THE GRIEVANCE OF MR.. LANMAN-Iu
tie Senate yesterday Mr.. Howe chairman of
the Joint Committee on the Library, made a
report on the petition OF Chas. Lanman.
praying compensation for an alleged in
titngement OF copyright by Major Ben
Perlcy POore. In his publication, the Con
gfeSsional Directory. Tie report states that
the committee have allowed Mr.. Lanman 10
withdraw his papers, bat that they feel called
upon 10 Tepel the suggestion that the DiFec-
tory i an infringement upon any property
rights OF the claimant. They further say
that there is no ground Tor the pretence that
The sketches in the directory are pirated from

knowledge of members that they severatly
fuTuiSh.the CLERK OF the Printing Records with
the facts contained in each successive c1i-
ton nj the directory. Ia the particular case
OF senator BOrenlan, which is cited by Oh G
claimant as an instance of infrin ngement, it
appears not only that the facts mentioned in
the directory were obtained from the Sena-
tor, and not from the directory, but that
those facts were inserted In three editions of
the directory before thedietionary for 1859 ap-
peared. The committee therefore ask to be
discharged nom the further consideration of
his petition. and recommend that the petit

THE CIVIL RIGHTS DEBATE IN THE SEN
ATE-SenatOr Carpenters legal argument
to-day against the civil rights bill was lis -
encd 10 with unusual attention by Senators
on both sides of the chamber. Newspaper
reading and letter writing was wholly suS-
pended for the time. Mr.. Thurman moved
Oy eT and occupied the seat of Mr.. ConkIing
who was absent, just in front of Mr.. Carpen-
ter. Mr.. SchuFZ also moved up within a few
seats of Mr. Carpenter, and paid the utmost
attention. Mr.. Carpenter read from manu-
script. his remarks occupying about half an
hour. During the discussion this afternoon
about twO-thirts of the persons in the gal
leries We're colored. Mr.. Eaton, the new Con-
necticut Senator, fired up during the debate
AMI got into a somewhat excited collOquV
with Mr. Morton and MT Logan. in which
he was wOrSted. He finally eytricat tel
himself by asserting that he did not
rise TO discuss the bill, but only 10 ask the
Senator from Indiana question. which was
whether cOlOred men serve on jurieS in In
diana. Mr.. MOrtOl'S reply TO this question
was that they are entitled to serve ..That
ism my question" said Mr.. Eaton; ''dO tilev
serve on iUrieS?" Mr.. Morton said he ha }u'C
prSctiCed law for some years, and could not
speak from personal knowledge: which
caused some laughter. Mr.. Morton then
characterized Mr. EatOnS statement as a
qulbble, when Mr.. Eaton said with some
heat that he should not use the word .'quib-
hle." MIR. Morton then Withdrew the ex-
preston.

are not worth the efforts that their denials
cost. That indeed would show a depth of de-
pravity that the Presidents sharpest critics
cannot believe him capable of. That he was
ever an active member of the whisky ring, or
an alder In its criminal operations with full
knowledge of their character, would still have
suspicious evidence against the President than
any which ugly rumor has been able to estab-
lish."
A few such paragraphs as this will
have more to do in the way of dispesing of
the Third Term project than anything else
the Democracy can do. The truth is, the
only basis the Third Term project has had,
if it ever had any at all, is to be found in the
fact that the Presidents political opponents
have made him prominent both by abusing
him unjustly and by telling all kinds of
falsehoods about him. His friends have
been forced by this policy to come to his
defense, and in this way an impression that
they favor his denomination and reelection
has been made. Of course a number of
them are really in favor of these results;
but the majority of them are simply de-
sirous that the policy of his Administration
shall be continued in the future, because
past experience has proven it to be the best
policy for the preservation of the Govern
meut.

SOME of the comments about the late
Philadelphia Centennial junketing trip are
evidently inspired bya mistaken idea Of
the affair. The imputation that Congress
men were dined and wined into agreeing
to vote for the asked-for appropriation is
unjust. The origin of the affair was in
every way proper, and arose in desire to
give our lawmakers sn opportunity to see
for themselves what progress has been
made in the preparations for our National
celebration. 1t is the almost unanimous
opinion of those who visited the Quaker
City on the occasion referred to that in no
other way could Congress have formed
correct idea of the magnitude Of the Expo
sitioD, or of the necessity which exists that
the Government, to save itself from dis
grace, should extend helping hand to the
enterprise.

The Democratic, and assistant Demo-
cratic press, of the New York Tribune kid
ney, are engaged just now in an attempt to
show that the House committees on the
expenditures of the several Executive De.
partments are the most important appoint
ments that were made by Mr.. Speaker
Kerr. They will be entitled to all the
satisfaction or qualification they can get out
OF this effort, and before the session is over
will be compelled to admit that they have
all been misled by the false statements Of
sensation-mongers regarding alleged prevs-
lence of corruption. There is not De-
partment of the Government that does not
court the closest AID most unprejudiced

THE FEW earnest friends of the Third
Term project in the country are most as
suredly indebted to the New York Herald
for its constant discussion Of the subject.
There is no doubt that the project grows
in public favor the more it is talked of, and
particularly when it is discussed by the
Herald as an anti-Papist movement, be.
cause it areuses a bitter prejudice among
certain classes of Protestants and at the
same time does not disturb the equanimity
of intelligent Catholics, who know that
the President has no sectariRn feeling
AGAINST them

the WorEI and Tribune, have placed Mr..
Morrison, of the Ways and Means Com
mittee, in training, and, if be''crams" well

which they have cut out TO- him to do, he
will certainly pan OUT iTto the most re-
msrkable statesman of hissime. The very
least he can do, in order Insecure the favor
Of these journals, is to ;eyise the tariff so
as to throw away good portion of present

sumption of specie psgments-two things
which New York particularly desires, but
which to the practices mind seems incom-

SOME of the anti-subsidy newspapers are
still clarifying over the passage of Mr.. Hel-

was glad to see the above, for the reason
that It proves most conclusively that the
Confederates control the Democratic party in
the House; that the rebel representatives and
their constituencies are no more reconstructed
now than they were in 1861 and 1865; and that
they nurse and foster an uncompromising
hatred against every man who ever fought in
the Union armies, without regard to whether
such man now votes the Radical or Democratic
