two years." Ho also expressed his deter

politicians must yiold to the demand of
tho groat publio for poaoo and a restora
tion of good fooling."
bLAYEBY is diminishing every yoar in
Brazil. By the law of 1871, all tho chil
dren of negroes afe born free. In tho
province of Ban Paulo, tho number of
slaves in three years declined from 14 7,-
74C to less thou 136,000. In 111 of tho
161 parishes of the provinoe, 18,170 chil
dren of slaves happier than their parents,
were born froo boings. In tho provinoe
of Pernambnoo, the number of slaves has
been reduoed from 106,201 to 100,000,
and 12,812 were born into frdbdom. The
same ratio of deoreaso is visible in other
provinces throughout tho Empire.
Senatob David Davis has prepared a
bill designed to double the number of the
United Btates Circuit Court Judges, to
whom oases may be appealed from the
Disiriot Courts. This will relievo the Su
preme Court from its already too great
press of business, aud at tho same time it
will not inorease the individual work of
the Circuit Judges. Heretofore there has
been no appeal in a certain olass of eases
from the deoision of the District Court.
This bill will make snob appeals possible.
The bill contains many of tho features of
the bill introduced last year by Mr. Mo-
^^ary, but whioh failed to pass the House.
TUB SENATE.
Only two Bcnators were absent at the
opening of the session yesterday. The
Democrats havo badly soared the Repub
licans and all that oould attend were
present. The absentees are Morton and
MoMillan, both Republicans; so the body
now stands 37 Republicans, 33 Democrats,
1 Independent—Judge Davis—and three
vacancies. The ohanoes for the admis
sion of Eustis and Bpofford, from Louis
iana and Butler from South Carolina aro
good. Patterson, of South Carolina, says
he will vote for Butler, and so will the
friends of the Administration. With
these ndmissions, and Morton absent, the
Senate will stand 36 Repnblioans,
36 Democrats and 1 Independent. Judge
Davis is olaimed by both parties, but he
was put on the standing oommitteen as a
Republican. If MoMillan remains away
the Democrats will have one majority
The friends of the Administration will be
compelled to vote for the Louisiana and
South Carolina Democrats. The Vice
President oannot vote unless there is a tie.
If Pattorson is convioted by a South
Carolina jury, be will bo expelled, and
that will give a Democratic Benato re-
gardloss of whether Morton lives or dies*
If Morton dios he will be succeeded be
Voorhoes.
CONUBENH.
Both Houses assembled at noon yester
day. Only two Senators are absent, and
they are Republicans.
In the House the nominees of the Dem
ocratic canons on Batnrday night wore
oleoted. Randall for Bpeakor by 143 to
132 for Garfield, the Republican nomi
nee. All the* others were embraoed in a
single resolution whioh was passed. The
Republicans endeavored to fillibnster but
tho attempt proved a failure.
Objections wore made to the swearing
in of Rainey, of South Carolina, Darrell,
Elam and ltobortson, of Louisiana, and
Pachoeho, of California. These persons
wore directed to stand aside, and the ob
jections will be considered to-day.
ANOTHER NEMAN roll HAC-
MAKiON.
In the French election on Sunday,
President MaoMahon was completely rout
ed. It proved a second Hedan, and may
oost him power. The Republicans have
won an overwhelming viotory. There
was a direct end open fight between power
in the few on one hand, and universal
suffrage on the other, and the latter suo-
oeoded by an enormous majority. What
thoy lost was made up in gains. The
Government used all its influonoe and au
thority, with the combinations of the
Bourse, and tho presenoe of the military
to sustain tho MacMahon candidates, but
to no avail. The Administration has been
terribly dofoated.
Gnmbotta, in a Paris arrondissement,
was elootod almost unanimously, receiv
ing 16,000 votes to his opponents 1,100.
M. Grevy, late President of the House
of Deputies, was oleoted both from a
PariB aud Rouen arrondissement. Duver-
dior, in prison for spooking for the Re
publicans, was elected. Prinoe Napoleon,
Plon Plon, was defeated in Ajaocio by
Baron Haussman, a llonapartist.
The elections, for a wonder, were
quietly conducted. Tbo Republicans are
now jubilant. The question is, what will
MaoMahon do about it't Will he stick,
or in obedionoo to tho voice of the people
resign.
A MAR VEEOIIN CAREER.
Ono of the biggest brainod men of the
ages was Henry Meiggs, the groat Cali
fornia forger, and Booth Amerioan rail
road king, who diod in Porn last month.
His ontire life was composed of grand
outorprises, heavy gains and losses, gront
crimes, stupendous undertakings, and
mngnifioont wondors. Tho world forgets
his guilt while looking at the manifests*
tions of a superb geniuB, united with a
splendid practicality.
Born in New York and early inured to
hard work, ho had a thirst for adventure,
and his ambition reoobed after great
wealth. Boon ho beoame known as a suc
cessful lumber dealer in Boston and
one possessed of a’high oapaoity for ex
tensive enterprises. Seeking the wider
field of New York, ho was recognized as
the largest lumber dealor in Amerioa. He
expended largo sums in works of art,
lived luxuriously and was ready to em
bark in any speculation which presented
n probability oven of large returns, or" as
sist a struggling frioud. The panio of
1837 soveroly orippled the young capital
ist of twonty-six, but he was rapidly re
covering his presiigo and means when
tho discovery of gold in California gave
now directions to his energies
and dreams of fabulous wealth.
Starting from Now York, he landod
at Bnn Frenoisoo in Jnly, 1849, with a
cargo of lumber, on whioh he realized at
onoo a oash profit of $50,000. Then en
gaging in the coasting lumber business,
ho coinod money and spent it freely as if
it were water; and, prior to the panio of
1854, was considered tho riohest man in
California, where millionaires were of
mushroom growth. His sails dotted the
whole ooast, and bis name was a synonym
for honesty. Ho built an immense wood
en pier, tho nearest to the “Golden Gate,"
a work which was a marvel in its day,
and still perpetuates his name. He be
came one of the supervisors of Ban Frana
cisco, and obtained a oontraot
for planking the streets of the
oity. With the aid of another,
he did not hesitate to over-issue
stook whioh his oifioial position enabled
him to do to oarry on his vast under
takings and support bis enormous ex
penditures. The panio of 1854 swept
like a wave over California, and what
were supposed the strongest houses
toppledjaud went to destruction. Meiggs,
in the endeavor to save friends, was
oanght like others, and as he had forged
a half million of city warrants and as
mnoh more of oommeroial paper, he pre
pared for Sight.
This was dramatio. He kept his secret.
The furniture of bis splendid mansion
was embarked on one of his own vessels.
Daring the day he was bright and oheery,
but at night with his family went op
board ship and Bailed southwards with
abuudanoe of oash, and uncertain as to
his destination. Tho subsequent discov
eries of his eriineB were the sensation
and consternation of California for a
long period.
Meiggs thon appears in Chili as a bridge
builder and railroad contractor, end for
twenty years he has beeD tbo railroad
king of South Amerioa. He has built
more than 1,500 miles of railway in Chili
and Peru and devised a system by which
they were to be paid for. He mode one and
a half, three and four million dollars each in
single enterprises, rcclaimod vast traots
of country, became possessed of uncount
ed riohes, bribed Presidents and bought
Congresses. Chili paid him twelve mil
lions for his work on tho Valparaiso and
Santiago Railroad, connecting the capital
with the seaport, and Meiggs cleared a
million and a half dollars. He built a
road one hundred end. thirty miles
in length with a grade of four and
o half feet. In Pern he has
accomplished the grandest under
takings of this wonderful modern age.
When he completed the marvelous road
from Mollendo to Aroguipa, oonnooting
the Andean city with the ooast, he gave,
at the terminns in the cloud-peaks, a ban
quet whioh, with the presents, coBt a half
million. It was like a vision of fairyland,
surpassing all tho extravaganzas of the
Arabian Nights. Tho most remarkable
feat of engineering of any age is on the
Dallas, Lima and Oraya Railroad, whioh
is designed to tap the upper waters of tho
Amazon, and penetrate fabulously rich
silver mines. It hBs already passed the
summit of tho Andes, at an altitude of
15,645 feet above the soa level,
though only 97 miles from Lima. The
proposed eastern terminns of the road is
129 miles from Lima, and 250 miles from
the navigable waters of the Amazon. The
railway is a wonder of engineering. It
requires numerous bridges, some of whioh
are fairy-like structures, thrown across
fathomless chasms. It has sixty-one tun*
nels, aggregating 20,000 feet in length.
The oontraot oost of the work is $200,000
a mile. A full description, with illustra
tions, of this gigantio work was published
in a late number of Scribner's Magazine.
His is an amazing example of whai
brains can do when booked by vim and
audacity. The want of principle is shown
throughout. From his immense posses
sions, he has never returned tho money
he had deliberately stolen in California.
He lived like an emperor of the proudest
realms. He ereoted~a~palace in Peru with
seventy rooms, and never had less than
thirty to forty guestB, and besides had
numerous villas. He was lavish in ex*
penditure and he haB repaid some Cali*
fornians who visitod him. Borne ao
oounts represent his estate as bankrupt,
others, one of extreme wealth. Tho
grand railroads he has built are monu
ments to hiB memory. The world has
none like them.
INNURANUE AND SUICIDKN.
Life insurance companies havo cow
the authority of the Supreme Court of
the United Btates for their claim that the
suicide of the insured vitiatos the polioy
on his life, whether he is or is not insane,
at the time of the commission of the deed
provided, of coarse, tho pbrase “sane or
insane” follows tho suioide proviso. The
deoision is unmistakable : “If tbo assured
bo oonsoions of tho physical nature of the
sot he is committing, and intondod by it
to cause his death, the polioy is voided,
although at the time ho was incapable of
judgingbetwoen right and wrong, nnd did
not understand the moral consequences
of what ho was doing. Tho Tribune sug
gests that “there is but ono sensible in
ference to be drawn by the public from
such deoisious, and that is not to take a
polioy in whioh tho words ‘sano or insane’
aro inserted." A little independence of
tho kind suggested would do rnuoli to
improve the terms of insurance polioies.
They are contracts, tho torms of which
ore prepared in wholesale hy tho oue
party, and if tlioy are not in all respoots
satisfactory to tho individual party of the
seoond part, tho contract should not be
signed. It is truo, porhnps, that no other
terms oan be at present prooured, but a
demand for insurauoo oompanies willing
to rnako reasonable oonoesBions to those
desiring to insure would soon prodnao a
supply. Insanity being a disease, there
is no reason why the family of the assured
should bo deprived of the insurance on
bis life simply because the diseaBo, in
stead of taking his life in his bod, led
him to kill himself elsewhere.
