ST. Patrick'S Day.

Tomorrow recurs the ever memorable
aud ever faithfully remembered festival OF
Irish Christianity. st. Patrick's day is
never forgotten wherever throughout the
| earth the bold, adventurous spirit OF the
Celt has directed the footsteps Of his race.
Tomorrow the green flag ffutters in every
breeze but Erin's. 1t would seem indeed
as though the whole world were Irish ex-
cept Ireland.
There is no race which has Influenced
exterior populations to the same extent as
the Irish. In France, Spain and Austria,
the noblest and most influential names
have been for generations and are this day,
Hibernian. But especially is the infla
ence of the race felt in new countries.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the
United States-not only in giving popula-
ton but in giving strength and tone to
that population. There ia q dash, force,
an enthusiasm ia the Celtic blood that has
resisted Cor seven centuries the most re-
lentless and savage oppression which the
world has ever witnessed aud stands
forth to-day as irrepressible as ever.
Occasionally in this country a recreant
may be found, q fellow who is ashamed of
St. Patrick, but any one may see by looking
at the turn out to morrow that these are
not many in our midst. The splendid
Hibernian Association organized in our
city does much toward fostering proper
sentiment among its members, and as
will be seen else where, is will appear in
force tomorrow. AS long as the true
spirit of their race burns among our hosts of
Irish citizens, and as long as their desceu-
dants are true to the faith and traditions
and glorious souvenirs of their fathers, BID
long the storm, Of despotism gathering over
this country will be stayed in its threaten
pg or resisted in it's fury.

limit ourselves to the first four centuries

In all these DEGREES of the Popes upon
Faith or Morals there was no concurreuee
of ecumenical councils at the time. Some
times their DEGREES were afterwards ad-
opted by councils, sometimes they were
not, bnt never was one rejected by coun-
Gil. And such decrees have been always
received by the whole church as infallibly
correct as we'll before their adoption by
council as afterwards, and just as MUCH so
in those instances when no action was
ever taken by any council.
Is it possible in the face of such facts, to
doubt that the Popes always claimed and
exercised the right OF final Jurisdiction
over questions of Faith and Morals and
that the whole church submitted to it and
recognized is

THE EZRA OF Coon FEELING - The
Washington correspondent of the Pc
tersburg Neacs (''L. Q. W.') referring
10 the passage of Mr. Maynard's un
wersal amnesty bill in the House OF
Representatives, says:
1t is generally believed that the
measure will pass the Senate. Very
few individuals are still under dsabili
ties probably not two hundred all told,
the last general bill passed by Con-
gress some years ago, having relieved
about fifteen thousand persons. OF
those still under disabilities, hardly
any would desire to re-enter public
life, most of them being members OF
the old army and navy having no pre-
diliction for politics. The most prom
inent civilian now DISTINGUISHED are
Jefferson Davis, Of Tennessee; Robert
ICONS, of Georgia; Lewis T. Wigfall,
now of Baltimore; John A. Reagon, Of
Texas james Chestnut, of South Carroll
ia; Thomas S. Bocock of Virginia;
Hon. John NJ. Campbell, Judge of
the United States Supreme Court, and
John c. Breckenridge, Of Kentucky.
Among the military and naval are Gen.
Hood, Gen. Jubal A. Early, Gen. G.
W. Gusts Lee, Gen. Geo Z. Pickett,
Commodore Semmes, Capt. Brooke,
inventor of the system of deep sea
soundings, Gen Joseph Johnston and
Others Of less note. The passage OF
this bill by the House by SO large a
vote, taken in connection with the us
ual respect and attention accorded to
such prominent ex Confederates as
Hon. A. H. Stephens, Hon. L.. @. G.
Lamar, is the strongest indication Civ
ensby Republicans since the war of a
return to a rational feeling and poll
cy.
1t is reported on good authority that
prominent members of the Administra
ton have said that, in the event of a
foreign war, commands would be offer
ed the leading military men of the
South, and it is apparent that the day
has come when Southern statesmen
who are ready to act on the basis of the
Union as fnality, will find fair re-
ception in the public councils

Boston, Dec. 1l.-This morning
David U. Kimball, living at 1G Com
mon street, Charlestown, strangled his
wife to death, then seized his stepdau-
ghter, Coranda Wales, aged II, and
drew razor across her throat, making
frightful cash, from which she bled
to death in few minutes. He ended
TIE tragedy by co:ni.sitting suicide.
Family troubles are believed to have
led to tie act. Kiinball was so years
old, aud had been married about two
wears. His wife was about 40 Kim
ball was a blacksmith employed at the
navy yard, and kept few boarders.
He had the reputation of being: an IN

WEsT VIRGINIA AND Our STATE
ioEsri- Joint resolution to the fol-
lowing effect has been, offered in the
senatesof West Virginia:
Senate joint resolution &c. declaring
that the State of West Virginia has
and can create no bonded debt.
whereas lit is represented in the
newspapers and otherwise that the
bonds of the State of West Virginia

In order to fully understand the
enormity Of the action of the House OF
Representative in admitting to their
seats without reference to the Commit
tee On Elections, Sheldon and Sypher,
the Kellogg claimants from Louisiana,
the following facts should be borne in
mind: l. The credentials of these
men were based on an alleged canvass
of votes by what is known as the
Lynch Returning Board; =. This board
had been abolished by law; 3. The
board was under valid injunction re-
straining it from action Even if
the board had authority to canvass re-
turns, it had no returns to canvass; 5.
1t was testified before committee OF
the Senate by Mr.. Bovee, one of the
Lynch board, that they were determin-
ed to have a Republican Legislature,
and made their canvass to that end; 6.
That the fraudulent character of the
pretended canvass was abundantly es
tablished by competent testimony; and
7. That this board counted as votes a.
large number of affidavits which they
must have known to be forgeries. These
astounding charges of fraud are made,
not upon the authority of the political
opponents of Kellogg and Brother-in-.
law Casey, but upon that of Senators
Carpenter, Logan, Alcorn, and Antho
ny, who were on III, committee appoin
ted at the last session of the Senate to
investigate the Louisiana question, and
are embodied in their report made after
a due examination of evidence. Yet
in the face of these overwhelming
proofs of rascality, which form a mat
ter of record, the House of Representa-
tives, to show its servility to the White
House, admitted Sypher and Sheldon
to full membership, thus manifesting its
official approval Of frauds upon the bal
lot box, as well as its contempt for the
rights of American citizens to choose
their own representatives in Congress-
A more shameless disregard of the re-
quirements of common decency was
never perpetrated by any protiigate and
yeual legislative body in any age or
country

WOODSTOCK VIRGINIA.
THURSDAY A,rning, lasamhsr -, 1873.

Marshal BAzAINE, of France is an
other victim of the ingratitude of Re
publics. Aft,ra tedious and protracted
trial he has been found "guilty of the
capitulstion of Metz and the army III
the open field, without doing all that
was prescribed by honor and duty to
avoid surrender" and condemned to
death hut President McMahon has
committed his sentence to twenty years
seelus;on, and to bear the degradation
froa, rank. 1t is generally believed that
this verdict was the result of political
intrigue, and that the French people
have perpetrated this disgrace upon
one of the most brilliant officers Of the
empire to molify wounded national
pride. 1t must, however, he gratifying
to the Marshal, on the eve OF his
retirement into exile from the scenes OF
his country's late disgrace and humilla
ton, and he the victim to palate Its
disgrace, to receive the words OF con-
dolence and trust from that old sage
aud statesman, the late President
Theirs. But we predict the secluslon
of the old Marshall to be of but short
duration; for the instability OF French
government warrants the hope that the
gallant officer will be soon recalled to
contribute his splendid abilities in the
restoration of the old regime-whethel
under the Bonapartes, the Orleanists OF
the Bourbons.

PRESIDENTS PERouIs1rEs.-An in
structive passage at arms occurred be-
tween two staunch Republican lnemb
ers of the House in the debate Of the
10th on the question of reduction OF
$, lries:
Mr.. G. F. Hoar, Republican, of
Massachusetts-My colleagues state
ment in relation to the Presidents per-
quisites will undoubtedly attract atten
ton throughout the country. He has
stated that the perquisites of'the Plesi
dents Office amount, on an average, to
5000 year, making the salary and
perquisites for single term $500, 900.
Now / wish to ask him how he. makes
out that sum.
"Mr. Dawes-I have just done this
have taken from the appropriation
bills the sums appropriated for the
Presidents household and his house
just what would be expended by any
other officer who has his. own house.
not the cost of the house, but the year
ly appropriations for carrying it on and
keeping it in order and repair.
"Mr G. f. Hoar-Is it not for main
tanning the state of that house which
pertains to the receptions and other OK
pensas of the office?
''Mr. Dawes They are the sum
which the President. it were put on
footing with other officials, would BIT
obliged to pay out OF his own income.

on the cheek of any man, whether lie
voted for the bill or not, who took the
money 1.-The had been here he should
have taken it, whether he voted for it
or not and should have felt that he was
as Justly entitled to it as he was to re-
ceive doliar day. 1t was consti;u
tional law, constitutionally passed and
those who were entitled TO pay under it
were as much entitled to the whole of
It as they We're to any dime received
under it. If ai.y thought it too much
and returned It, he (Stephens) would
not cast slur upon him for doing 80.
He had now discussed the moral view
OF the question, and he would now pro-
coed to discuss 1t in its political aspect
He was not going to place value on
his own services as a representative, but
If he were to state what he thought the
services OF a representative ought to be
worth he would go far above the figure
ct any law that has ever been passed.
A representative Of the people ought to
be man OF that mental calibre, that in
formation, that education, that virtue,
that trnstworthiness, aud all those quail
tiles which command the highest renu-
neration. He had given it as his epin-
ion in the last speech he made in the
I House fourteen years ago, that if the
salaries Of members Of Congress were
I ten Thousand dollars, OF Senators fifteen
thousand, Of the Chief Justice of the
Supreme Coult fifty thousand, of the
associate Judges twenty-five thousand,
and of the President one hundred thou
sand, it would be better for the country
al large. lie held the same opinion
still. He certainly should not vote for
the bill reported by the committee, but
he believed that the most unwise action
Of the last Congress was the abolition
Of the franking privilege.

PARIS, Dec 11-Soon after the
Judgement Of the court was pronounced
against Marshal Bazaine last evening
requested that his son might be al
lowed to visit him in prison. He also
refused to avail himself of the right of
appeal
President MacMahcn, before taking
action on the appeal for mercy for
Bazaine, will wait for explanations,
from the Marshal and for the expira
ton of the usual period of delay, DUR
ing which the Court may itself reverse
the sentence. This period ends to night
at midnight, and the Presidents deci
sion will not be announced until to-
| morrow.
The Dude d'Aumale, President of
the court martial, has gone to Besan-
con to attend exclusively to the COM
Inand If his army corps.
The Joal',aul dc Paris says the un
aniinity Of the judge unfortunately in.
| dicates that there will be no reconsid-
Grafton OF the sentence; but the con-
detDned Marshal may take advantage
OF the lapse OF time, aud plead his splen-
did services to France in mitigation OF
its severity.
