VIRGINIA.
The Senate has practically refused to endorse
the hasty zeal of Mr. Bingham or to be driven
iy the impetuoue inconsistency of Ur. Greeley
kite an affirmation that Virginia 4t has 16'49
res.pects conformed to the requirements of
Congress," as Mn Bingham's preamble has it.
By an overwhelming vote, the Senate yester
day adopted the amendment of Mr. Edmunds
requiring the imposition of an oath upon State
officers, that they are eligible under the four
teentkiimendment.
,The, essential feature of the passage of, this
amentiment'is that it remands the bill to the
House, where it was so hastily passed under
the. Trestuare of Mr. Bingham's .infinerice; ex-,
erted during the absence of the • leaders of the
other side of the question. It Matters nothing
now, whether the Senate shall reject or pass
the bill: The main point of securing'its recon
sideration by the House was what was needed,'
and it is airiest certain that, upon such re
consideration, Virginia will come in or stay
oat, in accordance with the deliberate judg
ment of the majority of Congress upon the
itiCts of her case, and not in deference to any
iketorical " bosh" about the " mother of
ritisidehts, " and the sufficiency of her pun
ielbnient, and her standing at the door of the
Capitol "shorn of her raiment," and the like
twaddle..
!The new "York Tribune seems to have the
misfortune of being burdened with a super
fluity of sentiment, whenever any important
national question like this comes up; and the
graver the principle involved, the 'more pre
dominant becomes the sentimentality expended
on It. The Tribune shouted 4 : On to
Richmond !", when nothing bat de
feat and disaster was to result from
us hot baste. The Tribune got down and
sued for peace when the country was most
sternly determined only to conquer peace.
The Tribune folded Jefferson Davis to its arms,
in the person of Mr. Greeley, when the country
was most indignant at Andrew Johnson's odi
ous compromise with treason. And now Mr.
Greeley is terribly vexed because Congress de
sires to ask a few practical questions of a rebel
State which, with no sign or protestation of
penitence, is pushing itself back again into the
brotherhood which it strove so hard to destroy.
Ills a public misfortune that a great journal
like the Tribune should so frequently jeopard
its own power of usefulness by indulging in
such sentimentalities at the expense of all
sound judgment and principle.
We are heartily glad ,that the Republican
Senate has interposed to prevent the hasty
precipitation of Virginia into her old place of
restless power. Her temporary banishment
was of her own deliberate choosing. She went
out from us because t . she was not of us.
And she desires to come back, not because of
any strong love for the Union, but because it
is to her own interest to do ,so. There is,
therefore, no special hardship in the require
ment that Virginia shall wait until Congress is
fully satisfied that, in letter and in
spirit, she has complied, precisely and in
all respects, with every condition which
has been imposed upon her return. The Rebel
South has paid no penalty, even with all its
losses, in any degree commensurate with the,
enormity of its crime or of its consequences,
and it is nothing less than an insult to the loyal
sentiment of the country to assume that there
is any great hardship hi the exercise of , that
proper caution on the part of Congress that
interposes to prevent Virginia's forcing herself
backtinto place and power, unless she has fully
complied with every condition imposed upon
the other reconstructed Rebel States.
THE =MARY COMPAN Y.
The announcement made in the BULL4MIi,
yesterday, that the Library Company of Phila
delphia has actually purchased a site for a new
building was a very satisfactory one to all who.
feel interested in that venerable literary insti
tution. The selection of the locality has been
judiciously made, giving the Library, as in the
case of .the. Astor. Library. in New York,. the
combined 'advantages of the quietness of a
aide Street, and of a most central and generally-,
accessible neighborhood.
Unless the Library, Company should be so,
unwise as to demand an unreasonable price
. for its present premises, it will probably find a
purchaser, at au early day, in the United
kitates Governmentl as there is' a good pros
pect that Postmaster J Binghain's plan for the
enlargement of the Post-office, which will
.over the present property of the Library
Company, will be approved by Congress. The
Government will mot and ought not to pay
anything more than a fair ordinary price for -
the property, but that would be ample to . erect
such a fire-ptoof building as is requited for
the wants of the Philadelphia Library. It is
true that, in one sense, the Library Company
can afford to wait and to fix its own price. But
in another, and a very important sense,
it cannot afford to lose a great
deal of . time. The Library is going
to ruin for want of better accommodation.
Large numbers of valuable works arc being
practically lost for want of proper anungement,
smothered to death under the dust of ages. tut
ting away fur want of a change of air and lo
cation. Besides, while the Library is now at
the Ltuditess centre, it is daily farther removed
from the soda/ centre, and it ; must .be. to its
advantage to follow the westward march of
residence as speedily as possible.
The transfer of this venerable institution to
a new, modern building, attractive in ap
pearance and complete in its accom
modations, must Lave a great influence
ill de-fossilizing it, in all respects. It must
involve such a stirring-up of dry dust and such
a shaking-up of the dry bones of literature and
the literati, as will go far to secure for the
Lfbrary precisely the kind of popularity which
St needs. And for this reason, its stockholders
must see to it that a liberal policy is pursued
upon the practical question which is likely to be
presented to them, in regard to the sale of
their old, and the improvement of their new
property.
Another suggestion grows out of this move
ment of the Library Company. Its
purchase 'leaves ,a block of property
between its western boundary and 13roxi
street, which ought to be secured at 011C4) by
some one of our institutions of learning, selenee
or art. It would afford a most admirable site
either for the Girls' Notizie! School, the Acad
emy of Fine Arts, or some one of the other
kindred institutions of the city.
A DIEtErIC DIFFICiVILT*.
Hereafter let no good okl Democratic gentle
man NV desires to retain his standing
as a Democratic aristocrat, venture to eat
Ulehtsseti with his buckwheat cakes, From the
head-quarters of elegant, Demociaey the fiat
-las gone forth : that.such,trespaea_with treacle is
ddious and plebeian and will be followed by
loss of caste. The first sacrifice to this new
law in the arbitrary code of the upper crust
Betoticritcy Is Col. Lawrence of. Now York.
Col.'Lawrence was a member of the Manhat
tan Club. A pure and honest gentleman, be
. strove to, fulfil his duty to . society and
his fellow 'man, and to 41% a We
that was above suspicion in all 'else thaa
that it was devoted to the Democratic
patty . . In an evil hour Col. La:tore:rice entered
the restaurant of the elitb.and some maligtrint
fiend whispered in his ear that buckwheat
cakes were savory and succulent when I) , :adod
over with the juice of the cane. The gallant
Colonel ordered cakes with molasses. They
were good, and he ordered more. A third
time he called for them, and disposed of them
with hearty relish. But there were evil eyes upon
him. Certain fastidious members of the club
sat watching this plebeian feast, with faces'
flushed with indignation and lips breathing
maledictions. The result , was the impeach-,
ment of the, bold destroyer of cakes and
treacle,
,and his expulsion from the society
of 'the high toned gentlemen who
are devote - ee of butter, sworn foe§ to every out
cast who eats with his knife, and the unre
lenting enemies of the abandoned creatures
who outrage propriety by banding up twice for
more.
Coming from such, high partisan authority
we might justly seek for some hidden political
meaning for this action. We might strive to
find in this denunciation of molasses some
diabolical plot against reconstructed Louisiana
—some organized effort to rob the freedmen of
the fruits of their labor. If this is so, we may
look for an• early demonstration against pork
and beans as a cursed corftetion of
the Puritans, a taboo of ' corned-beef
and, cabbage as a • hideous botch-potch
favored by the State that defeated Asa'Packer.
If these things do come to pass—if these
dietetic declarations are to be issued, we
earnestly implore that they may be made ap
plicable to the common people of the party, so
that they may be driven—if they cannot be
led—into political proselytism and the adoption
of a pure faith which is not inimical to molasses
and has no article prohibitory of beans. If
Col. Lawience is kicked out of the party for
indulgence in syruppy cakes, why should not
Smith he excommunicated for eating hash, or
Jones for disposing of chowder? In this, as in
other things, we demand the practice of the
doctrine of universal equality, and we are the
more anxious about it in this case, because we
perceive in this new move of the Democracy
a chance for it to confer a blessing, for the first
time in the history of the party, by indulging
in wholesale excommunication. '
TILE WASHINGTON SUOW.
The best thing that has been said about the
proposed international exhibition in Washing
ton, was said by. Senator Morrill yesterday.
He declared that he was unfriendly to the en
terprise'because he thought it necessary for
Congress to protect the citizens of Washington
from themselves. The importance of the im
mediate exercise of such guardianship will be
apparent when it is remembered that these in
fatuated people propose to raise the' suns of
three millions'dollars among themselves and
their friends for the purpose of defraying the
expenses of the exhibition. for a variety
of reasons the undertaking must be a failure ;
because of the isolation .of a city with
Only one railroad, and no navigation; because
there aro no industrial Interests which can con
tribute to the exhibition ; because there is ab
solutely nothing in the city. with which to form'
even a groundwork for such an enterprise, and
.no class other thin storekeepers and landladies
which Can derive any profit from it. If the
Washington people.__ are permitted and en
couraged to expend their three millions in this
manner ; there-may be a big show, but it will
leave half the contributors bankrupt. We are
glad to perceive that a spirit, even iha degree
enterprising, exists among these sober, slow,
conservative people, but we are afraid that
such a sudden awakening from a century's
sleep has resulted in the blinding of their eyes
by the light of progress, and they are unable
clearly to perceive the results of their tre
mendous scheme. The Inspiration of it, doubt
less is, fear that the National capital will be
removed from their city ; but we think the
plan for convincing the world of the eternal
fitness of Washington for high honor as the
seat of the government a very poor one. A
great exhibition will attract to the city multi
tudes of entire strangers who have a certain
mysterious revect for a town of which they
know nothing practically. The experience of
a singlelweekyainong the hotels and boarding
houses will disgust the majority of the visitors
with the place, and perhaps create such a
prejudice against it throughout- the country
that public sentiment will be ready to approve
any'plan for the removal of the government to
a pleasanter locality.

condition, with assets largely increased, not

of such results in the first year of his adminis

There appears to be more delay' than is rea
in the settlement Of the vexed tpte,s
tion of the claims for New Orleans prize-mo
ticy. A commission was appointed to adjust
these claims, and the whole evidence in the
case has been in its hands for along tine. The
amount itivOlved isalarge One, antis of &in - -
siderable moment to the claimants, most of
whom are men in . indigent circumstances to
whose families the payMent of this prize
money would afford' greatly-needed relief.
Neai ly eight years have elapsed since the
glorious victories by which this prize-money
was won, and it is certainly time that the
claims for it were adjusted and paid.
The manufacture of creosote has increased
in France to an enormous extent: The Post
tells its readers this morning that " Over twelve
thousand of the worknten in the manufactories
of creosote have turned out en masse against
the proprietors of the works." Twelve thou
sand men in one town, all ma.king creosote,
are in great danger of over-stocking the market,
considering the small quantities in which the
ding is generally used. The solution of this
particular creosote will be found in the fact of
a recent strike among the iron operators at
Crtuzot, a village-of the department of Satine
et-Loire.

ANNAPOLIS, Jan. 17.—The Legislature of'
186$ passed forty-nine railroad acts. Thus far
there have been leas than half a down rail
road bills introduced the present session :
One to extend the time for the completion of
the Baltimore and Potomac Railroad ; to in
corporate the Hartford Railroad Company ; to
amend the charter of the M i anche.ster and
Parkton Railroad Company, and. to amend
the charter of the Pennsylvania Line Rail
road Company. Another bill will be in
troduced to incorporate the Elkton and 3fas
sey's Railroad, which will connect by a link of
less than twenty miles the I'hilatiolphia,
Wii
uiington and Baltimore Railroad at Elkton
with the Kent Railroad and the Queen Aame's
Railroad, at their junction at Massey's. From
this place, running down. the Queen Anne's
Road, a point may be reached from which a
branch road of seven miles will connect with
the Maryland and Delaware Railroad—tints
connecting Clayton,Delaware, and Easton and
Oxford. Another short road will connect with
the Dorchester Railroad. The friends
of the bill say that this will give
an entire Eastern Shore' Railroad in
Maryland that must be in the interest of Balti
more. It will reduce the present distange to
Baltimore some fifty miles, a 'route requiring
no reshipment, and open summer and winter.
Only twenty-seven miles of new road are re
quired to give us an entire. Eastern Shore
Railroad. A strong effort is now being made
through Cecil and Upper Kent with this ob
ject in view, and if Baltimore will aid this eon
necting link she- will have a road that must
and can only, from its position, be worked in
the interest of that city.
A FIZZLE.
The Cuban Itteetiving in . New 'lark Last
Night.
The N. Y. World says:
The meeting last night at the Cooper Union
in behalf of the Cubans was a disheartening
failure. Neither General Logan nor Mr.
Beecher, nor, in fact, any of the prominent
speakers who were advertised to be present,
made their appearance. Mr. C reeley presided,
and beamed with his customary wale of Wan.,
tile innocence upon the thinly occupied
benches; and Mr. Cassius M. Clay
attempted to make a rambling ; Tea ch
about Alabama claims, the origin of the Rus
sian nation, and the comparative merits of
rival reparations for dyeing the hair, which
the ill-used audience refused - to hear. Not a
Spark of enthusiasm could be kindled. The.
American public has never taken any warm
interest in the Cuban question, for the simple
reason that the Cubans have never themselves
accOmplished , a single act of notable heroism
during the whole . . course of the languid
insurrection. They have shown an
ardent determination to permit American
volunteers to do all the fighting, and to trust
in the possible interference of the American
government. One gallant action would have
electrified the entire American people; but
the Cubans in the field have never found the
opportunity or the inclination to signalize
their so-called struggle by any. heroic exploit
worthy of notice. It is impossible to arouse
enthusiasm in behalf of a rebellion which ap
parently exists only in the hotels and cigar
shops of this city. The failure of the meeting
last night ought to convince the Cuban Junta
of this fact.
—The divorce record at Chicago is becoming•
so bulky that papers now refuse to publish it
owing to " lack of room."
