OPPORTUNITY TO EXPRESS A REGRET

that he had used those words. He had given the
Opportunity. He regretted that he had not
ayailed himself Of Il. On the other hand he had
reafirmed the position he had taken. He found
that his resolution would obtain no support on
the other side Of the House. He was willing they
should take the responsibility Of saying TO the
country that so far as they were concerned they
had no record OF their apprehension Of the breach
Of decorufn and would not record themselves in
favor Of good order.
II was necessary to adopt his resolution, that Il
should have . tWo-thirds vote 1t could not have
It without support from the other side. Rather
than fail with his amendment, that could not pass
without their aid, he would withdraw Il and take
the resolution which could pass without their
help. He then called the previous question on the
resolution offered by Mr.. HALE.
Mr.. COX, Of N. Y, moved to lay the resolution
on the table. Disagreed to-yeas 50, nays 1eI.
The previous question was then oruered, and
the resolution adopted-yeas 1e1, nays ~; potn
votes being strictly party ones. 4
Mr.. BUTLER, Of Mass, said that before going
on with other business he desired to make Q per-
sonal explanation. He simply desired 70 say that

CAUSED THE MOST BITTER FEELINGS.

Every days session witnessed disorder and intern
perate language Of which no note was taken. He
submitted whether It vas in the power of the
House to expel member even for disorderly con-
duct.
. Mr.. ELDREDGE, Of Wis, said the scenes Of
to-day must carry members, who have been here
for ten or twelve years, back to other days. Ex-
element such as they had now seen had been
seen here before. Evaporation had exhibited
itself In many instances. He remembered one 90
casion, When after an appropriation bill had Just
been defeated, the chairman Of the Appropria-
ton Committee had turned to his party friends
and remarked that the bill had been ntooled 70
pieces BY pismires and kicked to death by grass
hoppers. Everybody knew to whom he referred.
And on another occasion when warm words
passed between the Speaker and another distin-
guished gentleman. These had been passed BY,
and he supposed nobody was sorry now that they
had done 50. He asked that an extract nom the
MI. DAWES, who held the floor, said he did
not think It important that these old scenes
should be revived. ..."
MI. ELDREDGE thought 1t was, as the gen.
tleman from Kentucky might have been governed
IN his course by the former conduct OF the House,
Mr.. DAWES said that in offering his amend
ment he had desired to see If both sides OF the
House would not stand up for the decorum OF the
House. He desired more, TO give the member

There is no object which appeals more strongly

eallings OF virtue, and are thus educated to pes
Eess those qualities which must be inherent in
every good citizen. The report for the month Of

undertook to confer on the redoubtable
Thos. Carlyle the honorary degre of
Ii. D. The recluse of Chelsea fouts
the prof, in such choice English as
ne alone dares to indulge. American
universities he pIonounces "sem-
blances' and their degrees the 'silliest
sham of feathers" do you expect
me" he asks, "to join you in heading
your long line of D. DIS and Ii. DIS, as
they pass one by one into the oblivion
Of all universities and small
potatoes: a line Of pOmpous little
fellows hobbIing down to Posterity on
the crutches Of two or three letters Of

them! Why, you are more lavish and
indiscriminate and prepOsterous in con-
ferring titles than any country in the
world Of Quacks and Blockheads.
Your greatest divines and your feeblest
preachers are Doctors Of Divinity; your
most famous lawyers and most insig-
uifcant att, rneys are Doctors of Law.
Do you suppose-you there at Harvard
University, Of Arkansas, or wherever it
is-do You suppose that want to be
leveled down to the common level of

Abiding to the recent discovery of
the third term movement among the
Federal offceholders atEChicago, the
NelC York Tribune says:
There is no doubt that careful efforts
have been made In New York to feel
the pulse Of fuqncial men On the same
subject The idea has been sedulously
impressed upon them within the last
month, by persons coming directly
from Gen. Grant, that it would be
worth hundreds of millions to the bust
ness of the country if the financial
community could be assured now Of
an unchanged policy on the part Of the
Government and a steady adherence
TO hard money ideas, and that nothing
can give such assurance but the re-
nomination of Grant The idea has
made some Roadway.

THE telegraph told only half the tale
Of Saturdays meeting of the New
York Board, when 1t reported Gen.
Smith as saying to Matsell: And you,
sir, when you were appointed Superiu-
tendent, you were the editor of the
Police Gazette, which was organized as
a school for thieves" The Nel0 York
Times report continues as follows:
Mr.. Matsell grew very pale, and
said. 81 then ceased 10Y connection with
the Gazette" Gen. Smith said: "How
can the force be improved, with such
an edifying spectacle before them
That sheet was the best textbook for
young villains 1 ever saw" Mr.. Mat
sell said: What s that you say 2" Gen.
Smith promptly retorted: Il say that
1t was the best textbook for young vii
Iains ever read" Mr.. Matsel
seemed perfectly beaidered for several
minutes, but finally managed to say;

Of the Police Gazette"

This Injunction he hesitated to obey,

FOLEY's bronze statue Of "Stone-
WALL Jackson, which is to be sent to
Virginia, is now in the London Royal
Art Gallery, and is thus described by
a correspondent Of the Southern
CHurchman: "The figure is Of heroic
size, erect and noble head unco Jered;
right hand, grasping a gauntlet, rests
naturally upon the nip; on the left
arm hangs a military cloak, while the
left hand holds the bilt OF a sword
whoee point touches a pile of hewn
stones, its empty scabbard hanging
from a belt around the waist. The
form, the attitude, the face and the
expression Of the countenance combine
to make one Of the most impressive
statues we have ever seen"

The District Commissioners posi-.
vely refuse to allow Murtagh's extra
claim of nearly $4,000 for the publica,
ton Of the tax list, which was printed
some time ago in the so-caued organ o.
tue Presi dent. Thus far he has been
paid about $4,000, more than one-haH
Of which is clear profit. Not satisfied
with this sum, however, he demands
nearly as much more. under his con
tract. President Grant wants the
claims paid, but. Commissioner Dennis
son threatens to resign first. Murtagh
makes a counter threat to expose GER
tain dark transactions Of the Board,
and the upshot viii doubtless be the
forthcoming Of the hush money.

AND now comes the Illinois Stats
Zeitung that the election of Carl
Schurz was a bare-faced fraud; "that,
with the previous knowledge OF Schurz,
the then Secretaryof State had counted
out enough members Of the legislature
to secure a small majority of votes for
Schurz; and, further, that the courts
had subsequently distinctly recognized
the legality Of the election of these
very members by whose counting out
Schhrz had managed to slip into seat
IN the United States Senate The
story comes rather late for any pracd-
cal result, and its origin is not above
suspicion.

Our neighbors on the banks of the
Father Of Waters do not agree in their
estimates of the impending danger.
The sNel1 Orleans Picayune for in
stance, Jas late as the 1lth inst, writes
in the following strain;
The dispatches Of yesterday after
noon kindly inform us of circum.
stances which was evident enough four
days ago, and which, it will be remem.
bered, the PicayuHe suggested at the
time-vlz: That the vast natural reser-
vOirs bordering the Mississippi river,
the lakes, swamps and bayOus, have re-
cei7ed the larger volume of the hOed,
and that now, with the upper rivers all
falling, the prospect may be regarded
as substantially favorable. We are
glad to find the Memphis man recover
ing from his panic and becoming con-
scious of certain important facts which,
however, he might Just. as well have
known last Friday. To the bene6-
cent labor Of undoing any harm
his hasty and imprudent statements
may have caused we leave him.
But those occupying the Memphis
stand have sounded a new alarm since
the rain Of Wednesday, and the Ap-
peal yesterday took a gloomy view of
the immediate future:
It viii not subserEe any good pur-
pose to withhold from the people below
US the fact that the river is rising
slowly, but none the less surely, and
has here at Memphis at last assumed a
most threatening attitude. 1t has risen
seven inches since Saturday, and was
at two o'clock yesterday afternoon
thirty-three feet nine inches, or within
three inches of the danger line, which
is conceded by all to be thirty-four feet,
and still It continues to rise. We do
not remember a time In twenty years
when the river ran 50 muddy, or bore
upon its bosom 50 many tokens of its
strength and power, or that Of the great
rivers tributary to it. 1t Is, to use the
phraseOlOgy Of the river men, full Of
/ drift; and rising, as cur river report
shows, at the rate of two inches IN
-AOAA nun . VIII a AAoC az new
| Orleans 70 the same extent, at Paducah
Of fully eleven inches, ten inches on
Red river at Shreveport, and two inch
es at Vicksburg-the rise at these
places indicating the fact that the con-
tinued rise from Memphis is dangerous
to all below. We have already, in the
very lengthy and exhaustive reports
laid before our readers, stated the pres
ent and possible damage to plantations
above and below. We viii not, there
fore, rehearse or rehash the melan-
cholly and disheartening outlook, and
only review what is before US in order
that our friends may be as wise as we
are, and may prepare for the worst.
The Father of Waters is coming in his
might and his power, and at this
writing we do not see why he may not
overrun the whole face of the country
and override the efforts of as brave a
people as ever confronted man or the
elements. ,

The great questions viii be, the main
tanning Of the Union son the princi-

ment,) and the currency question. The
tariff and labor issues viii have to
wait. He doesn't believe the Southern
Democrats Will be unwise enough to
insist on having the Presidential can
didates, and thinks Hendricks has the
best chance for the nomination among
those talked of, though one to fifty
against the field would be about a
square bet on the chance that some
man not now talked about viii be pre-
scented. The Liberals, he thinks, Will
return to the Republican fold, but he
does not hazard any prediction as to
the results Of the Presidential cam
