Poor "SpOOnS"!

Even the poor, 'tuppenny' Rump
journals treat him with the utmost
contempt. The Chicago Journal,
speaking of him the other day said:
General Butler is making about
as ineffective a demonstration in
Congress as he did before Fort Fish
er with his famous powder boat
MIR Bingham pretty effectually bot
tied him yesterday, and turned his
attack into complete rout. -
And the dirty Post, Of the same
city, spurns him after this sort -
"The entire affair, so far as But
Ter is conc erned, is born of a selfish.
factious, turbulent and brutal
spirit, which has no place in tho
halls of Congress. and upon whose
ambitious and unscrupulous attempts
at agitating the party Of loyalty and
of law and order all should frown. "

Modern Republicanisnl.

In the days of our fathers, whel
parties were divided into Fedora
and Anti-Fedcral, and later, wher
the parties were known as Federal
lists and Republicans, tho idea at.
tached to an Anti Federalist or Re.
publican was just the opposite o.
the present day. Now to be Re.
publican means to be Radical in
principle and a Centralizationist in
practice, abstract Constitution.
al power from two branches Of the
Government, Judicial and Execu.
tive, and to confer it upon Con.
gress,-to impose taxes without
representations punish not alone
States in Resellion, but States
never in Rebellion, as is seen in the
State Of Maryland, whose Senator
is denied his placein Congress simply
because he is Democrat. One is
almost startled ashe reads the burn
ing words of Washington, Jefferson,
and Madison, against such usurpa-
tions Of power, and justly indignant
as he realizes that after all it is
THE MINORITY and not THe MAJOR
1rY of American people who perpe-
trates their abuses. In these latter
revolutionary days we not only rob
States of their true position, but
citizens of their legal rights. A
military commander is applauded for
striking down, in his own personal
discretion, State and Municipal Of
6cers elected by the people, and for
putting in their places, in exercise
of the same discretion, those who
happen to meet his fancy! And
this in time of peace, too, and
with no resistance or thought of re-
sistance on the part of those whose
heads are cut off. Cromwell at
tempted no more in England, nor
Bismarck, single-handed, in Prussia,
and the rest Of Germany under
Prussian control. Our modern Re-
publicanism is at best modelled af-
ter the French Revolution. En-
bracing all atheism, all infdelity,
all fanaticism, all radicalism, all
the bad features Of ancient federal
ism, all, and none of
them good ones,-it runs riot IN the
excesses of a revolutionary spirit.
Oh for one conscious hour of those
blessed days when Washington and
his early successors presided over
the destinics of the Republic f! That
hour might t teach :; the people 6 Of t the e
phrenzy, and which has followed our
early history evena as the earthquake
sometimes follows the stiffness of
nature. To-day the Constitution,
when not a dead letter, is the OBJ
ject of contempt, whenever it crosses
the path of those who desire to over
rule it. NJ. Thiers recently closed

Soon tho singing of birds, the un-

blooming of the flowers, and moro
cheerful still, the music of busy in
dustry in the garden and field, and
on the farm, will give universal Joy.
All the various pursuits and busi-

fresh hope and activity. Listen,
then, to the sweet ringing voice of
Spring:

Ye may trace my step DER the wakonins

By the winds which tell Of the violet's birth
By the primrose stars on the shadowy grass,
BY the green leaves, opening as pass"
And we'll may young and old, tho
poor and rich, the wise and simple,
catch the glad notes and sing in re-
ponse
"The little brooks run on in light,
AS if they had a chase of mirth
The skies are blue, the air is warm,

That sheds q beauty o'cr the carth.'

There is no human organization
upon the globe that ever has or
ever will harmonize in one body so
many elements which are in eternal
conflict as the Masonic organization.
Its wise founders, if it ever had any,
organized it upon few simple but
cardinal landmarks, which command
the appreciation and lay fast hold
upon the affections Of it's initiates,
and which furnish no grounds of con-
troversy, admit no improvement,
and tolerates no change. The laws
of Masonry are as fixed, immutable,
and eternal as mathematics. The
old patriarch Enoch inscribed them
upon pillar of stone and transmit
ted them through the mighty food F.;
Noah taught them to two Of his sons
upon the summit of the sacred
mountain where his ark rested when
the food subsided, and the eartt
bloomed and blushed again with
vine and fruit under the genial sun:
Moses learned them from the ole
priest on the banks of the Nile the
men of Gebel carved them on the
rock ribs of the Mediterranean sea
{ Solomon and the two Hirams col
lected them in brief code at Jeru
| salem, and the builders and rebuild
ers Of the Temple spread them ove'
the globe f; and they were transmit
ted to us in legendary lines, as vel
as to the Indian chiefs who inhabit
ed and clai med to own this grca
country before our forefathers dis
covered it.-Judge English.

SCHOOL LAw.-We are indebted to Senar
tar Webster for copy of the bill published in
this paper, proposing certain amendments to
the school law. 1t viii be seen that Senator
Webster has not paid such Difference to the
will of the people of this city Expressed in
one of the largest public meetings ever held
here) as was expected of him. He proposes,
it is true, to restrict the additional tax to one
per cent.-but he gives the board of educa-
ton power to borrow money, which the peo-
pie refused to do. He yields to the call OF
the people for increasing the board to five
members, but he refuses to give the people a
chance to elect them in the manner they de
manded. He places the election at time
when not one-tenth of the people can be in
duced to go to the polls, and when the little
clique who run the schools can elect Just
who they please, in defiance of the known
wish of the great majority of the people
And he fixes the terms of Office so that, i
the people desire it, they will hardly be able
to change the board till one generation o
people has passed away.
The worst features of the present bill arr
the power to run the people into debt the
fixing of the election at time when it is
farce, burlesque to call it an expression o
the will of the people-and giving the mem
bers of the board term ofoffice which vii
outiive many of the people they are author
lied to tax and govern.
We think the senator would have done
better to have carried out the will of his con
stituents, as expressed in the great mas.
meeting in the court house.
