were paired with Allison, Thurman and Nc
Creary, who would have voted in the negative.
Senator Edmunds raised the point Of order
that under the 29th rule the amendment could
not be considered because it proposed general
legislation to general appropriation bill,
Lengthy debate ensued upon this point of
o:der.
Senator CQnkling argued that this was legis-
latlon entirely proper but on an amendment to
an appropriation bill to repeal test oaths and
all laws by which piracy on the ballot box nav
be prevented would be general legislation and
could not be attached to an appropriation
bill.
Senator Beck said the post route bill of last
session failed to become a law on account of
this Brazilian mail subsidy being on it. Now
the House had sent to the Senate a bill simply
making an appropriation for post Office pur-
poses and the Senate proposed to load it down
with this Brazilian subsidy.
Senator Maxey said the House refused to
consider the post route bill of last session, not
on account of the Brazilian subsidy bill but IN
account Of an amendment allowing foreion
books free through the mails, the house regard
ing that as revenue measure.
Senator Bayard argued that this was a scheme
to further commercial enterprises.

OF earthquakes and Of suicides,
OF failing crops of cotton,

And banking systems rotten.

How do the war Democrats like the

fought for? What they looked for when
they left their party leaders and gave
their voices and votes to the support of
the national government against the
Confederate secession? Would they
then have thought this political situa-

Confederate leaders holding both Senate
and House of Representatives holding

The Xenia Muss as Jayhawker
&aW H.

Jayhawker, in Saturdays Cincinnati
Enquirer, gives over columa of very
finely printed matter, which in substance
is not so fine, of his investigation of the
kissing charges against DR.. Keifer, SUI
perintendent of the Xenia Orphans
Home. By this it is made very plain
that wonderful amount of prOmiscu-
Gus kissing was done, for an old gentle
man seventy-three years of age, and all
in "fatherly way" 1t further appears
that since the charges appeared the in
mates and the kissed generally have
been schOOled how to receive outside in
quirers as to the osculatOry practices
carried ON, and Mr.. Jayhawker had some
difficulty in worming the truth of the
matter out of them. But he finally got
what the ladies acknowledged to be facts
from them-that they had been kissed,
all of the twenty teachers except two,
and the number of young girls was not
stated. Many of them expressed their
indignation at the old Doctors conduct,
and declared they would, and do not
now, go into his office unaccompanied.
Jayhawker also says he discovered an
attempt had been made by self-consti-
tuted committee of Democrats from
Xenia last week to hush the matter up:
They visited the Home and called the
teachers together, and asked them to
sign paper stating that, so far as re-
lated to them, the charges were untrue.
All refused to sign this paper except
two, and they afterward withdrew their
names.
After DR.. Keifer (who had denied
these charges to Jayhawker at first, and
said they were only malicious lies of
employes) found out that ne
was getting hold of facts, he sent for
him, and when informed what truths
Jayhawker had got hold Of he broke
down entirely, denied all criminal intent,
and proposed to resign at once. The
same correspondent reports that the ex-
penditures of the Home during the sew
en- months of DR.. Keifer's administration
have exceeded those of his predecessor
for the corresponding period in last year
about twenty per cent.

child trampled beneath the brutal feet of
might. And all this was done under our
own banner of the free.
THE past rises before us. We hear
the roar and shrek of the bursting shell.
The broken fetters fall. These heroes
died. We look. Instead of slaves we
see men, and women, and children. The
wand of progress touches the auction
block, the slave pen, the whigping post,
and we see homes, and firesides, and
school houses, and books, and where all
was want, and crime, and cruelty, and
fetters, We see the faces of the free.
These heroes are dead. They died
for liberty; they died for US. They are
at rest. They sleep in the land they
mode free, under the flag they rendered
stainless, under the solemn pines, the
sad hemlocks, the fearful widows, and
the embracing vines. They sleep be-
meath shadows of the clouds, careless
alike of the sunshine or of{storm, each
in the windOwless palace of rest. Earth
may run red with other wars-they are
at peace. In the midst of battle, in the

of death. A voice-'GlOry.1 1 have

Indianapolis News Qnd9: The noisy

hackers, have promulgated a five-barrel-

done at this session of Congress. 1t is

about as much vicious disturbance to

Chicago News: A member of the Illi-
nois Legislature was on his sick bed.
His physician was whispering to his
nurse, by the bedside, "I am afraid he
will die" The sick man rose up in bed,
and making superhuman effort, he
cried out; "Who said sine die? l move
as an amendment, that we simply take
a recess for three weeks"
New York Herald: Many papers are
at last awakening to the fact that when
a person who is witness in court takes
a solemn oath to lell the whole truth,
brow-beating lawyers should not prevent
him from fulfilling his obligation to God.
Besides, it is becoming to be considered
that lawyer has no right to be a loafer
simply because he happens to be enga-
ged in a case.

den is nominated again, as he appar ent-
ly will be, in 1880, he shall have another

but Tilden and Reform" Reform occu-
pies permanently the second place on
