Honoring stanley.

In the United States Senate yesterday,
and at the session of the American Geo.
graphical Society last night, the daring, en-
ergy and success of Henry NJ. Stanley were
handsomely and worthily remembered.
Mr.. Hamlin, of Maine, called up in the
Senate the resolution adopted by the House
some days since, and it was unanimously
passed. 1t will be remembered as warm
and generous tribute to the achievements of
the hardy correspondent. AS an expression
of the appreciation of SANKEY'S services by
that portion Of our public especially inter-
ested in geographical science the resolution
of the Geographical Society is an honorable
part of the explorers record.

A Queer Question or Identity.

William z. Chandler seems to have found
his match, and rather more than his match, in
the art in which he most excels-that of cut
ting personal vituperation. Major A. E.
Burke, of New Orleans, whom Chandler in
terrogated by telegraph respecting certain
memorandum of conference last February
at Wormley's Hotel, in Washington, sent
back reply which is q curious specimen
of parrying by rapid succession of home
thrusts. Burke made ludicrous affectation
of ignorance as to what particular Chandler
it was that had honored him with a COM
munication by telegraph, and returned q
series Of mock inquiries to ascertain the
identity OF his correspondent. 1t is very
much as if Schuyler Colfax had manifested
his virtuous indignation respecting the
doings of the Texas Pacific Railroad lobby,
and had received in reply to an application
for documentary proof string of questions
like these:-"Pray, what Coliax are you?
Are you the same Schuyler Colfax that
was once Speaker Of the House and became
the mysterious owner of Credit Mobilier
stock while holding that Office? Are you
the same Schuyler Colfax who was after
ward Vice President and disgraced himself
by swearing before q committee of in
vestigaton that he had never owned such
stock? Are you the same Christian states
man that was driven out of pub
lie life ana politically ruined by
the exposure of those transactions?" We
imagine that in such case Mr.. Colfax
would not be particularly anxious to estab-
lish his identity, and that the idea might
flash upon him that he was not the fttest
person in the country to pioneer an investi-
CATION of Colonel SCOTS alleged railroad
lobby.
This is precisely such q mess as the I'M
fortunate Chandler has got himself into.
Had he been wise he would have subsidized
after the humiliation put upon him by the
Republican State Convention of New Hamp-
shire, which was like an extinguisher put
upon faring tallow candle. Since Will
lam Lloyd Garrison took compassion on
him and lifted the extinguisher the smoke
and smell with which Chandler has
filed the country has been the reverse
of agreeable, and nobody will be sorry
that Burke has used ladle of sewer water
upon the offensive wick. Chandler tele-
| graphed request for certain writing sup
posed to be in Burke's possession. First

In referring to the HEnALDs predictions
regarding this storm, which proves to be the
most severe one of the entire winter, fully
two days in advance of its arrival, we would
call attention to the benefits sought to be
extended to our business readers by such
timely announcements. We are experience
ing the fury of tempest of wind, rain and
snow that seriously affects every line and
means of transportation between the pro-
duce centres and the seaboard, as we'll as
rendering navigation dangerous along our
coasts. From all parts of the country we
receive and print this morning dispatches
describing the severity of the storm, the in
terruption Of railroad and steamboat traffic,
disasters on the coast and other occurrences
injurious to business interests The local
effects of the storm are described else
where this morning. On the street car
lines the first doubling up" of the season
took place and crowded cars and shivering
travellers clinging to the front and rear
platforms made thousands sigh for the pros
pective comforts of rapid transit. The
snow also brought the Police Commission
ers face to face with difficulty which they
had hoped to escape. Broadway and the
avenues became encumbered with snow
drifts at an early hour, and the snow re-
moving force was at work clearing the road
ways and crossings. But to the poor this
pitiless tempest must prove terrible WIS.,
itor. If the charity of New York, which
ever finds expression in the noblest forms,
will be exercised now o vast amount 81 suf-
fering may be prevented.
