The House of Representatives on Thursday
by unanimous vote unseated Mr.. Mayo of
the Accomac. Virginia district, and seated
Judge Garrison. Mr.. Mayo is a readjuster,
and received the certificate of election from
Gov. Cameron. The committee on elections,
after looking into the facts, without regard to
party signed report unseating Mayo, and
Recommending that Judge Garrison, Demo
crat be sworn in. This report the House
adopted after listening to speech in defence
of his own right by Mr.. Mayo, but which failed
to convince single member. Mr.. Jno. 5.
Wise spoke in favor of Mayo's claim, but did
not vote for him.

A Tammany politician, speaking of Mr..
Tilden and the Presidency, said to the New
York correspondent of the Philadelphia Led
ger: "Granting that the old gentleman is far
from being robust, what of that, as long as
his intellectual faculties are unimpaired? 1t
is his mind that the country wants, rather
than his body. The National Convention is
not in pursuit of Samson or Hercules, nor
giant, but a man that represents a great
principle-that is, the principle of honest
elections-and as Mr.. Tilden is the embodi-
ment of that principle, it matters but little
whether lie is i'll or well, his denomination is
essential for its vindication. Then again, see
what magnificent platform the old man has
laid down, (quoting,l reform should be the
issue. After misrule for twenty years the
people will stand by it. The party has its
salvation in its own hands, if it but take ad-
vantage of it. A public man that talks in this
way may be severely indisposed for the pur-
poses of those who want to crowd him off the
track, but he is well enough for me, and well
enough for the country. So far as the New
York Democracy are concerned, you may
safely say, there is but one aspiration, for the
time being, and that is the denomination of
the old ticket -

a Bin rhat Should Not Pass.

| Congress has bill before it that should not
pass. The bill appropriates for the first year
SIS 200, 600, the second year $14 900, 900, the
third year $1S, 900, 900, and so on for ten
years, decreasing 81, 900, 600 yearly, to be ex-.
| pended for common school education, the
expenditure in each State to be on the basis
of illiteracy; the money to be paid by the
| United States in the first instance to the
treasurers of the respective States, or such
other agents as the States may designate, the
Secretary of the Interior to have charge of
the portion going to the Territories. The
bill asserts the object to be not to establish an
independent system of schools, but simply to
aid in the maintenance of the State schools,
and provides that no part Of the money appro-
priated by the bill shall be paid out in any
State which shall not, during the first five
years of the operation Of the act, annually
expend for common schools at least one-third
the sum allotted to it by the bill, and during
the second five years sum equal to the whole
amount it shall be entitled to receive under
the act. One-tenth of the moneys paid to
the States may be expended in training teach
ers.
There are several objections to the bill.
First, Congress has no authority to thus ap-
propriate public money. Had Congress levied
taxes for legitimate purposes only, there would
have been no surplus out of which this appro-
priation could be paid. Second, if the money
is to be given to the States, it should not be
conditioned upon the States raising any spe-
cifc amount, but absolute. Third, there
should be no provision for the training of
teachers.
While the expenditure of this money would
be of great benefit to the country, yet the pre-
cedent established by the measure might be
dangerous. 1t has been proposed to put the
educational interests under government con-
troll, but the proposal was so strenuously OPP
posed that it was dropped. Now comes a
bill that looks fair and would be advantageous,
but it might be an entering wedge for en-
croachments upon the rights of the States.
The government vaults are loaded with
money, for which the government has no use,
and every day the amount is being augmented.
If Congress really desires to help the cause
of education, let the money be apportioned to
the States without any conditions, to be used
as the States deem best Let it be given at
once, and not doled out over period OF
fifteen years.

The Baltimore Sun of Saturday replies to
recent article in the ADVOCATE, and says that
it never advocated the abolition Of the tax on
commissions; that it favors such tax, but
advocates a reduction of commissions. The
ADVOCATE regrets that it placed the Sun in
false position. 1t was unintentional, and the
impression was gathered from hasty glance
at its editorial columns and Annapolis cores
pondence. The Sun plead guilty to favoring
the abolition of the marriage license, or rather
large reduction, and as the Legislature has
reduced it to sixty cents that journal is much
gratified and believes that body has taken one
long stride towards reform.
