vi Iooei luminosity. Inc adoption
OF Blngham's amendment, he held,
would be the death-knell to the
Republican party in every South
ern State, because, unless pru-
IDENTIFY curtailed, the rebel infiu-
ence would practically nulify the
new State constitutions, and set
at naught the benifcent measures
of Congressional legislation. He
favored the amendment suggested
by Drake to require military in
teryention for the suppression of
secret organizations, and denoun-
ced the organized system of out.
rage, arson and murder, now prev
alent in the late rebellious States.
This State of things showed fulfill
ty OF attempting to establish civil
government there. It had been
argued here that this organized
resistance to the laws arose from
the stringency of the reconstruc
ton measures. His answer was,
that like powers had been delegat-
ed to commanders of military de-
partments throughoutthe country
and that the condition of the
South was wholly exceptional.
The Senator from Massachusetts,
Wilson, had estimated the mum
Der of men murdered there since
the surrender would exceed the
mortality list of any engagement
during the war. This estimate
was very moderate. On his own
belief there was not less than ten
thousand loyal persons in the
South who have ceased to live,
simply because they were loyal to
their country. The practical ope-
ration of the Bingham amend,
ment would secure to the rebel
element the remodeling of the
State constitutions, and the late
rebel States would, in 1872, again
be found rallying around the ma
tional Democratic party, which
would never outlive the odium of
the total abandonment of the
colored race in the South, and it
was too late to revise its record in
behalf of that people. Ifnot sup
ported by the national Govern
ment, the colored loyalists in the
South would surely bite the dust
He could not live there. He
Hamilton--for one, if the princi-
pie of Bingham's amendment pre-
vailed, would not dare return to
his own community. He did not
believe any active Republican
would dare live there. He knew
the people there; he was born and
raised among them, had lived all
his life among them, and they
were the most blood thirsty set of
cut threats God had ever permit
ted on his foOtstool. Gov. Bullock,
of Ca, and General Clark, of Tex
as, shook hands with Hamilton on
his conclusion.

DEAR CHRONICLE:-ThrOugh the me-
dunn of your paper, Iperceive those who
get certificates are not any more satisfied
than those who do not. Asthis is an age
of progress, only a few certificates were
allowed; consequently those who were
sharp enough to procure one, demand
good wages. IT, ]. and Bann, do not a
cy ''boarding round, sleeping in damp
beds, eating boiled suppers," &c, &c,
why not get into some other business,
where they can have peace and ease? 1t
was Mr.. Bann that suggested the idea
that boiled suppers were not healthful
perhaps he INDUCED too frequently in
them while under his parental roof, and
was astonished when he got from home
that theywould persist in placing a "boil-
ed supper before Mr.. Bann, the teacher
From the number of applicants last fall,
we are well aware that there are many
who are willing to undergo the damaging
nuisances above mentioned. Imagine
J.. and Bann saving, mo, no; persons
that can not get certificates, are not capa-
bic of teaching Well 1 know of some
persons that were capable of getting GER
tificates, that were not capable of teach
ing a common district school. There has
been a number of terms of school thrown
AWAY in our town, On good certificates
and poor teaching. 1 know that there
are many who will join me and say it is
truly a truth. Let me ask ]. and Bann,
in all good humor, if they have been wise
and careful in all respects in regard TO
their health? if they nave not been out
to evening parties, OF later than l o'clock?
Perhaps there are more reasons than one
why some folks enjoy magnificent
colds 80 ifnot, L say it is too bad thatthey
are compelled to sleep in "damp beds"

There is at Zenia, o., an Institution
called the Ohio Soldiers Orphans Home

In September last 1 addressed a circu-

MiS.StAtpment.

Mr. EDIToR:-1n the last issue of the
CHRONICLE, 1 notice an article signed
&C. in which the writer gives a detailed
report of a parting benefit for the
scholars, teachers and friends of the
Presbyterian Sabbath School at Church
Hill. So far as Cs article relates to the
doings and results of the 'parting bene-
it," L have nc criticisms to offer at
present, but in his closing paragraph,
c. says: "a similar entertainment was
held in the Methodist church, on Christ
mas eve, at which Rev. Ely, pastor of
church, also received a Christmas gift to
the amount of So"
HC. is a reader of the CHRONICLE, he
must have known that a detailed report
of the christmas tree and entertainment
in the NJ. E. Church, had been already
published; and that in the report it is
stated, ''that Rev. Ely, pastor, received
SIS in greenbacks, a barrel of nice
apples, n several smaller but valuable
presents"
1 refer to that closing paragraph in Cs
article for two reasons. First, his slight
reference to the entertainment in the NJ.
+. Church, was intended to leave the
impression that it was a meager affair
compared with the parting benefit at
the Presbyterian church. Second, this
wrong statement as to the amount of
Rev. Ely's gifts, contradictS the report
as before published by "E," and does
injustice to the liberal friends who got
up the entertainment at the NJ. L.
Church. "HOnor to whom. honor is
due" 1t is now quite generally con-
coded that the NJ. Z. Church occupies
the advance line in all such exhibitions
of liberality and wholesome entertain
ments. But while they have the adj
vance and are ready to push forward in
all good works, calculated to elevate the
tone OF public morals, and bless the
rising generations; they are perfectly
willing that others should follow in their
wake, and if possible, emulate their eN-
ample and efforts for good.
In the report by 'E,' the amount of
presents to the scholars of the NJ. E.
Sunday School was not mentioned, nor
can / state the exact number or value of
such presents. But there was one feat
ure relating to the gifts for the children,
that ought to be mentioned. In addi-
ton TO the gifts furnished by each teach
er for their respective classes, Zenas
Kline, superintendent of the School,
presented each scholar with n nice hymn
book, worth from 65 to so cents each,
according to the size of book. More
than 10 books were thus distributed,
worth over $50.
1t was also stated in the report by E,
that the value of gifts on the tree was
S729,I5. 1t has since been ascertained
that several gifts were overlooked in
making up the value, which added to
the above amount, would swell it to
owe $50. Pretty well for a small socie-
ty in a country town. Beat it, Who can?

CB1CAGOLIYE STOCK MARKET.

BEEF CATTLE-The cattle market was
fairly active to-day, butlOwer prices prevail
ed. This result was due, partly to the Eber-
al receipts, n the prospect Of continued
liberal arrivals during the remainder Of the
week, and partly to the poorer quality Of the
stock marketed. Strictly choice smooth, fat
steers were wanted on New York, Boston,
and Albany account, and would have COM
manded outside quotations readily but not
a "hoofi of this description offered. Sales
for the day reached l,925 head, at a range of
S3,50G4,O for common mixed lots, embracing
poor cows, ''scrawny' steers, coarse bOny
oxen, stays. bulls and light thin heifers;
S,265,5 for common to good butchers
stock; S5,j066,0 for medium to fair steers,
and at S6.2597,25 for good to prime steers
The Eastern markets have a rather unfa-
vorable look, and, SHOULD to-morrOw's re-
ceipt be large, il is not improbable that pri-
ces will still further recede. The following
