Music Hall was crowded to ia utmost capacity to witness a spelling match between fifty bovs. atlected from the higher school* of the city, and fifty editor*, n-porters, profeaaivr* and typos, selected from the various new spa|wr*. in an old-fashioued spelling. The rontest was spirited throughout, and finally narrowed down to one OH each side, when a typo mis spelled "conferrable," and the match was awarded to the boys. There would be no harm in having this mania for spelling matches spread all over the country, and continue. The contest offers the best and most exciting amusement and has a highly instructive tendency, aud we should like to see these spelling matches started in t Vntre county. PHII.A UELPHIASS IS THE LEU IS LA Tl RE. Hit* Philadelphia delegation in the legislature. a- a general thing, in made up of the curbstone politicians of that city, and the "Columbian" draws a cor rect picture of it when it says that the cliar acter of the delegation aeut to the Leg islature hv Philadelphia is au insult to all the Mate. They are ignorant, riuie. ill-bred ami boisterous, ami are constant ly guilty of want of decent reapect for authority or fc.r the body of which they ..re member*. There may be some who are a partial exception to this general description of them, hot such is the character of the delegation. They would like to he dictatorial if they knew enough, but, failing in that for want of brains, they attempt to substitute impu dence and blackguardism as a means to role. No wonder, therefore, that the county members so often act as a unit against Philadelphia interests, ami no wonder that what ought to be the great centennial commands no interest and scarcely respect from the people of the Once all this was different. Altlua gh some awn of indifferent character then crept into the legislature from Philadel phia, both the old city and county were sure to send some first cla* men to rule their delegations. Now the associates and equals of the "flying dutchman," of "slippery Jim," of the "educated hog," Ac., give character to and perhaps oom poee the delegation. bight the people of the State to regard this conduct of Philadelphia otherwise than a* an insult to them? They at least try to send de cent men, who lrnvc regard for god names, and who behave in public at any rate with ordinary propriety, but Phila delphia leavens the whole with her edu cated hogs—educated in vulgarity if not in letters —and thus brings the whole body into disrepute and contempt. The country does right in rescntiugthia state of affairs, and it will be to its own inter est and credit if it cultivates hatred for a city that acts thus towards it. APPRO PR J A TIOS BILLS.

This w a-a uew doctrine -approv inn ol the action of the President in enforcing the law# of the United State.-. Sup}*** he did enforce the law ; it n> hi* -worn duty to do so. Those who voted for this resolution voted, in effect, that Kellogg was the lawfhl Governor of Louisiana, ami that the Legislature which elected Pinctiback was the legal Legislature ol the State. How any man not helieviuf Kellogg to U> Governor, ami not believ ing the Legislature which elected Pinch liack to lie the legal Legislature of the State,conhl vote for the resolution, was beyond his comprehension. Some ol the Senators on the other sile might think that it would elect the next I'resi dent, but he (Thurnan) thought it the thinnest gruel ever |ourc*l down the throat of a sick patient. Mr. Cluiatiancy said he understood the substitute offered lv the Seuator from Rhode Island, first, as an implied recognition of the Kellogg government, merely as one in the actual exercise ol governmental powers in lamisiana, with out reference to the questiou of its right ful origin or legal validity, and in no way involving the propriety of its establish ment ; second, that it approve- of the President's action, so far only as dire*-ted merely to the protection of that govern ment and the people of the State again-t domestic violence and civil w :r, and to the enforcement of the laws of the Uni ted States, without approving any inter ference of the military with a legislative body or in the creation of a State govern ment. Such being, as it seems to me, the most natural and obvious sens*- ol the language, and the sense in which it w ill be most naturally understood by the people; while I adhere to the principles and conclusions which I announced here in my remark- on the l.th in-t., and which t here adopt by reference, with out retraction or ipialiticalion .and while I hold that a recognition by the Senate, or by Congress, of a government thus in itiated, can give it no greater validity than it had in it-inception ; still, as do mestic violence ami civil war, which may lead to a complete dissolution of so ciety, arc not the lest remedies for get ting rid of even an illegitimate govern ment, I cau approve the action of the President directed to the humane pur poses mentioned in this amendment or substitute offered by the senator from Rhode Island ; and, believing the recog nition of this government, for this pur pose and to this extent, is justifiable un der the peculiar circumstance* now ex isting in that State, until by u fair elec tion a more legitimate government can be initiated, 1 i-an vote for the resolution in the sense 1 have here attribute! to it. But, in the enlarged and odious sense which has been attributed to it by' some of the speakers on the other aide, I could not vote for it: and I most deliberately avow my conviction that, in such an en large*! sense, ami in any sense which would assert the validity of the action by which that government was originally set up and put in power, it could not se cure the votes of a majority of this body. Mr. Whyte mollified his amendment, offered yesterday, so as to read : "Rnutted, That the use of the army of the United States to enforce the unwar rantable and void order of Judge Ihirell, issued on the sth of December, 1872, di recting the Marshal to seize the building occupied as a State House for the as sembling of the Legislature of Louisiana, and the employment of United States soldier* to invade the hall of the House of Representatives of latuisiami and to eject therefrom person- claiming to l>e members thereof, are contrary to ti.. •pirit of republican institutions and can not lie approved by the Senate of the United States."

Will you state what was her religi on* character. A. She had a very exal ted religious character, a highly spiritual ised religious charaoter, and the chief element of her rallgiou* character was love.

Madam; 1 you have answered the question. The witness does not speak of blindness 1 to a husband's fault#; that is often the ef ' feet of love; hut she testifies that she. "would make statement* not truthful' 1 in regard to them, and although untruthful in , this respect she had a "very exalted reli gious character," "a highly spiritualized religion- character.' - Whenever such self-delusion n this is put forth, let it he met with just rebuke. Truthful net# i at the basis of ail good, character, and to talk of a highly religious person making "untruthftil statements,"; is a contradiction in terms.

A NEW STORY OF TIIE CREATION. llie Hesult of Mr. George Smith's Attempt to Decipher the ChalJaicj Account uf the Creation aueport comet to strengthen or to weaken t the Mosaic history as recorded in the Bible! of the same great events. Mr Smith, al tar giving an account of the discovery of , the tablets, says that w hen complete they must have numbered nine or ten, and that j the history as reeor led on them of what® occurred "in the beginning" was much longer and fuller than the corn-.pending report in the Book ofOenesis. He contin vie* at follows: "Tha narrative of the Assyrian tablet*! commence* with a description of the period 1 1 before the world was created, when there existed a chaoa or confusion. The deto-i lata and empty date of the universe and 'the generation by chaos of monster* are! vividly given. The chaos is presided uveri bv a female power named Tisalat and Tiainat, corresponding to tbo Thalallh of lierosus; but a* it proceeds that Assyrian - account agree* lather with the Bible than with thashort account from Berosus. We are told, in the inscriptions, of the fall of the celeatial being who appears to corre •pond lo Satan. In his ambition he raise* his hand against the sanctuary of the God et heaven, and the description of him is really magnificent He is represented riding in a chariot through celestial space, surrounded by the sternt*, with the light ning playing before him and wielding a thunderbolt era weapon. "This rebellion leads to a war in heaven j and the conquest of the powers of evil, the good* in due course creating the universe in steges. as in the Mosaic narrative sur veying eacli step of the work and pro nouncing it geou. The divine work cul minates in the creation of man. who i: made upright and tree from evil, nnU en dowed by tbo god* with the nohle faculty 1 of speech. "Tito DeifY then delivers a leng address 'to the newly-created being, instructing >him in alt bis duties and privileges, ana pointing out the glory of the state. But this condition ef blessing does net last long before man. yielding lo temptation, fails and the Deity then pronounce* unen him a terrible eni-e invoking on his head all the *vils which have since afflicted human!- ' ty. Tbt-s-I in details are upon the frag ment which I excavated during my find' journey lo Assyria "I have at present recovered no more oli , ! thc atory, nnd am not yet in n poaitton to 3ive the translations and detail; but I hope uring the spring to tind time to search I over the collection of (mailer fragment* of lahlct*. nnd to light upon any amnller part* of ike legend* which may have es caped me.
