Judge Kelley, Of Philadelphia, present
ed this morning in the House a petition Of
the leading and influential German citi-
EsEs Of Philadelphia, praying Congress to
take hold Of the question of rscOnstruo-
tion, and this in such a way that ell evils
and dangers above referred to may be
avoided and in their stead the following
objects may be obtained: The abolition Of
slavery forever and confirming full rights
Of citizens upon free negroes 80 that they
may not only as voters but ss militamen
be supporters Of better order Of things !;
avoidance of landed sristocrscy by includ-
ing constitutional and under the Home
stead Bill giving small parcels Of land
to new settlers as far IS
they are not to be given to Union soldiers,
negroes, and poor whites Of the South for
cultivation, free education for negroes and
uneducated white people; arrangements
which viii make rebels practically harm

seceedsd States has been secured. These
conclusions are preceded by clear and
able arrangement Of the Presidents Am

Friday MORNING, MAR. IS, Is04
ReeruItins In KeutuokY---An InterestinE
Statement.

The Cineinnst GaEstte has q Kentucky
letter showing that slavery and rebellion
run together in that State ss elsewhere,
and that the slavehOldirg localities, what
ever they have done toward filling the
ranks Of the rebel armies, have done very
little for those Of the Union. Here is 6
sample Of his analysis:
stake the ten largest slaVeholding
counties and the ten counties which have
the smallest number Of slsves and see how
many men each class has furnished the
Union srmies. The large slaveholding
counties have furnished % per cent. Of
their enrolled militia, while the ten coun-
ties with the fswest slaves have furnished
e5 per cent Of their enrolled militia. In
The former there sre So, ,519 slsVes-sbout
q per cent Of the whole number in the
State. In the latter there are !, ,076 slaves.
The former, out Of g voting population Of
$1,000, have furnished 1886 soldiers; the
lAttsr out Of voting population Of 7,479,
have furnished S,60S soldier to the Union
Army.
Again: take the counties Of Fayette
and Pulaski, which have sboat tae same
numbsF Of voters. Fsyette has 9,849
Blsves and hss sent to the field $50 men
Pulaski has l,26l slaves, and has sent to
the Geld ], ,282 men. But there is this diff
ference 70 be netiosd also: Of the $50 men
fron Fsyette, 100 Of them enlisted ss Off
GERS, and the privates, almost to q man, are
from the non-slaveholding portion Of Lex
iagion, and one precinct in the county, in
Whish was q large cotton factory, the hands
Of which were hon-slaVeholegs."

WAsHIEGToN, March "a
The House Committee on the Judiciary
was yesterday discharged from the further
consideration Of the memorials asking for
the impeachment Of Judge Miller, Of the
District Of Wisconsin mot Of Iowa, as has
been erroneously stately, there being no.
thing against him to justify such . pro-
ceeding.
An order will soon be issued consolidat-
ing the lst and 3rd army corps which are
to be attached to the 9th, under General
Sedgwiek.
Lieutenant General Grant and staff ar
rived at headquarters to-day. He has or
dered the army to prepare for inspection.
He was received with much enthusiasm.
General Hancock has returned to the
army IN good health, and will assume COM
mand Of his corps.
During his visit North he obtained q
large number of men. The strength OF
his corps is not surpassed by more than
one in the army.
The application to Congress to extend
the Goodyear's Vulcanized patents, was
yesterday before the House Committee on
patents, who agreed to hear oral srgu-
ments In the case on the seventh Of
April. Remonstrances against the exten-
sion will be received without limitation
as to time.
The House hiss made but few amend
ments to the National Bank bill, only
about one-tenth of which have been con-
sidered. That part providing for the re-
compensation Of Comptroller Of the
currency, by the Secretary Of the TEesspgEZ.

N,o.s,Itv for Personai RoOnomy.


Therefore, hold that those who recon-
mend personal economy at this juncture
as q solemn duty are right, and ought to
be listened to. 1 do not mean TO say, BY
any means, that it is the duty Of every
body to wear rags and live on bread and
water. A sober and rational refinement
in style Of living on the part Of the rich,
q sober and rational devotion 70 literature
and the fine arts, to personal grace and
sdornment and the duties Of hospitality,
are desirable, and even necessary, whether
in peace or war; because, II these things
are disFegarded, civilization itself begins
to suffer. But they ara luxuries, and as
long ss $500, 100000 3 year are being
spent in war, and one million Of men are
withdrawn from industrial pursuits FOL
the army, we not emily cannot afford more
luxuries than before, but ought to content
ourselves with less. We ought TO retrenchi
Just as an individual would retrench who
was engaged in 8 costly lawsuit and
found himself compelled to spend large
portion Of his income every year and bor-
row largely Of his friends to carry 1t on. We
owe it to posterity, whom we are IaddlinG
with an enormous debt; we owe 1t to the
thousands Of women and poor persons
whose little all is being invested in gov.
ernment funds, and We owe it to our char
aoter, to do each Of us what We can to add
to the national capital, by saving on per
sonaI consumption. Let everybody re.
memember that what he eats, drinks, and
wears, and puts into diamonds, is "loeked
up;" what he saves and puts into bank, OF
buys stock with, finds its way into indus
trial enterprises, is used in employing pro
ductive labor, and increasing the internal
wealth and consequently the revenue ei
the government. There is, 10 me, some
thing exceedingly repulsive in the ct.
tempts that people make to persuade them
selves and others that the war is enrich
ing the country, and that we may there
fore eat, drink, and be merry. Nobody II
more satisfied Of its justice and necessity
than am, but am so satisfied Of them
that cannot help protesting against the
notion that it has not only to appear just
and necessary, but has to appear to pay
in erder to secure popular suPPOrt.-M T.

The Toronto Globe Of the sIh inst. re-
minds Its readers that = year age Nj
Miohal Murphy, the President Of the HI

BY the expression Of some very disIoysI
sentiments on st. Pstrick's Day. This
year, also, the celebration was made ~
occasion Of similar utterances, net emily By
Mr.. Michel Murphy, but By other speakers,
On this occasion Mr.. Murphy not only ~
tempted to justify his dislOyalty By record
ing his belief that Ireland is not fairly
treated, but went out Of the way to msko
8 course attack upon the memory Of HAlbsEi

"Let the Murphyits patriots have full
license Of speech, and you are sErs hat
they will be pretty harmless Their inAu-
encs will be lessened ct once, and IN Tine
may vanish altogether. Indeed, It ID nOt
impossible that Mr.. Murphy may In tine
come to see the error Of his way" 20

Meade directed General Hancock to pro-

Ths sonth nd i. RuIInr cln,..

Nobody who resds the speech Of Cover
nor Vance, Of North Carolina, which we
published on Saturday, can help seeing
that whatever the feeling Of the people at
the South may be, the leaders are bitterly
and terribly in earnest. He makes much
Of the desire Of his audience either to re-
turn to the Union or remain neutral. He
admits that they are In q bad scrspe, but
asks them jeeringly how they are going to
get out Of it. BE assures them that the
provisions Of the Confederate Constitution
permitting secession, on which some of
them propose to rely, Is delusion and g
snare; that the Confederate Government
would certainly permit their withdrawal,
but only in order that their assumption Of
Foreign Power mightsuthorize their be-
ing attacked and cut to pieces. He tells
them that come what will there can be no
peace for them until the whole Confedera-
cy is either victorious or Vsnquished, and
that their complaints, either Of the war or
Of the Confederate Government are but
IS the idle winds; that willing or not
willing, their blood and money must be
forthcoming IS long ss Jefferson Davis is
pleased TO call for them.
We have little doubt that this is the
language Of the leaders, not only In North
Carolina, but in all the other rebel States.
The master minds Of the rebellion will
never give up the struggle ss long as they
can force or cojole single regiment into
the heldi and the position they are sble to
take in this matter is q striking illustrs-
tion both Of the strength and weakness of
an aristocracy. What the Vance, and
Toombsss, and Davis, and Browns, say at
the South, has great deal more force and
meaning than what any similar number Of
prominent men could say ct the North. =
Individuals count for more in the game Of
politics than they have done here for over
half 8 century. 1t Is very common thing
for apolitical man in the South to announce
himself on his own mere motion as a can
didste for Congress or the Legislature, Just
as happens in England. If any one places
himself in such position at the North, he
would be laughed at for his oonceit and
presumption. And as the mass Of the
people ct the South read little, most of
them owe their political knowledge to the
stump speakers Of lesding Shareholders
and theio sons. It is not good mode Of
learning, certainly. 1t has every vice that
any system Of instruction ever had. But
its effect in Strengthening the influence Of
the ruling class is inevitable. It gives
them complete control over the opinions Of
the elections, and CONSEQUENTLY secure to
themselves the control Of public affairs,
generation after generation. Two or three
men from each State are able to pledge it
to any course Of action, however wild or
wicked, with almost absolute certainty.
