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! , ■■ r * "■ 1 * 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. Irish Drollery. An amusing story of Daines Barring ton, recorder of Bristol, is related by one of the English press.

All other property • • • 296,629 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. let into the defendant in no measured terms. The individual inveighed against not being present, only heard of the in vectives.

It yielded from 14.000 to 20,000 ounces per annum, at time in paying his com counsel. He rode all day and all night, 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. “Then give him my compliments, and say Mr. Foley—he’ll know the name— will be glad to sec him.” have been employed.

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. in South Carolina, where some valuable specimens were obtained by the late Dr. Andrews, of Charlotte, N.
