The bill appropriating a million
and a half Of dollars, to aid the Con-
tennial, passed tho House Of Repre-
sohtatiyes day before yesterday by a
vote Of 146 to 100, Hon. Il. II,
Lane voted in favor OF the bill,
During the discussion ON the merits
Of the bill Robbins Of North Caro-
linn said when the war broke out
North Carolina farmer had six sons
grown up to manhood, who at the
first tap of the drum won't TO the
fold to fight in the cause OF the
South. They fought from Bull Run
to Appotmatox but not all OF them.
One OF them was sleeping at Antie-
tam, ono at Chancellorviile, one at
Chickahominy and another in Ken
tucky, but two OF thom were at APP
potmatox, They had seen the flag so
down which they Ind followed with
unialtering devotion, One Of those
survivors was he who now addressed
the committee, and who now said he
had soen enough Of war and wanted
peace. He wanted reconciliation
and brotherhood all over the coun-
try. That was why ho proposed to
vote for the bill, for the tendency of
the celebration was to promote ponce
Tho soldiers had fought throughout
the war with bayenets, muskets and
oannons, and now they had coased
fighting. The reason why there was
not peace was because u few selfish,
restless, political agitators still want
cd to keep up the fight, and their
weapons were asses jaws. He was
opposed TO participation in that kind
OF warfare; he wanted peace; his
people had sent him there to talk
peace, to help bring about reconcile
alton and good understanding.
Lamar of Mississippi also spoke
in favor Of this bill, and in the
course Of his speech, he said he IA
vored the celebration in order that
the people Of tho North should be-
come satisfied Of the longing desire
of the Southern people TO live with
them in perpetual union, and before
that feeling, all others sunk into in
significance He deprecated an nj
lusion made by Townsend, OF New
York, last week, to Preston Brooks,
and intmated that the ineyi able ef-
feet Of the allusion was to excite
passion, 10 inhamo animosily, and to
awake the hatred Of sectiunalism.
He, Lamar, advocated the scheme
because 1t carried out the spirit of
peace and reconciliation. The cur
rents Of passion and feeling might
flow hither and thither, lashod by
extranoous agencies, but there was
in the great sea unsounded depth Of
cammsn humanity. common interest
and patriotism which lay unspoken.

In the light Of the pocalations,
fraud and fascality perpetrated upon
the country with perfect security
during the turbulent days Of the re-
bellion, it is now an encouraging
sign Of the times to motto how rapid
ly men fall in public estimation after
they are suspicionod OF dishonesty
in the public service, We all re-
member, not long since, when sue
cessfnl thief could buy his way into
society with his iI-gotten plumber
and be reckoned rs good as anybody,
But that disgraoetul era closed when
the Democrats OF New York hurled
Tweed and his associates from place
and power and consigned many OF
them TO the Ponitentiary; and when
tho bravo and honest Tilden followed
this up with determined onslaught
upon the gigantic New York Canal
Ring the back of public corruption
was broken, and tho example thus
set was irresistably followed by those
in authority throughout the whole
nation; crimes OF that character were
made odious and reformed and re-
generated public opinion demanded
that Joyce should so to prison; that
BabooclS should be indicted, and that
Grant himself should ho closely
watched. 1t is safe to assert that in
the present state Of the public mind,
Grant, if proven guilty, would be
forced to wear the prison stripes the
same as Tweed, Babcock, Joyce and
Mcdonald.
There is reaction in favor OF
honesty and the sentiment of the
country is strongly in favor of re-
turn to tho good old days, when men
stood on their honor and not alone
on their dollars.
1t is encouraging then, we say, to
think that the youth of our land are
again being educated into the belief
that it is better to be the poor but
honest Wilson, than the prosperous
Grant; better to wear tho rags of
poverty than the uniform OF Tweed
and Joyce; and better TO be poor,
but honest, than revol in stolen
wealth.

6pEAKER KERRs friends say that
his best work in the composition OF
the committees has escaped general
notice, and that it is in the arrange
ment Of the committees on expendi-
lures in the various departments
BY the rule of the house creating
them, they are given power to tzam-
inc into the payment Of all accounts,
and as TO the sufliciency Of vouchers,
TO see that the moneys are expended
strictly according TO appropriation.
They are also charged with reporting
all abuses in the departments to the
house, and all retrenchments which
they think proper, having due regard
to the efficiency Of the service. On
these committees, which are Of es-
pecial Importance, just now, in in
nugurating and perfceting the work
Of retrenchment and reform, are
nome Of the best and ableat members
Of the house.

II is snid that HolladaY has dis
posed Of his railroad interests in this

whom are now en- route for Oregon
to take charge Of the business; and

The more decent white people of
South Carolina arc getting on thoir
dignity at last, and attempting to pu-
risy and reconstruct" the carpet
bag ana niggor eoonstructionists of
thatunfortunRte commonwealth. BY
q series Of base tricks only.known to
the average carpet-bagger, two noto-
rious politicians, named respectively
Whipper and Moses, succeeded in
capturing the Legislature and elect
ing themselves Judges of the First
and Third Districts, The first
named is a degraded negro and the
last 10 q still more diseputable white
man, To illustrate the character of
these two "Judgos" it is only necCs-
sary to state that after thoir election
they formed at the head OF a process
aion OF drunken negroes and carpet
baggers and celebrated thoir victory
by marching through the streets of
Charleston, whooping and singing
Bachanalian airs,
It is gratifying to know however,
that thu people of that State have re-
solved not to tolerate the infiction
of these miscreants upon them in
so high and honorable capacity as
Judges, and to this end have secured
the promise Of the Governor of that
State that he will not sign their
commissions nor recognize in any
why their election. Ii is also said
that the citizens of that State are
about to secure the indictment of
both of them for high crimes-Whip-
per for an embezzlenent of the sink
ing funds OF the State and Moses for
being 3 party to the great "Hum-
bert steal" perpetrated upon that
State few years ago by band of
carpet-bag politicians who have for
the past ten years swayed the desti-
nias Of the once proud Palmetto
State. 1t is indeed gratifying to see
that the people have become aroused
to the necessity of vigorous action
against these williams of the South.
The only wonder is that they have
stood the inhiction 80 long. But o
crashed and aown-trodden people,
when once aroused to action, are not
to be retarded by any common meas
ures Of opposition, and we now hope
that, with the assistance and support
Of the conservative, order loving
people of the North, this Centennial
year viii witness the freedom of the
South from carpet-bag rule, and the
re-cstablishment OF those State Gov
ernmsnts upon the high pedestal of
honor and dignity upon which they
once so proudly rested.

Tho Republicans Of this county,
headed by tho Hon. Hiram Smith,
have determined to make more than
an ordinary fight for county suprem-
acy, They will consolidate their Of
forts for a grand coup de eli in this
Centennial year, and Their partial
success in 1874 gives item some
hope Of carrying few points in the
coming contest There ON be no
question but that Linn county is
three hundred majority Democratic,
but this majority may be materially
diminished, or even entirely over
come, by reason Of mistakes in our
own party; hence tho Decossity Of
care and circumspection in the selec-
ton Of our candidates for county
offices and for the Legislature. Our
party should DO especially careful to
avoid any and all attempts to nomi-
nate members Of tho Legislature
who are committed to the interests
of any particular man for the United
Statea Senate. Lot oyery candidate
stand on his own merits and be nom
mated because of his known party
fealty and devotion, and trust to
those requisites to hold him to n
faithful performance Of his duties

WARNING TO DELINQUENT sUnsCRI
BEERS.

A Russian paper announces that n
belief in the approaching end Of the
world has seized on the Cossacks of
the Don. Many, especially aged
people, aro giving up worldly affairs,
wearing n shroud, and ordering their
collins On overy road are men re-
pairing to Moscow to be consecrated
priesta, in order that the smallest viii
lage may have its own priest and
church. The Russian paper fails to
state whether its delinquent subscn-
bers have taken the scare and paid
up, That to our mind would be
stronger evidence Of tho approach Of
the Millennium than any thing that
asupersLitious Cossack could advance.
