At Aberdeen, Mississippi, few
days since, o little son of Mr.. Bean
apparently died. Two. young ladies'
and a servant volunteered to keep
watch during the night. At about
IL O'Clock, the servant was noticed
to be asleep, when one of the young
ladies pricked her with pin, which
caused her to scream. This aroused
the supposed dead child, alarming
the inmates of the room greatly.
Upon examination it was found that
the child had become warm, and in
short time it was running about.

The motion was rejected thirds

pendlesoa and vallandlsha~ Type. .

PendIcton and vallandigham Types Of
Western Politicians and Statesmen.
Into the head of man like Pendleton tho
spirit of the age, the IDEAS the progress, the
vital movement, the things that give the time
its peculiar character, cannot enter. He Is Q
partisan and adheres to the ideas that were
instilled by party association and were party
gospel; and though the party that lived On the
ideas be dead and gone, though the issues
from which the ideas received shape have
passed away, he holds the ideas still, and
handles them and mumbles over them, and
twaddles and twaddes with the iteration OF
fatuity-the very impersonation of the genius
who brought bit of broken stone from the
Acropolis to witness for the greatness OF
Athens-the genius, power and poetry Of
Grecian life.
Mr. Pendleton does not even understand
that great agent of the social and political
life of the time in which he lives, the press.
In the letter we recently gave in regard to
his opinions in view of his present promi
nence was well exhibited the timid awk-
wardness of the man taken outside of his
party rut. Our correspondent acting on all
the forms and amenities of Intercourse, en-
deavored to draw his opinions for publica-
tion He had no opinions. 1t was, more
over, revolving to him to speak through the
press-that is to say, revolving to speak by the
only means that can give him access to the
whole mass of the American people, and the
only means that can present his thoughts in
circumstances in which the people can con-
slider them with deliberate leisure. His
opinion, however, came by dribbes through
his friends, who were disposed to give them
freely to the tenth cousin. And what were
the opinions thus treasured They are all
summed up on one point-the fve-twenties,
simply a howl about the payment Of the five
twenties. As to the great war and it's prtn-
ciples and consequences, nothing but much
about the fve-twenties AS to the national
debt even, and its true character and tho
proper provisions, quite as little, save the part
that stands in the five-twenties. He is simply
the statesman of the five-twenties, who to any
living issue ON any point aside from his fossil
democracy can return no answer but that
financial howl
Vallandigham seems to be man of more
thought, man more in sympathy with tho
time, and he discussed the situation freely and
with acute suggestion. He is, perhaps, the
true leader Of the uncompromising school Of
peace politicians of whom Pendleton is osten-
sibly the representative, and if any Of this
school is to go in Chase's Cabinet it should
be Vallandigham.

For some reason, 80 mysterious as it Is re-
marksbls, the House Of Representatives ap-
peared in o most sstonishingly virtuous charac-
ter yesterday. After patriotically deciding
that the government clerks should not obtain
the increase OF salaries which had been pre-
viously voted them, the subject Of the noto-
rious land job treaty Of the Lawrence and Gal
weston Railroad Company with the Great and
Little Usage Indians was taken up. BY this
treaty, as will be remembered, the Indians
agreed to cede eight millions of acres Of land
to the company for the very extraordinary
price Of nineteen cents per acre. Mr.. Clarke,
of Kansas, introduced q resolution setting
forth the injustice Of the treaty, declaring that
It's terms ''are not within treaty making
power" and therefore this House does hereby
solemnly condemn the same, and does also
earnestly but respectfully express the hope
and expectation that the Senate will not ratify
the said pretended treaty" After . brief
debate, In which all Of the speakers denounced
the measure as Gigantic swindle, the reso-
luton was agreed to without . division. We
do not suppose, after this action Of the House,
that the Senate will ratify the job; 50 it may
be regarded as having failed.

SAVING AT rHR TAP.-By the very small
majority Of four the House of Representa-
tives yesterday reconsidered the vote by
which the joint resolution was passed
giving twenty per cent additional oompensa-
tlon to the department employees at the capital,
and, on motion, laid the resolution on the
table. As this saves 10 the government be-
tween one and two millions per annum, and as
this also is the first occasion that we can
remember on which our present Congress has
been attacked with 6t of economy, we must
congratulate the country on the result Of the
vote. Considering with what sublime disre-
gard Of the taxpayers feelings leakages have
been permitted at the bung, we trust that this
latter day caution and saving at the tap will
not materially injure the health or trouble the
conscenccs Of our Representatives.

Railway LitiGaii0n-Hcavy Verdict.

Within the past year an immense number of
gigantic railway litigations have, by the ras-
cality or mismanagement Of directors, been
brought before the courts in almost every Sec
ton of the country, embarrassing the CONNER
cial interests Of the nation and in many cases
running honest stockholders. These suits are
frequently brought by stockholders themselves,
1t is true, but they are generally commenced to
prevent the executive officers from carrying
out individual schemes and for the protection
of the stockholders interests in opposition to
the cliques of managers. Of course, If suit
is brought by party against these ''rings"
the whole resources of the company are drawn
upon to defeat the action and result runously
to the non tockjobbing and bona tde invest
ments. Yesterday one of the heaviest judg-
ments ever recovered in this country, amount
ing to upwards of four million six hundred
thousand dollars, was entered in the Supreme
Court against the Union Pacific Railway Com
pany (Kansas branch). The Judgment was
recovered by Ross, Steele & Trowbridge, the
construction contractors Of the defendants line
of road, as compensation for services performed
and as damages for the subsequent breach Of
the contract, the officers of the road having

Tho Progress of Anarchy In Mexico.
Our Mexican news from day to day goes to
show that the worst which has ever been writ
ten or spoken as to the incapacity Of the
Mexican people for selfgovernment has not
only not overshot but has not been up to the
mark. Our telegraphic news and our letters
from special correspondents reveal state Of
anarchy in that country which is almost with
out parallel even in its own previous history,
bad as that history has been. Willing, as at
times we have been, to hope for Mexico, we
can now no longer conceal from ourselves tho
fact that the cause is hopeless.
1t is now some forty -four years ago since the
Mexican people shot their arst emperor, and
in vain attempt to initiate the people Of the
United States set up q republic. For forty
years they continued In q state Of anarchy,
making and unmaking presidents, faction
struggling with faction, tinkering old and
making new constitutions, contracting debts
and never paying them, quarrelling with their
best friends and losing large slices Of their
best territory; and at the end of the forty
years Of magnificent promise and no fruit they
found themselves demoraized and helpless,
and compelled, at the will of the foreigner, to
submit to another empire and another empe-
ror. To get rid of imperial rule they deposed
their first emperor, pensioned and then shot
him. During forty years they manufactured
some thirty-one constitutions--very nearly Q
constitution for every year-an unparalleled
feat in constitution making; but in spite Of all
their constitutions we find them at the end Of
the forty years selling themselves to foreigners
and bowing the knee to foreign emperor.
The history Of the second Mexican empire is
too recent to require repetition. True to
themselves and to the character which they
had established, no sooner was the second
empire set up than the spirit of anarchy re-
vealed itself The sympathy Of the United
| States was invoked, and, as was not unnatural
in the circumstances, was ungr,dgingly given.
But for the shadow of the United States which
fell on Mexican soil the French might have
Seen there to this day. Our shadow, however,
was too wuOh for them. They ssw y md

We publish to-day letter from an Albany
correspondent, giving an account Of caucus
OF prominent democratic politicians convened
for the purpose of considering the political sit.
uation and interchanging opinions in regard to
the Presidential nomination. Ex-Governos
Seymour was the centre of the gathering, and
freely gave his views We give verbatim
report of his remarks 80 far as they concerned
Chief Justice Chase. 1t seems that the Governor
distinctly endorsed Chase as the democratic
candidate, stating+hat he and the party differed
in no material point upon the living issues Of
the day. He said the Chief Justice stood right
upon the record as to free trade and the tariff,
and he agreed with the democrats on the gen.
eral question of taxation that he has always
been in favor of universal amnesty and for re.
storing to the South her constitutional rights,
and that as to negro suffrage he is willing to
leave that question entirely to the States, where
the democrats claim it belongs. This is Judge
Chases platform in nutshell; but simple ss
it is the democratic organs dared not publish
it in report Of the proceedings of the caucus
when they had an opportunity to do so. The
question is, therefore, definitely settled that
Ex-Governor Seymour is out fat-footed for
Chase!s nomination by the Democratic Conven-
ton, and his suggestion that Pendleton give
way for the present and await future honors b
dictated in manly and magnanimous spirit.
It is folly for the partisan journals to
attempt TO- smother this great, necessary and
patriotic Chase movement. Il is bound to 60
on. It is fully time that something like states
manship should distinguish the Presidential
office, and the people are beginning to realize
that Judge Chase is just the man for the time
and the occasion.
