Good for Dogs and Horses.

Once upon a time in the distant
past, a cat was considered sacred
animal, and to kill one was crime suf-
fcient to send one to everlasting per
dition. To set apart an endowment
for a professorship in a cat infrm-
airy was considered a high mark in
religious work, but to do SO now
would bring down on one an unfa-
vorable opinion from the public. II
a rich man were to will enough to es-
tablish a cat hospital in these days,
his heirs would go into the courts
and try to break the will under the
plea of insanity; but if that man had
lived long ago in Egypt 1900 years
ago he would have done Just what
public opinion would have said was
right, and would have secured for
himself pass to eternal glory. Cat
religion now is at discount. But a
short time ago lady in France set
apart large sum to be used in the
securement of comfort for unfortu-
nate dogs and horses. An exchange
itemizes her work thus: mime. Per
ron, wealthy and eccentric lady of
Paris, who died recently, bequsathed
eighty-fve thousand francs to the
municipality of AIarseilles for found
ing an asylum for unfortunate dogs
and horses"

Compulsory Education.

The question of Compulsory Educa-
tion is sgain being agitated in this Com
mOnwealth. 1t should be discouraged.
1t is dangerous principle to introduce
into a free government. No men
should be vested with the power TO enter
a mans family and subject its members
to any employment or study against
their will, unless they are criminals,
unless they have been engaged in out
RACES against their fellow men.
Free education Is a great blessing,
and every mans family may enjoy it,
and it is in accord with the American
system of government in the United
States, but compulsory education is not
American in spirit; it is despotic or
arbitrary principle, and as such it
should no. be allowed to effect Q lOdg-
ment.
Send the children and young people
to school, but do not sanction the pas
sage Of compulsory laws of education
or any other thing except for the sup.
preston of crime.

since they have been doing their ut
most to find Bennett, or some of his
friends, through whom they may get
evidence to prosecute him under some
law for dueling.
They have succeeded in finding a
party or two who know something
about the duel, but they would not
answer ON the witness stand and were
sent to jail for contempt.
Fighting by duel is not right, but
it is not by many degrees as bad as
the manner of assault practiced on
Bennett.
The Grand Jury laughed at the
assault, but became hysterical over
the punishment that Bennett meted
out to the offender, and now they
think that as Bennett has escaped the
humiliation intended by May, he shall
be Inundated by the enforcement of
some enactments that they have rum
maged the old law books to find.
What towards they ;Fe.
Bennett should come forward and
face the cowardly crew who would
not maintain the majesty of the law.
He should come forward, stand the
penalties, if found guilty, and then
give two or three, or more years if
necessary, to the investigation of
the practices of the men who knew
him stricken down, without a word,
but rather smiled over it, but when
he maintained his own dignity and
manhood, they came forward and en-
force such penalties on him as they
can find in the hook and crook of
Legislative enactment.
If he does that, doubtless he will
be rewarded in the end by revealing
the most crooked practices on the
part of his prosecutors.
Cowards are always rascals, and all
you have to do is to uncover them.
Stand the penalties, Bennett, and un
cover the rascals.

That Quarter of a Million of Votes

Those Democratic. papers which con.
tinue to oprattle about Governor Tilden',
popular majority of over a quarter of q
million of votes should read the follow
ing statement of DIR. Redfeld in the
Cincinnati Commercial "The reason
:hat Tilden has a popular majority oi
24l ,i6l over Hayes is because large
portion of the black vote in the cotton
States has been suppressed, or made to
vote the ticket they bate. This Is ,
fair estimate of the suppressed vote, IN.

SENATE.

Mr.. Lawrens, Republican, offered
resolutions on the National situation
The Democrats vigorously opposed the
resolutions, but they were carried BY
vote, which stood % yeas to Is nays.
The resolutions read.
Whereas, As the tranquility of the
country has been disturbed and Its
business prosperity imperiled by the
extraordinary difficulty Of ascertalning
in the nearly balanced vote what has
been the result of the late election for
the electors of President aud Vice
President, and
Whereas, To allay an excitement
that may endanger the public peace
and precipitate upon the people the ca
lamities Of civil war from which they
have been lately delivered, it seems fit
and proper that the Legislatures of the
states whose prerogati!es and vital in
terests are involved in the issue should
declare and emphasize those principles
embodied in the National Constitution,
by which the decision Of the pending
question can only be safely and lawful
ly reached.
Resolved, BY the Senate, the House
Of Representatives concurring, that the
will of the people in eIecting q Presi-
dent and Vice President Of the United
States can only be expressed in the
manner prescribed by the Constitution,
and the persons having the majority Of
votes of the electors appointed by the
States of the Union in the manner pre-
scribed BY the Legislatures thereof
must be, by force of the Constitution
and laws, declared President and Vice
President respectively, aud must be on
the 4th of March inaugurated, and
thereafter duly respected as such.
Second. That all factious opposition
and threats of violence designed or in
tended to prevent or iuperil the de-
claration confirmation of the constiiu
tiODal election of the President and
Vice President are unpatriotic in spirit
dangerous and revolutionary in tenden-
dency, merit and should receive the
condemnation OF an outraged and in
dignant peopls.
THIRD. That the lists which the duly
appointed electors of the States re-
spectively are required by the Consti
tuition of the United States to make of
the persons who vote for President and
Vice President, and the number of
votes for each. and which are to be by
the electors certified and transmitted
by them, sealed. to the President of
the Senate, and which certificates are
to be opened by him in the presence of
the two houses of Congress and counted.

votes cast for President and Vice Pres
