and royalty at ono and the same time, had the
opportunity on Sunday by attendance at the
Church of Epiphany, in company with Arthur
Patrick Albert, third son and sixth child OF
her Royal Majesty, Queen Victoria. The little
boys " ho cast a look upon His Royal High
ness were rather disappointed that he had no
crown on and wore no uniform Those of us
who were older, and sorry TO see in his coun-
lenance that animal look, that distinguished all
the Georges, and that has made the males of
the House of Hanover so coarse and sensual.
Prince Arthur dressd like n young gentleman
who had plenty of money and tailor Of good
taste. He wore blask kat, black frock coat
with velvet collar, dark pants and vest and
fawn-colored gloves At the expiration of the
religious services the organist played "God
save the Queen" which thought savored full
as much of fiattery as of religion.
Chief Justice Chase is considered to have
done himself great eredst by writing his letter
to the doubtful Republicans of the Ohio Legis-
lIture urging them TO vote for the 18th Amend
ment All of Mr. Chase's hopes of political
prcferment rest on the Democratic party yet
he here opposes the Democratic idea that the
negro is an inferior animal and unworthy of
caste. Amid Mr. Chasc's political tergiversa-
tons this advice, so injurious to his political
prospects, should be remembered to his credit.

The House continued The discussion of the
18th Amendment Wednesday with an evening
session. Thursday was occupied in the same
manner most of the time being given to the
opposition. As the hour of 4 p. m. came, when
the vote was to he taken, we could see that it
was the intention of the opponents TO prevent
vote 1t was finally openly avOwed, that
such was their intention, and that no vote
should be taken thereon, until the contested
seats were disposed Of Parr of Licking Co.,
Being The chairman Of the committee of the
whole House, refused to see or recognize any
one on the Republican side, AT this time the
excitement became intense. And now Il mo
ton to take recess, then to adjourn, then tc
rise and report, and ask leave to sit again, were
successfully voted down. 1t now became t
matter of speculation, us well as of earnest in
quiry, how the question was to be got out OF
the committee. AS the democrats by theii
strategy, still held the floor, which was occu-
pied by Ball of Muskingum. AT last demo
crat from Wayne Co., moved that the commit

of Lorain, moved the previous question. Thi

could be had, one on the substitute of Mr.
D"dds, which was lost, by a vote of 55 to 81
1t was now past nine o'clock, and the ilous
was crowded, with IN anxious and expectan
audience, all OF whom were hushcd TO silence
by the importance of the question, as the cerl
in his harsh voice, proceeded to call the yea
and nays on the passage of the amendment -
At its conclusion the speaker announced that
"thc resolution having received the constitr
tional majority, majority of all the members
elected to the House, is declared passed"

Too much credit cannot be given to Messrs
Bates, Cunningham, Kleinschmdt aud Ill., TO
the part they have taken in this impOrtan
matter. There is no doubt that Bates was of
icrcd one thousand dollars If he would vot

other three, will 10 what they consider right
