GOOD BREEDING.

The Sunday School "Times" says
"One of the sure tests of good breeding
Is thoughtful regard to the convent.
ence of others in q crowd. An ill-bred
man or woman will stop in church
aisle to talk to a neighbor, at the close
Of the service, without stepping aside to
allow those who are Lehind to pass on
unhindered. And the came fault will
be shown in blocking the passage sway
of a railroad car, while gathering up
luggage from the seat, on arriving at a
station; or standing in the door. way of
a public hall or place OF business; or
taking mere than ones share in a
street car, or OH the sidewalk, or at a
ticket Office. A person Of true refine.
ment and of really good breeding will
always have others in mind while with
others. The average refinement in any
crowd or gathering OF people is plainly
marked by the ease with which all get
along together.
Twenty persons of good breeding can
find comfortable sitting or standing
room in car, or hall, or street, and be
good -uatured all the time, when ten
ill-bred persons would be jostling each
other ill.naturedly. And this is more
than matter of good breeding. 1t in
wolves regard for the rights as well
as the comfort Of others. 1t is selfish.
ness W hich makes one willing to block
a passage for ones own convenience,
when others want to move on. 1t is
dishonesty which leads one to take
more than his or her share of time or
space while others are waiting for their
turn, or are wanting their place. Who
ever would be counted well-bred or
refined ought to have this truth always
in mind; SO ought all those who would
be and do right. Children ought to
be trained to a proper course in this
regard. They and their parents ought
to learn to keep out of other peoples
way, when other people are entitled to
the way"

Cur Financial Success.

Secretary Sherman follows up his recent
wonderful financial success by calling in ten
millions Of the ten-forties. The recent opera
tions Of the department rank among the most
brilliant and successful financial achieve
ments in our history. On the LIST Of January
the outstanding five-twenty bonds amounted
to the enormous sum Of s34S0sl,750. They
bore six per cent. interest. The late extra
ordinary operations completed the sale OF
sufficient four per cents. to effect the re-
demption of all these fve-twenties. Thus
within three months the department has re-
funded the entire amount at reduction of
two per cent. in interest The annual saving
by this operation amounts to sG,981 ,635, and
this just as long as the debt runs. The only
six per cent. bonds now outstanding are
those which by the terms of the loan cannot
be called in before 1881. The ten-forties
are the only bonds which the Treasury now
has the option OF redeeming, and they bear
but FIVE per cent interest Though the Sec
Rotary has promptly followed the successful
operations of last week by calling in ten
millions of these bonds, it is not probable
that the process of refunding will be pushed
as it has recently been. The more natural
policy will be to delay until the remaining
six per cent. can be reached. The recent
successes in this direction are coincident
with the restoration of specie payments.
The first three months of resumption have
brought an annual saving of nearly seven
millions. This result shows how the policy
has improved and strengthened the credit
of the government, and how firmly 1t is now
established. The administration Of our ma
tional finances justly commands the approval
and admiration of the country.

Admission OF Senator Bell.

The admission of Senator Bell of New
Hampshire, to the seat lately vacated by
Senator Wadleigh is gratifying triumph
of equity over hair-splitting technicalities,
and strongly attests, in this case at least,
the non-partisan fairness of the body whereof
he thus becomes a member. Party lines
seem to have been entirely disregarded in
the discussion. Perhaps the ablest speech
against the admission was made by Senator
Carpenter, a Republican, while Senator Bay
ard and some OF his democratic associates as
strongly advocated Mr.. Bells right to a seat.
The popularity of this case arises from a
tumble in consequence of the adoption OF a
new state constitution. BY the federal
statute United States Senator is to be
elected by the legislature (which is chosen
next preceding the expiration of the time
for which any Senator is chosen" Now, it
SO happened that the New Hampshire legis-
lature which was chosen in March, 1878,
and assembled in June of that year, was
not the last one chosen before the expiration
of Mr.. Wadleigh's term. In consequence
OF the constitutional change another legis-
lature was chosen in November, which can
not meet and organize until next June
The preceding Legislature could not elect Z
Senator because it was not the last ONT
chosen before the expiration of Mr.. Wad
leigh's term, and the one chosen in Novem
Der could not elect Senator because it vii
not exist as legislature until June. 1t i
this fortuitous conjuncture of circumstances
considered in connection with the right o
every state to two Senators, that has led +
the protracted discussion in this case.
will do no harm as a precedent, because
similar case is not likely to arise agar
Every state will hereafter elect its Senator
in season.

Not to be Forgotten.

In the great struggle now going on upon
the floor of Congress and before the country
the true nature and scope of the different
questions should be clearly understood. 1t
is not, as some assert, mere struggle for
partisan ascendancy. There are vital prin-
ciples at stake. The issue presents several
phases. Some of these involve questions of
public policy, others questions of approved
parliamentary practice, and still others ques'
lions Of revolutionary methods.
Perhaps the most fragrant and dangerous
is the attack upon the election laws. This
presents three distinct propositions. The
democratic majority have Legitimate right,
if they choose, to seek repeal of these
safeguards against fraud. In itself, that is
question of public policy and political
morals-not of revolution. We say that
such an attempt to overthrow the protection
for the ballot box is a blow at the pure
franchise which lies at the foundation OF
free institutions, but we do not say that it
is revolutionary. In the second place, the
movement to engraft such legislation on an
appropriation bill is not unprecedented. In
itself that is a question of parliamentary
practice and of vicious inhuence-not of
revolution. We say that this form of legis-
lating in appropriation bills, however much
it may have been practiced, leads to grave
abuses and dangers, but we do not say that
it is revolutionary. When, however, the
issue, as presented by the democratic major
ity, reaches its third stage; when they not
only undertake the repeal of the election
laws, but tack it on an appropriation bill
when they not only tack it on an appropria-
ton bill, but attempt to coerce and override
the Executive by proclaiming that the APP
preparations shall not pass except on this
condition; then they advance to revolution
airy methods. To declare that unless the
President shall surrender his judgment and
his rights, and, against his convictions, con-
sent to the repeal of the election laws, the
supplies shall be stopped-this is revolution.

The New Committees.

There are fifty-two committees in the
House of Representatives. A glance shows
that Speaker Randall has had the numerical
fairness to divide the chairmanships equally
between the North and South-a decided
gain to the former over last session. But
as matter of fact, though the chairman
ships are equally divided between the two
sections, the controlling power rests with the
South Just as much as or more than before.
There are two ways of testing and proving
this truth. In the first place. three-quarters
of the committees are of very small conse-
quence, and the bulk of legislation is con-
centrated in the hands of few. We sup
pose all will agree that the important com
mittees are Ways and Means, Appropria-
lions, Elections, Banking and Currency,
Judiciary, Foreign Affairs, Military Affairs,
Naval Affairs, Commerce, Claims Pacific
Railroads, Post-offices, Territories, Coinage,
and few others. Now, of these important
committees the South has two-thirds of the
chairmanships. The statement that the
chairmanships are equally divided conveys
a wrong impression. 1t includes all OF the
third-rate committees that seldom meet and
never have anything to do. When we come
to examine those which really conduct the
business of the House, we find that the
South leads two to one as compared with
the North.
But there is another test-one that con-
siders not merely the chairmanships, but the
whole construction of the committees. We
find that even those that have Northern
chairmeu have majority of Southern
members. The Ways and Means has eight
democratic members-fve Southern and
three Northern. The Elections Committee
stands six from the South and three from
the North. Mr.. Randall is rightly com
mended for making General Bragg chairman
of War Claims but when he got beyond the
chairman he put on five Southern to one
Northern democrat, so that General Bragg
after all, counts but little. On Military
Affairs the division chances to be equal. Or
Foreign Affairs it is four to three in favo
of the South. These are the importan
committees with Northern chairmen and
with single exception, the majority of thu
democratic members on all live south of thu
Potomac. 1t is so with the COMMITTEES
under Southern chairmen. On Appropria
tions the South as against the North stand
six to three; ON Commerce seven to three
on Banking and Currency four to three, anc
so on through the whole list These fact
show where the real control lies.

THE CoLoRED EMGRANTs.-There are
gratifying assurances that the negro emf
grants who have fled from the South will
be enabled to make successful settlement
in Kansas. The colored people in different
parts of the country, who are able to assist
them, are promptly contributing the needed
means of immediate relief; and benevolent
whites are opening their purses freely in
aid Of this highly commendable work. Sup
plies of clothing, provisions, farming tools
and money are being sent forward to st.
Louis, where the local committees see that
they are properly distributed. In the mean
time parties in Southern Kansas are looking
out for homestead lands for the new settlers
and putting them in possession as fast as
possible. A good crop of corn and Other
articles, which can be raised on these land,
the first year, will give them affair beginning

The Chinese Business Again.
Washington, Feb. 20.-Representa-
tive Willis, of Kentucky, after con-
sultation with other democratic repre-
sentatives, has to-day concluded that
he will take the chances of obtaining
an opportunity to move for concur
renee of a senate amendment to the
Chinese immigration bill, instead of
taking the course agreed upon yester-
day, of sending the bill Immediately to
the committee of conference, with a
view to speedier action and perhaps also
the mission Of its clause, providing for
total abrogation of the fifth and sixth
articles Of the Burlingame treaty. The
republican members of the Pacific
coast delegation are still of the opinion
that this course is the most advisable.
But having placed the democrats in
possession of the grounds for their
opinion. they say the responsibility
rests with the democrats, who, more
over, they could not successfully antago-
nize.
