Ve have entered upon the fourth week of the geovnd month of the session, and what has done? Nothing of any consequence, We ve had a good supply of buncombe speeches resolutions in both houses and a budget of bills introduced which may be counted by hundred; but nothing has been settled ipon the great leading practical questions of e day. Two or three general amnesty bills been passed by the House, but they in the Senate. From that solemn and d body we have secured another Cus- House investigation and the usual It, a disclosure of numerons and very in- teresting Custom House frauds; and we have ® promise from Senator Sherman of a com- \prebensive bill of reforms, and we have had ‘two or three . exhaustive and exhausting peeehes from Mr. Sumuer on the equal rights f our colored brethren with ‘‘white folks” in hotels, railway cara, steamboats, theatres ‘and public schools. Furthermore, we have ‘had some appropriations passed to carry into @ffect the provisions of the Treaty of Wash- Angton, &o. ; but still the question recurs, upon the subject of the lightening of our heavy burden of national taxes, What is the pros- pect? And still we must answer, the prospect de very poor. ; The President, in his annual Message, gave ‘ery good reasons for his recommendation of general reduction of our internal and tariff taxes, including the abolition of the obnoxious ‘and superfluous income tax and all the rest of our internal assessments, except those upon #prituous and fermented liquors, and upon fobaceo in all the forms in which it is manu- factured or prepared for the market, and excepting stamps. Upon these propositions pf relief to the country, however, there is hardly a chance of any bill of any general walue from this session of Congress. Upon the tariff question the protectionists insist that the most acceptable relief which can be given to the great body of the people is the abolition of the duties upon tea and coffee, Decause the free introduction of these articles will not interfere with any of our bome pro- uctions, and because tea and coffee have become with all our people articles of universal Necessity. . The free traders or revenue re- formers, on the other hand, iosist that the tax upon tea and coffee must be retained, if not. enlarged, for the very reason that this tax does not afford any incidental protection to home. industry, and that the duties upon foreign iron must be taken off because they operate as a bounty to the iron makers of Pennsylvania, Such difficulties fs these between protectionists and free traders, we fear, will defeat aven the moderate compro- mise tariff bill introduced in the Senate by Mr. Sherman, Equally difficult, we apprehend, will be any attempt to abolish the income tax. The mem- bers of Congress from the West and the Sou:h generally represent constitueacies that do not pay much in the way of income taxes, and, of course, they are opposed to the repeal of this tax, or are, at least, rather inclined to keep it up than to abolish it, because it comes mainly out of the pockets of the ‘bloated capitalists, stockjobbers, speculators, monopolists and pondbolders of the East.” We presume that in order to enter actively into the Presidential cam- paign the republican members of the two houses will close this session of Congress on or soon afver the 5th of June, the day of the meeting of the Republican National Convention at Philadelphia, One powerful reason for this comparatively early adjournment of the long session, should these hitches and cross-pur- poses continue, will be the game of postponing any definite action upon internal aod external tax reductions till after the Presidential elec- tion, Assuming, however, that the two houses -of Congress will remain in session until the adjournment of the Philadelphia Convention, it is possible that, with the renomination of General Grant, the republican factionists in Congress may be harmonized upon some bill or bills covering the tax reductions suggested dy the President. But it is apparent that until this issue between the Grant and anti-Grant men is settled we can expect little or nothing but gas blowing and fiddling and tinkering from Congress. his Humpty Dumpty on the Woolsack. They have a terrible p-rsonage in England £alled the Lord Chamberlain, whose province it is to keep an eye on the stage and rigidly exclude from it aught that offends him or his friends, He isa very moral man, and there- fore shows no mercy towards French plays in any shape or form, although, sirange to say, ‘be does not mind the positive indecencies of modern burlesque. But he basa perfect ab- hhorrehce of caricature or witticisms, and, ac- ‘cording to the statement of our correspondent, His Dramatic Highness made a raid on the Christmas pantomimes at the London theatres, somewhat similar in its absurdity to the fa- mous charge of our Don Quixote Burke De Borgh on the pigeon fowlers. Hearing that the. names of Gladstone and Lowe, those mighty statesmen of England, were to be de- based for the vile purposes of puns and witty allusions, the Lord Chamberlain issued a proc- lamation to the trembling managers that neither clown nor pantaloon, low comedian nor short-skirted blonde should dare use those haliowed names as a medium for disloyal jokes or treasonable witticisms. Hence poli- tics were placed ont of the reach of clown and harlequin, and Gladstone rejoiced that he had saved the nation once more from the deadly peril of bad puns and nursery rhymes, If anything should occur to remove the Lord Chamberlain from his present sphere of use- fulness we respectfully nominate the American Don Quixote for the positionas one eminently qualified for its ridiculous dutie: Coot ror THE S£ason.—The Washington » Chronicle says the people are not disposed to sttach much importance to the Custom House frauds in New York. Why make such a fuss about the matter, then? there be firsta falling away.” A couple of weeks ago we noted the ‘“‘falling away” of Mr. Hepworth from the negations of Unitarian- ism and his falling into the way of the positive faith of the Evangelical Church. We have to-day to record the final step—a short one—of a lesser light of the Episcopal Church into the fold of the Roman Catholic Church, The Rev. Joshua D. Bradley, pastor of the “Oratory of St. Sacrament,” a ritualistic outgrowth of St. Albans, and himself an Oxford ‘‘High Church” man, yesterday bade farewell to his flock and to the Anglican Churcb, and made his obeisance to the Roman. Some years ago an Anglican Church minister tendered himself to the late Cardinal Wiseman as a convert to the Catholic faith, when the shrewd prelate responded that he wanted the sheep as well as the shepherd. Whether Mr. Bradley's sheep know his voice and can trust him sufficiently to leave their own pasture and follow him remains to be seen. For himself the dividing line between his faith and practice and that of the most ortho- dox Catholic priest in the city was so small a3 to be almost indiscernible. And if he has succeeded in educating his flock up to bis own standard their change from one church to another will be simply a change of name, The reasons which Mr, Bradley gives for taking this step appear to us rather ailly and peevish. He does not like the bishops of his Church because ‘‘they truckle to public opin- fon and are slaves rather than the lords of their wealthy clergy and influential laity.” They don’t measure up at all to his ideal of a Catholic bishop. He is not satisfied with “‘the state of schism” which prevails in the Anglican Church and her suspended com- muoion with the Greek and Roman Churches, The denial, virtually, of the ‘‘real presence” in the eucharist by the recent Episcopal Gon- vention which sat in Baltimore fs another cause of discontent with this good man. Nor did they in their opening communion services at that convention show by their acts or man- ner that they believed they were actually feed- ing on the body of Christ. The Bishop's de- nial of the regenerative influences of water baptism is too much for any Anglican- Catholic priest to accept without a protest, and the reverend brother is justly indignant with his’ superiors in the Church, who were not content with denying that Christ was and is actually and bodily in the bread and wine, and that sins of the soul are washed away by water on the body, but who also went so far as to forbid, in gentle terms, of course, what is known among ritualists as “tencbaristical adoration.” The pastoral letter of the House of Bishops is, in the language of the disgusted priest, a mis- erable heretical pronouncement, ‘‘and chiefly 80 because it denies emphatically the inter- cessory influences of the Virgin Mary and the Saints,” and considers a belief in the same “an indignity to One only Mediator and Inter- cessor which the authors, His apostolic: wit- nesses,” could not countenance, and distinctly forbade. But. the straw which broke the camel’s back is the frateraization of bish- ops and priest#’ of the Episcopal Church with Presbyterian and Unitarian and Methodist and Baptist ‘‘heretics,” and the very much disgusted Joshua D. Bradley leaves a church which is too democratic to suit his Oxford notions to enter one which is too aristocratic theoretically to bold commu- nion with Protestant heretics. Ws hope the reverend gentleman will soon feel himself at home and will enjoy the change, Our Eastern Question is taking a decidedly Japanese leaning. A new treaty will doubtless be the result of the present* Embassy's visit to this country. The chance to revive our commerce in the Chinese waters is a good one, and it-should be improved. It isa sign of advancing civilization with the government of Japan that it purposes sub- mitting the forcible annexation of the island of Saghalien by Russia to international diplomatic arbitration, It is to be hoped that their proffered mediation with the Coreans will do much to restore us to a friendly inter- course with them and their nominal masters, the Chinese. Have Lost the Republican National Con- vention, the Cincinnati papers are now court- ing the Democratic Executive Committee for the honor of accommodating the National Convention of that party. Between Cincinnati and Gallipolis the committee cannot remain long in doubt which to choose, So far as Philadelphia and the Republican Convention is concerned, the Brotherly Lovers had better ‘| take care, or the smallpox may frighten away the delegates, and the Convention of June 5 never be held in their city. Tne Liperat Mormons unite with the Gentiles in denouncing the proposed erection of Utah into a State. No more grievous blunder could certainly be made at the present time ; for, as every one in Utah understands, it would hand the Territory over body and soul to the theocratic absolutism represented by the three unscrupulous fanatics Young, Smith and Wells.

In their report, after recapitulating the number of indictments found, they express their sense of the EFFICIENT AND VALUABLE SERVICES of Mr. R. N.

They also mention with praise the name of Mr. High, Deputy United States Attorney, whose services, notwithstanding Mr. Bates’ probiti- tion to do anything, were uf great ald to the Grand Jury. Mr. Bates’ name was not mentioned in the report, out of pure deitcacy, although the feeling of the jury, a3 privately cxpressed, is unanimously against him. ARREST OF A DANITE. A Mormon policeman, Alexander Burt, once dis- charged for want of evidence, has been to-day ar. rested on an indictment found on Friday by the Grand Jury for participating inthe murder of Dr. Robinson.

A large meeting was held to-night at the Liveral Institute of opponents of Mormon policy to bring Utan in as @ State. The large building was densely crowded, The most promi- nent of the leaders of the new movement or emancipated Mormons made strong and telling speeches against the scheme. Among the speakers were Messrs.

THE GRAND BASHAW OF FIVE TAILS, Future Movements of the Im- perial Party. Kir Carson, Col., Jan. 21, 1872. Almost the chief event of Duke Alexia’ tour of the American Continent has transpired out here on the broad plains of Colorado, in the neighborhood of Kit Carson, during the last two days. In this brief tnterval the imperial visitor has indulged in all the hardships, excitements and pleasing rewards of a daring frontier life, and as an amateur buffalo hunter he has distinguished himself iu such a man- her as toexcite the admiration and WONDER OF THE PIONEER HUNT3MEN of the whole buffalo country. The exciting hunt on the Nebraska plains in the early part of the week dwindles into insignificaace compared with the chases, uncertainties and final triumphs of this last campaign, No preparations were made until yesterday, and the whole event was of an impromptu nature, While in Denver the idea was conceived of a brief cruise into the buffalo grounds in the nelghvorhooa of Kit Carson; but the matter of obtaining suMicient horses and transportation facilities for the party was a serious one. General Sheridan hesitated, considered, and finally held a oonsultatton with Su- pertntent Bowen, of the Kansas Pacific road. “Fort Wallace,’ said Sheridan, “is seventy miles from Kit Carson. I have got plenty of horges there; and now you get thgn up to Carson by daylight, Saturday morning.” Bowen hesitated a moment and then said :— “All right; the horses will be there, and you have the Duke on hand, and we will give bim 4 BUFFALO HUNT THAT HE WON'T SOON FORGET.” Orders were at once telegraphed, and the result was that upon the arrival here of the ducal party everything was in readiness. The choicest buflalo horses were selected, and, to use a Western phrase, the whole outtit was “Almighty elegant.” The grounds where the noble buffalo was to be found, in all his national element, were fome half a dozen miles distant from the railroad. Some of the party went out in the saddle, and others, less anxious to rough 16, took seats in a comfortable ambulance. ‘THE DUKE SCOUTED A VEHICLE, and so did General Custer and Counsellor Bodisco and Mr. Thompson, the transportation manager. General Sheridan, however, indulged in the luxury of an ambulance, and nad for his companions Gen- eral Sweitzer, Colonel Sheridan and Dr. Asch. Ex- pertenced scouts who were in advance had inter- cepted the party within half an hour after leaving the cars and reported the presence of A SMALL BUFFALO HERD in the immediate vicinity. Atthis time the mounted hunters and those in ambulances were widely sep- arated, and it was decided to wait until the latter came up before Precipitating the at- tuck. A junction of forces having been formed, General Sheridan suggested that only Alexis and General Custer should join in the hunt at this time, , but that after the Duke had broughc aown his game the onslaught was vo be universal. All agreed to this proposition, and THE RUSSIAN NAVAL LIEUTENANT and the dashing and daring American army oficer started. The approach to the hera was very favor- able. The animals were grazing lazily in a sort of a valley, and the cautious nuntsmen were almost upon them before they were discovered. Of course the natural instinct of the beast to run upon the ap- proach of humanity was indulged in, but the Duke and General Custer put spurs to their animals, and followed in hot pursutt, ‘The horses were accustomed to tne chase and seemed inspired with as much enthusiasm as their riders. They fairly flew through the air, and at length it ‘Was transparent that both the Duke and the expe- rienced General had Jost all control of the animals, “CAN'T HOLD MY HORSB,” sald Alexis, asthe excited animal galloped across the plains, “Nor I,” responded Custer, at the top of itis voice, “but they are going in the right direction and we had better stick to the saddles and let them run until they are tired of it.” The race lasted for a mile or more, when the herd of buffaloes as weil as tne horses began to give up. ‘The Duke gazed with admiration upon a huge and sprightly bail which mingiéd in the herd, and, as soon as he came within range, he opened fire with his revolver, and followed it up with the skill and rapidity of a veteran huntsman. LITTLE PHIL GORS IN. General.Sheridan, who had intended to remain tn the rear as a spectator, could not resist the tempta- tions of the exciting sport, and he at once headed his horse for the ducal party and soon became an interested participator. 1t was now the real, lively sport commenced. The trio, far away from the Jurisdicsion of THE TENDER-HEARTED BERGH, poured @ shower of bullets into the ranks and flanks of the noble and inoffensive buffalo. The experiences were becoming unusually exciting for even such veteran sportsmen as Sheridan and Cus- ter, Unlike the siuggard animals of the Nebraska plains, these were disposed to make a desperate effort for escape. They were fieet-footed, and dashed across the level territory at a speed WORTHY OF AN BXPRESS LOCOMOTIVE, dozen barrels, ‘This seemed onty vo enrage the oc | fellow; he dia not appear to be injured in the slightest, but ne evidently cherished an ill feeling toward the distinguished Rusman, He fooked him fall in the face, pawed the earth for a moment and then made 4 FURIOUS CHARGE FOR HIS IMPEIAL HIGHNESS. Alexis now had an opportunity to distinguish himself, and he improved 1s. His supertor norse- Mauship was for once in his life very useful, and barely saved him from a fate which an amateur of Ordinary skill would have been likely to have sul- fered. The wounded bumulo, finding that he could not harm his antagonist, resumed his hasty retreat, apd was as closely pursued by the Russian sport, He put the spurs to his horse most vigorously, anc when he had come again within range drew his revolver, but in the midst of naste and excitement HT SLIPPED FROM HIS GRASP and fell to the ground. No time was to be lost to recover the weapon, and General Sheridan, having Wwitnesed the accident, rode up alongside the Duke and passed him his, and it was then but a moment before the ponderous masculine member of the buf- faio creation wa® brought down. Almost his first shot pierced the heart of the animal, and, with an impuortug look, he YIKLDRD UP THE GHOST. Those who had witnessed the whole exciting acene were now wild with excitement and enthusiasm, and gave vent to their feelings with loud and re- peated cheers, ‘Ihe Duke htmself was especally de- lughted with his triumph, and induiged in many an exclamation of jov. Tn head of the slaughtered animal was decapitated: and will be preserved and taken to Russia as one of the TROPHIES OF THE COLORADO PLAINS. Daring the successful pursutt and fight of the Duke with the particular beast which he had selecved the other members of the party charged upon the balance of the herd and succeeded in slaying a dozen or more. While surveying the’ scene of blood and triumph one of the guides rode'up and reported a large herd of buffalo aome two miles distant, and a lorward movemen:’ was at once made. On the way a couple of large bulis were found isolated from the others, and the Duke and General Custer went for one of them and the balance of the party for the other, THE IMPERIAL BLOOD WA8 NOW WELL UP, na after a brief and lively gallop Alexis was within pistol shot of the fated animal, and, with a few well directed shots; he was soon despatched. Further aiong the large herd reported was over- taken. The unsuspecting brutes were grazing quietly under a hill, and the eminence was go fa- vorable as to allow the party to get almost upon them without discovery or alarm. The Duke and General Custer took the lead, and were followed closely by the rest. As soon as the leaders chargcd the herd scattered, but the huntsmen followed in hot pursuit, and the chase became at once lively and : EXCITING BEYOND DESCRIPTION. The horse of the Duke's orderly stumbled Into one | of the numerous burrows of the prairie dogs, and both the animal and the rider were thrown. It was first thought that the orderly was killed, but upon examination it was found that he was only RENDERED MOMENTARILY INSENSIBLR, and the chase was quickly resumed. For over two miles the Duke and the General pursucd the flying herd. As soon as the Duke reached the rear of the drove he sent a fatal bullet through the first buffalo that was within range of hits: pistol, and a moment or twe later despatched another that came tn his | way. The fleeing berd was fresh and the norses ex- hausted, and as It appeared useless to continue the pursuit the party RESTED AND LUNOHED FOR AN HOUR, and then prepared to return to the Kit Carson sta- | tion. On the way a single buffalo was observed and the whole party went for him. He saw that ne was being overtaken and turned st once upon his pur- suers, very singularly selecting the Grand Duke as the special object of his revenge. He eyed him with an anger and determination somewhat serious to behOid, and finally TURNED UPON ALBXIS AND OHARGED with a flerceness that showed he was battling for dear life, The Grand Duke and his experienced horse were equal to the emergency, and although | they dodged the imfuriatea animal every ‘time, the escapes were sufficiently narrow for even a “Bul- falo Bull” to boast of. Finatly General Custer came to the rescue, and, by diverting the attention of the enima), the Duke got a dozen or more BROADSIDE SHOTS INTO HIS CARCASS, and thea dismounted and finished his tenacious life with arifie. It was now getting late in the day, ‘The party had thelr fill of buffaio sports, and the journey in tho direction of the town was again re- sumed and pursued to the end without interrup- tion, Numerous herds were seen along the road, but none of them were molested. THE DUKE BROUGHT DOWN FIVE BUFFALOES altogether, and retained the tails of each as trophies of the day's sport, which caused Bodisco to wag- gistly remark that Alexis was not only a Grand Duke, but also A GRAND BASHAW OF PIVE TAILS. Others of the party who mingled if the nunt were More or less successful. Mr. Thompson brought down @ couple, and General Sheridan and Bodisco also ‘distinguished themsvives, and altogether the buifalo tribe of the Kit Carson plains numbers about forty less than it did before the invasion of the Ducal party. The antelope creation has also been somewhat reduced, The Duke expresses him- self highly pleased with his experience in buffalo hunting, and.he will not object to a repetition at the first opportuaity, The party will leave here to-day for Topeka, Kansas, Alexis Expecied In Kentucky. Louisvintg, Ky., Jan. 21, 1872, ‘The Grand Duke Alexis and party are expected tocome to Louisville and. the Mammoth Cave on their way South, the latter part of this week or the firat part of next, and arrangements are being made togive him a spiendid reception and the grandest ball at tue Galt House ever witnessed in this city.

In this morning's papers, the Zimes, Nationar Repudlican and the Bee, published in’ both the French and English languages, appeared the fol- lowing:— Whereas this violent and tllegal action ‘of sata. H. 0. Warmoth has so far intimidated and embat- rassed the General Assembly that a quorum of the House cannot be obtaimed, and the necessary re- the people have thus far beem structed and the public peace threatened and dis- turbed, and a republican form of government prac- tically and substantially destroyed; and Whereas there ts no solution of the dimculties nor aversion ot the dangers to the liberties by the usur- ation aud revolutionary violence of the said H. O. Varmoth, except in the assertion of the legislative department of the government, through tts proper officers, of its independence and rights, Therefore, in accordance with the consttution } and laws of the State of Louisiana and of the instructions of the House of Repre- sentatives, approvel by sixteen mempera of the Senate of said State, I, G@.

The question beiore our people 1s no.longer @ simple one of reform; pus @ graver issue ts presented by the revolutionary acts of the Governor, and that is whether they will quietly permit him to subvert the State govern- ment and destroy the independence of the legisia- tive department thereof by the most violent and revolutionary acts, The premises considered, we } earnestly invite the citizens, irrespective of race or | party, to organize and arm themseives as well as hey may be-able, and report in foree in the neigh- borhocd of 207 Canal street, where they will be provided with the necessary commissions and Sworn in a8 Assistant Sergeants-at-Arms, and thas with the jaw be prepared to protect their rights. 1 want a force so potent in numbers and 80 representative of the community as will preclude bloodshed and insure abstinence on the part of the | Executive from further interference with the Gene- ral Assembly.

POOR BERGH AND THE POOR PIGEONS. {From the Chicago Post, Jan. 19.) Mr. Henry Kergh’s recent crusade in behalf of the Pigeons (General Dix, by the way, aliudes,to the pigeon as a “‘domesticatea animal”) has done much harm and no good to the cause with which he hag Wentitied himself. He has laid nimself open to two | charges—first, of acting only in such cases as will | secure him gratuitous advertising; secona, of per- Tilting personal spites anit prejudices 0 goverm Dim in the execution of nis self-imposed duty. He would not arrest a pigeon shooter and thus test the legality of his position, but he would post a policeman on each Cy so that the bes ed shooters: could not proceed with their sport without killing larger game. * * And now all New York teems with epigrams directed against Bergh @nd the cause Ingeneral.
