Senator Cattell, of New Jersey, yes
terday offered the following
Resolved, That the Senate receive
with profound regret the proposition of
the President in his annual message to
repudiate a portion of the National OBJ
legations, and regard this and all other
forms Of reputation as national
crime. National honor requires the
payment of the Public Debt in the ut
most good faith to all creditors at home
and abroad, not only according to the
letter butthe spirit Of the laws under
which it was created.
The resolution was referred to the
Finance Committee.

GRANTS PERSONAL APPEAR
ANCE
ANCE.

4 Hartford correspondent who has
/ been on trip with General Grant,
writes:
General Grants personal appearance
has been so fully and so often given by
both pen and pencil that nearly every
one seeing him for the first time says ;
"Just about as [ expected. AT first
you cannot, of course, disconnect his
presence from the valorous deeds with
which his name is identified, and there
fore you behold him surrounded with
victorious garlands, aud he is Il hero on
the spot. Then you scrutinize his per
son-see him smaller in stature, per-
haps, than you expected, yet compactly
built, man of iron constitution, with
a balanced compound of the nervous,
sanguine and bilious temperaments,.
every nerve under strict control. The
most remarkable thing about him that
which impresses you to refiection-is
the almost entire absence Of facial eX
preston Most people have ways Of
enforcing or Illustrating thought fully
as much by the muscles of the face rs
by verbal expression, and many, we all
know, will talk louder say more with
smile OF wink Of the eyes than by
the fercest defamation. But General
Grant appears to have none of this
expressive utterance. so to speak, eX-
cept sometime the wave of a smile will
pass over his face only to be lost in a.
moment in the fixed rigidity of his
coutenance. There is nothing of glum
ness or stupidity. or ferceness in his
looks; rather he wears an expression oil
repose and childlike simplici-
ty. entirely devoid OF all cunning.
You find it difficult to tell whether his
features, which by the way
are never unpleasantly rutfled, are more
than the conviction you
have that he is Il man entirely above
and free from anything that borders
upon affections-for, on this, he is Il
wonder.
If the sanctity Of his private life
could be invaded, he would unques-
Honably appear before the world as
one of the most demonstrative in his
affection for loved ones-as thoroughly
simple with his children, as he is unaf
fected in the presence of strangers.
There is something in all this that you
see and think of as he stands before
You, that gives him quiet dignity
that which draws your admiration out
as you realize that beneath the absolute
ealmness of his features there is thel
resolution and indomitable
pluck, well seasoned with patience,
that have given dignity to silence, and
settle the question forever that volubili-
ty is not human greatness.

Fnr1rNanrrsrN ON JOHNSON AND Re

FRELINGHUYsEN ON JOHNSON AND RE
PuDIATIoN. The best thing said in Con"
gress on the Presidents message was
said by Senator Frelinghuysen. When
the message had been read through in
the Senate, Mr. Edmunds gave notice
that in view of the remarkable charac
ter of the message, he would on Tues
day next move to discharge the COM
mittee and take up the joint resolution
providing that the Federal bonds be
paid in coin, when Mr., Frelinghuysen
rose and said, among other things
am glad the message has been read
in order that we, the accredited repre-
sentatives of this government, may de-
clare to the nations of the earth that
we repudiate and reject the repudiating
doctrines of the message and that we
may tell them that the plain people of
the land, who had the heroism to pre-
serve the liberties of this country, how
ever the Executive may underrate them,
are possessed of the will and ability to
preserve their country's honor. In our
illimitable domain, in our waving fields.
in our exhaustless mines, in our indus
trial enterprise, yes, and if it must be,
in the tension and toll of every muscle
and in the sweat drops from every
brow, the world has the pledge that the
honor and the faith of America shall be
inviolate.
/ am glad, too, that we have had the
opportunity of calling the attention Of
the public to the fact that if we proceed
to pay the principal of our debt at the
same rate that We have been paying II

Fatal Accident on the Hudson Eslv-

F'TsHKILL, Dec. Is

E'ISHKILL, Dec. 10.
Near New-Hamburgh, yesterday
afternoon, one woman lost her life and
another woman and little girl We're
seriously injured. Catherine McNul-
ty, aged Is, servant in the employ
of Mr.. John Bodden of Milton Ferry,
started shortly after 2 p. m. i'll com
pany with Minnie Bodden, aged seven
years, to visit her sister, Mrs. Nannas-
dale, wife of fagman on the railroad,
They walked down the track to the
station, where Mrs. Vannasdale joined
them, and all three started to see an
other person a mile or two further
along, AS they were passing through
a deep rock cut, two and half miles
north of New-Hamburgh. they observ-
ed freight approaching. They step
ped over on the down track. The
train passed, and almost Immediately
afterward the Poughkeepsie special ran
over them. Mrs. Vannasdale was kill
ed. The child was dashed against a
stone wall on the west side of the
track, while Miss McNulty was thrown
to the east side. The train stopped,
and John Engler, the champion ska
ter, picked up the little girl and bore

FIRE ALARM BELL.

Our fircmen complain that they suffer
manifold Inconvenience through the
want OF proper fire alarm. Under the
present system. it is seldom that ar
alarm is prompilt answered, because Of
the uncertainty OF fire A good fire
man nevers runs on a false alarm, and
is therefore often compelled to wait &
long time before assured that his ser
vices are really needed We cannot
understand why it is that the City Fa-
Tiers have neglected this important
matter so long 3Fe venture to say
that's tower erected at Union Square
would pay for itself within the year.-
The hell could be rung by the police
(who are ever on duty at headquarters)
without any additional cost. and in less
than three minutes from the time the
fire was observed, the companies would
be fastening to the scene of danger. -
We speak Of Union Square, because it
is most central, and %c believe the fire.
men deem this locality the most suita-
bic for the alarm tower-the horse cars
passing and repassing the spot every
fifteen minutes, the alarm and exact
locality could be given without any
trouble OF delay.
And again, with au alarm that could
be heard throughout the city. the up
town companies need not be called out
unless in case Of Il serious fire at the
Port while unless a severe fire broke
out i'll the upper part of the city, the
Port companies might remain at home.
There is seldom any need for the up
town companies at the Port, especially
while the fire hydrants are so few and
far between. Nine times ont of ten
they have q long run, exhaushng them
selves, and then, on arriving at the fire
find no water within half mile or so.
In fact, unless the fire happens along
the water front, there is no opportunity
offered for the uptown companies to
get into service. The Port companies
are thoroughly competent to manage
and subdue most Of the fires happening
in that part OF the city, and with five
in the upper wards are see
no reason to feel very much alarmed.
Now, let us have the alarm bell, and
then let the experienced Chief Engineer
Of the Department adopt a series Of sig
nails for the wards, " OF direction, or
districts, SO that but one or two, or
three or more coln panies may promptly
be called out-but no more than is
needed to subdue the fire.
The fremen are abont to move i'll the
matter, and we shall soon see whether
their wants are to be regarded, or
they will be left to erect the
tower with the limited resources at
heir command.

MUSICAL ENTERTAINMENT.

A corps of ''sweet singers" from the city OF
Richmond, consisting of Madame Ruhl, James
Grant, John Redford and r. L. Dickinson, gave
Concert, in Masonic Building, on last Friday
night, which surpassed any entertainment of the
kind to which our citizens have recently been
permitted to listen. The audience was large and
appreciative. The programme was made up OF
selections from the best authors, and was rem
dered in the most scientific and skillful manner.
"Ermani, fly aoith me-" from the Opera of Ernani
''Casta Diva," from Norma, and kathleen Ma
vomr,seem" were sung by Madame Ruhl, in ex-
quisite style. She displayed a sweet, powerful
and highly cultivated voice. 1.-THE Old Section, -
was sung by Mr. Grant, as a base solo, in man.
ner which elected the admiration and applause
of the most severe critics. ~ am Dreaming
was sung by Mr. BEDFORD as tenor solo, and
was received with applause. Several other solos
duets and trios were rendered with equal skill
and effect. Prof Ide, of the Va. Female Insti-
tute, accompanied Madame Ruhl, on the piano.
in his peculiarly skillful and equisite style
The singers were urged to repeat their enter
tainment, but engagements in the city prevented
their doing so. We hope they may visit us
again soon and give large number of our citi-
zens an opportunity of hearing them produce
con-co3ds of sweet sounds.

The Ladies of the Episcopal Sewing Society
are now endeavering to reno the tangled grass
rubbish, and underground generally which
make the Cemetery attached to the Episcopal
Church so unsightly a spot. TheS are very

commendable undertaking We know that the
remains of many of the most honored of oul
community, both of town and country, are burleo
there and we invite the friends of all such to aid
these ladies by sending them efficient laborers te
carry on the pious work. 1t is a sad reproach tt
