The first national result of the Demo cratic reaction of last year was the election of Air. Eaton, of Connecticut, to the Senate of the United States, lie was the repre sentative of the real sentiment and ten dency of his party, and in a speech made soon after his election foreshadowed the course in regard to the amendments which Air. George Ticknor Curtis elaborated in COUNTY, PA., APRIL his letter to the Alauhattan Club after the Xew York election. Air. Eaton has now made a speech in the Senate. It is a grave misfortune for a mere politician, of what ever local reputation, to be tranfserrcd to that arena. If he speaks, the whole coun try hears, and, despite the expressive sil ence or the zealous praise of his party, or gans, he is measured by the public judg ment as surely as a new boy at school by his comrades. Air. Eaton's speech shows conclusively that he is a bitter, narrow, unintelligent partisan, and nothing more. He was a "Copperhead" during the war, and he has all the spirit and tone of his class. "Wholly unimportant in himself, he is ncvcrthless the representative of a party that aims to control the government. lie is the chosen leader of those who arc now appealing to the people of Connecticut to restore the Democratic party to owcr, and his views must be accepted as those of his associates and followers. The substance of his speech was a de claration, reiterated and repeated, that the States of the Union are sovereign. It is a rather useless discussion, since a war of four years has decided that they are not so. Air. Eaton said his assertion that the States were "sovereign and independent" was not heresy when Aladison lived. lie is mistaken. Air. Aladison said, in the Convention ofl7S7, '-The States never possessed the essential rights of sovereignty; these were always vested in Congress." lie went on to say that their voting as States, even in the Congress of the old Confederation, was no evidence of sover eignty. A sovereign power which can not declare war or make peace with other sov crign powers, or coin money or conclude treaties, or which, having delegates those powers at itsovcrcign will, can not at that will resume them, is a very absurd sovereign power. If it can resume them Jefferson Davis and his confederates were correct in asserting that secession was the right of a sovereign State When Air. Eaton on the points of this very simple dilemma, his writhing was pitiful. lie attempted to ex plain that the State were sovereign, and the Senate very properly laughed, and Air. Eaton said that he did not feel well. That was precisely what Davis aud his men said after a desperate attempt to put Air. Eaton's doctrines into practice. This is the "reform Democracy." The party succeeds in electing a Senator from New England, and he begins by professing his allegiance to the Virginia and Ken tucky resolutions and the dogmas by which secession and rebellion were defended. He succeeds in proving to the intelligent peo ple of" this country that the Democratic party i.s the same old party whose danger ous fallacies Webster exposed forty years ago, and which still petinaciously clings to the opinions upon which it defended, slav ery, and which logically justified nullifica tion and rebellion. "While it sends to the Capitol from this part of the country Sena tors who, like Air. Eaton, proclaim these principles, it sends from Alissouri and Georgia Senators who, like Alessrs. Cock rell and Gordon, maintained them in the field. Are such men more likely to ad minister the government according to the principles established by the war than those who sustained the war and won the vic tory ? Air. Eaton succeeds Governor Due-kin"-ham, who was one of the most devoted and patriotic of the war Governors. Does any intelligent American not utterly blinded by partisan fury suppose that it would have been better for Connecticut and the coun try if Air. Eaton had been Governor in stead of Air. Duckingham ? Why should it' be imagined that a Tory of the Revolu tion would have been a safer guardian of the government founded upon the principles of the Devolution than a Son of Libert)- ? That is a question which the voters of Con necticut have to ask themselves now. For what reason should Air. Eaton and Gen erals Gordon and Cockrell, enemies of the principles and objects of the war, hostile to the amendments and the settlements, as serting that the States are "sovereign aud independent," be prefered in the control of the government to those who deny the sovereignty of the States, who hold to the national supremacy of the Union, aud who believe that the amendments are jut and should be entered? farjcrs'cllj. Doth the steel and old rail mills at South Dethlehem, Pa., arc in blast. Laborers re ceive SI 10 per day. An addition to the mill is being erected.

In 1S3G the United Statc3 general government found itself in possession of 28,000,000 of surplus revenues, and re distributed it among the States with the understanding that should it ever be wanted it would be called for and must be restored. In most if not all of the States it was used as a school fund. Air. Hill's resolution is fur the repayment of the moneys. The amount due from the State of New Jersey is S7G4,G70 44. The value of coal mined in Germany in 1S72 amounted to about $100,000,000. NO. 47. Brother Talmage on the Scandal. "Down at our court house day after day there is uncovered the corpse of. an abom ination vaster in its blight than Sodorii ever knew. It is not a corpse of two or three days' lingering, waiting for a Chris tian burial, but for eight mouths, since last midsummer, it has been rotting in the face of the sun, and thousand pens arc stirring it up, and a thousand gibbets arc lifting it up on exhibition, and the printing presses are cutting up the loathsome carcass ami making it into mincemeat for a savory rc past, morning, noon and night ; and a.thtf periodicals don't turn it out fast cu'ough td satisfy the public appetite, they had to pub lish it in book form, so that we can carry it about with us for a lunch between tho morning brcakfust and the evening supper of putridity." "Drooklyn to-day eats scandal, drinks scandal, talks scandal, swears scandal, lies scandal, sleeps scandal, and from Fulton Ferry to Dushwick, and from Gowonus tu Hunter's Point, the city is paved with scandal and reeks with scandal, until one is tempted to go over to the Five Points to get a breath of pure air. (Sensation.') There are 5.000 carrion crows which aiihfi every morning at eleven o'clock on the top' of the court aud stay there until four o'clock! in the afternoon, aud these carriou crows-' fly north, south, cast, west, with an exault ant 'caw, caw." (Applause.) Eternal Go J, when will this surging, groaning, stupend ous, overwhelming mistiness come to an end ? The city needs a thorough fumiga tion. Will somebody burn a rag (laughter.) or carry about a shovel and lighted char coal for the stockholders of newspapers, who build themselves up on such hell-' broth. I prophesy eventual bankruptcy ruin or discomfiture in the world to comcy or come, or all three.' God will be even with you in some way." Aloney made by the publication of these perpetual, pestifer ous indecencies, will, in the end, be nofc only death to those who read them, but death to those who print them. God will get away from you if he has to chase you into hell for it. Waiting for no other man to do his duty, let us do ours. Kick tho infernal stuff out of your houscl (Ap plause.) What an Army of Toad-Stools Di& Did ever you think how strong the grow' ing plants must be to force their way up through the earth ? Even the green' tips and the tiny blades of grass, that bow be- fore a breath, have to exert a force incom ing through that, in proportion to'' their size, is greater than you would exert in rising from under a mound of cobble-stones. And think of toad-stools what soft,- t'cii der things they are,' breaking at a toucu". Yet, I can tell you, they're quite mighty in their way. Charles Kingsley, the celebrated English priest and novelist, was a very close obser ver of nature. .One evening he noticed particularly, a square, flat stone that,-1 should say, was about as long and as broad as three big burdock leaves. He thought it would require quite a strong mrh to lift a stoiio like that. In the morning he looked asriiiu. and lo ! the stone wrs raised so that he could see the light under it. What v?a his surprise to find, on' closer examination, that a crop of toad-stools had sprung uj under the stone in the night and raised it up on their little round boulders'1 a they came ! I'm told that Canon Kingsley giVcs an account of this in his book cr'ded "Christ mas in the West Indies," but it was in England that he saw it. Knowing that he was so clcfkj an obser ver, I shouldn't be one bit surprised if ho went still further and found out that ono secret of tho toad-stools being able to lift the stone was that they didn't waste time aud strength in urging each other to tho work, but each one did his very best with out quarreling about whose turn it was, or whether Pink Shoulder or Drown Duttou was skirking his share. But then tho toad-stools must have Wen strong, too. "Jaik-ii-the.Pv1j;tr tit. Xt'cholis for How to Destroy Ticks on Sheep. A farmer correspondent gives the follow ing as his method cf destroying sheep ticks, lie says : "Open the wool along the back from head to tail, and pour a small stream of any animal or vegetable oil except croton and the essentials on a warm day, and all will bo right, as every tick must cither die or escape. This is better than tobacco juice, or anything else I know of." In Troy, New York, there is a man ninety-two years old who has had six wives in his lifetime. i ii ii i. miii i rrr ...tffeaw
