A BZedloy.
Trie editor of tho llepubliean lias n
queer way of mixing things. Last
wcok, In a brief article, ho censured us
for using room In tho Court House,
while our offlco Is being repaired. The
room teas not in use ami tee pay the
county for it. Tho fling conies with an
111 graco frowa our cotemporary. Somo
months ago when that press broke
down wo loaned them ours without a
question. Now, ns a return, it tries to
Induce a feeling to got us turned out of
doors, whllo wo nro repairing our bull
ding.
In tho samo article lie goes out of his
way to call Senator IJcnJamln a "Jew"
n "pcrjuied wretch," etc. General
Grant onca made a lling at Tho Jews,
but had tho good tonso afterwards to
retract It. Further along In this med
ley, the brilliant d octor says:
"The Democracy of Now York city
'.ww. '.wire olectrd to Congress an. Wish
man who has served a term 'in tho pen
itentiary for burglary, a brutal prizo
lighter, and tho proprietor of two in
ferual gambling lieuscs. We prefer the
Louisiana iiffgro to cither of tho nbovo
described cattle."
Having insulted the Jews, tho Iriih
are then mado an object of attack. Of
courso there Is not a word of truth In
tho allegation that a Now York Demo
cratlc Congressman over served In the
Penitentiary, nnd Ignoranco or mnlico
alono prompted tho author.
Wo had rnther'bo one of tho "cattle"
referred to.thnn Beast Hutler, or Hang-
man Ulngham, or any of that ilk. As
to tho negro Congressman from Louis!
ana, we nro not surprised nt the Doctor's
sudden Iovo for him. For weeks past
Ills paper lias teemed with editorials in
favor of negro equality and negro suff
rage, until finally 'lie has deserted his
own sanetuary to listen to the elo
quonco of his "colored brother," who
lias eomo to reform this neighborhood.
It turns out that It Is tho publishers
of Tho Galaxy who havo bccurod that
greatest of tho year's literary prlzos
tlio new serial story, by Charles Iteado,
for which tho popular author, It is said,
Is to rccelvo fifty thousand dollars, from

Tho newstory will be commenced early

chased tho advance shoots of the new

among its stars, Tho Qalaxy promises
to slilno brilliantly during tho coming

In view of the fact,
as announced in your paper, that
Bloomsburg is to havo a scries of lec
tures during tho winter, I would sug
gest that tho gentlemen who havo the
matter in hand should ndd somewhat
to tho programmo as already set forth.
If it bo possible let Mr. Murdoch or Mr.
Vandenhoir, or both, give us somo of
the delightful readings, for which they
uro so well andfavorably known. These
readings nro moro Interesting than
tlio loi.Jorlty of lectures Tlio rendi
tion of Shakspearo's plays far exceeds
tho acting of them in theatres, where,
almost Invariably, the "star" actor's
part Is tlio only one to which Justice ie
done, tho minor parts being intrusted
to Inferior actors, whoso badly concei
ved nnd moro badly executed charac
ters do much to detract from tho inter
est of tlio whole. Headings will nt
tiact moro young people than tho moro
formal lectures, and will do mora to in
struct them in tho wonderful powernnd
compass of tho human voico. To such
rare exi ellenco havo Murdoch and Van
denhoir attained, that under their mag
ic inllucneo the most thread-bare tales
assumon now aspect, and tlio glorious
productions of Shakspearo and moro
modern writers attain yet greater beau
ty and strength. By nil means lot us
havo tho readings.

SENATE l'UOCEEDINO.S.
The Senate to day was mainly occu
pied with eulogies of tho lato Thad.
Stevens. There were four speeches, of
which his career and character were tho
text; threo wero n;o forma, thoso of
Cameron, Bucknluw, and Morrill, com
ing, of courso, from tho Senators of Mr.
Stevens's adopted nnd nativo States re
spectively; ono was Ua gratia from Mr.
Sumner, and mny bo well attributed,
from Its contents, to as much of desire
to celebrate tho speaker ns tho person
spoken of. Tho addresses wero each
different Camera n's was a slmplo biog
raphy; Mr. Bucknlow's wns such a
criticism ns would deoorvo, had Thad.
been a mnn of grace, to bo published in
The H'or W'sketclics of leading preach
ers; Mr. Morrill's was it worthy pane
gyric, and Mr. Sumner's u revamping
nnd rcglorlflcatiou of all tho Radical
principles Mr. Stevens and ho profess
ed. That of Mr. Cameron escapes re
mark by being merely tiio reproduction
of tho article lu tho encyclopedia. Mr.
Buckalow mado a very scholarly, can
did, nnd thorough analysis of Stevens'
character, In which, though there was
nought set down lu mallco, nelthor was
there aught extenuated. Ho rebuked
Mr. Stevens's uuscrupulousnoss of
means, hlsdcfianco of public morality ;
and the best ho could say of him was
that ho would bo remembered as u man
of caustic wit, a sound lawyer, and a
shrewd, cruol, arrogant politician,
Theso few words fall to do Justlco to
ono of tho most analytical and pointed
estlmntes of character over presontod
to a public body. Mr. Morrill only In
dulged in a lengthy ascription which
would havo fitted any truly loll Radi
cal who would find fault at tho stako
for tho under-cooking of a heretic. Mr.
Sumner saw tho occasion piled high
with egotism, so ho roso high with tho
occasion. Ho glorified all which Mr
Sumner and Mr, Stevens had done, or
attoinptcd over sinco elthor had boon a
somebody, nnd travelled out of tho
path to declare, his superfluous admiru
tion of Mr. Stovens' horoio services In
impeachment, giving a side-wlpo at
thoso weak enough to thwart: it. At
ths closo of his molango of 'dogmatism,
didactics, and dltch-watoi', tho Senato
adjourned. There wai considerable
feeling among Henderson, rrollngliuy
eii, Ferryi and the moro senslblo Rad
icals, at Sumner's Hinging the dirt .of
