BeIn,n,,t Chronicle.
THURSDAY. MARCH ls. 1880.

DR.. TALMAGE. the Brooklyn divine, in
his sermon on last Sunday. discourSed
on the desire of mankind to live over
again. In his opinion no one is so for
tunate in life and SO unembarrassed by
care as to wish to endure again the grind
of life. Were we permitted to retrace
our steps and enter on life again with
our knowledge of the world and men,
hope wonld not urge us forward, hope
being dead and enchantment gone.
Life would be ravished of its ZeSt and
no enthusiasm would spur us to action.
Our lives shorn of ambition, we would
drift with the current, ,impelled by time,
with the future holding nothing In
store. To correct remorseful acts in our
lives it wonld be necessary for genera
tions past to live over again. No one is
wholly responsible for even his own acts
and he alone could not correct them
Hope alone brightens life and the dim
ness of the future cOnceals the pleasure
or pain which shall meet US and relieves
us of the insane dread of evil which
would overpower us with its mighty
weight. The discourse is on a subject
of interest to all mankind and places the
much cherished wish in new and un-
desirable view.

WASHINGTON, March S.-Representa.
tives from Georgia and South Carolina
yesterday, in alluding to the abandon
ment of the proposed trip of Postmaster
General Wanamaker and party to south
ern cities, expressed the opinion that Mr..
Wanamaker has made a great mistake.
They are convinced that the party would
have been treated with great courtesy
and politeness in all parts of the south.
While the people in certain localities
have criticised the course of the post
master general in appointing negro post
masters, they would not have resented it
by showing any feeling to distinguished
party of ladies and gentlemen. They
regret that the postmaster general has
raised any such question.

THE obvious purpose of the Democ-
racy is to steal the next National House
of Representatives. In Maryland they
have so gerrymandered the State, as to
make it impossible for the Republicans
to elect but one Congressman, while in
Ohio they have passed measure by
which they intend to have the Congress
ional delegation stand six Republicans
and fifteen Democrats. Whether the
steal will be successful or not must de-
pend upon Congress, which without
question has the power to regulate the
times, manner and places of electing
Representatives in Congress.

THE United States Senate has for
more than week been engaged in a
vain effort to discover by what means
the secrets of the executive session be-
come public news. The Senate chamber,
though enclosed by thick walls and fur
nished with double doors which are
tightly fitted and securely locked, through
some avenue reveals to all the world its
supposed secret proceedings. Newspaper
correspondents have been questioned as
to the source of their information, and
likewise the Senators themselves how
closely their mouths have been shut, but
nothing has been developed, and al
though this has been done in executive
session, where extra precautions for
secrecy were used, yet each day the
press contained full accounts of the pro-
ceedings, demonstrating how utterly far
cical and imbecile are the efforts of that
august body to stifle news gatherers.
The executive session, relic of the
Council of Ten proceeding, should be
abolished, especially when no necessity
exists for its retention. In a govern
ment by the people all legislation should
be enacted in full view of the people.

River and Harbor Bill.
WASHINGTON, March 10-Col. Mer-
rill, the United States engineer in charge
of the Pittsburg district, appeared Sat
urday by invitation before the rivers and
harbors committee, and explained the
method OF building the movable dam at
Davis island, on the Ohio river, and the
use to which it is put. Col. Merrill has
recommended in his annual report, the
building of four more dams of the same
kind between Davis island and Wheel
ing, at cost of about 5000, 1000 each.
and it is probable that an appropriation
for one of these will be included in the
river and harbor bill now in course of
preparation.

this morning when the tariff bill was
taken up for consideration. Carlisle took
his seat at the foot at the Democratic
side of the table and entered into the
discussion earnestly. Senator Sherman
on opening suggested that the committee
take up the bill by paragraphs, and
either pass them as they stood IN the bill
as it passed the house or amend them.
This was agreed to, and the chemical
schedule was then gone over and thirty
eight items checked of. When the hour of

meetings was preached. Senator Sher-
man in speaking on the subject advocated
q daily session of ten hours duration in

the senate at the earliest practicable day.
This suggestion met with opposition from
both sides. Senator Voorhees, stated
the place for discussion upon the tariff
bill was in the senate. The Republican

The sculptor, II. Meicie, of Paris,
who has immortalized Lee in bronze, is a
Frenchman, who, in early life,
gave evidence of great ability.
He was scarce twenty years OF
age when he was decorated at Rome.
His famous works adorn the streets of
Paris and halls of Luxembourg palace.
He has given to the world picture OF
Lee as he appeared upon the battlefield
of Gettysburg. His face is calm and
majestic. but full OF power. The horse
which he bestrides has all four feet on
the ground, yet he appears as if in the
act of walking. A fore foot is planted
in advance, while the hind foot on the
same side seems about to follow. The
head is slightly bent to one side, while
the tail falls gracefully clear of the
TANKS. Gen. Lees dress is character
istically plain. He is girted with a
sash, which presumably hides belt,
from which swings a sword OF the COM
mander of the cavalry. He is without
epaulettes, but on the fore arm of the
coat sleeve is an ornament of broad braid.
His hat is crushed in, his right hand
while he holds the reins in the left. The
feet are well tipped in the stirrups, the
right foot being slightly in advance Of
the left.
