very wantonness and vindictive cruelty.
Jefferson Davis was manacled with heavy
■ ronE a < well as i mu red within loathsome
prison walls. And the degredation inflic
ted upon the ten millions ot people, whose
cau c e lie represented-a cause for which
he vindicated for four fearful years with
a zeal, a courage, a heroism, that com
manded even the admiration of all that
was manly in the hearts of his enemies.
Whether he was right or wrong in the
‘■’•reat secession movement is a question
we do not propose to discuss. Let it
sleep in the graves of its martyrs. ■ It is
enough to say that the entire South, edu
cated in the school of State Sovereignty,
most religiously believed in the right of
secession from the federation; and they
held the doctrine that the citizen’s first
allegiance was due to the State as tnc
child’s first obedience is due to its mother
—not to the Federal Government. Be
fore the war Mr Mr. Davis was a man
whom the people delighted to honor.
* * * lie was universally
regarded as one of the ablest statesmen in
America. And yet this man defeated in
a cause which he thought as just as the
old revolution—a revolution in which
success changed the name of Washington
from “rebel’' to hero, almost to detni-god
—despoiled of wealth, of health, of hon
ors; banished from the sweet consolation
of domestic sympathy, from intercourse
with friends; debarred the pnvileges of
reading except, by a species of pious
mockery, the Bible, with ever fixed bayo
nets, anu ever fixed eyes of setinels in his
cell, not even allowed the blessed relief
of darkness by which God soothes the
vilest of his creatures to sleep ; under all
the privations,hardships and humiliations,
the Ministers of the Model Republic in
flict upon the emaciated limbs of this
world weary old man the tor*ures of irons
—of irons that gnaw the flesh from his
ankles! But we turn from the heart-
sickening picture. Let the veil of Iphi-
genia fall upon the victim.
Wo will close this article with a “little
anecdote.” In calling on a certain finan
cial speculator the other day, who, though
horn in Ireland, Irish-like, claims to be an
American—he accused us of having call
ed Oefferson Davis, in a recent number of
this journal, the Illustrious prisoner pf
Fortress MoTHoe !- We ventured mildly
to repeat the words: “Mr. Davis is an
illustrious prisoner.” Whereupon the
Irish-American patriot burst out in these
words: “Jeff. Davis is a dimmed black
hearted scoundrel who ought to be hung,”
Of course we bowed ourselves out of tHe
presence of such intolerance incarnate.
Truly, in men’s judgments, there is
nothing meritorious but success.—
Three wgeks ago Count Bismarck was the
blackest-hearted scoundrel in Europe.—
To-day he heads the list of statesmen! ,

Erom the Ne.w York Times, 80th ult.
The Paterson Case in the Senate.
Oho of the earliest errors of the season
was the adoption of a joint resolution by
which the constitutional provision making
each House tire sole judge of the qualifi
cations of its inemhess, was set .aside, and
the joint-consent of the iwo Houses was
made <essential to admission into -either.
It was a part of the Radical programme,
and oue.that was relied upon by M«r. Thad-
deue Stevens and his friends to -secure
more effectually the exclusion of Southern
Senators’ and Representatives. Binding
force or efficacy it hever had, seeing rtjhot
it conflicted with an authority superior .to
that of its authors* hot its intent was
clear, and so^osrgusitireinaioed it render
ed more difficult action in favor of the
South at<either end of the Capitol.
In pursuance of the arrangement, the
case of Senator Patterson came os Friday
before the House. The Senate, .after the
extraordinary .duplication o£. tests in-
ventedjpy Mr. Sumner, had by a vote of
35 to 2 decided in favor of Mr. Paterson’s
admission. But the joint resolution call
ed for the concurrent action of the House,
and thither, therefore the case was sent.
And the House was not allowed to sit in
judgment upon the fitness of one, with
*hose qualifications it had nothing what
ever to do. The Sedate had consented
to a modification of the test oath, to meet
the peculiarities of Mr. Paterson’s position
as a judicial officer of Tennessee during
its subjection to rebel power; and upon
this proposed relaxation of the test the
Radicals grounded their opposition. Mr.
Shelabarger “would not till his dyiugday”
consent to a mitigation of the test. Mr.
Stokes, who in 1861, counseled armed re
sistance to Mti Lincoln’s measures for the
restoration of the Union, now talked of
maintaining the test oath “as a flashing
sword”- to guard the loyalty of the nation.
Mr. Conkliag was aot less iotoleraat.—
And the whole land of Radicals arraved
rights to be the sole judge of the qulifica-
tions of its members. And a decisive
majority affirmed Mr. Patterson entitled
to his seat.
Gratifying as this decision is, as an act
of justice to one whose loyalty to the
Union was conspicuous in the darkest
days of the war, its iropoitancearises from
other aspects of the case. By admitting
Mr. Patterson, notwithstanding the House
declaration of his ineligibility, the Senate
has repudiated the unconstitutional com
pact created by the Radicals to embarrass
the question of Southern representation.
The House may continue to dispose
of the claims of all of those who have
been elected representatives as to its pas
sions and prejudices shall seem best.—
But the Senate, in effect, decided that
the House shall have no further voice
touching the qualification of Senators,
over whom the Senate has re-asserted its
exclusive jurisdiction. To this extent
the proceedings are undoubtedly signif
icant.
But its significance extends much furth
er. It effects the operation of the test
oath quite as much as the Radical plan
of coucurrent jurisdiction. The Senate
resolution, as adopted all but unaimously
on Friday, provided for the omission of a
material part of the test oath, and by that
circumstance established a precedent of
the highest importance. So far as the
Senate is concerned, it overthrows the
doctrine of literal inviolability which lias
hitherto given the oath its ‘iron-clad’rep
utation. It shows that the oath may be
abridged or modified to cover the peculi
arities of any particular case; the oath
itself being uo longer regarded as su
preme when the exigencies arise to call
for its modification, except in relation to
the spirit of the purpose which its enact
ment was designed to accomplish. If on
ly the loyalty of Senators-elect be estab
lished satisfactorily, the mere words of
the test oath ought not to be a bar to
their admission; and so the Senate has
substantially declared. Thus considered,
the case may seem to establish the suffici
ency of check exercised by the Senate
under the Constitution before the test
oath was invented, but upon this head
discussion would be superfluous. We
are content to take the good as it comes,
and simply note its lessons.

On the morning of the race, Hayes
came upon the ground on horseback—on
his bull. Instead of a saddle he had a
dried ox-hide; the head part of which,
with the horns still on, he had placed on
the bull’s rump. He carried a short tin
horn in his band. He rode to the judges
stand and offered to enter his bull tor the
race : hut the owners of the horses objec-
tod.
Hays appealed to the terms of the no
tice insisting that the bull had “ four legs
and hair on,” and that he had a right to
enter him. After a good deal of swearing
the judges declared themselves compelled
to decide that the bull had the right t^
run, and entered accordingly. When the
time for the starting arrived, the bull and
horses took their places. The horse-
racers were out of humor at being bother
ed with a bull, and at the burlesque which
they supposed was intended, but thought
it would be over as soon as the horses
started.
W hen the signal was given they did
start. Hayes gave a blast of his horn and
sank his spurs into the sides of the bull,
which bounded off with a terrible bawl,
at no trifling speed, the dried ox-hide ma
king a combination of sounds that bad
never been heard on a race course before.
The horses all flew the track, every one
seeming to be seized with a sudden deter
mination to take the shortest cut to get out
of the Redstone country, and not one. of
them could be brought hack iu time to.
save their distance. The purse was given
to llayes.
A general row ensued, but the fun’ of
the thing put the crowd on the side of
the bull. The horsemen contended that
they were swindled out of their purse,
and had it not been for Hayes’ horn and
ox-hide, which he ought not to have been
allowed to bring on the ground, the thiDg
would not have turned out as it did. Up
on this Hayes told them his bull could
beat their horses anyhow, and if they
would put up a hundred dollars against
the purse he had won, he would take off
the ox-hide and leave the tin horn, and
run.a fair race with them.
His offer Was accepted, and the money
staked. They again took their places at
the starting post, and the signal was given
again. Hayes gave the bull another touch i
with his spurs, and the bull gave a tre
mendous bellow.
The horses remembering the dreadful
sound, thought all the rest was coming as
before. Away they went again in spite
of the exertions of their riders, while
Hayes galloped his bull around the track;
arid won the money.

14.000 to 20,000 ounces per annum, at

and, covered with sleet, arrived before
Barrington’s residence in Harcourt street,
Dublin. Throwing the bridle off his
smoking horse over the railing of the area,
he announced liis arrival by a thundering
knock at the door. Barrington’s valet
answered the summons, and, opening the
street door, beheld, the apparition of the
rough-coatcd Tipperary fire-eater, with a
large stick under his arm, aud the sleet
sticking to his bushy whiskers.
“ Is your master up?” demanded the
visitor, in a voice that gave some intima
tion of the object of his journey.
“No,” answered the man.

It may be interesting to compare this
statement with that of 1860, that being
the last year in which the value of prop
erty was not affected by war and depreci
ated Confederate currency. Allowance
ought also to be made for the fact that
the assessments of that year were upon
the basis of specie, while the assesments
of this year are made on the basis of
greenbacks. We are unable to estimate
how much difference there should be on
this account, and leave it to be made ac
cording to the judgment of those who
feel interested in the matter:

Bathing Seeies at the Watering Pla
ces—How the Fair Creatures Look.'
A writer in tl e New York Tribune,
who has taken a jaunt to Ceney Island,
thus describes the pleasures and draw
backs of bathing at that watering place:
“ By midday the bath houses, where
they hire bathing-suits, are crowded with
applicants, many of whom are ladies.—
You leave your valuables with the keeper,
snatch up a pair of blue jeans unmen
tionables, retire to an elegant apartment,
fitted up luxuriously with a rough pine
bench and a backet of salt water, and,
in a few moments, if you are spry, you
are transformed from a tolerable looking,
well-drpssed young man into a scrambling,
bare-footed, goose-necked, non descript,
in comparison to which a Sandwich Is
land ragtnuffin is a Broadway swell. But
your natural timidity is lost when you
witness the ladies emerging from their
bathins-closets in their bathing costumes.
The transformation, if surprising in your
case, is astonishing in theirs.
“ Fancy a gaudy-plumed paraquefc de
nuded of its feathers, and then rolled in
mud, and you can have some idea of the |
appearance of the ladies. Tney enter
the bath-house in all the gloiy of floun
ces, crinolines, parasols and waterfalls;
they come out of it like so many beggar
maids, with their coarse clothes clinging
to their limbs, and their little heads made
hideous in a sioachy, broad-brimmed hat,
which would occasion a turn-up in the
nose of a Pantagian peasant. They run
fas* and awkwardly to the beach in order
to conceal their ungainliness in the waves,
and vou follow them for the briny bath,
in whose glorious luxury almost every
thing else is lost.
“ The foaming breakers come up m |
irregular bursts, and their power can be ,
to Barrington ; “ f have made a journey
to teach you manners, and it’s not my
purpose to return until I have broken
every bone in your body,” and at the
same time he cut a figure eight with his
shelelah before the cheval glass.
“You do not mean to say vou would
murder me in bed,” exclaimed Daines,
who had as much honor as cool courage.
“No,” replied the other, “but get up
! as soon as }ou can.”
“ Yes,” replied Daines, “ that you might
| fell me the moment I put myself out of
the blankets.”
“ No,” replied the other, “ I pledge
you my word that I will not touch you
till you are out of bed.”
“ You won’t?”
“No.”
“ Upon your honor ?”
“ Upon my honor.”
“ That is enough,” said Daines, turning
over and making himself comfortable,
and seemed as though he meant to fall
asleep, “ I have the honor of an Irish
gentleman, and may rest as safe as thoug.1
I were under the castle guard.”
The Tipperary salamander looked mar
velously astonished at the pretended
sleeper, but soon Daines begpn to snore.
“ Halloa,” said Mr. Foley, “aren’t you
going to get up?”
“ No,” said Daine9, “ I have the word
of an Irish gentleman that he will not
strike me in bed, and I am sure I am not
going to get up to have my bones broken
I will never get np again. In the mean
time, Mr. Foley, if you should want your
breakfast, ring the hell; the best in the
house is at your service. The morning
paper will be here presently, but be sure
and air it before reading, for .there is
nothing from which a man so quickly
catches cold as reading a damp journal,’
and Daines affected to go to sleep.
The Tip had fun in him as well as fe
rocity; he could not resist the cunning
of the counsel.
“ Get up, Mr. Barrington, for in bed
or out of bed, I have not the pluck to
hurt so droll a heart ”
The result was, that less than an hour
afterwards Daines and his intended mur
derer were sitting down to a warm break
fast, the latter only intent upon assault
ing a dish of smoking chops.

May, 1865, under the act ot June 30,
1864, and the first tax was not due before
the 30th of June, 1865, when the lists
were placed in the hands of collectors.
