XLVITH CONGRESS-SECOND SIS
SION.

SENArE.-Mr. Hoar stated that he had in
tended to call up this morning the resolution
submitted by him yesterday, directing the
Committee on Judiciary to report the bill to
reimburse, out of the Geneva award all those
who lost ships by the dcpredations OF Confed
crate cruisers during tho rebellion, but he
would not oppose the consideration of the
conference report on the Indian appropria-
ton bill. which was then taken up, on motion
of Mr. Beck.
MIR. Edmunds opposed the adoption of the
report, the House having failed to convince
the Senate that the Indian com mission ought
to be abolished. If it was properly in order
TO secure the passage of an appropriation
bill Mt all, or to withhold money necessary to
nay the expense of the commission this was
practically notification. This was not po-
| itical question, and he urged the Senate to
refrain from consenting to the introduction
of such practice in conferences between the
| Houses.
Mr.. Beck said the Conference committee
had thought il best to remove this ground of
difference and secure the passage OF The bill.
inasmuch as the sundry civil and other APP
preparation bills would soon follow, on which
an appropriation for the commission could
be made if thought best.
HousE.-The House met at 1890 and pro-
ceeded to consider the Fostotice appropria-
ton bill.

Some of the Democratic Journals
are still hammering away at Garfeld's
De GOlyer and Credit Mobilier records
to prove him corrupt man; but it is
evident they are not making much
Roadway. Both Democrats and Re-
publicans who know him best acquit
him of all corrupt and dishonest mo-
tiyes. We think, however, this record
does show the weak point in his char
ecter; he is not sufficiently guarded
for the atmosphere of Washington.
Being man of pure life and honest
aims he is not ready to believe evil Of
others. Nevertheless it is to be hoped
his hard experience will be warning
to him in time to come; and should he
be elected President make him eminent
~ suspicious of the rascals that swarm
about the'Capital of the country.

Hancock's letter of acceptance is
brief and pointed.
Even as specimen of strong, tersc
English it is worth every ones perusal.
1t is, also, in every line and word
manly and patriotic, He does not
falteI in his devotion to the integrity
of the Union, and he stands fast by
the Constitution as it is. He upholds
the supremacy of law and subordi-
mates the military to the civil power.
In this respect he stands precisely
where Henry Clay, the great Wing
leader stood.
The letter is evidently the product
of his own brain and the inspiration
Of his own heart.
He can write as we'll as fight.

We like General Hancock's letter
to General Sherman even better than
his letter of acceptance.
1t is informal and of private ma
ture and, therefore, gives us better
insight to the real character of the
man.
How free it is from all bitterness
and partisansbipl What familiarity
it shows with the constitution of the
United States and the underlying
principles of all good Government
Let no man after this talk of Han
cocks want of craftsmanship.
If his critics had only half as much
their fortunes would be made.

There is great deal of grumbling
among the Republicans about mea-
sures necessary to concilate the South.
1t would seem, however, to a dispas-
sionate person, that all of the concili-
atory policy is on the part of the
Southern people. They show a most
excellent spirit in rallyiug to the sup
port of a man whose distinguished
ability was exerted tn put down a
movement which they enormously
but honestly believed to be righteous
one.
No sane and truthful man doubts
the unionism of Hancock, attested as
it was by the peril of his life on many
bloody field; and yet it is this re-
powned Union General that the great
majority of the late rebels are willing
to take for the highest office in tn,
Government.
In what other way could they NOR,
clearly demonstrate their acceptance,
of the results of the war?

Phe "Daily News" had an excellent
article in favor Of good, thorough
education even for business men, the
other day.
1t is, indeed, necessary in our day
that the great mpss of men in order to
succeed in life should have had their
minds well trained and disciplined in
q rightly organized and properly con-
Quoted common school, and many, as
the "News" suggests, SHOULD go beyond
this and endeavor to obtain the adj
yantages of collegiate instruction;
which is by no means SO difficult as
some imagine. The expense has been
reduced to almost a minimum. But
our NeighboF need not have instanced
Harvard University as among the
best places In which TO get good and
cheap education. We have RICH
here at home in our State a Colleg'
where just as good an education cal
be had and great deal cheaper. w
are prone to overlook the advantage
that lie Immediately around us, an
to look with admiration TO those point
where distance lends enchantmept t
TO the view"
We believe 1t is sound policy
educate eur boys and girls within on
own State. :.
'The glitter and glare" Of opr ed'
cational Institutions may not be {
great but in solid merit they will con
pare fayorably with any found els
where; and for inexpensiveness the
are greatly to be preferred.
