MARsToN's safety ballot-box, the
adoption of which by the States is re-
commended by Congress. affords fair
sample of that spirit of the age which
looks more TO the artificial correction
of evils than their prevention by nat
ural means. The patent ballot-box
promises to prevent stufing, repeat
ing, and what not. 1t is supposed to
be a complete substitute for human
honesty. The biggest setOf rascals that
ever run the machine could not
make it tell a lie. To do these things
1t must be endowed with an intelligence
and virtue which all the schools and
Bibles in the land have failed to I'M
press on this universal Yankee nation.
An honest mans the noblest work OF
God. An honest ballOt-box Is, pehraps,
the noblest work of man. Butwe have
no hope of Yankee invention eclipsing
Almighty Wisdom in the manufacture
of honesty.

If there be still among us any doubt
ing Thomases concerning the necessity
of preserving our State from the blight
Of Radical rule, we need but cite the
case of South Carolina, detailed by
this mornings dispatches, as showing
the tendency and end of Radicalism
in its latest analysis. Ignorance and
rascality are its constituent elements.
In every State where 1t revels,
as well as in the National Gov
eminent, this is its inevitable
tendency. It's pretenses at reform are
like the climbing of the sloth, which
advanced one inch each day, and fell
back two inches chnight. Unless over
thrown throughout the country, t e
condition Of South Carolina-the rule
of convicted requests the future Of
every State IN the Union.

Congressional Proceedings.

Washington, ID. C., >
House.
The Com. on whole rose at 3 o'clock and
reported forty private bills, more than half
which were passed.
The house then resumed the consideration
of the currency bill.
Mr.. Kelley Of Penn. spoke in opposition to
the bill and in favor of 62-l00 bonds, the
bill introduced by him. He regarded the
pending bill as fraught with great danger to
the country and the revenues. 1t was repre-
sented as proposing to establish free banking
which he was in favor Of, but il really sought
to extend the monopoly Of the banking sys-
TEN. The bill was delusive in promising free
banking and an increased volume of circula-
ton by making it free. The south and west
were in no condition to buy bonds in spec
ulative market, as they would have to in or
der to establish banks if this bill passed. l!
new banks were established under this bill it
would be by northern and eastern capitalists,
and would prove fatal TO the industry and
prosperity of those sections.
MIR. kelly's positions were criticised by
Messrs. Burchard of Ill. and Merriam, the
latter urging that the banks stood ready to-
day to take $50, 900 900 of the 3 65- 100 bonds
and that if panic came on they would send
them to the Treasury for redemption and thus
swamp the government in insolvency.
Mr.. Butler, of Mass. replied to Mr.. Mer-
Rams objections and sustained the G5-l00
bond proposition. He proposed that the 81 90
Ameican greenback should be as productive
as the average gold dollar of the world, He
had heard good deal of talk about redeem
able currency but there was as much sense
in talking about redeemable yard stick or
quart pot.
Mr.. Willard asked why should the paper
dollar be made legal tender between ndi-
viduals.
Mr.. Butler. Because that has always been
the Office of money since the time when the
Romans used sheep as a legal tender whence
the word pecunia money from the word
Pecus a flock.
Mr., Maynard suggested that another ex-
PLANTATION was that the figure of sheep was
stamped on Roman coins.
Mr.. Burleigh of Maine asked Mr.. Butler
abou the effect of adding Si+ 900, 900 to the
currency.
Mr.. Butler replied that he had not exam
ined the question but that the increase was
only l LAP part of the whole issue and he
thought no man would consider his whiskey
