THE DrMocRArIC SENATOR'S.

Suppose the Democrats III the Senate last
Wednesday had quietly permitted Mr..
BLAINE's resolution TO pass without opposi-
tion, Or better yet, had voted for it, what
would have been the result? There is moth
ing in the resolution to which any rcasOna-
bic Or luw-abding man could offer any OBJ
lection, for it simply proposes an inquiry
into certain current allegations that the
rights Of American citizens were violated in
tho November elections. Ii these allega-
ito Is are untrue, the country desires TO
know II; and if they are true, no honest
man will desire to conceal that fact. But
our Democratic brethren IN the Senate pro-
posed by their opposition TO Mr.. BLAINEs
proposition to stlhc al! inquiry and to
bluntly assume that no remedial leg
isati1n is needed in the premises.
In other words, they have voluntarily and
eagerly placed themselves in the attitude OF
apulogists for the mos; atrOHOus political
crime, Of the age, aud are attempting to
stand between the perpetrators of these
crimes and the righteous retaliation Of con-

RESUMPTION DAY is fast approaching,
and with it all excitement regarding the
financial question disappears This is ac-
counted for not so much because deep

the subject as because general and wide

the attempt to resume. Besides this the

A LEADING Democratic journal in South
Carolina, the Columbia Register, gives it as
the opinion Of many well-iniormed people
in that State that the colorcd children in the
South are progressing in education more
rapidly than the children Of the white peo-
pie. The reason for this is that the white
people, from foolish and unnatural prcju-
"dices," refuse to patronile and en-
courage the schools. They with
draw their patronage and neglect
them in the hope that the public school
system of South Carolina, built up so prom
.simgy during the years of Republican ad-
minis,ratiOn there, will fall into decay as il
mas done in Alabama aud Georgia The
southern chivalry cannot yet look with

An American Dish.

An amusing story is told, of which it
is averred that no less parsonage than
the late George Peabody, the celebrated
American banker, was the hero. 1t
appears that Mr.. Peabody had invited
three Englishmen to meet two Ameri-
cans at dinner, and on this occasion,
having received as gift ten ears of
green corn, determined to renew the
recollections of his youth, astonish his
English and please his American guests
by having it served up in the we'll
known American style. Accordingly,
at proper time, plates of butter and
salt were placed before each guest, and
the banker, with something of an air of
mystery, announced that he was now
about to treat his guests to well-known
and delicious American dish of food,
cooked in the American manner. 1t
would be no novelty to his American
guests, but the Englishmen must watch
how it was disposed of by them, and
follow their example and manner in
disposing of it. Then, at a signal, en-
tered stately butler bearing large
covered dish, which he deposited sol
emnly before Mr.. Peabody. In mo-
ment more, in obedience to the bankers S
nod, he whisked off the cover, and there
before the astonished guests, was dis
played a pile of ten boiled corncobs!
The banker gazed for an instant in
mute horror and dismay, and then
found voice to demand an explanation,
which was finally reached when the
cook was summoned-a fellow who had
never before seen an ear of Indian corn
in his life. He replied that he had fol-
lowed his masters directions to "strip
off all the outside before boiling, which
he had done most faithfully, not only
the husks, as was intended, but kernels
also, so that the banker had only what
is, in America, the plate evidence of
the feast to indicate what were his good
intentions to his guests. Philadelphia

Hangings in 1877.

The hangman's record for the past
year shows that eighty three murderers
were hanged in the United States. Of
this number, forty-seven were white,
thirty-four colored, one Indian and one
Chinaman; four were hanged for out
rageous assaults, one for burglary,
eight for wife-murder, one for filicide
and one for fratricide. There were
three double executions, one triple, two
quadruple, and one in which six men
were hanged. Not single woman was
hanged; the only one sentenced to
death, Mrs. Louisa Lawsar, of Virginia,
had her sentence commuted to impris-
onment for life by the Governor. Fri
day still maintains its reputation in the
black list as the favorite day on which
to enforce the death penalty, more
murderers having been hanged on that
day than on all the others of the week
combined. Forty-seven murderers were
hanged ON Friday, seventeen on Thurs
day, eight on Saturday, six on Monday,
three on Tuesday and two on Wednes-
day. There were five executions in
January, five in February, six in March,
six in April, ten in May, fifteen in June
eleven in July, one in August, five in
September, none in October, nine in
November and ten in December. Penn
sylvania stands first in the list of the
States for the greatest number of exc
cutions during the past year, South
Carolina being second. The executions
were distributed among twenty-five
States as follows: Pennsylvania, six
teen; South Carolina, twelve; North
Carolina and California, five each; Mis-.
souri,, Maryland, Georgia and Virginia,
four each; New York, Louisiana, Ar.
kansas, Nevada and Tennessee, three
each; Mississippi and Ohio, two each
