REsARKARLB MEMORY Our attention
has been called 70 remarkable instance of
memory in the case Of Master Ed. Il. Penne-
baker, Jr, a member Of the Sunday School
Of the McKendree Methodist Church, who
r'peaied verbatim 2,3l5 consecutive verses OF
Scripture, without hesitating or making a
single mistake. This was done at four reei-
tations. Ateno,har time he repeated the en-
tire book Of Mark at one lesson. Master
Penrebaker is an intelligent and promising
youth OF eleven or twelve years OF age, and
a nephew of our fellow citizen, y. Il. Pen

GRAMMAR CLAss.-Last evening we
visited Mr.. ALL1SGTos's Grammar Glass, and
were highly gratifed both with his mode of
teaching and the progress made by his pupils
in this important branch of English educa-
tton. His class consists principally of gen.
tlemen engaged in business which occupies
their time and thoughts during the day, but
VINO, feeling the necessity for Improvement
in this branch of education, entirely neg
lected in their younger days, appropriate
two or three evenings each week to its
study. The proficiency made by the class
during the few weeks past, speaks well both
for teacher and student. Most OF the class
are now able to fuently parse sentences that
appear very difficult 70 the unIearned, and
to detect false synta@ very readily Mr.
ALLISGToS is a teacher whose services are
greatly needed in this place, and we trust he
may find sufficient encouragement to induce
him TO remain among US

Soldiers Deserving the Radicals.
In alt parts of the Union brave soldiers
| are leaving the, Radical party, and de-
nouncing that organization as opposed to
the bestsinterest of the nation. Recently,
Colonel John Thurley, of Ohio, repudiated
the Radical party, to which he had always
belonged, in the following truthful and
strong language: hear = -
81 am compelled to say that no party has
ever had an existence in this country which
has shown such an utter disregard of law
or of the Constitution; none has ever been
so corrupt l have never been Democrat,
yet, as one who lovesth country, am
willing to unite with the Democrats, Con-
seryatives. or men of any party, TO arrest
this anarchy or despotism to which we are
drifting" .rs..,....- i ifl,i
In summing up the acts of the party in
power, the Colonel continues, as follows:
!. "Tley have already, by their unjust, ty-
raiinical and despotic rule, desolated the
fairest portion of our country to the ty-
rants sway, making slaves or worse than
slaves of millions of our countrymen-
An1ericans-by denying them any protec-
ton for life, liberty, or property; taxing
them beyond anything ever known, with
no voice or power to prevent or regulate it,
with no right TO hold Office, no right to
the jury-box, no right to enforce a Just
claim. no right to testify, no right to protect
their persons, their family or property, all
at the mercy of the thousand thieves and
Republican party to invest the country, is
their entire concurrence and willingness to
engender malice and i'll feeling between
the former slave and master. No mon-
archical government has ever treated its
citizens thus" Hari .. f-eI ,fygs -

On Thursday of next week occurs the ami
versary of the extinction of Slavery in Mary
land. The colored people of that State desire
to celebrate the event and some of them who
have been regularly organized as military COM
panies have respectfully asked from the State
authorities the privilege of joining in this cele-
bration, under the protection of the regular
State police. The Commissioners of Police
nave promptly and emphatcally refused such
permission. Maryland, therefore, presents to
an admiring world the spectacle of State
that has 10y its own laws emancipated fourth
of its citizens, and yet denies them the poor
privilege of concentrating the day of their
deliverance. There is but one step further for
these Commissioners, and that is to return these
audacious negroes to the slave-pens whence
they came; and who doubts that this would
be done if the ability to perform were equal
to the desire to do?

Some time since vote was taken III the City
of Richmond to decide whether the credit OF
that city should be used to assist in extending
the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad, so as to
make it contribute to the commerce and in
crease the wealth of the capital and the State.
The vote was, by large majority, in favor of
the projects there was not only large ma
iority of colored voters that way, but also a
majority of all the whites who voted on the
question. The matter was thus legally and fairly
settled but since then some of tho opponents
of the subscription have raised question as
TO the legality or propriety of "niggers' doing
anything to increase the prosperity and property
of the late Confederate Capital. To crafty
these grumblers, Gen. Schofeld permits new
election, in which not only all those entitled to
vote by registration under the Reconstruction
acts may take part, but also all Others entitled
TO vote under the laws of Virginia. This
seems to be an unnecessary concession ;
but it may be "a well to humor
the Chivalry. When. ten years ago, they elected
members to the National Congress, they counted
every five negroes, old and young, male and
female, as equal to three white persons, and so
gave them powerful share in representation
vet we never heard that any member OF the
first families complained of negro influence.
The difference now is merely that the negro
casts his own vote, while heretofore his master
voted for him. If the Chivalry now choose to
strangle their dead -and-alive City rather than
have it enriched by the result of colored votes,
we do not believe any one will shed tears for
them

4 QUESTION FOR III. G."
From The BOSTON Transcript


What would be the verdict of history upon political
party that carried the Repnbe safely through civil
10 regulate the sale Of cider and lager beerf
Response by The Tribune.
Attempts TO regulate the sale of Alcoholic
beverages are exactly what The Transcript and
its p. L. l.. cOnfederates have all along pro-
fessed to uphold. Gov. Andrew, AS their
spokesman, last Winter proclaimed himself the
advocate of Stringent Excise act He ably
argued that such an act would be more effective
in suppressing intemperance and restricting
drinking than any. act of Prohibition. The peo-
pie of Massachusetts have trusted to such as
surances and given their legislation over into
the p L. LIS hands. Perhaps this was wise
perhaps not. We wait to see. But mind that
attempts to "reguIdte' the Liquor Traffic are
ip your line, not ours. We believe iii cutting
that Liquor dogs tail off right behind the ears.
But The Transcript falsely assumes that some
one has attempted to commit The Republican
party to our theories or notions touching the
Liquor Traffic. Whatever may be true of the
devotees of License, that is not true of The
TRIBUNE. The Liquor question was dragged
into the first delegated Republican State Con-
vention we ever attended-that of 1855: we
resisted and beat it, insisting that
no resolve on the subject should be
passed-that each Republican should be left
free to favor Regulation, Prohibition, or
License, as he should deem best. From that
hour, the question never came UP, so far as
we are aware, ia Republican Convention till
this year. when (no one from THE TRIBUNE
being a delegate) the friends of free drinking,
on Sundays and weekdays alike, crowded
through at the last moment a resolve favor
ing their view of the subject. 1t did not ex-
press the sentiment Of the Convention, which
was emphatically in favor of leaving the whole
subject outside of Republican Conventions and
it did not save a hundred Liquor votes to the
Republican ticket, while it repealed many
Jealous Temperance men. We promptly re-
pudiated, as an attempt to commit the Repub-
lcan party to particular course on a subject
wherein Republicans VIGOROUSLY differed, and
had right to differ. No man was ever re-
qured, as a Republican, to be for or against
License or Prohibition; and the Interpolation
of the Liquor question into our councils could
not he other than disastrous Our view of the
matter is precisely that proclaimed by the Re-
publcans of Massachusetts, in an excellent resO-
luton of their late State Convention. We
stand, as a Republican, on that resolve; where
stands The Transcript

Another important aid to the working women
of New York is the Protective Union Of which
Mrs. Brooks is Superintendent. The office Of
the Union is at No. A Franklin-st., where there
is also library of 5000 volumes for the use of
women exclusively Here applications are re-
ceived for employment, and, since the organ
izatiOn of the association, thousands OF
needy women have been furnished with
good situations through its influence. Here,
too, complaints are received from working
girls who have been maltreated or defrauded
by their employers, and these complaints are
never allowed to pass unnoticed. The delln-
quent employer is furnished with a copy OF
the complaint, and is called upon for an expla-
nation. If this is unsatisfactory, he is at once
prosecuted by the counsel of the. Association.
Only short time ago. the notorious swindler
Mrs. Meyers, who had defrauded hundred
working girls and had for several years man
aged to escape punishment for her crimes here
and elsewhere, was checked in her career by
the Working Women's Protective Union, and
sent to Blackwell's Island for six months.
This Association has been many years in ex-
istence and has effected great good 1t is
supported by voluntary contributions, yet is no
more charity to the poor worling-woman
than the police force which protects her from
bodily HARM or the Court which redresses her
wrongs The Home, and the Union, two of the
best preventives of despair, misery, and all
forms of moral disease among the unprotected
tOilers of our great metropolis, deserve the
hearty support and encouragement of the pub
lie. They need not merely a pecuniary aid to
enlarge their sphere of usefulness, but the and
of personal influence as well, to overcome,
among the timid whom they are designed to
benefit, that morbid pride so marked char
acteristic of the female who earns her bread
by the labor of her hands, and which prompts
her to reject any offer of aid for which she Is
not allowed to pay what she deems Its full
value.

nnHERNMENT MINING.

A graduate of the Nevada silver and Mon
tana gold mines now in FreybOurg, Saxony whittier
he has gone investigate the subject Of Government
mining, writes us of its great success These mines.
the oldest and largest in Europe, have been worked
with great success for 800 years and now employ
about 900 men The yield of the ore is only - per
tun in silver but the Government reducing works
are 40 systematized that not only all the silver but
also the "copper" zinc lead and even the acids yield
the miner profit The mines are owned and worked
by individuals while the Government erects the re-
ducing works Each working alone, would fail but
both working together succeed individuals lack
the capital and cannot sustain the risk Of reducing
while the Government lacks the incentive and indi-
vidual energy inseparable from mining. Our CORE
spondent recommends the appropriation OF 100000
or by Congress for the erection of reduc-
ing works in our silver mining States This, he
thinks would set 100 miners at work where now there
is one, and would only interfere with those COM
panies which are putting up expensive works without
knowing whether their mines will warrant the out
lay OF not. -LL
