THE FALL OF A LEARNED MAN.-The
evidence against Professor Siiliman, the
chemical, radical and original alolitionist,
must be crushing, when the Washington
"Chronicle" speaks of him as follows -
professor Sillim IN s fall is more grievous
than that of a mere politician, however
prominent. He had devoted his life to the
cause of science, and had revell I'd in the
realms of Natures truths, until he had
succeeded in writing his name high on the
temple Of fame. And yet it now appears
clear that for the paltry consideration of
$25, 900 he lent himself to the Emma mine
swindle, which has disgraced more than
one American on the pages of current Brit
ish history. The votaries of science and
the lovers Of letters throughout the world
will lament his fall"

SdaFtes
My only motive in noticing the card of
Maj. Bell, is to repeat the statement of
facts made in my communication to the
City Council, of which he complains, but
which he fails to refute.
My information in regard to Mai. Bells
statement before the Council was received
from members of the Council who "aoere
present." and the report as made in che
Staunton VINDICAToR. Councilmen ''pre-
sent' thought the statement, as made, 6,e-
manded in explanation from me, l there
fore gave the facts, which [ here repeat.
Maj Bell said II had had a tax collec5ed
to pay the lady teachers" l replied, s'1he
President OF the School Board was no more
instrumental in having the tax referred to
collected, than the smallest boy in his
school. The tax was collected solely by the
persistent efforts made through this Of
fice." Maj. Bell does not controyert this
statement.
Maj Bell also stated that eight of the
lady teachers had not been paid since Nov.
[ said and say again, the lady teachers
have been paid regularly. The record
shows that they were paid in September,
were paid in November, were paid in De-
paid in February, the last payment by city
funds in Maj. Bells hands.
All lady teacher accounts that have
been presented to the Council have been
allowed and paid. It the accounts have
not been presented the omission to do so
must lie, not against the City Council, nor
the City Treasury, but against the City
School lioard having the matter under
control, and over which Maj. Bell presides.
Lastly, Maj Bell added the ''disgraceful
fact that these teachers often suffered a
shave of from ten to fifteen per cent. on
the script paid them" gave the fact to
show that this statement Was incorrect as
to this scholastic year. 1 hardly think the
president of the School Board can get q
certificate from the lady teachers that they
have i'll their possession unpaid acdrrants
for two months salary, or that they have
often, during this scholastic year, ''shav-
ed their warrants at from ten per cent. to
fifteen per cent. discount"
| merely wish to say in regard to the
suggested falsehood, brought forward in
Maj. Bells card, that it is entirely gratui-
touS with him, and his comments thereon
unnecessary and uncalled for.
[ did not undertake to attribute any
motive to Maj. Bell in making his state
merit before the Council, but thought then,
as 1 now do, that he made it without a full
knowledge of all Che facts to guide him.
[ have 10 controversy with Maj. Bell, and
do not intend to be drawn into one, but,
having given the facts to the City Council
and the public, have done with the mat
ter. HEBER KER.

AN HONEST ADMIssION.-There is at
least one Republican paper honest enougI-
enough to admit that there was unblushing
and disgraceful bribery in the New Hamp-
shire election. and that is the Boston "Ad-
vertiser.' 1t says:
We rejoice over the triumph in. New
Hampshire so far as it is a victory of good
principles over bad, but we regret it so far
as it is a triumph OF trickery and of money.
If the Republicans of New Hampshire
want reform, let them begin at home and
reform themselves. In their way they have
done things quite as bad as that for which
the country condemns Belknap. The po-
litical atmosphere is foul with the ccrrup-
ton. II The party cannot win without
bribery, let it turn it's attention to awaken
ing the'public conscience. and, meanwhile
leave bribery and political success to the
party which has no scruples on the subject
in any State.

THE. NEW BoNNET.-Of course, the
ladies want to know all about it, and SO
we will tell them what the New York cor
respondent of the Baltimore American"
has to say on the subject. 1t is as follows:
''But I meant to tell you something
about the new bonnets, when these remln-
iscences got the better of me. Is this sign
garrulity of advancing age?l One OF tne
carricatures of them which has alreaoy
appeared is a wide foWerpot, with foun-
tain casting up spray in the middle. There
is, indeed, a little ground for that bit OF
horticultural sarcasm. We are fioWery
this year, very-last year was nothing to
it. Hats fer evening and dress purposes
are covered entirely with small, delicate
flowers, such as health, coWslip, EngllSn
vio!ets, Scotch harebells. and the delicate
little ''nonesuch (Which is rarely seen in
this country. except as imported artltl-
cially.
The shapes differ little from those OF
last season, but the straWs and chips are
fine and soft, and ivory white, very deli
cate, and very becoming to the face. Dark
straWs are very little used, except as brlms
from one to two inches in depth, to the
light ones. Melted scarfs and soft silk
handkerchiefs are used to form crowns, a
corner of which Is disposed as a soft loop
at the back, or hangs down, and is lost
amid sprays of flowers and long streamers
of pale cream, Or Valenciennes lace. The
latter is the lace used for really elegant
bonnets, cOlored cashmere lace, which has
become common, and the fine pleatings OF
crepe liSSe, which were used SO largely
during the past summers.
Another method ,resorted to differentiate
stylish bonnets and hats from the common
herd is to bleach the coarse yellow wooden
laces and stint" Valenciennes by dipping
it, as ladies do thsir rich laces, in cup OF
boiling wates sweetened with three or four
Jumps of loaf sugar, and colored with a
tablespoonful of clear, strong, liquid cof-
fee. This stiffens and colors it exactly
equal to new cold" lace"

chains, for they would inevitably be put
on you. The poor mans cow that gives

instanced the different denominations, the
Catholics, the Methodists, the Presbyteri-
ans, the Baptists, &C., and said that which
ever prevailed would dominate over every
body. Speaking Of the Baptists, he said
that if they should get ascendancy they
would drown everybody who did not agree
with them.
ANXIOUS FOR THE COUNTRY CHURCHES
Mr.. Lacy said that as the proposed tax
bore at present only upon the city churches
he should have kept silent but for the
probability that the next tax bill will be
so framed as to include the country
churches. This year it is the city church.
es, next year it will be all churches every
where in tie State, And how will you col
lect such tax? VIII you send your tax
gatherer to time-honored St. Johns and
tell him to lay his hand upon its sacred al
tar. to take the cross from it, the colfsecra-
ted goDlets for the communion service, the
tomb-stones from the graves, and sell them
at public auction He was as much op-
posed to taxing city as country churches.
When the State claims to own the church
property. its Bibles, affairs, and all it's sa-
cred things, is not that a union Of Church
and State? He was for keeping Church
and State apart. MIR. Lacy referred elo-
quentIy to old st. Peters Church in New
Kent county, and to other old colonial
churches, and spoke of their dissertation
by the sacreligious hands of the taX-gath-
erer.
WANTED FAIR PLAY.
Mr.. Dooley could not sit silent and hear
the appeals made to prejudice without
laising his voice against them. If the FL
nance Committee had brought in a bill
based upon the principles they profess, he
should probably have approved it. But
they had not had the moral courage to dc
so. This bill was to tax some church prop
erty and not to tax other church property
This was their theory of separation OF
Church and State. He spoke with great
force against discriminating between the
country and city churches. He would &C
as far as any one to raise revenue, but he
| wanted to do so by method fair to all the
people.
Mr.. Sheffey admitted the constitutional
right to tax all property, subject to the
limitation that the tax shall be uniform
and in proportion to value. Can you ex-
empt one institution of learning and not
exempt another, one church and not anoth
er No! You must exempt all or tax all
You cannot exempt the University and tax
Margaret Academy. The choice is to tax
all or exempt all. The bill IS new depar.
ture in legislation and is in conflict with
the true principles of taxation. 1t taxes
one class of churches, those of the cities
and exempts others, those in the country.
He warned the House not to initiate a
policy that may be perverted to the. most
mischievous purposes.
