The Philadelphia Evening Telegraph, though
of Republican proelivities, has nevertheless
HE manlinoss and independence to rebuke
some Of its Republican contemporaries for
their structures on the speeches of Mcssrs.
Tilden and Hendricks in New York on Tues
day last. After citing the absurd arguments
by which partisan Republican journals defend
tho methods that were used 10 make Messrs
Hayes and Wheeler President and Vice Presi-
dent, tho Telegraph says:
"The goodness of Mr. Hayes and the bad ness
Of Mr.. Tilden have nothing whatever to do
with the matter. The simple question at issue
is, which was elecied2 And, in considering
this question, il should be distinctly borne in
mind that the electoral commission did not
decide that certain returns were in proper
legal shape. and that neither the commission
nor Congress, which created the commission.
had any constitutional authority to 60 behind
the returns. One of our morning contempo-
raries, 10 the course Of some very uncallei
for and unnecessary abuse Of Mr.. Tilden, said
"'An electoral commission, instituted on
the proposition Of his (Tlden' 81 friends, and
at his own suggestion, after n careful survey
OF the whole evidence, deliberately decided
that he was not elected TO the presidency.
This sentence is grossly at variance With &c
fact, but it embodies the belief, or rather the
impression, Of a number OF people who ought
10 know better, aud are censurable for not
knowing better. The electoral commission
did not decide that Mr. Tilden was not elected
10 the presidency, and wherein the decision
OF the commission gave just cause for com
plant wns not that it was 10 favor of Mr..
Hayes, bat thai II was made without hearing
the whole evidence or any part Of The evidence
that bore on the real point at Issue"

THE DEMOCRATIC HOUSE.
Body that Compared Fayorably with
Its Republican Predecessors.
From the Mation, March /.

Next week the present Congress will
have ceased to exist. Whatever charac-
ter it has had has been given it by the
House, and looking back at what the
House has done, it must be said that it
compares favorably with its predecessors.
Elected as it was by a sudden and unex-
pected surge of popular hostility to the
administration, by party which had ex-
pected its candidates to be defeated, it
was hardly likely to contain large body
of distinguished representatives, and, in
fact, being made up to q great extent of
raw and unknown men, was exactly the
sort of House of which it would have
been fair to expect ignorant legislation
and extreme venality. Containing, too,
an enormous body of 'ex-rebels," men
only lately disfranchised for having taken
part in war against the government, it
might have been expected to show great
deal of blind partisanship. Yet it has
passed fewer jobs than any Congress since
the war, and has made the first attempt
since that period to curtail the aeknowl-
edged extravaganza of the government,
while the Southern wing of the House
has displayed more moderation and calm
ness than any other part of it. 1t has
brought forward two Speakers, the first
of whom was chiefly remarkable for the
purity of his character and his fairness; +;
and the second of whom, having before
his selection doubtful repute as poll
tician, has manifested thus far an impair
tiality which has at least placed him
above the suspicion of offering his rulings
for sale. Much fault has been found
with the investigations instituted by the
House, but they have certainly differed
from most inquiries which preceded them
in resulting, in few of the most impor-
tant cases, in unanimous non-partisan
reports, and if they have revealed a
shocking amount of jobbery, they have
also given the reformers of the future
hitherto unattainable information as to
the nature and extent of the disease they
are called upon to cure. Finally, the
present House has produced considera-
Bile number of able men, whose modera-
ton and love of justice as displayed in
their preparation of the Electoral bill,
and whose good faith, not only in sub
mitting themselves, but in forcing their
followers to submit, to the decisions of
the tribunal, after q contest which all OF
their own party and a large part of the
other believed to have been decided by
fraud, will entitle them to the gratitude
of the country as long as it lasts.

OLD FAM1L1Es.-A very searching in
yestigation was carried on few years
ago in the North of Eng land by two fam
families who were searching up their re-
spective ancestry. The strife was great
between them, each one determining to
look back into antiquity further than the
other. One of the families, whose name
was Spencer, employed an artist to paint
an historic scene, representing the build
ing of the ark and the loading up of the
ship by Noah and his sons with its mul-
tifarious and various cargo: On the
gang-plank leading to the deck of the
ark two men were seen rolling up large
box, on one side of which was painted in
large letters, "Re,ics, insignia belonging
to the Spencer family" This was con-
sidered coup d'etat hard to beat; but
the other family, determined not to be-
outdone in the antediluvian pretenses OF
their name, prepared at great cost and
research record of their antiquity. In
describing the exploits of one of their
ancestors at very early day, who was
represented as man of some authority,
this remarkable passage occurred, Dur
ing this year Adam and Eve were driven
out of Paradise"

in Congress from Iowa, and he has since
been reelected to each succeeding Con-
gress. Mr. McCrary is quiet, method
ical worker, and since 1870 he has held
the position of Chairman of the Commit

DAVID NJ. KEY, POSTMASTER GENERAL.
David NJ. Key, the Southern member
of the Cabinet, and the new Postmaster
General, is native of Tennessee, having
been born in Greene county, in that State,
January 81, 1924. He worked on his
fathers farm until he was twenty one
years of age, after which he entered Hi
vase College, from which he was grad
uated in 1850. He subsequently, studied
law and practiced his profession at Chat
tanooga Before the war he held no po-
litical Office further than to serve as q
Presidential elector in 1856. During
that contest he was colonel in the Con-
federate service, but he was one of the
first to resume his citizenship when the
war was over. In 1869 he was member
of the Tennessee Constitutional Conven
ton, and he was elected Chancellor of
the State in 1870. In August, 1875, he
was appointed Senator in Congress to
succeed his old friend, Andrew johnson,
and distinguished himself for his conscrv-
atiye course while he was in the Senate,
but was not elected to become his own
successor.-N Y Herald.
RICHARD THOMPSON, SECRETARY OF THE
NAVY,
Of Terre Haute, Indiana, was an Old
Line Wing. He was born in Culpeper,
Va. in 1909, and went to Kentucky in
the days of Daniel Boone, before he was
twenty-one, and settled in Louisville in
1881 as clerk. He removed to Indiana,
and was admitted to the bar in 1884. He
was several times elected to the Legisla-
ture, and acted as President of the Senate
and Lieutenante Governor. In 1910, as
Clay elector, he stumped the State and
wrote articles in Clay's interest. He
served two terms in Congress between
1887 and 1S45. He then refused re-elec-
ton. Last year he headed the Indiana
delegation at Cincinnati, and made a
speech in support of Morton for Presi-
dent. He is said to be social, popular
and of the better sort of politicians.
JUDGE CHARLES DEyENs, ATTORNEY
GENERAL,
Now occupies seat upon the Supreme
Bench of Massachusetts, and is regarded
as one of the ablest of the reform ele-
ment of the Republican party. At the
beginning of the war, being then aprom-
ising young lawyer, he entered the Fed
eral army, and served as q general officer
in the army Of the Potomac, where he
lost limb. Because of his judicial posi-
ton he has not been active in politics,
but is said to be polished gentleman of
high character and social position, and
of great popularity and learning. He
affiliated with che anti-Butler wing of
Massachusetts, Republicans.

least, to respect the prejudices and feel
ings Of those who, for decades, had hon
ored them with positions of public trust.
The conduct of Judge Moses was heavy

were confident that his conduct on the
Bench would vindicate him from reproach,
and prove that his only desire, even in
his apparent defiance of their wishes, was
to serve the interests of the people. So

or head we draw the mantle of charity!
1t is better so.
There is ono act, and one act only, Of
his public life during the past ten years
on which we care to dwell. The broad
path chosen by Judge Moses and the
narrow path trodden, in travail, by the
people came together, for an instant, last
fall when, in the town which had wit
messed his earliest successes, Judge Moses
announced his adhesion to the grand
cause of which Wade Hampton is the
champion. And it is pleasant, as the Sc
quence of this, to remember that, in the
Supreme Court, during the hearing of
tho causes involving the recognition of
Wade Hampton as our Governor, Judge
Moses was unmistakably convinced that
Wade Hampton was elected, and was in
stalled, and is Governor of the State. 1t
is pleasantest to know that the last words
spoken by Judge Moses, prior to his fatal
illness, conveyed an intimation that when
the Supreme Court should re-assemble,
after Washington's birthday, he would
deliver an opinion in favor of Wade
Hampton, in which opinion Judge Will
lard was known to concur. This it was
not permitted him to do. The act that
would have blotted out the past, he was
not, in Gods Providence, allowed to per-
form. From the heights, like the He
brew lawgiver, he might look down upon
the land where reigned Righteousness
and peace; but he had not kept the
faith, and in the flesh he might not enter
in.-Ne,cs and Courier, 7th inst.
