I'll Is STATED that lunatic from AleEan-
dria, Virginia, will soon begin Sergeant
Bates trip through the Northern States with
an uufurled Confederate DAG. Unfortunately
there IL no law to prevent u display Of this
klnd OF lunaey. Bates eudeaVors were In
tended to prove that the lately rebelllous sec
ton OF our common country would tolerate
the display Of the emblem Of generous
aud forgylng Government, the real object
being OF purely political character, It
failed, aud Bates was compelled to call
upon negroes, carpct-baggers, aud scala
wags for food. This new ondeayor 10 In
tended 10 provoke further hostility against

blem OF treason. We sincerely hope, for
tho general good Of all parties, that the
snort viii be abandonedI but II is carried
ont We predict better treatment for the new
fool by hls political enemies than he deserves,
or than Bates received from his political
friends.

President Grant has sent Congress message,
urging that immediate legislation be taken to
fulfil the obligations assumed by the United
9tates with regard to the Canadian fisheries
under the Treaty Of Washington. This treaty
threw the fsheries Of Canada and this country
open to the fshermen OF each country for ten
years, bnt, rs the former arc far more yn1uable
than ours, it bound our Government to pay
balance in faFor Of Great Britain. This
balance is to be determined by commission
ers, one Of whom ia to bo chosen by
the United States, another by Great Britain, and
the third by these two. Whatever the sum they
decide due Great Britain may be, whether fire,
ten, or fifteen millions, we are under the same
obligation to pay it as the British Government
to pay the Geneva award Congress has notyet
taken any Of the stepB necessary to fulfil QUE
part in this agreement, although Great Britain
has done everything that is due from her. We
have used the Treaty Of Washington to win the
Geneva award and the adjudication Of Emperor
William in the San Juan matter, and must not
fail NOW TO meet our responsibilities under it.
II NE expect England to pay the Geneva award
in September, We must not be remiss in our
duties under the treaty.

Tho Republicans in Spain arc not alone il
their troubles. With that peculiar facility for
getting into quarrels which all spaniards seem
to possess, SOME Of the royal claimants arc now
getting by the ears. The latest DEVELOPMENT is q
complete rupture between the Duke de Mont
pe'sier and e1-Queen Isabella. The cause erev
out Of the quarrels between the Queen and her
husband, which the Duke, in letter to Queen
Christina, Isabella's mother, said he regarded az
jeopardizing the dynasty. The Duke, it will be
remembered, belongs to the dynasty by rirtuo
OF marriage with Louise, Iaabella's sister,
Queen Christina called her daughters attention
to the Dukes communication, whereupon Isa-
bella declared she wonld have no further rela-
tions with the Duke, but would reserve her lib
erty to do the best she could for herself and her
son, Aphonso, Prince Of Asturias. Meanwhile,
the only claimant to the throne who seems to
be working with energy ia Don Carlos, who not
only has his adherents under arms, but ia in
Spain himself, directing matters.

The Rev. Thomas Guthrie, who died yesterday,
has long been known for his active beneyolonce,
and the keen controversial part he took in many
Of the ecc1esiastica1 questions Of his DAY. He
was born in 1908, in Breohin, Forfarahire. BE
studied for the ministry, and, after having been
licensed to preach in the Church Of Scotland,
went to Paris to study medicine, in order that
he might be able to care for the bodies as well
az the souls OF his parishioners. He then sought
to acquire knowledge OF business in his
fathers banking house; and, finally, in 1880,
he began to preach in the Parish Of Arbirlot
in his native county. He very aoon removed
to Edinburg: where he has since lived. He vas
one OF those who, with DR.. Chalmers, Cunning
ham, and Candlisb, agitated the non-intrusion
controversy, which ended in the establishment
Of the Free Church, in l843. The poorer classes
Of Edinbu1g have cause to remember him with
gratitude, for the heart-stir1ing appeals which
he made III behalf OF the destitute and aban-
doned children Of the Scottish Capital. This
led, in 1847, to the Inauguration OF tho Edin-
burg Original Ragged or Industrial School.
The works which DR.. Guthrie leages behind him
are "Pleas for Ragged Schools" and Ct Ezekiel,
the Inheritance Of the Saints" He wag for
many years editor Of tho Sunday Magazine.

Yice-Prceident Colfax, and Mr. Brooks, az
Government Director Of the Union Pacific, are
the only two impeachable officers affected BY the
testimony OF the Credit Mobilier Committee.
With regard to these, the Judiciary Committee
OF the Houso report that tho case against Mr.
Brooks fails, as his Office has long since lapsed,
and they question whether Vice-President Colfax
can be impeached for misdemeanors committed
while not in Office. They do not think his own
ership of Credit Mobi1ier stock warrants his i'm
peachment. A minority report by Mr. Goodrich
denies that an officer cannot be impoacled for
ofrenses committed before his official career be-
gan. limo precedent can be found for such q

The Temperance act, which has passed both
Houses OF the Indiana Legislature, and only
awaits the signature of the Governor to become
q law, is but step removed from absolute pro-
hibitiou. Its very first section provides that any
person desiring 3 permit to sell Intoxicating
liquors must present petition signed BY ma
jority Of the legal voters Of. the town
in which he Ives or of the ward in
which he resides, in case of city
organization. The Board of Commissioners
must decide that the petition has been signed
regularly as required, before issuing the permit.
There is little doubt that this provision will
materially decrease tho number Of drinking
saloons in the State, and, in some districts, do
away with them altogether. The applicant must
further furnish g. good bond OF $4,000, which
may be sued upon in any court OF civil jurisdic-
ton, except Justices courts. No permit shall be
granted for longer tenn than one year. In
other particulars the Law is similar to that Of
Ohio. =:

Ihe newly-conycrtad sinner is alwayB the most
enthusiastic for the good cause, and the moat
EindictiVe in his desire for the punishment Of
the obstinate Tecalcitrants. The New York
Times ls an example in point. It has but yery
recently been converted, and, NOW that the
scales have fallen from its eyes, its determina-
tion that the guilty parties implicated in tho
Credit Mobiiiar cozruphons shall be punished 1s
very refreshing. With reference to Credit No.
biier it eayR: TIT Was in fact and intent fraud.
The interest Of the United States, and TINT Of q
minority Of the stockholders, were deliberately
sacrificed to the greed Of Il few men, who pocket
ed the money Of others under falso pretouces.
The Credit Mobilier was swindle, and, il there
is any means for the Government to get back the
property OF the people, We hope Congress Will
adopt it." With reference to those concerned
in its corruptions 1t says: "Ames and Brooks
are looked upon as scape-goats and it is gener-
ally asked why all the other persons i1npIcatcd
in the Credit 1[obi}ier affair should escape j?
Congress has given up almost the entire session
to the investigation of this scandal,-we have
heard OF little else. It will do we'll to finish the
work thoroughly now. Let justice be dono no

conduct Of members does not seem to warrant
