seizing an opportunity, a. wisdom IN act and
a brevity of speech, such as have rarely
been exhibited on that floor. The passage
of the Homestead bill under Mr.. Crows
leadership would of itself have suficed to
confer honorable distinction: single mis-
taken molten, moments hesitation. would
have enabled its adversaries to interpose
debate and delay, and thus have endangered
its passage, if not ensured its defeat. So
the Senste's attempt to force the House to
raise the Rates OF Postage was met by Mr..
Grow in a manner and spirit that at once
decided the contes,-decided it in such a
way that, should an Extra Session be re-
quired, the responsibility will clearly rest
on Toombs, Mason, and Pearce-all Ad-
min:stration men-who, on point OF mere
will, insisted on defeating the Post Office
Appropriation bill and thus subjecting the
public service TO serious embarrassment
We rejoice that Mr.. Grow is member oi
the next House, where Pennsylvania will
make quite another figure than in the last
especially at its close.

And here, in closing, let us pey tribute

seem invidious to specify; but we feel that
no true Republican will dispute the justice
Of our award TO Senator Wade, of Ohio
and Mr.. Grow, of Pennsylvania, of The
highest honors. Mr. Wade has hitherto
evinced an inuepidity, an energy and de.

in our judgment, in his efforts for the
Homestead bill, for the Agricultural Col.
