GIVE THE PRNrERs FArR PLAY.-We
have piece of advice which we wish to
impress firmly and indelibly upon the pub
lie mind, and that is, to give the printers
fair play. Do not forget that it cost some
thing to puff as well as to advertise, and
never sponge upon a printer in any way
whatever. It is the printers ink that
makes nine -tenths Of our fortunes; it takes
money to buy ink, type and paper. and yet
after all this, few are the thanks the prin-
ter gets. Give the printer fair play, and
give up all hopes of gratuitous putting,
etc. Daniel Webster was mighty near
right" when he remarked of the press,
"sman is the sum required to patronize a
newspaper amply rewarded is its patron.
I care not how humble and unpretending
the gazette which he takes, tits next to i'm
possible to fill it without putting into it
something that is worth the subscription
price.

CoUHTRYMAN's ANswEE.-A great and
learned Atheist once met a plain country
man going to church. He asked him
"Where are you going %
"To church, sir, to worship God"
"Pray, whether is your God great or
little God 2"
''He is both, sir.''
"Iow can He be both 90
''He is so great, sir, thAt the Heaven of
heavens cannot contain Him, and so little
that He can dwell IN my poor heart"
The Atheist declared that this simple
answea of the countryman had more effect
upon his mind than all the volumes the
learred doctors had written upon the sub
ject.

WHAT Is PROGRESSIVE AGRICULTURE ?
The New York Observer answers the
question in very few words, but very
comprehensiVely, as follows
Under its influence spring tasty and con-
venient dwellings adorned with shrubs and
flowers, and beautiful within with the
smiles of happy wives, tidy children in
the lap of,houghtful age-broad hearts aud
acts, as we'll as words of welcome. Pro-
gressive agriculture builds barns and puts
cutters on them, builds stables for cattle
and raises roots to feed them. e gratis
wild apple trees BY the meadow with pip
pins or greenjugs, it sets out new orchards
and takes care of the old ones. It drains
low lands, cuts down bushes, buys now
or, house tools and wagons, keeps good
fences and practices soiliug. 1t makes
hens lay, chickens live, and prevents
swine from roofing up meadows. Pro-
gressiye agriculture keeps on hand plenty
of dry fuel and brings in the oven wood
for women. 1t plows deeply, sows plenti-
fully. harrows evenly, and prays for the
blessings of Heaven.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is.

In the House when the Nebraska
Bill came up there were 160 nem
bers in attendance with the galleries
overlooking with spectators.
The determination of yesterday to
pass the bill without further debate,
was recensidered, and the whole sub
ject opened to an animated and
protracted discussion, which ranged
all over the House.
Thad. Stevens declared that no
State possessed a republican form of
government that did not give all per-
sons political and civil equality.
Mr. Hale, of New York, said that
net State in New England, in such
a view, had republican Govern
ment.
Mr.. Stevens replies that he was in
favor of Congress exacting one.
Mr.. Raymond spoke IN favor Of
universal equality before the law, in
every respect, but was opposed TO
Nebraska's admission on the ground
Of insufficient population.
Mr. Boutwell, msved to amend by
striking ont the third section, or the
Edwards provision and inserting a
clause making it condition prece
dent to the admission of Nebraska
that her Legislature should grant the
right of suffrage to all, without dis
tinctiGn of race or color
This was adopted, and the bill
passed by vote Of 103 to 50.
The same amendment was made to
the Colorado Bill, and both bills
were sent to the Senate for concur
rance.
The amendment adopted was a
copy of one offered in the Senate
when the bills were pending there
There does not seem to be much
prospect fer either bill becoming a
law.

WASHINGTON, Jan. Il.
In the Senate, o-day, the bill to
change the mode of appointing pen
sion agent5 was discussed, but final
action was not reached.
The bid to regulate the tenure Of
effice was taken up and discussed by
several Senators. 1t will probably
be debated several days longer.
Quite a scene occurred in the
House to-day, during the morning
hour. Mr.. Loan, of Missouri, read
brief speech en- the impeachment
question, during which he charged
President johnson with completely
in the assassination of President
Lincoln, and declared he had receiv-
ed his reward.
A point of order was raised on
such language by Mr. Hale, of New
York, and was overruled by the
Speaker on the ground that the
House had last Monday ordered an
investigation into the misdemeanors
OF the President.
An appeal was taken from this de-
cision, and the appeal laid on the
table by 100 votes.
In reply to question, MIR. Loan
said that the proof of his charge
would be submitted at the right time
and right place. But he declined to
answer new.
The Nebraska Bill was then taken
up, and spicy debate followed for
two hours, during which the Ed
munds amendment put in by the
Senate. requiring suffrage as con
dition precedent to the admission of
the State, was severely criticised and
declared 20 be INVALID. A test vote
showed but one majority IN favor of
the passage Of the bill 1t is regard
ed as impossible to pass the bill over
the veto.

In the Senate to day most of the
time was occupied in reading the
Tariff Bill. One hundred and seven
of the one hundred and nine printed
pages were read. Several amend
ments were offered The most i'm =
portant was one changing the duty
on imported books and papers from
thirty cents per pound in the original
bill to thirty five per cent, ad valo-
rem.
Mr.. Sumner gave notice Of his
intention to oppose this at the prop
er time.
A bill to prevent illegal voting in
the District was passed.
Mr. Summers resolution calling
for the correspondence in possession
Of the State Department, with Mr..
Motley, on the subject of his resigna-
ton as Minister to Vienna, was adop-
ted. This is the first step toward
Cowan's rejection.
The House, to day, took up at
once, and passed without a division
and with but little debate, q bill
reported from the Ways and Means
Committee, regulating the sale of
surplus gold in the Treasury. 1t
provides that when a sale of gold is
authorized from the Treasury, notice
shall be givs by publication six
days in paper in the cities of New
York and Washington, designating
the amount of gold offered for sale,
and inviting proposals for the pur-
chase Of the whole or any part there
of. These proposals shall be direct
ed to the Assistant Treasurer at New
York, and shall be opened in the
presence OF such persons as may
choose to attend.
No proposals shall be considered
unless accompanied by certificate
of deposit Of funds in the United
States Treasury to meet the payment
for such gold; and compound inter
est notes as shall be received for such
deposits.
The Assistant Treasurer may re-
ject all or any part of the bids, and
shall always make award to the high
est bidder, and, when two or more
bids are equal, the gold shall be di-
vided pro rata.
The bill was subsequently sent to
the Senate, where it was referred to
the Finance Committee.
The House then debated the En-
ablino Bill without q vote.

WASHINGTON, Jan. II.

The debate in the Senate to day,
was lively and interesting, and closed
with a scene more animated in its
character than any witnessed in that
Chamber since the opening of the
present session.
Several speeches had been made
on the bill to regulate the tenure of
office. The pending question had
been lost sight of, and instead of the
tenure of office, the Presidents con-
duct in appointing and removing
men in different parts Of the country
and the character of particular ap-
pointees, was the subject of discus
sion.
Mr.. Hendricks had undertaken the
cham pienship of the President, and
made an effective speech far his side
of the house, when Mr. Sumner rose
to close the debate He had not
proceeded very far, when he was
called to order by Mr. McDougal,
who protested against the following
sentence, as not allowable in debate
in the Senate:
"There was no such duty on our
fathers-there was no such duty on
our recent predecessors in this
Chamber, because there was no Pres:
ideRt who had become the enemy Of
his country"
Mr.. McDougal was called upon TO
reduce the Objectionable words to
writing, and, after pause of several
moments, he wrote something on a
slip of paper and sent it by page to
Mr.. Sumner, who at first, declined to
look at it, saying petulently that as
Mr.. McDougal had raised the point
it was for him to establish it
Mr.. McDougal was standing at
some distance from Mr.. Summer, and
appealed to him across the Chamber
to state whether what he had written
down was not correct. 1t was in
these words:
I'VE never had President before
who was an enemy to his country"
Mr.. Sumner read the slip, and,
handing it to the page, said: "No,
sir, that is not correct. You must
quote my words as reported by the
shert hand writer"
There was another lull in the pro-
ceedings, caused by waiting ON the
Globe reporter to get Mr. Summers
exact words.
Mr.. Seward entered the Chamber
and took a seat by the side of Mr..
Sumner, from whom he learned the
status of the case, and what had
transpired up to that time.
The reporters notes were forth
coming presently, but, in the mean
time Mr.. McDougal's point had been
decided by Mr. Anthony, who was in
the chair, to be not well taken. The
decision had been appealed from,
and the appeal had been withdrawn.
Mr.. Doelittie then proposed that
Mr.. Sumner should resume the hsor
and repeat from the manuscriDt Of
the reporter the words to which the
exception had been taken. Thfs vas
agreed to by Mr.. Summer and he
read what l have already quoted

E Gen. Grant doesn't propose
to be dragged by the coat tails along
with the President. He was invited
the other day to visit the White
House, and when he got there found
the Cabinet in session and the veto
message being read. He listened to
it in silence and then started for the
door: The President intercepted
him, and sought his opinion on the
subject The General gave no opin
ion whatever upon the message or
the subject of negro suffrage, yet the
President that very day informed a
prominent newspaper man knowing
his purpose to telegraph it, that
Cen Grant was present at the read
ing of the veto message and that he
approved it. The General the next
day authorized a denial Of the state
ment. He perceives that the Prcsi-
dent and Mr. Seward are trying to
use him to render their odious policy
less odious in the future than it has
been in the past, but they will not
succeed in humbugging the public or
hoodwinking the General.-Spring-
field Republican.

sentence, Mr.. Doolittle jumped up
and raised question of order, which
the Chair, Mr.. Anthony, Immediate
ly decided. as in the previous ease,
not well taken.
a scene of confusion followed,
which it would not be easy to de-
scribe. Half dozen Senators were
on the floor at once.
Mr.. Edmunds thought Mr.. Sum-
ner's language exceeded the proper
limits Of debate, but he wanted the
question of order postponed till to-
morrow. This could not be done, as
an appeal had been taken by Mr..
Deolittle from the decision Of the
Chair, and it must be disposed of be-
fore proceeding further.
Mr. Lone, of Indisna, obtained the
recognition of the chair, and moved
to lay Mr.. Doolittle's appeal on the
table.
Another Senator raised the point
that that motion was not in order,
and one point of order after another
was raised until there were four ap
peals from the decision of the chan
heaped one on tep of the other, and
all pending at the same time.
1t is difficult to tell how this in
tricate parliamentary web would have
been unraveled had not all the mo
tons and appeals been withdraw
but the one raised by Mr.. Doolittle
which was finally decided by the
yeas and nays in favor of Mr.. Sum
ner and the Chair. and the Senate
then adjourned without action on th'
bill so long under discussion.
The only feature in to-day's pro
ceedings in the House was the con
tinued consideration of Thad. Ste
ven's Enabling bill for the Southern
States.

@ Our able Representative,

@ Our able Representative,
Hon. II. S. Bundy, made speech,
in the House on the 5th inst, on
"Our Financial Condition" 1t is an
able speech, contaising some very
timely and wholesome advice in re-
lation to the finances of the country.
It's great length, occupying eight
columns Of the Daily Globe, preclud-
es its publication in our columns.
We extract from the Ironton Reg
lister the following statement of the
points discussed by Mr. Bundy:
He took the ground that high
prices were not the result of a redun-
dancy of the currency, and substan-
tlated the proposition by an array OF
facts connected with the market OF
various prominent commodities =
He also held that, in point of fact, il
is not true that we have a redundant
currency at this time. He alluded
to the period ef1S59 and 1860, when
there were three hundred millions OF
currency, which amount was not
even sufficient to approach cash
system in doing business, but for
every dollar of circulation. there was
somebody's note out for ten or fif-
teen dollars. At present, there are
between six and seven hundred mil
liens of dollars in circulation, an
amount not at all toe large for legit-
innate ard healthy prosecution of the
business of the country. Mr.. Bundy
discussed, al some length, the policy
of the Secretary of the Treasury, and
also that of Congress as indicated al
the last session, of converting the
compound interest notes into long
bonds, and retiring the non interest
bearing notes. This course, he
holds, is equivalent to reduction oi
the circulation to the amount of Ma,
tienal Bank currency. at time
when the industry of the country will
not have been wholly relieved OF the
strains imposed by the war. This
would be ruinous. The return &c
specie payments should be left te
natural causes, and should not bt
controlled by any spasmodic actier
of the Secretary of the Treasury
The speaker opposes any legislation
in regard to the increase or reduc
ton Of the National Bank currency
but if he should favor any scheme il
would be the redistribution OF the
bank capital to the States in proper
ton to the people resident or tt
the wants of the country. Mr.. B..
objects to the proposition to make il
unlawful for the banks to retain com
pound interest notes as reserve
and compel them to substitute lega
tender notes now circulating among
the people.

Cold-Blooded Assassination Of a
Tennessee State Senator.

We were overwhelmed with grief
last evening, on hearing intelligence
of the brutal assassination of DR.. Al
mon Case, Union Senator from
Obian County, West Tennessee, who
was shot dead st his residence, few
evenings since, by an assassin. Our
present information is as follows
Senator Case had gone to a neigh
boring town. Late in the evening a
man rode up and called. for him to
come out. Mrs. Case went to the
door, and IN answer to the mans in
quiry replied that he had gone to
town. The man rode off in the di
recticn indicated, and met Senator
Case on his return, with whom he
rode back On approaching the
house, the assassin pretended to de-
part, but Immediately afterward
wheeled and shot his unsuspecting
victim dead, and made his escape
Senator Case was good, brave
and faithful man, an aavocate of
progress, and an enlightened public
officer. He was an early friend of
colored enfranohisement, and it is
worthy of particular note that he was
in faver of universal amnesty, and
allowing all citizens to vote, ire
spective of their political antecedents
or color. But his liberal views made
him DO less obnoxious to rebel ma
levolence. He had fallen by the
hands of one of the very men whom
he was ready to pardon and restore.
Only few days prior to the begin
ming Of the present session, his son,
an excellent lad of sixteen, was shot
dead while the family was returning
from church, where the young man
had just made a profession of relig
ion. The father was wearing Grape
fer his murdered son at the time of
his own assassination.
Thus another name, full of honor.
