Loyal Utterances ot a Southern Union
1st The Need ol Such Representatives.
There was delivered yesterday In tue House
of Representatives a speech which sounds
more pleasant to our ears than any of the
flowery oratory or bitter Invective which has
filled the Halls of Congress since the session
opened. It was the eflbit of Hon. Samuel
McKee, member from the Ninth District of
Kentucky, who spoke with the true ring of
unmitigated, unadulterated loyalty, and re
buked in no chosen words the treason and de
ception continually practised by the Southern
members. Coming as he does from a State
where the Rebel element is so dominant, as
to be endeavoring to secure the return and
re-election ot John C. Breckinridge to the
United States Senate.wemust congratulate him
on bis free outspoken utterances against trea
Bon,lavery and all who sympathize with their
fate or followers. In the course of his re
marks he was continually interrupted by bis
colleagues, and it was one continual battle
against all the influence of his State to utter
what he deemed right. The sentiments he
uttered had such a true ring of loyalty about
them that we quote from the despatch the
substance ot his remarks : '
"Mr. McKeb held that as slavery had bson Iped
out, the Constitution needed amendment, but
this is demed by those who were opposed 10
levinflr ar. and who said wo hint no rlhtto
call out troops to crush treason. Those who we.-?
in favor ol amending th3 Constitution wermuet
by those Rentlomen with tho cry of usurpation,
because Itepreseniatlves from cr-uelllousi Slates
were not now admitted to tin floor; out who sent
the Southern Representatives from this hall?
They departed of their on accord, ttouv out
one 'by ore, and State by State. They pickod up
their hats and walked out in dissrusi. l'hey
wanted no part in tho Ivsislaturo of the nat on,
and said ihev never would come back. He
thanked G d they weie not now here. He did
not desire to see the day when a traitor could
ask to como buck, aud have the same risrht as
those iv ho upheld our banner iu tho rteld. The
pending amendment did not go as far as he de
sired. He shouid like one saying that no man
who had raised hi3 hand against the tiaz should
ever participate in oar legislation; but it was
not probable that in this he would te rjrat tied.
He wanted to legislate for the whole, and not a
part of .he conntrv. It did not appear to his
mind that the Southern people are in condition
to be represented iu larpe number."
In the old Biblical story of the destruction
of Sodom, we are. told that the presence of
ten righteous men would have saved tho city.
So now in our modern times, if thpre be found
but ten such men as Mr. McKee there is hope
of the future resurrection oi the South. The
need and absolute necessity oi such men is not
appreciated by the late Rebel population.
They are still tightly bound to their Idols, and
aie asking us to let them alone. That we do
so la because there exists an element, and we
londly hope a powerful element, of which Mr.
McKee Is a good representative, a lair type.
Men who have been true to the Union, who
have worked tor the Union, and perchance I
have fought for our cause.
To. desert such men would be the height of
national baseness. We therefore stand forth,
and again and again urge upon the Southern
masses the propriety of exhibiting that spirit
of loyalty which alone can gain their read
mission Into Congress. They must have been
convinced ere now of the utter futility of
their hopes of being able to burst into tho
halls of legislation and repeat again the exhi
bition so successfully enacted in 1800, to
secure by arrogance and insolence what they
gould not clpim on the ground of merit. The
firm and unrelenting attitude ofthe Union
party must have had the effect of tearing the
scales horn their eyes. We now again urge
them to listen to such sentiments as those of
Mr. McKee, adopt them as their own, and
they will And that those wuo are to-day most
bitter against their readmission will be the
first to welcome them as brethren, repentant
and parXloned,
Our Sanitaiy Condition.
The rapid approach ot spring reminds us ot
the necessity of making provision for the
healthful condition of our city during the
summer months. , We are too much in the
bablt of waiting until the pestilence Is upon
us before we make the proper arrangement to
meet the ravages of the iell destroyer. The
migratory character of the cholera Is a strong
argument in favor of moving in this matter at
an early moment. We concede the tact that
It is impossible to absolutely avoid the curse,
but the intensity of the epidemic may be re
duced by precautionary measures. We should
see that our very admirable quarantine
arrangements are strictly carried out , But
much greater importance should be attached
to the cleansing of our streets and . alleys.
Immense amounts of garbage have been col
lecting ior months In the by-ways of the city,
which, although innoxious at present, will be
breeding places of malaria when the dog-star
rages. It is the duty of Councils to see to the
removal of all disease-generating matter as
early in the spring as possible. The money
spent in this way will not be lost. It may
save us trom the attack ot the pestilence, and
spare many valuable lives. Our city legisla
tors spend much of their time In discussing
matters of minor importance. Let them give
some little attention to the conditio! of our
BtreeU, and, if there is necessity for "'it spend
some of the public money in this behalf.
The FreedmenV Unman Dill -The Pcw
Bill and Its Provision. ;
The Senate passed on Thursday, by nearly a
four-fifths vote the bill for the continuance and
enlargement of tho Freodmen's Bureau. The
bill is in eight sections, the substance of each
provides:1 ,
Section 1. Original act to continue in force;
President to establish twelve or less districts,
with an Assistant Commissioner for each.
Section 2. The Commissioner to assign sub
districts, with one agent to each. 4
Section 3. fcecretary of War may direct
such issues of provisions, clothing, fuel, etc.,
for refugees and frcedmon, as he deems
needful. '
Section 4. President may reserve for freed
mcn and refugees 3,000.000 acres of unoccu
pied land in Florida, Mississippi, and Arkan
sas, which the Commissioner of tho Bureau
shall allot in 40-acre parcels. ,
Section 5. Titles to Sea Islands, etc., under
Sherman's order, confirmed for three years.
Section 6. Commissioner shall purchase
lands required for support of dependent freed
men and refugees, and build asylums and
schools. I
Section 7. Where rights of labor, of con
tract, equal benefit of laws, etc., are denied to
freedmen, the President shall extend military
jurisdiction and jurisprudence for their pro
tection. Section 8. Whoever subjects any freedman
to slavery or involuntary. servitude, except as
punishment lor crime, or discriminates between
white and black in penalties, shall be punched
by fine of $ 1000, and one year's imprisonment.
The passage of this bill Is a direct rebuke
to the recommendations of the Southern Gov
ernors, and to those who are arguing in favor of
an accomplished restoration of good feeling and
civil authority in the late Rebel States. With
the single exception of tho extremely trifling
punishment for the sale of a human being, in the
eighth section, the whole is admirable, and
will meet the warmest approval of all human
loving and Justice-seeking citizens. .
The High School and Common Coun
cil. It is amusing to " read the discussion ot
the motion to defeat the High School appro
priation in Common Council, but to listen to
It was positively ridiculous. The unique
grammar and the original rules of syntax
fol'owed by the sagps who favor the discon
tinuance oi the school, afforded the best an
swer to th arguments, and made tho specta
tor earnestly wish that some such institution,
or some primary school, could bo truthfully
termed the Alma Mater of the speaker
To hear a man give as an unanswerable argu
ment against the institution, that "they were
not educated at the nigh School," Is somewhat
ludicrous. Yet such Is the strain ot oratory
pursued by the opponents of the appropria
tion. Mr. Simpson stated as a powerful reason
iniavor of his motion, that "We tax the
peoplo to give them an equal system of edu
cation, but only about lour per cent, oi tho
pupils can be educated in the High School
Of thoee educated there, seventy per, cent,
were drones upon tho cotnmualty." , All
af which would be very conclusive, if it
was not controverted by facts. Mr. Han
cock, another knight in the anti-High School
livery, favored the compulsory attendance at
school of every child until it rcachs a certain
age. Their attendance, according to what he
mid, and possibly what he meant, begins at
birth, and continues until they attain, say
fifteen years. This sounds something like the
public lsws of the days of Cotton Mather.
and witchcraft, and is about as legal as the
burning of Reformers or the expulsion ot
Quakers. Several other orators uttered burn
ing words against the school, and used argu
ments as conclusive as those we have quoted.
But we are glad to see that the institution had
Iriends who were not silent. Abla and power
ful addresses were mado by Messrs. Willits,
Fbanciscub, and Taylor, while a really
conclusive answer to all the opposition was
lurnithed by Mr. R. M. Evans, who deserves
praise for the clearness of his style and the
cogency of his arguments. The vote on the
motion, 18 to 25, is entirely too close for tho
friends ot the H gh School to rest in supine
indifference, and it becomes the Alumni at
their next meeting to take steps to protect
their institution from the attacks of ignorance
and bigotry. (
The Supplies for the City Commlssioucjs.
The proposals for blanks, books, and stationery
tor the coming year are now in the hands of tho
City Commissioner?. It is to bo hoped tint par
ticular pains will be taken to see that; these
aiticles aie procured at reasonable, or even
muiket prices. For tome years past theae con
tracts have been mines of wealth to certain
parties, and the city has suffered from tho extor
tionate prices paid for them. The contract is a
large one, and should attract tho attention of
stationers to such an extent as to make tho thing
an object to all engaeed in the trade. Our sta
tionery cofts us every year eutirely too much.
It may seem to be a small leakage, but when all
the apertures are discovered tho Treasury will
be iound to be e sort of cullender through which
a vast quantity of the city's finances can e-cape.
It is very well to commence at the small end and
work up gradually to the larger escape pipes.
The proposal to carefully Inquire into these
singular disappearances of public moneys can
result in no harm, aud muy be productive of
much good.
The following communication relative to tho
supplies of the City Commissioners explains
liself. The schedule attached shows the bids for
the contract for the year 1865:

JO OAS CONSUMERS.
We would call your attention to a
NEW OAS REGULATOR,
INVENTED BT
;dr. chas. m. cresson,
(Tate Managing Engineer of the Philadelphia Gas
Works;, possessing GREAT DEMCAcY of adjustment,
by the use ot a peculiar form of ra ve and gas holder,
governing socurately a single light, with a espaaity to
pass gas enough tor the full number of lights, and tbe
ability within the Instrument itself, to Increase the
ptessnre, when tlie greater quantity of gas Is requited.
Among tlie peculiar advantages of this Regulator,
that make It preferable to instruments of mors con
tracted size, which require the use of MPBCURT or
FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGMS, the following deserve
especial notice :
FIB-T The tree motion ot the Regulating Valve
through considerable space, gives It grea er delicacy ol
adjustment, and a wider range of consumption in a
single Instrument, than is possible with other forms.
SECOND-! he fluid seal et GLYCtRINE used in this
REGCLATOB, avoids the dangers resulting in other
forms, from the unwholesome vapors of Mercury,
which, passing off with the Gas, are disseminated
throughout the rooms in which it is burned, subjecting
tbe occupants TO ALL THE DELETERIOUS EFFECTS
OF MKRCt'RY upon tbe human system, and especia ly
upon tbe LUNG ' und SKIN, when It is thus diffused as U
vapor. The accidental overflow of Mercury from .hsie
mercurial 6oals bas often injured vsluab.e Gas Me. era,
the cost of which has necessarily been charged to the
consumer.
Wbeie tbe use of MEBCTJRT in regu'ators Is avoided
by tbe substitution of a FLEXIBLE DIAPHRAGM, the
resulting dliBculiloa are also numerous! one Is tne lia
bility to LfAKiUE and EXPLOSION OF GAS: an
other, tbe loss ct Flexibility and consequent inefficiency
by age and exposure to cold, and thudly, tbe Inherent
vice of want ot delicacy of adjujttnont, and range of
action.
To remedy these faults, the "CRESSON REGULA
TOR" was invented, and wherever Introduced It has
given tbe greatest satisfaction, always producing
steady light ann regular consumption, with a saving ot
irom TWENTY to THIRTY Per Cent in amount of gas
consumed.
. LETTERS PATENT have been granted tor tula Regu
lator, both In the UNITED STATES and In ENGLAND.
It Is manufactured by the
"AMERICAN METER COMPANY,"
Of NEW YORK, PHILADELPHIA, and BOSTON, for
ns alone, and tor sale, Wholesale and Retail, at our ware
bouses In this city, where all ordcis and letters should be
addressed. ,
The following Is an extract Irom the Journal of the
FRANKLIN, INSTITUTE, dated October 18, 186J:- "An
experimental trial was then mado as to tho quantity of
gns confimed by the burners when under rega'atlonto
their maximum economy, aud also the amount consumed
by the same burners when subjected to the ordinary
variations of street pressure. ' - .
"Ohe result showed tbat with the Regulator, there
was unlforn ly 78 cubic feet ot gas per hour consumed,
being an average of 3 7-10 ouble feet per burner Whilst
without tbe Regulator the same burners consumed
from 10S o 140 cubic feet per hour, the average being 126
cubic feet, or 6 feet per hour to each burner ' -
