THE Post would have pulled Mr.. CoNKLING

This must be mistake. No one who

THE admission Of the Hon. d. T, CoRBIN
TO his seat in the Senate, now wrongfully
held by the Butcher of Hamburg, would be
an important step in the direction of Re-
publican restoration in that body in 1881.
Let any Senator figure it up, and he will
find that, counting the elections already
held and those to come, the Senate of the
Forty-seventh Congress will be tied politi-
cally If BUTLER remains wrongfully in his

So many years have elapsed since the war
that the South seems to have forgotten the

THE BANNING army bill rears its puny
head in the House again, strengthened,
however, by the agency of the gag law,
which has been invoked to enable its friends
to hitch it as "rider" to the regular army
appropriation bill. Independent of such
maneuyres it would have no support worth
mentioning; but engineered as it now is
by inscriptions parliamentarians, there is
a possible danger of its enactment by the
House.

If the Republican majority in the Senate
really appreciated the widespread and deep
public interest which exists in the CoRBIN-
BUTLER contest, there would be no hesta-
tion about taking il up and disposing of it
at once. BUTLER is an unsavory subject TO
the view of a large majority of the Ameri-
can people, and the general impression is
that he is an unnecessary disgrace to that
body--an unwelcome inteiloper.

In faco of the well, known facts in Washington

claims which have been paid already, 1t Is safe TO
say that 81 mas gone to an eX-rebel where 81 has

the Democratic Congressman of the South should

to the pending situation in the House. The
attempt was made in that body yesterday
to galvanize the BANNING army bill into
new life, the success of which would foist

that our present staff system, nurtured, ex-

child, opened TO her most willingly his purse.
But again the doctor came along with his
prescriptions. "You have yourself TO carry
to the poor people the things which they are
in need of. Your chambermaid may take
them to the door, but it is for you to dis
tribute them. Don't give any money, but
remedies, clothes and provisions never give
family more than for q week, and each
time you visit them, read to them psalm
selected by you beforehand"
The young girl obeyed conscientiously
those orders Her heart was restored to
life she was animated by a new interest !;
she learned to love- to pray, and TO enjoy
life. The fear she had for air, wind, rain,
was soon entirely gone. Her doctor took
her to many other patients, and the work Of
charity brought her verify TO life again.
Then only could remedies act on the reality
of her disease, and soon after she, who
whilst sick, had had at heart the care of
others, became healthy, pious and hearty
woman, who, az long as she lived-and she
lived many years-continued ascending the
narrow stairs of the poor, and visiting them
in the rear of their yards aud their narrow
and dirty alleys. "Thus," she said, " have
recovered the health of body and soul, and
as long as live shall pay in this manner
my tribute of gratitude"
In one of his letters the celebrated Will
berforce wrote these lines "This Spring
Miss c. is admirably well; her health has
improved she is much lovelier than last
year, and all her time is devoted to doing
good to the poor who surround her. Such
an example gives us a good lesson when
ever we are discouraged, uneasy, tortured
by cares, the best remedy consists in doing
acts of charity. Trust in the Lord and do
good. .'"-Neto York Witness.
