Jpige David Davis, United Slates
iT,""l,'uw ."v, ,
ate on Tuesday of List week on the army j
appropriation bill, and although his j
siM'eou oct -e,pieu omy iwem v mmmes. ne
aid all that can te said against the use
of troops at the tolls, and infinitely more
than Coupling in his subsequent bloody
shirt harangue, occupying three ltours
and overtlowintr witli malice and hatred
towards the Southern ieople, could weak
en or destroy. Judjje lavis, unlike
I'.laiue and C'onklincr, does no speak with
; view to extort applause from the gal
leries by ir.dulprimr in well studied and
extravagant declamation, but addresses
his audience with all the calmness and
deliberation of a Jud,'e iu delivering his
charge to a jury. His speech lias at
tracted wide at tention and received de
servedly favoiable comment from the
le;iditi;jr papers of the country, and we
propose to lay a few extracts from it be
fore our readers. In referring to the
sixth section of the bill, which contains
the repealing clause and is the point in
controversy, he says :
'Tin- ?ixth etion of t!jf appropriation hill pro
t osp-. t -TriWe from l..aii -ec-tiens the wunl.J ". r to
L'l p the pei.op ;it tie- polls." hu-1 nethine mor.', sn

p.i-M .1 when a loriiii.lablc civil war was in pro-irv.--.
t.ixiiiK to the utmost tb resources ol the
country. "
And again, in speaking of the instinct
ive feeling of opposition experienced by
every riurht-minded man against all and
everything which interferes with the
freedom of elections and the sanctity of
the ballot -bo ji, he said :
"it Is no new thinif in time of peaco to repeal a I
1 1.1 j a-sc .! in time of war. Im!i-el. no wise state- '
man w.ll lo -ltate to .lo it it the law be unsuitable

bo!t r.telcr the protection of the bay. .n'-'.."'
A few days before Judge Davis ad
dressed the ."senate, l'.laine. in comdudimr
his sjieech against the bill, summoned
the !'i;-t .,f Abraham Lincoln, who ;
siia-d the original tiill in Febrmiry. :
lsc,.-,. -,o the side of Mr. Hayes to protest
against his giving it his approval. Mr.
J 'avis was the warm and intimate per
sona! friend of Abraham Lincoln for ,
lii.uiy years before lie became i'resiilent. ;
and after his death was one of the ad-mini-iratorsoi
his est ate. lie knew Mr.
Lincoln much betterthan it was possible
for Hi, tine ever b have known him. and
his judgment of what Mr. Lincoln's ae
t t -a Would be if lie were IioW in Mr.

partance. It embraces in its operations
the most extensive railway system in the ,
j world, and represents much more than ;
' ntie-t-ighth of the entire mileage of the j
: whole country. In its stocks and londs j
i large array "of investors are deeply in- ',
terested, as well in this country as in ;
Kurope. Any improvement in its flnan
: cial condition or di ninution of its usual ;
' revenues, closely retlect the prosjerity or :
i depression d' general trade. !
i Its reports, therefore, as they arepub
; lished front year to year, are of great j
! significance, and, like those of the weath- j
er from Wash ngton, indicate either I
, clear or cloudy weather to the holders of ,
' its securities, and to our merchants and
financiers. In the annual report for the
hist fiscal year, recently published in
pamphlet form, all of these classes may ;
iind much to encourage and nothing to
. excite undue apprehensions for the pres- ,
j ent or the future. Without giving in
i detail the long rows of figures, which
are full and complete, the result arrived i
at for lTs is that after meeting all cur- j
' rent obligations, keeping the entire pro-
: perty in good condition, and making a ,
i large reduction in the floating debt, a j
semi-annual dividend of two per cent..
' has been paid, and another and larger
, one honestly earned. This, in view of ;
' the extremely low rates imposed for a i
large proportion of railway service dur- ,
ing the period of transition from inflation
; to a specie basis, and the special disasters
to which ortions of
11 lame
ail way i
systems have been sunjeetetl by sucii
1 events as have characterized the past
few ycais. is not only satisfactory, but
' to afl parties interested must prove a
t Very agreeable surprise,
j Hut behind this exhibit of receipts, cx
i ponses and profits, there are other points
no less encouraging ami instructive.
: Necessity may be a severe, but it is also
a good teacher, and one of the important
lessons furnished by the statistics of the
report is that the Pennsylvania road can
make money even when the industrial
exigencies reipiire the .adoption of ex
ceptionally low rates on a large portion
of its trailic, and that a very slight ad-
' vance in remuneration would insure as
; large dividends as could reasonably be
desired or expected. This has been ef
; fected by rigid economy in the working
expenses, combined with, the mainte
: nance of a high standard.in everything
ti lating to the condition of the track
and equipment, and efficiency in the
loans of operating.
The conditio i of tho lines west "of
Pittsburg has also been, to a greater or
1. ss extent, a sourer of apprehension,
.but in these for IsTS there was a fain
over IsTT of f-.'io.!! H.-J-n and a profit of
I c71t!..2o.07. the deiieit in 177 having
amounted to 1 1 4. -PJS.41. These rail
roads were, therefore, not merely instru
mental in bringing to the main line and
its branches an enormous amount of
' traiiie. but were in themselves a source
; of profit.
Tims it will he seen that the Company,
after fully providing for all liabilities in
curred, inhaiicing the value of i'seqti.p-
ments. maintaining all its lines in p-r-l'eel

Lowe, Loran and l oyalty.
The Washington Star of the 20th ult.
imblishes a card from Representative
Lowe, of Alabama, which says :
In the R'.priblican of the 21st Int. TTon.
John A. Logan lias a communication in re
gard to an interview between Mr. Luther,
the correspondent of the Boston GUth?, and
myself, which interview had been published
in the Pittsburg 7'of. In that communica
tion Senator Logan uses, in reference to my
self, the following extraordinary language :
I nn-ferscind that Colonel I.owc claim that this
1 not a correct report of what he aiil to the report
er. If not he shouhl correct the statement an.1
matte the reporter responsible for pnttmir a lie into
hi" month. The statement I branl as false an.l
slan-terous anl Clone! Lowe an,1 the reporter can
eettle the .-uestion between themfelTs as to which
one has been sruiltT of perpet ratine thif villainous
faNehooJ. Very respectfully. John A. Ijwas.
X'poti reading this language I sent Senator
Logan the following note :
W.tsni"r.T..v. I. (t.. -Jtst April. 1179. Hon. John
A. Ioifan. Washincton. f. C. Sir; In the Rt pub

In raisinirtriM.ps for t ho" .nfcicrate army in Istl.
Yon hat been informe.t that th interview pub'.ish
e.l in the I'ont w is incorrect. In that interview I
sai.l substantially that there were two or three
companies frliiti Illinois in theConfe.leratcservire:
that I ha.l talked with one of the officers, an.l some
of the men. and they sai.l they were enli'e.t to
constitute part of O-eneral Lee-an' eommanl in
the Confederate army : that such reperts were cur
rent In my pection: tiiat I had never heard any de
nial of f hem : that if they were tni eft-en era 1 I,oiran,
If asked upon the floor of ;the Senate, could not
deny, but miirut, perhaps., evade a direct answer.
Thi beine the substance of my statement in said
interview 1 desire to know whether, in your com
munication to the R;u''!iran this m.o'ninif. you
a; piv"r!ie w.-r.Is "liibe and slanderous" t., me.
' Kesj.ectlully. W. M. Ix.wk.
This will be handed to you by inr friend I'hnrles
relham. Ksq. W. M. I.
This note'was delivered by Judge relham
to Senator Logan, at his city residenee, on
the morning of the L'-d hist.
Mr. Lowe then savs that, receiving no re-
ply, he caused another note of a similar tenor
to he delivered to senator jogan personally
in the vestibule of the Senate Chamber, oh
the afternoon of April 24. This also having
failed, he says, to elicit a reply he sent, on
the afternoon of the next day, a communica
tion, of which ttie following is a copy :
W'AsmvnToi. 1). C, April i'.. 187. The Hon.
John A. I.oiran Sir: On tho am instant you
published n the Htpnoiitcn, of this city, a commu
nication containing W'.r.ls persotiaiiy rctleetir.i'

; I'.-Ihain, Ks.p, is authorized to :et for me in tho
I jiremi-ic-!. liu.-jieetfully, W. M. Ln.
j Colonel Lowe then concludes his card as
I follows : "Thus ended this one-sided corres-
poiidence, which explains itself. It needs
j little or no comment from nie. I will not
j brand John A. Loiran as a liar, for lie is a
Senator of ttie I'nited Mates. I will not post
him as a scoundrel and a poltroon, for that
would be in violation of the local statutes.
IS tit I do publish him as one who knows how
: to insult, but not how- to satisfy a Gentleman
and I invoke upon him the judgment of the
j community."
The charges against "senator Logan o
i offensively reiterated by Colonel Lowe
stand ujHin such a basis of proof that
. they cannot be put aside by a simple de
nial. Colonol Lowe assumes the respon-
. sibility for the publication and substan
tially confirms the correctness of tin in
terview with Mr. Luther, who is the
' Washington eorresixindont of Tiik T'k
'it!. and whoso word is as pood as any
man's in either t he House or the Senate.
We think Colonel Lowe has made a mis
take in sending a challenge. If he feels
bloodthirsty he should pull Logan's nose
on t he steps of the ( 'apitol. There is no
glory to be out out of a shooting match
ami precious little satisfaction. I'ftiln

say, at the Presidential election of lt-so.
Tin y have dei !arev! that the only man
in their party iii for the Presidency is
Mr. ('ram. and that the Union cries for
him as children in the patent medicine
putTs cry for pastilles. Their vehement
opposition four years ago to a Third
Term having been converted into acjui
escence. silent or enthusiastic, it is evi
dent tliat in 1-1 they will be even more
warmly in favor of Mr. 'rant for a
Fourth Term, ami that in lvss there
will not be a shadow of opjMsition tohis
renomination for a Fifth' Term, and so
on, so long as the ex-President holdsout
to run. Suppose, then, that li h parties
agree that t he elect ion of lsst) shall be
i!omed conclusive till ltioo, and thai if
the successful candidate dies before the '
end of the century the Presidency shall
pass in remainder to the heirs male of
liis body lawfully begotten V The future '
will b" rendered char and certain, and
we shall be saved the periodica! worry
and ( x;'nse of Presidential elections.--Neitlur
party can object to this. If
('rant is the man the nation desires it
cannot have too much of (irant: if it
( docs not want him ami so declares at t he
polls that will be the end of the matter.
If this country is to remain a democratic
republic lot us be speedily assured of the
fact : if it is to become an empire the
transition will le more easy and natural

An unusually warm summer is pre- :

thermometer of the observatory of that j
city. These observations show, he says,
that a gn at heat wave comes upon the :
earth without presumably from the sun j
about every eleven years : and it ap- 1
pears tliat ttie next heat-wave may lie j
expected in the summer of this year, i

j A special Pittsburgh dispatch to the j
! Philadelphia Turn, dated April -2-th. 1
i says: At Leechhurg.'on the Monongahe
1 la. a mile or so above Lock No. :t. stands
! a little shanty which for some time was
' without a tenant. A few weeks ago a
man named James Heed took his fibode
; there without loave'or license. Nobody
knew anything of him. No one cared
! to know. He lived very quietly and
spoke to no one. Yesterdav John Wil-
i liams, a neighbor, was passing bis door, j
i Heed called him in and shut the door. :
' Then he seized a bar of iron and beat i
; Williams over the head, leaving him for
. dead. Two men passing the shanty j
heard, groans and ntered. Williams' ;
skull was fractured and brains oozed out j
from the wounds. He was taken up in
a dy ing condition. H ed was soon af- i
terwar.ls arresied and brought to this j
city. Some -people think him hi-ane.
1 Others say that he sought revenge for a i
fancied or real wrong.

yt ;irs iiiro next July, snys the O.tciethor'-e
"((ot.) J'h", there w;is h;iiehei in tliis
sect itn a feinale eliirk. With the excen
tioii of the usual advt ntiin s with hawks
ami owls, tliis interesting fowl reaelied
ly lien, ana not only prov
pood source of e-js, but sat m and
hatched live litters of chicks and one of
geese, from which feat she waskimwn in
the neighborhood as the "goslinir hen."'
Rast February, however, a marked
change was fibserved in the subject of
this sketch. 1'irst, the roosters ceased
to worship at her shrine. A change was
also observed in her general bearing,
she assuming decidedly masculine airs
crowing with the voice ami tone of ;v
thoroughbred chanticleer; spurs com -
inenced to grow from her heels ; the tail
feathers Migthened and curved ; lier
comb grew in length, and now this re--
markable fowl has develojK'd into a full-
fledged rooster. It is now on exhibition
at Burrows'.
