verse ReDOrt to Abbott

There is considerable interest manifested
in the case of ex-senator Abbott, of North
Carolina, who claims the seal in the Sen
ate to which Ex-Governor Vance was
elected, but pronounced ineligible. The
committee have acted adversely upon
Abbott's claim, but tomorrow Senator
Carpenter will present a strong minority
report, signed by himself AID Senator Rice,
declaring Abbott entitled to the seat, and
will ask for its consideration early next
week. 1t is claimed that a large
number of the Senators will slIs-
tain that report. In the committee there
was about an equal division Of sentiment
before Morton changed base, and it was
thought favorable report would be made,
but Anthony not voting at all, and Morton
voting against him, the majority report was
adverse to Abbott. When the matter comes
up for final consideration an interesting dis
cussion will take place, as it is known that
the Senators are about equally divided up
on the question. A number of prominent
Republicans from North Carolina arrived
here this evening to further the interests of
Abbott. They claim that unless he gets
the seat that State will be lost to Grant in
the coming fall misunderstanding Dis

Shakspeare's Garden.

Shaksreare's adInirers-in other words
every human being with the smallest spark
of poetry in his sOul--will be delighted to
learn that the poets garden at New Place,
Stratford-upon Avon, is now open to the
public. 1t is an otfshOot Of the Garrick null
berry tree. The house in which Shakespeare
died was pulled down by some ignorant van
dial years ago, but the foundations have been
laid bare, 50 as to give the visitors some idea
of its size. In one part Of the grounds stood
a dingy old theatre. This had been pur-
chased and pulled down, the site being re-
stored to the garden, now pretty much the
same as when Shakespeare owned il. The
old theatre being destroyed, the question has
now been raised. shall the town in which
Shakespeare was born, and in which he died,
be without building wherein the creations
Of his genius may be represented? Mr..
Charles Flower has undertaken to give two
acres Of land on the banks Of the Avon, and
within sight of Stratford church, provided the
sum can be raised to build new theatre.
1t is suggested that the lessee of every thea
ire in Great Britain and America shall de-
vote the proceeds of special performance on
Shakspeare's birthday, April 20, 1873, to this
purpose.-Loadon Correspondence Of HON,

Money fn Politics.

Horace Greeley, in one Of his Pennsyl-
vania speeches, denounced the use of none y
at elections, and insulted the people of North
Carolina and Maine by the assertion that
they were bought up. In 1868 Horace Gree
ley was member of the Republican National
Committee. He then offered resolution
that not less than e430, 900 should be raised
for election purpose, and assigned the quota
of contributions to be made to each Of eight
States. And now he prates about the use
of money at elections! There are prevalent
upon this subject the most mistaken an ex-
aggerated notions. Money is undoubtedly
raised and used for election purposes by all
parties. Meetings cannot be held, torch.
light professions got up, banners raised or
canvasses made without money. Halls must
be hired, platforms built, printing and adver-
Using bills paid, and the expenses of speak.
ers paid. In some cases the speakers them.
selves require to be paid literally. This was
the case with Carl Schurz in 1868, and we
presume is so now. But the amounts raised
are greatly exaggerated by the party press
and common opinion. Thus, though Mr.
Greeley called, in 1868, for $40 900, the sum
actually raised did not amount to STAG, OO0
During the present campaign money is also
being raised by both parties, but we venture
to assert that neither party has sent to any
Of the States in which elections have taken
place anything like the amount of money
which has been reported. We also believe
that the Greeleyites sent twice as much
money to North Carolina and Maine the
present year as did the Republicans.
The Greeleyites are so hard up for money
that they are promising offices as an induce
ment to people to subscribe. This is very
much like the bonds of the Southern Con.
federacy, payable thirty days after the recos
milton of its independence.

The Use OCthe Check.Rein.

We copy from the "I.ondon Horse Book, !"
the following sensible advice, upon subject
which, (none too soon,) is attracting the at
tention of our horse owners and drivers. In
alluding to the misuse of the check-rein, the
"London Horse Book" says:
"The horse is often prevented from throw
| ing his weight into the collar by q tight
brance, introduced by vanity, and retained
by thoughtlessness, amounting to cruelty.
Few of the London cab-drivers use check
| reins, knowing them to be inconsistent with
proper work, and, when one is observed, it
will, invariably, be found to be on some poor
animal, whose wearied and haggard appear
ance is attempted to be disguised by this
implement of torture.
The check-rein is, in nearly every case,
painful to the animal and useless to the
driver, because, it fastens the head in an
unnatural posture, and, as the horses shout
der and head fall together, cannot be of any
real support in case of stumbling.
When, from some defect in the animal, or
| other cause, tho check-rein is used, it must
| be slaCkened, because, in addition to the
ecsier position Of the neck, greater portion
Of weight can be thrown into the collar, cspe-
cially going up hill, thus saving a great and
unnecessary expenditure of muscular power.
There is an important difference between a
tight check-rein, and frightened rein, al
| though not generally understood. The first
| is injurious, and cannot help the horse, while
the latter is often useful, because the latter
is steady support to the animals head, from
distinct and intelligent source-the driver !;
whereas, the former is only the horses head
fastened to his own shoulders. That the
check-rein is inconsistent with the action of
the horses head, is clearly shown by the
fact that when Il horse falls it is always
brOken.'
We have, long since, discarded the use of
tight check-rein for our working teams, and
only use them in moving and other opera
tons, to prevent the horse from putting his
head down to eat, and then we only use it
tight enough for the purpose named. The
absence of the rein must, certainly, be great
relief TO a Woodworking animal, and, after
all, the beauty of the thing is only conven-
tiona. If check-reins were never used, we
would then think the constrained position of
the animals head anything but beautiful.
Like other things, it is but governed by fash
ion, and if the fashion of doing without them
is only adopted, it will be good thing.

The CrittenGen EeS0lutiOns-isT
Wade Relates their History.

Hon. Benjamin T. Wade, in a speech at
Xeria, Ohio, on Thursday, gave tho follow
ing history Of the attempt to pass the Crit
tcnden resolutions:
just before the war broke out, when we
were all in such commotion in Washington
city; when Congress was almost on the eve
of personal fights every day, Mr.. Crittenden
was supposed to have gotten up, a set of
resolutions. He was supposed to, but he
didn't get them up. l was on that commit
tee of thirteen, and know how it was done.
There were all the leading men of the scces-
sion party there. There was Mr.. Davis,
Mr.. Toombs, Mr.. Hunter, Mr.. Mason, Mr..
Sldell, and some others. On the other hand
there were few Republicans, and ! hap
pened to be one Of them. MIR. Davis and the
others would write resolutions every day and
mako Mr.. Crittenden father them These
resolutions were perfectly destructive of the
| rights of the free States; resolutions of
| compromise that, if we had agreed to them,
would have placed the party of the North as
hewers Of wood and drawers of water, for
ever under the heel of the slave power, and
the colored man would have been retained in
resolutions. They made the greatest effort,
think, that over was made in the Senate OF
the United States. The wealthy men OF
New York city, of Boston, Of Philadelphia
and Cincinnati, and of all the principal cities
of the country came to try to force Congress
to pass these resolutions. Well, that wa.
not enough. The Governors Of the States,
without consulting the people at all, ap.
pointed their delegates to meet at Washing.
ton city, and get up a set Of resolutions to
overawe Congress and compel them to take
this dose. You remember-some of you, |
know. Well, they met there. The resolutions
were brought into the Senate. They got up
reel just as you have seen for fish-nets
They were put there, and when these old
Conservatives from abroad sat all around
outside tho Senators, il was 80 full you
could hardly turn round. 1t was solemn
scene. The petitions that were sent in were
as grave as q funeral sermon, every one OF
them. Mr.. Crittenden would occasion.
ally pull down one from this reel, and he
would read, and would wipe his eyes, and
cry, and then the g hunkers" all around
would cry. Well, twas the gloomiest tins
I ever saw. I have been to great many
funerals Of respected and regretted men, but
] never saw solemnity equal to that. II

This comes from Washington, under date

Quite scene occurred at the White House
to-day during the parting call made by the
Teeton Sioux on the President. Medicine
Bear, their chief, before opening his big talk
with General Grant, laid his calumet on the
mantel removed his feather head-dress and
proceeded to strip himself, to the no small
establishment of the pale faces present. After
divesting himself of his neither garment, he
advanced towards the President, and, hold
inc his feather head-dress aloft, was about
to put it over the Great Fathers head, when
General Cowan took hold of it, and placing
it OIL chair, told Medicine Bear through
the interpreter, that the Great Father would
not wear it Just then, but would accept it as
a proof Of his (Mcdicine Bear's) good will
The chief designed it as a marked token OF
good will. The delegation expressed them
selves satisfied with the fulfillment Of the
promises made by General Cowan.
