diately made the amende honorable in
the Senate.
Mr.. Schurz has not yet been heard
from on the subject by the public.
Whether he has been able to make it
agreeable to Senator Matthews to be led
into what was not only a Suppressio veri
but a suggestio faZsi, 1 have never learned.
Senator Matthews treated him very ten
derly in the Senate, giving the assurance
that though "the letter came from Mr..
Schurz. he did not give the information
which l had in respect to Mr.. Nowlan."
Most assuredly not; and, by not giving
Mr.. Matthews proper information, placed
him in an attitude that would have been
humiliating but for his honorable correc-
ton. But the Secretary has not relieved
himself from the humiliation in which
the Senator'S explanation left his noble
character and eminent talents"
But the combined nobility and talents
Of the Secretary and the clergyman over
crowd my paper, and 1 must leave them
to devout contemplation of each others
lofty attributes for another week!

The Way the Tribune Puts It.

The New York Tribune, founded by
Horace Greeley, is not pleased with the
Southern Congressman. 1t would be no
exaggeration to say that the Tribune is
decidedly displeased with them. The
majority of the Southern people mean
well, keeping the pledges so freely made
in their behalf" But" says our con-
temporary, "their represent tatives have
broken every such pledge, and with
degree of bad faith which in private life
would make a man Infamous, have de-
cided to dispute the findings of the Elec-
toral Commission"
This is strong language to be used by
journal not remarkable for strength.
Yet, according to the Tribune, the obli-
cations of the South to Mr. Hayes are of
a character the disregard of which, even
among criminals, is not regarded with
favor. president Hayes" pleads our
contemporary, sit is admitted, has done
more to give peace to the South than
could have been done by his opponent"
The Tribune does not rest on this general
proposition but goes into particulars.
Mr.. Hayes has both done and forborne
to do many things. Among the things,
according to the Tribune founded by
Horace Greeley, which Mr.. Hayes has
forborne to do is the administering of
justice and punishment for the most
heinous offences against the law, when
committed by the Southern men he was
seeking to conciliatel And the Tribune
maintains that Mr.. Hayes was right in
this. "He is not to be blamed" it says,
"for what he has done;" and Immediately
following this declaration, in category
of the reasons why the South should be
grateful and faithful to him, it is stated
that HMaO w ho h a6 baon 1uiltu IF rnoCt
infamous crimes against the freedom of
elections and the public peace have not
been prosecuted"
What, then, has become of Mr.. Hayes's
oath of Officer
Is it not remarkable to find journal
with the traditions of the Tribune in
sisting that men should support an Ad-
ministration because it has winked at
their infamous crimes = n. Y. Sun.

Don't Disgrace the Children.

Here is touching scene in court, at
Hamilton, Ontario, connected with the
recent raid upon the disreputable houses
in that city:
Another batch comes in. A woman
carrying a little infant is among them.
The mother is only nineteen; the child
is just learning to talk the mother weeps
bitterly, the child crows and claps its
little hands as if the bowling mob about
it had been got up for its special benefit.
1t lifted pair of handouts from the
table and jingled them near its mothers
ear and laughed aloud in excess of Joy.
"Oh, God" cried the young mother, Let
my baby go. Send some good woman
for it. Oh, | can never take my baby
into cell. 1t is innocent. l am wick
ed The baby is fit for heaven. 1t has
never sinned. Oh, let it not be tainted
present, her hair falling over her shoul-
ders, and her hot, wild face quivering
with agony. She held it high up, the
little, growing, chirruping thing. 1t
jingled the handouts and laughed. A
hush fell on that place as if an angels
presence were there. A braZen faced
girl in silks and satins came sweeping
forward to take the child, but the mother
snapped at her like british animal and
pushed her back. "Oh, no" she hissed,
"Oh, no, no, no, no, not you, not you"
Chief McMenemy knows how to do his
duty as we'll as any man, but he saw this
was an extraordinary case and sent the
baby home. The mother went into her
cell holding her heart She came rush
ing back and kissed her baby, and whis
pered in its ear, ut were better for you,
my child, that you never saw me again"
The child was carried away crying be-
cause they took the handouts from it.

Gen. Butler Does Not Hate the South.

Gen. Hemphill, of the Abbeville Is. c.
Medium, wrote to Gen. B. F. Butler, just
after the debate in Congress about the
Doorkeeper, asking him whether he
meant what he said and really hated the
South, or was merely talking for political
effect Gen. Butler in reply says:
you ask me if hate the men of the
South. By no means; nor did l ever
hate them. l hated their rebellion, their
treason, their effort to break up the unity
of the country and destroy the Govern
Eaent, and l did everything l could to
prevent it and, until they surrendered
their arms, to punish those who were en-
gagged in it. They were during that time
the enemies of my country, and therefore
my enemies. They had forfeited, accord
ing to the law, their lives for treason
against the country; but in all govern
mental action communities are rarely
punished; men are. But by the terms
of the surrender at Appomattox the
Southern people were allowed to lay
down their arms, return to their homes
and live as good citizens. By the acts
and proclamations of amnesty all their
excepting certain constitu-
tional ones, were obliterated and they
were given all their rights. Every one of
those rights l respect as much as l do
the rights of anybody else. Your letter
shows you to be reasoning and, l as
sumo, q reasonable man. Now, do you
think | ought to prefer, everything else
being equal, for Office or place under this
government, the man who fought against
it to a man who fought for it, especially
when the man who fought for it was dis
abled in the fight !? Members of the House
who were in the Confederate Army pre-
fer one of their comrades who fought
with them to one of mine who fought
against them. Do you inquire of them
whether they hate my comrade and the
whole North because they do so? think
not. Why, then, do you inquire of me if
hate the men of the South who fought
against me because prefer the men who
fought with me, and who have been dis
abled in so doing, for office?"

end and the moment for action had
arrived. At any moment the milkman
might drive around the corner, or some
early riser might look out of a neighbor-
ing window. Miss Carman reused herself,
and with the remark, "William Davis,
you have brought this on yourself" lean
ed from the window and pushed the
ladder over. 1t fell with heavy crash,
mingled with shrek from Mr.. Davis,
and the slamming of Miss Carman's
blinds. Faint in the distance sounded
the snore of "Old Carman." He slept as
peacefully as child while his daughter
and her lover were undergoing acute
misery.
1t is thought that Mr.. Davis will event
ually recover the use of his legs, although
the left one will be permanently stiff,
and the right will be few inches shorter
than the other. The injuries to his spine
are, however, incurable. The story places
in beautiful light the generous loving
self-sacrifice of woman as contrasted with
Old Carman's cold masculine brutality.
