The Cattle and sheep Bills.

Our remarks q few days ago on the Cattle bill
have caused pain to members, or at least to a
member, of the Legislature. ALI cutices are
not as impervious as that Of the rhinoceros,
and It is rather gratifying than otherwise to
find that some of the men "whee ocupy the
position as legislatures" have not yet reached
that paohydermatous condition when they are
alike insensible to praise or blame. '1egis-
lature" has had his sensibilities touched by
our comments on the Cattle and Sheep bills,
and under the supposition that we have con.
founded the guilty Cattle bill with the inno-
cent Sheep bill, he has sent us an official copy
Of the latter, with touching note which would
do credit to Artemus Ward, assuring us that
'sThair ar no snaix in this" This precious,
but unfortunately anonymous, epistle is too
good to be lost, SO we give it as it was "writ,"
without dotting an or crossing at.
'.it is very PAINFUL Tor men whoe ocupy the
position as L. gislsi ures, the Eronious state
Inepts you men do make in your paper, now
enolose you the Sheep Bill which you would
make the people heleive was the Cattle bill. l

there sheds Erected and are doing business
and onely ask to be Incorporated All Is con-
tained In the last section which plese Read
"MEMBER"
The difference between the Cattle and Sheep
bills appears to be that the first is Senate
and the last House measure. Tho two con-
fict In some degree, as the Cattle bill provides
that all cattle, calves, sheep, and hogs offered
for sale or slaughter in Philadelphia shall be
weighed and inspected at the yard Of Messrs.
Gohl, MoGrath, Hunt Ridgway, while the
Last section of the Sheep bill, to which our
sttention has been specially called by the
above quoted Legislature" is as follows
"That the said SHEEP Brokers' Association a
shall have power 10 and may receive In their
yards aud pens directly. by consignment or
otherwise any number OF sheep and upon

when he was laboriDg under such an unusual
load Of "incapacity," had he not desired to
assure the people Of Greenville that he had
received their support as, step by step, he
had mounted the ladder Of fame. In this
connection be might have taken another
poetical fight, by quoting these lines:-
Alb, who can tell how hard IL is To climb
The steen where Fame's proud temple shines
But-he did not choose TO quote them, aud
therefore there is, perhaps, no good rea-
son why we should do it. But, although
Andrew Johnson did not again avail himself
Of his miraculous escape from bondage 70
banter with the muses., he did something far
more indisoreet. He challenged any and all
oalumniators to place their finger upon single
; stain upon his official character" Permit us
to respond to this challenge by q Shake
epesrian quotstion:-
Do0berry-If you meet thier you may sus-
pect him, py virtue Of your office, 10 ue no true
man: ana, for such kind of men, the less you
NEEDLE or make with them, why, the more Is
Tor your honesty.
shall we not lay hands on him?
'Dogb,fYy-rruly, by your office, you may;
6nt ,hink, they that touch pi.cn will be de
cat whose hands have | ever received
bribeH Whom have betrayed? Whom have
defrsudedH' Verify, there is go much pitch
in thy stains, o Andrew that we prefer TO
take Dogberry's advice, aad not run the risk
Of defement.
But we can pursue this interesting analysis
no further, and must pass in silence the la
mentations of the Great Emancipated over the
unhappy fate of his oountrymen, who pass
into bondage as he passes out. The Union,
the Constitution, the flag, the thirty-seven
stars, liberty, justice, mercy, humanity, and
all that sort OF thing, are in danger, IS we
have been told before, and as we are quite
willing to believe. Not until the world is ut
terly ard entirely rid of such men as Andrew
Johnson will their emancipation be complete,
their safety insured.

The Tenure.Of.Omce Bill.

The Senate yesterday passed, by the decisive
vote Of 81 to Is, substitute for the Tenure
Of Office bill, which is said to be acceptible to
the President and which commanded the
support of nearly all the Republican members.
Il gives to General Grant ample power to re-
move all Objectionable officers, without as
signing cause, during the sessions Of the
Senate, provided that body consents to such
removals, or confirms the appointment of new
officials.
During the recess of the Senate It autho-
rizss the President to suspend civil officers at
his discretion, and to designate persons to fill
the vacancies created, but he is to make new
nominations within thirty days after the
commencement of the next session, and il
the Senate refuses to ratify these nominations,
and to assent to the contemplated suspen-
sions, the deposed officials will regain their
positions.
The principal change effected by this sub
stitute Is, that it relieves the President from
obligation to assign cause for removals, and
IN doing this 1t destroys the feature of the
present law which General Grant has most
strongly condemned. In the conversations
which he is alleged to have held with various
parties, he has dwelt mainly upon the en-
barrassment he felt in finding appropriate
accusations against persons whom he thought
should be renewed, for the good Of the pub
lilo service, but who could not be convicted Of
any serious offense. The proposed law en-
tirely abrogates this necessity, but at the
same time 1t gives the Senate a check
upon the abuse of Presidential power which
Is, we think, fully authorized by the Consti-
tuition, and which may often be found essen
tial to the protection Of the national interests
This plan Of removing the existing difficulty
Is In some respects decidedly better than a
temporary suspension of the present law, for
Il establishes rule of action applicable at all
times TO all administrations, and csnAot be
assailed by the opposition as a mere transient
expedient.
II is reported, however, that the substitute
will encounter bitter hostility in the House,
and that that body will be content with
nothing less than the unconditional repeal of
the existing restrictions. To-day's proceed
ings will probably serve to verify or CONTRA
diot these rumors, and they will therefore at
tract great interest among the immense mass
of politicians who are awaiting with intense
anxiety the dismissal of the obnoxious adhs-
rents of Andrew Johnson.
II 1t Is true that General Grant is satisfied
with the Senate substitute, we see no good
reason why 1t should not command the
approval of the House. The underlying prin-
cipls of the Tenure-of- Office bill has gained
deep hold upon the confidence of the coun-
try, and 1t is desirable that it should be
maintained, in modified form, even under
an administration which has irresistible claims
to public confidence.

The Sheep bill, in a sheepish sort OF wav,
gives certain association the privilege Of
weighing all the sheep brought to this city.
1t makes a private corporation the public
weighmaster, and the certificate of Tom,
Dlok, or Harry, who may happen to do the
weighing, Is made sufficient evidence OF
correctness, without oath or affirmation. The
Cattle bill goes the whole hog, and to the COR
porstors Of the Twelfth aud Sixteeath Streets
Railway is delegated all necessary authority
to extract SO much money from the pockets Of
the meateaters of this city, for every pound
of beef, veal, mutton, and pork brought to
our markets. In spite of the touching epistle
above mentioned by us we cannot concur
with the Legislature" who has taken so
much pains TO instruct us on the subject, in
seeing any virtue in the Sheep bill, and the
only commendation we can bestow is that 1t is
not quite as bad as the Cattle bill.
There has been enough said on this subject,
and II either of these measures is favored by
the Legislature, the members frem this city,
who vote for it, may as well make up
their minds that they win never have an op-
portunity to perpetrate a similar outrage
after the present session.

MARsHALL's ELIXIR.

HEADACHE. DYsPBPsIA. CosrrvsNgss.
No medicine ever placed before the people
has so suddenly grown into popular favor as
MARSHALL'S RLIXIR. II not only cures
the diseases named, but so invigorates and
strengthens the whele nervous system that
these, together with other alarming affections,
are prevented.
AS we'll might we expect darkness to remain
after the rising of the sun, as that these dis
eases will no. disappear after using this
RLIXiR. We claim no merit for It beyond
the good It has already accomplished; neither
do We propose with it to cure all the Ills to
which flesh is heir, but we do assert that for
Headache, Dyspepsia, and Costivsness Il Is
the only radical cure. Bitters and Pills will
fail to cure you; their effects are only tempo
rary and delusive; therefore, before your vital
powers have become weakened by continued
disease, try MARsHALL's ELIXIR. Price

individual, who can doubiP The enormous
Increase Of Offices is already telling on public
spirit and morals, and II seems likely that
Rev. Sidney Smith will be- held prophet, for
forty years sgo he said Of America, speaking
Of her future :--"fhe habit of dealing in large
sums win make the Government careless and
profuse, and the system itself will iafallibly
epgender the base vsTmin OF spies and III
formers, and a still more pestilent race
OF political tools and rstainsrs OF the
mesnest aud most odious description; while
the prodigious patronage which the collecting
OF the splendid revenue will throw into the
hands OF the Government will invest it with
so vast an influence, aud hold cut such means
end temptations to corruption, as all the virtue
and public spirit even OF republicans will be
unable to resist" This was written 10 1920
and 1869 seems 10 be verifying the prediction.

THE BELuIAN RAiLwAYs.-Iu Belgium tue
experiment OF low railroad tariff mas been
tried, ~ d the result is thus spoken OF: The
p-if ciple OF the reduction for the carriage OF
goods in Belgium has beeu TO carry at the
utmost eheapness over the longest distsnoes
The lowering OF the rae per ton over 100 miles
was as much as from lbs o.. TO I2s 3D.. and over

per cent. This was on first class goods. For
second. third. ana fourth. class goods the re-
ductioDs were still greater. Those reductions
commenced In 1856. when the weight carried
was $40. GOO toDs and the receipts 6i6s 2ii. In
1854 25l, 600 tons were carried and the receipts
had nsen 10 G695,2S2 The increase OF tonnage

gian passenger fares were reduced in

lessened In about the same proportion The
entire reduction on the fares for las miles was,

Another measure at the same time adop'ed
was TO allow third class passengers to travel by

- TIE SENTINEL GUARDING THE DUsT.-We
were much pleased yesterday by the inspection
of design for the monument to the Confede-
rate dead Of the Washington Light. Infantry.
It is volunteer design to be offered by our
fellow townsman, John q. Devereux. he has
seized upon that poetic thought Of the gifted
poet priest, Rev. A. J. Ryan, Of "The Sentinel
Guarding the Dust"-one Of The best poems
from his fluent pen. The idea is expressed by
the architect as follows Upon square platform
Of stone, some forty feet across, and approach
ed by flight Of steps from each side. he has
raised temple some fifty two feet high, and Of
octagonal form. The corners Of the square
aro relieved by four nalnaetta trees. to hA- as
natural size, aud enclosed in bslsstered
square, with architectural enrichments sur
rounding and supporting the tree. The temple
will be q magnificent structure in itself, being
an octagon Of unequal sides, with disengaged
columns projecting from the lesser eides, and
raised to height Of twenty feet to the entab-
lature. On thu inner columns is raised q
dome fifteen feet in height, and surmounted
by an equestrian statue of General Pettigrew,
distinguished member OF the corps, who
was killed in the war. The structure thus
raised forms penetralia, in which is placed
q reliquary ON saroophagus OF marble. in
which .he ashes Of the martyred dead are to be
deposited. In each Of the projections or
wings formed by the disenzaeed columns is
placed sentinel in the uniform Of the Wash
ington Light Infantry guarding the dust Of the
dead. Over the sentinel. and surmounting
the wings, are allegnrical figures representing
Fame, History, Fidelity and Hope. On the
ceiling Of the dome, which is divided into
thirty panels, are inscribed the names Of the
members OF the corps, panel being dedicated
to each battle in which the corps was engaged.
The structure is to be OF the Corinthian order
of architecture, and is to be built Of bronze.
We trust that the drawing will be completed in
time for the fair.
