The Washington Correspondent of

The action ofthe House'in prompt
ly repeating the law was taken in a
spirit of pure desire 10 put the Senate
in an awkward position, and it has
done it. It is understood that Mr..
Wade's reference of the Repeal bill to
the Retrenehment Committee has Sc
cured, if it was not designed to secure
an adverse report, as Edmunds, Will
liams, and Patterson, of New Hamp-
shire, are committed to having the
bill stand and two of them tonight
are quoted as against even Wilson'S
effective modification of it. The
Democrats in the Senate will vote
against this modification, as they are
for repeal-not anything short of it.
The feud between Grant and his party
which ran to such a high mark during
the holidays, has returned tonight
and surges in every circle in the capi-
tai. The sessions of the Senate, by
week after next, will be rife with di-
vision and elimination, and the Storm

DocToR BUTLER's curious financial
scheme turns out, after all, to. be, as
popular .rumor or malice says of much
of the plate in his possession, not his
own property. 1t was first promulga-
ted by Mr.. KELLOGG, who wrote a
book, which attracted little attention,
concerning financial matters, and it is
substantially the scheme adopted by
the Labor Congress which met last fall
in Germania Hall in this city Gener-
al Cary, of Ohio, has also committed
himself to similar scheme. The idea
of the Labor Congress, or rather of
those who urged the plan upon the
Congress, was to convert the whole
debt into Understanding bopds,
which, in turn, could be converted at
pleasure, or, as the exigencies of trade
might compel, into currency, thus ma
king money plenty when it was mo st
needed, and the currency might be
reverted to bonds at tsany time This,
of course, is based upon some ideal
conception of what constitutes a dol
lar. The ancients had a theory that
the earth rested ona turtles back, that
turtle ON another turtle, and SO on
down, vast succession of turtles that
never touched bottom, This is really
the objection to the Labor Congress,
Cary, Kellogg, or Butler scheme; in
stead of a few grains of gold for a
dollar to rest upon, the new scheme
has no more foundation than there
was for Buffers belief tina Fort Fisher
could not be taken.- World.

VULcAN1TE Co.-The agents of this
company have been perambulating
the country, hunting up the members
of the dental profession who have
been using the patent of the company
without license, and calling them to
account therefor. Sixty-fve suits
have been commenced against mem
bers of the profession in Northern
Ohio for Infringement of the patent,
and enjoining them from its further
use. The agent called upon our den

required them to come down with the

done. We are told that the price of

Mrs. Susan B. Anthony, ina lecture
ON female suffrage delivered in New
York city, short time since, made the
following palpable hit at the advocates
of negro suffrage. -.v .zai,
"Not alone were negroes enfranchs-
ed, but they had even come up to the
organic law of the south for some
months past. They had been in the
jury box, were appointed members of
congress, as is the case of one colored
man who is at present in Washington
awaiting his credentials by which he
should be empowered to take his seat
in the legislature of his country.
Schools and colleges had bee n endow-
ed for their education in Harvard an d
Yale. And what was this done for {?
Was it through love for the negro !?
Not at all. 1t was simply contriv-
ance for the purpose of gaining for
ambitious statesm en- the votes of the
enfranchised negroes" ss5.3 ooos5 .

= The Dayton Ledger TINS puts the
question directly at its cotemporary ::
the Journal suppose for one
moment that Davis would ever have
been tried, even, in the absence, of the
Pardon Proclamation )" Chief Jus
tice Chase held, at Richmond, some
weeks ago, that JEFF. Davis was dis
charged by the terms of the Fourteenth
Amendment to the Constitution.
Who carried through that Amend
ment? The Republicans. Who bailed
Davis, and thereby became most con-
spicuous in managing the Court ?
Horace Greeley. Who have refused
and neglected to try Davis, and finally
so shaped things as to secure his re-
lease and final pardon? The Repub-
lican party. He had got to be an ele-
phant on their hands, and they ought
to thank Chief Justice Chase and
Andy johnson for Granting them

Gun friend, Rev. D. r. Miller. pastor
of the U. B. Church of this place, re-
turned q few days since from quite an
extended tour in the State of Indiana.
He informs us that, with the exception
of the bottom lands, which have been
exposed to the recent floods, the wheat
prospects, are fully as good as those of
our State. Corn planting is more back
wards there than in O., but farmers are
in good spirits, full of energy. and will
improve every possible opportunity to
secure good crop of corn after all. Mr..
Miller also informs us that novel po-
htoe-buy has made its appearance In
,aMt State, which is as large as the end
of~a mans finger, and it is seriously
feared will be very numerous and more
destructive than the other bugs which
-hitheoto infesred that plant. They
cannot be driven off. They "act the
'possom" when such efforts are made.

MAKE RETURN OF LEGACIEs AND Dis
TR1BUr1oN, SHAREs.-By the Internal
Revenue laws now in force it is made
the duty of Executor, and Administra
tors having in charge any legacy OR
distribution shares, to make return of
the same to the Assessor or Assistant
Assessor Of the district, within thirty
days after their appointment. When
distribution is made in any case with
out payment of the tax, not only does
the Executor or Administrator become
liable to penalty, but the tax may be
collected of the person having the ac-
tual or construction possession of the
property in respect to which the tax is
due. No tax is so easily paid as sue
cession and legacy taxes, as they are
mere gifts which pass from the dece-
dent to his or her heirs. When an es-
tate is ssettled without the issue of let
ters of administration, the person who
shall assume the control and settle
ment of tue estate will be liable in all
respects as administrator.

"AUNT BETsEY" writes us commu-

greatly grieyed at seeing advertise
ments in the Republican,. announcing
that the Proprietors of the Upper Sam
dusky Distillery want an immense

is of the opinion that such advertise-
ments should be excluded from our
paper. But every person entertains

should conduct his business. IL are

these two parties how would he fare ?

nothing to write. Nothing to write,
How strange, how false the thought. Is
the world not full of the beautiful

loving thing. may afford subject upon
which to write. Is the world not full
of beauty? Are the flowers not now
blooming, and in contrast with the
rays OF Gods sun, filling the air with
sweet odors, calling to the mind of man
thoughts of praise and alteration. Yes,

God. Can man be excused, if he has
thoughts and does not write them.

believe it not. and it is this
thought that impels me to act. Our
thought are not our own, and should be
given with the sole object of benefiting
our fellows. Nothing to write. Are
we not now going at lightning speed to
salvation or destruction? Does not
self and selfish interest rule the world.
nationally and individually? Is this
not the reason that all nations now
stand with unsheathed sword in hand
ready to repell any stroke that may be
thrust at its national life. Has not our
late trouble at home, and our success il
preserving our national life, showed
the world cur greatness, and raised oui
ambition? Has not our eagle become
a full feathered bird, and is he not
posing now in high heaven, with his
eye centered upon some point where he
may fix his claws? Had we not the
right man in the right place, to check
the ambition of some of our leaders
would we not soon be plunged in wal
with England and perhaps all Europe
All these afford subjects upon which
we may write, and all men who love
peace, justice, and mercy more thar
