THE SENATE IN GOOD HUMOR

The Senate has not appeared to so good
when the difficult and complicated Gues-
tions involved in the Electoral Count reso-
lutions were discussed with equal good
nature, good sense and ability by such
men as Edmunds. Thurman. Blaine, Hill,
Eaton, and Garland. There was diver
sity of views, but common spirit of con-
cession. There was no debate: rather II
free and friendly talk by some OF the
ablest constitutional lawyers in the coun-
try and by political leaders who have
fought each other with unsparing rigor
Mr.. Edmunds made statement that will
surprise most persons, when he objected
to the Senate going to the House to wit
ness the counting of the Electoral votes
and said:
As the President of the Senate was the
custodian of the Electoral certificates, it fol-
lowed that the Senate chamber was the
proper place for their deposit. The time
might come again, as it had come before,
when the carrying of these archives Il dis
lance of an eighth of a mile to the hall of
House through great crowd Of men whom
Senators did not know and in Il time of the
great excitement, would be au act imperil-
ing their safety.
Mr.. Eaton wanted to "make a record. y
by an amendment expressly denying the
right of the Vice President to count the
Electoral votes, but the Senate was in no
humor for such divergence from its
harmonious proceedings and "sat down -
on his amendment.
Mr.. Blaine, who is equal to every sud-
den opportunity, improved the chance of
proposing fair. sensible. and practical
method of counting the Electoral votes.
so as to avoid the risks of contested
succession. He gave notice that "if an
extra session Of Congress was held, he
would move for Il committee to sit dur
ing recess to consider and to report by
the first Monday of next December a
remedy for this evil. He would also sug-
gest that that committee should be com
posed of two Republicans, two Demo
Gratis, aud the Senator from Illinois (Mr
Davis) for Chairman
Whereupon the Senate exploded with
good-natured laughter. Such a commit
tee, however. could render a great ser
vice, and it would be almost worth the
cost of an extra session to get it. But
how will Mr.. Blaine do any thing in the
Senate at an extra session, if he becomes
Secretary of State after President-elect
Garfield is inaugurated?

HENRY 8. WRIT.

While individual estiIl ates OF cAa.ac-
ter MAJ not always be implicitly le}j' d
upon-the weakness of human nature too
frequently giving bias to our opinions.
exaggerating the virtues of friends, and
aggravating the foibles of those who do
not share our confidence; yet, it is uni
versally conceded, that the general esti-
mate placed by community upon a man,
fixes the true standard by which his char
acter may be Judged. Accepting this
statement in its full force, it is Il duty,
not lessened by the melancholy reflections
which his untimely death inspires. to re-
cord tie universal esteem which he whose
name heads this tribute, while living
shared, and to which the recollection Of
his mauly virtues now gives voice. Full
some adulation of the dead wounds rather
than soothes the ear of Sorrowing sensi-
bility, but the sincere recognition of de-
parted worth is a solace to the bereaved.
HENRY b. WRIT was eminently worthy

spire, or friendship suggest. His tilial
and marital devotion Sanctilies the re-
memhrance of his domestic life. His
strict integrity, and upright walk. chal-
lengcd the confidence of his business
associates. His generous nature and
proverbial good faith, commanded the
respect and admiration of his social com
panions. His consistent private life. and
answering moral character, strength
ened his church ties. and multiplies his
vacancies. In every relation of life. as
son, husband, brother, citizen and friend.
he was at once true and exemplary. Pos
sesscd of unusual amiability: of Il spirit
singularly Ingenious, candid and sincere:
of manners gentle and conciliating: and
of heart which was the home Of those
amiabie qualities which give recognized
charm to the masculine character. when
refined by education and softened by cul-
ture: he was equally respected and be-
loved by all who were admitted to his
friendship. In the morning of life, and
bound to his family and friends by all
the endearing ties which make it So de-
sirable to live, he has received the sum-
mons which called him from the circle he
has honored and adorned At the altar of
respectful friendship we lay the tributes,
which his memory sanctities. The mys-
terry of his death will forever repose with
the Omniscient Being in whom he placed
his trust.

Try. Still others are going to Join MI

try. Still others are going to join Mr..
Il gan III Paris, where Mir. Parnell ro~ Is,
making arrangements with regard to the
large funds of the Land League, depos-
led there. 1t seems that these funds are
now invested in the names, and subject
t. the orders, of Parnell Egan and Dill
l,r. These funds will be drawn out and
reinvested in the names of persons not
likely to fall under the provisions of the
Coercion bill.
All these facts are significant of sud
den halt in the plans of those who have
been using the legitimate grievances of
the Irish people rs the means for further
ing schemes that had no other logical end
than the independence of Ireland. So
long as handful of obstructionists could
paralyze Parliament, the purposes of rev.
dictionary conspirators could be further
ed with absolute safety to themselves.
But Parliament having shaken off the
letters of slavery to rules established
mainly to protect the legitimate rights of
the minority. and asserted its ri ght to do
business. the whole situation has changed
Revolutionists must take the usual risks
elsewhere run by their class. The gov
eminent is left free to protect itself
against the initial procedures of revolu-
ton.
The Land League movement cannot be
brought to stand in any short time, but
it has ceased to grow in power, its pres
tige is gone. and its dissolution will soon
begin, if Mr.. Gladstone-following the
instincts of his liberal and generous ma
ture and his own precedents-shall hold
out to the distressed and despoiled Irish
people a cheering hope of remedial legis-
lation that will go to the roots of the evils
that have SO long cursed Ireland. This
we have no doubt he will do. and he will
crown his long and noble career with
measures of wise liberality for Ireland
that will be remembered with gratitude
by the more intelligent Irishmen of 4 cen
fury hence, however the present genera
ton may scorn or crticise any possible
legislation for Ireland by an English Par
lament.
