Ex-Chief Justice Agnew On the Tendencies

Ex-Chier Justice Agnew On the Tendencies
and Dangers Of tho Maclline.
In his address at Roanoke college,
Salem, Va, Judge Agnew significantly
said :: "Sometimes tho Olisarchs choose a
chief whose wealth Or other attributes
may be used for the benefit of the system.
The power and mode Of action Of this or
gauization is often seen in its control Of
national affairs. Through tho oligarchy 4

fore the people can act in primary ca

This they effect not only by caucus, but
by cngrossing the powers Of the president.
To do this a new reading is given to the

Tho constitution gives the president
the sole power Of nominations, but the
cbieftain, carried into the Senate by
fcudal power, turns upon the executive
with inimitable assurance, and demands
that he be consulted before nomina-
ton. Not content with his own power
to confirm or reject, he must be the
channel of nomination also. And if, per-
chance, a nomination be made without
his permission, the president must with
draw it, or be held guilty of transgressing
the privileges Of the Senate. A common
understanding would consider this an in

Post, writing from Rome of the recent earth.

says that the falling houses, the gaps in the
streets. the screams of the wounded and the
weeping of the frightened and bereaved in
habitants formed a scene which will never
be forgotten by those who were there. Many
persons fled to the open country, while others
hung over the Masses of stones where their
loved ones were buried, unmndful of falling
walls and the heaving earth. Three Young
girls whose mother was buried beneath the
walls of their habitation would not leave the
spot, until. with the assistance of the soldiers,
they had extricated her mangled corpse.
The soldiers who were sent by the govern
ment from Naples exhibited great courage
and self forgetfulness, and the anecdotes that
are related of their generosity recall the
affecting stories told by Edmondo di Amicis
in his book called la Vita Militare."
Even the prisoners released for the occasion
from their cells in the Bagno of Ischia. per-
formed prodigies of valor in saving the
wounded and burying the dead. A Neapoli-
tan sergeant, with generous temerity, rushed
into falling house and succeeded in saving
a poor woman and her child. A corporal
fear, refused to fellow him and opposed all
his strength to the efforts of the courageous
soldier.
The night lent new horrors to the scene.
rs nothing could be done in the darkness.
The shaken houses fell at intervals, and the
cries of the wounded or bereavcd resounded
through the silent hours. Work was resumed
in the morning, and more dead bodies were
dragged from under the ruined walls. The
streets show here and there wide and deep
assures. Here is house divided, from tn G
roof to the ground, by broad gap and there

remains with tightly barred win.
dow in it. What irony of nature! The
window is still closed, but the house is ruin
ed and the little family--a husband, a wife
and daughter-are dead or wounded.
While the soldiers were laboring to pull
down trembling walls and clear the streets of
rubbish, one of them suddenly uttered cry.
He saw something which, even in the midst
of those Undesirable terrors, excited new
fear. From the summit of high wall which
had formed the corner of house he saw a
white handkerchief waving. A woman had
been there whole day and night, the rest
of the building having fallen, leaving
her little room in the corner of the walls.
Colonel Parodi ordered ladders to be placed
against the wall, but none volunteered to
ascend them as it was almost certain death.
The colonel then mounted the ladder himself
and with the aid of another person succeeded
in rescuing the poor woman. She could not
speak at first. but soon gave desperate cry
and distractcdly ran away only to fall faint
ing. Her reason was gone, and she NAV not
regain it.

wAsHINsroS. March -.
SENATE.
After reading the journal the resolution
was called up for the election Of officers Of
the Senate.
Mr.. Johnston stated that he had intended
to reply to the speech of his colleague. but
As il did not appear in the Record this morn
ing. and As he did not wish to misrepresent
his colleague. he would postpone his reply
until he could read that report.
Mr.. Hampton denied the statement made
yesterday by MIR. Malone, :ha, the democra-
tic party had repudiated the debt of South
Carolina, asserting that if there had been re-
pudiafion j; had been when the State was
under control of the party with which the
gentleman is now acting. He then recited
the action Of the democrats in this special
session; their attempt to fulfil their duty, in
the organization of the committees, and ar
gued against the right OF the Vice President
to vote on the election of officers. He said
the democrats opposed the proposed action
of the republican members because it would
break the established precedent, and estab-
fish n bad one; because the Senate had been
called here for the execution Of business,
and. above all. grave suspicious had taken
hold of the public mind that this action was
the result of an unnatural coalition and cor
rupt bargain. The Senator from Virginia
(Mahone) declared that he had been moved
by no impure considerations. He would say
to him, in all frankness, that he would
strengthen his position before the country;
he would show what considerations moved
him. The suspicious might be groundless.
but it was due to the reputation of this body
that it should appoint a committee with full
power to ascertain the truth or falsity of the
