The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1869-03-27

Of the Senate the control of the whole army of
public servants, has, linked with their legis-
lative functions, given them greater power
than has ever before been possessed by any
legislative body In the civilized world. The
United States Senate to-day handle the wealth
and honors of the whole nation, and the ex-
tent to which they have used their vast power
has only been limited by the yielding pressure
which, up to this time, has been opposed to
them by the people. That pressure is, how
ever, no longer yielding. The country is sick
to disgust with body which is forgetful of all
national prosperity and only alive to personal
ambition and party rule.
The House Of Representatives are nearer to
the people than the Senate. They feel the
pulsations of the national heart quicker. They
should, therefore, reject the amendment offered
by the Senate and boldly aid the Executive we
have elected. Mr.. Butler, clear headed aud
sagacious, stands by the people, and the tele-
graph informs us that he will only be con-
tented with the restoration to General Grant
of all the authority of the executive Office. II,
however, the House fail in its duty, let the
President veto the amendment and make issue
Immediately with the Senate for the restora-
tion of the executive power. The people will
support him in this contest; for, despite the
ring influence, despite the desire of the few to
curtail the many in contraventien of our
governmental system, despite the power to
which the Senate cliDgs, the President can
defeat them; for they cannot afford such a
contest to wreck the Republican party by
clinging to stolen property.

which, to the many, progress is TO be secured,
and upon which is to be- based the outgrowth
of broad culture which we express by the
word intuition. 1t is plain that these condi-
tions will be founded, first, upon useful in
dustry; for only by this means can the full
reflex power by which the mind acts upon the
body, and the body upon the mind, be estab-
lished. That the human race in its progress
is leaning forward toward this contamination,
there can be no doubt; and when it shall be
reached it will be seen that, IL such thing
were longer possible, there could be no greater
misfortune than to be born the son of an En-
perOr.

The Lamentations Of Senator Sprague.
ErOm tAe N Y TYnes

Senator Sprag1e seems bilious. He has
been attacked, moreover, of late with a ra-
markable ttur, which, it is to be hoped. will
relieve his mind OF good deal of the perilous
stun which seems TO have troubled him. and
enable him to take rather more cheerful views
of political and social affairs in this coun,Tv
than disturb his vision just now. He has made
several speeches of late of a character Quite
unusual in the Senate, and we'll calculated TO
attract attention and excite reflection. Hs
thinks things generally are in very bad way
among us. Our polit ical affairs are in bad
hands. The legislation Of the country is CON
trolled by incompetent men. The people are
Of frivolous, thoughtless, and senseless dis
position, disposed to make light of serious
things. Their clothes are good, but they
don't cover much virtue. He had done q
good deal, had given good deal in char.

CANBY's sheritfs in Virginia are de-

private use and benefit. 1t is not to be
supposed that anybody is particularly
astonished at this result. These otfi
GERS, chosen by CANDY under the recon

for the reason that they were the most
worthless men in the commu

pened to find them. 1t is not claimed
that the appointments were made ayow-
edly because the recipients were

they were chosen for their excessive

The Tennessee Convention.

The Constitutional Convention OF
Tennessee will be almost wholly Dem
ocratic. There will be but five or six
Radicals in the body. Among the dele
gates are A. o. P. NICHOLSON, once a
United States Senator; JOHN NEITHER
LAND, formerly member of Congress;
NEIL S. Brown, Governor of the State
in IS48; GEORGE w. JONES and MILTON
BRowN, ex-members of Congress; RoBr.
J. MCKINNEY, JOHN F. HOUSE, JOHN c.
THOMPSON, HUMPHREY BATE, j. j.
Polk, j. A. GARDNER, and Others of
recognized ability and character. 1t Is
encouraging to find such citizens called
once more to the management of affairs
in State which has for five years been
the theatre of such gross misrule, and
which, as the result of such misrnle,
finds itself buTdened with debt Of
over forty-four million dollars. A Con
vention thus composed caunOs fail to
bring the people incalculable advan-
tages, and place the State once more on
8 sound Constitutional platform.

try, and lost his leg on the battlefield.
The brave man who bears for all his life
such honorable mutilation should not

A Pleasant Speculation.

Some late developments have been
made Of Radical rascality in the South
Carolina Legislature. A Ring composed
chiefly Of carpet baggers has control OF
that body. A year ago, they bought up
about all the bills of the South Carliua
State Bank, then selling for twenty
cents on the dollar. One industrious
and capable csrpet-bagger from Ohio
managed to get possession of about two
hundred thousand dollars Of this State
Bank money at these deprecated hg,
urea. Then the Ring procured the pass
age of an act to fund these bills at thelI
face and pay interest upon them in law
ful money. That was considered reas
onably good speculation. But it didn't
satisfy the greediness of TIE Ring
Still later they have indsced the Legisla'
ture to provide for paying the interest IN
gold. This has sent the bonds up to sew,
enty. five cents. Happy in the realization
of two hundred and seventy five pei
cent. profit on their laudab.e invest
ment, the South Carolina patriots are
content to turn their attention to new
schemes of plunder.

national machine last year. The Secre-
