THE BATTLE FIELDS.

The battle fields around Richmond ara
quiet meadows now, reclaimed by Nature
with few signs of he days of "blood and
IRON" At Cold Harbor, Fair Oaks Seven
Pines, Malvern Hill one sees little remind
him of the terrible scenes enacted there
twelve and fifteen years ago. In the
woods and on the hillsides and river
bluffs In the Peninsula, where no attempt
has been made to cultivate the land, ,slop-
ing earthWorks are still to be seen. but
elsewhere the entertainments have been
levelled. Below Petersburg there are
few traces even of such formidable fo-ti-
cations as Steadman, He'll and Dsmna-
ton. The Crater and the fields around
it are owned by Mr.. Griffiths, who was
born close by and was in Petersburg
when the mine was fired. He has built
a house near the Crater, and has his
fathers farm under excellent cultivation
The Crater itself has been left almost
untouched, and thick uuderbrush Of
peach trees and sprouts has sprung up
from the peach stones thrown away by the
soldiers during the seige. The ravine
where the dead lay in great heaps onthat
terrible morning has been brought under
the plough year after year until now only
a slight depression in the field can be
pointed out. The visitor has to pay %
cents for glimpse of the Crater and the
interior of a shed stocked with battle
relics.

sMALLs. GARFIELD & co.

Robert Smalls, negro Representative
in Congress from the Beaufort, district of
South Carolina, was recently convicted
by a jury half white and half black, of
receiving bribe Of $4,000 while State
Senator, for his vote on a swindHng
printing bill, the proceeds of which
were divided among an organized ring
of thieves. The corrupt Official who
gave Smalls the check for this money,
the officers of the bank who paid it, and
the check itself with Smalls endorse
ment, we're producedin in court. The facts
were not denied, and the only defence at
tom pied was that Smalls was no worse
than others who had committed similar
crimes. o.4 ..u ot i....t H,.d +.
This conviction appears to trouble the
white Republicans of the House, some of
whom have pocketed bribes Of Credit
Mobilier and other jobs. without having
been Indicted for the offence, and others
of whom are more than suspected OF
having made profitable business OF
legislation, whom they were in q majori-
ty. 1t is now proposed to inquire whe-
ther the privileges of the House are not
invaded by the detention of Smalls as a
convict in Jail, "under the orders Of the
State Court of South Carolina, so that he
is hindered and prevented from appear
ing in his seat to attend to his duties as
member of the House."
The black thieves, bribe-takers, aud
corruptionists are certainly entitled to
more indulgence than the white scoun-
drels who taught them these practices,
and by successful example showed how
10y atty and religion might be converted
into articles of merchandise, how votes
| could be sold in the name of ''the cause,
and how oanting knaves and professl on
al rogues were made Speakers and chair
men of the great committees, through
whose stained hands millions on millions
of the peoples money had to pass.

READINGS SENSATION.
Excitement OccasioAed by the Bursted
. Banks.

Excitement OccGstoRed by the Busted
Banks.
The terrible financial crash caused by
the failure of the Reading Savings Bank,
the Dime Savings Bank and Bushong
& Bro. is still the topic of absorbing in
terest in Reading. The entire business
community is Startled and knows not
what to do. -Four years ago the Reading
Savings Bank had a deposit of about
S2,OO0,000. The cashier, e. p. Boas, states
that within the past two years they have
paid out to depositors S800,000. Their in
vestments were such that they could not
realize on them, and as they have been
carrying collaterals for heavy amounts
for at least two large manufacturing firms,
and, not helng able to secure money to
tide over their business needs, the bank
determined to close and make an assign
ment. The confidence ofthe community
in the integrity of she Messrs. Boas and
the directors of the bank has allayed the
excitement somewhat, Notwithstanding
the TACT that large amount of the depos-
its belong to the poorer classes. The
First National Bank, having its office in
the same building and nearly under the
same management, continues its business
to-day in another building. Among the
heavy depositors in the savings bank is
the Sheriff of the county, who has de-
posit of S2l 900. A very large amount
depo sited belongs to the farmers of the
county. The combined liabilities of
Bushong q Brother and the Dime Saw
ings Bank will, 1t is believed, amount to
nearly 81, 100000. There is a report that
the large iron firm of Seifert, NJ cManus
& Co., will be severely crippled by the
above suspension.

The United States Senate was not in

Friday until to-day. In the House the

amendments was reported. Senate amend
ment to retail the standard of the army at
q, 900 men was agreed to--yeas 134, nays

the republicans III the affirmative: Messrs
Williams, Mich Williams, Del,

Throokmorton,( 4 (Texas.) and Lutrell, Call y

proviso that cavalry companies may tbe
recruited to one hundred men, and that u
sufficient force of cavalry shall be EN-
ployed in defense of the Texas frontier,
The House non-concurred In the amend
meuts to allow two additional paymas-
ters' clerks, and in a minor paragraph
which requires board of ordinance Of
ficers to select magazine gun. The
House insists that the officers shall be or
dinance officers. The Senate left the

KELLEY ON RESUMPTION.

Mr.. Kelley, of Pennsylvauia, who af-
ter the expiration Of his hour was allow
ed to finish his speech, said that no gov
ernment could control the laws of trade
any m IRE than the laws of gravitation
He asserted that there could be no re-
sumption, in 1879; the banks were not
preparing for resumption. He spoke de-
spondingly Of the present effects Of the
Resumption law, and cited single
sheriff's sale lately in Philadelphia in
which fifteen hundred different pieces of
property were sacrificed. He spoke of
the shrlnkage In value Of real estate In
Boston, viz $50,O00,OOO last year, and
the shrinkage In the assessed value of
real and personal, estate in Massachu-
setts last year, which he said was $780,
100000 He predicted, in spite of jeers
was to be maintained the sufferings of
the last two years would be, compared
to the sutferings yet to come, as light as
the chill that blights tropical plants when
compared with the Arctic cold that builds
up the mountainous ice-bergs. The gen.
tleman from New York, Mr.. Chittenden,
could say yesterday that there never had
been so much money to lend. There
was no use for money when men saw
that which they produced must be sold
at less than cost. .e...... ......
On what could men borrow money?
Gould they borrow money on Philadel-
phia and Reading Railroad stock? On
Delaware and Lackawanna, ON Jersey
Central on any other railroad stockf
Could money be borrowed on farms, fac
tories, forges, or furnaces? No. And whyf
Because under the Resumption act theil
value must shrink. He said !: -"Repeal
that act, restore confidence, allow the
tramps and the millions of workingmen
and women who are now living In de.
spair, to 60 to work on your raw material
and supply each others wants. No ma
tion, no individual was ever freed ffom
! debt by idleness and want of industry
Set the miners of Pennsylvania and the
other coal States at work In producing
power. Let the coal which they mine
quicken your machinery; let wages be
earned by the working people 10 enable
them to pay their debts, and to consume
dutiable and taxable commodities"
