The value of the mule, is mostly
on account Of his patience and docil-
ity, BE will work quietly any
place, is not liable to balk and run
away, and can be left without hitch
ing. Wherever we find the same
qualities in a class of large and pow
erful horses, the mule is seldom seen.
But go into our Southern States,
where the hot-headed, and impatient
race horse, has received almost ex-
elusive attention, and where the
blood and mental qualities, have been
to a greater or less degree, infused
into the entire equine race, making
them worthless for slow heavy labor,
and where they have not even at
tempted to produce practical work
horse, you will find that yankee
invention" called the mule, and no
doubt, he would be found in the
Conestoga valley had not the SEN
sible Swiss found all his good quail
tiles IN a noble class of work hor-
Sos.
There are those who will object
to so large work horse, as here de-
scribed, probably, because they have
never owned such; but where ia the
farmer that has such who will ex-
change them for smaller ones or say
they are too large. We believe that
such a class is, and will continue to
be, the most serviceabIe and salea-
bic, and will prove to be the ''com-
ing' horse. = rEr.

A woman's paper published in
Tennessee endeavors to put in prac-
tice some of its own principles by
graduating It's terms of subscription
thus: ''rhree dollars year to
men, $3.50 to unmarried workingwo-
men, seventy-6ve cents to women
with lazy husbands to support. -
The discouragement to men involved
in these terms is all right, but the
premium put upon lazy husbands
doesn't seem to be just the thing
Who would not have lazy husband
to support if she could thereby OBJ
tain all the benefits of this woman's
paper for seventy-f re cents?

Minister Schenck telegraphs that
Earl Granville, in his note to Secre-
tary Fish, argues the Alabama ques-
ton deliberately, but he gives no idea
of what it contains. In the absence
of this information, the administra-
tion advances no theories as to the
result of the negotiation. The i'm
preston is that Earl Granville and
Fish look upon time as a general
pacifcator. The State Department
will send to the American agent and
counsel, at Paris, in day or twoY a
printed statement of the private
claims against England on account
of rebel privateers; claims for direct
and actual losses. They amount to
about nineteen millions; over six
millions more are charged for deten-
ton of vessels, loss of prospective
freights and mercantile profits, with
other consequential damages.

We think they arc Of = character
which cannot easily be passed over, and
we call upon Congress to investigate

the truth, and the whole truth, has been
made known. Not that we have any
doubt upon the subject; the results Of
the Custom House investigation in this
city prove that the present Admins

Dare the Radicals Investigate !
From the New York Sun

The Republican majority in Congress
have hitherto declined to take any &C
ton respecting the alleged deficit Of six
million dollars, or Whereabouts, in the
stamp account of the Internal Revenue
Bureau. 1t is alleged that six millions,
or thereabouts, in stamps have been
issued for which the Treasury has not
received the money; but no proposal
has yet been made in either House of
Congress to investigate this subject. 1t
is true that three years ago Senator
Buckalew, Of Pennsylvania, offered a
resolution, which was unanimously
agreed to in the Senate, requesting the
President 10 furnish a full report OF the
facts respecting this subject but it is
also true that the very next day Sena.
tor Conkling, of New York, rnovedthat
this resolution be rescinded, and that
the President be requested to return il
to the Senate. Senator Buckalew is not
now in the Senate, and no member Of
either House has yet moved toward the
investigation OF this important subject
But however great the reluctance o.

Terrorism In Arkansas.

A very pretty idea of the way Arksn.
sas is governed may be gathered from
the fact that the Legislature, instead
of naming sum certain, appropriates
in general terms ga sufficient sum to
pay all necessary expenses incurred in
printing for the State" and that the
Chief Justice of the Supreme Court
does that printing at cost something
over three times as much as the entire
expense of the State Government prior
to the war. The chief organizer OF the
system of which this is q specimen is
that devoted Administration hench-
man, Senator, late Governor, Clayton,
of Arkansas. For tho fraud by which
he secruedehis seat this fellow was in

Schurz Makes the Administration Fur
FLY.

The speech of Senator Schurz, on the
Goth, may be safely ranked, from the
summary that is furnished by tele-
graph, as one of the greatest forensic
efforts of the past decade. 1t was es-
sentially statesmanlike, being predi-
Gated on a careful and comprehensive
collation. Of facts, which were presented
and generalized with great skill and
vigor. 1t was aided by the contrast
with the pet&ifogging littleness
which has characterized the remarks
of the Administration Senators on this
subject, but on its own merits
as an eloquent and dignifed ar
raignment Of dangerous and disgraceful
abuses of Governmental authority it
cannot fail to command the attention
and admiration of the non.federal.of-
ficeholding people Of this country. 1t
must have been singing reminder to
Mr.. Morton of the esteem in which he
is held since he became the Senatorial
shyster of the Administration that the
galleries were vacated as soon as he un-
dertook to reply.
