TWEEDLED UNI AND TWEEDLEDEE {.
From the New York Commercial Advertiser
Messrs. Ramsdell and White, representatives Of
the journals who printed the Treaty In advance,
were brought before the bar Of the Senate, and
invited to inform that body from whom the docu-
ment was obtained. The newspapers, then fierce
in denouncing the despotism of the Senate in pro-
tecting Its dignity and seeking to discover the
parties engaged in bribing or stealing the Treaty.
are now the hercest and loudest in egging on Con-
gress to bring to light the men in Congress who
shared the $50 900. sit was despotic," cried the
Tribune, $50 attempt to gag the press" and to
compel witness, with the stolen property in his
possession, to tell what it cost to bride the SEN
stor or ofilcer Of that body from whom the Treaty
was obtained. ''If Congress fails to make Irwin,
King Co., tell TO whom they paid the money
brought 70 Washington, the country is dis
graced," rOars the very same organ that bel
lowed so loud about the shameful despotism of
the Senate in regard to the Treaty. 1t makes
all the difference IN the world, with some news
papers, whether their OK is gored or somebody
else's. But 1t is idle to talk about consistency
with partisan journals

PRESIDENT GRANT to General Emory:
"Put down that instruction. Report
" aterward. General Sheridan to Secre-
tsry Belknap: at is with deep regret that
d" have to announce to you the existence
" in this State Of a spirit of defiance to all
lawful authority and an insecurity of life
(which is hardly realized by the General
Government or country at large. The
" lives of citizens have become so jeopar-
" died that unless something is done to
" give protection to the people all security
usually afforded by law will be overrid-
"den. Defiance to laws and murder of
individuals seems to be looked upon by
1.-THE community here from a standpoint
which gives IMMUNITY to all who choose
to indulge in either, and the civil govern
"ment appears powerless to punish, or
even arrest. have tonight assumed
control over the Department of the Gull"
In these two declarations we discover the
sympathetic belief of two great soldiers
that vigorous measures are required to
meet the emergencies of the situation in
Louisiana. Grant and Sheridan are in
thorough accord. They thoroughly IN
derstand each other, and, acting in con-
cert, will secure the preservation of peace.

THROW SO IEGG THE E,IV-
Err"
4 desperate Order.

PROBABLY the most remarkable
o. der that was ever given to a railroad
official was sent last week Ia the sta
tion agent at Tarrytown, on the Hud
son River Railroad. The telegraph
message was: Open the switch and
throw "89" into the river" The
agent was amazed. lie kne8 that
49, was an extra freight train bound
south. To throw it into the river
seemed to him a crime. Yet there
was no mistake abOdt the order The
message was plain and unmistakble.
So the switch was tGrDed, and
everything was prepared to give ''S9"
a cold bath whatever might be the
consequences 10 the occupants .! the
train, or the damage to the property
of the company. But, for some
reason. "Ss" did not come. When
t was several hours behind time; the
people became anxious. 4 search
was Instituted; and the missing train
was found three niles moth, IN dis
abled condition. The explanation Of
the mysterious order soon came out,
1t appears that when So was pass
ing Sing Sing, five convicte boarded
the engine, drove off the engineer
and fireman, and opened the throt-
tle-valve to IFS fullest extent. They
were not quick enough, however, to
prevent the engineer from slyly turn
ing on the pumps. As consequence,
the boiler filled with water, the
cylinderheads we're blown out. and
the train stopped. This was a for
tunate end to the escapade: for, if the
train had confined on its way, the
railroad authorities would have been
compelled to throw it into the river
in order to save a passenger train
which occupied the track south of
Tarrytown. -NashUHe PaRner.

The tSarieh of Eden.

The latest effort 10 locate the Gar
den OF Eden places it in the western
part of this continent, and gentle
man lately read a paper before the
Essex tBostOn) Congregational church
in advocacy Of this novel theory. He
urges that this country answers to the
description given of the old world in
the Book of Genesis, and that no 9TH
er country does so, and that at the
time of the flood Noah fioated from
this continent across the ocean To the
place of its landing in Asia or Africa.
He showed that the construction Ofthe
ark fitted il for sea going vessel, that
L was aflOat long enough to have drift
ted thousands of miles, and that this
country alone furnished timber suited
for such a structure and urges that it
is probable that it would be Gods de-
sign 20 place Noah and his family in
land far distant from his former resi-
deuce. where his descendants would
see nothing to remind them of the fol-
IN and wiCkedness of the DESTROYED
race. If these novel views cannot be
cbnelYsively sustained hy evidence
the same is also true CT all other theo-
ries, and it is not to be denied that
the case is so presented as 10 make it
plausible.
If folly and wickedness could pro-
woke another flood, we might have
reason To fear that, whether this CON
tinent was the scene OF the first deinge
Or not, il would soon be Of anothcr.

Of the most respectable firms in Lon
don. and put forth as genuine book
of travels. The authors account Of
the fora, the fauna, and the inhabi-
tants of New Guinea, contains much
that is marvellous, and that certainly
has hitherto been unknown and unsus-
pected. Some of his statements, al
so, are difficult to reconcile with our
previously acquired knowledge con-
ceruing the island. Under these cir
cumstances, his narrative is likely to
be regarded much as we should view
the testimony of single, strange wit
ness to a startling fact: we do not dis
believe it, but we should like to hear
some EQrruborate evidence. This will
probably be afforded by subsequent
eXDlOrers

ON A SKULL.

We have published this poem
twice already in the NEWS, but it
is worth another insertion, and our
readers will find it worth third
and deliberate perusal.- Ed.
News.
Behold this ruin! Twas a skun
Once Of ethereal spirit full.
This narrow cell was life's retreat
This space was thoughts mysterious seat.
What beauteous visions filled thie spot
With dreams of pleasures long forgot
Nor hope, nor love, nor hate, nor fear,
Have left one trace Of record here
Beneath this mouldering canopy,
Once shone the bright and busy eye,
But start not at the dismal void
If social love that eye employed;
If with no lawless fire it cleaned
But through the dews of Kindness beamed;
That eye shall be forever bright;
When sun and stars are sunk in night.
Within this hollow cavern hung
The ready, swift, aud tuneful tongue;
If falsehood's honey it disdained,
And when 1t could not praise was chained.
If bold in virtues cause it spoke,
Yet gentle concord never broke;
The Silent tongue shall plead for thee,
When time unveils eternity.
Say, did these fingers delve the mine,
Or with the envied ruby shine?
To heE the rock, or wear the gem,
Can little now avail TO them.
But if tie page of truth they sEught,
Or comfort to the mourner brought
These hands richer need shall claim
Them all that wait on wealth or fame.
Ayails it, whether ba' or sh0d,
These feet tne paths OF duty trodH
4; If from the powers OF ease they fed,
To seek Affections humble shed ;,
If granduer's guilty bride they spurned,
And home to virtues cot returned
These feet with angels wings shall vie,
And tread the palace of th6 sEy.

EVENT and COMMENT

The Supreme Court has decided that
the State OF Tennessee is not bound
Tor the Torbett Issues of the Bank Of
Tennessee. Then farewell fruitful
theme for caustic pens.
The Memorial Ceremonies at Mem
phis last Monday week were the
grandest ever seen in the South. Fed
eral and Confederate battle flags min
gled Unfortunately and "Yank"
and "Rebn marched together.
By the way, the Secretary Of War
has granted permission to the South
ern Memorial Associations to enter
Arlington the LIST of June TO decorate
the Confederate graves, and tLey are
allowed to use the grand stand for adj
dresses. This looks like closing the
bloody chasm. Our late enemies no
longer fear our dead heroes.
Fire and the Grasshoppers are
sweeping the country North and
West. In Pennsylvania and w. Va,
forest fires have devasted vast areas,
leaving many EOuseless and homeless.
For the 4th of July the Philadelphia
Centennial COMMISSIONS have agreed
that the President Of the L. S. shall
preside. Ralph Waldo EmmeIsOn, Of
Massachusetts, is to read the Declare
ton. Charles Francis Adams and l..
q. G. LAMAR, of Mississippi, are
among the orators of the day, and
Gen. Jos. f.. Johnston is to be Master
Of Ceremonies. This helps the face
Of things very much.
Let Us place a green leaf on the
grave of the great Kentuckian who
laid down the hOnors of the Senate
that he might be with Us in the day of
our peril. Lexington in Virginia
sheds a sympathetic tear with Lex
