Tho lieptiblicans desperately in the House of Representatives to de feat the mild provision attached to the Army bill, which declares: • That no money appropriated in thi* Act is appropriated or nhall be paid for the subsistence, equipment, transporta tion, or compensation of any portion of the Army oi the United States to he used as u police force to keep the peace at the polls at any election held within any Btale." This was the compromise between Congress anil the Executive at the ex tra session, over which the Republicans rejoiced as over a victory achieved. They then taunted the Democrats with having surrendered the principle on which the prolonged contest had been made, and with accepting terms against which they had proclaimed war to the hitter end. All the Republicans but twelve voted for this amendment as their own cher ished bantling. When the same propo sition was helore the House on Tuesday they voted directly against their previ ous record, after having factiously op posed it lor days. Koine of them had decency enough to ahstuin from such an exhibition of partisan violence and un blushing inconsistency, hut leaders like Huwley, Raker, Cannon, Congor, His cock, Monroe, and others of h-ss degree, willingly stultified themselves, alter threatening a veto. The false pretence of this opposition was that the section was a "tider," and therefore ought to be resisted as irregu lar legislation. Rut this sham was soon shuttered by proof that the amendment was in the interest of economy, as pro vided by the rules, and germane to the hill itself. Mr. Huwley was particularly conspicuous and vehement in denounc ing "riders"' on appropriation hills as revolutionary and in monstrous viola tion of the Constitution. In closing the debate, Mr. Kwring ex posed Mr. Huwley'a course as a member of the Forty third Congress—one of the worst Congresses in the history of the government—when he voted for forty lour riders on appropriation bills, every one of which was political. In twelve years the Republican party mounted three hundred and eighty seven riders on the hacks of appropriation acts more thnn thirty-two every year, and that, too, when they had majorities of two thirds in (Congress, and could have passed any independent legislation they wanted. The real underlying motive of this opjiosition is that the Republicans de sire and intend to use troops at the elections this fall, and to repeat the outrages of 1876. when they were em ployed to intimidate voters in South Carolina, and Florida, and to aid in consummating a fraudulent count, if necessary. Hayes i a sul-ervient in strument of the machine leaders. He is quite willing to obey any orders they msv give. When Mr. Kvarts was sent to New York, last October, to speak in the name of the Fraudulent Administra tion and to kiss the rod that had scorn fully smitten the whole concern he bore witness to the self abasement to which he and his associates had descend ed, in order to propitiate Conkling'a good will and to he permitted to walk in the ranks of the stalwarts. The stalwart leaders were not content with this voluntary humiliation. When • Irant visited Washington, after having refused to he a guest of the White House, among the first to rush forward with professions of devotion and homage on his lips was the ower that can be brought into requisi tion to make Grant President by fores or by fraud. KXtiLIHH I.N DEFILED. Among the studies which should be thoroughly taught in every public school that of the English language holds a high position. Every scholar should be instructed ip the art of ex pressing his or her ideas in a clear, con cise, pure English, and no education should lie considered at all satisfactory which fails to give the learner this power, The end desired cannot be fully se cured by merely teaching the rules of grammar. These are good as far as they go, and should never tie omitted. Rut they need to be supplemented by a careful study of good models, and by the example of the teacher. If children are supplied with books and napers which are written in a pure and elegant style, and which are also good in their moral influence, they will insensibly be their own thoughts. Then if the teach er is always careful in the use of lan- Cage, and aids the scholar in the te uton and study of models, his pro gress will he both certain and rapid. Rut it ia not in the school alone that the education of the child ia secured. The home influence will he strong either for good or evil. In some cases it rein forces the leaaons taught at school, but it too often neutralizes them and ren ders them of little practical value. If there ia no refinement at home, if po care is taken to use pure words and pronounpe them correctly, if the rulea not only of graaamar but of common propriety are constantly violated, the child will certainly be influenced there by, and this influence will be both evil and permanent. In after life the marks of coarse surroundings, unclean speech, and improper pronunciation will be upon him, and will prove a great hin drance to hia progress, if not an impas sable harrier to success. By these means lie will lie shut out from many positions of influence and profit which in other respects lie is qualified to fill. The ability to use pure Knglisli ia of great value to ita possessor, whatever toay be hit atation in life, and should be sought by every one whoae mind ia atill in the formative stage. I'arenta ahould inaiat upon ita being taught in achool, and ahould aee to it that home influence Hnd home example arealwaya in ita favor. None are to old fo learn, but the young enn form good habits of speech much more readily than the old can break off bad once. The method* are aimple. Apply the principle* of gram mar to common converaation ami to all the writing which ia performed. It will not do to have one vocabulary for ordi nary uae, and another and much finer one for apecial occaaiona. Such a meth od will prove impracticable. If coarse word* are everuaed they will sometime* bo apoken alrnoat unconsciously. In some moment of surprise or excitement they will come out, and thua betray those who do not wish to uae thern in the presence or other*. In Love with a CongrcNMiiHn. A Congressman, talking with a Chica go Timet correspondent, give* the fol lowing experience: "I made a speech in the House which I myself considered something in the way of a hit. At any rate it received the attention and ap proval of a large number of my associ ates. That night 1 received oi> of the longest and most ardent love letters that wa* perhaps ever penned to any man. The full name of the writer was signed to it. The subscriber said that she was in the gallery when 1 made my speech, and that its influence had caused her to fall madly in love with me. She knew nothing whatever concerning ne, whether I was married or not. She was just swept away by the mad impetuosity of love kindled by iny fiery eloquence. 1 think that was the expression she used. And she placed herself at my disposal, granting in advance anything 1 might demand, for 'the small favor of loving me unchecked and unrebuked.' "W ell, unless a man ia a fool, such a note is devilish embarrassing. It is not flattering at all to a man a vanity, for 1 knew perfectly well that she was an absolute stranger to me, knew nothing about me, one way or the other, and that it was just a feminine craze, pecu liar to, perhaps, a not very strong mind, occasioned by a speech that seemed to command attention. I paid no atten tion to the matter for a day or two. The notes then began to rain in on me from her to such an extent that I made up my mind to find out who she was, at least, and acquaint her friends of Ihe fact in a quiet way, if she had any, as 1 had no iden of playing Paul to a lackadaisical Virginia. I found that 1 she was a riling lady of a very good i family, iler people live in the interior of New York. They are rich, well-to-do |>eop!e. The girl had been well brought up and well educated. "So now I KM put in a still more em barrassing position, because I could not go to these people and say that their daughter was making violent love to me, so 1 just adopted the policy of totally ignoring the whole thing. Put I have had more trouble than I ever had in my life in just trying to get rid of a woman. And 1 cannot say that I am yet clear of the matter, for I still continue to receive notes, and only this session 1 have heard through her that she h*i a rival in town, and will never renounce her pursuit of me. She says she loves me more than any one else ran, and she knows the can make me love her. She keep* up her amorous bombardments, but up to the present time the Cot.gteuMonal fort hold* firm.'' Four New Anecdotes. Belknap toll* a new story of Grant : Tbey were at the Boston Jubilee to i gather. While routing in the hotel one evening they heart! • band approach | ing. playing aotne martial air. I urning | to Belknap the General inquired what ; tune that waa, ambling that he had been ' hearing it ever aince he left home. He was told that it was "Hail to the Chief," , and they were playing it in hi* honor, | for the band at that moment top|>ed [ under hia window*. On the following ; day there waa another aerenade and reception, during which Grant turned to Belknap and aaid be waa glad that band had tound aomething new, aa he waa tired of that old tune. Belknap burat in a hearty laugh a* the band at that very moment waa rendering the inevitable "llail to the Chief," and the General did not recogniae it. A Washington correspondent of the I,oui*ville Cb*rirr-%kimnl give* the atory of the man who had been promised the first vacancy in the Post Otficc Depart ment. One day while latily sauntering near the river, he saw a dead man dragged ashore. He looked at the face and recognised a clerk whom he had known in the poet-office. He ran all the way to the department, rushed into the presence ol the Postmaster General and demanded his appoint ment. "1 only promised you a place when there waa a vacancy," aaid the Postmaster General. "There il one." said the excited individual. "I saw the dead body of John Jones dragged out of the river." Slowly the Postmaster General enunciated the following words: "You are too late. One hour ago the J lace waa given to the man who taw ohn Jones when befell into the river." The Navannab AVira says j During the war General Mcl,aw*, now Postmaster nt Savannah, waa riding down hia picket line and encountered a genuine son of the Old Pine Tree State on duty, who had taken hia gun apart vrlth the Inten tion of giving it a thorough cleaning. The General halted in front of nira, when the following conversation en sued *. "J.,00k here, my man, are you not a sentinel on duly f "Well, y-a-a, a bit of a one J" "Iton'l you know it is wrong to take your gun apart while on duly ?"
