THE "FIRST LADY" BUSINESS.
The etiquette of the White House, al
to the "first lady" is still narrowing
topic of debate. The last opinion is
from an able edito>>al drbiter etdgGntd-
rum, who rather perfunctorily asserts
that the lady of the White House-now
the presidents sister-is that dignltary,
and concludes that at general recep-
ton Mrs. McElroy must be that lady.
II the president had a wife, of course
she would be do .faeto first lady. But
the truth is that at a general reception
the presidents sister, or his wife, as the
case may be, while first lady de fdctO,
does not relieve the president
of his dilemma. He does mol
crook the plant hinges Of
his sinister elbow to the recognized
first lady at all, but hooks on some
other lady. who, for the nonce, becomes
etiquetically "first lady"-whom ht

lawful first lady mentioned, hooks on &c

CHICAGO.

CHICAGO, Ill, March 25.-The spec
ulative markets on change show a
larger line of transactions in grain,
and there is a steadier tone, with in
dications of increasing confidence.
The movement in provisions is
small and closely confined to Phil
Armour, Singer, Fowler Bros, and
the ring of spectators who form the
so-called provision crowd, who rep
resent the packing interest, either as
packers or brokers, outside specula-
tors not being disposed to touch any
article on the list, and the demand for
shipment to consuming points being
small. It is proper to say, however,
that the small receipts of hogs and
the very low quality of the bulk of
the animals, coupled with the fact
that nearly all the marketable hogs
received are taken for the eastern
markets, is favorable for reduced
stocks and better prices, were it not
that speculative manipulations have
driven legitimate dealers entirely
from the trade.

THE EDUCATION BILL.
Vance, of North Carolina, Hits HOar
Under the Belt.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March &c.
The senate this afternoon resumed the
consideration of the bill making a
princely appropriation for the educa-
ton of white and colored children,
upon the basis of the illiteracy in the
several states.
Vance said the whole country for
many years had been taxed to support
Massachusetts,, and North Carolina
was compelled to contribute to that
support. He referred to the remark
made by Hoar, of Massachusetts, yes
terday. Vance said it was constant
source of modification to him
(Vance) to hear senators taunt
his state with illiteracy, but
it made the modification more
humiliating to hear that taunt come
from a representative of Tewksbury,
the representative state that has sac
rificed every principle for gain, that
was more responsible for slavery than
any other state, that was nursing the
mother of horrors even in these days
of civilization. When slavery was
found not to pay in Massachusetts,,
Vance said, the people of that state
sold their slaves to the south for a
consideration, and then thanked God
and sang meter doxology through
their noses on the pretence that they
were not responsible any longer for the
sin of slavery.
Dolph concurred in the main with
the purpose of the pending bill, though
not with its details. All Northern,
Western and Pacific states could edu-
cate their own children, and if the
people of the southern states would
Voluntarially tax themselves as much
as the people of Portland, Ore, had
done, they would be able to give all
their people as good an education as
the majority of the members of the
United States senate had received in
their childhood.
Hoar did not wish to follow the SEN
ator from Noeth Carolina (Vance) into
that province which, with other sena-
tors, he seemed to have monopoly of
raking up old comic almanacs that
would not sell for Ga penny apiece
for the sake of making up a speech.
But Hoar ought, after Vance's
speech, to call attention to the
precise attitude in which Vance
put the community which he
represented here. The sum which
Massachusetts would receive under
the present bill was only 100000,
while North Carolina would get over
81 100000. He did not say this by
way of boast. He would not have
bad taste accompany an act of iber-
atty. Hoar then read from Vance's
speech of a few days ago, in which
reference was made to the
investigation by congress, and to
carpet bag government, and in which
Vance had said the states of the south
would help themselves if the north
would only take their hands off the
south, and that he vance, had always
had his doubts about the republican
party wanting to do anything sub
stantial for the blacks. and
so was not disappointed
now when he believed this bill would
not pass. Hoar wondered whether
there was another senator from thu
south who was willing to meet 81
generous a proposition as this bill
made, with such a slap IN the face a;
had thus been given it by the gentle
man from North Carolina. The de
bate was then adjourned.
