Brooks and Ames
who were interested in the question had
voted.
The Speaker asked Speer to state why
these gentlemen should not vote.
Mr.. Speer gave as his reason that the fact
that the report of the Judiciary Committee
was to the right and power of the House to
expel these members, and they were voting
to postponement of the resolution to q
day certain.
Mr.. Hosr remarked that the same poi n.
would apply to the gentleman from Penn
sylyania himself and to every member of
the House.
The Speaker took the same view, and
oVerruled the point Of order.
Mr.. HOar then desired as a question of
privilege to offer resolution on the sub
iect of the Congressional Printer having
declined and refused to obey an order of
the House, made last Saturday, for reprint
ing the testimony Of thes Wilson Commit
tee, but Mr.. Banks made the point of order
that it was net question of privilege
which could take precedence of other i'm
portant questions in waiting, questions Exc

though it was privileged question it was
not question of privilege,

The Woodruff.

Mrs Victoria Woodruff lectured in
Chicago few evenings since, and the
Chicago Tribune thus compliments
her efforts:
'The lecture consisted of q ram
pant denunciation of the law courts
of the country, and a rambling ac-
cusation. of a number of prominent
diyines and laymen, who were charged
with secret indulgences in the free
love doctrines of which she is the
ayowed apostle. Had her lecture
been couched in terms of common
decency, her charges might have pro
duced an effect upon her audience,
who were inclined to regard with ia
vor some of the exposures she claimed
to make. But hen -<~1guage was so
coarse, filthy and blasphemous, that
it shocked even those of her auditors
who applauded her condemnation Of
prominent men. Had she merely re-
iterated the article for which she was
arrested, there would have been an
excuse, but her talk last evening was
absolutely 50 nasty, that not a single
phrase could be found in it which
respectable journal would wish to
publish. And yet her audience ire
quently applauded her, and laughed
with unrestrained freedom at her
coarsest tests"

The Price of Tyne.

Messrs. Geo. P Rowen L Co., announce
that they have at their warehouse in New
York an assortment of type from one of the
most celebrated foundries in the world, that
of Higgins, London. England, which they
will sell at 20 per cent. discount from the
American scale, when ordered in fonts of
100 pounds and upwards. They also offer
to import large fonts on special orders at
greater discount from the American scale,
and profess to be able to fill the largest or
der in eight weeks from date of its receipt
in New York. They supply sorts in large
or small quantities from their stock on hand
in New York. at the American scale rate.
They assert that if the present duty on type
shall be removed, the price of the article,
both of home and foreign manufacture, will
immediately fall 40 per cent. below the
present scale. Messrs Geo. P. Rowell &
Co. are well known as large advertising
agents, and are also extensive dealers in
printing material. They assert that they
are compelled to import foreign goods be-
cause American founders, governed by
close corporation or ring, keep the price
vastly too high, and at the same time make
it an exception to every other species of
merchandise by recognizing no wholesale
price; the same amount per pound being
charged to the purchaser of five thousand
pounds as would be paid by him who wants
but fifty.

Portsmouth is on a new railroad
canter This time it is a revival of
the Portsmouth and Pound Gap en-
terprise, which has slumbered since
1866. Recently the incorporators
met at Springville, opposite Ports
mouth, where they elected R. Bell,
Col Bolles, Thos. Dugan, J. W. Full
ton, Henry Kinney and somebody
from Kentucky, Drectors.-Stoc to
the amount of $4,000 was then taken
to begin with. The road will com
mence near the mouth of Tygart's
creek, opposite Portsmouth, crossing
the Great Eastern Kentucky railroad
at Grayson, in Carter county, and
either following the Little Sandy riv-
er, or the Little Fork of the Sandy,
and then on to East Tennessee. The
length of the road will be $50 miles.
One of the aims in this project, is to
get a good coal road, and to this ex-
tent the enterprise is likely to be de-
veloped, though there are many omens
of complete success.

First Ascent ofMt Cotopaxi.

DIR. Relss, o German naturalist,
accomplished the first ascent to the
summit Of Mt. .Cotopaxi, South Amer
lea, on the 23d of November, 1872.
Cotopaxi is the highest volcano in the
world, is seldom in eruption, but
smokes at all times, and is SO steep
that the ascent has heretofore been
considered impossible, it having been
several times attempted by different
persons, all of whom failed. DIR.
Reiss and his party of ten attendants,
reached an altitude of over $4,000
feet, on the afternoon of the 22d of
November, having commenced their
journey early in the morning. At
that point they encamped and rested
for the night, and resumed the ascent
next morning, reaching the summit of
the crater about 104 A. M. The
Doctors barometer gave the altitude
of 1860 feet, or nearly 81 miles. He
had previously estimated the height
from the valley at 1886 feet. Hum
bolat's estimate of the height of Co
topan was 1880.
DR.. Reiss found the crater to pre-
sent the shape of a funnel, apparently
about 1900 feet deep, with no signs
of level bottom, and sides so steep
as not to admit of descent, except on
the southwest side, where large FUN
eroles sent forth dense masses of gas,
at a temperature of 156 degrees.
While standing on the edge of the
crater, and enjoying his triumph, a
gust from the crater filed the Doc
tors eyes with sand, irnpregnated
with sulphuric acid, infaming his
eyes so that he was compelled to de-
seend. He says he felt no inconveni-
ence from the rarefaction of the air.
This difficulty in ascending high alti-
tudes, begins at the height of $4,000
to $4,000 feet, but does not appear to
augment with the altitude. All the
peones with DIR. Reiss complained of
sickness, and one stout fellow bled at
the nose. The mules also suffered
much above the altitude of $4,000
feet; but his dog, although evidently
troubled for breath, followed him to
the crater.

This is too horrible to believe, eve1

This is too horrible to believe, even
of Chicago! A minister in a pulpit
in that awful city last Sunday, pro-
pounded this appalling conundrum: !:
'Do you know that there is a place
in this very city, hardly wider than
one of these aisles, where men are
drugged and laid away, that, SO be-
wildered, they may be made to send
to q friend here, and a friend there,
for money, that they may give it to
the men who have entrapped them?
Then, at the last, they are tossed out
into the street, that it may appear as
if they had died there suddenly"
Perhaps his beloved hearers did
know this, but we did not, and are
very sorry to hear it now. Chicago,
Chicago, can such things be after the
chastisement of fire which you have
been through!

The Press on Eduentton.

One of the most encouraging signs of the
times, and an assurance of a healthful pro-
gress in our country, is the attitude which is
SO fast being assumed by the public press.
1t is but few years since the discussion of
matters strictly educational was confined al
most entirely to educational journals. Our
educational interests received little attention
by the press at large.
These interests were considered as sec
ondary in importance to commercial, -agri-
cultural, political, and even religions inter-
ests. The religious press has learned that
an educated ministry and an enlightened
and intelligent membership give to any
church far greater power in any commu-
nifty, and the country.st large, than can be
exercised without these prerequisites; hence
its sympathy with and advocacy of the doc
trine of universal education.
The secular, including even the political
papers, whose principles VIII bear the test
of an analysis by free, educated and en-
ighteaed people, are fast throwing the
weight of their influence into the right side
of the balance. Most of our first class re-
igious and agricultural papers have their
Educational and Juvenile Departments.
And other first class journals are fast fol-
lowing their example.
As every school journal, to be success
and meet the demands of the times, must
devote more or less space to miscellaneous
reading and general news, SO other journals
to merit popular favor must not neglect the
great subject Of popular education.
As the only hope of success for this or
any other free government is in an educat-
ed people, we hope to see the time when
candidates for political preferment viii be
required to define theirposition in regard to
this all-important subject before their
claims are acknowledged by their coustitu-
ency-[ Pub. School Adv.
