action of the House of Representatives DUR
ing the early part Of last week, which we
publish below. that this meritorious act is
about to be contaminated. Apart from the
religious views of the recipients of this pro-
posed bounty, but resting exclusively upon
its own merits. no right>minded man will
interpose an objection. Il is well for the
Sisters of M ercy Of Charleston that Congress
does not contain majority Of men imbued
with the same liberal and tolerant spirit to-
wards their order as has recently been dis
played by the Harrisburg correspondent of
the Blair County Radical. If that were so,
the rank weeds and the tangled grass would
grow on the site where once stood the hap
Ply home of the orphans of Charleston.
Mr. Dawes, from the Committee on Appro-
priations. reported bill appropriating twenty
thousand dollars to the Sisters of our Lady of
purpose of rebuilding their orphans asylum,
in consideration of services rendered by those
sisters to sick and wounded Union officers and
soldiers while that city was under lombard
ment during the war, the money to be expend-
ed under the direction of Sister ri. Xavier.
Mr.. Benjamin made the point of order that
as the bill made an appropriation 1t must be
first considered in committee of the whole.
The Speaker sustained the point OF order.
Mr.. Dawes moved to suspend the rules to
have it considered in the House and passed.
The rules were suspended and the bill passed
yeas ITO, nays 46.

HUSBAND AND WIFE AS WITNESSES. =
The Philadelphia Ledger says an interest
ing question was raised in the Nisi Prius,
before Justice Read, during the progress Of
a trial. For the defense, Mr.. Clayton called
to the wisness stand the wife of the defend
ant, claiming to examine her under the au-
thority conferred by the act of Assembly of
April 1869. Mr.. Samuel G Perkins, for the
plaintiff, objected to the examination of the
wife.
Justice Read left the Court, and after con-
ferring with the Judges of the Supreme
Court, returned and said l have consulted
my brethren in the other room. and find
that the Chief Justice, last week, admitted
a husband TO testify for a wife, and upon the
general understanding of the Court, we
think that wife is competent witness for
the husband, and the husband a competent
witness for the wife. But when put upon
the stand, although she is put there by her
husband. she becomes general witness,
and may be examined about anything that
has relation to the case.

WE are indebted to De Haven & Brother,
Philadelphia, for copy of the Omaha Herald
of March II. from which we extract the fol-
lowing :-Phild. Inquirer, 26h.
The Union Pacific Railroad has won q
lasting triumph in having operated thous-
and miles of line during the unprecedented
storm of the last three days, without suffer-
ing serious obstruction from snow on any
part of it. This is the crowning victory of
the continental railway as a winter line, and
not only dispels, finally and forever, the
popular error concerning the mountain snow
fall, but settles the case of malignant rivals
and enemies who have claimed for years
that it could not be operated in winter. 1t
was a writer in the Edinburg ReUielo who
based his main argument in favor of rival
English line from Vancouver through Ru-
pert's Land to Hudsop's Bay upon the
broad assertion that the Union Pacific
could not be operated in winter. 1t is not
a year since Horace Greely argued.for gigan-
tic subsidies to the Fremont project upon
the same ground, while all the small fry,
croakers of high and low degree, have made
the country ring again with upanswerabe
clamor to the same effect.
The experience of single winter has set
tied the great question triumphautly for the
great road. The late storm. following upon
several Others of singular severity, put it to
final test, and it comes out of it on the
closing day Of the most violent, long contin-
ued and drifting storm which this country
has ever known, with clear track from
Omaha to Ogden. In no case has a single
train beed blocked by snow. Some OF them
have lost time, bat all Of them have been
kept moving. and no such thing as block
ade has occurred on any part Of this thous-
and miles of liLe. Such victory over false
hood and clamor, and indeed over all other
roads in the latitude, is glorious and crown.
ing one to the Union Pacific, and gives
abundant cause for congratulating the man
agement and the Company upon results
which are worth millions of dollars to the
road an2 the country it traverses.
While every connecting Eastern road is
buried in snow and blockaded, the mails
from the East being at this writing three
days behind time, those from the West ar
rive with uninterrupted regularity from as
far west as California.
1t would be unjust not to mention in this
connection the, forecast, energy and skill
with which the Union Pacific has been pro-
tected against snow distractions at its most
vulnel able points, and too much credit can
not be awarded to Col. Hammond. Mr.. Mead,
and the management generally. upon results
vi hich prove the Union Pacific the best win
ter route in the same latitude in the United
States.

A SAD SToRY.-A Hartford paper says ::
"a sad story of broken home has recently
been brought to light in this city. A few
years ago Mr.. and Mrs. Mich'l BRASIL, living
on Russell street, were happy and united
couple. having five children. The father
was good workman. in the employ of the
Hartford & New Haven Railroad Company,
but some time ago became dissipated and
lost his place. Soon after the mother took
to drink then two children died; another
fractured hip, causing permanent lame
ness, and still another became involved in
crime and was sent to the Reform School,
Last Friday the youngest child was found
dead in bed by the side of its drunken moth
er. The eldest daughter, returning from
school, first made the terrible discovery.
The father, who was working in Middle
town, was telegraphed for, but nothing was
heard from him until last.evening. when be
was arrested by the police for drunkenness.
The mother did not recover from her stupor
till Sunday, and then found that kind
friends had buried her child. The father is
still in the station house. The mother is
nearly crazy, and the entire family is broken
up."

As : sIIGET EVIDENCE of the novel system
Of legislation prevailing at Harrisburg and
known as cutting across lots" it may be
stated that one Adsire. (not Robin. but Ais
exander,) who represents one of the Radical
districts of Philadelphia, has recently intro
ducsd plain and straightforward resolution
in the House to strike the word "fChitc'
from the third article of the Constitution.
This is worthy of Sir Boyle Roach and would
be very convenient if it only had the merit
of being legal but Adaire has failed to see
in his ignorance that he has butted his lead
en- head straight against the Constitution
itself. If such silly proposition, or one
equally as absurd had been offered in Leg
islature of one of the reconstructed States,
by = carpet-bagger, or even by negro. it
would not have excited special wonder. But
coming as it does from leading member of
the party in the "loyal North" that arro-
gates to itself all lac brains and intelligence
of the country, it creates imr1oderate laugh
ter and at the same time deep humiliation.
Long live the immortal Alexander Adaire Of
happy memory.

GLhOn and Geary.

When D.. John w. Gihon, the private
secretary OF John W. Geary. was about to
become the editor of new Radical paper at
Harrisburg, he addressed a letter to him
whose legs are riddled with rebel bullets, re-
signing his position, in which letter he ex-
pressed the most uubounded faith in Geary' 5
patriotism, as well as in his personal and
official integrity. GihSn hands Gesry over
to the glorious uncertainties Of the political
future, with the following confident predic-
tion
"Your past record is auspicious of higher
honors that a,rait you"
To all of which the hero, vino fought above
the clouds, and who was the one and ever
present terror Of Stcnewall Jackson, approx
insly and hopefully replies in the manner
following:
You have expressed kind wishes that
may yet be the recipient of higher honors, in
schich Imost heartily JoiS you. if can only
obtain them by more efficient and faithful
discharge Of the duties of my present posi-
tion.n
Does this hearty rejoinder on the part Of
Geary point to a seat in the United States
Senate, or to the White House2 Geary IS
vaultiug ambition will yet overleap itself.
When the auspicious time comes for such
q pretender in craftsmanship to be placed
on his proper, normal political level. his de-
scent from his present elevated position will
be as sudden as it viii prove to be disastrous
to all his hopes of future political prefer
ment. Great will be the fan thereof.

THAT baref and infamous swindle.
Bates Military History, once more floats to
the surface, notwithstanding the summary
disposition which was made of it at the last
session of the Legislature. The plainly ex-
pressed hostility of that body to this plum
deriug scheme has 10 terrors for the enter
prising Bates, as it seems be has been work
ing up the job during the last year, without
the shadow of legislative authority. Only
a few days ago Radical member of the
House offered a resolution distributing to
each member OF the Legislature t,centy fire
copies of this literary trash, the cost of print
ing and binding each volume net to exceed
three dollars and seventy-6ve cents. This
neat little operation would abstract from the
State treasury the sum of nine thousand +,
three handred and serenty. .fue dollars. This
is fair specimen Of Radical economy. Of
all the corrupt schemes that have brought
deep disgrace on the Legislature for the last
ten years, we DO not remember one which
has been SO absolutely iniquitous as this.
Nothing but itself could be its own parallel.

great they were obliged TO send out two

car the second had four coaches, three
baggage cars, and two sleeping cars. Busi-

The PoPE's INFALLIBILITY-THE New
ARTICLE.-The following is the full text of
the additional article to the Schenaata de6n-
ing Papal infalliblity:
."Chapter TO be added to the decree on the Su-
premacy Of the Roman Pontif.. stating that
the Roman Pontif cannot err IN the detfni-
milton Of matters Of faith and morals
"The Holy Roman Church possesses the
highest and complete supremacy and pre-
dominance over the whole of the Catholic
Church, which she truly and humbly recog-
nizes to have received with the fulness of
power from the Lord Himself, through St.
Peter, prince of Apostles, whose successor is
the Roman Pontiff. And as she is bound to
defend before Others the truth of the faith
SO also any questions which may arise re-
gard;ug faith must be defined by her iudg-
ment; because. moreover, the words of our
Lord Jesus Christ, saying. Thou art Peter.
&C., are not to be passed over These
words have been confirmed by subsequent
events, for the Catholic religion has ever been
celebrated. in the Apostolic See.
"Hence we teach, with the approval of
the Holy Council, and define as a dogma of
faith, that by the Divine assistance the Ro-
man Pontitf, OF whom, in the person of St.
Peter, it has likewise been said by our Lord
Jesus Christ, i have prayed for thee,' &C.,
cannot err when, acting as the highest teach
er OF all Christians, he authoritively defines
what should be adhered to by the whole
Church In matters of faith and morals /; and
that this prerogative of the incapability to
err. or infallibility of the Church.
"If any one should resume to contradict
this. our definition, which may God avert.
lot him know that he thereby falls away
from the truth of the faith"

KEEPING? LENT AND HEALTH-Dr. wv.
w. Hall, the publisher of hall's Journal of
Health, in his recently published and most
excellent work on 'sHealth and Good Liv-
ing" has the following on the physical benz
efits of keeping Lent strictly, without the
dispensation usually granted:
If all persons for month in early spring
were to abstain from all meats whatsoever,
as the spirit of the doctrine of Lent requires.
it would add greatly to the health of CONS
munities by enabling the system to throw
off the impurities of the body acquired by
the hearty eating of winter, would cool off
the heated blood, and thus destroy the germs
of spring and summer disease and thus it
is that the proper practice of the precepts
of religion promotes not only the spiritual
but the physical health of man. These are
simple measures they are practicable, cost
no money, and are available to all and if
needed in a rational manner. death would
be kept from many dwelling, and lifetime
sorrows would be lightened to many bosoms.

QUEER EXPERIENCE OF GERMAN.-The
Milwaukee Wisconsin relates the adventures
of German in that city, who seems to have
had a rather singular experience. AS a
train of fiat cars was moving out at the rate
of five miles an hour, he attempted to jump
aboard but fell on the track. The first wheel
struck his head and pushed it off against the
snow, but turned his legs across the rail-
The next wheel pushed the legs off and
turned the head on again, and in this way
he kept spinning around like top, until
the whole train had passed. Some specta-
tors ran to the spot, expecting to find a
mutiated corpse, but found Instead dis
gusted Teuton. He said he thought he was
under the train about three quarters of an
hour; that at first he expected every wheel
would cut off his head or legs. but he got
accustomed to it. and concluded there was
no danger. Through all his horizontal SOM
ersanlts, he clung to mis- cigar, an instance
of devotion to the weed under adverse cir
cumstances, which would be hard to match.
