SENATOR YATES, of Illinois, on Thursday,
uttered n clarion note, sounded at the right
moment. In a speech upon the re-admis-
sion of the Southern States, he averred that
every Senator who had voted to aillx condi-
ton in respect to suffrage, had admitted the
right of Congress to control the voting right
in all the States. He justly ridiculed the
preicnse that State was republican which
disiranchised large proportion of its citi-
zcns; said the Universal Suffrage question
must be met and that Congress should guar
antcc equal voting rights throughout the
Republic. We shall print the speech in full,
in n few days, and so content ourselves with
this notice, and the expression of our hearty
thanks 10 Mr.. Yates.

f" am very glad you like it," returned
Honeybell; 1--WE have wanted it a goot
while; but as 1t is being mysterious gif
you can add the price OF it to Moquetts bill
Mary Jane, for bought it for yourself"
The simple frankness Of this speech nigh
have easily disarmcd reproach; but his wife
was excited and unreasonable, and when hel
husband had stopped she threw herself OF
the sofa, and burst into tears.
Mr.. Honeywell walked up and down fol
some moments, and when his wife ceased
crying he said, my dear, your wooden wed
ding has been failure, has it not No mat
ter, if you have only learned something.
suppose all these fashions about weddings
have come from the golden weddings com
mon in Germany and the North of Europe
There is something poetic and graceful ID
celebrating the fittieth anniversary of some
happy union; but here stop. ask you
as rational woman, what has that got to
do with wooden, tin, and oil sorts of trum
perry weddings? There is no poetry about
them; they are the most practical and vul-
gar prose. More than that, they are mean
way of getting presents out of friends thai
any lady should be too proud to practice.
There is u great deal more present giving
than there was; but don't imagine people
are at all more generous than they were.
Everything that is given is to be returned in
some way, and the return is calculated be-
| f,rabanl 7 q la
or anything but mean attempt at specu-
lation.
"What hate about it," Mr. Honeybcll
went on, sis the double-faccd way in which
things are done-people pretending to send
you gifts out of kindness, when all the time
they are thinking what they can get back.
Indeed, everybody must be tipped, as the
English say. Captains have presentation
on bringing their passengers safe home /;
bank people for carrying on business with
out cheating the public, and so on. Every
one who accomplishes anything which he is
paid for performing seems to expect that for
merely doing his duty he is to be feed and
complimentcd. In this way the nobility of
upright action is being rapidly taken out of
life. Fidelity and honor have become, ac-
cording TO this code, not indispensable quail
tiles, the want of which should cover a man
with shame as with cloak, but something
par dessus ie narche-something un-
hoped for, unlocked for and when found to
be paid for. think Shakespeare must have
been ironical when he says that service
sweat for duty not for need Indeed, such
an idea is repugnant to the nineteenth cen
tury. But insist that it goes to the other
extreme when the plainest duties of life are
to he rewarded as if they were magnani-
nous acts. Ii so, we have come upon u
new and dangerous order of things"
Well, here is n long enough lecture
about the wooden wedding" said Horace.
''Charles you oughtto take the stump at the
next Presidential election!"
:" He is quite right" said Mrs. Honeybell
II am sick of the whole foolish thing. l
promise you, Charles, If we live fifty years
together, never even to hint ut u golden
wedding"
Mr.. Honeybell smiled, kissed his wife, and,
pleased with himself went down to Wall
street.

The heavy rains of Thursday and Friday pro-
duced quite flood in the Brandywinc, White
Clay Greek, Red ClayICreek, aud other tributaries
to the Christiana, producing considerable of a
flood in the last named river, but not doing any
serious damage.
The storm seems to to have been heaviest abont
the head waters Of Red Clay Greek. and that
stream was swollen more than it has been before
since 1860.
Tue waters overflowed the banks of the stream
and played sad havoc with the fences, carrying
immense numbers of posts and rails down the
stream. Considerable damage was done to mill
races, but we have received yet no definite in
formation as to the extent or precise locality.
AT Marshallton, small town around Marshall
& Mendinhall's Rolling Mills, near stanton, a
bridge was carried away at about half past 10
o'clock yesterday morning. 1t went with q
crash, and broke entirely to pieces as it went over
the large dam of the kiamens woollen mills fur
ther down the stream. Had it not been for this
i would probably have carried away the covered
bridge at kanensi
AT Woods rolling mill, some distance further
up the stream than Marshallton, a new bridge
was recently erected. 1t was not carried away
but Its abuments were washed and considerably
damaged.
Persons living on that side Of Red Clay Creek
have to cross either at Kiamensi or at Phillips IL
Brothers mills, ut neither of which places the
bridges are injured.
Al Marshall's paper mill ia Chester county,
just above the State line the creek was very much
swollen and overilowed the banks. The first story
of the paper mill was entirely submerged. Every
movable article In it had to be carried up stairs
Considerable damage was done to the mill and
stock.
Ii is rumored that man attempted 10 drive
across the creek, somewhere in Chester county,
and was, with his horse and carriage, washed
down the stream. Several responsible parties,
further down the creek, assert positively thai
they saw man floating, face upwards, on the
flood, so 1t appears there is some foundation to
the story. On White Clay Greek, Mill Creek and
the Brandywiuc, the Hood was not SO high and
much less damage was done; considerable injury
was done, however, 10 fences, mill races, &c

WE HAVE HEARD 1t charged that the reso-
luton concerning Suffrage, adopted at Chi
cago, was placed there at the instance OF
General Grant, and reflected his views. We
are authorized, on authority which is re-
liable, to state that this is not true. The
platform was adopted by the Convention,
itself, and the language of the second clause
could undoubtedly have been changed, had
an earnest effort been made to do 80.
Let us repeat, we have full confidence in
the assurance that the second clause Of the
second resolution is not General Grants.

The LOUISVILLE JOURNAL, paper of the
good old Chinese stripe, which would be
popular on the Eastern Shore, scouts the
the idea of Chase. 1t expresses grave regret
that any Democrat has thought fit to mt n.
tion him as possible candidate, and says
"'ro talk of making him the Candidate is at
once to cripple his influence over his fol
lowers, and to confess our inability to elect
/; man of our own. 1t is suicidal"
This is just what we think. II is sui
eide. But we like to see our opponents
commit it,and they keep on, encouragingly.

A GREAT MO VEAfENT.

Miss Catharine f. Bceclicr the sister Of
Henry Ward Bccchcr, has recently commu-
uieatcd to the public the plan of new ef-
fort in behalf of the education of women.
II seems TO embody the most essential
and important idca-ihe training OF women
kor properly and inteligcntly performing
the duties OF domestic life Under any pos
sblc circumstances which our civilization
will permit, these must belong to the female
sex. 1t is as important that the wife should
10 slillul in her work, as that the husband,
whether iradesman, mechanic, artifcer, OF
otherwise he may be, should have an acc,l-
ralc knowledge Of his employment.
Miss Beecher's recent letter explains the
character of an "Important Educational
Moycment,' = the design Of which is to estab-
lis three kinds of female schools, prepara-
tory, collegiate and professional. From the
aS, women will graduate, trained to teach
in families and schools, to nurse the sick, to
take care of young children, and to perform
properly all domestic duties of detail or su-
peryision. This professional institution is
to be established in u Southern State, though
where has not yet been determined.
No one can fail to be convinced, upon n
slight investigation into the matter, that the
whole system of female education is very
collective. We do not charge it with being
entirely wrong, but we insist that such train
ing as Miss Becchcr proposes is most neces-
s'ry and desirable. The preparation of food
1r HE table, in America, is perfectly blind
performance, and not one housekeeper in
yc has either the knowledge of the capa-
lAlily of cookery, and the extent of its re-
sources, or Of the best methods and their ra-
to"afe. We do not blame the American
women; it Is not their fault. They have
lol had any opportunity 10 acquire the de-
soel training. But we do urge the noces-
siS II reform.

The New York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier writes that 1t is urged
on all hands that In so far as 1t appears to he
a foregone conclusion that the Southern
States are TO participate in the election, it is
important that the negro vote should be di-
vided MIR. Chase certainly will receive as
many of their votes, if not more, than Gen.
Grant. Another argument put forth by the
Democrats is that il would be almost useless
to have one Of their own in the Presidential
chair, while the Senate is, for the next four
years at least to remain IN its present politi.
cal complexion. With Mr. Chase in the
White House, 1t is quite likely that work.
ing majority can be obtained along with the
Conservative Republicans, and that an ad-
ministration thus inaugurated would prove
efficient, and tend to reconcile the various
conflicting interest of the country.
John Morrissey denies that he intends
to support Chief Justice Chase for the Dem.
ocratic nomination at New York, but thinks
that majority of the delegation from the
State will do so. He is for Pendleton.
The ST. Louis Democrat says we NAV
count on Missouri for eleven votes for Grant,
Coliax and Equal Rights, with twenty thou
sand majority to back them.
