not already guessed we must tell you
that We refer to Ben Butler. A gel =
tleman on our right in the gallery the
other day pointing to Batter said, "tbere
is the ablest man in the house"
Dawes the once possible successor of
Sumner, occupies n seat not far from
Butler He has the appearance of a
retired farmer-an even tempered
steady going, safe man, with less abil.
ity than Butler, but man who would
rather be right than be senator.
Reserving for future letters a refer
ence to other notable., we must de-
scribe the manner Of voting, on di-
vision Of the house, by tellers. In the
British house OF commons, when this
vote is taken, all the members retire
from the chamber. The tellers are
stationed at each side of the entrance
door, and the memuers in Indian file"
pass in-those in the Affirmative first
the negative following, and the tellcrs
count them as they come in. The
vote is taken in similar way in our
national house Of representatives, with
this dis,inction-the tellers are sta.
toned at the end of the aisle farthest
from the entrance door aud nearest the
speakers platform-one on each side
of the aisle, and the members without
leaving the hall pass between them.
1t looks like primitive way of voting,
and the scenes enacted are sometimes
laughable, especially when the mem,
bers intermingle and gather from all
parts of the hall. The tellcrs bring
down the palm of the hand on each man
as he passes between them. The
method has the merit of accuracy if il
is little antiqua,cd and inconvenient
The spectator gets the impression that
he is witnessing some kind of school
boy performance, and when Ben Butler
passes between the tellers and cacl
slap, him on the shoulder it is not DIFF
Gcult to imagine lie is the unruly boy
of the school.

THE presidents veto of the finance
bill has excited the leaders of the re.
publican party to IA state of fury.
Morton, Logan, Carpenter and their
followers are loud in denuncia
tions Of Grants course. He is charged
with vaccillation, with having allied
himself with capitalists and the bank
ers Of Wall street against the people
and the laboring men. Morton brood.
and shakes his head and thinks tn,
president has acted strange, passing
strange. Carpenter is of the opinion
that congress will pass an imitation bill
before its close in spite of the presi,
dents veto, and Logan is furiously an
cry, throws to the winds the discreet
advice Of party friends to conceal his
displeasure, and swears in no choice
Oaths that Grant has betrayed his
friends and that the party is ruined.
This is interesting. The San Domingo
fight was little breeze compared to
this storm.

THE POOR SOUTH.

The South is child of misfortune.
All the trouble in the catalogue of mis-
fortune have been heaped upon her
head.
In moment of anger she rushed in
to secession and during four years war
devastated her fields, impoverished her
cities, and desolated her hearthstone
When peace came, and while yet feel
ing keenly the humiliation of defeat,
radical reconstruction sent upon her a
host OF adventurers, who obtaining
control Of the lately emancipated slaves,
became the ruling class of the south
and robbed the people of the little
substance war had allowed them to re.
tain.
Then pestilence swept like Bosom
OF destruction through the southern
cities, and the charity of the world was
invoked to keep starvation from the
door.
Upon the heels of pestilcnce followed
the financial crisis.
And now the last but not the least
distressing Of her calamities has come
upon her, in the form Of the overflow
Of the streams and rivers of the Miss.
issippi Valley. Thousands of acres of
the rich lands Of the South ara in n
state Of inundation. Her fields and
her farms, her houses, and in many
cases the stock belonging to her plan.
tiers, have been swallowed up in u sea
OF water. The lands have been rem.
dered worthless for the time being the
houses have been abandoned by their
inhabstants and the stock, dead and
dying, is being swept away by the wa.
tiers With the food aud after it, com,
sickness and famine, and what the enc
will be no man can foreseo.
The authorities Of the suffering sec.
tions have appealed for aid t. North,
ern cities aud the movements Of many
citizens in many places show that the
appeal has not been made in vain. All
that philanthropy can do will be done
70 alleviate the horrors now crowding
upon the people of the iuuu-
dated districts. But with all
that the benevolent can do, the

have had imitation and anti Imitation
days. He wrote the veto on an anti.
imitation day, hence the anti-inAa,ion
lists have cause to rejoice. Had he

Reform schsoi for Girls.

I'm the House, on Monday last, Mr.. Plat,
charm an OF the Committee on Public Buildings
and Grounds, introduced bill 10 provide for
the construction Of 3 building for the use Of the
Girls Reform School u the District of Colun-
bis. The bill authorizes the Secretary of the
Urea ury to erect the necessary buildings on q
site to be purchased by the District OF Column
bis provided the cost OF said buildings shall not
exceed sI5O 600, which sum the bill appropriates
from the conscience fund" of the Treasury
The bill further provides that sn sums now
credited 20 the fund mentioned in excess of
$50, eco, and all moneys hereafter received for
said fund, shall be invested in five per cent.
bonds OF the United States, the revenue to go
towards the support Of the Home. The subject
establishing such an institution as this bill
proposes has been informally brought to the at
tsntIon OF many prominent gentlemen in both
houses Of Congress, and on hearing a simple
statement Of the facts they have at once con-
Cured In the wisdom of the measure.
Properly explained in Congress, there
is no good reason why the bill of
Hr. Plat should not bscome Law.
TIE necessity OF such an institution Is pain
fully apparent every day. Our present system
o. treating female offenders is an outrage on
civilization. Young girls, mere children, are
arrested for trifiiug offences and brought before
the court. In many cases IL is their first offence,
and tudicious treatment would reclaim them
and make them thenceforth exemplary mem
bers Of society. But they are the children of
poor and perhaps dissolute parents, or perhsp
they are orphans, and no considers alton IL shown
them by our laws. Their trial, in most cases,
Consumes but a moment, and il the msrest
matter OF form. They are sent to the common
jail or the vOrkhOuse, there to mingle with
TIE vicious and wholly depraved Of both
sexes, TO listen to the viIest language,
and finally TO emerge from their con-
hnement TO enter upon life OF crime.
With g;rls' reform school in operation sucA
Juvenile offenders could be treated in such a
manner as to secure their reformation in many
cases. Almost every city OF the size of Wash
ington in the United States has an institution of
this kind, and the annual reports of their 0oe-
rstions show that a large per cent. Of the in
mates are reclaimed from vicious lives. As
Congress has given support TO the useful boys

beuld be Less generous in the matter of a simi-

PROCLAMATION


We are reminded by the changing seasons
that IT is time to psuse in our daily avocations
ard offer thanks 10 Almighty God for the mer-
des and abundance Of the year which is draw
ing 20 olOse.
The blessings OF free government continue to
be vOuchsafed to US, the earth has responded to
the labor OF the husbsndmer, the land has been
free from pestilence, internal order is baiug
maintained, and peace with other powers has
prevailed.
1t is fitting that at stated periods we should
cease from our accustomed pursuits and from
the turmoil of our daily lives, and unite in
thsDkfulDess for the blessings of the past, aud
in the cultivation OF kindly feelings toward
each other.
Now, therefore, recognizing these considera-
tions, !, Ulysses s. Grant, President Of the
United States, do recommend to all citizens to
assemble in their respective places of worship,
on Thursday. the 26th day of November next,
and express their thanks for the mercy and
favor of Almighty God, and laying aside all
political contentious and all secular occupa-
tons, TO observe such day as q day of rest,
thanksgiving and praise.
In witness whereof have heraunto set nv
hand and caused t5e seal of the Uaitod States
to be affixed.
Done ut the city OF Washington this twenty
seventh day OF October, IN the year
eighteen hundred and seventy four, and
lsRALl of the Independence of the United
States Of America the nInety-ninth.
