I'HE NEW SPEAKER.
1t is eighteen years since a Demo-
crat presided over the House Of Re
representatives.. The last Democratic
Speaker was Orr, of South Carolina,
whose term expired March 4, 1859.
He was eucceeeded by Pennington, he
by Grow, he by Colfax, and he by
Blaine. For this reason, then, if for
no other, We should be gratifed at the
elevation of Mr.. Kerr, for we have
grown weary of packed committees
and partizan maripulations of the
House. But in addition to this. the
country has cause for self-congratula-
ton in the character of the present in
cumbent, which gives us guarantee
that he will preside over the House
rather as patriot than a partisan

The Pennsylvania Legislature is in
cubating a law for compulsory educa-
ton. 1t has been recommended by the
Philadelphia Board Of Education and by
the Governor in his message. The idea
that the people shall be educated, n0lens
Dolens, is getting abroad in the land.
Perhaps it will induce many slothful
parents to pay more attention to the ed
ucation of their children. When the idea
is heard in the voice of the people, as it
were, many persons at once bow in will
ing obedience as If it were really the
voice of God. Let it work. Heaven and
every wise man knows that education is
our only means of salvation. Upon it
we depend for all reforms.

MORE GIGANTIC VILLAINY.

When Gen. Fremont was indicted by a
French Court for fraudulently selling
Memphis and FL Paso bonds, it was
pretty we'll understood that he was one
of those modern scoundrels who plunder
the people on a large scale but who gen-
erally win esteem in proportion to their
success. 1t is now shown that he and
large company OF prince men conducted
a scheme of bribery on larger scale
than ever before attempted. They had
secured valuable franchises with lands
from the legislature Of Texas, and now
thew wanted cash subsidy from Con-
press like that granted the Union Pacific.
They used $ll,OO0,000 i'll Ell Paso bonds
and in cash upon Congress and thought
the game secure.
The matter was brought to a vote Feb
ruary oath, 1869, in the House, and it
passed by two-thirds majority. 1t was
at once reported to the Senate, where
unon Mr.. Howard asked its reference to
his committee. Mr.. Morton objected be-
cause the Fortieth Congress was near
its close, and it might be strangled in
the committee. Mr.. Howard pledged
, himself to report it back the next day,
but he violated his word of honor, and
the Congress closed without further ac.
tion on it. Two of Fremoht's bills had
been introduced into the Senate, one by
Harlan and one by NJ. Robertson, but
hot ctr ola N tha m
tee.
Fremont now wondered what was the
matter with the Senate. He had two
thirds of the House, and supposed the
Senate was also secure. He soon dis
covered, however, that there were two
Darties In the Senate that, united, were
stronger than he was. Both parties were
+ anxious to overthrow the Memphis ant
Ell Paso Company in order to secure fol
themselves the franchises and land gran
from Texas. The Pacific coast ring
that wanted a road from San francisco
to the Colorado river, was also interest
ed in cheating the creditors of the 4
Paso Company by breaking it down. l
is thus that Fremon + failed in the Sen
ate. 1t Is stated that Tom Scott wa
one of the ring that was operating in tht
Senate to get hold of FL Paso.
The second long chapter Of the histor.
of this rascality has appeared in the Sun
and more matter OF ravishing interest i
promised. The. first chapter created
great excitement among the officials q
Washington. 1t was reported that a
much as five dollars was offered for
copy of the paper. Judge Kelly rea

PRESIDENT GRANT advises Congress
to establish sinking fund for the re-
demption of the postal currency and
$50, 900 Of greenbacks. This would in.
crease our deficit, and to supply revenue
he recommends the restoration of the du-
ty on tea and coffee and the repeal OF
the ten per cent reduction in 1872 on Ger.
tain articles. This last tickles Pennsyl
vania, for it means more tariff on iron.

A paragraph is going the rounds of the
scientific and agricultural press to the
effect that il grass-plOts. garden-beds
and so OH be sprink!ed with clear lime
water in damp weather the earth-worms
will be destroyed and the vegetation
benefited. This may be true for all that
we know TO the con rary. Indeed, an
application of lime-water may very prob
ably be of direct temporary advantage
To the grass or what not over which it is
sprinkled; but il it XII Is worms 1t ought
not to he used, nese.apparently insigni-
can't and certainly unattractlve crea-
lures are OF the greatest benefit to the
fields which they inhabit. They are
yery humble, but are efficient servants
of the agriculturalists; and lar from in
iuryipg his meadow and his garden, they
devote themselves with The most praise
worthy s.ssiduity to turning over the soil
to u greater depth anu more thoroughly
than can be done with the best appii-
ances known to science. These animals
for they are classified by the natural
| ists-cannot claim to be much more than
animated tubes. They seem to live by
taking earth and earthly substances i'll
at one end ans passing them out at the
other. This simple process Of digestion
| is aided, however, by Il mucous secre-
ton. and the worm has most praise
worthy habit, when he has filled himself
with earth, of ascending to the surface,
turning round and working himself back
again into The ground. TINS operation
has the ettec.. of unloading him, and the
process, infinitely repeated by millions
Of his fellows. cannot but have a highly
i.eneticial effect upon the quallty OF lana.
1t is said by so careful an observer as
Mr., Darwin that these worms have been
known to cover a field 10 the depth oil
thirteen inches in the course OF eighty
years. A slow process, to be sure, bu'
So are all the processes of nature. This
however, is not all they do. They carry
their shafts and galleries to the depth o.
several feet, and cross and intersect II
all directions, loosening the soil, open
| ing it to the penetration Of alr ana wa
ter, and. in short, doing all they can t.
help vegetation, without preyins upon II
or injurying its roots in tie sllghtes
degree. For all these services they are
doomed to be dosed to death with lime
water, if we are to follow the suggestion
OF the paragraph referred to.

BECAUSE st. Paul said !Let the bishop
be the husband of one wife," Bishop
Whittingham, of Maryland, still refuses
to sign the credentials of the assistant
bishop elect of Kentucky because he has
had two wives. We suppose that any
man of common sense would understand
Paul to have meant only to have probib-
tied a bishop from having but one.wi!e at
a time. PClygamy was common in his
day, and the most the apostle could do
was to limit the dignilaries of the church.
