REMARKS BY THE EDITOR.

M. G. Butler of South Carolina, and
William Pitt Kellogg, of Louisiana, we're
admitted to seats in the Senate at the
same season. Butler represented the
Hampton Government of South Caro-.
lima, which Hayes recognized in pursu-
ance of the bargain by which the electo.
raj count was completed. Kellogg rep.
resented the Packard Government Of
Louisiana, which Hayes in like manner
bound himself to overthrow. The Com.
mittee on Privileges and Elections Of the
Senate in the Forty-ffth Congress re.
ported that Hayes did wrong in both
cases, and decided that Butler ought not
to be Senator from South Carolina, and
that Kellogg ought to be Senator from
Louisiana. The Republican majority Of
the Senate sustained the committee in
the last instance, and on the merits oil
the case confirmed Kellogg's right to his
seat. But in Buffers case two carpet
bag Senators, Patterson and Conover
voted with the Democrats and against
the report of the committee. Butler was
continued Senator from South Carolina
1t has always been alleged that this
result was reached in pursuance of an
arrangement. 1t was charged by Sena-
tor Edmunds at the time of the vote on
Buffers case that Patterson was to have
immunity in South Carolina in conside-
ration for his services to Butler. At that
time Patterson was indicted in South
Carolina for bribery. He denied that
there was any such understanding, and
SO did Butler. Immunity for Patterson
could only be guaranteed by Wade
Hampton, then Governor of South Car.
olina. The friends of Kellogg have al
ways insisted that Butler wss not voted
out of the Senate because there was m
agreement that the Democrats were no,
to disturb Kellogg. 1t was "an honor.
able understanding" by which the con-
tests in the two cases were disposed Of

it last year was over one hundred mil
lions. These are appalling figures. The
rapid extinction of this debt is to be de-
sired, first because it diminishes present
burdens, and for the additional reason
that one of the effects of a personal ma
tional debt is to create preferred class
to live on incomes and free from taxes
under our laws. Having the protection
of the government at home and abroad,
they would contribute nothing to its
support.
Econony.-It is practicable by co-ope-
ration between the Executive and Con-
gress to reduce the public expenditures
many millions annually without impair
ing the efficiency of the public service.
Retrenchment is needed for the reduc-
ton of taxes, but it is also needed be-
cause properly administered it would be-
come potent factor in reforming the
Civil Service.
Elections-The ballot box should be
the safeguard of the Republic, for it is
intended to express the free will of free
people. Therefore, elections should be
exempt from the presence of any mena-
cling force, and to be free from the con-
tamination of corrupt returning boards.
No party deserves confidence that seeks
ascendancy by striking down honest suf-
frages either by the use of troops, by
fraud or by intimidation. 1t would not
be proper for me to express any opinion
upon measures pending or proposed in
Congress. My votes will speak for them
selves st the fitting time.
Having thus freely answered your in
quiries, ! may add in conclusion that my
support will be cheerfully given to any
candidate for President who in good
faith will strive to carry out this general
line of policy, which, in my judgment, is
of far more Importance than the ambi.
tion of any man, or even the success oi
any party. As ever your friend,
DAVID DAVIS.

A QUAKER MARRIAGE-AN INTER
Esr1SG CEREMONIAL marriage took
place at New Garden, Friends meeting
house, in this county on last Wednesday
between Rev. R. r. King, of Spiceland,
Indiana, and Miss Alice R. Carr, of
Guilford county. As many of our read.
ers have never witnessed such ceremonies
we give an account of their procedure.
1t is known to most people that the
Friends hold two religious services each
week; one Sunday at or about IL
o'clock, a. m., the other in midweek at
tile same time of day. Atthese midweek
meetings twice month they transact the
business of their respective churches !;
one is called "Preparative Meeting"
which is held one week in advance of the
other which is called "Monthly Meet
ing"
The parties desiring to proceed in
marriage inform the Preparative Meet
ing, of which the woman is a member,
which shall forward the proposition to
the ensuing Monthly Meeting and if no
obstruction appears, the parties are left
at liberty to accomplish their marriage,
according to the rules of the Society.
This all having been gone through with,
last Wednesday quite large audience
met to witness the marriage. Meeting
convened at the usual hour; the first seat
in front of where the Ministers and Ed
crs usually sat was left vacant. After
very impressive sermon was delivered
by James Jones and the usual hour for
worship had half expired, the bride and
groom and four attendants entered the
church and occupied the reserved seat fac
ing the audience. After few minutes 81.
lence, the overseer of the meeting an
nounced that it was now the proper time
for the solemnization of the Marriage
when the couple and their attendants
stood up and taking each other by the
right hand, Mr.. King plainly and dis
tinctly said: "In the presence of the
Lord and before this assembly, I take
Alice R. Carr to be my wife promising,
with Divine assistance, to be unto her a
loving and faithful husband, until death
shall separate u.s." Miss Car then re-
peated the same, and all were seated.
The clerk of the monthly meeting then
arose and read the marriage certificate,
to which the bride and groom affixed
their names. After the Gle of the
meeting the near friends and .elatives
signed the certificate Us Witnesses

in department of the United States
mint at Philadelphia. The return of the
country To specie payments has vastly
increased the work at this mint, and q
Democratic Congress, with the faculty
for cheese-paring where it can be least
endured, has cut down the running ex-
penses of the mint to point which
works great injustice to many of the em-
pIoyees. This is particularly the case
with the 10 or so women in the adjusting
room. From s o'clock in the morning
till 8 at night these martyrs to hard
money ply their task. 1t is not so much

labor which tell the more disastrously

that drafts of air affect them the gold

commencing the election of Kellogg and

commencing tue election of Kellogg and
the seating of Spoherd, who was elected
by the Legislature which Hayes recog-
nized as the only legal one in Louisiana,
referred to this talk about a bargain,
agreement or understanding. He laid
that this talk had gone far enough to
compromise the honor of South Carolina,
and he took upon himself to deny that
South Carolina would have purchased
"her redemption from carpet.bag infa-
mics BY agreeing to continue those infa-
mics upon Louisiana"
To this Gen. Wade Hampton replied
in fowery speech. Avoiding the issue
squarely presented, he talked about fol-
lowing South Carolina's palmetto flag on
bloody fields that we're "shot sown and
bladed thick with STEEL" and told how
Gen. Gordon, Hill's colleague, bore the
colors of Georgia in the same way. He
charged Senator Hill with bravery in the
time of peace, and announced that he
(Hampton) would vote against the un-
seating of Kellogg.
On Wednesday Senator Butler took his
turn at Senator Hill. He denied that he
was admitted to the United States Senate
iu pursuance of q bargain, and an
nounced his intention to vote for the re.
tention of Kellogg. Read in the light
of his denial, ex-senator Patterson's let
tiers are refreshingly interesting.

AN ELOQUENT PAssAGE.-The fol-
lowing was from the pen of Geo. D..
Prentice: "It can not be that earth is
mans abiding place. 1t can not be that
our life is a mere bubble cast up by
eternity to float a moment on its waves
and then sink into nothingness. Else
why is it that the glorious aspirations
which leap like angels from the temple
of ones heart are forever wandering un-
satisfied? :? Why is it that the stars that
hold their festival around the midnight
throne are set above the grasp of our
limited faculties, forever mocking us with
their unapproachable glory? And, fl
nally, why is it that bright forms of hu-
man beauty presented to our view are
taken from us, leaving the thousand
streams of affection to flow back in AL
pine torrents upon our hearts ? There
is realm where the rainbow never
fades; where the stars will be spread
out before us like the islands that slum-
Der in the ocean; and where the beau
tiful beings which pass before us like
shadows will stay in our presence for.

Gen. Jollnston's Example.

General 10. Johnston objects to an
other term of Congress, on the ground
that the necessary confinement prevents
for him that amount of outdoor exercise
necessary for his health, and to which
he has always been accustomed. Gener-
al Johnston bears the truth of his medi-
cine with him, for he is q 6rst-cass ex-
ample of healthy, vigorous old age.
AS much as We dislike preaching or any
manner of medical dogmatizing, it does
become almost a necessity here to re-
mark that very large proportion of our
people become emaciated, skinny, sal
low, bloodless, bent, rheumatic and pre-.
maturely old, because they are prevented
by their pursuits from exercising enough,
and exercising where exercise will do
them good. One-half our men of forty
could not keep pace with the rollicking
boy of twelve or fifteen let loose in the
fields. Yet forty is not the time for such
physical decadence and inertia, and the
boy of fifteen, after few years confne-
ment at the desk, the counter, or some
other sedentary pursuit, becomes more

ran around barefooted. Walk a few
miles? How often to such proposition
does one hear from young men of twenty
five the refusal coupled with the sneer
at the idea of walking. The reason is
simple and the reason is good. Their
sedentary six days pursuits deprive them
of the ability and pleasure Of walking.
Yet it was not so with the boy of fifteen.
half the excessive corpulence in the
land is due to sheer lack of physical
exercise, and it is only physical exercise
which will abate it in healthy fashion.
Begging humanity's pardon, the case is
proven in that Of the hog. The wild
boar is 1.-the. active animal. The do.
mesticated swine is valuable only for
flesh, as regards flesh and avoirdupois,
when in his highest state of artificial
perfection scarce. able to waddle. Driv-
ing swine long distances on the road to
market does not fatten them. Turn the
hog out in new country, allow him
there unpenned to perpetuate his race
for a generation or two and the rotundity

and the animal reverts 10 tne cOnQltlO0

SO we'll calculated for fat, but more for
speed, and probably if his own views on
the subiect could be obtained, for gener.
al enjoyment The case is precisely the
same between the wild and tame geese
and ducks. Imprisonment for certain
special purpose has, from graceful agile
creatures, converted them into clumsy
waddlers. 1t is precisely so with men
and women. We do fade as the leaves
long ere we should from the necessity Of
living, moving and breathing in our
domiciliary boxes or narrow, close dusty
city streets, never thoroughly permeated
by the fresh pure air of the fields and
hilltops. Gen. Joe Johnston is one of
the few who values more his health than
seat in Congress.-7Ae Me'O York

Gov. SEwARD's ADVICE TO YOUNG
MEN.-Mr. Seward, in letter to young
man, just published for the first time,
said am glad to know you have got
into the country. 1t is the best place fol
young men. Allow me to give you q
word of advice. Just as soon as you can
get out of public employment into some
occupation by which you can sup.
port yourself, do it, and become an in
dependent man. Salaries exhaust the
energies of all men, and very often cor.
rupt them.
No greater calamity can befall young
man than to begin life in public Office
An easy clerkship, with q liberal salary.
oftener Injuries than benefits the recip'
lent. As rule, it units q young man
for the rougher work of life, and by tax
ing him away from the stimulating in.
fuence of competition, prevents him
from acquiring the mental and physical
fibre indispensable to success.
And these coveted positions are all the
more pernicious because they are so often
merely temporary. It would not be SO
bad if the young man who begins life in
q rut were permitted to stay there. But
these easy clerkships have come to be
recognized as rewards for party service
rendered either by the recipients or by
their friends, and come and 60 with the
rise and fall of parties. A dismissal clerk
from political Office is about as pitiable
an object as one often meets with.
During the two or four or six years he
has been drawing fair salary for little
work, he has been forming habits which
unfit him for sterner services, and he is
obliged to take up the thread of life
where he dropped it to enter upon bis
coveted clerkship, with fewer friends.
less ambition, and worse habits than
when he left his original employment,
where he had to work hard for little
pay, to enter upon an official position
where there was little to do and big pay
for doing it.
Whoever has any very protracted ex-
perience in political life can call up
scores of young men whose early abilities
inspired high hopes Of usefulness and
success, but who have sunk into obscuri.
ty, if not into something worse, under,
the enervating influence Of some petty
Office. Such position may help him
for few years, but the chances are that
it will spoil him for life.-Albany Jour-

- One of the coaches on the Great
Western Railroad of England has been
painted with Prof. Balmain's luminous
paint. 1t is in appearance very little
different from ordinary paint, but during
the time the carriage is exposed to the
light the paint israpid'y absorbing the
daylight, and when night comes it throws
out mild radiance. 1t has been en-
ployed on life buoys, rendering them

CHINESE CHAR1TY.-The lates mails
from China bring intelligence that the
Chinese in Hong Kong have subscribed
literally to the sufferers from the Irish
famine. They decided at public meet
ing that large amount of money should
be promptly forwarded to the Mayor of
Cork for distribution among the distressed
in that country. This sounds very much
as if the Celestials at home we're, after
the Scriptural injunction, heaping Goals
of fire on those who have certainly been,
and are still their enemies. The Chinese
have done for the Irish what the Irish
would not be very likely to do for them.
The Irish in this country hate the Chi
nese most bitterly, and have lost no op-
portun'ty to harm them. Now, the Chi
nese, instead of remembering and resent
ing their wrongs, have literally returned
good for evil, and have set an example
that both Europeans and Americans
might follow with credit to themselves.
Within few years there have been dire

which the famine in Ireland is insignifi-

We have reason to be amazed and morti.
fed that the far Eastern people, whom
many of us have regarded as an inferior
and despicable race, should be more
sympathetic with, and charitable to, the
inhabitants of q very distant island than
the most enlightened of us have ever been
to them. The Irish ought, if they have
any sensibility, to feel deeply ashamed
of the high moral revenge which those
who have had abundant cause to be their
enemies, and yet not, have SO magnan-
imously taken upon them. The Irish
call themselves Christians; the Chinese
are pagans; but in this case at least
the pagans seem to have, in respect to
practical virtue, q conspicuous advantage
over their Christian foes.
