cities and towns, who use no other light than
wax candles, and no other sweetening than
honey. As there is no cessation in the floral
production, so there is none in the labors of
the “little busy bee." who " improves each
shining hour“ all the year round, and does
not, like the lazy bee at the North, go to
sleep in tlte fall and wake up in the spring.
To show with what facility these two articles
are obtained here, I will mention one in-
stance that came under my observation.
Soon after my arrival here, a waiter in my
hotel placed some fifteen to twenty wine box-
esatouud the wall in the rear of the yard,
leaving an opening for the bees to enter.
Having occasion 'to leave recently. he gath-
, cred his war and honey—thirty-two pounds
‘of the former and four gallons of the latter,
which he sold at 30 cents a pound and 50
cents a gallon. The beeseame without even
an s'rier‘am'on, and received no care or atten-
' tion whatever. Quite a‘busiuesa is donciu
this way, in the grounds of the old conventa.
and- among the ruins of the buildings—using
old barrels, boxes, pieces of the hollow palm .
and eocoanut trees for their habitations.
Turning from the afiairs of this to our own
country. it is exceedingly painful to see the
angry and discourteous dissensions in the
papers and among the leading politicians
upon-the right of rufi‘rage. A large portion.
and I fear the maj-irity,-are in favor of with.
.holding from the negro any voice in the af
faint of the goveritmeut under which he lives.
andv'from whom the government expects as
much as from “bite man. God created all

cient,‘cohld, if He h d seen fit. have placed
'an impassable barrier to any mixture of the
, races, or that. there should be any afiilistion
' between them. He having thus constituted
them human beings, and given them facul-
ties little less than the whites. perhaps. when
the advantages are equal, I can see no found
' ationwhatever for the arguments generally
used against allowing them the privilege.
To say that they are materially deficient in
capacity lormoral, social and intellectual im-
provement. is per verting the truth of history.
Why, at the hotel when I put up there are

will Cilnlpll'erltl'fll'jlbly with any legislative
bidy in the United "States. I have before
expressed my abhorrence of amalgamation,
in your columns. and that I cou'd never view
it otherwise tltan as a crime and a sin against
Grid and our nature. But who are the ag-
gees-Jot Educate the blacks and they would
feel it to be degrading to their race to cohabit
wi'h'nny other. for they have been the vic-
tims. 'The dictates of a common hum-inity,
too. ought to move us now to do all we can
consistently to alleviate their condition and
elevate them, for they did not intrude them-

and for the basest of purposes. Retributive
“justice has at length tried and punished us
for our complicity and participttion in the
great crime of African bondage by the four
years-of war. with its terrible loss of life and
treasure. and the consequences entailed upon
us in many years to come; and how much
better it wuuld be for us now to make a clean
breast of it, acknowledge mantullv our LISI
errors, and show our penitence by striving to
elevate them in the scalcoi humanity, in-

There is one very good article in the Domini
can-Constitution just-now adopted,anil which
I may have been the accidental cause of iIr-_
insertion, although I' am 'not positive. In
universition with. one of the, committee-on.
frittt‘t’niv the C institution. upon the agitation
of the question of sufi'rage in the United
States, I remarked I thought the most rea-
unable qualification Wftllltl he to read and
wrrte'ih elltgibly, which I noticed seemed to
strihe‘hirh fworahly at the time. Thesuh-
stance of the article is tlrisi “All who arrive
at the age of 21 on or alter the 1st of Janua-
ry, 1870, and cannot lead and write intelligi-
bly, sliarlunot be entitled to a vote." Here is
a powerful stimulus to education, and what a
gebuke this is to their late rulers. the Span-
iards! And what a contrast does this coun-
try even now present, with all the disadvan-
tages they have labored under duringthe
short periods they have been indo-pehdent of
Spain, to the degraded condition of thr-
asses 2n"- tIiat country I I enclose a slip
which I'r-ut' from a late Spanish paper, giv-
ing the official 'statistrcs of" the COD—dillull oI
the population of Spain. and I translate some
of the lemrrks made on laying thetn htfore
the Cortes: “ We j -urnalists. tnembersot the
Cortes, Senators and Ministers; we, who talk
so much of linen y, are void of conscience it
we do not'bow our heads with shame and.
confusion when we read the account here
presented. 'Tuere can he no liberty of the
people where ignorance has her empire, for
Ignorance first debascs \aud their enclaves.
0t 15.636181 Spaniards, only 3.130.015 can

read and write. Is this what. we call prog. _

Mn? l_s this the fruit of fifty years of retro.
lotions? Does the government know the
significance of these twelve millions who
cannot read? TWelve millions attire mercy
of the designing and malicious!" And how
strange it seems, that a man who reasons
thus, should fail to see the real cause of all
this degradation and ignorance— the suprem-
acy of the Church of Rome and the domina.
tion of her clergy? That is her policy, to
keep the maple in ignorance. Turn in what-
ever dirrciton you please in Christendom.
and yon-i111 find the people ignorant and
depraved-just in proportion to the predomin-
ance of the Roman Catholic religion. Who
but the ignorant and depraved—or, if educa-
ted, have'n‘ever had their minds exercised
upon the'sulxjtct of religion—could be de-
ceived. by the corrupt practices of the con-
fessioddlgand the pretended power of absolu-
tion t ’r‘ Whirl hit but a dispensation of licen-
sesio evil-(triers? I never saws man in the

rules of 111$ church rt-auirc, and on his death-
bed I‘hdvfe. more hopes of. the people of

this country, for they are only nominally
Catholics, and do not generally acknowledge
the supremacy of the Pope.

A large vessel, with a very valuable cargo.

bound from Liverpool to ‘Mutumoras. has

been wrecked on this island. A small por

tion of the most valuable articles. chiefly for
lrtdies’ apparel, was saved and brought in
here and srld. Some that ware intended to
adorn the swartlty belles of Mexico, may now
perhaps be scattered in your section, and
adorn some of the iatrenskinned belles of
Connecticut. The “ Old Ocean” is very
whimsical and capricious in the service she
tendon to the people in different parts of the

'globe,1n bearing the products from those of

one section to another—sometimes appropri-
ating all to herself, and then giving those of
one country that which had been prepared
"especially for those of another; and thus dis-
appointing one to the gratification of the
other. Among the goods saved and sold
here," was a large service of plate, cutlery.
&c., ordered for a wedding present, with
many other articles washed away with the
wreck. The articles saved were bought by
the Italian Consul and presented to his
daughter on her marriage last Saturday
night, and the other couple are probably
still waiting. .1 Panama.

Masses Eritrean—In reading yOIf‘hl‘ll-
clc,‘ "The Wants of Norwalk." (which is
heartily endorsed.) it seems to the you forgot
‘or OVerIookcd the first great want, and that
is, the want of a good channel in our harbor.
It cannot require much argument to con-
vince any man that, until we havethe facili-
ties for doing business, we are working up
hill and slow et'tgh toaatiufy thegreatest
logy to be found. Look at Bridgeport.
What. has built her up? Was it money?
Was it good. hard-working business men?
No, for we have had all there, and I think
more than Bridgeport, but it. was her harbor,
whereby her money increased and the enter-
prise of her business men found egress, and
the productions of her labor and capitalist
found a cheap mode of transportation to mar-
ket. We all know that water carriage is the
cheapest. and where that is, men will invest
and no inducements We can give will cutlII-V
tt-rbalauce the want of. good water communi
cation. - If it were a difficult undertaking. or
one that would not yield a return of ten fold.
I would not say a word, but. it will pay a
good interest to every than in town, especially
properly owncrxrand it will not cost much to
make the channel so that a boat Could go or
come. two hours either way of low water.
Ann, Messrs. Editors, after waiting ten long
years for arty good to result from the many
“ Votes and Resolves " that have been passed
on it, I appeal to you “ to peg away at it"
until it ‘is done. and if you can make the
community believe that it will pay, it will be
put through.

for “internal improvements," the above cu-
terprise would 'have been carried through
long ago. But as it is, citizens will not con-
tribute, aud selfishly look to Government for
assistance. We have “ pegged away” at. it'

still, if our correspondent can convince the

Tux Anchorman—The House of Repre-

Wednesday. in‘ passing by a vole of 120 to

portioned among the several Suites which

The last f‘ongicss authorized a commis
sion to investigate and scrutinize the whole
subject or taxation.- with a view to the sim-
plificat‘oo irf our revenue syslt=m,so‘as to ren-
ler our taxes less multifarious-anti less but-
rlettsome. The commission has made its re-
purl, proposing numerous changes, among
them are the‘following : '

1. An exemption of all incomes below $1,
000 from the itrcotrte tax. _

2. A reduction-if the tax on distilled liq.
uors front $2 to $1 p r gallon. -

3 A remission ot all taken now levied on,
wrari g apparel. -

4. A r-pcal or the taxes now levied on pic
:ron($2 40 for ion) coal (firts. per ton) and
:crndr petroleum ($1 per gallon ) -

5. A repeal of all taxes now levied on.
books, maaazines and pamphlets, leaving the
: present taxe. on paper, leat her, etc., untouch-

. 6. A rcdr'ctiun of one-half of the duties

now levied on home titartufirctures cent-rally.

7, A-repeal if all taxes now levied on re-
pairs of r ugthr-s, cars. r atri ges. ships. etc.

8. A rrpchl'of all taxes ethooditd in St'ltcd
.nle A of tire internal rt-Vetrue act, of last ses-
a'IUlI, t xcept tli tee on billiard tables.

9. A retluctionol the tax now lcvyerl oti
broker’s sales of" stocks from $5 per $1,000 to
$1 per $1.000.

10. Art increase of the tax on raw cotton
front 2 to 5 cents per pouud.

—-These modifications are proposed to take
efiect on the 1st of July next. or at the coin-
utcncctneut of the next fiscal year. and lhtir
general effect will be a reduction of our pres-
ent burden of internal taxes by about om-
Iourth. Yet, even with these meliorations.
they calculate that our internal revenue will
amount. for the year ensuing to no less than
02374100000. and our duties on iuip are to
$130.000.000, making an aggregate revenue
of $367,000,000. If. their. the cost of sup-
porting our government shall be $100 000000
and the interest on our public debt sh- uId
teat-h $107,000,000, there would be left $100,
000.000 to apply to the reduction of the prin—
ritual of our national debt, at which rate it
wou‘d bcutlerly extinguished within twen-
ty-five years.

EDITORIAL LETTER.
Wasurserort, Feb. 8, 1866.

Another notable week has just closed-
The Senate, yesterday. _af_erqe_ndurirg the
almost uneitdurable‘ full: of Garrulohs Davis,
adjourned over to.londay. while the Ilouse
(«tracing its Speaker, that he'inic'ht fly-up to
Hartford and give his great Lec-ure thereto
night) has devoted the day to doctiasion ol
the immensely important Freedthan's Bu-
reau bill. _ .
’ But the most significant events of the week
iii Congress are the passage. of Roscoe Cool.-
liug's Coristitutional Amendment. s'imu aled
no doubt by the entirely novel and-somewhat
remarkable message from the President ad
dressid to C-rnuress through the medium of
the Ass DClIlt'd Press; the passage of the
Personal Liberty and Freedtnan’s Bureau
bills in the Senate—and the speech oi vener-
able Thaddeus Stevens in to ply to Mr. Ray-
mond of New York. And here let the re-
mark that, in the opinion of competent judg-
es, the abstract oratory of the present Con
areas is equal to the days of Wirt, Webster.
blny,C-tlllflllll and Benton. Great occasions
draw out. great men, and the speeches of
Sliellabarger. Bingt.am, Kelly, Deming, and
now of Mr Stevens, wili be read in after
years and declaimed in schools by American
youth, as among the finest specimens of Con
greasional eloquence and oratory. The speech
of Mr. Stevens on Thursday was something
more than eloquent—at tithes he rose to it

carried conviction to every listener of the
speaker‘s great love of just Ice, or his syrup...
thy for the oppressed, of his undying patri.
otism; and when he came to scan the New
York gentleman’s closing eulogium upon
dead rebels, and his classifying them with
our own patriotic dead, the “old man elo
quent" gave utterance to an outburst of in-
drgnant invecttvc that wits perfrctly fearful,
andwhicli has led the jocose ever sinccro

general principle and regardless of consi-t-

Congress is full of firm, patriotic, God-fearing
men, who gill not yield their own sense of
duty and justice and right, whatever results.
Let not these men he lightly esteemed by the
