then resumed the consideration of the
legislative Appropriation bill.
The House passed a bill giving boun-
ty OF 500 to soldiers, aud their widows
and orphans, who cnllsted on or before
the 9Th of August, 1861. a bill was also
passed extending the pension to United

the Committee on Ways and Means,
spoke strongly against the bill, saying
that the estimate ofpublic expenditures,

the House had added large sums by bills
already passed, swelling the total to

degraded journalism.

1t would be laugnaDie were IL not pit
liable to see the subserviency of certain
Republican newspapers to "the party"
and "the party's" chief. No royalists
could be more eager to assert that "the
King can do no wrong" than are these
"free and independent" journals to pro-
claim the inviolabe correctness of the
President and his advisers. Prominent
among such papers in this State are the
Pittsburg Times and the Scranton Re.
publican. To them all things which
bear not the "image and superscription
of Cesar" are base and fraudulent. The
: latter in lengthy editorial under the
caption Of" Traitor in the Camp as.
sails Senator SchurZ in manner not
more remarkable for its vindictiveness
than for its sincorrectness. 1t states that
Schurz is an acknowledged traitor to
the nation" and that "under the sever
est pressure" he has confessed himself
as such. Both of these statements are
untrue: Mr.. Schurz is no traitor unless
honest and earnest efforts to expose cor
ruption and fraud render man trai.
tor. The "severest pressure" of the de.
bate in the Senate was felt, we fancy,by
Messrs. Conkling, Morton and others,
who writhed under the "pressure" of
facts adduced by the Missouri Senator
The Republicans twaddle concerning
Mr.. Schurz's allegiance to the Empe-
ror of Germany will convince no one
out of its own Office and it Is doubtful
whether it has much weight even there.
Another charge against Mr.. Schurz is
that ''his ambition for years was to get
into the United esSenate." This is
a grievous crime and one to which Mr..
Schurz may perhaps plead guilty. But
when we consider that he is the ablest
debater in that body, fearless cham
plon ofright, an unhesitating exposer
of fraud, and of such steadfast courage
that even Mr.. Grants henchmen by
cries of "chains and Bastile" could
not alright him, we are disposed to
think that the country may forgive him
for occupying seat in the Senate which
might have been filled by Nye, a Har.
len or Carpenter. The day has gone
by when the people Of this country can
be terrified by menaces or convinced
by threats. They have seen too many
abuses laid bare and have known too
much rascality in high places to frown
down a prominent man for asserting
that more yet exists. The onl y defence
the administration has is to prove Itself
guiltless; none other is possible. Mr..
Grants friends would help his cause bet
ter by inviting than by resisting inves-
tigation. Injudicious advisers, and
blind partisans like the Republican, can
not see this, but it is none the less true.
II we were an adherent of the Admin
istration wing of the Republican party
we could echo with all fervency the
closing sentence of the Republicans ed.
itorial. Fortunately there are not
many Schurzs in the country" Aye,
fortunate indeed il is for Mr.. Grant
and his followers, that there are so few
Were there more Schurzs there would
speedily be fewer Grauts, Porters and
Dents in office and much honesty would
prevail where now but little or none
can be found. And for such changes

When the Senate of Louisiana, at
New Orleans, adjourned Thursday
night, Lieut.. Gov. Pinchbeck, being
called upon for speech ,said:-"I thank
you for your courtesy in requesting me
to address you, but regret that the
implied complimentto me can not with
any justice or honesty be returned. This
is the worst Legislature, In my opinion,
that ever assembled, and none can
feel more rejoiced than do that its ses-

The Cincinnati Convention.

From its beginning the Republican |
party has persistcntly contcnded that
only such measures as originated with |
itself could prove of lasting benefit to
the country and as persistently decried |
not only those things which were, in
however remote degree, attributable to
Democrats, but also those advocated by
its own members when such members
presumed to act independently. No
abuse was deemed too severe, no oblo-
guy too damning to pour on the heads
of those whose sense of honor or whose
love Of justice impelled them TO act as
their conscience babe them free from
party dictation. Those Republicans
who voted against the conviction of
Mr.. johnson In the impeachment Trial
were vililied and traduced in an outra.
geous manner and n repetition of this
.unmanly and indecent treatment is now
offered as regards Mr.. Greeley, Gov.
Brown, and Senators Schurz, Sumner
aud Trumbull, whose sole offense con-
sists of an in-bility to see any of the
qualifications of President in the pres
ent Chief Magistrate, and of an unwil-
lingness to subordinate their honest
convictions to party necessities.
1t is not to be supposed therefore that
this arrogant party can look with favor
upon the Convention of Liberal Repub.
licans to be held iu Cincinnati in May
next. But from present indications
this Convention bids fair to be large
one and composed of men of ability,
whose influence is great and whose
opinions are of value. The following
letter from Horace Greeley explains its.
elf and is proof, that one prominent
man at least takes more than passing
interest in the matter:
NEW YORK, February 20, 1872.
"DEAR SIR IL am not for Grant If there is any
"Send all you can 10 Cincinnati Convention, and
yourself Neto York t0iil be largely represent
Yours, ,, Horace GREELEY.
Other public men have strongly ex-
pressed their opposition to Grants re-
nomination and it is probable that the
Conveution is TO them matter of as
much moment as to Mr.. Greeley. In
the event of Grants success at the Phil
sadelphia Convention it becomes a mat
ter of interest to the Democrats as to
what position these anti. Grant men will
assume. Some of them have avowed
their intention of not voting for Grant
under any circumstances. What will
they do? A judicious selection of a
Presidential ticket on the part of the
Democrats would undoubtedly rally to
its support many of these dissatisfied
. Republicans. There was never time
when so much depended upon careful
and discriminating choice, and it is to
be hoped that personal preferences and
geographical claims may give way to
an earnest determination to choose can
didates whose character and ability no
man can question.

A LOCK OF HAIR Few things in this
weary world are so delightful as keep
sakes Nor DO they ever, to our hearts
at least, nor to our eye, lose their tender

if they be dead No thought is, so insup-

once laughed and sang and wept 10 US,
close to our side, or in our very arms, is
as if her arms, is if as her smile, her voice,

Ofall keepsakes, memorials, relics, most

better than any picture,--lt is part of
the beloved object herself; it belonged

SHARP TRICK OFALUNATIC.

The Albany Times, of Friday,
contains this:
Mr.. George w. Hoxsie, the wor-
thy overseer of the poor in this city,
started yesterday morning for Pough~
keepsie. having in charge Dennis r.
Sheridan, a young man who few
years ago graduated with high hon
ors at the Albany law school, but
recently became insane. The parties
being we'll acquainted, they chatted
pleasantly on the way. Shortly
after starting, Mr.. Sheridan asked
Hoxsie what it was that ratified in
his pocket, and was answered pair
Of hand-cuffs. Mr.. Sheridan asked
to see them, looked at them, and
quitely pocketed them. After short
time Sheridan said
''Mr. Hoxsie, you know [ am a
lawyer; let me look at the commit
ment you have for me, and | will tell
you if it is legal" Mr.. Boxsie COM
piled with the request, and after due
examination. the document was de-
posted in the pocket of the insane
man. Just before Poughkeepsie was
reached Sheridan remarked to Mr..
Hoxsie that they might as well go
through to New York, an arrange
ment which, of course, the overseer
of the poor conId not see. Upon
reaching the platform at Poughkeep-
sic, Sheridan surprised Mr.. Hoxsie
by saying.
''You had better go your way, and
I will go mine.''
''Oh, no." said Mr.. Hoxsie, ''you
must go with me-" and suiting the
action to the words he seized Sheri-
dan. The latter, in turn, seized
Hoxsie, and called for the assistance
of the by SANDERS, exhibiting his
commitment and handouts, and sta
ting that ''this man (Hoxsie) is in
sane and wants to get away"
Mr.. Hoxsie stated to the crowd
that he was overseer of the poor of
Albany county, when Sheridan said:
'That won't do-you tried that
game BEFORE" The sympathise Of
the crowd were evidently with Sher-
idan, and Mr.. Hoxsie was in a pre-
dicament, when fortunately for him
a hackman, whom Mr.. Hoxsie had
engaged short time since to take a
lunatic to the asylum, recognized
him; the true state of affairs was
then made known, and Sheridan was
bundled into hack and lodged in
the asylum.
