Mungen on Sumner.

The Washington correspondent of the N. Y.
World says:
General Mungen, of Ohio, has received a
large number otapplicationsfr from Massachusetts
for his speech on the mental and physical de-
formities of Sumner, and it is said that Con-
sressnan l'awes called attention to it In order
that his home people might learn more of his
Senatorial colleague lh Voa
Poor Sumner is catching it on all sides, and
will soon be reduced to a pitiable condition.
He had better hire himself TO the Sultan OF
Turkey to take charge OF the ruyal harem. g

Nothing could illustrate more emphatically
the hopeless aud besotted prejudice, injustice
and partisan bigotry of the Ruling Party in
Congress, than the disposition that has been
made of the Virginia Representatives upon the
House Committees. 10 Porter, the late hero
of the chain gang in Norfolk, a foul-mouthed,
ood-rhirsty and implacable Radical, is award
ed place on the Reconstruction Committee

cept the Committee on Wayaand Means. =
There is in this one act an implied but most
torcible avowal, that Porters theory OF Recon
struc,ion. aad the methods he advocates OF
dealing with the whites of the South, are those
which meet the approval of the majority in

Southern delegation In Congress, is consigned

1t seems to us that there Is tut one course to
be pursued in our case. and that is to look our
actual condition fairly in the face. We are
poor, and we are in debt We must be honest,
even when honesty costs. five have the means
to pay our debts, we are bound to pay them,
and TO pay speedily, unless our creditors volun.
tariIy give to us farther accommodations. AL
this may be very hard upon US, but putting of
the day of payment is not payment and the
day Of payment, when it does come, will, in all
probability, fnd US in a worse condition than
now, unless the postponement is in consequences
of reasonable prospect of an improvement In
our finances. gs-. .o taa
We sincerely believe. therefore, that the reme-
dy for each individual is not 10 Legislative enact
ments, but in personal efforts to pay as far as
we can and to obtain voluntary accommodation
from his creditor, to enable him to pay the bal
ance in future The honest and earnest efforts
of the debtor will almost certainly be met In a
liberal spirit Of accommodation by the creditor;
and, every paying debtor will help to make an
other. so that each succeeding week payments
will be found to be more easily and readily made.

RAILROAD OFFICE REMOVALS.

The Proposed Removal of the Pennsylvania
Railway OGces-The Lehigh Valley Railroad
Company To Occupy the Old Location-Inte-
resting Particulars.
The Pennsylvania Railroad Company will in a
few weeks abandon their fine Office building at
the corner of Third street and Vikings alley for
another and still finer one, at the corner of
Fourth street and Vikings alley.
When the Pennsylvania Railroad Company
built the building that 1t now occupies, only a
few years ago, 1t was supposed that it had
ample Office accommodation for all time; but it
has spread so wonderfully in acquiring control
of the Fort Wayne, the Northern Central, the
Philadelphia and Erie, the Elmira, the Cum
berland Valley, and some half dozen other
smaller railroads, together with the Pennsylva-
mia and Wyoming Canals, that its present &C
commodations are far short of what is required
by its army of clerks with their immense folios
of accounts.
To meet the increasing wants, the larger
building on Fourth street was projected, which
will soon be completed. Possession will be OBJ
tanned some time in the fall, and the company
will then Immediately remove. The new
building is larger and superior in every way to
the old, and is better adapted in every particu-
lar to the wants of the company. The Lehigh
Valley Railroad has bought the old building on
Third street, and will take possession as soon
as the Pennsylvania evacuates the premises.
The accounts of the Lehigh Valley Company
have, for the last two or three years, been a
good deal scattered-some of them in this city,
some at Mauch Chunk, some at Bethlehem, and
some, more recently, at Wilkesbarre. 1t is
greatly to be desired to have them all centred at
one point, which may be done when the COM
pany comes into the possession of its purchase.
Though the trade of the Lehigh Valley Railroad
is not in scope and magnitude equal to that of
the Pennsylvania road, it is nevertheless very
large and growing steadily.
Its main and lateral roads now traverse the
entire Lehigh coal region, touching almost every
coal mine worked in it, and is gradually stretch
ing its rails in tortuous course into the Schuyl-
kill region, threatening the Reading Railroad
Company with competition for the coal freight
from the more northern mines of that prolific
field. The new office accommodations of the
company will be a great convenience to the
public in the transaction Of business.
