Tre Yettow Exvetore Brsiness.—it is doubtful whether @ more decided feeling of un- easiness and solicitude was ever entertained by the inmates of @ public office than is now mani- fested by the employes of the internal revenue bureau over impending or apprehended changes therein. Whether weil or il! founded ecanrot of course be told, but tis feeling seems to be shared by subordinates of every grade, and it is not contined alone to those directly connected with vftice here, but extends to those engaged im its service throughout different parts of the coun- try, and is nearly as wide spread as though there had been a political change in the head of tha offiee. Indeed, there seems to be an impression or feeling that the changes will be even more bumerous and marked than those which follow- ed Mr. Delano’s accession ta the place of Com missioner on the inauguration of the present ad- ministration, but this assumption can hardiy be well feunded. It is more likely that Gen. Pleas. onton will move slowly and wisely in his new position, and make only such changes as are clearly required for the public good. Death of Perry Fuller. Col.

A correspondent of the St. Louis Tyemocrat, says, “the Senatorial con test is exciting much interest and the cand!- dates are busily working. The prominent can- didates are J. H.

A tew minutes past tene’clock, Jndge Bing- bai, chairman of the committee, took bis seat at the bead of the table and held a consultation with Mrs. Hooker, whe announced that Mrs Woeodbuil would open the argument, Mr. Kid- | , «ile would follow, and she (Mr. Hooker) would close. To this the commiltee assented, and Mrs. Woodhull arose, removed her Alpine bat, and proceeded to speak her piece, but was in- werrupted by the manager, Mrs. Hooker, before she had proceeded tar, und requested to read her essay on “ Constitutional Equality,” date New York ary 2, Incl, and addressed to the committee. REMARKS OF THE FRMALE CANDIDATE FOR THE NEXT PRESIDENCY. Mrs. Woodhull accepted ihe Pa npey and proceeded to read a paper which she had pr: pared. Her voice was very clear, and she dul hot appear to be embarrassed in’ the least, but read With emphasis certain passages which ste desired the Committee to pay purticalar atten- tion to. She contended that the Constitution of the United States made woman @ citizen, with the right to vote; and deswed to know by what ethics any free government imposestares on nen without giving them a vice ject or a partic nin the public tion as to how, whom, these taxes 5: be applied f common pablie Isbury moved a further amendment, nd provided further, That Benjamin F- Curtis, Miltard Fillmore, and General W.

His epinion was that, whether for weal or woe, the mar destiny of this country was the acquisition ot more territory. and no men, or tet of men, could prevent it. He then spoke of the fertility and the salabrity of Dominica, and gave his opinion that ihe report of the .@ COMMSS sion would be favorable, and as there people were desiroug of annexation we should take them in. He then reviewed the existing state of af- fairs in Dominica, and expréssed doubts as to the existence ot @ man as Cabral, there Was toe much froth and fray about him. Mr. Morton would ask permission of the Sen- ator to say that he was satistied there was such 8 person as Cabral. Cabral bad sought an tn- interview with the United States reprosenta tive at Mayti, and had informed him that he was in (aver of annexation, and bisonly reason for opposing it m its present shape was that Baex ould be Governor and would oppress him and *: " t - adherents, Wome “ © mstit i “ os or betes Pe Mr. Stewart continned to argue that we Cub tin ment vol” tee should give these poor people the benemt and society, they bear, Tear, and cduecte men, | Protection of our equal laws; and took issue with the theory that the extension of oar territorial mits woaid be an clement of weakness.
