BLAINE.

EX-Speaker Blaine's red-handed speech, in
the House of Representatives, one day last
week, on the general amnesty BILL the defeat
of which he secured by parliamentary tactics,
will forever stamp him us demagogue and
no statesman, Protesting in private life
kindly heart, and the desire for n restoration
ofpeace and good will among all the citizens
of n common country, he yet made q speech,
whose virulencc could scarcely be equalled by
Ben Butler, and which, we fear, will undo
much that las been done towards restoring
the harmony so much desired by the right
thinking people Of every State. Mr.. Blaine
appealed to and evoked the worst passions
which were rampant during our late civil
war, and raised again the bloody war stand
ard, hoping to attract following sufficient
to secure for himself the Republican nomi.
nation for President.
His speech, wcrepeat, was that of dcma-
gogue, and it showed his remarkable unfit
ness for the Presidency fit expressed truly
his own feelings, it displayed too much
sectional feeling and too great bitterness TO-
wards the people of the South If it was
only for the purpose OF firing the Northern
heart, and did rot express The sentiments
whol lie holds at heat, then it was dishon-
est, and deserves the condemnation of every
honest man.
The people are sick and weary of such at
tcmpts TO re open the old wounds which
were rapidly healing over, and which il was
hoped the present Centennial year would
sec closed forever They want everything
oblicratcd that would remind them of the
bloody conflict that for four long and bitter
years ragged between brethren. They want to
see n restored Union, in which the "Lost
Cause" will be forgotten, or dimly remember
el, as one remembers long-ago sorrows and
disappointments
The granting of general amnesty TO all
whose connection with the dead and gone
Confcderacy has debarrcd from political
privileges in the Union, would have been a
long step in the direction orpcace. 1t would
have been fitting and graceful act on the
part of the North in this Centennial year,
and would have been accepted by the South
as pledge of the return ofbro,herly feeling.
The South would have responded to such
generous sentiments, and the Centennial
year would indeed be the year of jubilee. 1t
is just such demagogues as Ex-Speaker
Blaine whose utterances keep alive sectional
dscord and animosity.

The SCHOOL QUESTION IN NATIONAL
PoLITIcs-Mr. O'Bren, of Baltimore, intro
duced joint resolution in the House of Rep
resentatives on Monday, proposing an amend
ment TO the Constitution of the United States,
which provides that no State shall make any
law in respect TO the establishment ofany re-
ligion, and that no minister or preacher shall
hold any office Of trust or profit under any
State or the United States nor shall any re-
ligious test be required under any State OF
United States law 1t provides further that
no appropriation of money or lands for pub
lie schools shall be given TO schools under
sectarian influence, and that no minister or
preacher shall hold office in any school sup
ported in whole or in part by taxation of the
people. This resolution, coming from n
Catholic Democrat representing Democrat
ic State, renders somewhat unnecessary the
efforts of General Grant, Bishop Haven and
Mr. Blaine to rescue the public schools from
"seclarian" influence Baltimore Gazette.

TIE Grow HEAD LAw-Mr. BOYLE, from

ducc in the Legislature n bill to exempt Har-
ford and Montgomery counties from the OPP
erations of the law providing bounty for
crow heads. Public opinion in regard to
this much. abused member of the feathered
family has undergone change within the
last few years, and crows are now regarded
as the friends instead of the foes ofthe farmer,
The small amount ofinjury they do in pluck
ing up corn is believed to be more than COM
pensated by the vast number of cut worms
and other pests which they destroy. Last
year large number of crows were killed by
means of poisoned corn, and the amount of
bounty paid by the county reached several
hundred dollars. 1t is scarcely probable that
the crows thus destroyed ever inflicted dam
age amounting to one-tenth of the money
paid for their heads. The repeal of the law
is wise measure, and we hope the whole
State will be included in the bill.
