In the Senate on the 13th, Mr Hunter reported the Tarriff and Loan bill. The Legislative aud Executive appopriatton bill was discussed. Mr Huuter wished to amend it by aur thorizing the na; of 20,000,000 Qreastiry ntcs during the recess of Congress. 1 On the civil bill there was a long debate, the Democrats charg ing the Repnblcans with extravagance, and vice versa. An amendment, funding for five years the 820,000,000 loan, was agreed to, ayes 29, noes 19. The House considered the resolutions condemning the Secretary of the Navy and President for cor ruption in naval contracts, and distributing public patronage. Mr Bocock opposed them on the ground that the House had no power to form itself into a tribunal for the condemnation and infliction of punishment on ex parte evidence obtained during a former Con gress. And besides, the evidence was insufficient. Messrs Sherman and Hatton expressed views directly opposite to those of Mr Bocock, who mov ed to lay tne resolutions on the table, lliis was negatived ajes GO, naysl20. The Japanese and the Christian Religion The Japanese Embassy having, a few days ago been presented with copies of the Bible, and invited to attend public worship at the 'capital, they have replied through the . united btates Commissioner. that but one religion is known and acknowledged by the laws of Japan; that they are forbidden in any manner to take part in or be present at the celebration of any other, and while expressing their acknowledgements for the interest and kind atten tions of their American friends, they respectfully decline entering into any conversation or receiving any books of a religious character or being present at any ot the religious solemnities to which they have been or may be invited. Torturing of Chinese. We referred in our last to the coolie trade at Amoy; it appears from the following that the Chinese authorities have equalled in their brutal punishments the famous Yeh himself. It appears that two American vessels have been most conspicuous in procuring coolies, and the cruelties narrated are principally in connection with them. A Chinese fenialy, aged 18 years', had been sent to the village of Tong Wha, there to be crucified, while on the cross to have her breasts cut off and publicly skinned alire, for having kidnapped and sold coolies to foreign vessels two tninanicii nave nau tneir ancles ournt, nung for three days by their toes, and received 1,000 cuts with the bamboo during that time: and last decapitated and their hearts cut out and carried on salvers to their parents and families. Five other Chinese, one a woman, are under sentence of torture and death for dealing in coolies. A Chinaman was crucified on suspicion of having assisted to procure coolies for foreign vessels.

April 9, 18C0. tf mm "I WISH I HAD CAPITAL." This was the exclamation of a stout, heartv was the exclamation of a stout, but lazy young man, the other day. Now, suppose you had capital what would you do with it? Let me tell you, you have capital. Haven't you got hands and feet, and body and muscles, and bone and brains, and don't you . call them capital?. Oh! but they are not money, say you., But they are'; more than money., ? If yoa will use them they; will make moneyvand nobody can take them from you!" ' Don't you know how to use them? If you don't it is time you were learn ing. Take hold of the first plough, or hoe, or jack plane, or broad axe that you can find, and go to work. Your capital will soon yield you a large interest. Aye, but there's the rub, you don't want to work, you want money or credit that you may play the gentleman and speculate, and end by playing the vagabond; or you want a plantation of negroes, that you may hire an overseer to attend to them while you run about over the country and dissipate and get in debt; or you want to marry some very rich girl, who may be foolish enough to take you tor your fine clothes and good looks, that she may support you. Shame upon you young-man! Go to work with the capital you have; you'll soon make interest up on it, ana with it to give you as much money as you want, and make you feel f ike a man. I . ' you can i maxe money upon what capital you nave, you couldn t make !t it you had a million o dollars in money. If you don't know how to use bone, muscles and brains, you would not know how to use gold. If you let the capital you have lie idle and waste and rust out, it would be the very same thing with you if you had goldj you would only know how to waste. Then don't stand about like a great helpless child, waiting tor some body to come and feed you but go to work. J ake the first work you oan find no matter what it is, so that you be sure to do it like Jim Gray did his drumming well. Yes, man age the capital you already have; vou will soon have plenty more to manage; if you can't or won't manage the capital xod has given you, you wil never have any more to manage. Do you hear? THE JAPANESE On their xcay to New York. Burlington, JN urlington and a . J., June 16, 11 A. M Al lanre portion of the neighbor hood turned out to-day to witnesa the passage through the town or the special tram containing the Japanese Ambassadors and tLoir suite. The crowd cheered the strangers man 7 of whom re sponded by waving fans, &c., from the car-win dows. Am boy, N J. the special train containing the Japanese Embassy, arrived here at five in in utes after twelve o'clock, making the run from Camden in a trifle less than two hours. The fine steamboat Alida, chartered bv the New lork Committee lor the purpose, was in watting here, having left ew lork at 10 o clock, bring- ing tne Aldermen ana uounciiinen, and other . All 11' 1 1 . privileged persons. Several other ffpamers ac companied the Alida and will act as an escort back to New Yors Considerable time was spent in transferring the Japanese and their baggage from the cars to the beat, and in interchanging salutations and civih ties. I he Philadelphia Committee formally trans ferred the guests of the nation to the Committee of the New York authorities. It was thirty-seven minutes past twelve when the Alida got away from the railway pier, and started for New York, American and Japanese flags flying, the band playing, and people cheering. New lORK, June 16. hverything is given up to Japan to-day, scarcely any th4ng having been thought of since noon, but the Japanese Embassy, and their reception Broadway, from Union Square to the Battery, is a mass of human beings, and there are nearly equal crowds in the other streets through which the procession is to pass. The Ambassadors and the suite are to land at the Battery, and the route of the procession is through Battery place to Broadway, through Broadway to Grand street, through Grand street to the Bowery, through the Bowery and Fourth avenue to and around Lnion Square to Broadway, down Broadway to the Me tropolitan Hotel. The military turn-out is the largest and finest ever seen heie, the whole force amounting to nearly six thousand men. A police force of one thou sand men is employed to accompany the procession and keep the streets clear irom curb to curb. The appearance of Broadway, with its enormous crowd of people, and its hundreds of flags, Ameri canJapanese and those of other nations, is very striking. All sorts of devices and decorations are exhibited, some of them appropriate and others quite the contrary. The Metropolitan Hotel where the guests are to be lodged, is profusely adorned within and with out, it is the chief centre of attraction lor the multitude of people. The scene at the Battery and in the bay is ex citing beyond description. The approach of the Alida is announced oy salutes from Governors sland, from the Battery and from various vessels in the harbor. Every vessel is gaily adorned with flags. The weather is very hot and there is every ap pearance of coming rain. 2 P. M. The Alida is just coming to at the pier, amid the nnng ot cannon and cneers ot the multitude. Bric.iiam Young.

They contend that most , of the members of Congress are, practically, polygamists, to a greater extent than the Mormons.

' Daniel Vebster was th ann nf ttnnr mn.in j The first grandeur he knew was. that of the -hilla : ; that lifted" their granite brows in eternal worfhip ! towards heaven the onlv nrIendor. that of ma. ; jestic clouds and leaping torrents, the triumphal entry of the sun through avenues of golden glory, ; and his western march like that of a monarch, wrap ping robes of crimson 'and 'carmine , about .Mm, And yet for greatness, intellectually speaking, tb ' the world hath scarcely his equal. Who knows if the babe Daniel Webster, had been rocked in rose wood cradle and lulled to sleep with a silver rattle in his hand, reared in the midst of a city street, with no wild nnthems of the forest no thunder leaping from crag to crag to bring out the strong elements of the miud no birds in the branches, and no silver streams to awaken the more ethereal and picturesque characteristics of his intellect and group them into harmony; who knows but the world had sighed over greatness born to blush unseen, to droop, to die in comparative Bolitude? Sons of poor mothers? What a host of them have scaled the summit of immortality! Thev have left their impress in the lands of idols, and many a dark-browed heathen has learned the way of salvation through their almost superhuman ex ertions. Everywhere throughout the world, how they stand forth and challenge our hooaage! . Not with glossy kids and faultless coats, patent, boots and slender canes, do they go forth, the admired whiskerandoes of thoughtless girls, but with sturdy step and clouted shoes with bigns of the much used needle here and there showing with patch knees and elbows, and with many an evidence be sides, that they were the sons of poor mothers. All honor to the som of poor mothers! To them the nation looks for statesmen and defenders. For them there will always be vacancies in ' the halls of science, seats in the temples of the legis latures, and pulpits in our churches. For them the doors of the White llouso have sprung wide open, and shall again, while the people gathor in crowds to do them reverence. "He was the son of a poor woman!" Let it nav er be spoken with the sneer of self-sufficient thai lownees, for it is in the hearts of poor women that the noblest resolves have birth. They make sacri fices that would put to blush the indolence and negligence of the purse proud. Over their hum ble homes shine the stars that heralded the event ' of heaven-lorn intelligence. It has ever been so since the star of Bethlehem blazed above the spot where Christ, the King of heaven; lay upon the bosom of a poor woman.. While, they .toil, with tears, and struggle with adversity, angels J whisper . the destination of the babes that sleep against their hearts. At their lowly hearthstones the -young mind is imbued with the holy principles oft he Bible. When the child comes sobbing' home -grieved and indignant, because thoBe better dress-; ed have scorned him, the poor mother, her .heart filled with faith, points out his noble destiny. She it is who inspires him with glowing hojs, teaches him that merit lies not in the paltry adorn ments of the outward man; that in the years' com- ing those who sneer at him now may feel honored by his careless glance; that it lays with himself whether he shall be a master spirit in his con quering all grosser inclinations in his aspitatibns after the exalted, the things that pertain to the intellectual might of man in his subjugating of. every vicious inclination in his rcsoluto will to be an hoHor to his country." ISptrt of the Age. ' AFFECTION AND INTELLIGENCE OF THE BBUTTE CREATION. . . Every one perhaps has heard of the sympathies of animals towards each other. "Cries of distress ' will often call them forth. When the ' dam of a new-born lamb has died, sonic affectionate sheep, although she may have one of her own, has been" known to foster and suckle the helpless one. Iu my own immediate neighborhood, the youngest of a large litter of pigs a poor little helpless creature who was hot able ti get at its mother for nourishment, was warmed under the wings of a good naturcd hen. It was ed by hanll, but when turned down, the hen wa.v always ready to t iko charge of it, and . thus it was reared. These ' instances .might be multiplied to a considerable t, showing the active benevolence of some 1 .1 At f l . animals, Dot tne loiiowing tact win prove tne . existence of a combined intelligence in creatures which I have reason to believe has been hitherto unnoticed by naturalists as existing amongst the feathered creation. The aceuracy of the anecdote may be vouched for. In - the Island of Ceylon there is to be found a very cunning and cnible crow somewhat smaller than our-own native one. having a glossy back, and altogether rather an.; engaging, pretty-bird. Now, in the yard of the governor of Ceylon, a dog was one day amusing himself by gnawing a bone, the scraps of meat upon which attracted the attention of one of these crows, it aiignteu on tne grouna, noppea around the dog and the bone, and evidently waited an opportunity for seizing the latter. The dog, how ever, was on his guard, and by certain growls and probably angry looks, which the bird understood -no doubt, protected his property. The crdw was too cunning and too hungry to . be baffled. He flew away but soon returned with a companion.' - hey hopped up to the dog, wben the fresh arrival watched his opportunity and gave a sudden pull at the dog's tail.
