BURNING PRAYERs.-The question OF
paying = Chaplain of the Assembly was
up yesterday, and was voted down. Mr..
Cleveland remarked that as the House
had refused to pay the Chaplain, he was
now opposed to cumming prayers"
Cleveland, it is quite evident, is n very
independent sort of q sinner, and don't
need prayers, and seems to think If they
have to be paid for they are a prey on
the legislative fund. As the Senatorial
spike is clinched-and as the old game
Of "see me" is out Of the question,
perhaps it is just as we'll to do without
the usual invocation Of "lead us not
into temptation"

FERRY.

Both Houses Of Congress have now
passed a bill for the sale Of the Gov
ernment property at Hafpsr's Ferry,
and that place which was rendered val
liable by the long patronage of the Gov
ernment, remains what it has been since
the conclusion of the war-an insight.
cant Virginia village, without business
or enterprise, negotiating and rottiug in
idleness. This is the punishment Of re-
bellion. Perhaps if the Government
buildings at Harper's Ferry had re-
manned uninjured during the war, the
manufacturing Of arms at that place
might have been resumed. But the
first outbreak was the signal for the
destruction Of the shops and armory
there, and from that moment the fate Of
the village was sealed. During the rebel
lion Harper's Ferry was alternately
held by the Federal and rebel forces.
Having been taken from the rebels by
Banks, it IA then captured by "Stons-
wall Jackson during the bold but I'M
fortunate movement which eventuated
in a hasty retreat from Maryland, after
the battle Of Antietam. At Hsrper's
Ferry, Ford, who commanded Maryland
Heights, acted so badly that be was a.
forwards dismissed the service, and
Miles afforded the rebels the greatest
w~indfall, in the way Of u capture, that
they made during the war at n time.
Eleven thousand FIVE hundred and
eighty-three United States soldiers
were surrendered to Jackson at Har-
per's Ferry, and the whole transaction
was one of the most d~isgraceful in our
military history. Harper's Ferry, there
fore, has but few memories which are
pleasant, and if the United States Gov
ernment ceases to have concern with il,
patriotic citizens will feel no regret.
