SENSIBLE SUMNER.

At the opening of Congress on Monday,
Mr.. Sumner introduced bill TO strike
from the United States flags and army
registers all record of battles fought with
our fellow-citizens. This is a sensible
move, and is in accordance with Mr.. Sum
ner's opinions long ago expressed, Years
ago a proposition was made, in the interest
of some painter probably, to paint pictures
Of the battles for the pannels of the Capt.
tol. Mr.. Sumner denounced it and killed
it. He said he did not wish to live to look
upon a picture commemorating strife be-
tween his own countrymen. There can be
no doubt that the quickest road to recon
citation and fraternal feeling between all
our people is the one where no monument
and pictures and other devices are found
10 harrow up the feelings of the vanquished
Let the pages of history alone commem
crate the great mistake they made, anC
record the result as a warning to all whC
may, in the future, attempt, without ade
quate reason, to divide tine Union. Mr.
| Sumner is right

The remains were at the house of his
partner, Mr.. Sinclair, on Monday, but
were removed to the City Hall, where they
lie in state, for the people 10 view. Among
the throng which gathered at Mr.. Sin

dead friend, was large number Of colored
people. They were sadly disappointed be-
cause they could not be admitted, but they
will have ample opportunity at the City
Hall The funeral will be on Wednesday
from DIR, Chapin's Universalist) Church.
Throughout the United States, and the
civilized word, notice is everywhere taken
OF the demise of this great and good
man. In almost all the churches it is
alluded to; nearly all public bodies pass
resolutions in regard to it; and every.
where there is universal and unaffected
sorrow for the loss of Mr.. Greeley. High
tributes are everywhere paid to his virtues
and good qualities, and deep regrets ex
pressed for his death. In Congress, th'
chaplain, in the opening prayer, alluded Il
the death of Mr.. Greeley as that of on
whose wise pen had given direction to pub
lie thought, and who had been a benefac
tor Of mankind.

INTO Our HANDs-The recent decis-
lon of Judge Upton, of the Mclean
County Circuit Court, is one Of much in
terest in regard to the right of this City to
control its own levee Judge Upton held.
that 'the people, in creating corporations,
and vesting them with chartered privileges,
parted with none of the sovereign rights
which inhere in all governments, to protect
itself and the governed from abuses, extos-a
tions or unjust determinations on the part
of its own creatures. This is exactly into
the hands of the people of this City. The
ferry company claim that the People did,
in granting its charter, part with the right
to protect its own levee from injury or
abuse, or destruction. Judge Upton says
this is a right the People cannot part with.
And the people of this City claim that the
right to regulate the landing Of boats,
wharfs, floats, etc., granted in our City
Charter is paramount to any other char
ter, aud cannot be taken away from them.
The ferry company insists on squatting in
the middle of our steamboat landing, leav-
ing too little room above or below Wash
ington street for the natural traffic of the
river trade and boats. The City demands
that the ferry shall land lower down, il
order to leave our natural steamboat land
ing unobstructed and free, instead of cut
ting it in two and making it too small a
both ends. The city ordered the ferr!
boat down to its proper landing, wher'
some 81, 900 had been expended to make {
good and convenient and easy landing
The ferry company defes the authority o
the people and persists in its attempts b
render worthless our natural river trad
and landing. We are glad to see this de
cision of Judge Upton for we believe !
will help clear the way to proper decis
ion Of the case the ferry company persist

THE CULTURE OF THE HAIR. Just rs
surely as soil infested with Canadian

Al that is necessary to effect the change
in either case is the right kind of fertih-
zer. Leaving the agricultural chemists to
