Lamar,s Great speech.

The speech of Mr.. Lamar, of
Mississippi, assuming the chair as
presiding officer of the Democratic
caucus, was worthy the ablest states
man of any period of our history.
It's every word and sentence prove
that the accession of the Democracy
to power means peace, and a COM
plete wiping out of the war issues;
the saci edness of the national debt,
and a faithful adherence to the
guarantees of the Constitution.
This noble speech has met with a
response from every section of the
Union. It's utterances were what
every patriot in the land believed In
his heart, and the surprise in some
quarters is that such opportune
words should come at this time
from a Southerner. Said Mr. Lam
ar:
1t has been said that the day of
sentimental politics has passed a
way; but gentlemen, there is one
part of the Union (that part which
/ know best) which asks for this
great moral nutriment to a spirited
and noble people. We want a gov
eminent that we can love and revere
and serve from the motive ofrever-
ence and love; we hunger for pa
triotism which shall knit all the
people together in "a generous and
loving brotherhood, and which
shall be as broad as the
territory over which the ma
tional flag floats. Let me say
here that no government or nation
can prosper without this vital fire
1t is the sentiment which, acting up
on free institutions and reacting
through them upon a people, cOnsti-
tutes public spirit and political gen
ius."
Such a speech from the eloquent
representative of the South, the cleo
ton of Kerr for Speaker, and the
patriotic feeling now predominating,
augur well for the future of the
country.

Two Radical Statesmen.

Senator Morton's resolutions de-
fning the character of the Govern
ment are on a par with the foolish
suggestions contained in the presi-
dents message, that a constitution
al amendment be submitted compel
ling the States to adopt a certain
system of education. There is no
way known to the Constitution of
compelling a State to do anything,
and the amendment recommended
would revolutionize our entire sys
TEN of government. Itwould place
the Federal Government in the atti-
tude of a creator, and not the crea-
ture of the States, and seems based
upon the assumption that the pow
ers of the States are granted by the
Federal Government instead of the
powers of the Federal Government
being a grant from the States. No
person but one entirely ignorant of
our political system would have eX-
posed himself to derision and con
tempt by making such suggestion
and the fact that its author is no less
person than the president of the
United States, aggravates those feel
ings, and accompanies them with a
certain sense of humiliation and
shame.
Morton's resolution is not less
silly though more malicious. Here
are the first two:
Resolved by the Senate, the House
of RepI esentatives concurring, that
the people of the United States con
stitute a nation and are one people
in the sense of national unity.
Resolved, That the Government
of the United States is not com
pact between the States in their
primary capacity.
The worst form of ignorance is
that which is accompanied by NAL
ice. Morton, though possessing a
certain rowdy capacity, has so dwar-
fed it by the influence of a mean and
malignant heart, that he either can
not, or will not see the plainest pro-
positions of law or politics. Every
lawyers clerk knows that a resolu-
ton of Congress declaring that this
Government is a nation can not
make it so. The Constitution is
our organic law, and the character
of the Government can not be
changed without changing the pro-
visions of that instrument. Con
gress may pass a resolution every
day declaring that this is a nation,
or a monarchy, or what not, without
making it so, or in the least altering
the form or system of the Govern
ment. The declaration that 'the
Government of the United States is
not compact between tue States
may be adopted every hour during
the present session of Congress, and
yet, unless the Constitution is
changed the Government will re
main a compact-Courier Journal.

The Credit System.

In an able article on the above
subject the New Orleans Picaune
says:
"What can be done! This-make
it illegal to collect those small re-
tail debts by law. Then no man
will get credit, but upon the basis
of his industry, promptness
and honesty. If he fails to pay, he
will be protested, and can get no
more credit, and so be forced to be
punctual, whether honest or other
wise. He would be compelled to
pay or starve. This will not Cypress
the virtuous poor, who cannot pay.
They are legitimate objects of char.
ity, and generous community will
help them.

The Third Term.

Mr.. Springer, of Illinois, offered
the following resolution, and moved
the previous question on its adop-
ton.
Resolved, that in the opinion of
this House the precedent establish
ed by Washington and other Presi-
dents of the United States in retir-
ing from the presidential Office after
their second term, has become by
universal concurrence a part of our
republican system of government,
and any departure from this time
honored custom would be unwise,
unpatriotic and fraught with peril
to our free institutions.

onded and the resolution adopted,

1t has been announced by the

A Centennial Session of Con-
greSS.

=
The Philadelphia people have
struck a new idea in their Centen-
NAL fever, and are now quietly sug-
gesting to members Of Congress the
propriety of holding a session of
that body in the old State house in
Philadelphia on the Fourth of July,
1876. There seems mighty little
prospect of Congress adjourning be
fore that date, and there would not
be any obstacle TO that body lend
ing itself for one day as a sort of
side show to the Centennial adver-
Using exhibition, if It's members are
disposed to humor this conceit.-
The provision requiring the meet
ings of Congress to be in the city of
Washington, is nota constitutional,
but a statutory enactment, and it
would be possible by special law to
make a session in Philadelphia per-
fectly legal and formal.
If however, that is notregarded as
proper, the Philadelphians plead for
an informal session with due dis
play of patriotic pYrotechnics and
Columbian oratory. They are hard
at work, and no doubt will carry
their point, if the hot weather don't
send Congressman home before the
| Fourth comes.

old gentleman promptly notified
him that 1t wouldn't do, and that he
must decline the place. Senator

practice of pupils withdrawing from school
before the close of the session is not only the
cause OF serious detriment to the person so
withdrawing, but is always attended with
great annoyance and injury to the school, fre-
quently Oausing the necessity of breaking up
and recognizing classes. 1t is therefore to
be understood that when pupil enters
school, ne will be charged from that date to
the end of The session the proportional rate
of tuition and contingent fees, and no deduc-
ton will be made for absence, except in cases
OF actual sickness of one week or more. This
rule will not be departed from. It is extreme
~ desirable that pupils should euter school
at the beginning of the session If possible, so
that al the classes can be organized at once.
