recently addressed to DR.. Henry Carpen-
ter, of Lancaster, Pa:
WASHINGTON, June 23-Dear Sir-l
learn that there was report in Lancas-
ter that / opposed paying due honors to
Mr.. Buchanan at his funeral. On the
other hand, attempted twice to intro
duce resolutions laudatory of Mr.. Buch-
anan's private character and personal his
tory, and asked the House to adjourn to
attend his funeral. A single objection
would prevent its being that day. Mr.
Van Wyck, of New York, constantly OBJ
jected earnestly appealed to him to
withdraw the objection. He persisted
until left the House. He then permit
ted very tame resolution, barely appoin-
ting committee, to be passed. | am anx-
ious that this mistake should be corrected,
for I should be ashamed of such prejudice
against the dead. | have no such preju-
dice. I would be glad if you could have
this statement in some way communicated
to the public through Democratic organs,
as do not wish Mr.. Buchanan's friends to
believe SO mean thing.

between Knox and Womack, in which the latter
lost his life as caused, it is said by disparag-
ing remarks made by Womack about the mother
of Knox. The latter demanded retraction
and dispute ensued, finally resulting in fight.
Knox is said to have severed Womack's jugular
vein with large drawing knife and then to
have stabbed him several times in the breast and
tomach, causing instant death. Knox has fed
the country. He is mere youth, not being
more than seventeen or eighteen years of age,

~ Oliver Wendell Holmes has n ke

" Oliver Wendell Holmes has a keen
eye for the beautiful, none clearer, but he says:
"Confound the make-belicve women we have
from? Why, there isn't beast or a bird that
would drag its tail through the dirt in the way
those creatures do their dresses. Because Il
queen or duchess wears long robes on great Occa-
sions, maid of all work or factory girl thinks
she must make herself nuisance by trailing
through the street, picking up and carrying
dirt about with her: bah that's what call getting
vulgarity into your bones and marrow"

u The rain which fell here on Sum
day was much needed, particularly as it had
been preceded by several days of scOrching sun
shine. The relief afforded by cooling the atmOs-
phCre was of short duration, however. Monday
was perfect peeler, and the forenoon of Tues
day was by no means to be sneezed at. AS we
"stick" this little item, on Tuesday afternoon,
what bids fair to be fine rain has commenced
falling. We hope it will wet and cool things
generally, and go and come again very soon.

" There seems to be some hope that
the Pauper Press Law will be repealed. 1t has
not answered any of the purposes intended. The
"loil' papers haven't grown rich, and the 9th
ers wag along about the same us usual. The on
ly practical result of its operation will be the
confusion and litigation which must ensue in
regard to land sales.
The Athens Post, after saying that the Nash
vile Press & Times and the Knoxville Wing are
the only radical papers in the State with any
thing like general circulation, naively adds
"Most of the others, we have reason to believe,
are, from some cause or other, quite limited in
the number of their readers, and these generally
of class not likely to be interested much in the
legal Advertising" .f

law. he went on to assert that no
man who did not admit the assump-
tions that the President possessed
Judicial as well as Executive
powers, could deny his written
orders, which show clearly his
violation of law, and proved him
worthy of conviction. Mr.. Bingham
then cited legal authority to show that
the averment and proof of evil intent
are not necessary in the proceedings
against any class Of persons except ju-
dicial officers, and in case alone of ig-
norance of law could be admitted as
an excuse. With regard to the defence
that the President suspended Mr..
Stanton under the Constitution and to
supply a vacancy under the law of 1875,
he claimed that the Presidents an
swers showed violation of the laws,
for that limited the tenure of such ap-
pointments to six months, and the
President appointed Gen. Thomas for
an indefinite period. He then spoke of
the argument that the President Is
bound to intervene to protect the peo-
pie from unconstitutional laws, and
said 1t was fallacious position; the
people are the guardians of their own
honor, and Congress is responsible only
to them.
AT this point Mr.. Bingham yielded
to the motion to adjourn. The Court
and Senate adjourned accordingly at
3 O'Clock and fifty minutes.
