In the House of Delegates on Monday ex-
Governor Smith, of Fauquier. spoke 10 favor
of retrenchment, and said that he stood com-
mi,ted to his constituents in that behalf. He
wanted to 60 back to the practice of earlier
days, when the hono1s ofthe State were sought,
not for the money, but for the dignity they con
ferred. He denied that living is more expen-
sive now than in former times. He was living
cheaper now 10 Richmond than he had lived IN
former days. Four dollars q day are amply
sufficient. He did not go to the theatre, drink
hot-wh.skey punches, eat lunches, &C. Viz.

Mr.. fuckers SpEEcH.-The speech of MIR.
John Randolph Tucker, Of Virginia, in the
House OF Representatives, yesterday, in oppo-
sition to the Centennial Appropriation bill, Was
decidedly the finest effort of The session. The
House listened, az unusual thing, tothe speech,
which was admitted on all sides to have been
able, forcible and convincing, and at its conclu-
sioo no man has been so heartily congratulate
ed, and more deservedly compIimented than
was Mr.. Tucker. He argued the question OF
the coustitutiopality of the bill with that
ability, fraukness and urbanity for which be is
distinguished, and there was no Virginian pres
ent whose pulse did not throb quicker, and
whose heart did not beat higher as the burn
ing elcquence of the orator electrified the
House, and drew down the plaudlts OF the
galleries, and as they saw old Virginia again
stand forth in the person of her gifted son, and
take her wouted place in the front ranks Of the
States, making her voice potential 10 the ma
tons councils. Mr.. Tucker INDUCED 10 no
clap-trap or levity, but treated the subject
with the gravity it deserved, and SO well
pleased was the House that, Notwithstanding
the ~!ateness of the hour, the time OF the speak
or was extended, and when be concluded the
applause from the floor and galleries was loud
and long continued. The friends of the meas
ure acknowledged that it had been struck a
serious blow, and a member, who was prescott
at the time, declared that since the famous
speech of Mcdowell, before the war, nothing
like it had been heard. Virginia has reason
to be proud of her representatives. and OF none
more than Randolph Tucker, who, yesterday,
so nobIy and with such marked ability Vindl,
Gated her proud name aud fame.

TEMPERATE, But VERY SARCASTIC.-Du
ing the DEBATE upon the Centennial Appro-
priatiou bill, on Tuesday, Mr.. WaddeiI, ofNorsh
Carolina, one Of the readiest debaters 10 the
House, in the course OF his speech, uttered the
following temperate and i~udicious sentiments,
spiced with as biting sarcasm, at the expense
of ex-Speaker Blaine, as has been heard, upon
the floor. We give the extract from the Con
gressioual Record as follows:
MI. Chairman, if it was supposed that the lrrl-
tating discussion of the past lew days would
drive Southern men from their support OF this
measure, l hope, / sincerely trust, that the re-
suit of the vote will only add announcer llluSla.
ton to the many which we have given OF how
utterly impossible it is for some people 10 IN
d~erstand and appreciate the spirit which anil
mates us. We scquit our Northern countrymen
of all responsibility for that discussion; we
know tina. they did not desire it any more t1an
VS. did. Understanding fully, seeing through
it clearly, (tor it was very transparency the NO,
tive tor the introduction of it upon this door and
attaching to that motive its exact value, we
simply wish to look down upon and pass 0y this
whole subject. We wish to act in regard to
that melancholy chapter In American history as
Noah's sons did TO him IN the hour ofhis numllla-
ton. We would, sir, with averted looks and back
ward steps cast the mantle OF oblivion over IT..
We wish these dlsturOers or the puDIc peace 70
understand that Notwithstanding the spirit ex-
hibited toward us we are too good patriots and
loo sincere men to allow that spirit either to
control US or to serve as an example to US on
this occasion. We wish to maintain the honor
and character of the American Union, and we
will do it if we are allowed to.
M. Chairman, there is one element on this
floor to which frequent illusions have been made
in the recent debaCe-an element more interest
ed in the result Of these discussions than any
other upon this floor, and which has not yet
been heard from. 1 mean the soldiers OF the
South in the late war by whatever title gentle
men may call them, and OF whom l am one.
They have sat in silence, sir, and taken the nre
which the gentleman from Maine INT. BlalneJ
has opened upon them, with no other feeling
than that of gratitude for having escaped from
so terrible an enemy Us he must have been IN
bsttle during the late wsr. (Laughter.1 IL now,
when his hair is sllvering and his natural force
perceptibly sbsting, he can develop such An
intense and bitter spirit, how must his plume
have waved in the forefront OF that connlct
which was carried on when he was young,
strong and healthy.
This element to which I allude have not yet
spoken-they could not be goaded into the DIS.
cussion. On the contrary, they have exhibited
a spirit which the American people, l believe,
win not soon forget, that OF men who net the
storm OF hate and persecution rs the swan meets
the pillows with q breast OF down, and who have
lifted above Its wild discord only the calm voice
Of peace.

INGRRSOLL,S EAGLE.


An old eagle that accompanied the eighth
Wisconsin regiment-we saw the bird in
Georgian all its campaigns still lives.
Bob Ingersoll has been speaking in this
eagles State. By the way, the bird was
exhibited at the Centennial, and while il
was perfectly self-possessed and seemingly
reckless of the presence of strangers, il
would suffer none besides its keeper to
show it any kindness. The remarkable
eagle came to the regiment in the midst OF
battle. 1t screamed and lowered over these
Wisconsin soldiers when the fight was fer
cest,s was captured and ever after kindly
cared for. 1t stood by Bob Ingersoll in his
recent political campaign in Pennsylvania
and added infinitely to the popular effect OF
.Bob's theatrical mannerism and fierce SEN
tenees. The birds manager at the close Of
specially fine sentences in Bob's bowling
dervish harangue pulled string attache d
to the birds leg and it rose ten feet in the
arr and tapped its stalwart wings most
rapturously, and thus, in vulgar eyes, Bob's
patriotism was approved by the bird of
liberty aud of Jove. Then it was that Bob
should have recited the mstchless verses of
Mrs. Browning which tell of the eagle:
He clasps the crag with hooked hands:
Close 70 the sun in lonely lands,
-a. Hinged with the azure world he stands
sra The heweinkled sea beneath him crawls;
75i Ee watches from his mountain walls
And Ike thunderbolt he falls.

AUSTIN OF TIE FUTURE.

Travellers entering Austin in coming
years at sunrise. and coming on the Inter.
national Railroad, will be charmed by ev-
cry aspect of nature. Nothing is wanting
to make the scenery along the northern
confines of the capital absolutely beautiful.
The railway follows the curve of the river,
meeting 1t as it energies from the mountain
pass at the base of Mount Bonnell. On
either side of the railway, on lofty hills
and in deep valleys, there are bright gar
dens and charming homes and pretty cot
tages, and here and there magnificent resi-
dences. The forests of cedar and live oak
are of perennial verdure, and not far away
are the pralries, from which the trains rush
to hide themselves from the coming sun in
the midst of majestic bills crowned by
grand old oaks. The International Rail-
way, bending about the northern confines
of the capital until it reaches the river
bank, follows its course even to the center
of the city. II Texans love the great COM
monwealth, and are boastful and hopeful
of its future, and proud of the virtues of
great men and pure and fsultless women,
they may also congratulate themselves that
art and industry and nature are doing their
utmost and contributing alike with lavish
hand to the perfection of every charm that
makes Austin The worthy capital of the
mighty commonwealth.

DOINGs OF THE DOCTORS.

The doctors have such an unextlnguisha-
bic aversion 10 printers ink, and have so
effeetually surrendered the advertising
pages of newspapers TO quackery that it is
hardly proper to give their transactions"
at, Marshall any extended notice. Instead
of using the newspaper press for beuefcent
purposes, they stand aloof and suffer all de-
scnptions of swiudlers in their trade TO go
unassailed before the public, and the peo-
pie have no means of separating the good
from the evil, the valuable from the worth

THE Molly Maguires have been the active
agents and promoters of Radicalism in the
mining districts of Pennsylvania. The
deeds of violence they have done and terror
ism they have wrought have exasperated
the people to the last degree and Central
Pennsylvania, we are told, will vote solidly
for Tilden. The people ask if soldiers
may be sent into South Carolina to assure
the election of Chamberlain and of Hayes,
why few regiments may not be spared to
protect life and property and suppress dis
orders III Pennsylvania. Radicals they are
confessedly who beget outrages in Pennsyl-
vania and to send soldiers thither would Of
fend the party and confess its crimes. The
colored voter is not sensitive, and then, in
the South, the necessity for armed interven-
tion is falsely ascribed to the whites and
not to the black Molly Maguires.
