on that committee, consisting Of Messrs.
WADLEIGH, MITCHELL, CAMERON (of Wis.,,
MCMILLAN, HoAR, and INGALLS,, unite in
a learned report showing the absolute legal

and the wrong done one year ago in swear

notoriety, on his HAMPTON credentials, will
be corrected. We do not see how any Sem
ator with one drop Of Republican blood in
his veins can fail to vote for the admission
of Mr. CoRBIN We should expect, were it
not for the reckless party spirit rampant in
the Democratic party now, that the more
conservative Democratic Senators would
vote for Mr.. CORBIN's admission. But this
is perhaps too much to expect of them, but
we do expect that all the Republican Sena-

Once seated, we predict for Mr.. CoRBIN a
useful career in the Senate. His intimate
acquaintance with affairs in the South and
his intelligence and vigor can but make him
q valuable acquisition to that body.

DECLINES A RECEPTION,

The citizens of Michigan residents at
Washington, together with host of the cit
liens from other States, including the great
mass of the people of Washington, desired
to give Senator CHANDLER a fitting and
stalwart reception on his arrival to take his
seat in the Senate Committees had been
appointed, funds had been raised with
which TO secure bands, torches, fireworks,
the firing Of artillery, and all the parapher-
MALTA of high old time, and the next ques-
ton was when he would reach this city. He
was approached on that subject, and to the
dismay of his expectant friends, word came
back that he would positively but respect
fully decline being the object of such at
tentions, as they would not be in harmony
with his tastes, feelings, and wishes. This
settles IL. There Is no use of arguing OF
pleading with the Old Stalwart when ht
puts his foot down. The jig sup. There
will be no public demonstration in honol
of his arrival at the National Capital, ant
for these reasons. The disappointment il

Its execution would be in violation of all

inquiry and investigation of his case, Is
final and emphatically ends all claims for a

THE New York Times in referring to the

the laws enfranchising the colored people of
the South and providing for fair and pure
elections, puts the question to them very

GENERAL BEN BUTLER Is receiving much
undeserved praise as the author of the
proposition to pension MANNED Confederate
soldiers. The truth is this proposition was
seriously talked of by many Republican
leaders during President JoHNsoN's admin
istration and at that time was understood
to have received the hearty approval OF
General GRANT. Why it was never for
mulated into law, is a question we will not
undertake TO answer. It is certain now
however, that the rebels, having so speedily
forgotten they Were ever whipped, are not
entitled to so much coneiliatory consider.

ADJOINING SPECULATION.

Wall street begins to put on new life and
activity under u revival of confidence.
Monday was a very lively day; the excite
ment ruled high, and fortunes were made
in single transactions. The fever seems to
be rising, and it is not improbable that
speculation will be rife within the week to
an extent not known for long period.
The main transactions were in Union Pa
cilic stock but speculation is us catching Us
the smallpox, and often as disastrous; but
nevertheless the speculative Infection whca
once started, spreads rapidly. JAY GOULD
sold 100000 shares of Union Pacific at 20.
These cost him S3,0O0,000 and realized him
S000000, thus giving clean profit in u
single day of $4,000,0O0. lie retained
10000 shares of Union Pacific stock,
which he thinks will realize him
S7,000,000 more. This little property will
make him comfortable for life, provided lie
practices rigid economy and rctires from
the vicissitudes of Wall street. Otherwise
he is liable to die poor, if he should have q
| fair lease of existence.
This sudden rise in values will not con
! fine itself to Union Pacific, but few day.

THE REPUBLICAN errs if it supposes GRANT
could obtain many white votes at the SOUTH
augusta Ga Chronicle.
Perhaps! But, unless our information is
entirely at fault, in contest in 1850 ma
jority of the people of Georgia and other
States in the South will array themselves,
even on the Presidential question, against
the Bourbons, and especially so should Gen.
eral GRANT be a candidate. Bourbonism is

THE ENGLISH REFORMATION: HOW IT CAME
ABOUT, AND WHY WE SHOULD UPHOLD lT.
By CCNNINGHAM GElRtE, d. D., author of The
Life and Words OF Christ &c. New York d..
Appleton d Co.
This carefully considered and candidly writ
ten history of the English Reformation is from
the Protestant standpoint. 1t has for its aim
to enlghten the public mind as to what in
fluences and consideration led to the reforma-
tion which divided the Roman Catholic Church
and led the Protestants to resist the ecclesias-
tical power which had for centuries ruled
souls, households and country. The Reforma-
tion autagonized the docrine that the Church
ought to be supreme in the State; that the
power of the State ought to be
at its command, and that while the
Church has divine right to in
terfere with the State at every turn, the State
must not even remotely interfere with the
assumptions, ambitions, or tyranny of the
Church. These principles in the Church have
not only led to Professionalism all over the
world, but have led 10 wars and bloOdshed. The
attempt to crush Professionalism in Germany
led to the war of 1870. In Italy the struggle
between ecclesiastical aud civil powers has been
continuous The Church demanded suprem
acy in the German Empire, while the state de.
manded its entire subordination. Belgiu = has
had its struggle, and the United States and
British America are in the midst of one in
which tho Romish Church is steadily pushing
for supremacy. In the United States, how
ever, the tasl; Of ensaving the popular mind to
any Church is greater than anywhere else on
the globe.
