Grant and the Army.
PRESIDENT VINO PRorEssEp TO HAVE 40
RESPECT roR TUE CONSTITUTION.

PRESIDENT VINO PRorEssEp TO HAVE no
RESPECT roR TuE CONSTITUTION.
From dispatch to the Philadelphia Times,
WAsuiNaroS, April lS.-Tbe debate
in tho Senate ON tho army bill was
briefcr than usual, ms nobody seemed to
be ready to speak. There was short
debate on the Senate officers, in which
the Republicans charge that the Demo.
cratic caucus now controlled the action
of the Senate. Senator Randolph
made a speech on the presence of toops
at the polls. and, as usual, when he
speaks he had something TO say worth
listening to. The closing portion of his
remarks ought to receive the attention
OF the friends of Gen. Grant. Accord.
ing to Rapdolph's statement Grant con.
fessed few years ago to having practi.
cally no respect for the Constitution or
the Supreme Court, and that his ideas
were that the army should rule the
country. Next week it is expected that
there will be some heavy speeches.
Conkling. Chandler, Allison and other
Republicans will speak, and Thurman is
also preparing an argument.
The sentiment ascribcd to Grant by
Senator Randolph is so characteristic
of his acts rs President, that no one
can fail to recognize the truthfulncss
of this statement, even if it had less
distinguished endorser. As President,
Grant showed very little if any re-
respect for the Constitution, and GER
tainly the army was supreme as far rs
the President was capable of making
ii SO.

THE New York Sun, choosing be.
tween Grant and Sherman as the
Presidential candidate of the Repub-
lican party, prefers Sherman. The
choice of either we should think q
difficult conundrum to any one who
Possesses q proper degree of interest
in the success and stability Of Repub-
lcan government. One is simply a
military tyrant of ordinary caliber
and low instincts-the other an adroit
speculating politician of fair ability
and unscrupulous in means and action.
The Suns choice, however, is the most
creditable of the two, but we trust
Providence has already sufficiently
scOurged the American people, and
will avert the calamity which the
choice of either of these men as Presi-
dent would infict upon the country.

The question Of Southern claims
was again up in the House last week,
but excited little attention, and was
dismissed without any howl from the
stalwarts. The calm and dignifed
discussion of the subject in opposition
to these claims by the Rebel Briga-
diers," has so exposed the absurdity of
the Republican cry of "Rebel claims" !"
that the subject seems to be dropped
and discarded as not an available ad.
juct to the "blOody shirt" programme.

ONLY six hundred men were arrested
and imprisoned on false charges by
Davenport in New York last fall, to
prevent them voting the Democratic
ticket. This, say the Republicans,
was mere trihe. Perhaps it was, but
it was a trihe of 600 too much to per.
init the dirty tyrant to repeat it next
fall. Congress proposes to retire him

Speech Of senator Wallace.

we're as different as the two men.
Blaine's WAS a bunch Of rhetorical sky.

logic. The former made no attempt at
argument. He did not even discuss the
question, but denounced the legislation
under consideration on general princi.

clusively TO the question and dealt in
nothing but argument. His language
was simple, tersc and vivid. OF Thetor.

dress his ideas. There was none Of
Blalnc's dramatic style, nor any Of
Voorhees, forid wealth OF imagery. IL
WAS hard. solid, irrefutsble logic from

being dry speech, and throughout
he commanded the attention of both
senate and spectators. IL was the finest
OF the many efforts that WALLACE has
made in the senate. and surprised even
those acquainted with his capabilities

NEW YORK.

New YORK, Sept. 18.-The
piano factory employees have been
striking quietly for some time,
alleging that the prices of pianos
have not been reduced and the sales
increasing, while wages have stead
lily declined during the last FIVE
years. The result of the dissatis-
faction has resulted in a general in
crease of pay.
A letter has been addressed to
W. II. Vanderbilt by the Committee
of the Chamber of Commerce on
Railroad Transportation, suggest
ing Congressional action to regu-
late railroad traffic throughout the
United States. The letter proposes
that the President of the Trunk
Line should cause 70 be prepared a
bill designed to accomplish this OBJ
ject. They further suggest that the
bill be presented for criticism to the
representative commercial bodies in
the several cities.

THERE is, just now, general stir
ring up of public officials in Gt orgia.
The Staie Comptroller General was
impeached by 'h9 House of Repre-
sentatives few weeks ago, and after
his trial had been in progress for sew
eral days, when it became evident that
he was going to be convicted of high
crimes and mlsdemeanOrs, he rendered
his Resignation, W nich the Governor
did not accept. The Treasurer was be-
ing investiga ed with a view to i'm
parchment t, e. ape which he also re-
signed, and the l.. .gislature is wres>
tling with the ques, i'm whether or
not to impeach him. The Superin-
tendeut of the penitentiary is aleo
guilty of crookedness, and, it is
thought, will be supplanted. And it
has been said that lightning will
probably strike the Governor before
they are through All Democrats.

BosToN, Sept. 18.-The fire last
night, Of incendiary origin, broke
out in a tenement house in South
Boston, occupied principally by
Germans, nearly all of whom were
asleep at the time. The fire broke
out in the rear portion of the lower
story, and made such rapid head
way that before those in the upper
stories could descend all avenues of
escape were cut off. The scene was
one of the greatest distress, as the
imprisoned victims appeared on the
roof and at the windows in a vain
attempt to seek safety. Several
burned to death, and others were
badly injured, and it is not yet
known what is the full extent of
the disaster. Mary Huldworth was
burned to death. Her husband is
also badly burned and has been re-
moved to the hospital. Friedmond
Mayruth jumped from the roof Of
the burning building and was killed.
His wife, Amelia, aged %, jumped
from the third story window, with
her son. She had a leg and an arm
broken and was otherwise injured
and the boy was badly hurt in the
spine. The body of man who is
not yet recognized, but who is sup
posed to be Christian Fifer, was
found in the ruins. A young woman
and two children, known to have
been in the house at the time, are
missing and are probably burned.
The list of dead taken from the
tenement house in Gold street,
which was burned last night, COM
prises five persons, which may be
increased to seven or eight.
