We do not expect the debates of the House
Of Representatives to bc digniiled, for dignity
has always been rare in any body 81 cOnsti
tuted The popular branch is much like two
or three party conventions rolled into one.
Constituencies are various, that very queer
creature, sometimes turn up with the necessary
credentials, and there ia nothing for ii but to
give them ihc liberty or the license of th"
arena. Debate naturally takes IA colloquial
turn, as it does IN the House of Commons, the
deliberations of which Mr.. Canning. in talking
with Minister Rush, happily characterized rs
"an animated conversation upon public
affairs The Speaker may hammer until
he is scarlet of countcnance, but We
have noticed that these verbal fcnccrs
usually conrive to say what they wish to say.
Nor is il easy To keep IL body - popular from
cheering, stamping, and the smtlng together of
hands. There have been highly dscrcditablc
scenes even in the House of Lords they have
been common in the other branch of the British
Parliament. The free use Of the tongue il
better than the free use of the list and thunder
storm OF personalities may be tolerated, If
nobody Is Knocked down. When it comes to
fights on the floor, and to striking out from
the shoulder, il is certainly best to summon the
Srrgcant-at at-Ams. Not that wmthful members
will be much terrified by his appearance. He
maintains, however tho fiction of dignity and
order; and that il something. He will kill
nobody, but he is "a grave institution
Having thus waived the matter of order or
of disorder, of keeping to the question or of
rambling leagues away from it, and being
ready to concede to the wits and humorists
of the House franchise of fun, of
sharp rejoinder and of brilliant attack
We expect them to be drol acute, and spark
ling. Something is due to that fine sense of
humor which the country unquesti0naby pos
scsscs; and if we arc to have parliamentary
righteousness let us by no means be put of
with chaif which would be fiat in echoOlbOys
wasting their precious pay-t in wranglng.
Perhaps the words, "You are another" are
constitutional; if they are there is an oppor
tunity for an additional amendment We do
not propose to enter upon any special criticism
OF the dispute in the House on Friday last.
1t is of no consequence whether the honorable
gentleman from New-YOrk called the hOnora
bls gentleman from Maine "Pup" or "Bub.'
The "Shoo Fly" rejoinder may have been
whitening, but we have known statesmen In
our day who would have received it with
kind Of good-natured incredulity. Mr.. Cox

all the votes it can get. Hence 1t does not
seem clear that Gov. Hayes is the best and
strongest nomination the Republicans can make.
But it il good thing that Senator Sherman
has set an example to the doughfaces. Men who
have the good sense and the pluck to tell the
President that his nomination would be sui

shirk the work of genuine and thorough ro-
form, in proportion as they dodge The vital issues
of the day, they insure their defeat, If not IN

only be folly for any party to nominate man

The recent sales of American printed cotton
goods in England have created more alarm
there than the circumstances warranted. Our
Fall River correspondence shows that the chief
cause for this reversal of the currents of trade
Is the temporary depression of our home mar
ket. There is little probability that such con-
ditions here can long continue, though there
is ground for believing that the present manu-
facturc of cotton goods in England does not
afford suitable supply for all her markets.

1t may perhaps be regarded as significant
fact that with the opening of the debate on
resuming specie payment, the House thins and
very few of the members seats are occupied.
The question is evidently less interesting to
Congressman than to the people whom they
represent Mr.. Schlecher's plan for resump-
ton has the merit of proposing that something
be done to that end, and speedily; but it be-
gins by repeating the act of 1875, which at
least promises specie payment. and the danger
is that that repeal will be the only part of
such plans to become law.

By tho arrest and confession of the murderer
OF Simmons, another is added to this Winters
long list of candidates for the gallows The
crime itself seems at least in part to have
been instigated by jealousy, and was possibly
q tragic termination of a drunken brawl. But
the afterwOrk of the murderer in cutting the
body into fragments, the discovery Of the dis
severed head, and the slender clew which led
to the detection of the criminal, give this case
q horrible interest which is all its own. Per-
haps the nearest approach in former murder
cases TO some Of the details of this one is to
be found in the efforts which Prof. Webster
made to dispose of the body of DIR. Parkman.
