The CLOSING HOURS of the session in the
House Of Representatives yesterday we're
devoted by Butler and Farnsworth to a char
acteristic purpose. Butler attempted TO
show that he was not blackguard, as charged
against him by garrulous old Garrett Davis,
but unhappily thought it necessary, in SO
doing, to prove that almost everybody else
was blackguard. Farnsworth, who appears
to think that he was sent to Congress for the
express and solitary purpose Of worrying
Butler, INDUCED in the same line Of talk, but
succeeded only in confusing Butler with his
brother-in-law. Beck the lively Kentucky
Democrat, likewise participated in the melee,
and proved that Southern Democratic virtue
of the old-fashioned ante-bellum type is not
extinct. And finally, just before the Speak
er's hammer fell and the session was ad-
journed without day, Sunset Cox expressed a
desire to have the coroner called in. IF the
coroner could be called in to hold an in
quest on Butler and Farnsworth, it would
be a good thing for Congress and the Repub-
ican party. These two worthless are getting
monotonous. Butler may not be an honest
man, and Farnsworth may not be a white
man, but a coroner's jury, the people begin
to think, would be the best authority to in
quire into and settle the matter.

COUNCILS yesterday determined 20 appro
pirate the Spring Garden Hall property, at
the corner of Thirteenth and Spring Garden
streets, to the purposes of the Girls Normal
School The present building will either be
extensively altered or else torn down and a
new one erected. It is most probable that
new structure will be put up, as the present
one is not adapted to the uses of the school,
and the alterations required are so many that
it will most likely be considered advantageous
to erect an entirely new building with all the
modern improvements. The present Normal
School building in Sergeant street is noto-
riously inadequate, and better accommo-
dations should have been provided
long ago. The Boys High School has
been accommodated in an elegant and COM
modious edifce upon our noblest thorough
fare for many years, and it is not creditable
that the girls school, which is of equal
Importance, should have been up to the
present time confined to the dingy and in
commodious structure on Sergeant street The
location of Spring Garden Hall is an excel
lent one for the Girls Normal School; and
whether the present building is retained or
new one erected, it is to be hoped that the
necessary work will be completed at as early
day as is possible, in order that the school
may have the benefit of the change without
farther delay.

The Amnesty Bill.

An effort has been made in the Senate TO in
troduce measure of generan amnesty in favor
Of those who were engaged in the rebellion,
which was negatived by a vote of2O to 10
II is reported that some of the speeches delv-
cred against that measure were very violent,
and that of CHANDLER, of Michigan, was char
ncterized by Oiscenfty. From such a man we
may expect but little beside obscenity and bit
terness, and it may indeed be deemed sad mis-
fortune when men of his stamp coutrolin. any
sense the legislation of the nation.
W ithout for a moment extenuating the guilt
of rebellion, or forgettngthe terrible sacrifice of
life and of property it has eutailed, yetwe would
frankly ask of what prac ical value are those
measur es which are designed to restrict those
who originated thu rebellion, in the exerc sc of
the rights of citizenship? Simply none at all.
Had tlose leaders been hung or banished from
the land when arrested in the act of rebellion,
Justice would hav been meted to them, but now
when the majesty of the law has, been vindicated'
and the grand old flag waves over all, and pro-
tscts air itis the height of folly and impolicy
10 attempt coercion with the myFiads who occu-
cupy the Southern States, and who most GER
tAinly will control the governments of those
States. So far from this system of prescription
and coercion checking disorder and outrage, it
may be deemed as the handspring and origin of
them. The instincts of the Southern people lead
them to cherish the very same spirit which is
manifested toward them. If that policy is tinct-
ured with arrogance and hostility, then the spirit
of insubordination and retaliation will be sure to
prevail, and thus, instead of possessing in com
mon the spirit OF national unity and patriotism,
we shall have two antagonstic elements in the
lau one arrogant in the exercise of its power
and the other vindictve in resenting its author
ity.
The encorc ,mant ofciyil disabilities by coei-
sive laws, never can operate bencicaly there

we shall earnestly urge their abrogation. II

'The President. to-day, upon demand of Rep

Mr.. Peck, however. insisted and claimed the
changes as his right, at the Salne time denying
all charges made against him.
DR.. Peck's denial is entitled to the entire conf

for thirty-five years and by whom he has always

The systom OF National Taxation.

We are very much gratifed to perceive that
our national Legislators are looking towards a
modification Of the system of taxation. Senator
SHERMAN has offered resolution for the ap-
pointment Of a committee who, in the interval Of
the adjournment of Congress, are to examine the
system oftaxation now prevailing under the tar
iff and the Internal Revenue System and to re
port a bill for its modification. This is a right
step in the advance and we really hope there
will be no sham play in the case. The present
system is both oppressive and unjust in its
bearings on the masses Of working people who,
either directly or indirectly pay two-thrds of the
national taxes. 1t is certainly high time for our
legislators to be adopting measures by which
property may contribute its fair quota OF taxes
n support Of the government. With this object
before them and to accomplish this end, we hope
the committee will thoroughly examine the pre4
ent system, and propose such amendments of it
may rest on justice and equity.

The Improvements in knitting machines 10
the last thirty years, as In other departments Of
mechanical invention, have been marvellous.
Baiiey's. ola machine is now valuable only To-
the antiquarian. Lees machine, after which
Bailey modelled, was at best clumsy, compli-
Gated, and expensive affair, and in converting
y into power frame, It was not improved in
this regard.
Among the later inventions, which have super
seeded all others, might be mentioned The Lamb
Knitting Machine The Lamb Machine, patented
September Is, 1858, has taken the first premium,
over all competitors, up to the present time.
II Is constructed on an entirely new principle,
which, by its completeness and perfect simplic-
ily, has produced revolution iu the art of
knitting by Machinery. 1t is the only machine
that sets up its own work without casting on
the stitches" by hand; narrows and widens
without removing needles knits regular heel !;
narrows of the toe complete knits a stocking
of any size or in the same length Of tins or
the double, ribbed, or fancy fat webs. II thus
produces many beautiful stitches and garments
no other kntter Is capable VI, combining In a
single machine greater capacity and speed than
belong to all other knitters.

Charles Reado enjoys peculiar distinction
among authors. There is not, probably, another
writer OF fiction in the world whose work would
have such popular value in this country as To
induce large publishing house to produce il in
instalments three weeks after the same chapters
have been published by another. We saw this
done in the case Of Dickens Edwin Drood,"
for which Messrs. James r. Osgood Co.,
made an arrangement similar to that under
which they are now publishing "a Terrible
Temptation; but. after Dickens, Charlse Reade
is alone equal IN supplying such an indictment.
1t is no less credIable to the literarlY morality
than to the enterprise of the house Of James Il.
Osgoud & CO., that those publishers offer a
standing rebuke to the prevailing American sin
of piracy. BY paying Mr.. Reade large sum
for advance sheets Of his new novel, they afford
an honest remuneration to the author, and at
same time are able 10 present il to the American
public fresh, and three weeks in advance Of its
arrival in this country in any other form. There
IS no doubt that this enterprise pays for, aside
from the public appreciation Of fair dealing,
MIR. Seade's fiction excites so ravenous an APP
petite in its readers that no who gets it fresh
in EVERY SATURDAY will be content to await
its slower pratical publication elsswheTs.-

ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its usc. Nothing can restore the
hair where the follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling the hair with q pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not harm it. If wanted
