quisitiyeness of a great many of the visitors

persist that in seeing ihe sights they should by
all means take an observation of the Treasury

except the Indian leadership at Fort
Peck, Dakota Territory, which he
voluntarily gave up a year ago, after
losing several thousand dollars. Or
vile Grant denies in the most posi-

that ''upon such a platform we trust

A LEADER WHO DOES NOT LEAD.

Poor Morrison! What an uncom-
Portable time he is having of it, to be
sure. Not being able,to get up, by
himself, a bill enacting the "revenue
reform" promises of his party. he had
the wit to call in a couple of profess
SIGNALS, by whom a was con-
cocted and put Off upon the country
in his name. We are now told that
while ii is possible his committee
may so far defer TO his wishes as 10
allow the bill TO be reported in a
modified form, the majority of his
party are opposed to il, and opposed
to any legislation on the subject Int
the present session. And SO fades
away the glory Of leadership. The
leader seems to have been badly
treated. Holman and Randall have
succeeded better than the nan pick
ed out by Dir. Speaker for ~the-leader-
ship. No wonder that Kerr has be-
come sick, and retired from the
Speakers chair. Holman and Ran
dali have carried a series of blind,
laundering reductions of appropria-
tions, a large part of which will have
to be supplied by Congress next win
ter ; but these master strokes of poll
cy were the only things on which
the victorious Democracy could unite.
The leader, Mr.. Morrison, has been
wholly ignored and will soon be a
leader without any followers.

Methodist Episcopal mission church
at G~reenpoint, on Sunday. that, two

apopiexy, and, a year ago, Samuel,
another brother, also died after a
short illness, and on receiving news
of the latter's death, the preacher as
serted that il would be his turn next
year, a prophecy that was, strangely
enough, fulfilled, last Sunday. Mr..
Longley entered the pulpit in his
usual health, and had nearly conclu-
ded a discourse of unusual earnest
ness, when he advanced to the front
of the platform, ard raising his right
hand, solemnly exclaimed "You
can have salvation where you sit.

spread over his face, he staggered
wildly backward, stumbled TO his
seat and fell heavily TO the floor.
He was born in Bingham, Me-, In

The attempted impeachment of
Governor Kellogg, of Louisiana, has
failed ignominiously. 1t was a scan
dalous and shabby affair from begin
ming to end. The body which at
tempted it is the same which, with
the assent of the Democratic leaders,
pledged itself, under the terms of
the Wheeler compromise, not to dis
turb Governor Kellogg for alleged Of
lenses prior TO that agreement. Not
only did the Democratic majority vi
olate its plighted word. but il refused
the Governor mis- lawful right to APP
pear in person or by attorney before
the committee, and finally attempted
to prosecute the impeachment by
managers appointed by the Speaker
out-of-doors after the Assembly had
adjourned. The Senate very proper
ly refused to entertain the charges,
and dismissed the case. This action
seems 10 SoaIcile' with the wishes of
tn best elements in Louisiana, Of
Dof' irt'iSS. IL Will NC ItilciilOercu
that the Democratic leaders in Wash
ington attempted to revive this ques-
ton, and set aside the Wheeler COM
promise on TIE first day of the ses-
sion, but they were SO CALAMITY met
by the minority that they gladly re-
treated, though in great disorder.
The same bad faith has now been ex-
hibited in Louisiana, and has Justly
met with defeat. We are urged to
believe that the Democratic party
at the South is made up of gentle
men, who, above all things, prize
their word of honor but in this case
they have behaved like the vcriest
''scallawags."
