THE FIsAscE Sill oF THE REpUBLIcAN
EENATORs.
From the NJ. Y. Herald, to-day. ,.--
The compromise bill which has been
agreed upon by the Republican members
Of the Senate Is rather d political
manauvre than a measure Of finance.
It's leading purpose was to unite AND
haxmonixe the republican, party; and,
however successful it may prove as q
stroke OF party tactics. it Is Of .subord-
nate importance as means Of reaching
specie payments 1t Is marked by the
trimming deKterity which is 50 constant
~ praeticed by the trainers Of political
platforms. 1t is scheme contrved to
bear ons Interpretation in the East and
aupthat in the West, and to. mislead
both sections il they judge Of Il by the
comments Of local. eipounders instead Of
examining the text Of the bill. It has
Esau's hands with jacobs voice, and q
person must be as blind as the old patri-
arch their father II he cannot detect the
trick. It is O professed measure for
| specie payments which has the extraor-
dinary popularity Of being satisfactory to
the. infationists. The very utmost the
inaationists could hope for was to main.
tain the. currency IN the condition In
| which it was put BY the act Of last Juns
LIN other words, their policy, under pres
ent circumstances, was to do nothing
The new bill comes as near to doing moth
ing as possible under the forms Of legis-
liatiop. :. =

On Monday afternoon the Rad,
Senators held a caucnain Washington
at thS solicitation Of tbs. Southern Be
publican Senators and Representatives,
at which the condition Of the South
was considered. Senators from the
South advocated the sending Of troops
to several of the States Of that section.
They feared that the Republican par.
ty was hopelessly dead unless decis'
i've steps were taken during the pres
ent session to put. down the turbulent
whites. They confessed their inabili-
ty TO poll the white votes. The
Northern Senators did not indorse the
proposition, and some Of them openly
expressed themselves against any fur
ther Interference With the affairs Of
the South, saying that they had lost
many votes In the North by 1t.
Senator Lewis, of Virginia, declar-
ed that the Republican party had lost
power In the South because Of the
bad character of many of its would.
be leaders and the advocacy of the
Civil Rights bill, which he considered
a most iniquitous measure. The
South could only be carried for the
Republican party as at present organ
lied by sending soldiers enough there
to prevent the people from voting
The majority evidently agreed with
him as before vote was taken many
Senators left the room, and Senator
Morton, who was relied upon by the
extreme Republicans, did not come to
their relief. s

A. PRoDIGY OF LRARNING.-Some
Of our exchanges are publishing obitu.
ary notices of a young girl aged 12
years, who died recently at Kutztown,
Berks county. She Is said to have
been at least the peer of 'any Of the
prodigies of ancient and modern BIZ
ographers. ~ A teacher, giving an ac-
count of cher wonderful intellectual
endowment, says:
"She seemed to possess an accurate
knowledge of the schole range OF
mathematics, mental and written,
pure and mixed, algebraical and geo.
metrloal. She was a complete mis-
tress of the dialectlcal studies of logic
and rhetoric, and proved herself famil.
lar with all abstruse problems of men
tai and moral sciences. In physical
science, geology and botany she spoke
with easy grace of specialist, and
natural philosophy, chemistry, and in
fact the circle Of the sciences were
topics of which she had an accurate
and critical knowledge"
Think of crowding all that into the
head of ~ year old child No won.
der that she died. d.-Luncdster Tnteili
