ScANDAL.-rndianapolis is rife with scandal.
Gus stories A distinguished citizen has Gre.
ated sensation in connection with the young
and fascinating wife of venerable and con-
fdiBg gentlemen. A physician has found it
convenient to retire to private life on account
of the unfavorable termination Of case
from one Of the adjoining counties, whsreia q
young, beautiful, accomplished and wealthy
girl died under bis treatment. The walls Of
the city are plastered with circulars denounc
ing certain gay and festive young gentleman
as q scoundrel, william, and suca pet Names
A lady whose virtue he had attempted il said
to have taken this extraordinary method of
"showing him up" Another young gentle.
man, who had been writing letters to q school
girl, with dishonorable intent, was drawn into
an amousoade by the fair decoy. and cowhided
within an inch of bis life by lusty male rela.
tive. A gentleman who spends some Of his
time in New York, the other day wrote an al.
fcctionate letter to his mistress to join him,
and enclosing fifty dollars for travelling ex
penses. At tho same time he also wrote
. loving and dutiful cpistle to his con.
fdng wife, full Of regrets and lies. Unfortu.
nately the two letters got mixed, and that in
tended for the leman was sent to the wife
OF course there was row, and divorce talked
about. but the Lothario finally succeeded in
making the impression that it was all joke,
and that Miss -- was = fictitious person,
and that the whole matter was gotten up to
have little fun at his wife's expense, whom
he knew to be slightly inclined to Jealousy
The wife made fifty dollars by it, anyhow.

the end hanging in front it means that the Ia:

Ar!emus Ward is, OH the whole, the best
specimen of the last crop of humorists. He,
it is true, owes something to his mode of

attempt to give the dialect of the country
Every humorst necessarily loses good deal
by not being able to represent the peculiar
nasal drawl which seems to correspond to the
mental altitude Of the speaker. Many Of the
most excellent sayings in all conversation
won't keep. Deprived Of the manner and Of
the dramatic dialogue which explains them at
the time, they become stupid. They cannot
retain their brilliancy in . dry state. Tho
spelling which represents the original pronua.
citation is therefore a fair expedient; bnt the
arbitrary blunders, such as quoting "Hamlet'a
Soliloquy,' "2 B or not 2 b." are simply un.
meaning.

The Press.
In sermon on Thanksgiving Day. BY the
Rev. Mr.. Lesken, rector Of the Trinity (Epis.
copaD Church, Baltimore, he said:
II shall reserve the re1Ainder Of my re.
marks to . subject which Il rarely alluded u
in the pulpit. but which 10 exercising most
important Influence upon every state, city, vii.
lage, ,cosnty and family of eur union. l refer
to the press-the newspaper-which from the
smallest beginning, luxury to the favored
few, has become indispensable TO millions, and
whose power in forming public sentiment 10
unreasonable.
To illustrate remotely the influence Of this
power, suppose a person Of intelligence CON.
inR to your house every morning. He informs
you Of all that has occurred In your city, in
your country, in Europe or distant Asia. He
gathers the details Of each interesting event,
he attends each important meeting, and tells
you what was said and doAe. In rain and
tempest, in summer and winter, does this per.
son pay you his daily visits; and not only does
he bring you information. but he gives yeu
his opinion on each question a. it arises. In
time he becomes one Of you; he 10 identified
with your family; and the character Of your
self and those around you has been moulded
by this constant contact.
But the newspaper does more. Il brings
you hundred different articles, besides i'd.
vertisemsnts. II can be read ct leisure. lts
information reaches children. and is read BY
servants. It forms the subject Of conversa.
ton and plies its ceaseless visits to your home,
instructive, entertaining and interesting 70 al.
Have I over estimated the force of this
mighty engine? The French Encyclopaedia
helped produce the French Revolution by the
means Of ponderous books reaching the learned
few.
What influence must the modern press exert
scattering its myriad thoughts among the
millions! How noble the ministry Of the edi.
tor! How vast his capacity for good or evil!
He may enter the family daily and didase
cheerfulness by his diversified thoughts. He
may dry the tear Of sorrow, arrest the young
man in his downward career, and shield the
humble and delenceless against the invasion
of power. We have prayed for the President
of the Uaited States, and for al in authority
for our senate and house Of representa- tivsi
in congress assembled, and shall We forget
those who make our presidents aud determine
our representatives."

The HctrocessiOn of Alexandria
County.

Mr.. Wade, on Tuesday, called up in the
Senate the bill repeating the act retroce-
ding Alexandria county to the State of
Virginia.
Mr.. Henderson opposed the bill, con-
tending that Congress has the power to re-
move the capital to any place they choose,
and, coupled with that power, have the
right TO retroccdc the territory acquired
from Maryland or Virginia respectively to
those States. The question of the consti-
nationality of the retrOcession could rca-
dily hc tested, ne held, Ivy any Taxpayer
of Alexandria county before the courts.
II the act was repealed without the con-
sent of Virginia there would arise con-
hict of authority there.
Mr.. Howard held that the act Of retro
ccSSion was null and void, and the passage
Of this bill would be tho surcSt way of
bringing the question before the courts.
The territory of the District was given to
hc used rs "pcrmancnt scat of govern
mcnt," and Congress was bound in law and
equity To use il so until the people of the
United States release Congress from the
obligation. As regarded the removal of
the scat Of government, that might hap
pen III the course Oh events, Dul llc ulu lol
see where the power to remove it exists.
He held that it could only be done by an
alteration OF the Constitution, giving that
power to Congress. He spoke of the events
of the late war as having shown the incon-
ycnicncc 10 our authorities of having Dis
trict territory on the Virginia side of the
river in hostile possession, and contcnded
that there was not space enough here for
the seat of government minus that tract.
Mr.. Harris held also that the act of re-
PROCESSION was void, and he should vote for
the bill. He believed that Congress has
no power 10 remove the seat of govern
mcnt, and that if done ut all it must bc
bv an amendment OF the Constitution.
Nobody can tell by referring to the act OF
rctroccSSion whether it is a law or not. 1t
is provided in the act that it shall be valid
only in case the people Of Alexandria
county voted atirmativcly upon it, and the
act does not show whether ii was thus
affirmed or not. This was no sort of lcgiS-
! lation.
, The debate was still in progress when We
/ left The chamber.

Discussion OH the Tariff Bill-Its Pas.
Sagp.

SHsses
WAsHrHGToH, July 10.-In the debate
on the Tariff bill to-day, Mr.. Wentworth
said he feared it would prove prohibitory.
Mr.. Morrill, thought it was in the main
Just, and, Notwithstanding the clamor
against it, would prove beneficial to the
country.
Mr.. Dawes declared that New Eng
land did not need more protection, and
he did not want the responsibility, of this
bill to rest on his people, but on the West,
whose people had more interest in it than
any other section.
Mr.. Dclano said it ought to be passed.
1t was the first tariff bill that had ever
given anything like assistance to agricul-
ture. He appealed to the New England
members to stand by it.
Mr.. Kasson spoke in opposition to the
bill. He said its title should be =" q bill
to prevent the blessings Of Divine Provi-
dcncc from being enjoyed by the people
Of the United StatcS.' He thought the
bill should be rccommittcd and fundamen-
tally changed. 1t was legislating for spe
cal interest, and sacrificed the interest OF
onc-half the people for tho benefit of the
other half.
Amendments were offered, and passed,
reducing the duty on railroad iron to
seventy ccntspcr hundred pounds; striking
out all the amendments increasing the
duties on agricultural products.
The bill was finally passed.
