The New York SnH is supposed to be
an exceedingly popular journal; but we
submit thai, i its issue of yesterday is any
criterion, it must rely for its popularity
upon morbltir sensual appetites. On the
first page at that issue we find a number of
articles, TIC character of which may be
Judged frcm the following quotations
Of displayel head lines - Another
Brothers Crime-A Methodist Exhorter
e in Trouble in Whitestonc-TheA Accuse
"ticns q T"clve- year old Girl Makes, ;"

"clared Vacant Because of Adultery :"
"A Mob's Vengeance-A Wife's Parameur
" Summarily Hanged for the Murder of
" Her Husband" &c A nice family jour
nal, to be sure. Aud this does not en-
brace any reference to the political false
hoods which, as usual, characterize every
page Of this Infamous newspaper.

TIE PLATr.GooDE CONTEST.

w nen MT. HarfiS, CT virginia, was aIl-
pointed chairman of the Committee on
Elections it was openly announced that
the purpose of the appointment was to
secure Goode of the same State in the seat
he occupies by the most unblushing fraud
and usurpation, and to prevent the con-
sideration of the case of Mr.. Platt until the
close of the Forty Fourth Congress. Mr..
Harris, VIC regret to say, is giving color to
such assertions by endeavoring to force in
committee the adoption of rule in con-
sidering the contested election cases by
which the case of Platt vs.. Goode will be
the last considered. If this rule is adopted
no argument can convince the country that
its purpose is anything but to make this
case the last to be considered. and to en-
able Goode to hold on to a seat and draw
pay to which he has no right whatever.
The Democratic press and party have for
years denounced the Republicans for un-
fair and partial treatment Of Democratic
contestants to seats in Congress. but we
defy them to show one case so flagrant as
this will be if Harris succeeds in Ills at
tempt. No Republican Congress ever yet
made the Democrats contesting wait until
all other cases were heard before taking up
Democratic case. Mr.. Plat is the only
Republican contesting a seat held by a
Democrat, and we submit that no prece-
dent can be found in q Republican Congress
which iustifies hearing fifteen cases where
Democrats contest seats held by Rcpubli-
Cans, and putting utf the only Republican
cOntcstng a seat hcld 10y Democrat until
the last. II Mr.. G"Ode possesses the high
sense Of honor the Norfolk press ascribe
to him, we DO not understand how he can
consent to continue TO hold seat and draw
pay 10 which hc is not entitled, and he
should hc IS anxious as Mr.. Platt to have
this case decided, and Mr.. Harris should
be The more anxious for its speedy settle
mcnt, for delay through his action in the
only case in which he can be supposed to
have a personal interest will inevitably
excite suspicion that he is using the po-
siiion le occupies to advance his personal
ends.

Of the United States.
Millions Of dollars have been raised and
expended to make suitable preparations for
the accommodation Of the peoples of our
own and foreign countries at this great
concourse of nations to be held at the birth
place Of independence by a small fraction
Of the citizens, and Congress is asked to
appropriate only one and half millions
or about three cents head on the basis of
population-to make it complete in all its
appointments.
This should be done by unanimous vo.e,
but, as some opposition has been developed,
we suggest. in putting the question to the
House, il should be done in this form: All
those in favor of maintaining the dignity
and honor Of the nation vote aye. All
those who do not care Mres cents whether
the United States has made suitable prepa-
rations to celebrate its one hundredth an
niversary and receive invited guests from
foreign countries, to whom it has extended
cordial invitation, vote nay.
The constitutional excuse" pleaded by
some of the unfriendly and unwilling men,
bers is too preposterous to deceive the peo-
pie. They may as we'll avow their real
reasons and motives, for before the end Of
this Centennial year none other will be
accepted by the people from one end of the
land to the other. Call the roll
