The New York TWs thinks that Mr.
Kerr's avowed hard money view, had much
to do with his unmiuation .or Speaker and
that the fact 'indicates that the largest sec
lion of the majority in the uext House
klands committed against the linaucial he
resies adopted by their party in Ohio, Penn
sylvania and elsewhere. The financial
views of the Speaker Lave a direct bearing
ujton the character of the legislation which
will vi promoted by the Democrats this
w inter. It may fairly he assumed that the
leading committee will be so constituted by j piactj m
Mr, Kerr that all projects for taking 'steps i y,,,. wn
t-ackwaiQ' tn tuc legislation providing tor
the icdcinptiou of the legal tender uotes
be quietly oppressed in the committee
room. This will uot only tend to give a
new sense of security to business men, but
K will be a isitive gain t'i the credit of the
nation.'
There seems to be a steady Seeline in the
Oruer of Patrousof Husbaudry, out West.
The rural members arc coming to the con
clusion that anvbere and somehow they
arc b..iug spouged to death. It has Jnst
come to light, in Iowa, that one man and
his wife hare been paid for pretended servi
ces, by the State national Granges, since
1S73, nearly 9,000, and that at the same
time he was drawing a regular salary in
otter business. If the order will weed out
the sidewalk farmers and bloodsuckers who
iufest it, aud confine itself to its legitimate
province, keeping out of the snares of
politicians, it will deserve to thrive. But
nwt else.
Nearly five hundred bills, representing
an aggregate of upwards of thirty million
dollars, have been introduced iu the pres
ent 2)emocraiic House of Representatives
to teimburse ex-rebels for their losses dur
ing the war. In view of this fact it is a
pertinent inquiry whether the greatest
stride towards retrenchment, and the pun
tication of our politics as well, at this junc
ture, would not be the adoption of a con
stitutional amendment forever prohibiting
the payment of another dollar ont of the
Trery upon any war claim whatsoever.
Carefcl inquiry has developed the fact
that in England und in this country, there
is a decrease in the deaths caused by drunk-
ounces, both by individual restraint and
an improvement of yeueial morality, owing
to the deeper impressions of the moral
obligations of temperance. There seems
to be a more general understanding of the
tttriious effect of stimulants upou the ner
o'ts system, even when inebriety stops

Hence it would Appear that the best way
to overcome this evil is in this directiou.

Any reference now-a-days to the "past his

a-iie confusion, excitement aud incidents,
consequent upou any public occasion were
visibly noticable on inauguration day in
this city.
The Legislature lias made considerable
progress wiihiu the last ten days, quite a
number of bills having passed second read

number is the oui relating to the State

"Tieasury Kill."
A bill eimiliar lo the present one had
passed two readings during the session of
167o, but like many more met its fate on
the final passage, aud the absurdity iu
not passing it caused an opening wide of
eyes among trm members when they came
to draw their saleries, and were informed'
"no funds."
The determination appears then to have
seized the maj ority of the members that
a like repetition should not occur, for short

a bill covering ail former blundering legis

The debate ou Amnesty

to light the true feelings of the Southern
Democracy, and shows that Stale rights

as taught by John C. Calhoun, is the main
policy of the Democratic party. The six-

Cnstitntion il, for the Constitution makes
no tuenliou of these facts, therefore it is
the unwritten law, aud the Constitution
allows it. This argument reminds one of
a story told by Mr. Townsend, of New
York, iu debate last week. An Irishmau,
baviug made some money, concluded to
buy a horse. After the purchase a friend
said to him "Pat, has your horse got the
glanders ?M "The glanders," said Pat,
"what's that ?" The friend replied, "nev
er mind what it is, has he got the glan
ders ?" Pat, studying a short time, re
plied, "If the glanders will make the horse
any better, be sure he has them, but if it
makes him auy worse, he hasn:t got them
at all, at all." So it is with these fellows,
if it suits their purpose it is all eight, if
not, rice vcrsn.

The main and almost the only argu
ment made by Judge ('rump, who had the
bill in charge, aud other Democrats who
favored il, was the capitul to be made for
Democratic party iu the coming Presiden
tial campafgu. You have not space for
more than a few extracts. Judge Crump
said "the disgusting exhibition being
made in the halls of Congress, aud the
venomous speech of Rlainc has beeu for uo
other put pose than to tire the Northern
heart in order to foist upon the country
for a third term the man of a wooden
head, iron hand and marble heart, who
has so loug trampled upon the liberties of
the South." His peroration closed thus;
"Rekt assured, the day will come when
Constitutional principles, as our fathers
understood them, will triumph and prevail
throughout the laud."
Judge Cecil, of Tazewell county, said in
opposition to lit bill that we should have
nothing to do with it, "because the Con
federacy in uot free, and wc ate Grant's
slaves." Extra Kill Smith, who was a
prominent candidate lor the United States
Senate before the legislature, boasted that
lie "was an unreconstructed rebel," and
further said, "auy oue who abuses and
slauders Jeffersou Davis, abuses aud slan

the Confederate flag." This utterance was
greeted with the wilJest applause by the
galleries, and was with difficulty suppress

THE WKAT1IEK.
The city is thankful for the cool change
that came this week. Fog, rain, and fever-breeding
weather were just mak
ing ready for a host of small epidemics.
The ice meu were sick with hope deferred
for there were no signs favorable for their
annual ice-crop, and o.OOO men were wail
iug for work to begin at the great icc-hoitscs
up river. There- was little need of inva
lids going to Florida. Hut tho north-west
wind brought clear and bracing weather
that makes life a luxury. While the warm
unfavorable weeks, the season is far from
being an unhealthy one, the death rate for
the week being considerable isss thau the
corresponding oue las?t wiuti r. After the

The motions of Plymouth Church may be
called eratic, if uothing harsher, Its lat
performance, after snubbing the idea of a
mutual council, was lo summon Mr. Bow
cu, editor of the hulfixmhrit, V a Church
meeting to hear grivances agaiust him.
His two sons were allowed with him, on
sutlerancc, but the su-nographer he brought
was promptly turned out. But the repor
ter made good use of his time while he
did stay, aud took down the debate word
for word, and quietly took satisfaction
in putting the report into next morning's
papers, where it didn't read creditably lo
the fairness or older of private Plymouth
Church proceedings. After all, the charge
against Mr. Koweu was that when a church
demanded that he should tell nil that he
knew about the Reecher matter, he refused
lo say any thiug good or bad about it. The
shrewd, long-witted Bowen knew what
would exasperate the swivel tongued breth
ern, and did it, by keeping his mouth shut
He turned the tables ou the meeting last
night by taking ground thatthe church
summoned him to hear charges and receive
advice, not to answer, aud tho Bowen
mouth closed like adament agaia. The
silent is the strongest in the quarrel.
MOODY AND SAX KEY
Barnum'a Hippodrome, where Jersey
and Vermont girls rode Roman chariot
races last winter, and Gihnore's Brass
Band made everybody thirsty enough to
drink oceaus of beer, last summer, is now
converted into a tabernacle for Moody and
Sankeyr great meetings iu February.
Seats for 7.U0U cover the saw-dust, and a
choir of 700 from difierent church choirs
will lead the siuging. The vast building
has been divided up into rooms for various
purposes. Besides the vast autorium for
the regular meetings, there are four very
large rooms for inquirers, rooms for preach
ers' meetings, rooms for classes, and rooms
for classes, and rooms lor every purpose.
The money for all this has been furnished
by wealthy religious people in the city,
who are determined to make soma head
against the depravity that rules the city,
aud is running it. One liquor seller, who
has one of the most popular bars in the
city, subscribed, and actually paid 1,000
to ths fund for the Moody meeting!. When
asked why he paid hi" money to a cause
that was iu direst coutlict with his business
he answered that he had real estate, the
income from which was greater than the
profits from his bar. That the demorali
zation of the city, the vice aud crime that
made New York an undesirable plaeo to
live in, was hurting his laigest interests.
"If theic howlers kin stop that kind of a
thiug." said he, "they are doing me
the best turn thsy kin !" Not a very
Christian reason but an exceedingly prac
tical one. But when you come to revival
ists, there are two in the city who deserve
toore encouragement than they are sretlini;
f mVYEIl AXD MC'CALLEY
Arc two brands suatched from the burning
that is, oue' was a miserable drunkard
md the other was a prize-fighter. They
ere converted, aud both felt called up'u
to do something for the people they had
formerly knowu. So they take lofts or eel
la-s, just as they can, down in Water and
Viindam streets, and tbey hold set vices
among the lowest and most wretched peo
ple in the city. They are mobbed, and
huitled, and despitefully used iu all sort
of ways, but they stick to it with the zeal
jf martyrs, and are actually accomplishing
something. They have not together small
ougregations in both those streets, aud
davc actually induced a larjre number of
men and women to tiy a better life. They
work without pay, happy when the well
incliued givo them enoujh to get kerosene
to light up their rooms. Men willing to
labor for humauity where they do, deserve
better cucouragement than they have re
ceived or are likely to.
THE Bt feIXES OUT-I.OOK
Is just as bad as ever. Last week there
were forty-six failures, sonic of them very
large. One jewelry house went up with li
abilities to the amonnt of f-JOO.UOO, with
over $700,000 worth of goods iu there store
j that is goods that had cost them that
amount. Ihis ?fiHJ,tH.Hj worth of goods
cannot be sold to day for one-fourtli ihuir
cost, for the reason that ouly very few are
buying jewelry, and that few can buy the
best in the world, of individuals, at half the
prices they can of dealers. A diamoud
never gets to be second-handed, aud the
people who huv them arc all willing enough
to realize ou them, in the hope of holding
ou till the belter times come. If any of
your readers want SJ.000 cashmere shawl
or a 210,000 diamond, they will do well to
strike in now. 1 would buy a duzen or
two myself, but for reasons.

Are you all coming to tho Centennial ?
The railroads running into New York have
decided to rediiee the fare so that the peo
ple may come to New York first, and sen
the metropolis as well as the great show at
Philadelphia. The hotel keepers hold a
meeting next week, but whether it is to re
duce the rales or decide how much addi
tion skinuing the people will stand. I don't
know.- Probably the latter. For a hotel
keeper in this city never had a conscience,
and very little business sense.

"success is never achieved without merit.
A man may make a poor Tticle and sell it
once, and "there being 4i),000,0()O in the
United States, the sale to each one would
be enough to make a decent fortune. But
an article that holds the tield year after
year, and tho sales of which increase reiru
larly and rapidly, must have absolute
merit.
