judgment and wishes of all the prom

future ? It might force them to the
support of all the odious measures
broached by the most ultra secession
ist—to the pensioning of rebel sol
diers, payment for slaves emancipated
—for losses sustained duriig the re
bellion--and carious other schemes
for making good their losses.
The declaration of Senator HILL
proves too much. In attempting to
show the loyalty .of the SOuthern
Congressmen, if we admit that - t - lw.
were • unanithously prominent oppd
-1 rents of the' doctrine of Secession,
then they were of no account - at
home, or treason and disloyalty Was
so general that their efforts werufu
i_tile. It is not probable, that if the 1
prominent men South had been true
to the Union, that the masses would
have insisted upon the mad endeavor
to disrupt the government. .
SECRETARY SIFERMAN has . written
aprivate letter to .a war Democrat in
New York, which has been published
'in the Ikebld, in Which he says that
the movement to start him as a can
didate for Governor of Ohio was
sonSatiOnni, and while it would have
very heartily • responded to in
Ohio and no doubt would be success
ful in the sense that he could be
elected Onxernor.,it would clearly be
wrong for him to ,entertain it. So
many persons are interested in the
continued success of refunding and
resumption that it would Seem like a
desertion of a. public duty, mid he
would never be forgiven it - any bin
dratv:C should occur in the way of
either,
After stating that in the
event of his being, n candidate for the
Presidency he would aspire to unite
in co-operation with the Republican
party all the national elements of the
Country that constituted or aided in
any way in the successful vindication
of national authority during the war,
lie lays down the following compre
hensive and patriotic platform:
" The trne issne• for 1680 iv national
supremae3 - in national matters, honest
money and an honest, d,:llar."
The platform licie laid down is
broad enough to embrace the honest
and patriotic men of all parties. The
supremacy of the nation should be
firmly established, and the heresy of
States Eights as advocated by the
Confederates in Congress fully ex
ploded; the currency fixed upon a
sotua and honest basis, that the
credit of the country may be sus
tained and-its industries fostered.
These are measures which the public
opinion of the country demands shall
be firmly established—and to their
success no.man has contributed more
than Secretary SIMILMAN. The pub
lic. approbation is already awarded
him for his wise and judicious labors,
I which ~haS already placed the finan
cial condition of the country in such
an untexamPled state of prosperity.
W ILLIAM LLOYD GARRISON, the
celebrated anti-slavery agitator, died
at the residence of his daughter, in
N(iw York, at eleven o'clock Satur
day night. Deceased was born in
Newbury port, Mass.,. December 12th,
1504., lI parentswere very poor,
and the lad was apprenticed first to
a shoemaker; neXt to a cabinetmaker,
and finally to, a printer. Before fin
ishing his apprenticeship he contri
buted to the coltimus of the journal
on which he was learning to set type
—the NZ , whuryport Herald. In Is2rl
j he became editor,and publisher, and
at once attracted attention by his
vigorous denunciations of shivery.
His denunciations exasperated the
slaveholders of the South, and the
Legislature of Georgia offered :1 re
ward of five thousand dollars for his
arrest and conviction under the laws
of that State. This action greatly
4'inereasedthe number of GAurnsos's
followers,' but also stirred up hatred
a: , ainst him in his own State. While
attending an ant:-slavery meeting in
Roston, in October, he was
seized by "a mob of gentlemen of
property, and standing," from whose
violence he was saved by being locked
up in jail, and on the following day
was conveyed by the authorities t 6
place of safety in the country. He
I , founded 'the American .4nti-Slavery
Society in I 5.32, and was its presOent
from 1-.13 to isfls. Aftek4abor4;and l
stilt, rings for opinion's . sake 7 -such
as perhaps no other American under
wcut—he lived to see his once wild
hope of
. emancipation realized.
TIIE ease of CHARLEY Ross, which
has excited such general interest,
:rad awakened so much sympathy for
-the fattier, who has so indefatigably
pursued the search for the missing,
child, is nut an unusual one. !most
daily, in the vicinity', the 'cities - .
children of toiler years are missing,
and never heard from. Mr. Ross'
searchcs and i correspondence has
shown hundreds of missing children,
and in
: some i inslanees has been the
rnedns of restoring them , to their
homes.' A sad case is thit of Mr.
and Mrs. PATRICK . MCGOWAN, of No.
lS Clinton Place, New York. In
October. 18'75, a little son ten years
old, a 1 wi!:Tid,intelligent, well-behaved
boy, disappeared, and since that time
no tidings of hini have been received'.
Last Monday their daughter MARY,
aged eleven years, disappeared from
school, and all search for her has
thus far been unavailing. She has
light complexion, large blue eyes,
brown hair mit short, slini build and
medium size.
Tur. General Judiciary Committee
of the Senate, who have beenconsid
cling the 'petition of LawYer . RICK-
Errs risking that Judge liAnimio, of
should be
,impeaelwil,
have 'adopted a: report, setting forth
that 14 - ere AV:i.S 'a failure 1:o establish
pnythitig charged in Ow petitioN that
the manner of conducting the case
sholied prejudice, unfairness, and r a
want of professional courtesy on
lilciarrs' part. While- there may
have been " faults of taste"- -on the
part of lama:aria, the Cominittee see
nothing to shake their confidence:in
his integrity or fidelity. • The report
concludes that there is no ground or
sufficient cause for impeachment - un- .
der the Constitution and. the laws.
This decision ,of the Committee
will be approved 'by nil unpri judicial

probably tloise pcodiarities which

given her.hiwycrs such a, widespread
reputation for ability-, generosity and

WHEN one woman becomes jolous
of another noncan, there is generally,
a man in the - case, but down in Mary
land they are now trying Miss LILLIE
DUER (before the grand jury) for
shooting Miss .ELLA HEARN, under
circumstiances which make it doubt
ful whe*r it was accidental, or the
result of jealousy of her friendship
for another young lady.- Both were
of high social standing, and Miss
Ducn seems to have had a violent
and romantic attachment for Miss
HEARN. The latter baying shown an
inclination to break off the intimacy;
was shot by the former when taking
a walk, either accidentally. or pur- -
posely, from the effects of which she
died about a month afterward. The
ease is cteating great interest. at
Snow Hill, Md., where-the grand jury
is ins:estigating the affair.
;SECRETARY SHERMAN, in his reply
to the request of the Senate fur in
formation as to the amount of legal
tender notes thus far redeemed under
the operations of the resumption act,
takes occasion to say that the coin
reserve of. $148,00o,o(ju to insure the
success of resumption "must, under
existing law; b 6 maintained 'for the
purpose for which it was created.?
This must be regarded as an explicit
assertion that, without regard to
What Congress might do in the way
of depleting the Treasury reserve,
so long as the resumption law stands
he (SnEamAs) will take care that a
sullicient reservq of coin is kept in
the Treasury vd ills.

always a tendency to epidemics in
large and crowded populations.

EDITOR ItErowrEit-Dear Sir: I was
shown an article in your last issue, in
which you sfwalkof the character of the
prcsent Legislature in terms that will bo
endorsed by every candid observer. As
ono who has bad occasion to carefully no
tice the proceedings of either branch for
nearly the whole of !bp session, I -must
say that there is Scarcely a necessity for
any correction in your remarks,. and that
yousHjudgeient is in general quite correct.
It is quite true that its good qualities are
-negative rather dzu positive, that it has
prevented evil rather than accomplished
good by direct legislation, but there are
here men who, after Many years of legis
lative experience, express the opinion that
a wedge of reform has 'Kea entered which
will not fail to be driven.home.
After, expressing my hearty approval
of your comments, I cannot close without
Congratulating your people on the excel
lent position' occupied by your represcn
,tatives hello. As a, general thing; it is
true that those who say most accomplish
least, but it is particularly true that those
who always rote anti say but little . attract
the most attention, and in the end secure
power and iulluenct?.. YOll are to INe con-'
gratulated on the fact that your Men have '
exerted their influence on behalf of econ
omy and reform. Madill, Nichols and
flitrkness, by their reliability, firmness
and integrity, have established themselves
strongly among the•best men of the 'Leg
islature, and made friendships - which will
last longer than the teen of the preSent
LegislatUre. Iu regard to Senator Davies,
his position as a leader in the Senate is
undeniable, for scarcely hai there been
occasion for any strong and conclusive
reasoning, withotit calling into play the
powers-of Mr. Davies.• Ile has figured
in every important debate of the - session,
and has always endeavored to shape hiS
efterts for the public good.
In conclusion I would state, in reference
to the candidacy for the Treasuryship,
that every day the feeling in favor o f
Senator John Lemon, becomes stronger. I
have heard many old and experienced men
strongly endorse him t many believe that
he will Certainly he nbminated.
Apologizing for this intrusion, I remain,
yours truly, - "SeJounziEn." •
A Good Work in Good Winds.
\ca• York Tribu
The Women's Foreign Missionary
Society of the Presbyterian Church,
held its annual meeting - recently in
Philadelphia. Reports were received
from miSsions in 1 ndia, China, Syria,.
Persia, Africa, Siam, Japan, Mexico,
South Anierica, and ainong our own
Indians. There has been lately, not
unreasonably, a good deal of preju
dice among thinkinEr, people, both in
and out of the churches, against
foreign missions. The good accum-,
plisbed is so small compared to the
amount-of money and labor expend
ed, so much smaller than it would be
if the money and labor were best O
wed on our own heathen at home, that
we ari , , all too apt, perhaps, to flout
these earnest Christian efforts as
chimerical and.useless. The religions
levet brought to bear on our Polyne
sian or Japanese brother must be
long and complex before it can reach
him. The money rased necessarily
goes-to clothing, feeding and trans
porting the missionary, his fainilv
and servants, to the field of work,
before a single Bible is bought or a
word spoken to the heathen:' As
sontebOdy sal's in the current number
of 2'he il llaillie, apropos to missions
in Syria, the troughs arc so long that
it takes all the maple sap to *et
them, and not a drop runs into the
kettle.
But whatever may be our just or
unjust objections to the general ma=
chinery of this enterprise, there is
much in this 'woman's work to silence
them. Themoney is raised, controlleil
and spent by women ; the missionaries
are women, and their work is among
women:and children. They do not
attempt to, argue down -the gigantic
structure of Iluddhism,.or to arraign
the subtle, profound learning of the
Brahmin against their own three
years' drill at a female seminary: In
stead, they teach the ignorant down
trodden women - to sew, to read, to be
clean and modest ; they make of .them
better wives and mothers; they take
the littM children on their knees, and
tohch by touch, day by day, bring
their plastic bodies and minds into
civilized habits and action, and into
both► mothers and children they try
to instil the pure love of Christ. At
least that is what they are sent to.do,
and what they ought to do; and it is
for this purpose that the 'women in
Philadelphia are working with such
zeal, and hitherto with exceptional
success. The Moral, right-feeling
part-of the community, whether they
are churchgoers or not, will wish
them godspeed, as - they would any
other hearty rational effort to Make
the world cleaner and hotter.
