THE SHERMAN AND BINGHAM Bills.

The opposition of Thaddeus Stevens and
some other radicals to the Sherman and
Bingham bills for hurrying in Alabama. in
spite of the failure of the carpet-baggers to
reconstruct her under existing laws, is by no
means surprising. They do not object to the
proposed proceeding because it differs from
the mode of admission prescribed by the re-
construction acts, because it is in bad faith,
extreme and precipitate; of course not. They
object to it, not because it is too much, but
because it is too little; because it does not go
far enough. And, from their standpoint,
they are logical.
If Alabama, they argue, is fit for admission
under the carpet-baggers' Constitution, al
though large majority of her people protest
against being brought in under this contri-
vance, surely the nine other States, which
have not formally made such a protest,
are equally fit for admission under similar
eontrivances. They do not fancy a piece
meal process. Their appetites are large
enough to gulp down all the ten States at
once, even if ''only ten loyal men," in the
words of the New York Tribune, should hand
them up on truly radical platters. They are
willing to confess that the reconstruction
scheme has proved failure and farce, and
that it is now necessary to go back to first
principles, and prescribe a summary and posi-
tive method for carpet-bagging all the ten
States at one swoop, and Juggling them in
wholesale for radical service in the presiden-
tial election. Look out for this project next

No sisters smiles nor fathers cheering mouth
Thy mother only nigh
To speak fond words aud comfort thy soul,
And loving, look and sigh,
As leaving thy corse it flew TO its goal
Through the shadOwy sky)
Of Heavenly rest on high.
But thy worth was known and honor shown
To ell who knew thee well,
As by ringing metals all must own,

So other friends with thy stricken sire,
In SORROW mourn thy knell
With joyous tears that hopes inspire,
That thou art resting well;
So farewell Ed. farewell! INN

readers know that we have always oppoS-
ell Congress doing any thing 70 depreciate

Ike greatest confidence sh oull be felt in
its security as All Investment. Mr.. Pike
introduces the English example which it
seems has worked well, for with its public
debt exceeding our own its ere lit. is clear
up to the most desirable point. At any
rate the remarks of Mr.. Pike are worthy
of attention, seeing that portion of the
Democrats are continually harpiny upon
the aristocracy ofthe bond-lolders, and
the inequality of the principles of taxation
as is now illustrated. The readers atten-
ton is invitcd to the speech. and We hopt
all Interested will read it.
