THE BRAINY MOVE WENT"
To-day is the opening of the'second session
of the Fortieth Congress, and the National
Union Club of this city marks the day by a
public "demonstration in favor of General
Grant for the Presidency. At noon, the
quarters of the Club, No. 1105 Chestnut
street, were splendidly decorated with a grand
display of bunting. The "Stars and Stripes"
float from the tall flag-staff on the roof and
from every window of the building; while
*MO the street is suspended a beautiful
deg of the largest size, bearing, in bold cha
racters' the inscription :
NATIONAL ;UNION CLUB.
FOR ' PRESIDENT,
GENERAL ULYSSES S. GRANT.
It is proposed to keep this banner flying
until the Presidential campaign is ended. ,
The public movement in favor of the
nomination. of General Grant was inaugura
ted by the 'National Union Club, and has
spread through the loyal organizations of
the country with wonderful rapidity. There
c4in be little doubt that the great Union
League, the father of all the leagues, will
move in the same direction, at an early day,
and its powerful influence will be felt far and
stsx.
The demonstration. made to-day by the
National Union Club is significant of the fact
that the great Republican party has lost none
of its energetic spirit. The beautiful and
costly suit of , new flags which it flings to the
breeze have been presented by a number of
the leading public men of the city and State,
• hole,atify,_in_this_way,Alkekhearty Rpm
, val of the ground which the Club has taken,
in declaring its preference for Ulysses S.
Grant as the next President of the United
States:
POOR THADDEUS.
When a Gin&i). dog is kicked bat of one's'
way, he usually flies, silent with fright, to a
safe distance, and then opens his volley of
canine maledictions, with snarls and growls
which threaten the instant demolition of the
offender. So "Theodore Sedg wick Fay, an
American." The telegram from Berlin does
not give Fay's middle name, but it is Sedg
wick. Fay is an American, and for many
years enjoyed consular and diplomatic dig
nities in Switzerland. He went to Europe
in 1833, and has lived there ever since, with
a few short intervals of visitation to his na
tive land. To this fact is owing Fay's supe
rior opportunities for expressing to the good
people of Berlin the views of the American
people concerning Thaddeus Stevens. Poor
Thaddeus! Think of the old, sick lion at
Washington; with Fay, safe and sound in
Berlin, several thousands of miles away,
Laranguingen admiring crowd of listeners,
as ignorant and incapable as himself, as to
all men and matters of the present American
era. Fay treats his distinguished victim in
a style which reMinds ohe at once of the
small dog already alluded to, and of that
other old and sick lion who was so badly
dealt with in the fable of Asop. The cable
tells us that Fay "severely attacked Tha -
dens Stevens as a demagogue and repudiator:'
and denied that his views were those of the
tinerican people."
lido? Thaddeus! Fay has pronounced
against him. Nothing has yet been heard
from Washington as to the immediate result
upon the venerable statesman, and it is hoped
that the intelligence has been gently broken
to him. Coming all those leagues across
land and sea, the bark of the distant Fay
loses somewhat of its fierceness of tone, and
there is reason to believe that it v1 1 :111 fall
;,fin Qld p'an's ear 'et:n a modified
elect. Otherwise the most serious conse-
quences might be anticipated. Fay makes
his impotent assault upon Mr. Stevens a very
safe thing. Even if he were in this country, `.
he is not the sort of game that the old patriot'
would care to fly at. But at the long 'hinge
Which he has taken for his pop-gun oratory,
he is as safe as if •Mr. Stevens were already
dead and buried. It does not need the roar
of a lion to demolish such small fry as the
Fay family, and Thaddeus Stevens will pro
bably let this brilliant specimen of the tribe
severely alone. The Fays live in the dark,and
ilay-light is death to them. -"Theodore S.
F a y, an American," gropes about in his de
nationalized ignorance, and talks flippantly
about things and men who are moving In a
light which would dazzle the poor old bat if
le came within a thousand miles .of it. He
Would vanish into thin air as did Drake's
Culprit Fay..
The bill-tops gleam in Morning's spring,
The eky-lark shake' Ms dappled wing,
Te dayllimpse glimmers on the lawn,
The cock. has crowed. and the rays are gone."
LINEAR mama FOSSILS.
There has been discovered 'on the Ashley
river, near Charleston, South Carolina, a
vast deposit of fossil remains of animals. A
short distance . under the soil, where they
have been buried for ages, lie the bones of
The mastodon, the ichthyosaurns and other
monsters of a remote period, the date of
- which even geology can only r3x conjectu
rally. Generations of men have been born
and died there; without ever drearning of
entedlluviab predecessors whose tone
--lioy - Veneath Ahem; - until now, when Yankee
„
Intelligence, =earthing the relies, has qn
mounced that they area vast mine:or Wealth.
The dead ,rnonsters antiquity are
henceforth to "utilized:" say the? tele
grams. Thai , are to be dug sold by
the Wit, not a curiosities for tinnieuniti, but
as phosphates, and are tO' be converted into
,fertilizers, to enrich the sOil that, has shel
tered them thus long, and to be exported to
other soils that need the new ' vitality that
chemistry develops he Such Strange deposits.
Northern capitalists including severalPhila
delphians, organiz ed into ., a company, are
directing their energy 'and money towards
the novel enterprise.
Is there not something symbolical in this -
modern revelation of the fossilism of the
Southern States? Are there not among - the
long dead monsters that have lain for thou
sands of years by . the„ banks of the
Ashley, types of the dangerous creature,State
Rights; of the poisonous Ophidian, Nullifica
tion.' of the terrible Plesiosaurus, Secession,
and- the more terrible destroying Chimaera,
Slavery, that _ '
"lonetrum, herr= dun. hiformo, ingenr, mil lumen
ndemtum.”
which for generations oppressed and tor
mented the fair land of Anierica ? Will
Northern money and muscle undertake to
utilize these, and convert them into what the
telegraphic despatches declare to be an
article "superior to guano ? " The com
parison of these Southern political organic
remains, in their "utilized" condition,
to the • offensive but useful deposits
of the foul birds of the South sea,
has in it something of poetry as well as
,of justice. Their consuming phosphor
escence, that fired the Southern heart and
lit thnloreh of revolt and war, may now, in
the process of their decay, be regarded as not
only harmless but useful. They will enrich
the benumbed intelligence and soften the
hard hearts of the people that once made
idols of the political monsters whose remains
lie scattered all over the South. It was on
the banks of the Ashley that Calhoun and his
fellows firatiet up these idols; and on the
banks of the Ashley Yankee power and in
telligence are about to dig up their types,
and make them, in their dead state, a bless
ing instead of a curse to the land.
Queen Victoria has put her foot doWn on
the subject of mutton. The London news
papers, headed by the Times, have started
a crusade against the exorbitant prices de
manded by the Cockney victuallers, and the
Queen co-operates in the movement, possibly
with a view to securing reasonably cheap food
for the masses, and quite probably, with an
eye to the keeping down the expenses of her
own commissary department. The butchers
who supply the Royal Palaces with flesh
moat were lately notified that only eight
pence half-penny a pound would in the
future be paid for the best mutton, and if
they declined to accept these rates,the Royal
custom would be withdrawn and the first
lady of England, with her numerous
roses and fair expectancies of State,
would either worry-along-on beef or-poultry,
er do the best they could• on fish and vege
tables. The "Thtniderer" and the Queen
combined were too much for the mutton
butchers, and sheep-meat was forthwith re
duced to the royal itandard. King John ,
used to draw the teeth of his pecunious sub
jects to bring them to a pleasant condition of
financial amiability, and Henry the - Eighth
had a way of hanging butchers, as well as
of cutting off the heads of his queens, when
he wanted to put things to rights.
Victoria is progressive, and instead of employ
ing hemp or extracting molars, she simply
strikes against high prices. The Democratic
Republican home-keepers of America have
no predilections for royalty; but if royalty
would bring American butchers, forestallers
and farmers to a sense of their sinful 'extor
tions, and finally put down the price of
marketing to a reasonable figure, the said
house-keepers would almost consent to a
small, temporary feminine Guelphic expe
rience, with even a dash of Plantagenet or
Tudor, if the extremity of the disease re
quired so severe a remedy.
In New York, on Saturday, a jury rendered
a verdict of $1,750 as compensation for the
injuries received by a man who had walked
into an excavation and broken his arm. The
contractors who had left the hole open have
to suffer the, mulct. We sometimes do things
differently in this city. The other day a boy
was killed by running foul of a pile of bricks
that, in defiance of law, had been put close
to a railroad track. The jury put the
amages upon the company that owned the
railway car upon which the youth
happened to be riding when he
threw himself in collision with the brick
pile. ‘, The owner of the bricks and the con,
tractor who put them there l in foilMtke of
law, And in spite of the protest of the rail-
why company, ca i 0 off With flying colors
era unharmed by damages ! If this same
jury had tried the New York case last week,
they would probably have put the
damages upon the man who made the boots
in which the plaintiff walked into the exca
vation! It would be quite as reasonable
as their verdict in the' car and brick-pile
case.
,They do things in a very rapid manner in
New York. Lately a large retail ,dry goods
house, was opened with a great flourish and
in magnificent style, on Union Square, in the
very heart of the fashionable shopping region.
The rent of the store was fixed at 00,000 per
annum. In precisely two weeks and three,
days the firm failed disastrously. Certain
down town dealers, who were large creditors,
becoming uneasy, Are said to have sued out
writs of replevin, and helped themselves to
goods that looked like thehw, in order to save
themselves. At all events the great house
had a career of only seventeen days—brief
enough and rather brilliant during part of the
time.

Cbarles , Leland, Ese.i, a. weil-known Philadel
phian; died at Ms residence in Locust street on
Saturday last. Mr. Leland, who came of Revo
lutionary stock, was born in Massachusetts. in
1790.. In early life he ciine to this city and en
gaged successfully in, mercantile pursuits. He
subsequently employed his accumulating capital
in the improvement of the city, and some of the
finest edifices that have I)ten - reared Within the
largolitopty years are tbe results of his enter.:
else. When the old dreh street prison ceased
to be used for its original purpose, Mr. Leland
puicbased the property 'and "he covered
the lot ' with tine .dWellings. At a
later period he purchased . the old Congress
Hall property?running throti,gh from Third street
to Chesnut, and this site he covered with ele
gant and substantial granite stores. He was
also prominent in enterprises of a more public
character, wl4ere important results wore reached
through associated capital. The deceased bore
an unblemished reputation for commercial in
tegrity, and as a citizen he was as patriotic as he
was enterprising , and public-spirited. During
the Rebellion he was active and earnest in his
advocacy of the Union cause.. Messrs. Charles
G. and Henry P. Leland, both Of whom are well
known for thorough scholarship and fine literary
tastes, are sons of the deceased.
Sher Of How,ll.
The official term of Henry C. Howell, Esq., as
Sheriff of the county of Philadelphia, having ex
pired, he retired to private life to-day. He has
taken an office at No. 921 Chestnut street, where
the unsettled business of his term will be closed
up. No man ever filled this important position
more satisfactorily and efficiently than Sheriff
Howell has filled it, and none ever flared from
it with a more unanimous and emphatic expres-
Mon of the respect and good will of all who
have had business relations with the tiariff.
While naturally gentle and kind, Sheriff Howell
possessed inflexible determination when the
duties of his Oka demanded the exercise of firm
ness, and while ,tile business of the Sheriff's office
was conducted faithfully and well, the cause of
humanity, propriety and public decency was
assiduously cared for. It was truly to be said
that Sheriff Howell, in the performance of the
duties of his office, has won golden opinions
from all sorts of people. , .

Wasnmoron, Dec. 2.—The Committee of
'Ways and Means bad a meeting this !norning,
tund contidered-the bill repealing dot tax on cot-
Yon. After a lengtbytession, no conclusion was
scatted, and it is notprobable that . the Commit
tee will be ready to report the. bill to the House
forseveral days. Et looks now as though the
tax would" not be entirely rot :waled. Possibly -a
tar tif-ene Or one ands half emits will be al
lowed to remain.
The HOMO assembled at 10% o'clock this
morning. The clear disposition et the House en
the subject of therpsyment of the principal and
interest of the public debt In -currency was
manifested upon introduction of a resolution
offered by Gen. Banks. This 'resolution nate
forth that the national honor, as well as credit,
required that the funded debt °f-the U. States be
paid, Interest add principal, in gold, and not in
depreciated paper currency. -The House re
fused to wend the demand for the previous
question on the passage of the resolution, and
the most that the tactics of 43en. Banks could
aceompUdi was to have his resolution referred
to the Committee of Ways atutMeans.
.The Election Committee were instructed to
continue their investigations in the case of Wm.
H. Barnum, Conn.,who, it was alleged, procured
Ida election through bribery.
The Supreme Court of the united States met
at noon, allot the justices present. Soon after
meeting the Court adjourned, and Chief Justice
tame announced that they would proceed in a
body to the Executive Mansion to pay their re
spects to the President.
The Senate, after organizing for the second
session of the Fortieth Congress, appointed a
committee to wait upon the President and in
form him that they'were ready to receive any
message or communication he may have to send
them. Arecess was then taken until 1 o'clock.
,Hon. Thaddeus Stevens is as 11l as to be unable

PHILADELPHIA, Monday, December 2.
The demand for money continues active and the
'current rate for "call loans" is 2' per cent., with ex
ceptional negotiations at X less; the beet mercantile
obligations dffered on the street range from 9 to 12 per
cent. The bankers are extremely cautious and cir
cumspect in their selection of beelines paper. Trade
is dull, as the merchants are conducting their affairs
in a strictly conservative manner. There is no expaa
sion among them; on the contrary, many of them are
doing frilly as much cash trade as before the war, and
the inference is a fair one that they have an amount of
capital which entitles them'to a fair amount of confi
dence. There was not much-spirit at the Stock Board,
and Government Loans fell off X ,per' bent. State
Loans, third series, sold at 105 X. City Loans, interest
off, closed at 98% foe the new and 95 for the old issues

Mr. Wilson (Iowa), Chairman of the Judiciary Com
mittee. obtained leave to make a personal explanation
referring to an editorial art icle in the Wathinaton In.
telligenePr of November 27, .n which the action of Mr.
Churchill, of New York, on the impeachment queetiomis
spoken of as the "defection" of an importunate beggar
for place and patronage at the foot-stool of executive
power. And in which it is stated that to 'lam
particularly refer the scorching words of Messrs.
Wilson and Woodbridge.ague He said that the article
attacked his colle unjustly, and gave itself point by
stating a misapprehension of the report of the minority
of the it
in Me introductory paragraph. That
statement. be said, In reference to the minority having
only been informed forty-eight hours before of the char.
atter of the report representing the changed attitude of the
Committee. was intended simply for the defence of _him
self and colleague, and not as an attack on Mr. Charch
ill. 'Hutt statement had been read to the Committee, and
had mowed without challenge.
It was not his (Wilson's) intention to cast any reflec
tion on Mr. Churchill, and be knew of no reasons that
would justify him in challenging his (Churchill's) rao
three, or in suspecting his personal or official integrity.
He regretted the change, but he had never thought of im.
larting it to other than conscientious motives. lie be
ieved that what he had done wee the resideof,lahi-tense
of public duty, that be had not acted from a mercenary
motive, that he was not a Judas in the body of the Com
mittee, and that he had not been an Importunate
for place and patronage at the lootetool of Ex=
power.
His (Churchill's) conduct presented quite, the reverse
side of that picture. He bad abstained from asking ex.
ecutive favor, and has, he (Wilson) believed, been scru
pulouply correct in that regard. However much Mr.
Churchill might have erred in judgement it should not be
charged to improper motives or mercenary considera
tions, for he could not believe that either of those ele
ments had entered into his action as a member of the
Judiciary Committee.
Mr. Paine offered a resolution reciting that it Is
provided in the let Article of the Constitution that no

sequence of appropriations made by law, and that the

WASIIIWOTON. Nov. 10.—Bear Colonel: I have your
setter of the 10th instant, advising me of the formation
of Grant Clubs by many of your comrades in Kansas, and
asking my opinion of the nureinent.
1 can neatly wish to be in accord with the great part of
my Kansas and army friends; and still hope to unite w ith
them in impi orting Gee. Grant for Preaident. But I want
Lnit to know whether he approves of the Reconstruction
measures; for, if Ito does, I cannot support him. I regard
them as mischievous, begot of revenge, !Wadi, ected phi
lanthropy and lust of power. I w ouid as soon expect a
home to stand on the crater of a living volcano, as a State
where whites and blacks being nearly equal in num.
Lets, the w bites are proscribed and the blacks made
rulers. Such a Government cannot long have the heart.
..felt sympathy of any large body of men anywhere. Blood
fa thicker than water, and Northern whites will Byrn
pal hize with Soathern whites in tear struggle to, shake
off the incubus of negro rule. If there were no prejudice
oft aceto affect their action, the Northern people would
still Mese to reproduce in ten States of the Union, Hayti
or San Domingo, or any, other government and civiliza
tion which the negro ruto has - established since the flood.
go punish the Southern whites for their treason, the
Northern peohle might possibly, for a time; be wilting to
t them with such governments; but self - Interest tor
bids it. It were like the fabled war of the belly and the
members. The North already groans under the punish.
meat now being inflicted on the South. and Priest,
besides, pay for the whip. The negro governments, when
formed, must bo propped up with Northern bayonets,
and the North must pay f , r the bayonets; and, however
costly, they can never safely be withdrawn. When re
constructed, each one of more Statea will be like a maga
rine—all secure while carefully guarded outside, hut,
w h en left unguarded, a chance spark will blow It, and
all about it, to the devil.
En. ertaining these 'larval would not support any can•
didate for the Preaideno who !intones the reconstruction
measures. even if they were lawful, atilt less. as I con
sider them wholly unconstitutional, and full of danger as
precedents.
I write you thus explicitly, because I value your good
opinion, and want you to know bow I think and feel, and
mean to act, on toe stupendous quesitons which lie around
and before us,
Yours faithfully,

from the body. as the remains were yet warm and un

is torn and disfigured. •No doubt is entertained that
thew omen came to her death by violence/ It .wais at
find thought that she had died from being erpoecdto the
cold weather of the previous evening, but fact, have
einee come to light showing that she was on that night in
her apartments of the tenement which she occupied.
together with another family. Had the woman been
found upon the roadeide there would have . been
reason to believe that her di mice was caused by
exposure, but being found in the rear of a dwelling, and
there being numerous tracks leading there, is maiden, to
cause suspicion of foul play. The husband of the woman
has been arreeted on surpicion. It in alleged he wag heard
