The Speakership.

The discussion ABOUT the speakershlp OF
the House of Representatives has taken a
wide range, aad has been marked by show
of personal partisansdip unworthy OF the
subject. Some Democratic newspapers have
gone so far az to assail men whose names
have been mentioned in connection with the
highly honorable position. What is the
good of lhis9 None at all. The Democratic
House is capable Of electing its own presi-
ding officer, aud will make its decision with"
out regard to cf1icicus journalists.
The qualifications for the Office should be
of the highest character. The Speaker should
always be seIfpossessed, and his judgment
ever in the ascendant over his passions. dc
should be experienced, quick, clear, and dc.
cisiye, and free from all partialities and pre-
judices. He must be as nearly perfect in
purity of feeling and conscientiousness as
possible. The man who answers these re-
ouisites, or comes nearest to answering
them, should be elected Speaker.
Aud yet we see a grave editor Directing to
one man because his State voted against the
Democratic party. Certainly that editor is
is not f to select man for Speaker. If
man who was altogether fit for the station
was the only Democrat in his State be should
be elected. But that eupaosition is of course
entirely extravaganza. Democrats are far toe
abundant for the corrupt party in power in
all the States, and there will probably be q
larger crcp than ever next year. .

GRoss INJUSTICE TO TIE SOUTH Senator
BAYARp, In his anxiety to please Wall street,
ana possibly to find some excuse for the
presumption of the southern people ia
daring to differ with him as to the policy of
contraction, said to the If'ibune's inter-
viewer:
"Upon the subject Of the currency and
fuance In general there Is very little fixed
opinion among the masses Of the southern
people, and sound information is assuredly
needed" -
There never has been day when the
statesmanship OF the South was not superior
to that of the North; nor when the masses
OF the southern people were not better in.
formed than those Of the North on "the
subject of The currency and finance in gene.
raj" Mr.. BAYARp will never reach the pre-.
sidency by fatteriBg the bullionistsof New
York, nor BY expressing pity for the igno.
rant masses " OF the South.

Domestic Tragedy.

Boston, Mass, May Is. The small town
of Newbury, Essex county, was the scene of q
tragedy early this morning. VIM. Russell, a
widower, aged 80 years, quarreled With a younger
brother in his fathers house, and upon the In
lcrtereuce of his mother, a woman of 90 years,
he turned upon her With terrible ferocity, and
almos: severed her head from her body with a
shoe knife, killing heI Instantly. He then at
tackled the father aud would have killed him
but for the interference Of ncighbcrs, who Sc,
cured the murderer after a struggle. The
Younger brother and father were both badly
wounded, but will recover. As he had threat
ened TO kill the family it is supposed he is In
sane. He Is now in Jail at N1wburyport.
