" , j -Gen. Hampton has introduced in the Senate a bill making it indictable for a Senator or Representative in Congress to recommend an application for. appointment to office. . The Senator is . evidently Worn out by the importunities of hungry, constit uents, ' ; who call on him for aid jin securing positions, and is anxious to relieve himself from further annoyance. When are the 'indignities. to. the democratic voter to cease? They have elected a President aridnaturallv expected the offices; but the President soon tired of hearing their applications, and closed-the doors of the "White House against them, and now Senator Hampton wants a law making it a crime to recommend one of them to office. Hampton seems to think it is as criminal to recommend a democrat ... .it for appointment to office as it is to rob the -mail, for in his bill he makes the fine the Same. The democratic leadersjhave no re spect for a poor man after they have polled his vote. , ' . - "The south," said General Grant, hot long before the close of his life, "has been in many ways a disappointment to me. I hoped a great deal from the south; but these hopes have been wrecked. I hope that northern capital wbuld pour into the souths .that northern influence and horthern energy would soon repair all that war had wasted. But that never came. Korthern capitalists saw that they could hot go south without leaving self-respect at home, and they remained at home. The ery terms of the invitations ypu see in all the southern papers show tba$. j The edi tors say they are glad to have northern men, provided they do not take part in politics. "Why shouldn't they take part ! in politics? They are made citizens .for that. So long as this spirit prevails there will be no general emigration of northern men to the south. ; I was disappointed, arery much so, It would have been a great thing for the south if some of the streams of emigration from New York and the middle states to ward Iowa and Kansas had been diverted into the south." j f ' - i . 1 -Baron Rothschild lias given the world the f olloving alphabet of maxims: Attend carefully to the details of your business.

A new volcano, one of the largest and most interesting in the world, has recently been discovered in the Pacific ocean, near the island of: ' Honga Tonga. . Mr. H. Shipley, the consul at Auk land, New Zealand, sends to the state de partment the following account of it; A new and vast volcano has arisen , in the Pacific ocean. At daylight on Oct. 13 we observed dense volumes of steam, smoke and clouds ascending. We sailed sufficiently near to see that it was a submarine volcano erup tion. Considering it not prudent to approach any nearer that night we lay to until morn ing. We i then approached to about the distance of two miles. I have not words to , express my wonder and surprise at its r: changing splendor. . , Eruptions take place every one or two. minutes, changing its appearance every second, like a dissolving view. I can only say it was one of the most awfully grand sights I ever witnessed on the high seas. As near as able to .calculate the position of the volcano, it is about . fourteen jailes from the island of Honga Tonga. As to the size of the island thrown up, I am unable to state correctly, there being so much steam and clouds hanging over it, but I judge it is at least two or three miles long and sixty feet high, latitude 20 ' degrees 21 minutes, longitude 75 degrees 28 minutes." .';!)'

Grant's un published correspondenoe. with Fits John Porter and others, in reference to Porter's vindication and retirement as major general of the United 'States army, is in the hande of Gens.! Wheeler and Bragg, who have charge of the measures in the house of representa tives for Porter's relief. I The letters cover a period extending from Sept. 8, 1S30, to July 4, 1SS4, and while they constitute little that Is not already known of the general's change of attitude inl regard to j the justice of Por ters conviction by court martial in 1SG3, the correspondence is chiefly interesting as exhibiting Gen. Grant's strong sense of jus tice, in earnestly laboring to remove a bur den which he believed had been place! on an innocent man. Sept. 8, 1SGG, Porter wrote to Gen! Grant, asking him to aid in effecting a re-exam i nation of the proceedings-i. of j the court martial, to which the latter replied, declining . to interfere with the action of an administra tion occurring prior to his command of the' armyi In the correspondence which passed between Sepi f10, 1867, and Dec l, lSSL. Gen. Grant appears not to have wavered in his belief that Porter's sentence was a just one; but on Dec 9.18S1, he wrote to Gen. Porter as follows: 4I have been able to give some days to the reading of the papers which yon submitted tome, but have not finished thenju I can say now, however from what I have read, fl believe I have heretofore done you ah injustice, both in thought and speech,' and il of the; same opinion when through the examination of your easel I will regard it a solemn obligation on my part to - correct the wrong so far as I have any responsibility for i j; ' ! " ' Pea 22 GeX Grant wrote to the president: "At the request of Gen. Fitz John Porter I have recentiy .reviewed! his trial and the testimony held before the SchoSeld court of inquiry held in 1879. The reading of tie whole record has thoroughly convinced me that for these nineteen years I have 1 been doing a gallant : and efficient soldier a very great injustice in thought and sometimes in speech. Ijfeel it incumbent upon me nw to, do wnatever lies in my power to remove from I him and from" his family the stain upon his good name. I am now convinced that: he rendered faith ful, efficient and intelligent service. I would ask jthat the .whole matter be laid before the attorney general for his examina tion and opinion, hoping that you will be able to do this much for ; an officer who has suffered . for, : nineteen years a punishment that nver should be inflicted upon any but the most guilty." .1 : . - 1 M'cLeLLAN'S MEMORY HONORED. : if;.,'- . j ..."

EXULTATION AMONG THE PEOPLE OVER THE1 BRIGHT PROSPECT. Nationalist Leaders ?Cot o Confident of the Early Fulfillment of Their Hopes. Xortl Uartlngton's Statement The Bake of Savllle Arrested. Dublix, Decs 21. The peopb of Ireland were in a state of exultation over lha prospect of an end to the struggle for an Irish parliament. Great crowds of the citi zens, in their Sunday best and with laugh ing faces, passed along College green, paying particular attention to the oi l Irish house of parliament as ; though it had not been a familiar object to them all their , lives. "The . day when it would not be patrolled by red coated sentries they seemed to think not far OUV " . .. !'-:'.- Among the newly elected Nationalist mem however, there is not an equal cer tainty as to the nearness of the settlement. They all appear confident of final triumph, but it'is wonderful how discrest they, have become in public utterances until 31r. Tar nell shall give them the word. Dispatches from the north of Ireland re port several speeches by leading Orangemen declaring war to the knife on the National ists, and appealing to the Protestants of Eng land not to desert them by turning them over to the mereies of an Irish parliament. Mr. O'Brien, on being askel his opinion of these fiery and plaintive addresses, said: . "It is all nonsense. The Nationalists are not a party of revenge or retaliation. The ; Orange outcry will, doubtless, have some effect in England, but it will end in their being discredited, when it is evident that their fears are as unfounded as their voting strength has proved, ridiculously small. Thousands of Protectants all over Ireland voted for the Nationalist members, many of whom'are Protestantslike Mr. Parnell. w Lord llartington Speaks. Loxnorr, Dec .21. The Marquis of Hart-" lngton. sent to The Central News the first -authoritative statement which has been re ceived from him upon the subject of Irish home rule. He accompanied the statement with a request that it should be published as widely as possible in the united kingdom, and be cabled to America. The public por tion of his letter is as follows: My name lias been; frequently mentioned in connection with reports on the subject of -a scheme of Irish policy which is stated to . be under consideration by the leaders of the Liberal party.
