manded of the aristocracy'' that this G aris- tocracy" surrender to them their own mon. ev; and now will Sthe aristocracy" be deaf once more! Mir. Riyes looks as if he wished he had not said it. True, the House is now become " the conservative principle"

 There is Revolution going on. The Sen- ate is taken by the enemy, but the House have come over to us. By missions given and promised, and by the means of Arkan- sas, and Michigan, Van Buren is made om- nipotent in Mir. Rives' aristocratic body," but the democracy" are with us now and will be more with us next session, New Jer- sey, Indiana and Connecticut coming to our aid.

 The L0nd Biu.-It sleeps the sleep of death! N is Gs dead as Julius Cesar. LGuS Dec! It was conceived in sin, and brought forth in iniquity, and was the worst project party le- gislation ever begot. It lays upon the table House-and we shall not again hear even the rattle of its bones. Here the House have been the conservative body again What amuses me is to witness the wrath ofthe Van Buren men from the new States whom the Northern Van Buren men have fooled. These boys from the Western woods, who without doubt, are good "squatters," and who can kill deer, and swim river, fancy that they can understand New York tactics, but the New York Van Buren men cheat them every other day, and laugh at them for being their dupes. What, MT. Sevier, cradled in an Ar kansas cane break, and famed by hurri- cane, think you that you are match for MT. Wright of the Regency training, and MT. gency will educate these gosling politicians by and by.

 3ecos.-The solitary star of Texas is in the ascendant! The Senate have not only by decisive vote passed the Resolution re- cognising Texian Independence, but have refused to-day to reconsider this vote (ayes "A, nays 24.) This is great thing for Tex as from the Treaty making power of the Constitution. The Resolution is joint one. That item of conditional appropriation which allows Mir. Van Buren to send a Minister to Texas, when he thinks proper, has passed Thus Texas has quasi recognition even if the House does not pass the Joint Resolution from the Senate.

 Ihe Tariff Bin.-This Bill is tumbled into that vast reservoir of the Committee of the Whole, and there it slumbers. It may be considered dead unless there should be some sudden movement on account of the new pas- sage of the distribution of the surplus act.- Congress now has an existence of less than 24 hours, in which time it is quite too late to act upon Revenue Law.

 Ihave not time to comment now upon these extraordinary proceedings of the Senate but they will, hereafter, be made the subject of much indignant discussion all over the country. The attempt to snatch from the People what is their own for the benefit of the Opposite Banks, to loan money to them at two per cent. per annum, when it is worth two per month, is an atrocity a little too glar- ing for the people of this country No doubt now exists that there will be surplus, and large surplus-and who dare say, that as the money is raised, the People shall not have what is their own? The House is highly ex- cited upon this question-and it is the topic of much conversation. H.

 The Globe of Friday, contains an official letter from General Jesup, in which that self degraded and disgraced comn1andant, at- tempts to avert from himself the odium which has every where been heaped upon him for the disreputable intrigue by reason of which he succeeded in superseding General Scott, in his command. But he much mistakes public opinion throughout the U. s. if he supposcs that any disclaimers he may now enter, will avail him in the estimation of the people. It is miserable resort on the part of the slan- derer and traducer of gallant soldiers rep utation, to plead that he has been mistaken Tn his estimation of the difficulties which his pre- decessors had to encounter.

 The plain facts of the case are these :- Gen. Jesup was ambitious 1.-the command in the southern campaign and as he could only succeed in his wishes by superseding Gen. Scott, he entered into base intrigue with Blair of the Globe, to effect his purpose. In this he succeeded; but the public generally, and every officer and soldier of the army u, mite in pronouncing his conduct disgraceful in the highest degree and now, in order to deprecate the just indignation of his country men, he writes an official letter exonerating his predecessors from all censure, and apolo- gising for his own misconduct Conduct like this can only be compared to that of high way robber, who having robbed his victim, and as he supposed, put an end to his exis- tence, humbly begs pardon for his offence as soon as he finds that his intended victim Is not dead, and about bringing him to justice.

 But the subject is disgusting one, and we forbear further remarks, in order that our readers may hear Gen. Jesup's apology for his treachery towards his friend and com- manding officer. The following is the con- clusion of his official letter, dated Fort Arm strong, Feb. 7th, 1887:

 "As an act of justice to all my predecessors in command, consider it my duty to say that the difficulties attending military operations in this country, can be properly appreciated only by those acquainted with them. have had advantages which neither of them pos sesscd, in better preparations and more abun- dant supplies and found it impossible to operate with any prospect of success, until had established a line of depots across the country.

 "This is a service which no man would seek with any other view than the mere per- formance of his duty distinction, or increase of reputation, is out of the question and the Is %hr% %ko hoc< ronnorka1
