The MILK IN THE CocoANUT.-The
Washington correspondent of the New
York Sun, writing of events that culmi-
mated on Saturday, made this shrewd
surmise: "For my part do not think
that the Republicans are making q .se-
rious fight against Butler. In my judg-
ment, It is maneuvre for party pur-
poses. They want to make all they can
out of the Hamburg massacre, and to
place the Democrats in the position of
forcing Butler in, with the aid of two
purchasable carpet-baggers, without al
lowing an inquiry into Buffers connec-
ton with that bloody affair. They see
very clearly that the Senate must be
Democratic fifteen months hence, and, in
the meantime, with the carpet-baggers
practically controlling it now, their ma
iority will always be doubtful. Hence,
they want to make all the capital they
can out of this struggle, and go to the
country next fall on the sectional issue
and carry the House of Representatives.
They think the admission under the cir
cumstances will be worth ten additional
members to their side at least from the
North in the next House."

1t is understood that during the
Paris international Exhibition there will
be tests made of the various methods of
lighting streets and buildings with elec-
tricity, and the relative value of the diff
ferent systems will be determined. One
division of the Exhibition is to be devo-
ted exclusively to electricity. Although
it is conceded that the light afforded by
electricity is far superior to any other
wise available, some difference Of opinion
exists regarding the superiority of the
several apparatus now introduced, and
the comparative expense. Measures are
to be taken to insure the utmost impair
tiality in the experiments, and the result
will be anticipated with great interest.

. The following IS an account Of the
resignation Of Judge Wallace as Speaker
ofthe House of Representatives, and of
the election of Hon: u. @. Sheppard to
succeed himt:F sl'.'.. ~ ~ 80.
After calling the House to order on
last Friday, Gen. Wallace said: -.
GENTLEMEN OF THE HOUSE OF REP
BEsENrATrvEs: Having been elected to
the Office ofpresiding Judge, it is proper
that / should vacate this chair and resign
my right to seat on the floor. I shall
sever my relations with this House with
unaffected regret. : ,.3faN.
The members of this House were cleo
ted at time of great political agitation
throughout 1.-The country. This House
was one of the results of the supreme
effort of thesis to free itself from the
political incubus that was crushing out
its life. Itiassembled at moment when
mems minds were infamed by q degree
of political excitement almost fierce in its
character. Its probable action, under
the circumstances attending its meeting,
became an object of intense interest and
anxiety. 1t was met at that door by
military force ofthe United States. there
to enforce the views of those who, in vio-
lation of the constitution, had under
taken to Judge of the qualifications and
election; returns of its members. The
political excitement occasioned- by that
act is not without its lesson. At that
moment tremendous responsibility rest
ed upon this House and its individual
members. A single act of yiolence-a
pistol shot-the thrust, of bayonet in
that lobby, where soldiers of the United
States and the chosen representatives of
the people were crowded together, would
have convulsed the country. It would
have been the signal for the commence
ment of a conflict the result of which no
human intelligence could forecast.
But supressing passionate impulse, and
governed by sense of patriotic duty,
this House, with full appreciation of its
responsibilities, deliberately declined the
issue of violence, and appealed to the
courts of the State and the enlightened
Judgment of the country. The results
have abundantly vindicated the wisdom
of its action;
This building, now; dedicated to peace.

tread of the soldier. have sat here un-
challenged as Speaker. Political excite.

throughout the State. None are beneath
its protecting care; none above the reach
of its avcnging power. The doors of its
temples stand invitingly open to every
citizen who has right to enforce or an
injury to redress. Vigor and official in.
tegrity characterize the administration of
affairs. This General Assembly is in the
full tide of reformstory legislation. Our
people, now hopeful and content, cheer

Judge Humphreys, Of the United
States Court for the District of Columbia,
has decided the Patterson habeas corpus
case in favor of Patterson, holding that
he would not allow Patterson to be hand
ed over to the requisition, because Gov.
Hampton was only .obeying the wishes Of
a faction, and not the sovereignty of a
State, in calling for this official criminal.
Thus, unless our State authorities appeal
and have this decision reversed, we can
NOT, get hold Of Patterson until after
March, 1879. Will our people forget his
criimesf We hope not. Every effort
should be made to oust him from the
Senate, and then consign him to the PEN
itentiary. 1t would be dishonorable in
the extreme to allow Patterson to escape
punishment for his past.sins.
