SENATK. Met at 3 p. m. Three House bills were disposed of for future consideration, and after disposing of a number of House messages, the Senate adjourned. The Achinese, who are in a state of insurrection against the Dutch, constitute a kingdom in the Northwestern part of the Island of Sumatra in the Indian Archipelago known as Acheen. These people in former times were powerful enough to expel the Portuguese from the island, and important enough for their sovereign to receive embassies from some of the greatest potentates of Europe. The Achinese are taller, stouter, darker coiuplex-ioned than the other Sumatrans, are more active and industrious than their neighbors, and have more sagacity and penetration. Tiiey number about) '200,000. For a number of years these people have been under the controlling guidance of the Dutch, and the first intimation we had the Dutch were having trouble with their southern brethren, was a telegram last week announcing that the Dutch commander had been killed and his forces driven back to the seashore in a conflict with the Achinese. A telegram from The Hague last night says information has been received there from Sumatra that epera-tions by land against the insurrectionists have been suspended until autumn. The city of Acheen, capital of the Kingdom, will remain in a state of blockade. IIkre is a pretty good one on the New York Herald : The Herald of April ICth steals an editorial from the Columbus Dispatch of the 17th, and hasn't gumption enough to even correct a typographical error, which appeared in the original. If the Herald must steal, it ought at least to keep a proof reader capable of correcting typographical errors in stolen matter. Our colleague has a spicy editorial of twenty-three lines on "The Louisiana Muddle," in which it happens to spell "negroes" without the o, and the Herald steals it, ene day before the Dispatch gets it published, adopting the whole "sad commentary on the management of Southern sflaira by the Government," and lavishly reproducing "negres" as it was in the original.

Columbus, April 14, 1873. The time is rapidly approaching when Ohio will be called upon through her delegate conventions to put in nomination candidates for the various official posi tions, to be voted for at the coming October election. It is conceded by Republicans generally that Governor Noyes will be renominated by acclamation. For meritorious services in the field in the late Btruggle for the life of the nation, and for his commanding executive ability, he is justly entitled to a re-election. It is to the office ofLieutenant-Governor that I wish now to call especial attention. The present worthy incumbent, Governor Mueller, positively declines a re-nomination. This opens the, field for a new man. not to speak disparagingly ot any candidate who may be named in this connection, I have no hesitation in presenting the name of the Hon. Alphonso Hart, of Portage, as being eminently qualified for the position. Mr. Hart is a man in the prime of life, self-possessed and dignified under all circumstances ; an able lawyer, an experienced legislator, and possessing rare oratorical powers. Nor must the importance of having men thatcan talk to the people be underrated. Whatever theorists may say of Btunip-speaking, it is still a live institution, and the man that can address nis audience forcibly and eloquently makes friends and votes where another would scarcely at tract attention. As chairman of the Judiciary committee of the present Senate, he haB discharged lua omcial dunes Willi signal ability, and in this position has the confidence, not only of those associated with him in this committee, but of the entire body of Senators. Not less efficient and satisfactory has the action of Mr. Hart been to the republicans of Ohio, and the soldiers in particular, as chairman of the committee on Privileges and Elections, to whom was referred the celebrated Kemp-Sayler contest coso of the Montgomery ind Preble Senatorial district. The soldiers of Ohio will remember with gratitude the able report and defense of their rights and the signal triumph achieved under the management and leadership of Mr. Hart on this occasion. Three hundred and sixty-eight disabled veterans of the Soldiers' Home at Dayton went to the polls and tendered their votes, which were rejected by a Democratic board. It was admitted that they had no other home, tht they had been there the full length of time required by law to entitle them to vote, but it was claimed that the land where the home was situated was no part of the State of Ohio, although lying in Montgomery county, for the reason that it was a United States asylum. The Supreme Court had also made a decision of the same sort. Mr. Hart, believing that these veterans were voters, and that it was an act of gross injustice to disfranchise them, made a report to the' Senate arguing the legal and constitutional questions involved in the case, and concluded the report with a resolution declaring that the votes tendered should have been received and counted, and that Sayler, the candidate for whom the soldiers offered votes, should have had his seat in the Senate. This report brought on the most exciting and memorable struggle which has ever occurred in the Senate of Ohio. The result of that contest was a declaration by a . majority of the Senate that these veterans were voters, and Sayler was admitted to his seat. Soon after this the Supreme Court affirmed the principle of the decision thus made by the Senate. And thus the right of the veterans to the elective franchise was firmly established. . Opposition may be made to Mi1, Hart's nomination on account of location. This I trust in the minds of Republicans will amount to nothing. Let fitness for the position govern the choice of candidates. By the nomination of Mr. Hart and by associating his name with that of Governor Noves, the work of the campaign will he comparatively easy. I trust that the names of Noyes and Hart will be associated to lead the campaign of 187S.

Under this law quarterly nrennvmente of nostaire will be reauired on all newspaper exchangee and county newspapers, the same aa is now and win be then required in the case of all subscriptions, namely : five cent per quarter for weekly newspapers.thirty cents per quarter for papers published six times per week, and thirty-five cents per quarter for daily papers: prepayment per quarter or per year to be made either at the office where mailed or at the otnee where delivered. In other words the same rule will be applied to all newspapers, by whomsoever sent or received. Last week ex-Congressmnn Tom Kin-sella, editor of the Brooklyn Eagle, was entertaining Mrs. Field, wife of the Superintendent of Public Instruction, at a hotel on the Coney Island road, when Mrs. Kinsella appeared upon the scene and went for Mrs. Field in old-fashioned style. She called Mrs. Field a strumpet, Inquired how she got her One dresses, and ended by striking Mrs. Field in the eye. The parties then took to their respective carriages and departed for home. The matter has created a terrible hubbub. The race of jokers is not yet extinct. A Hampshire wag put the following advertisement in a weeklv paper: "who wants to buy a new milch cow, that ia every way kind, only five years old, and gives fifteen quarts of milk to a milking? Jack Rogers." The next week Mr. Rogers received no fewer than fifty applications through the paper for that cow, which were answered thus : " If I hear of any such cow, I will let you know immediately. Yours truly, J. Rogers." A call has been issued for a National Convention of Producers and Consumers of the United State to be held in New York City, May 6th next, to promote by co-operation the Interest of producers and comsumers and to consider what can be done to reduce the cost of transportation by rail and water between the West and Seaboard. The Senate committee on Transportation Rates proposes to be present in person or by delegate. At a conference, in Washington, last fall, with the Kiowaa the Government promised to exercise its good offices with -the Governor of Texas for the release of Santanta and Big Tree; but, owing to the Modoc massacre and excite taenl in onveqaenea, the release ie not now advised.

Terrible Prairie Fires and Destruc-llon of Property-HorribleAccident-Two Women and Five Children Crushed to Ilenth-Wbent Yield. Atcbikson, KAN9A9,April 21. A letter to the Daily Champion from Belleville, Republic county, about 150 miles west of this city, gives an account of terrible prairie fires in that vicinity, destroying many houses, Stables, cattle, grain, &e. The same letter records a dreadful accident which occurred Monday night a week ago, during a terrible storm which passed over that county. The house of Mr. Crane, near Belleville, was burned Saturday, and his family, a wife and four children, took shel ter in the residence of Mrs. Bennett. On Monday night the storm took the roof off of Mr. Bennett's house, a stone building, and blew in the gable end, causing it to fall into the cellar. Though severely iniured. in the morninc air.

Upon landing an im mense concourse of citizens were present lo witness the disembarkation. JNot a cheer was uttered, not even for Spain, when the new Captain-General passed by the crowd, owing to rumors widely circulated that the Republicans intended to make a demonstration.

Batonne, April 21. A correspondent ba had an interview with Lion uarios, who justifies hi present course by Baying that the act hy which the throne of Spain was given to Isabella, was in violation of the organic law of the Kingdom, and therefore illegal, and that he proposed to continue the fight for the rights of hi house, begun by hia grandfather. Hi programme of government is, that everything shall be done through a free Cortes, and that there shall be a complete decentralization in everything but politics. Castelar and Figueras, Don Carloa holds, are men of great ability, but the republic is never possible in Spain without assuming the wildest socialistic character of Thiers. Carloa says he hasn't much reason to fear his intrigues of hostility. A to Cuba, he holds the abolition of slavery to be indispensable but gradual, and not at the expense of the proprietors. He says no Government, however, dare allude in Spain to the alienation of Cuba. HOLLAND. TnB INSURGENT ACHINESE. The Hague, April 21.

It is bad enouuh to see a bachelor sew on a button, but be is the embodiment of grace alongside of a married man. Necessity has compelled experience in the case of the former, but the latter has de pended upon some one else tor this service, and, fortunately for the sake of so ciety, it is rarely he is obliged to resort to the needle himself. Sometimes the patient wife scalds her right hand, or runs a sliver under the nail of the index finger of that hand, and it is then the man clutches the needle around the neck, and, forgetting to tie a Knot in the thread, commences to put on tho button. It is always in the morning, and from five to twenty minutes after this he is expected to be down street. lie lays the button exactly on the site of its predecessor, and pushes the needle through one eye, and carefully draws the thread after, leaving about three inches of it sticking up tor lee way. tie savs to himself: "Well, if women don't have the easiest time I ever sec." Then he comes back the other way and gets the needle ttirnugii the cloth easy enough, and lays himself ont tn find the eye, but in spite of a great deal of patient jabbing the needle point persists in bucking against the solid parts of the button, and linany, when lie loses patience, his lingers catch the thread, and that three inches he has left to hold the button slips through the eye in a twinkling and the button rolls Ici-tirely across the fluor. He picks it np without a single remark, out of respect for hia children, and makes another attempt to fasten it. This time when coming back with the needle he keeps both the thread and button from slipping by covering them with his thumb, and it is out of regard for that part of him that he feels around for the eye in a very careful and judicious manner, but eventually losing hisphilosnphy as the search becomes more and more hopeless, he falls to jabbing about in a loose and savage manner, and it is just then the needle finds the opening, and comes up through the button nnd part way through his thumb with a celerity that no human ingenuity can guard against. Then he lays down the tilings, with a few familiar quotations, and presses the injured hand between his knees, and then holds it under the other arm, and finally jams it into his mouth, and all the while he prances and calls upon heaven and earth to witness that there has never been anything like it since the world was created, and howls, and whistles, and moans, and sobs. After a while he calms down, and puts on his pants and fastens them together with a stick, and goes to his business a changed man. FllninK a a Fine Art. The science of society amounts to little true art unless a certain genius goes with the knowledge ; and who will deny that there is a certain natural gift for social influence, as there is for all beautiful arts? Some persons have a rare social witchery who have not any other form of genius, and some women, of very moderate abilities in other respects, have an art of pleasing that amounts to fascination. One woman in famous attire will gather a great crowd of notables in a grand house and give them a great supper, and all shall be flat and dull; while some winsome little body, without any flashy costume or parade, and even without rare beauty, will entertain her circle of guests in a charming way of herown, and make them all at home with her and each other. She plays upon their vsrious tempers and traits and associations as a master hand plays upon the harp or piano. I hnve sometime thought that womanly charm, and perhaps even what in the best sense is called flirting, could be made one of the fine arts, and consecrated to charity, and even to religion. That bright girl takes that half dozen striplings in hand, and touches each in turn with playful grace, until they are willing captives to herspell, and ready to buy her pincushions or watch chains at the fair, or go to her church and worship by her prayer-book. There is a line, indeed, beyond which this flirting ceases to lei tine art, and becomes quitebusiness-like and utilitarian, a practical operation in making a market and bagging a husband a useful but not always ideal result Yet, as the world goes, a great deal of true missionary work is done by charming women in managing men in an artistic and legitimate way, and the Virgin Mary ha not all the work of such intercession in her hands or in her eyes, although Henry Heine naughtily called her the counter girl or the Catholic Church, who won over the Goths and Vandals. Dr. Samuel Olvood. in Harva't Jlacan'ne for May. Let Iter strive. In the Journal of last week you allud ed to a Western clergyman who preached Irora the text, "Let her drive.

Before the plate was started on its rounds it was brought into the pulpit It was the pastor's practice to come to his feet, take out his wallet, lay a bill on the plate, and do it with an air which said : "I would like to see the man who would do less than that." The boys said the bill was taken back in the vestry. One hot Sundsy night the pastor came into his pulpit dressed in white white coat vest and pants, with a red necktie fastened to his collar. After the preliminary exercise he rose, threw his coat back, put hi thumb in the arm-holes of hia vest and gated steadily at hia congregation for a minute or two amid profound silence.

Dumas's sanguinary advice to injured husbands in bis book, "Man-Woman," tho publishing of which caused such a sensation among Purisiennes lately, ia already bearing tragic fruit. The facts came out in a recent murder trial, in which Dumas conspicuously figured. The prisoner, who is a man of loose morality, waa dissatisfied with the relations between lii wife and one of his workmen, had consulted Uumas about the matter, and asked Du-mas'B advice as to whether hn should kill his wife or the workman. A plan was laid to entrap the woman into some impropriety, and the prisoner shot her, left her to bleed todeath in a garden, and told the workman to go back to his work. What was said about this on the trial may he given in Dumas's words, who was a wit. ness, and in the language of the Judge. The Court having asked Dumas whether it would not have been better to advise Rippart to have recourse to justice, heto-plied, ' I have said in many of my works wnat l think of the law which regulates urn relations uetwecn Husband and wife. The law isexecrable, contrary lo morality, Olid in ODnnsilifin tn lha 'AiuinA tnu,'' "And you would substitute for it murder simply?" "Yes." "And you think that this man, who returned to his work after having constituted himself at one and the same time judge and executioner, obeyed the divine law ?" "I have the most profound conviction of it." Thaudmt then said: "We cannot tolerate that one should sustain such theories in the sanc tuaries of justice. You are, sir, one of the most distinguished writers of your time, but the more considerable the influence of your latent is over votir con temporaries, the more We deplore that you should make use of it." Dumas thereup on expiuineo : "it is necessary to regenerate the family by assassination ; that is my conviction." The Court ordered him to sit down. The defense was the usual one of lunacy, and the prisoner was sen-lenced lo five years hard labor in a ltina-tio asylum, Tho European monarchs are generally fond of horses, and good ones too.
