taken away, and the members tried to keep
the matter secret, and did prevent 1t being
known for six months. Yancey never recoy-
cred; he drooped from day to day, became
hopeless, listless and vacant, and passed
quietly and calmly away. Says the American:
"He died without hope of the success Of the
Southern Republic he had aspired to found
and govern, and for which he labored night
and day for twenty-five years." There Is
something strangely sad about this incident,
and we would let 1t bear silent testimony
whenever and wherever that testimony should
be rendered.
A street-car conductor is an effectually
hedged-in man. Oficiallyhe is surrounded by
two consciences-the still, small voice and the
bell-punch. He is constantly laboriug under
the supposition that he is watched, and spends
sixteen hours day in the unhappy predica-
ment. When he assumes the responsibilities
of his position he does SO at So per diem, and
the privilege of ringing bell-punch thrown in
to barricade his honesty. A commercial man
may 60 into bankruptcy and pay only ten cents
on a dollar, but let street-car conductor slip
paltry nickel into his vest pocket and forget

shorn of his official mantle and retired to the
monotony of looking for Job.
Whenever the New York T-i5an. attempts
to attack man for completely in corruption,
fraud or theft the blow recoils and raps that
journal severely. 1t charges David Dudley
Field with having secured his fees, or seeking
to obtain them, by sinuous process, and i'm
mediately Mr.. Field arises to q perpendicular
and remarks that the Tribune is now supported
and controlled by a stock -jobber whom it form
erly charged with having robbed great public
corporation of vast sums of money. 1t would
be policy and highly consistent for the TriJuac
to pluck the moat from its own eye before
casting about for faults which may reside in
others.
There is a green and yellow melancholy
hovering about the fact which we are pressed
to mention, sadness which it is now too late
TO dispel. Yesterday was General Robert F.
Lees birthday, the man who sat for hours on
the portico at Arlington weeping and hest
tating TO decide which it was right to do-f2ht
for the flag or against it the man who, weigh
ing everything calmly in the balance of mature

and sought its destruction. Yesterday, we beg
leave again to mention, was his birthday, and
for some mysterious and inexplicabie reason
his companions in Congress forgot to adjourn
out of respect for his memory. They cannot
plead ignorance, because VIC took especial
pains to inform them that the 10Th instant was
the day. They cannot plead an inability, be-
cause they are in the majority. They cannot
plead a wan: Of desire, for the country knows
better; and they certainly do not lack the
spirit, for the applause they accorded to Hills
arraignmcGt OF Lincoln's administration con-
vinces the public otherwise. Therefore there
can be but one reason left Why they dill not
honor the dead cheftain, and that is the fear
Of loyal condemnation and the iproads upon
their bypocritical policy OF silence which such
an act would make.

reported as follows:

Mr.. Beecher then assembled the platform
and spoke at great length of the suffer

said i. WAS impossible for man to so

if it pleased God to have him go on. he
was ready and willing to so on for an

ably be able TO defend himself. He was
the child Of a noble father and OF noble
mother. He was brought up in the
midst OF morality and in household o.
unblemished love, which to him was
greater than anything else. He adored
the memory OF his mother as did the
Catholics that of the Virgin Mary. He
had Inherited these qualities OF his father
and mother and when they rebuke the
vine for throwing ont its tendriis they
could rebuke him for loving where he
ought not. His love WAS built III house

next to that of saint. During this pOr-
ton of his address Mr.. Beecher was very
much affected. He said his associations

proper to maintain within its seclusion

stroy everything around 1t. He thought
he might say. without fear. that ne was
enjoying the blessing of God. and was
very near to him, and he would say that
there was not creature in the world for
whom he would not suffer If he could
save him from greater suffering. II there

was nearer the New Jerusalem, and look
ing back upon his life he felt great Joy.
He did not care for MS reputation after
he was dead, but il III his time he had
been able to PIT into literature that which
would cheer the sick and the young,
therein was his JOY for posterity. He
expressed his great gratitude 10 the
fathers and brothers of the council for
the result they had arrived at. They
had brought him strength and courage
and he was thankful, and desired TO as
sure them that if ever they were in any
trouble and the darkest midnight, that

saved the world was enough. He asked
them to trust IN Jesus and said: - Faith
