speech in the House in reply to Gen.
Sherman's letter on the House army hill.
Some of his points were quite effective,
.but his rhetoric was overdone. The
'feeling In the Rouse is strongly against
Sherman, and if the Senate changes the
bill materially to suit Shrrman'aideas, it
will probably fall. When Gem Logan
concluded, the galleries cheered him
loudly.
Arr anecdote reaches the New York
Times illustrative of the exalted catima•
tion in which President Lincoln held the
heroism and skill of Gen. Thomas. A
meddlesome private correspondent of the
President, dating from New York, pro
pounded bytelegraph in September, 1663,
after Chickamauga, the Inquiry how long
the Government was to be at the mercy
of Southern-tarn Generala like Thomas.
The President weht in person to the
Military telegraph at Washington, with
his reply in his hand, to the purport that
modern history recorded no such achieve
-went in war as the successful conduct of
Thomas in retrieving the disaster at
Chickamauga. The Censor of the mill.
tary telegraph suggested to the President
not to give so, much importance to an
obscure,lf not wholly anonymous, cur.
responent BA to reply to hisimpertinence.
And, on reflection, he concluded to take
this. advice. But the autograph dispatch
was left in the telegraph office, and was
subsequently. after the death of Lincoln,
handed to Gen. Thomas, and Is now
probably In the possession of his family.
Tax Superior Court of Buffalo has re-'
cently made a decision in regard to usury,
which, if generally sustained, will be of
great importance to banks. It holds that
national banks arc not rubject to the laws
of States as to the rate of interest on dis-
Counts, insomuch as they derive their ex
istence from the General Government's
It having been established that Congress
has the constitutional power to na
tional banks, the Court holds it to follow
necessarily, that Congress can also estab
lish the rate at which they may discount
paper, as well is the penalty for exceed
tog that ratc:l In the case before the
Buffalo Court, - there was no question as
to the usury under the State law, but the
Court refused to let the queition go to the
jury, and directed a verdict for the amount
loaned, with interest at seven per cent.
The point involved is not a new one
among lawyers, but we believe this is the
I first decision by a respectable tribunal
upon the precise point Involved as be
tween the State and national laws. It
will readily be seen that if this decision
be sustained it will give a material ad
vantage to national banks over those or
ganized under the State law, by securing
the former from loss of the entire amount
loaned in cases where the plea of usury Is
interposed. .

A strange Story
One of the Paris journals announces
the death, at Versailles, of a Russian lady
who .appeared at the drawing rooms in
Paris In 1418 and 1849, and was nick
named the "Dam - c ala Clef." She died,
aged forty-five, in the most complete sol
itude. •It is said her husband, who was
much older than ahe, clime to see her for
wcek or two every six months, and
went away again no one knew whither.
All was mysterious About this Lady of the
Key. Last month the husband did not
return as usual, but a letter came an•
'flouncing his death, The widow survived
I him a few days only, and it is supposed
Ishe allowed herself to die of hunger.
Whether true or not, this was the story
that was whispered about her when she
appeared in Paris, young and beautiful,
more than twenty years ago. It Is said
that her husband surprised her in a little
country house which he possessed near
Moscow at the moment she was hastily
shutting somebody up in a wardrobe. A
servant bad betrayed her. The Musco•
vile Othello turned the key twice in the
wardrobe, took it out, and then told Ida I
wife to follow him. A traveling britzka
stood a few paces from the villa.. Morel
dead than alive, the unhappy. woman
obeyed. . ,
When the husband bad placed Ler In
the carriage, and given an order In'a low
voice to the coachman, "Keep this key,"
he said to his wife: "I have forgotten
something and will return." and then
went back to the house. Ile returned
according to his promise, but as the car
riage destended the hill the peer woman
saw the flames issuing from the windows
of the country house and taking full pos.
session of it. She fainted away, and on
regaining her senses perceived that a gold
chain was riveted round her neck to
which the little key of the wardrobe was
attached. She wished to kill herself, but
her husband threatened her that If she
committed suicide he would reveal her
misconduct and cover her end her family
with dishonor. She was therefore con
demned to live, and her strange neck
lace excited much curiosity in Paris. At
last her tyrant allowed her to' retire Into
a quiet retreat on the express stipulation
that she would not attempt to destroy
herself during his life time. Ills death
released her hem this condition; but she
bad languished for more than twenty
years, bedsit the witness of her guilt
always before her eyes. It is a curious
story; we wonder whether it is true?
London B I Fights,
A London letter cObinini Ude
"Londoners have been recently fur
nished with a new amusement. The
theatres have about run their course, and
music halls are beginning to be voted
slow. Not long ago people were running
mad over a group of ,performing mon
keys; but they, too, have had their day.
Tke new excitement is a bull fight, which
takes place nightly at the Agricultural
The entertainments are reproduced
after the fashion of bull fights in Spain,
in every essential particular, so far as the
mere representations go. That is, the
animals are really alive, and the perform
ers are genuine Spaniards.; All the para
phernalia of the Spanish bull ring are
faithfully exhibited. But here the par
allel ends. The bulls are not ferocious,
and even have their horns tipped so that
they can do no mischief. In fact, it is
quite Lmpoesible to coax or goad them into
anything like a becoming fury, and, in
stead of being finally slain by the trium
phant matador, the animal stands stock
still to have a gaudy rosette fixed on the
spot in his neck where the dagger would
be stuck if the affair were real. This is
the sort of amusement that now attracts
crowds to the Agricultural Hall. The

ants were opposed to it. He thought it.
however, rather Inconsistent on the part
of the Ways and Means • Committee to
provide that castings in ironn, such as
water pipes, the cheapest kind of iron
casting, not meting over one-third more
than pig iron, should pay a duty of one
'and three fourth cents per pound, equal
t 01122,20 in gold per ton. And he wee firm
ly of the opinion that the wisest thing
which the protectionists of the Houeo
could do, was to units Ins reasonable
reduction oLgenetal rates of duties on
Imported articles. Ho was the
wiseet man who saw the current
of public opinion and tried ' to
protect industry against sudden collapse
and sudden change. If he did not mis
understand the temper of the AlMes.^,
protectionists would be compelled,
they did not do It of their own volition,
to submit to a violent_ reduction, one
which would without much dlecrimina .
tion sweep soma industry in a vigorous
way. He warned them there would be a
reaction which would break down the
protective system. and be believed that
the wisest thing lie friends would do was to
stand by and see that the reduction was
steadily and prudently and carefully
made. He warned them there were
seventy Democrats on the floor who were
nearly all avowedly free trader.
Mr. WOOD—I do not know • single
free trader on this side of the house..

Mr. OARFIELD (Indicating him)—
There is one.
Mr. COX—Yea,
Mr. MUNDEN—Here is another.
Mr. WOOD—I am in- favor of a Ladd
for revenue, but I am not for abolishing
free trade, and I believe that to be the
general opinion on this side of the house.
Mr. OARFIRLD—In addition to that,
force over yonder. let me say that If you
draw a line by the west side of Ohio and
by the north side of Arkansas, you will I

out of MY-seven 'voted which these
States east on this floor, there are fifty
one who probably will vote for a redo°•
don of the tariff In some shape, and if
they he not gratified by some substantial
reduction, they are likely_ to go
good deal farther towards our
Homemade friends than they might
otherwise go. This is a mere view
of the situation, but I call the attention
of the country to It as one of the forces
in the case. With these forces before us,

COIIILESPOiDENT of the New York
Times in predicting a second term for
Grant, gives the following fair summary
of the present administration: "Grant
has tried to du what is right. He has
kept the peace; he has paid the debt; he
has controlled the revenge; he lies
shunned. alluring quarrels; be has not
angered the country by distracting disser
tations on the Constitution; he has been
rich in saving common sense; and
although be has disappointed aldermen
and ward politicians, and the shoofly'
'statesmen who would own him—the
people who plow and weave and dig, and
who have no interest beyond their crops
and. yarn believe .In Grant. It is a
great thing to know we have amen who
means to do what is right, and once we
have him we arc going to sustain him."
