WHILE according the utmost purity Of motive
to those members Of Congress who desire 70
have business Of a general character transacted
at this session of Congress, we must approve
the decision of the majority to conine legisla-
tion to the one subject Of reconstruction The
responsibility for the present session now rests
wholly with the President, who by his nullii-
cation of the Reconstruction law rendered a
session necessary. We hope Congress will do
nothing to shift that responsibility from his
shoulders to their own. The country needs
repose. Constant political agitation becomes
distasteful and at the present time is attended
by more or less arrangement of business. The
country viii sanction such legislation as may
be necessary to give full effect to the Congress
sional plan of reconstruction, but beyond that
the popular sentiment will not justify Con-
gress in going at this session.

LAST evening Hon. James M. Wayne, Asso-
oiate Justice of the Supreme Court of the
United States, died in Washington city. For
the third of a century he has held his seat on
the Supreme Bench, having been appointed
bv President Jackson in 1885. He was born
In 1885, in Savannah, Georgia. He graduated
at Princeton, and came to the North to pursue
his law studies On the completion of his
studies he returned to Georgia, and was
elected to the State Legislature. After serving
for two terms he was chosen Mayor of Savan-
nah, and on resigning that Office was elected
Judge of the Superior Court, which position
he held for six years. In 1929 he was elected
Representative to Congress, and proved him
self hard-working as well as clear-thinking
member. Hewas awarm and consistent advo-
cate of General Jackson, and was rewarded for
his fidelity by being appointed to the high
position which he has held for thirty-two
years. His death leaves no vacancy, as the
recent law of Congress reduced the number of
judges to seven, so that there yet remains two
more than the required number. Justice
Wayne was the ablest admiralty lawyer at the
American bar.
At Henderson, Ky, yesterday, the Hon.
Logan w. Powell died unexpectedly. Mr..
Powell was a member of the United States
Senate from 1859 to 1866, and took an active
part in the debates in that body. He was
elected as a Peace Democrat, and faithfully
expressed the sentiments of his party by con-
stantly opposing every war measure to which
the assent of the Senate was necessary. He
was born October 6, 1872, and graduated at
st. Joseph's College in 1888. Studied law at
Transylvania University, and was admitted in
1885. In 1886 he was member of the Legis-
lature; was Presidential Elector in 1874 was
Governor of Kentucky from 1851 to 1859 and
came to the Senate in 1859. He was a lawyer
of considerable ability, although not much of
an orator.
Hon. Charles Denison, member of Congress
rom the Lebanon District, died few days
since. He was born January %, 1918, and
graduated at Dickinson College in 1889. Prac-
tised law for twenty years without en-
gaging in politics, was elected to the Thirty
eighth Congress in 1862, and was reelected in
1864. He was war Democrat, and gave his
assent and vote to many of the war measures.
AT the time of his death he was member ot
the Fortieth Congress, and there therefore
exists vacancy in the Pennsylvania dele.
cation.
telegram yesterday informed us that
Antonio Lopez de Santa Anna was shot in
Mexico by the partisans of Juarez. He was
born in 1898, appeared as soldier in 1921
and since that time until 1855 has been con
tinually ascending the throne of Mexico anC
Immediately descending therefrom. He ha
headed no less than seven successful revOlu
tions, and his tragic death is a fitting termina
ton for so adven turous and reckless a career

Another Public murder in Mexico

THE new Government in Mexico, with Juarez
at its head, seems determined to make itself
as obnoxious as possible to the civilized world.
The base, cowardly, and cruel murder of the
late Emperor Macmillan has just been followed
by the murder of Santa Anna. 1t will be re-
membered that this old man was, few days
since, seized on board an American vessel,
forcibly abducted in spite of his own protesta-
tions and those of the captain of the vessel,
and carried upon shore; and now, after short
confinement has been shot. OF course, the
excuse is that he has been plotting against the
blood-thirsty savages who now call themselves
the Government of Mexico; but the fact re-
mains that he had not committed a single
overt act, and certainly after his arrest was
powerless for harm.
Murder and blood are now holding high car
nival in Mexico. The empire of Macmillan
has been overthrown, but it would be a false
hood in every respect to say that a republic has
been established in its stead. No it is
despOtism of the most cruel and bloody
character.

The Pacific Railroad.

DESPITE the Indian war, the building of the
Pacific Railroad proceeds apace. The Omaha
Line has just added to itself another section of
forty miles, which extends the road to the dis
tance of 1856 miles from Omaha. This line is
now well up to the base of the Rocky Noun
tains. 1t has brought Denver to within about
thirty-six hours ride of the railroad by stage,
and has shortened the trip to Utah and the
mountains by several days. 1t is very unfor-
tunate that the Indian troubles have been so
severe as to almost entirely check the emil
grafton to the Territories of the interior, which
would otherwise have been greatly stimulated
by this rapid building of the railroad.
The Kansas branch is also being rapidly
built, and the completed portion is already
doing very handsome business.

Cemetery have requested the poets of the coun-
try to compete in furnishing a poem for the
occasion, the productions being "of not less
than two hundred lines EACH" We would sug
gest that the limit be the other way-of not
more than two hundred llues each. Quantity is
far less difficult procure in poesy than quality
and when once the poets have begun to draw
from Helicon it is hard matter to turn off the
stream. The oDe-line poem on the Turning
of the water into wine" is forever famous. The
immortal requiem ode OF Collins, in 1746, begun
ming "How sleep the brave who sink to rest, ;,
is comprised in twelve lines If in two hundred
lines written for the Antietam Cemetery, two
such stanzas as those of Collins could be pro
duced, the author would fix his reputation for
centuries

AN ABLE financial writer, referring to the
price of our bonds in Europe, expresses aston
ishment that 'the English prefer to pay "a for
their consols, which yield only per cent. in
terest, instead of buying American securities at
"A, which bear per cent. interest" The thing
is not SO amazing when we consider the
stupidity of the British mind. 1t must not be
forgotten that, even to this day, the only kind
of United States bonds willingly received
abroad are the first issue of the 6-2Os, they
being the first thrown on foreign market;
and as the mind of ]. B. is capable of grasping
but one idea, the 7'3Os and 10-40s are neces-
sarily excluded.
