Still Firing the Northern Heart.

Sllu = II L0S IuC AsO4 IAC4A1 AACoA y.
The eElogies passed upon the late Mr.
SUMNER By the northern papers are stronel.
fortified with superlatiyes, and the occasion
to write them seems to be selected as for
tunate one for firing up the northern heart
The most OF northern editors emulate MARX
ANTHONY in his speech over the dead BODY
OF CESAR. They seek to excite the people
against the South by the most 1,grant mis-
representations.
The personal affair between Mr.. SUMNER
and the late Er. BRooKs is most grossly per-
yerted. 1t would seem that Mr. SUMNER had
been the most innocent of men, and that he
was without any provocation assaulted by
BROOKS, the "would-be assassin"
These mournful historians nevertheless
say that Mr.. SUMMERS speech, which led to
the attack by BROOKS, filed the southern
members of Congress with "rage."
preston 8. BROOKS was hero in the Next
can war-he was true gentleman. His at
tack was unquestionably improper, but it
was not intended to be deadly. He was not
provoked by anything offensive to himself,
but was rcsenting an insult to his uncle,
General BUTLER, on old man.
It was bad enough at the time to misre-
present the occurrence and arouse vindic-
tiyeness towards the South in the breasts OF
the northern people. But to repeat this
effort now that Brooks is many years dead.
and SUMNER too, dead; when the South is
conquered and suffering the consequences
OF disastrous war, is totally ineXcusable.
Amongst the MARK ANTHoSYS is the New
York Herald, which out.hrralds all the rest
in its simulated grief. The Heraldis, how
ever, remarkably mcthodical in its nantes
tations. While with one hand it is wiping
away tears, with the other it is raking in the
pennies.

heart Of their hopes, their aspiration 1s fof re.
lease from oppression. md in their material
interest was all the more cruel that 1t came
suddenly and secretly from cue bands OF q
false and pretended friend. But apart rom
all sentiment in the matter, anu leaving ont
f,r view in this present connection the pecu-
liar claims Of Petersburg for the good will
of Governor Kemper; the aspects OF the
situation are sufficiently serious to, darken
with apprehension and ELL with evil fore.
holdings The mind of every resident Of the
city. Virtually the control of its govern
ment in every department Is turned over to
men (f men they may be called) who have
already proven themselves by repeated de-
linquency and malleasance to he unworthy
of the trusts of office. Not this only, but
the government is restored to them with the
approval and by the command Of the Gov
ernor of Virginia, who sets on their rotten adj
miDistration the broad seal of his official
favor Nor is this all, nor Is this the worst; but
the action of the Governor has served to
kindle anew in the half-saYage hearts of an
easily excited, ignorant, and violent race the
fires of insolence and aggression which have
more than once threatened the peace of the
city and the lives of the people. Hereto
fore. under circumstances not so favorable to
theseXhibition Of triumph on the part OF
these infammatory creatures, it has always
been found difficult to repress them, and the
people have ever seemed to sleep rs if on
the edge and ashes of slumberiug volcano.
God alone knows what violence, what riot,
what injury, may he excited among them in
this their hour of supreme triumph over the
intelligence, virtue, and property of the city
OF Petersburg by the act of the Governor,
who mainly owed his nomination to the In
fluence which emanated from this wronged
and outraged community.
VETO OF THE PETERSBURG CHARTER
Democrats in Congress think the Veto very
proper one, because as they have denounced
the acts of the Republicans in overturning
local governments for political purposes they
do not wish the Democratic party 10 be guilty
of such acts Washington telegram Balt'-

The Charter-Veto.

rrbere pss a ailare up fnlthe Senate yes
,er,,ay on the subject nf the, GaYeraassa Ssso
1ac. petersburg charter. Mr. HUS 'I'll
If buckingham, young gentleman Of pro-
,,,;sc entertained the body with near two
honrs Of very respectable defamation
arsinst the veto, and in depreciation Of some
tendencies aud purposes which he had wo-
Yen no out Of circumstances aud rumors al
sec.inc the policy and views Of the Go
ycruor.
Mr CovsALLY followed in yindication OF
his vote against the charter.
Mr.. HuxpLgy was replied to by Dir. CocA'
"a, in ylndca,ion Of the Governor and IN
defence of his own vote against the charter.
HE v,ndication of the Governor was CON-
plete.
Mr.. THOMAS, Of Fairfax, followed on the
same side, defending his vote against the
charter, which, although he did not consider
unconstitutional, was yet an invasion OF the
right Of the people TO local sclf:government'
Mr.. THosAs also defended Governor
KEAprR, and declared that although be was
not his first choice for Governor, he found
In him true and devoted public servant
who was every inch Governor.
Mr.. MorPkTT spoke against the veto apC
In favor OF the charter.
The message was sent to the Senate, thai
being the body in which the charter origi
mated. Upon the conclusion Of the debate
the question upon the passage Of the charter
over the veto was decided in the negative
ayes, IS; noes, 25. Had the numbers been
reversed, the charter would have needed one
vote to pass it. OF the twenty five negative
votes, sixteen were cast By Conservatives.
This settled the matter, and the bill goes
not 10 the House at all.
So here is so signal failure Of the bill
that all further contest about it should cease.
The little touch Of party in the discussion
Of yesterday was only ripple, and all must
be smooth ere this. 1t had no proper con-
nection with the subject u1aer discussion.
Mr.. EuNDLEY and his Conservative compa-
triots have no doubt closed up their ranks,
and are marching on to new triumphs.
Governor KEEPER will continue to CON-
mand the implicit confidence Of the people,
and the Conservative party will quietly con.
tinue the even tenor Of its way. protecting
the rights and advancing the welfare Of the
people Of Virginia.

The ROgueS!

The Wall-street "bulls" took advantage
of the death of Mr.. SUMNER to advance
stocks and gold. The deceased was regarded
as opposed to what is ingeniously styleo
"innation," and his death, it was assumed
by the "bulls," would increase the chances
Of "infation."
Aud yet in that city of the "bulls" the
banks, when the panic of September occur
red, issued paper certificates to answer IN
lieu of paper money to the amount OF thirty
or forty millions of dollars. They "pooled u
their greenbacks in order to bring them TO
the relief Of any OF their number run upon,
and determined that the certificates they bad
agreed to issue should, if necessary, be issued
to the full amount of the joint capital of al
tho banks.
They did more. They begged the Gov
eminent to issue the greenbacks in its vaults
amounting to $40, 100000, and in three days
$S,5O0,000 of those were exchanged for ma
tional bonds.

Gotham are opposing @ infation," and tht

DoGs--The war On the dogs must be re.

poor people, especially colored, own dogs
they do not feed that they are roaming in
search Of food, and have committed aston.
ishing depredalions. They have turned
burglars and invaders of hen-roosts. One
man lost thirty chickens eaten up BIZ dogs
and q widow lady sixteen deyoured in lik,
manner. We bear of trespasses and rob
berries or dogs in various quarters, from
which 1t appears they are fast becomin!

carry their prowling to more alarming ex
tremes. IS 56,s{ rs*ra
Therefore, it is time 10 look up our ca
nine fellow.citizens and see what they are
about. The Capitol Square is infested With
them, and their misbehayiour shows that il
they have been even tolerably brought up
they, are losing ali their good manners. The
Capitol Square should be closed against
dogs. Such place should not be converted
into paradise Of dogs. In their proper
places they are all right, but CON the

THE HEBREW FEAST OF LIGHTs.-The He.
brew Feast of Lights, commemorative of
the heroic deeds of Judas Maccabees, began
to be celebrated in the families OF Israelites
Thursday evening. ,Antiochus Epiphanes
conquered Judea, and upon making tour
through that country he commanded the
Hebrews to fersake their laws and customs
and adopt those prevalent among Grecians
and other people at the time. He prohibit
ed the reading of the rPentateuch in the
Hebrew houses of worship, and ordered the
Israelites to worship the. gods Of Greece.
He despoiled the Temple at Jerusalem of a
great portion OF tho sacred vessels, and
placed upon its walls paintings of the kings
and heroes Of Syria, and statues Of the great
men Of his country. After he had partially
succeeded in Suhjugatiug the people of Pales-
tine to bis will he met considerable opposi-
ton at Modin, village in Judea, the inhabi-
tantS of which did not seem willing to obey
his mandates. The father Of Judas
Maccabees urged his " sons to take
up arms against the tyrant, and under
the leadeship Of JUDAS small army was
gathered, who, inspired with love, for the
laws of their country, expelled the host OF
Antiochus from Judea. After their victories
they returned to the Temple, singing hymns
of praise and Thanksgiving, and displaced
the pictures and statues put there by the
Syrian monarch. They then rededicated the
Temple, and illuminatedi at for eight days in
honor of their achievements on the field of
battle. It is at. present customary among
the orthodox Israeltes to light number Of
tapers each evening, and an additional light
for each night during the festival, in COM
memoration Of the events which transplred
about 2 400 years ago. The festival will con-
tinue until Friday evening next.
There will be Interesting services at all Of
the synagogues to-day. DR.. Bettelheim
