It was ious for us to permit ourselves te be treat- ed hike slaves who earned their salaries from our masters. Te chief aim of those who at their pleasure dispo-od of the éestiny of the country, was to enrich themselves at the expense of the working people. We saw beggars of yestervay to day erecting palaces, baying couatry nouses, rieing in carriages, and insulting the people without the Jeust sign of sbame; we saw bankrupt debtors acquiring ‘within & short time, at the sxpense of tho national treasu- , suicient riches to live with luxury and splendor in great Ruropean capitals; we saw foreigners who ar- rived in Venezuela as artizans without work, amassing without labor and with the sweat of the Venezuelaus, co- Jorsal tortunes by which they were enabied to compete in luxury and with the richest people in the world. ‘The republic suffered all this, And for what reason’ because 0/ the division of parties which looked on each other with contempt and dustrust—division of which by a singular concurrence of circumstances those who without any legitimate tite governed the country, have been able to profit. The bond of common misfortune was wanted ia order that parties giving up their mutual grievances might come to an understanding and make a compact for regene- ration and liberty. Those once united, public opinion which this time was the true sovereign was roused. After sach a happy event the triumph of liberty was certain. Who will be powerful enough, we said |, © resist a whole people, if this le have the will to make themselves ‘obeyed? Who will dare to cry “(Quos ego!” to a people enraged and resolyed to make themselves res pected’ With a single breath they will throw down the tyrants who may pretend to impose themeelves on the genertl will; with a single breath they can destroy the firmest thrones and overturn the in- solent, who live on the sweat of their fellow men. And thus it happened; it was enough for the people to speak in order that the usurpers fell down; the fiat of the nation was sufficient to give, as by enchantine at, birth to liberty in_a place where tyranny reigned suprome. What renders the actual revolutica still more beautiful is that it cost so little to the country. It mattars Itttle that some thousands of dollars have been lost, provided the Dood of the Venezuelan peopls was not spilled as in cthor times. The moderation of our ia, in fact, wonder- ful. Om the day General withdrew from power, the capital remained witLout a government, for the provisional government, composed in haste, waa ecarcely able to organise itself and take the necessary measures of ee security and order; yet, notwithstanding all this, e best order reigued in the city.

Therefrom it follows that if sometimes they have committed excesses, they must be imputed to those who endeavored to cor- rupt them. Who resisted the lessons of immorality which for a long time bad been given to them.

SEIZURE OF OBSCENE BOOKS, PLATES, BIO.—ARAEST OF THE ALLEGED PUBLIAGES. During the early part of last montn (eneral Super” \ntendeat Tallmadge received several letters from the in terior of tho Btato, relative to the existence ofa firm in this city named Gillon & Co., publishers of obscene works, at 83 Naraan street. This concern, it appears, issued clr- culars containing obsceno plates, and catalogue: of books of the mort demoralizing description, and addressed them to people in all parts of the Btate, with the hope of finding customers. A gentleman in Steuben county represented that the villages for miles around were flooded with vile traeh emanating from the above pamed firm, and that the evil arising therefrom such as to domand the imme- @ale sléention of thejauthorities to this city. Mr, Tail- madge determined to break up the establichment at once, and accordingly placed the matter in the hands of dotec ve policeman Shangle. The detective w No. | Si Nassau street, out was unable to find the firm of | Gillen & Co, The name of “Gillen & Co '' was ansumed so as to prevent detection, but the officer to aacer | tein who the real publishers were He fvund out thata man named Thos. Ormsby answered for the firm of Gillen & o., and that be was the pubileher of the circulars, plates and books referred to. In order, however, to be sure of the fact, Sbangle concocted a achemo to draw Ormsby into the net, which worked admirably. The officer played the | part of a country merchant stopping atone of the down town hotels, and with the view of entrapping the publisher | wrote the latter the following note — Merncnaxts’ Hore April 10, 18%. | | Mesars, Gituen & Co Thy eof yout ciren: of? amber of 4) and pilates. berg | ba dhe cy Ttbought 1 you's send m: up And have you fend me & book Ol rach kind your French works by Ue | bearer by 5 o'clock this xtiernogn.

The boy delivered thus moe: wo Shangle, whan the latter started for the poblisner’s oo, and on arriving there found Ormeby still Poading the letter. The vtliver took Ormsby into custody, when the latter declared that he was not “Mr, Gillen; that that gentleman was out, and would not be likely to return very soon.’ In reoly to this the officer referred to the fact of the prisoner's having opened @ letter directed to “Gillen & Co.,” ant arguet that Ormeby was a fit representative af the firm, ina moeh as he the responsibility of opening their leiters ‘and transacting their business.

W. Dennison, the United States Agent of the Pawnees. In view of the fact that the locotion of these Indians is directly on the California and Utah trail, being situated on the plains of Nebraska Territory, near Platte river, to tho number of 4,000, and from the con tinued depredations for many years upen emigrauis to Utah and California, and more especially from the presoat aspect of the Mormon war, it became necessary for the general government to enter into some understanding with them immediately. It is well knewn that tho Mormons had already made advances to them when Major Dennison was sent out, about fourteen months since. The government had endeavored for many years © enter into treaty stipulations with them, but they would not consent. They had s novel idea, from the extensive emigration from Fast to West through their country, that all the people of the Atlantic States were emigrating to the Pacific, and that they would soon be enabled to come here and take pos- session of their old bunting grounds to be abandoned by the white man. When they were told that the grout fa- ther, the President, could bring troops to bear upon them and exterminate them at apy time, they laughed at the ides, supporing tbat ail the government troops were sta- tloned in thetr territory, and believing that they could do them no harm, or that if they saw fit they could wipe tho troops out altegether. To disabuse their minds of this im- pression they were invited to send a delegation to visit the United States, The dologation has spent some threo months in Washington, to receive the ratification of the treaty, by the terms of which the Pawnces are bound to support the government, and in return for a ceasion of « tract of land of about twelve millions of acres—reserving twenty-four thousand acres for themselves—they are to receive the sum of $40,000 per annum, or ten dollars for each mam, woman and chiki im the nation. Petanasharo is the grand chief of the nation, and is a fine specimen of @ man. The others, as stated, are the heads of their respective bands, ard those accompanying them are the principal braves of (heir bands. The sation altogether can muster about one thousand warriors, of whom this selection is probably a fair epectmen. Among thom is Lalonasharo- casa,or the man that kills the enemy in the water, a brave of the Tappahs. He was one of the party sent out ‘With Col, Sumner’s expedition against the Shians, and with his own hand took three Shian scalps, which troplies he now carries with bim as emblems of his prowess. Leita- ‘anasharo, the chief of the Loups, is @ fine specimen of # man, intellectually and physically, and is regarded as one of the most promising in thenation. When the party, of which Lalonasharocasa was one, had guided Col, Sumuner’s party through tbe Territories in the expedition the Shians, they dosirod to return totheir » and wore presented by the command with five horace loaded with presents. On their return, however. were cut off by # party of Shians aud lost all their pre sents, escaping barely with their Itves. In consideration of this the government by this treaty gives them five horses extra, to make their joss.

The managers pledge thomselves to reimburse any party whose clothing has been lost or stolen. Tho sceneon going ho ne{was ridiculous”beyond deacrip- thon. Vory few of the ladies, with the exception of shose who came simply as spectators, were able to obtain any of the overgarments they had brought with them, and the efforts to replace these or procure substitutes pat inge- nuity to the proof, and tested the gatiantry of the gentie- ‘men in an astonishing manner. Fairylike forms were buried in huge overcoa'ta and masculine shawls, and bright eyes giaaced out roguishty from heavy capa@hats and muttlors, and doubtless paid without grumbling the forfeit always incurred by pretty girls who don that part of male attire. Some of the more benevolent ones, indeed, insiste1 on relinquishing part of their wrappings, which were ‘quite large enough for two,” and their caveliers, nothing loth, drew the stout raglan or warm “Bay State’ close over two palpitating hearts instead of one. Petticoats—not Balmorals—wero put to entirely different uses from what they were originaily intended, and their owners retired from the econe of festivity in a condition comfortable, perhaps, as could be expected under the circumstances, but neither picturesque por gracetul. ‘Tho mass of clothing left behind was of the most hetero- genious character, It may have comprised every- thing that ladies require t make them beautiful or eave them neat, but certanty did not look as it it could ever have acoom- plished that desirable purpose. There were shaw of ail descriptions, from the “rough bat kindly’? woollen plaid to the “stella” im atl its varieties.

Should tho committee fulfil! ther benevolent intentions, and reimburse the owners at frst cost, the charities of the Charity Ball will be far more widely ex tended than was originally expected. The pile of head gear was not the loast curious feature of the assemblage. Among the varieties were veils of all kinds, biack, brown and grsen, but zeverally of the usefulorder, and not coming withiy the category of the Pretty ccquettish “falls,” with round corners, which add so much to the artillery of bright eyes oa Broadway. Besides these there were bonnew—bon- nots of velvet and bonnets of straw, with mashed feathers. flowers and ribbons and headlinings soiled with Macasvar to such an extent as to leave no doubt that they belonged to last year’s ‘‘stylew.’’ There were also plenty of old fasbioned quilted hoods, such as country girls wear to go sleighriaing and picnicing, as well as the more fashionable “rigolettes,” im red, blue and white, sprinkled all over with fancy little taasela. But the moat fob oll were the long netted scarfs, of flae wool, which young ladies twist round their dear little heads in such & captivating manner, and which have such a thrill. tng effect upon susceptible young men. ixed up with barkets and little fancy reticules were quantities of French chalk, rouge and common whiting, with pieces of dirty stockings, the frizzy side wurned oat, for putting it on.

The parcels were then all packed in trunks, and some flvecart loads were deposited at the cffice of the commities. Several were here deputived to arrange and fort the things, and by Friday night the parcels wore got in some sort of order. It was found that—fortonately for the owners—the origi pal packages were, most of them, not disturbed, but were pinned op in the shawls and circulars left by we far wearers.
