TUESDAY, June 9th, Isis.

lUESDAl, Juno Stu, lCo7'
The Senate was called to order by the
Hon. w. +. Stevenson, President. Pray
ar by Rev. j. L. M'Lure of the United
Presbyterians.
The journal of the Senate having been
read and approved, the President, an
nounced that communications were In
order, whereupon communications from
the House were received.
On motion of Mr.. BURLEY, the rules
of the Senate, were suspended that the
Heuse bill, No. 81, might be read and
put upon its third and final reading.
This elected general discussion, but
was finally passed unanimously, togeth-
er with its title.
Senate Bill No. :, was called up and
referred to the Judiciary Committee.
Senate Bill No. was read first time
and laid over under the rules.
On motion of Mr.. CARSKADON the
Joint resolution relative to the impeach-
meut of the President was taken from
the table, and a substitute submitted
which endorsed the Chicago platform.
Mr.. YOUNG opposed the substitute,
said this body was not political body.
1t wlsa a legislative body. The amend.
ment was rs different from the original
as the Jewish church was from the
Christian.
After some discussion the original res
olstion was again laid on the table.
Senate Bill No. 5, relating to the law
yers' test oath was called up, and after
some discussion the resolution was
shorn of its preamble, and an amend
ment offered requiring petition OF one
half oft registered voters of the coun-
tv in which said petitioner resides. The
amendment was rejected.
A motion was then made to strike out
the word receive" which was carried.
A motion was also made to strike out
the word ''joint," which was adopted.
The resolution as thSs amended was
put upon its final passage. After some
discussion the yeas and nays were called

On motion of Mr.. CARSkADON it
was suggested that the Senate dispense
with the committee clerks, which was
agreed to.
Mr.. CARSKADON then made mo-
tion that the Senate proceed to elect
one committee clerk to meet with the
Joint committee on the revision OF the
Code. The resolution was amended so
as to read two instead of one. AS
amended it was carried.
The Senate then proceeded to elect
the two committee clerks. Several

clerkships the Senate, after series OF
balloting, made choice Of the following

Clear as Mud

The story is told of a venerable theo-
logical Professor that, while once ad.
dressing q Sunday school, he happened
to use the word "epitome.' Suspecting
that he might be using too big a word
for their comprehension, he thus trans
lated it into childish vernacular: "But
perhapth, children, you don't know
what epitome meauth. Epitome, cpl
tome; why, it is thynonymOuth with
thynopthith." That was n miracle of
clearness compared with the explana-
tion of Christ's presence in the sacra-
ment, which DR.. Morgan Dix gives TO
confirmation classes in his Manual. He
tells these children that Christ "glori-
fed humanity" becomes present in the
communion "supra-loeally, hyper-Phy-
sically, and spiritually, in some way
believed in by the Church, but known
only to God !"

Grnnt Matched,

Much amusement has been caused by
the appearance on fences and dead
walls of an illustrated show bill, repre-
senting Grant matched. 1t is an adver-
tlSemcnt of FOX's pantomime OF
"Humpty Dumpty," and the illustration
is fac silnile Of the picture exhibited
at the Chicago Convention, except
that the chair that is vacant in
the original is filed in the show
bill. On one side sits Grant, looking
demure, as usual; in the center stands
Columbia, pointing at him with one
hand, while the other is stretched to-
ward the chair that TGS vacant, but is
now filled by Humpty Dumpty, a mis-
chievous looking clown, who eyes Grant
with an expression that says, ala, ha !
old boy you're matched at last" The
hit is so palpable that no one can help
laughing heartily at it, and crowds
gather around the show bills wherever
they are seen.

The uireiing of tho Whisky Thicve.

The whisky-ring has bought up no
more faithful tool than Greeley. In
the proposed reduction of the whisky
tax to fifty cents is the fatal blow to the
whisky-ring, al its corruption and all
its villainies.
Greeley rushes to the front, and begs
that the whisky thieves may yet be
suffered to live and thrive. Make But
ler the commissioner, he says, and keep
the tax at 81.
OF whisky lOO,OOO,OOO gallons are
made yearly. Due in tax, 100000, ,OC0 g.
Amount actually collected never
reached $50, 900, 900, to-day dwiadlcs to
Sl3 900. -.
Greeley would have the people be-
lieve that he believes the services of
Batter are worth beyond those of all
other men, Sls7 600, 900 per annum.
Whereat the people reply that they
see all too plainly how much more pow
er full slS7 900 900 are than the virtue of
men in whom they had put as much
trust as in Mr.. Greeley himself, and they
refuse to be hoodwinked by the trans
parent UpreteDce.
1t is not possible, without civil ser
vice system, which can never be ex-
pected from tho Republican party, to
collect more than fifty cents gatOn on
whisky. This amount can be collected,
even with our present system of abem-
inatious. merely because the penalties
of fraud are not worth incurring for
the moderate tax.
Greeley declares land he speaks in
behalf Of the whisky ring for comprO-
mise, or 81 tax. Doubtless they could
live and thrive on that, even if less fat
ly than hitherto. But a fifty-ceDt rate
would smash the nose of every whisky
thief vino has not already dropped of
gorged. So Greeley labOrs to spare
them that fate

the Democrats to the extent of leading
them and filling whatever offices they
may have to bestow.
While we are not disposed to under
rate the liberal spirit Of these gentle
men, we are not quite prepared to nc
cept them as guides aud rulers. We
have become somewhat accustomed to
the idea that men to lead must first
have served, and that for party to
preserve its self-respect, if not to
achieve success, il must have some re-
gard for the ideas upon which its Or
ganization is built, which give it its
force and antitlo it to the confidence
Of the men who support it. In tie es.
timation of men who regard victory
and plunder as everything, principle
as nothing, this may seem ridiculous,
bat there are nevertheless goodly nun
Der who are willing to brave the ridi.
cule which such a position entails.
The masses who compose the Demo.
cratic party, believe that this Union is
composed of States whose right to con-
troll their own internal affairs is not to be
questioned; they believe the white race
to be capable ofself-goverument,w without
the aid of the negro; that the currency
which Congress compels private Citi-
zens to accept should be good enough
for bond holders; that taxation should
be uniform and that no species of pro.
perty should be specially exempt, and
that military government over one third
of the people is wrong and an abomin-
alton. In order to support Judge CHASE
the Democrats must renounce these
opinions. They mnst accept the
ideas that the highest race in the world
cannot preserve free government with
out going into partnership with the
lowest; that the military is superior to
the civil power; and that the working
classes of the land mast mortgage their
energies to secure to privileged class,
substantial golden values, while them
selves receiving the painted fancies of a
paper circulation. They must reneunce
Intelligence, freedom and equal taxa
tion, as ideas of government, and accept
instead barbarism, despotism and pub
lie robbery. Abandoning their ancient
faith, they must acknowledge the SOW
ereignty of the "loyap trinity, bayo-
nets, bondholders and buck niggers.
Does any man suppose that the
masses of the Democratic party
will support Presidential candi-
late upon any such conditions If
80, he has much to learn concerning the
people who built up this Republic and
gave it its greatness and its glory.

How a Little Orphan Girl was Kid
mapped.

The New Orleans Pitdwne, of the
29th ult., says: A short time since the
directors of the Female Orphan Asylum,
Camp street, gave the children of the
institution picnic at the Carrollton
Gardens (Dan Hickok's), the grounds
having been placed Mt their disposal by
that jolly AmphitryOn. When all was
ready for the start home, and the little
folks were packed away in the cars, one
little bright-eyed girl was found TO be
missing, and thorough search was
made for her. She cOuld not be found,
and tho party was obliged to return
without her to the city, the strange and
unaccountable disappearance casting
quite a gloom over the days enjoyment.
With the description of the lost child,
Mr.. Hickok early next morning started
out, determined to find her, and it was
not long before his earnest zeal was re-
warded with success. Strange as it
NAV seem the little lady had been regu-
larry kidnapped in broad daylight,
while the children were in the gardens
at play, by man and woman, who, for
some reason, not explained, wished to
get possession of her. The way it was
Effected was this: The man and
woman, while fondling with the
child. gave her some candies
and cakes, and little by little
watching their opportunity, led her off
into the brick building which is used
at times by the gardener to arrange his
bouquets for sale. Once in the build
ing, and removed from sight, the work
of changing the costume of the child to
one of entire black was effected in a
few moments, when, ooncealing the
clothing taken from her, they led her
out into the garden so disguised that
they were enabled to pass out without
fear of detection. The man, who. had
recently moved to Carrollton, has been
lodged in Jail, and the little girl is safe
in the Asylum, where she has been a
pet for over five years. The mystery
attached to the kidnapping remains to
