REPCDIATToS observation-disclosures got
its quIetus in the House yesterday after q sort
that must serve to tranquilize the weak nerves
OF any who have been so foolish a. TO suppose
that the American people, or any considerable
portion of them, would undertake to repudiate
the war indebtedness of the country.
Mr.. Mungen, Of Ohio, did good service to the
credit of the country in an indirect way by
making his reputation speech yesterday, for it
brought out one after another OF his Democratic
associates to repudiate the reputation doctrine:
and Mr.. Garfield, on the Republican side, with
that readiness which he has shown on several
occasions of improving an opportunity, clinched
the nail by bringing in a resolution on the heels
OF the debate, declaring that the proposition,
direct or indirect, to repudiate any portion of
the debt of the United States, Is unworthy of
the honor and good name of the nation and
that the House of Representatives, without dis
tnction Of party, sets the seal of its condemna-
tion upon any and all such propositions.
The Democratic members caught in the white
heat of their denunciations of reputation could
not well 60 back on their position, and Mr. Gar
field very eleverly netted them all with the
exception OF one member from Kentucky, who,
however, felt himself obliged to explain that he
was not a repudiator now, but didn't want to
bind himself NOT to be a repudiator under some
possible condition Of things.
The result of this vote will be good news to
the friends Of American credit throughout the
world; will serve to strengthen the Republican
party, and viii not damage the Democratic
party, with the exception of the small wing of
1t who hold with MIR. Pendleton.

Senator Cameron did the fair and proper
thing yesterday in frankly and emphatically
retracting his reflections upon the Official con-
duct OF Mr. John W. Forney as Secretary OF
the Senate. 1t viii be remembered that one OF
Mr. Forney's clerks used some of the Senate
funds improperly, and that Mr.. F. promptly
made the deficiency goodfrom his own resources,
and at heavy loss to himself. Instead of asking
relief from Government, as officials are ant to
do under similar circumstances, Mr.. Forney in
sisted upon shouldering the loss to the last
penny, course which seems to have ELECTED
the generous admiration of his late adversary.
resulting in the above-noted explanation by Mr..
Cameron.

John W. Stevenson was yesterday elected by
the Legislature of Kentucky as United States
Senator from that State to succeed Senator
McCreery, whose term of service expires March
4th, 1871. Mr.. Stevenson was elected on the
second ballot yesterday, Mr.. McCreery having
withdrawn from the contest after the first BAL
lot, ON the ground that he desired harmony in
the Democratic party, and that he looked upon
the first ballot as pointing to Stevenson. The
new Senator was born in Richmond, Va; read
law and settled in Covington, KY, in 1871. He
was elected to the Legislature in 1857. In
1919 he was elected to the Estate Constitutional
Convention" He was also one Of the three
commissioners appointed to revise the civil
and criminal code of Kentucky. He was elected
to the Thirty-ffth and Thirty-sixth Congresses,
serving on the Committee on Elections In 1861
hewas elected Lieutenant Governor, and served
as Governor.

MATRIMONIAL LorrERY.-A short time
since, at wedding in South Carolina, a
young lawyer moved that one man in the
company should be selected as president,
that this president should be duly sworn
to keep entirely secret all the communica-
tions that should be forwarded to him in
his official department that night, that
each unmarried gentleman and lady should
write his or her name on a piece Of paper,
and under it place the name of the person
they wished to marry, then hand it to the
president for inspection, and if any gentle
man and lady had reciprocally::chosen each
other the president was to inform each of
the result. and those who had not been re-
ciprocal in their choice were to be kept en-
tirely secret. After the appointment of
the president, communications were accor-
dinghy handed up the chair, and it was
found that twelve young ladies and gentle
men had reciprocal choices, and eleven of
the twelve matches were solemnized. LIT
the young ladies and gentlemen try it here.

Middletown transcript., 1869-03-13

The word "buskin," as used in connec-
uon with the theatrical profession, is the
translation of the Greek and Latin word
fsCothurnus," which signifies high-heel-
ed boot or shoe. used by the Greek and
Roman tragic actors to give an appearance
OF elevation to their stature, in conjunction
with the mask and other stage properties.
.Cothurnus," in Latin, is used in contra
distinction to "Soccus," the fat-soled shoe
worn by comedians. Hence. in English
authors, the word "sock" and "buskin"
are often used for the purpose of distin-
gushing the tragic and comic drama.
Thus wrote Dryden:
siGreat Fletcher never treads in buskin here.
Nor greater Jonson dares in socks appear"

Had you ever cousin, Toni
Did your cousin happen to sing2
Sisters we've all by the dozen, Tom,
But cousins q different thing,
I And you'd find, If ever you'd kiss her Tom,
Though let this be secret between us)
That your lips would have been In blister, Tom,
For they are not Of the sister genus.
There Is something, Tom, in sisters In,
=. When you give her good-night-kiss,
1nat sasors 90 much Of relationship,
= That nothing occurs amiss.
: But cousins lip II you once unite
y. With yours in the quietest way,
Instead Of sleeping wink that night
- You'll be dreaming tho following day.
And people think Il no harm, Tom,
a With cousin to hear you talk;
\ And no one feels any alarm, Tom,
At quiet cousnly walk.
But Tom, you'll find, what happen TO know,
That such walks often go into straying,
And the voices of cousins are sometimes so low,
Heaven only knows what you'll be saying
And there happens 80 often, Tom,
Soft pressure of hands and fingers
And looks that were moulded to soften, Tom,
And tones on which memory lingers
That long ere your walk is half over the strings
q Of your heart are put into play,
BY the voice of those demi-sisterly things
In not quite the most brotherly way.
And the songs of sister bring to you, Tom,
4 q Such tones as the angels WOO,
But fear If your cousin should sing to you, Tom,
You'd take her for an angel too.
For SO curious note is that note of theirs
That you'd fancy the voice that gave It
Had been all the time singing national airs
Instead Of the Psalms Of David.
once had cousin that sung, Tom,
asia Aud her name may be nameless now,
But the sound of those songs is still young, Tom,
Gst Though we are no longer so.
'Tis folly to dream of bower of green.
When there's not leaf on the tree,
But twixt walking and singing that cousin has
60 been,
God forgive her, the ruin of me.
And now care nought for society, Tom,
And lead such anchorite life,
For have loved myself into sobriety, Tom
And out of the wish for wife.
But oh ! If l said but half what might saw.
So sad were the lesson 'twould give,
That 'twould keep you from loving for many a
HiNs day,
hfAnd from cousins as long as you live.
