Wholly Adsorbed. Tho wodding
at the Whito House has been tho all
absorbing topio in "government" cir-
cles tbe past week. Everything else
was dead for the limo boinc. Mies
Xollio Grant aged 19, daugbtor of tho
Presidont, was married to Mr. A. C

tinuos:
"However, nobody feels snri. th.t ihf will be

There is only one remedy for this and that le to

which the Constitution permits."
Sumner's Idol. Tho United States
Senate, aftor remaining in session all
of Friday night, on Saturday morning
passed Sumnor'B Civil Eights Bill, by
a vote of 29 to 1U. This body has
plenty of timo to talk about and vote
for regulating common school and
other questions of a local and State
character, but scorns to bo soroly
pressed for timo to dobato or vote for
Bomothing relating to the currency
and business of tbe nation. What a
blessing it would bo, if Congressmen
would attend to thoir legitimate basi-
noss and lot that of otbor people alono
Gen. Porter. Aftor much unneces
sary delay it looks now ai though this
brave soldier would ere long be granted
another trial. At tho meeting of tbo
6th army corps at Harrisburg on Tuos-
day week, resolutions woro adopted,
and a strong momorial drawn to the
President, asking a ro-oponing of the
caso of General Fits John Porter.
The memorial will bo extensively
signed and forwarded at an early day.
.To resist those strong appeals any
longer will argue that tho Presidont

most meritorious officers of tho army

Death of Gem. Hartsuff. Major
Goneral Goorgo L. Ilartsun died in
Now York, on Friday, of pneumonia,
aged 44. IIo arrivod at Now York
on tbe 9th Inst., on his way to attend
the Army ro-union at Harrisburg,
when be was strickon by the discaso
which caused bis death. Gen. Ilart
Bnff, was born in Sonoca county, N.
Y., on May 28, 1830, He graduated
at West Point, and then sorvod as
Lientonant in the Texas and Florida
wars. In tho latter he was wounded
in the lung, and the bullet remained
in bis cbHt until ho died, lie served
with distinction in tho early part of
the war for tbe Union,until the wounds
he rocoived at Antietarn compolled his
temporary retirmont from active ser
vice. He was roturnod to active duly
in Tonnossoo in 180.1, but his Infirmi
ties, tbo result of his wounds, again
causod bis retirement, and ho was sub
sequently employed in bureau service
On the surrender of Petersburg be

partment of the Nottoway, and when
be was retired from this command the
citizens of Petersburg presentod him
with resolutions exprossivo of thoir es

rowarded by rapid promotion In tbe
regular army during tho latlor years
of his life. Hia promotion to a full

Tho following cxcollont article on
modern statesmanship wo clip from
tho Philadelphia Press, ond it, ah woli
as an articlo In the Tribune, roads a
littlo like rovolution in tho "loyal"
oamp. This thing of Radical journal
ists tolling tho truth about Southorn
affairs, is beginning to nttruot somo
atlontion, and will ultimately result
in somo good to tho country. Tho
editor of tbe Tress romarks :
Great crises demand groat brains.
Ordinary rules, ovon aoeoptod systoins,
and sometimes constitutions, ofton
nrovo woak before novel crimos.
S'ostorday it was South Caroliua that
onmo to Washington with a flagrant
case of corruption on tho ono hand
and suffering on tho otbor. But tho
caso was sol asido because thoro was
no romody. Tho mniority was loyal
tho minority disloyal ; and tho lattor
had no right to growl if thoir own
crood of State rights turnod thorn out
of court. To-day it is Arkansas, wlicro
to use tho norvous Innguago of the
Now York Tribune, this picturo is tho
truth
Brooks and Baiter scum tu be almost equally
unworthy or the nlae for which tho vicissitudes
of an inorodibly eorruptand disgraceful condition
of polities have made them the rival oln'imants.
There was at one time a general leaning of de
cent pouplo toward Mr. Brooke not because he
was a better man than hie adversary, but because
ho hannoncd to have been eloeted, which wo be
lieve was thu only llilug lu him fevor. As tho
diinnU went on it beeame clear that Brooks had
attempted to enforce his claims by unlawful, if
not disnonost, use or tne interior oouris, wniio
Baxter bad law on his side, though he might not
have equity, and so all tho country turned against
Mr. Brooks just as it had previously turnod
against bis rival. The Legielature cannot bo
trustod to repair tbe mischief wrought by the Ex
ecutive; for the Legislature committed a gross
fraud for the purpose of putting Mr. Baxtor into
power. And finally there is no hope In the courts,
for they have proved tbemsolves aa bad as the
oilier branches ot toe government.
A Philadelphia eontloman, a lio-
Sublicnn of high standing, just in from
ow Orleans, gives a deplorablo ao-
count ot tbo condition ot tilings
Louisiana. Thoro sooms to bo no
srovornmont worthy of rosnect, no con
ndonce among tho pooplo, no harmony,
and no business, and now, to crown
all, come the floods to intensify tho
political and financial situation.
Tho partisan excuso for all those
misfortunos, except tho last, is doublo
edgod it cuts both ways. Ono side
charges it to tho rebellion, and to tho
obduracy ot the Uonteclorato leaders.
The other, to tho icooraoco of the
blacks, and to the incapacity, and
worse of tho carpct-bncp-ors. "Let
tho rebels suffor, is tho cry of tho
last. "They mado all this troublo,and
now thoy must swallow tneir own
poison." Moanwhilo tbo "rebels"
gather sympathy for ovils that aro
hardly defended by anybody, and
modoro statesmanship folds its bands
and can find no remedy for increasing
ruin.
Tho caso is onethatdomandsspcody
action. It is pitiful to see it postponed
because Bomobody must be punisbod
that has been in the robellion, and
somebody must be protected that was
acainstthe robolllon. Meanwhile the
whole country surTors, not as tho plun
dered people of both races in the South
aro suffering, in person and ostato, but
in a crushing sense of evils without
euro, of wrongs that defy all law.

Hon. ?... Wallace,
With tho adjournment of the Logis
laluro, tho senatorial term of lion
William A. Wullaco, of Clearfield, cx
nircd. Mr. Wallaco has been tfinem
Lor of tho Senate for twelve years and
one of tho nblost and safest Senators
in that body. He has, in fact, been
loader for tbo creator portion of lb
timo, and in bis retirement tho State
will lose the services of ono of bcr best
men. On the last day of tho session
of the Sonato, Mr. Wallaco dolivercd
tbe following dignified and appropri
a to little speech

Fatal Accident. Mr. John Komick
and brothor were at work in a field on
a sido hill noar Milllinburir on Friday
afternoon lost. They had gone thoro
with A two horso loam with tho waeon
loadod with potatoes and had locked
tbo wagon, unhitched tho horses and
woro working thorn. A six year old
daugtber of John Jiornlck, a baby, and
two boys of his brother, commenced
playing in tho wagon. Aftor some
timo, the lock of the wagon bcramo
loosened, and the wagon started down,

out without injury ; but tho others ro-
mainod in. Tho wagon in its down

fence, which turnod it upsido down

Sllml Schools
Evon Parson Brownlow, than whom
thoso days of liadiculism havo soon no
more blgotod partisan, protestsagainst
thoso features of tbo Civil Eights Hill
which abolish all distinctions of color
in public schools. In a roeontly pub
lished loiter bo gives his views on this
subject nt length. Ho says:
lly position on this quostion is tho
result of mnturo deliberation. ItboB
tbo approval of my judgment and con
science, nnd sooner than apologia lor
it or rooedo from it I would soo evory
political organization in the land "go
tbo way of Ward's ducks," and ovory
politician buriod without hope or ros
surrcction. My only hopo for tho future pros
pority of tho colorod people of Tonnes-
soo consists in tho behalf that tho mass
of thorn will ropudiato tho abominablo
programmo so insolently put forth at
Naslivillo, Let them rcmombcr that
thoy now havo, in soparato schools,
equal oducationul facilities wilh tho
whites. Let them remember that the
taxes with which thoso schools aro
supported aro contributed almost ex
clusively by tho whito pooplo of tho
State that tho money does not como
from tho Federal Government ot n ash
inglon. Let thorn rcmombcr that
thousands of tho proporty-holdors of
tho Stnto, ot tho political parly lo
which thoy nro in opposition, luivo aid
ed in establishing our present school
system, and without tho support of
this cIubs, in co-oporation with thoir
wuite political associates, it could not
havo boon established.
Let them also remember that it
not a question as to whether wo will
havo mixed schools, but whothor we
shall havo any system of public in
struction at nil. lor it is not In tbo
powor of party Congrosso lo establish
this mixed school system in ienncs-
soo.
If tho Civil flights Bill should pass
without tuo mixed school lcaturcs bo
ing stricken out, tho wholo school fab
rio in Tennessee will at onco full to tho
ground, ns it will deservo to do. Then
tho expenses of tho education of their
children, it they aro educated at all,
will bo'borno by tbomsolvos, and not
by tho white pcoplo, as thoy now nro
An Ex-Secretary Prevaricates.
Senator lioutwcll has at last appeared
before tho Ways and .Means Uommlt
too. As might havo been expected ho
pload not guilty. Ho makes a qus-
tion ol veracity with banborn and ro
pudiates tho alleged conversations with
referenco to tho contracts. IIo relied
upon tho Solicitor of tho Treasury, ho
says, and pleads ignornnco of tho char
acter of tho contincts. To a largo
majority ol tho pcoplo who nro ae
customod to weigh testimony this ex
planation will not bo satisfactory.
Much of tho ovidonco which boars hard
against tho cx-Socrelary conies from
parties who could havo no motivo In
implicating him. Ho, on tho other
band, can not bo considered a disin
terested witness. Ho has tho most
powerful motivos for exonerating him
self, and if thoso motivos swayed his
iudgmont, clouded his memory and
involved hi in in some moral confusion
in regard to what is truo and what is
not truo, it is not tho first iustunco of
tbe kind on record. AVo aro not dis
posed to pass final judgment on the
caso, but wo must slinro the opinion
which will likely obtain, among sensi
ble pooplo, that tho cx-Socrotary has
by no moans cleared himself of the
cimii'u uf crlininnl nouliminco or n cur
rupt connivance in a shameful trans
action.

Lkoiblativk Astuteness Proba
bly tho "worst that was over soon"
was tho dodgo by which tho luto Lcgis
laturo of Pennsylvania passed special
laws for Philadelphia. Doing pro
hibited by tho now Constitution from
finBsing "spocial laws," they passed
aws for "cities of over 300,000 inhab
itants," and as thoro is only ono of
this class Philadelphia they woro
in effect special acU of legislation,
though not coming within constltn
tional prohibition. c have yet to
hoar of a body of men surpassing tho
Inst Ijogislaluro in that son ot astulo
noss which is not to bo distinguished
from knuvory.
Some Difference. A Naples lax
colloctor was recently arrested nnd
tried for absconding wilh $200,(100,
and was acquitted cn thogrounds that
tho monoy belonged to tho pcoplo, nnd
as ho was ono of tho people ho was
part owner ol it, nnd it would be ab
surd to punish a man for stealing what
belonged to him. hen a lax eollec
tor in this country steals such an
amount ho goes unpunished for the
simpto reason that n man with 1200
000 in his pocket is too much of c
gcntlomnn to bo annoyed and fotlerod
by legal absurdities intended lor small
thieves only.
