CoNGREss.-In Senate, on the 10Th
Sherman presented a memorial from
200 bankers, DC, against increasing
the currency. Logan said some OF
the men who had signed it had clos
ed their doors last fall and refused
to pay depositOrs. Bill appropriat-
ing $4,000 to keep open a channel
at the mouth of Buffalo river passed.
Currency bill taken up, the question
being on Cameron's amendment re-
pealing all restrictions on banking,
but making all subject to the lin
itations of the banking law. The
amendment was finally rejected. A
substitute for Merriman's amend
ment, instructing Finance committee
to report a bill providing for the
convertability of N. S. Treasury
notes into gold coin or five per cent
bonds, and also for free banking,
passed, and motion to reconsider
consumed the rest of the day. In
the House a bill to allow Louisiana
to elect two Representatives at large,
passed. Bill to oblige U. S. Marsh
ais and clerks of U. S. courts to dis
gorge fees in excess of their dues
passed. Bill for distribution of Pub
lie documents came up ; Kasson
wanted documents printed by Con-
gress sold at cost. Was willing for
weekly newspapers to 60 free in the
county where published. Monroe
opposed sending public documents
free. Tymer, Townsend and Garfield
favored weekly papers going free,
but opposed free distribution of pub
lie documents as calculated to ex-
tend an enormous abuse. The Globe
had cost $S50,000 per year and pub
lie printing $2,000,000.
On the 2Oth in the Senate, Logan
withdrew his statement in regard to
the signers of the memorial presented
by Sherman. A resolution passed
asking the Secretary of the Treasury
toreport the number illicit distilleries
suppressed by officers Of the govern
ment, the past six month. Currency
bill coming up motion to reconsider
Cooper's motion was lost, and Mer-
riman's amendment as amendedpass-
ed. 1t provides for an increuse of
currency to $400,0O0,0O0. In the
House, but little Of Importance was
done. A recess was taken to allow
the presentation of Chief Justice
Waite to the members.
There was no session Of theSenate
on the 2Ist, and the House was en-
gagged on the private calendar most
Of the day. A number Of private
bills passed and the House adjourned
till Tuesday.
On Monday the Senate met, but
soon after adjourned.

SUNSET Cox has achieved a new
name; and thus is was. In recent
debate, Samival asserted he had not
played the demagOgue, but that he
loved to please his constituents, from
whom he came fresh as any Of the
M. Cs. Yea, said he, 81 feel as fresh
as a dew drop on the lips Of rose,
which was almost as pretty as the
gushing fancy of that Sunset" &C
crostic which charmed his glowing
fancy in the period of his adolescen-
Sc. His colleague Lyman Ere
maine) rose to make his maiden
speech, congratulated himself on the
honor conferred upon him, and re-
marked that the honor was enhanc-
ed, by his surroundings Of honored
and honorable men, notleast ofwhom
was his 'brilliant friend, the Dew
Drop' from New York" Strange
how pretty things stick to samival.
For the nonce Sunset has set, and
'Dew Drop Cox is the cognomen
by which he is greeted. Fortunate
Samival.

THE Ohio State Grange, held at
Xenia last week, adjourned on Fri
day after four days session. There
were 555 Oranges represented, with
amembership ranging from 10000 to
10000. 1t was resolved to incorpo-
rate the State Grange, various agri-
cultural questions were discussed, q
State agent or purchaser of mate
rials, &c, appointed, a committee Sc
lected to report on a mutual fire in
surance company, and an expression
of sympathy with the woman's tenn
perance movement INDUCED in. The
Grange also declared that, as an or
ganization, it had no part or lot IN
politics, which is consonant with the
declaration of the National Grange,
made at st. Louis. We give below
the statement of the purpose of the
Grangers movement, as set forth by
the National Grange:
First-United by the strong and
faithful tie of agriculture, we mutual
ly resolve to labor for the good of
our order, and country, and man
kind.
Second-We heartily indorse the
motto: "1n essentials unity; in non
essentials liberty; in all things char
ity."
Third-We shall endeavor to ad-
vance our cause by labering to ac-
complish the following objects: To
develop a better and higher manhood
and Womanhood among ourselves, to
enhance the comforts and attractions
Of our homes, and strengthen our at
tachments 10 our pursuits; to foster

our oppressed and suffering brother
hood by any means at our command.
Last, but not least, we proclaim it
among our purposes to inculcste a
proper appreciation of the abilities
and sphere of woman, as is indicated
by admitting her to membership and
position in our order. Imploring
the continued assistance of our Di-
vine Master to guide US in our work,
We here pledge ourselves to faithful
and harmonius labor for all future
time to return by our united efforts
to the wisdom, justice, fraternity
and political purity of our fore
fathers.

Dr.PlERCE'S FAVORlTE PRESCRIPTION

Dr.PIERcE'S FAV0RlTE PRESCRIPTION
is very strongly recommended by the Medical
Faculty and is largely prescribed among their
female patients. It is worthy of all confidence
as may be seen from the following testimonial:
ATLANTA, Ill, July IA, 1873.
Dr. R. v. PIKRcE, Buffalo, N. Y:
DEAR SIR-I hayo not words to express my
gratitude to you for your advice and assistance
in my case. There is not one who has used
your medicines since they have been brought
here but that can say with me they have been
greatly benefited. Since have been SO helped
by its use six or seven around me left OF all
doctors and other medicines, and now use it
in their families, after being cured of the same
disease as mine. You do not know what
wonder it created in our city, by It's restoring

under the care of three of our best doctors but
could not sit up but for q few minutes at one
time. begged Of her to try your medicines,
and before she had used up half Of the bottle
she could 20 all around the yard, and has now
Just come home from q visit Eve miles away.

at large are taxed to pay for. 1t is
estimated that such changes would
well nigh cover $7,OOO.oOO estimated
as deficiencies Of the Postal Depart
ment for the ensuing year.-Tele-
graph Dispatch.
The Senate Appropriation Com
mittee should ego slow" on the alb
olition Of the postal system. 1t has
proven a great advantage to the bus
mess interests of the country by ex-
pediating the transmission of mail
matters, especially where men of in
telligenee are employed as route
agents, and the country would hardly
desire to return to the old system.
But they are right on the subject OF
abolishing the free delivery Of let
ters. The postal car system bene-
fits the whole country alike, but the
free delivery Of letters by carriers
only benefits certain localities, and
is tax upon the postal revenues,
which creates a deficiency that has
to be supplied by taxing the whole
country. When the revenues of the
department will bear it and the sys-
TEN can be applied to the whole
country, it would be time enough to
adopt it. If people in the larger
cities must have their letters carried
to them, let them pay the additional
expense, and no one will object to
their enjoying the luxury.

Mr.. MCCoY, a member of the Ohio
House, has introduced bill author
izing the appointment of three com
missioners to compile for publication
a series of school books, correspond
ing in number to those in use in the
primary, secondary and grammar
departments of the public schools.
The ownership of the manuscript of
the series to be vested in the State,
and free to publication by any one
who may wish, and when published
one year shall be used as text books
in those departments, no other books
to be substituted until after ten
years from thier introduction.
If it is right and profitable for the
State to own a certain series of books
it is equally right that it should OWL
all the series in use, and the bill is
defective in not 50 providing. We
are in favor Of any change that may
produce cheaper books, but it does
not look to as as if the above would
accomplish the object. There is q
vast amount of money invested in
school books, which would necessa-
rily be lost in the hands of the peo-
pie, as well as in the hands of bust
ness men, by such a radical change
as is proposed in this bill, and the
evil that would result would be great
er than the evil the bill is designed
to cure. If change Of this kind
is to be made the State should GER
tainly exchange the new books for
the old, and that would require a
large tax upon the people to render
the change effective.
A better and safer plan, we think,
would be to enact a law obliging
school boards to make selection Of
their text books for a given period,
ten years it may be, and prohibiting
any change within that time under
1t is not the cost of the
necessary school books people grum-
Bile at, but the license to change as at
present allowed, which frequently
obliges parents to purchase new
books every term of school, or at
least every time teachers are
changed. This evil is not so great
in larger communities, and for ex-
ceIent reason. The superintendents
or principals are not changed every
term or every year; but tits pal
pable grievance in country districts,
where teachers are hired by the term,
and where each new one wants the
readers, or arithmetics, or geogra-
phies introduced, which he or she
had been accustomed to. Anything
which will prevent this evil will be
welcome but the change proposed by
McCoy's bill we think too radical to
be satisfactory.

GONG BACKWARD. = The Com
mittee on Education in the Consti-
tutional Convention do not seem to
possess a forward inclination-the
majority we mean. They have re-
commended the following may be-
come Section 2, of Article VI
ssThe powers of taxation conferred
by this Section, shall be limited to a
sum sufficient to educate all the
children of the State in such com
mon and necessary branches Of
learning as shall be provided by law Q
There is no doubt but the above
is intended to strike at or strike out
the High School system and sup
plant it by one designed to confer
only the common branches. If the
colleges and seminaries ofthe landhad
Joined to secure an article in their ia
vor, we donot think they could have
succeeded better, and the Ifact that
Mr.. P. Kerr, one of the majority
making the recommendation, is from
. Granville College, would make the
suggestion look like a selfish one.
The High School system, by which
the higher branches are accessible
to the poorer classes, is the pride of
our land, and no sacriligious hand
should be permitted to touch it.
We are glad to see that remonstran-
ces are rolling in from all quarters,
and believe there is too much intel
igence and too much sympathy with
popular education among the mem
bers Of the Con. Con-, to permit such
a section to be smuggled into the
Constitution. Take no step back
ward.
