A NEW BODY.

For the first time in years the
National House of Representatives,
is a new body. The members of
the last House who are reelected
number 122, and the list embraces
many who are certainly among the
best informed of our legislators.
or the remaining 10 newly elected
members, 13 have been members of
preceding Houses, and not more
than a dozen others bear names rec-
ognized by the country at large. 1t
is fair at least to assert that there
are $50 members who are altogeth
er inexperienced in national legis-
lation. Hence it will be nothing
more than fair and proper for the
press everywhere to think of that
body in connection with this fact
and to abstain from loading it down
in advance with the errors and short
comings of the last Congress; since
whatever individual members may
have to answer fort is not, as a
body, responsible for either the one
or the other. 1t should be treated
as an organization which has its
record to make, and all censorious
criticism should be withheld until
it shall have comprised itself by its
own acts-which it is sincerely to
be hoped it will not do.

FLoee,Ne IN SCHOOLS.

The New York City Board of Edu-
cation are discussing the propriety
of restoring Aogging in schools. A
committee that had been raised took
the testimony of the teachers, and a
majority testifying in favor of fog
ging the committee reported in fa-
vor of restoring the rod. The Board
are now discussing that report. Two
OF that Board produced each a re-
markable argument in favor of fog
ging. One said he was flogged when
a boy and he now found himself a
member of a Board of Education
Another member said that had it not
been for the foggings he had when
boy he would not have been a
member of that body now. We have
no doubt fiogging was a good thing
for those two men, and have as little
doubt that had they when boys been
sent 70 Reform farm their useful
ness would have been greatly in
creased.

FINANCIAL SCHEMES.

The financial question In Congress
was started in the Senate by the in
PRODUCTION of resolution submitted
by Senator Ferry, of Michigan, pro-
viding for an Investigation of the
question of a new national system of
banking. The following is the full
text:
Resolved, That the Committee on
Finance be instructed to consider
the expediency of providing for a
national system of banking and cur
rency, in lieu of the present one,
which shall embody the substantial
features of the following, to wit:
First-Banking to be open and
free to all, individuals and associa-
tions, without limitation or without
capital. .
Secondly-The maximum curren-
cy circulation to be eight hundred
millions Of dollars, exclusive Of frac
tional, and to be issued and authen-
ticated solely by the Governmental
uniform character, with 'United
States Currency" imprinted on its
facc, made lawful money and legal
tender for all public and private dues
except duty on imports and interest
on the public debt and convertible
on demand into Government bonds
bearing interets at 8 65 100 of one
per centum per annum in currency.
Thirdly-The Government to is
sue bonds stamped'Curreney Bonds
of the denominations of 500 and
multiples, bearing interest at the
rate of 3 65-100 Of one per centum
per annum, convertible into currency
on demand, and to be exempt from
taxation by Federal State, municipal
and local authority.
Fourthly-Substitution of United
States currency for national curren
cy, to be done at the convenience OF
the Government, without diminish
ing the volume of current circulation
and the bonds held for the security
of the national currency to be ad-
justed with the banks by purchase or
surrender. Substitution of United
States currency for other existing
forms in bringing about uniformity
of currency, to likewise be done
without lessening the current circu-
lation.
Fifthly-For immediate relief to
existing monetary stringency, ,thefor-
ty-four Million Treasury reserve to
be issued without delay, in the pur-
chase of Government bonds bearing
the higher rates of interest, and, as
fast as practicable, additional pur-
cl,ases of like bonds to be made with
United States currency, until the
maxium circulation be reached.
Sixthly-Preparatory to with
drawal of the fractional currency, the
Secretary of the Treasury be requir-
ed to make public designation of a
period after which to begin the re-
demption, in silver,of denominations
OF twenty-five cents and under; also
a second period designated at which
to commence like redemption of the
remaining fractional currency then
in circulation, and all, when so re-
deemed, to be destroyed.
And that the committee report at
as early day as practicable by bill
or otherwise.

SURE Be REPEALED.

The people need worry no more
about the increased pay business.
The obnoxious bill is as sure to be
as tomorrow's sun is to
rise. Twenty-one repeal bills
struck the House in forty minutes
Thursday morning, the strife among
the members being to see who
should reap the glory of firing the
fatal shot at the abhorrent law. The
Senate, as is becoming and proper
moves more slowly, but will hardly
have the hardihood to refuse its
compliance if the House replaces the
present salary law with fair and
equitable substitute.

CUBAN AFFAIRS,

The tone of Cuban affairs contin.
ues to improve. Latest advices re-
present Captain General Jovellar at
his post in Havana, and, if his own
story is to be credited, perfect mas
ter of the situation. There is every
reason to believe that the Virginius
will be quietly given 10, and, if that
happens, peaceable settlement OF
the whole difficulty will be practical
ly secured. The prompt manner in
which the war-like propositions of
Cox and Phillips were strangled by
Hale, and Butler, and other old mem
bers of the House, shows that Con-
gress has not lost its head, and will
proceed cautiously.

ADEsERTED WIFE's APPEAL.

Mrs. Ellsworth Upp, of Cynthiana
Pike county Ohio, writes to us that
last March a man calling himself
William H. Black, and claiming to
be a piano and organ tuner, and an
agent of Mr.. Baldwin, the Cincinnati
piano dealer, hired her husbands
light dun mare and buggy from an
other person for three weeks,at So a
day, Mr.. Upp accompanied him. Since
then neither OF the men has been
seen or heard from. A letter sent to
Mr.. Baldwin developed the fact that
the man was an impostor. He is de-
scribed as q small man, with black
hair and eyes, and crippled in the
back and one leg, but a skillful
pc former on musical instruments.
Mr.. Upp is also small Of stuture, has
black hair and eyes, an impeachment
in his speech, and can neither read
nor write. His wife is confident
that he has been murdered by Black.
She is very poor, and much distres-
sed, and would be thankful to any
paper which may copy the present
paragraph.-Cincinnati Gazette.

A CLEVER RusE.

Vice President Wilson has con-
cluded to stop awhile with the fami-
ly of Representative Hooper on II.
treet instead of taking his rooms at
once in the Washington House. He
does this, it is said, to avoid office
seekers, opportunities. When they
thin our pretty well he will resume
his old quarters at the hotel.

sIoRMs.

The storms of last week were wide
spread, and much damage done in
many places. Ohio and Indiana suf-
fered the most. Buildings we're blown
down and trees uprooted. A heavy
hurricane passed over parts of Ten
nessee doing much damage. At De-
troit a good deal of injury was done
to Shipping. At Toledo building
six hundred feet long eighty-fve
wide was demolished. At Buffalo
the water in the lake rose higher
than for twenty years. Stores and
houses In the lower part Of the city
were flooded.

BLAMEWORTHY,

The statements made by the cap.
tain of the Loch Erne bear with
great severity on the captain and
crew of the Vile du Havre. If they
are true-and circumstances indi
cate that they are-a-more gross and
cowardly desertion of posts in time
of danger seldom occurs, and great
er inhumanity is not often reported.
Had they stuck by those whom it
was their first duty to look out for
they might have lost their lives, but
they would at lest have saved their
honor. Such poltrooney as they ex
hibited deserves a heavier punish
ment than it is likely to receive. The
captain steamer may be suspended
for time. That will probably be
the extent ofthe judgment meted out
against him.

A HAPPY OMEN.

The novelty of beholding the ex-
Vice President of the Southern Con
federacy occupying a seat in Con-
gress having somewhat subsidized, the
logical results to follow from such
leniency on the part of the govern
ment, snd the almost universal con,
clusion is that it makes very i'm
portant period in the history Of the
United States, viz; the gradual break.
ing down of sectional prejudice en-
gendered by the late strife between
the North and South. The South
ern members are especially pleased
with the magnanimity displayed by
the Republican party in greeting a
representative Sourthern man like
Alexander II. Stephens so cordially

The Altoona Tribune, say: A man
named John Groves went out hun
ting in Clearfeld townships Cambria
county, one day last week. During
his travels, he came across the cub
of bear, which h-he slot at and
wounded, The ~ sat q terrific howl
and presently tie m6kher bear made
her appeatance on the scene of ac-
tion. True to her maternal instincts
she attacked the man with great fer
ocity, and a struggle for life or death
ensued. Groves was powerful man
but he proved unable to cope with
the vicious brute. He was thrown
to the ground, and-horrible to re-
iate-was absolutely torn to pieces.
The only eyewitness of the dread
full scene, a companion and friend
of Groves, escaped like fate only
through sudden and precipitate
fight.
Hon James Monroe has again
brought up his bill IN Congress pro-
viding for the issue of $25,000,O0O
of additional bank notes for circula.
tion in the States having less than
their due proportion. This is de
signed particularly for the relief of
the Western and Southern States.
The latist official reports from the
European Syndicate are to the effect
that the business of placing the new
United States five per cent. bonds
has been brisker, and the closing up
of subscriptions more rapid and sat
isfactory, since the financial panic in |
this country began than prior to that
time.
1t is the Spanish slave holders of
