SENATOR Il , REE2Tf OF kentucky,
is one of the IN st eloquent, rs he is
certainly one of the most witty, mem
bers Of the United States Senate. In
the early part of last week, quite
number Of Senators delivered eulogjes
on tho late ex-Pre3iient, Andrew
johnson. \ Among the number was
Mr. Morton, Of Indiana, who had taken
~ conspicuous part against President
Johnson on his impeachment rial by
the Senate. The commencement Of
mir. AOrton'S remarks was as follows :.
Ir. Presideut-As y member of this body,

official duty | vsted f'r tie Impeachment
pf Auircw johnson. Ih'liryod he had vio-
a'c,i The law and for that Uotc kCUe no er-
cuse apology 10 otter.
Mr. Morton then proceeded to pay
an eloquent and fitting tribute TO the
memory Of the eX President. at She
conclusion OF which Mr. M'Creerv be-
gan his own remarks with the following
palpable hit at The In Llama Senator:
Mr.. Presideut--I am tie ouly Senator

BELLAIRE.
THE practice Of teaching small schol-
ars at our public schools to write on their
states, is very bad practice, as little
girls and boys alike learn to write too
heavy hand, They become accustom-
ed to pressing down on the slate with the
pencil and they will do the same thing
on paper when they get hold of pen,
We think that in the long run it would
be better to have them take their first
lessons on paper and with pen and ink,
as then there is no change takes place in
the mode of holding the pen.
YESTERDAY morning, some time be-
tween midnight and daylight, the hard
ware store OF Cummins & Walters, on the
corner of South Belmont and Thirty.
third streets, was burglarized and about
$40 worth Of revolvers, &c, stolen. The
party or parties entered the store from
the front, on South Belmont street, and
must have kicked in the large glass in the
window, as the sound of the falling glass
was heard by many persons in the neigh
borhood of the store, and some OF them
got up and looked out upon the street,
but could see nothing of course, as the
city Council in their extreme wisdom (?)
and stipginess have ordered the street
lights to be extinguished at IL o'clock p.
NJ. No clue has yet been obtained as to
who the guilty parties are.
THERE is enough money in the street
light fund of our city to pay for lighting
the streets during every hour of darkness
for the next year, and why it is that the
Council hive ordered the street lamps to
be put out at 10 o'clock, we cannot say,
but we do think that by that order they
are (unintentionaliy, of COURSE throw
ing cover over many depredations that
would not be committed only for the
cover of darkness Take, tor instance,
The burglary at Cummins " Walters
store, yesterday morning. If the street
lights had not been eXtinguished, it Is
very doubtful whether the burglary
would have been committed at all, and if
it had, then by the light of the street
lamps, the neighbors who were aroused
by the sound of breaking glass, and who
came and looked out into the inky dark
ness, could have detected the burglary
and identified the burglars. Let us have
light.
TnF funeral of Mr.. Alexander Dubois,
which took place yesterday at 10 o'clock
