Ex-Speaker Blaine, as Presidential candi-
date, does not like the idea of the third-term
people getting ahead OF him on any of the
popular issues. Mr.. Blaine is now out with
a proposition which, he says, will settle the
public school question for all time. He pro-
poses the following as Constitutional amend
ment: No State shall make any law respect
ing an establishment of religion or prohibit
ing the free exercise thereof; and no money
raised by taxation in any State for the sup
port of public schools, or derived from any
pubic fund therefor, shall ever be under the
control of any religious sect, nor shall any
money so raised ever be divided between re-
Ggious sects or denominations.

Horace Greeley's Birthplace.
A PROJECT TO REMOVE THE OLD HOUSE TO THE

New Hampshire's headquarters at the Pnila-
delphia Centennial exhibition spot of na-
tional interest It is proposed to purchase
and remove there the house in which Horace
Greeley was born. The house now stands on
the old Greeley farm in Amherst, about five
miles from Manchester. 1t is very old
fashioned, oak-framed, story. and-a half build
ing, 80 by 40, with y foot stud, and contains
four rooms. The occupant is an aged man
named William Brown. who has lived on the
place nearly halt century.
He was friend of the father of the great
Journalist, and did him good service in days
of extreme poverty, when his sudden depar-
ture saved him from imprisonment for debt
The old farm is of but little value, but of
late years has proved a source of profit
through the conversion of apple trees into
canes for relic hunters Though in 1874
Brown was ready, as a good Milerite, to as
cend TO heaven and leave his earthly goods,
and has prepared himself for the aerial trip
several times since, now at the advanced age
of "a. when nature has arranged for him to
ascend in the regular way, he clings with OBJ
stinacy to the things of this life. He wants
$4,000 for the old house, which is barely worth
quarter of that amount. The State Cen
tennial Commission are ready to build him a
new one in place of the old one, but more
than that their funds will not allow.

The Arabian Horse.

The Sporting Times, speaking Of the Arabian
horse, says: Lord Straithnairn holds con-
temptible opinion of the English race-horse,
and like many men who have been in Iudia,
he has long stories to tell about the excellence
of the Arab. He was one of the Royal Com
missioners on the horse question, and irri-
tated Admiral Rous by asking him whether it
would not be advisable to prohibit horses
being trained before they are six years old.
GAS we'll try and make a soldier of an old
man Of sixty" was the reply. At Goodwood
last year, when Lord Straithnairn was telling
one of his stories concerning horse he had
that was descended from a famous Arab mare
that had been presented to him in India, Mr.
Gerard Sturt remarked that he would back
the worst horse in his stable to run him over
the Bacon course and give him e10. A match
was accordingly made for elO0, and was run
the first week in May. Lord Straithnairn had
the best of it, as Mr.. Fox, on whom 7 to was
betted, broke down mile from home. Not
outstanding this, however, strange to say
he was beaten by only half length. If Lord
Straithnairn is wise, he will be satisfied with
this stroke of luck, and not make any more
matches.

l. An inquiry as to the methods by which
the passage of she supplementary law Of 1869
was secured, making the $40 bonds payable
in gold.
q An inquiry as to the means by which the
Syndicate was organized in the reign OF Bout

the Land Ring in the Department OF the ln-
terror.
f. An investigation of the contract system
in the Navy Department.
5. An investigation Of the conduct of Will
liams in the Department of Justice. This
will involve three branches of inquiry-one
in respect to the general abuses in the South
ern District, one in regard to the behavior of
the Attorney General in the Louisiana matter,
and one as to the administration of justice in
the District of Columbia when Williams was
Attorney General and Fisher District Attor-

Chicago Custom House, the New York Post
otfice and several other important public
buildings.
s. A re-opening of the District of Columbia
investigation, SO far as the "Rsal Estate

Besides these, there will undoubtedly be a
number of minor investigations set on foot
during the session to inquire into special in
stances of fraud.

Hanc0ck's Chair and the Table on Which
Thomas jefferson Wrote the Declara-
ton of Independence.
IPhiladelphia Times. No.

Two of the most venerable relics in the
National Museum are the official chair OF
Hancock and the table upon which Jefferson
wrote the Declaration of Independence. They
were transferred with the Assembly from
Philadelphia to Lancaster in 1779 from thence
to Harrisburg in 1872, where the chair was
occupied by the successive Speakers of the
House until 1867, when at the request of the
Historical Society, they were brought back to
Independence Hail. The chief historical
connection of the chair is with the Continental
Congress of 1776 and the Constitutional Con-
venuon of 1877. II is, therefore, the chair of
Washington as we'll as Hancock. Around the
table mentioned gathered Washington, Frank
lin, John Adams. Sherman and Livingston to
sign the memorable document; and when,
eleven years afterward, Washington sat in
that chair presiding over the Constitutional
Convention, it was upon this same table that
the instrument containing the organic lew OF
the Union was signed.

THE PRESIDENT AND THE RINGS.

President Grant advises the crooked
whisky" prosecutors in the West to "let ne
guilty person escape" At the same time
Babceck exclaims that he is absolutely in
nocent" Is it 10 be presumed that the Presi
dents sudden zeal for the punishment of the
scrooked" whisky conspirators so alarmed biz
friend Babcock as to force from that person
this vehement protestation of his innocence
Perhaps SO. At all events, it is rather re.
markable that the Presidents suggestion as
to the prosecution of the guilty ring
should have been concurrent with the deve-
lopments which tended to show the compli.
city OF his friend Babcock in the frauds, and
with the conviction Of men known
to be his intimate associates. Ii
further inquiry and investigation should
show that Babcock was really coadJutor and
partner of the "crooked whisky distillers,
it will be presumed that Grant has not only
deserted his friends in the hour Of their need,
but that he is quite willing to turn their stcri-
flee to his own account. But in this purpose
he will probably fail. II will be hard to make
entirely ignorant of the character of the men
by whom he has been surrounded, and who
have enjoyed his confidence and protection;
and whether ignorant or not OF their raids
upon the public Treasury, public opinion
will visit upon him a large measure OF re-
sponsibility for their acts IT this were
the first instance of the kind 1t
might be easy for the President to escape
from this responsibility. But it so happens
that almost every one of the frauds that have
disgraced the history of the last few years has
been patronized by the intimate personal
friends of the President, and almost every
ring organized for the plumber of the Treas
ury has been more or less directly connected
with the White House. The "Black Friday :"
conspiracy the Washington safe burglary,
the Indian Bureau swindles, and now the
"crooked whisky" frauds, were all organ
lied and carried out by men who were
known to be personal friends of the President
and who have enjoyed his confidence even
since the exposure of their criminal conduct
1t is, therefore, reasonable to suppose that
President Grants simulated zeal for the
punishment of all guilty persons is only an
attempt to break the force of public opinion
which was fast coming to regard the Execu-
tive as the patronland protector of the con-
spirators IT Babcock shall be shown to be
implicated in the criminal transactions for
which Joyce and Mcdonald have been con-
victed, this suspicion will ripen into convic-
ton which it will be hard to shake.

The Coming Session Of Congress.
DEMOCRATS WILL ELECT THE SPEAKER.

DEMOCRATS WILL ELECT THE SPEAKER.
washington Correspondence N. Y. World.l
Democrats will elect the speaker. The talk
of coalition between Republicans and Demo-
Gratis, for the purpose Of opposing soft-money
Speaker, is nonsensical; for in no State, not
even in Ohio, has the Republican party given
honest token of its adhesion to sound hard
money doctrine. To the cheat put forth in
stead of that sound doctrine, tremend-
GUS effort will be made this winter,
especially in the Senate, to give ef-
feet, as against a possible hating, indie
cisive financial policy on the part of the Dem
ooratic House. Morton (who can not run) is 60
ing to do his level best to push Grants chances
for reelection on this ground, among Others
That Grant favors corduroy-road return to
specie payments. Morton blockaded that
road last year. He will smooth it this year
with a specious argument and political device
and he will be followed by every Republican
member of Congress in his own State, and by
many more Republican members in the West
and South. He has learned some new dark
ways and vain tricks, even if Democrats in
his own neighborhood have not learned sense.
Western Republicans believe him to be the
most irresistible political trickster and mana
ger in the country, and that under him they
can win. 1t is for Democrats to oppose to the
Kaleidoscope e1octS OF Sucn a pOHtlcdl
changeling firm and clean-cut plan of fnan-
cial reform.
Attempts will also be made in the Senate to
forestall the action Of the House and engage
the attention Of the nation by sham devices OF
administrative reform. Arrangem are
perfecting between the leaders of the Repub-
lican party in both Houses Of Congress, by
which
l. The Republican Senate is to behave
itself in an ostentatiously exemplary manner
during the first few weeks of the session.
g. Members of the Republican minority in
the House are to introduce all the subsidy and
other jobs, trusting to the disffection and
local prejudices of Western Democratic men,
bers to assist their passage; and the Senate is
to come in and confirm them at the tail end of
the session Among these jobs are the South
ern Pacific Railway subsidy, the appropria-
ton asked for the Mississippi levees, and the
proposed appropriation for the James River
and KanaWha Canal.
So reasons accumulate for the selection of a
thoroughly Democratic, brave, impartial
Speaker.

ccribes the condition of affairs vastly i'm
proved under the presidency of Lerdo. Ten
years ago all was anarchy and confusion. Now
all is peace and progress. Since the days Of

general quiet and prosperity. Railroads have
been constructed, highways repaired, mashes
and lakes drained, canals dug and manutac-
lures encouraged. A railroad is opening rapid
transit between the City of Mexico and some
of the most populous towns and districts of

The only feature at the st. Louis Conven-
ton which merited the condemnation of the
entire Southern people, was the treatment
that Mr.. Davis was subjected to. When en-
that ex-President Davis be rendered seat on
the platform where were seated Gems. John
ston, Beauregard and Sherman, there were
cries of no no over the hall. This was an
unmerited indignity. Mr.. Davis. as chair
man of the Mississippi delegation. had as
much right in that body as any one had.
And if Northern and Western men tender the
olive branch with the condition that ex-Presi-
dent Davis shall be ostracised in public where
ever he appears, we do not value the offer.

While the new Congress will doubtless be
greatly engrossed this winter in the investi-
cation of Republican frauds, and in relieving
the various departments of the government
from the accumulated results OF imbecility
and Encouragement, it is not to be supposed
for a moment that matters of current neces-
sity will be neglected. Not only is the honor
of the nation to be vindicated, but the welfare
of the people to be promoted; and while
opinions as to certain leading measures Of
policy may not take practical and definite
shape at the coming session, there is no doubt
that all legislation pertaining to the immedl-
ate wants of the country will be taken earnest
ly in hand, and scrupulous attention given to
the rights and interests of every section.
Hence there is no reason why the Southern
Pacific L !ilroad proposition should not come
in for its full share OF consideration and be
acted upon during the present winter. A
contrary opinion is sought to be conveyed by
the opponents OF the road and the leading
journals which represent their views; but, for
The most part, the minds CT Southern and
Western Congressman are already fully made
up in support of the measure, and in a deter
minaton to push it forward to an early con-
summation. Nothing less than this is due
to the section OF country more directly inter-
ested, to say nothing of the general interests
of trade that depend so largely upon the con-
struction of this competing line. st. Louis
