evolutionary Proceedings.

If anything was needed to convince the
people of the Revolutionary tendencies of
the Radical party, the counting of the cleo
toral vote on Wednesday of last week should
prove the fact. The scene was not only
disorderly and disgreceful, but the effort to
exclude the electoral votes of Georgia and
Louisiana shows to what length b partisan
majority can go. -.. '
Georgia has been reconstructed and is
now represented in House Of Representa-
tives. She is therefore as much entitled to
have her electoral vote counted as South
Carolina or Massachusetts,. If we concede
the right of Congress to reject the votes of
States by this means they might altogether
defeat the will of the people, and by man
ipulating returns, declare elected person
who did not actually have a majority of the
electoral votes. ..
To add to the indecency of the matter it
was resolved that il the votes Of the State
Of Georgia did not alter the result Of the
election they might be counted /; and if they
did alter the result they were not to be
counted, " as if the political complexion of
the State added to or took from its rights
By the same reasoning New Jersey or New
York might have been excluded.
We now expect to see the Senate consis-
tent with itself. Having accepted the vote
of Georgia, it is an acknowledgment that
that she is a State and in the Union. If so,
she is entitled to representation, and the
refusal to admit Senator Hill is an act of
gross injustice, and self-stulifcation on the
part Of the Senate. Colombian,

I'LL TUNKHANNOCK


Ben. Butler is born rebel. Everybody
knows how persisteutly he voted fef JEFF
Davis in the Charleston Convention! HI
tried to get up another rebellion in Congress
the other day. The Senate and House haG
met in joint convention, to count off the
Presidential vote When the State oi
Georgia was called, Butler objected to its
vote being counted, although, under a con-
current resolution passed the day before, il
was agreed that the vote of Georgia should
be counted. if counting it did not alter the
general result.
After deal of wrangling and very nearly
regular row, the vote was finally counted
and the Senate, worried almost to death
with Bntler's berating, retired Butler then
offered the following resolution "
R1oived, that the House protests that the
counting of the vote of Georgia by the or
der of the Vice President pro tenn. was a
gross act of oppression, and an invasion of
the rights and privileges of the House
This then led to another furious war of
words among the members, in which Col
fax (who temporarily handed the chair over
to Dawes soon found himself involved, and
it was late i'll the night before the House,
wrought into an angry mood by Buffers
seditious conduct, adjourned.
The next day the debate was resumed,
with as much acrimony as ever. Bingham
pitched into Butler with unusual ferocity,
denouncing his resolution as revolution
ary." Butler concluded the bitter fight of
the day by so modifying his resolution as
to refer it to select committee of five.
On Friday the House succeeded in rid
ding itself of the matter by laying the whole
subject ON the table. But, upon the same
day in the Senate, the following resolution
was offered by Garret Davis, of Kentucky,
and was laid over under the rules
Resolced, DC, Th.t the noisy and disor-
derby conduct of Benjamin T. Butler,
from the State of Massaehu-
sets, and other members of the House of
Representatives, in Representative Hall, on
the 10th day of February, during the time
the President of the Senate, in the presence
of the Senate and House of Representa-
tives was opening the certificates of the
votes of the electors for President and Vice
President of United States from the several
States, and while said votes were being

'1t's very strange" mused Blanche Pen

scarlet autumn leaves with which she was
| decorating her broad-brimmed straw-hat
'1 know so little about him have only
known him ten days, and yet, when he
spoke about leaving Elm Point, last night,
it seemed as if all the sunshine were gone

ing forward, and apostrophising the fair
face mirrored in the glen-stream at her feet
SIS it possible that you've allowed yourself
to fall in love with that tall, dark-eyed fell

The roses mounted up into her cheek as
she wondered within herself whether Gil

Knew what ?'' demanded a calm voice,
and Mr.. Evering seated himself on the log
beside her-a straight handsome man, with
brilliant black eyes, regular features, and a
deep color glowing through his olive skin.
Blanche demurely looked up at him. She
was not to be taken by storm thus easily.
II wish I knew whether it will rain to-
morrow, for want to wear my white India

''Oh, the picnic I had forgotten that,

course, though, my presence or absence
would make no very great difference.

maple leaf required great deal of extra
adjustment in the ribbons of her hat.

Everything"
'Then you may stay I"
'My Blanche, my little white daisy T. he
whispered, bending his stately head over
the slender hand that lay ON the autumn
leaves. And Blanche felt that in the gold
en- stiffness of that October dell she had
turned over new page in her life.
She was very happy, and all that day she
seemed to be groping through the bright
mysteries of dream. But with the morn
ing came other feelings. Alas that shad

NEVER SATISFIED.

A man in his carriage was riding along,
A gaily dressed wife by his side;
In satin and lace she looks like queen,
And he like king in his pride.
A wood-sawyer stood on the street as he passed
The carriage-the couple he eyed,
And said, as he worked with his saw on a log,
/ wish was rich and could ride.
The man in his carriage remarked to his wife.
One thing would If | could,
rd give all my wealth for the strength and health
OF the man who is saving the wood.
A pretty young maid with q bundle ofwork,
Whose face, as the morning was fair,
Went tripping along with smile of delight,
While humming love breathing air.
She looked in the carriage-the lady she saw,
Arrayed In apparel so fined,
And said, I'm q whisper, wish In my heart
Those satins and laces were mine.
They lady looked out on the maid with her work
SO fair in her calico dress,
And said, I'd relinquish position and wealth,
Her beauty and youth to possess
Thus 1t is In this world whatever our lot,
Our mind and time we employ
In longing and signing for what we have not,
Ungrateful for what VIC enjoy.

The Gays were not without charm
when, talking soft and looking silly,

And lanes were lone and fields were Silly.

To be longer time together.

About the weather, suppose,
The crops the harvest and the nation.

Was neither wise nor witty,

Through coming by the road selected,
But both agreed that we had found
The journey shorter than expected.

And Il we hit upon and take II,

this does not prove that France is ripe

arbitrate between Imperialism and
