SOME persons are always cOntendiDg
that our present age is the most corrupt
and demoralized in history. We hear
them grumbling about our Congress being
composed of inferior men and its proceed
ings as being conducted without decorum.
Every heated debate in the House or want
of dignity in Senators, they regard as a
frightful picture of degeneracy. When
we come, hewever, to compare our Con-
gress with other representative bodies, we
find their criticisms unjust. Thus, Miss
Kate Field, in recent London letter to
the Tribune, gives us a scene in the Eng
lish House of Commons in the re-
cent exciting debate on the Dilkes
reform movement. She says that while
Sir Chas. Dilke's colleague, Mr.. Herbert,
was addressing the Speaker, the utmost
confusion and disorder prevailed in the
House. Some members mimicked Mr..
Herbert with cat-cries, others howled, still
others yelled and screamed, so that it was
for the time being i'll q perfect uproar-a
regular bedlam-mOre like an unruly town
meeting than the deliberative body of the
great British nation. No such disgraceful
scene ever occurred in our Congress. They
seem to occur in London and are not un-
frequent in Versailles.

DANA, in the New York Sun, charged
Secretary Robson with frauds and irreg-
ularities in the Navy Department in the
payment of claim known as the Secor
claim. An investigating committee was
ordered. 1t has heard Dana and his proof
and Secretary Robeson's statement. Mr..
Greeley, not very favorable to the Admin
istration as most everybody now knows,
pronounces the Secretary's defense salts
factory and plain.
This is another of the frauds trumped
up against the Administration and like the
French arms scandal, falls completely to
the ground upon investigation. 1t is easy
enough to make charges but not so easy, it
seems, to make the proof.

THE Louisville Couricr-JOunaL, in no.
ticing the opposition of the Weather coun-
ties of Kentucky to the common school
law, says very forcibly: 1.-THE educational
system is regarded by them as a State
charity. The great fact that it is part of
the public policy is overlooked. The State
is a corporate body, and the prosperity of
the body depends upon the health of the
separate members or units which compose
it. If one suffers, all suffer together. If
one is honored, all are honored together.
The elevation of one section retieXes ben
eft upon every other section. We must
educate men for our political protection.
The Ignorant are the many. The majori-
ty hold the reigns of government. Intel
hgence and morality must be made so gen.
eral that the majority may have those vir-
tues ana endowments upon which the
perpetulty of free government depends"
The COurier-JOurnuL takes the proper
view of this important subject We think.
it is just as much the duty of the State to
educate its citizens as it is to provide at the
public expense Courts for adjudication of
private disputes and for the protection of
society against crime. The education of
the people prevents crime, pauperism and
misery, just as certainly as courts prevent
parties from resorting to force and violence
as means for settling private disputes, or
just as certainly as they prevent mob vio-
lence and general anarchy.
To look upon public schools as charity
schools is folly. 1t is capable of demon
stration that the people, by union and Or
ganization, can secure better and cheaper
education, than by expanding theirmoney
on private tutors or schools. It is there
fore just as good policy for the public to
unite and educate their children together

The colored people of New York had an
imposing celebration in that city on the
ID inst. The Post says of it,
Every man in the ranks was we'll dressed
in black, with plain white shirt bosom,
white gloves and glossy hat. Several four
finland coaches followed the saloon men,
containing prominent colored citizens.
Then came a furniture wagon, also drawn
by four horses, draped in the national
coIors, and containing fifteen young color
ed girls, fourteen of whom were dressed III
blue, and the fifteenth in white and blue,
with cornet of white flowers. The last
young lady was supposed to represent the
GODDESS of Liberty, and waved her hand
kerchief gracefully to the delight of the
spectators.
The total number of men i'll line was
about two thousand, and their general ap-
pearance was highly creditable. twas al
SO a noticeable fact that the spectators were
decent and orderly, and widely different
from the crowd which followed the st. Pat

The line of march was through Waverly

Fifth avenue, Thirty-fourth street, Madi-

RISING SUN ITEMS.

FIre.-On Monday last the barn of John
Brown, situated few miles above here,
was burned to the ground together with
grain and hay; fortunately his stock and
carriage had been taken out that morning.
Mr.. 3. was absent at the time. 1t was evi
IDENTIFY set on fire either accidentally or by
design. The locomotive has ignited the
grass along the Railroad near here several
times, requiring considerable effort to save
fences, buildings, &c.
Jhcff.-On Friday last our borough was
quite excited over the arrest, trial and COM
mitment to Jail, OF Thomas Grier and
.trchy Dick and wife, for robbing tie store
Of James S. Nickle at Corner Ketch,' a
few nights before. The stolen property
was mostly recovered at Dicks, buried in
the barnyard.
WoCing Oh tho 25th was quite the rage
here, but now most Of the changers are
getting settled down. So much attachment
hardly tear themselves away.
Circus.-On Thursday of last week, our
borough was again excited by the arrival
Of the elephants camels, vans, wagons,
ponies, and g larned mule belonging to
Forepargh's Mcnagerie ana Circus. They
pitched tier tegtg and tarried all night,
but not to exhibit the '.animi,as.t:

NEW LEEDS ITEMS.

Railroad up the Little Elh Creek.-This
snhject has made some stir of late, and
awakened considerable interest. 1t is pro-
posed to run it from the depot, at Elkton,
up the Little Elk Creek, to intersect the
railroad from Wilmington to Peach Bot
tom, and across the Susquehanna to the
Hanover junction, on the Northern Cen
trail Road. The paper manufacturing
interests ON the Little Elk, is connected
with heavy capital, and would be greatly
benefited by the proposed road and may
take hold in earnest. Money is the essen
tial element in such an enterprise. From
the survey of the Plank Road in 1854 it
appears that the ascent from the railroad
at Elkton to the State line near Lcwisville,
is $40 feet, or about 45 feet per mile, the
distance being eight and one-third miles.
But the ground at Lewisvile is much
higher than the Little Elk at Gibson S
Mill, and the grade would be less than 40
feet per mile.
Or for tile Wcst-Several of our neigh
bors have gone to locate in the neighbor,
hood of Pittsburg. Christopher Ward and
James Fulton went some moths ago; and
last week John Hall and family started for
the same destination. This week William
Ward and wife have gone. Mr. Ward is
now over eighty years Of age, and his
wife is not much younger. He is native
of the county, and spent most of his days
in the neighborheod of Elkton, he raised
family of eleven children, of whom nine
are living. His son Joshua and n-in-law,
George Booth, are in the dairy business
near Pittsburg, where the old gentleman
and lady 60 to spend the balance of their
days.
Singular Coincidsncd.-Twenty years ago
this Spring, Daniel J. McCauley, native
OF this neighborhood, left here for Balti-
more county, where he has since resided
Within five days of the same time, another
citizen of the county, Mr.. Jordan, left the
neighborhood of Dysant's (and also located
in Baltimore county. Since the fall cleo
ton, they met at Towsontown, and quail
fled as County Commissioners of Baltimore
county. 1t is rather singular that two of
our old citizens should be chosen to manage
the financial affairs of the richest county in
the State a county whose asseSsable prop
erty amounts to nearly fifty millions of
dollars. When Mr. McCauley, closes his
present term, he will have served ten years
as County Commissioner of Baltimore
county.
