STIM/ no vote on the Tenure of of
fice bill, and, as a consequence, no ap
pointments of any consequence. It is
simply cruel in the President to keep
the Bread-and-Butter Brigade "hang
ing on the tender-hooka of suspense;"
but then, Mr. Grant isa stubborn man,
a man of determined character, who
having adopted an idea holds on to it
with the tenacity of an English bull
terrier. Thus far there is not the
slightest evidence of a disposition on
his part to let go his hold uj>on the
throat of the Radical party. He has
made a sure thing of it, he thinks, and
thinking thus, is, in dog-pit vernacu
lar, "lying down to it and chawing at
leisure." Cruel Grant.
YAMI EE modesty is truly astonish
iug. Especially is this the ease with
radical and overbearing Massachusetts.
Not satisfied with Boutwell and Hoar
in the cabinet—with having control of
the most important committees in Con
gress, and with forcing the appoint
ment of J. Latbrop Motley, as minis
ter to England, like Oliver Twist, she
still cries for "more." She w ants the
Grecian mission, and a hundred other
things. Massachusetts will want as
long as a crumb is left to fall from the
Presidential table. When will the
people set to work to restrain the
greedyism of fanatical New England?
THE Inquirer does not say a word,
pro or con, on the nomination of Gen.
Longstreet, by Grant, to an important
office in New Orleans. Why is this?
If Johnson had made a similar ap
pointment, all the radical crew would
have set up a hideous howl at the in
sult to "loilty." Is this Grant's meth
od of "punishing traitors and making
t reason odious?" But then, we forget.
The ex-rebel is a relative. That covers
a "multitude of sins." We venture to
say that if Jeff. Davis were a relative
of the great Grant family he would
get a foreign mission at once.
NEW YORK and Philadelphia pa
pers are discussing the question of the
respective honesty and morality of the
New York and Pennsylvania legisla
tures. As they are both Radical, and
therefore both naturally corrupt and
dishonest, a toss of a copper would de
cide the question as well as the most
that upon the points named it is six
with one and half a dozen with the
other. Both are rotten to the core.
JOHN COVODE, it is stated, has been
admitted to Ills seat, during the con
test. This is about as unblushing a
case of fraud as ever was perpetrated
upon a free people. Gen. Foster was
clearly elected. But it seems that all
that is necessary in any district where
a Radical has been defeated, is to go to
Congress and contest the seat. These
outrages will continue as long as the
Radicals find it necessary to hold the
two-thirds power.
GRANT'S arbitrary attempt to cancel
the pardons granted by President John
son, has, like his attempt to run the
Government machine himself, brought
him to grief. His new Attorney Gen
eral decided against his right to do
anything of the kind, and, as a conse
quence, the pardoned men have had
their pardons restored to them by the
United States Marshal.
THE editor of the Inquirer sees an
"increased Republican majority" in
the late New Hampshire election,
when in fact the majority is altout one
half what it was for Grant. What
queer eyes the fellow must have.
THE ratification of the Fifteenth
amendment, which passed the Senate,
at Ilarrisburg, some time ago, still
hangs fire in the House. The subject
will be taken up in a few days, when,
of course, the Radicals will ratify.
HOME innocent Republicans assert
they want to give the negro a vote for
the purpose of putting him out of poli
tics. Some people think this is about
the easiest way of putting him in.
NOTHING valuable has recently been
drawn in Grant's gift enterprise. Reas
on— the refusal to repeal the tenure of
office bill.
TIIK Legislature having abolished
the Lycoming judicial district, intends
trying its hand next at blotting out
counties.
The President informed the .Senate
on Friday last, that he had approved
and signed the bijl for the further se
curity of equal rights in the District of
Columbia. It is, therefore, a law, and
is as follows:
Be it enacted, <fcc., That the word
"white," wherever it occurs in the
laws relating to the District of Colum
bia, or in the charters or ordinances of
the cities of Washington and George
town, and operates as a limitation on
the right of any elector of such District,
or pf either of the cities, to hold any
office, or to be selected and to serve as
a juror, be and the same is hereby re
pealed ; and it shall Ire unlawful for
any person or officer to enforce or at
tempt to enforce, such limitation after
the passage of this act.
WHEN radical editors assert that the
"question of negro suffrage is being
submitted to the people of the loyal
States in the shape of the Fifteenth
Amendment," they assert tlint which
is most palpably false. If they were
not the most hardened political sinners
that ever cumbered the earth, the very
thought would cause them to blush
with shame. The question is not sub
mitted to the people, but to legisla
tures elected by the people, who were
distinctly told at the time that thi*
question teas not an isrne. To assume,
now that in demanding the ratifica
tion of the Fifteenth Amendment by
the legislatures is submission of the
question of negro suffrage to the people
requires an effrontary that a band of
free hooters might well envy. It is a
fraud and a cheat unparalleled.
"MAC," the Washington correspon
dent of the Cincinnati Enquirer , charac
terizes President Grant as "the small
est great man of the century," and a
inong other proofs relates the fact that
on the "day before the inauguration
President Johnson wrote a note to the
incoming President inviting him to
ride with him to the Capitol." To this
Grant did not even condescend to re
ply. The public will remember that in
the accounts of the late inauguration
proceedings particular pains were ta
ken to note the fact that President
Johnson did not participate. Here is
the reason for his absence. Such is
Grant.
"SUSPENSION," said Senator Sher
man, in his argument for the uncon
ditional repeal of the Tenure of Office
act, "would be an acknowledgment
that the law was wrong." That is
precisely what it is. Nothing more
nor less. It was conceived in wrong,
has accomplished nothing but wrong,
and it is only a perpetuation of a wrong
to allow it to stand on the statute
book.
BECAUSE the Sultan of Turkey has
given to the widow of his late Grand
Vizier a pension of $15,000 a year, in
gold, it is argued that Congress should
imitate the Sultan's liberality and
give Mrs. Lincoln a pension of at least
$5,000 a year. Real Radical logic that,
but good enough to suit pension pur
poses.
ANOTHER INDIAN WAR.— Our In
dian policy, as it is called, is showing
effects in Alaska already, The Rus
sians as long as they owned and aecu
pied that country were at peace with
the aborigines ;_the moment the more
difficulty and bloodshed occur. Both
i our army and navy are involved in
the matter, and according to the late
dispatches, after some tiring and kill
ing, a chief was captured. So we have
a new fleld for Indian wars, expensive
to the government and lucrative to the
white Indian ring. A dispatch says a
good deal of bad feeling exists between
these Indians and the military. Their
villages are remote from the sea, and
men-of-war cannot get near enough to
shell them. This latter fact can hard
ly be regretted, as it is most probable
that the bad feeling originates with
the antipathies of the military. It is
an abominable thought that we have
only extended our dominion to the
North Pole as a means of butchering
the miserable people who have built
their huts around it for the last thous
and years. Let Secretary Borie and
Secretary Rawlins look into the mat
ter.— Bait. Sun.

MEPICAL COMMENCEMENT.
Thro' the kindness of a member of the
Institution, we were favored with a
ticket to the commencement of the
Medical Department of the University
of Pa., on the 13th inst., held in the
Academy of Music. Our ticket admit
ted us to the Parquet, where we had a
fine opportunity of seeing and hearing.
All who have been in the Academy of
music on such an occasion, will at once
recall the grand aud brilliaut scene.
We may call it a crowd, even in such a
place; and every face, beaming with
pleasure and interest, seemed to be set
toward some attractive point. The
eyes of the one hundred and thirty
graduates, we know, very often dwelt
anxiously on the huge pile of boquets
and flower baskets on the stage, won
dering who is to get them, and if her
name was on any of them. The Ger
mania Orchestra discoursed divinely as
they can. The Stage was tilled with
men of note of every profession ; and
amid the blazing of lights, altbo' it
was mid-day, and the brilliant array of
fashion and beauty, crowding that im
mense building, it was an occasion of
great interest, and such as the young
gentlemen who were doctored and bo
quelted will not soon forget. Prayer
was offered by the Rev. I)r. Krauth, in
clerical robes; after which the degrees
were conferred by the Provost. As
this ceremony was done iu Latin we
took it for granted that it was done
right. Then came the Valedictory by
Prof. Stille, and one that ought to be
put iu permanent form and become the
"Vade Mecum" of every Medical Stu
dent. It was brilliant as well as logi
cal, and brought down the house. His
argument for tiie Esculapian Art in its
humane and scientific development was
just and conclusive; and the way he
handled the naked knife against Em
piricism would have created astonish
ment in the dissecting r< cm. ihe last,
act was the distribution of boquets to
the graduates, aud which, no doubt,
was exceedingly interesting to about
one hundred and thirty young ladies in
the assembly. The delicate compli
ment was, we will suppose, returned in
a pleasing way in the evening ; and
tender memories of "the girls they left
behind," will start a gentle throb now
and then as they go thro' life, uutil
they chance to find along its rugged
path a single flower more sweet than all
thereat. Good-bye, girls! Vale, Doc
tores !
"OLD ZioN's."
It will interest some of your readers
| to hear of the demolition of Zion's
; Lutheran Church, on Fourth and Cher
j ry. It has served its time, and now
gives place to the business demands of
i the age. This church is more than one
| hundred years old; arid at the time it
| was built, 1776, was the largest and
finest structure of that kind in North
j America. Ten years after it was oc
cupied by the British army as a hospi
tal and suffered much injury. Added
; . j eoij lui-ci, <t Cte.JHUVH
fire left nothing but the walls; but it
was soon refitted again and re-dedica
! ted. The Obsequies commemorative
of the death of Wa-hington were held
in this church, in 1799. The congrega
tion was a very large one, and estab
lished several branches in other parts
of the city. The pressure of business
forced them to sell it, and a new church,
' of brown sandstone, is being built on
Franklin, below Vine, on the site of
' their old burial ground. I should have
; stated that this was a German Luther
■ an Church. The present pastor is Dr.
! Mann. Members of this church may
I be found in almost every German com
• munity, it being the mother of thous
ands of spiritual children.
SENSATIONAL PRKACHING, AC.
The present generation, we imagine,
| has gotten very far from the good old
Apostolic ruts. When Paul preached
at Athens, the peoples' ears itched for
something new, some political novel
ty, or sensational touch ; and were as
tonished and indignant to hear of Jesus
and the Resurrection. Now Paul
would hardly get a "call" to some
churches here. We have too many
Athenians who want their ears tickled
with funny sayings, and he couldn't do
that. But such ecclesiastical monstrosi
ties turn up occasionally, and cater to
the depraved taste and mawkish senti
ment of such, until the church is filled
with laughter or resounds with ap
plause. AI! kinds of queer texts and
theatric notices are advertised in order
to draw a crowd. One fellow announ
ces that he will preach on the "Blues
another on "Secrets," and so on. One
church advertises, "good music;" and
another that "no subscriptions will tie
taken to-day, only a basket collection."
; All this in one issue of a daily. What
a wide departure from the simplicity
jof the pure ago! No wonder the mul
: titudedo evil when hifalutin, mounte
bankism and operatic musiego fortruth
and Gospel. Talmadge, the latest ago
ny, goes to Brooklyn to run a tilt with
Beecher. The prayer of the saints this
side of New England is that he may
always stay there.
THE OLP GREEN FLAG.
j "Saint Patrick's day in the morning" j
j dawns bright and beautiful over head,
; the augury, we hope, of a better day
I for that stricken land—The Emerald I
Isle. The patron saint is toberemem- '
| bered with more than ordinary demon
strations. The Fenian Brotherhood, |
The Hibernia, the Celtic and other or
ders will "drown the Shamrock," in a I
thousand glasses, and celebrate the I
rish festival with speeches, parades, j
music and balls. A grand rally round '
the "old Green Flag" will take place '
at the National Hall under theauspices j
of the Fenian Order, and addresses will
be made by distinguished speakers. It
is a matter of congratulation that in
the last election in Great Britain the
Gladstone Administration was sustain
ed on the distinct issue of "Justice to
Ireland," and in the light of this great !
victory they can now look forward j
with brighter hope to Ireland's liberty i
through disestablishment and reform, ;
and add another and deeper tinge to
the "old green flag." The contest !
which resulted in a Parliament hostile }
to the D'lsraeli ministry, and pledged *
to the interests of those who have been
ground down and oppressed, indicates
a higher advance in Irish indepen
dence and the ultimate triumph of the
principles enunciated in "the wearing
of the green." In the name of St. Pat
rick we wish theOuld Counthry Ciiwl
speed in her noble struggle for Enfran
chisement.
SEEING THF. EDITOR.
Yes, sir, we saw him the other day,
not as we used to see him when sitting
in his sanctum with pen flying over
the paper, and each particular hair on
end, and eyes flashing; political light
ning, getting ofl" those editorials which
we always read in a cool place ; but we
spied him on Market street as we pass
ed in a street car, and accordingly wo
made for him suddenly; and fearing
lest he would be lost in the crowd, we
rushi d out of the car, and in our way
out tumbled over baskets, sent hoop
skirts flying, kicked men on the shins,
and nearly upset the conductor. We
imagine the passengers thought a po
liceman was alter us, but he was'nt.
We were after the Editor of the GA
ZETTE, and we brought him up at last
on the corner and enjoyed a brief glance
at his benign countenance. We will go
thro' as much for R sight of your be
nevolent phiz, Brother Men gel, any
day. And here is the compliment of
St. Patrick's Day to you both : that
your shadows and subscribers may in
crease. Believe me to be,

Omaha, March 18.—A telegram from
Helena, Montana, reports the Indians
again troublesome; Two men, Frank
Leonard and J. McDonald, had some
of their cattle killed by Indians, near
Yellowstone, and the entire herds driv
en off. Thirty soldiers were sent from
Fort Elies to pursue them and were at
tacked -by about seventy-five Indians.
The fight lasted one hour, and resul

The troops returned to the fort during
the night. Seven hundred soldiers and
citizens expected to start against the
Indians.
