—The ppcctacle which Is presented
iu the United States Senate just now
of the twogrtat parties of the country
quarrelling over two or three petty of

calculated to impress ]>eople with a very
great respect for the dignity of that
body. If there were any principle in
volved in tbe contest the unseemly
wrangle might in some degree be justi
fied, but there is none. The eloquence,
tbe wit, tbe sarcasm and the ridicule
are all expended to save a little patron
age on the one hand or to acquire it on
the other. Tbe thing is disgraceful all

which the missionary in charge of this

i including even capital punishment, is
' beyond conception. It is from the re

—Census totals by sex, show that
the male proportion of our population
has grown faster in the last teu years
than the females but in the last
twenty years the women increased in
numbers more rapidly than the men.
This beiug so, it must be that in tie
last ten years women have chauged
their modes of living, their style of
dress, and their habits generally, very
much, a3 all these enter largely into
the duration of life. It must be ad
mitted that American women, as a
rule, arc not as studiously careful of
their health as they should be, that is,
they do not cultivate habits with a di
rect view to promote health. Ameri
can women are not given to out-door
exercise, to daily promenades and to
hearty field sports.

prohibiting consolidation. The bill
passed third reading and was laid over.
In the House the bill submitting to

—The ter»:is of peace between the
English government and the Boers cf
South Africa, as announced in the

for us to understond exactly the rela

gratulation is that this dreary, dismil
war has come to an end. There vt'ap
no honor to England in fighting the
Boers. The annexation ot the Trans
vaal under the Beaconsfield administra
tion was an act of high-handed usurpa
tion, recalling thu methods of Warren
Hasting aud Lord C'live in deajing
with the poor, week rajahs of India.
Tbe difference, however, between the

—SENTENCE OF REV. LLOYD MORGAN.
—On Monday last the Court delivered
an opinion in reference to the motion hi
arrest of judgment and for a nc.v trial
in the case of the Rev. Lloyd Morgan,
dismissing the motion and calling the
defendant up for sentence. The motion
had been argued the previous Saturday
by his council in an exceedingly able
aud forcible manner.
Mr. Morgan, upon being called up, !
said that he hardly knew what to say
that his heart was overburdened. He
thanked the Court for the fair and im
partial trial—said he entered ioto his
defence wi.b a firm resolve that he'
could clear hiuts.-lf—said he had been
the victim of persons who had come to
uiin and told him of what they would
prove criminal acts with the prosecutrix
—that these men when subpa-nasd, re.
fused to testify what they had t<>ld him.
He further said that he bowed to the
decree of the jury, and asked the Court
to pass as light a sentence upon him, as
he was an innocent man.
The pcyrt said it bclievtd fuilv in a
Providence overruling all things, and
if the prisoner was innocent Le would
be vindicated hereafter; but twelve of
his fellow-men had decided the question
of his guilt, and the Court had a simple,
incsoratj)ti dyty—to pass the sentence
of the law - and that the sentence of
the Court was to pay a Sue of one dol
lar to the Common wealth, nay the costs
of the prosecution, and undergo an
imprisonment of tweenty-four calender
months in the Western Peniteutiarv.

An interesting paper which has been
prepared from data furnished by the
Bureau of Education in Washington
«jcntains SGttH- valuable informatian con
cerning the Children's savings banks iu
the public schools of France. The ex
periment is, it appears, a very great
success. According to t! c statistics
presented the number of these institu
tions at the prcs< nt time is between
ten and eleven thousand, the depositors
arc more than two hundred thousand,
and the deposits between $8,000,000
and S!),OOQ,QOQ. I'hese figures are in
many respects extraordinary ai.d ex
ceedingly suggestive. In founding the
first of these' institutions the idea of the
originator was that thrift ami economy
—the chief ends of life in France—
should be* taught as other things are
taught, anel that the place to be gin was
ju the honie and tbp school. It was
the reduction of theory to practice, and
the results that have been achieved,
even in the; mere matter of dollars and
cents, are not unsatisfactory. It may
he objected that a scheme of (his ohar
aete-r has a tendency to bring the young
into contact with the coarser anel harel
er feature's life that should he postponed
to a later ptrieel; that it tuakes misers
of boy. who should he cone crnul only
about marbles. While the genius for
saving may not l.clong to the noblest
e»r highest order «»f intellect, the eijaet
value of inoncy is a le»sun tjiat should
be taught meire frequently anel incul
cated more strongly than it is at pres

—The latest census sheets received
have some figures that will I e a great
surprise te> many people; The wlmlo
colored population of tho country in
IBso was fi.577.151, -bowing an in
orea»e in the; preceding ten years of 1 -
697.142. or nearly 32 percent , against
an increase of the white population in
the same period of it little' more than
22 per ce nt , ami that due lamely to
jpiiuigration. One of the' predictions
confidently mnelc was that the- Eman
cipation Proclamation would ge> far to
wards exterminating the black race in
this country. But the' facts show that
freedom agree-s very well with the; col
on d race. Fre.m 1850 te) 1860, when
slavery reigpeel in the' Smith, the in
crease of the colonel population was a
fraction over 22 per cent., against a
fraction less than 35 per cent., from
1870 to JHBO, when slavery was extinct.
And it is a significant fact that much
the largest It crease in the colored pop
ulation is in what we re the large slavc
holeling State's A like ratio of increase
during the nextt - *o decades will make
the colored race little short of 12.000,-
000 people. Thetio are facts which
challenge the ch.se attention of states
men at:el political economist#, as well
as of intelligent Christian people.
