Butler'? . Complaint c\galnat the Rx
uabllosn Pertf.
In disou-^ng the interconvortibility
??h??i? is the House of Represeota
tiveB, last Monday, Mr. B. F. Butler,
of MassaohaBettB, pointed out the
fact that too mills were stopped, and
that business men were put at disad?
vantage in the prioe demanded of
them for money, although money was
abundant, and prooarable on bonda as
a security for three per cent., busi?
ness men have to pay as mnoh as
seven, eight, and even twelve per
cent. He attributes this want of con?
fidence towards business interests to
the seeming determination of Congress
and tho Executive to bring the coun?
try to a speoie basis, that never was
und never, will be. He gave passing
licks at trust oompanicB and savings
banks, and asked who would not
rather get 365 per cent, for a Govern?
ment bond, than to pay it in a trust
company at foor cent, on call? In
connection with the distrust of these
institutions, he arraigned the Republi?
can party aa the party of the monopo?
list and bond-holder. Originally the
party of labor, it has so worked things
that the negro, representing labor,
was at one end, and the capitalist nt
the other. In other words, the
monitd interests have captured the
party, and ran it against the substan?
tial intorosts of labor and industry.
This abnormal condition of things had
been brought about by misdirecting
the Government and the party which
controlled it. Butler shows that his
eyes have been opened by the reverses
to which his party has been sub?
jected, and by bis own loss of the sup?
port of his State. It is doubtful
whether his grumbling will have any
affect in arresting the downward ten?
dency of bis party. It is suffering
from the consequences of muny other
evil courses besides those ho urraigus.
It is unlikely that it can take on a new
spirit, and follow a uuw and liborul
policy, which will recognize its errors
and honestly seek to retrieve them. It
has ruled the country in a bitter,
partisan spirit. It has devoted itself
to the work of prostrating the indus?
try and resources of the South particu?
larly, in its vindictive legislation, in its
fostering the bad influences which
have kept it under its heel, in its ef?
forts to eliminate and exolude those
principles which lio at tho bottom of
the structure of the government, be
oanse they have been illustrated by
Southern statesmen, aud are imbedded
in the consciousness of all Southern
eooamuuitios. It is a most singular!
instance of discrepancy between pro
i fession and praotioe. It may have done
some good in its better days, but evcu
that was at immense lose of blood,
treasure aud principle Its best acts
will not read well in history, at whoso
bar it will be condemned for over?
throwing much of value that can never
be restored, and for a demoralization
and corruption that will take a h>ilf
century of wiser and moro humane ad?
ministration to elT.too.
In the course of an article commend?
ing the inaugural me&sugo of Governor
Chamberlain, and the spirit in which
it has been received by tho tax-payers,
Harper's Weekly remiuds the Conserva?
tives of the Stale that the Governor's
task is most difficult, and that "its suc?
cessful accomplishment dopende very
mach upon their hearty co-operation,
not only by votes in the Legislature,
but by sympathy nod support in their
newspapers." The Conservatives fully ?
appreciate the position of tho Go- j
vcruor, and have done and are ready
to do everything in their power to j
strengthen his hands. There has been j
a most gratifying unanimity of feeling j
upon this subject. All thay dusiro is, i
that he shall follow out faithfully the {
admirublo plan so ably traced in the
message They know that everything I
cannot be donu at ouco. They are!
prepared for adverse gales and provok-1
ing cairns, bat bo the proper direction
is held to, and honest efforts continue '
to bo mudo to lake the ship of Slate
into the port of safety, they will hope
on uud struggle on, aud co-operatn
hoartily with those appointed to corn
maud it. They comprehend fully that
the snccoss of the policy and moasuro6
enunciated ?n the messngo is their own
, pqooess, und the iudispeusable condi?
tion of the renewal and establishment
of good govornmont iu the State.

In a communication to the Louisville
Courier-Journal, Mr. J. R Buchanan
claims that lie discovered and brought
to the public viow, In 1812, ? peculiar
power, to express which he was oom
pelled to coin a new term, peychoemtry
or soul-nieasnriug. Ho regards tho
experiments lately exhibited by Mr.
Brown before the professors of Tale
Oollegc, as a familiar form of this
power. It is bused, ho says, ou delioale |
sensibility, but mainly composed of iu
toitiou, by which persons well eudowed
with it are enabled to feel tho influence
of anything with which they come iu
contact, and duiormiuc its influence ou
the human constitution. When it ex?
ists in a high degree, they not only
feel medicinal influences, but I hey can
feol the action of tho faculties in the
human brain, and rocognizo the cha?
racter or modes of thought of the per
son touched. What is more remarka?
ble, they can discover tho mental im?
pression imparted to par er iu writing,
and from aoy piece of m-uiuocript,
without eveti looking ut it, divine the
oharactor and emotion of the writer.
This faculty,'ho asserts, is ofteu the
accompaniment of genius, and o large
element in its success. The charming
German writer, Zchokke, was n psycho
oineter of extraordinary power, and
sometimes reud men's thoughts in a
way that overwhelmed them. Tho
writer olaimsto have obtained glimpses
of this faculty in Bishop Polk, Bishop
Otcy, Chancellor Scott, Judge Thacher,
Governor Quitman, and other eminent
citizens of the South. This is a pre?
tentious olaim, which it is difficult to
think oan ever bo established. But
quien sale? Thero are more things in
heaven and earth than are dreamt of
in our philosophy, an the divine Wil?
liam says.
The Reason Why.?If both pnrtics
in Cougrese, doriug the present ses?
sion, will bo upon their good behavior,
from prudential considerations, it will,
perhaps, be best fur the general inte?
rests of tho countrj', even if there is
little important legislation undortuken,
though the chief rccummcndaliona of
tho President will, doubtless, comu up
in some form. As the Democratic
party bus no power to legislate, it must
rest with the dominant party iu Con?
gress to decide what shall be the cha?
racter und temper uf tho legislation
this winter. It is quite possible for
Congress to make it- lust days its most
useful days, und to leave public affairs
in the beat po-<t<ible condition under
the circumstances. Even if thero
were no higher considerations than
public expediency, tins would seem to
bethebestcour.se. If pcttishnese and
vindiotiveness urc to be indulged, it
will bd at the expanse not only of the
best interests of the country, but of uu
intelligent selfishness This truth
is appreciated uu doubt by i he
more t>ug>icioos Republican leaders.
A serious danger, however, in the
way of conservative legislation is
that a much larger number of mem?
bers ol Congress of both parlies than
usual have uot been re-elected to the
next Congress, ami have tie', lite salu?
tary hopes of a politic il hit urc. Those
of them who uro soured and reckless
of consequences to parly uud country,
may be disposed to in ik" as much in
tho way of re.vi ego uud cupidity na
their few remuiuiug hours of public
life permit. Schemes of government
railroad bnildiug uud canal digging
always commend themselves to such
persons us important to the internal
improvement of their owu pockets and
tho development of their individual
resourcoH. This ia a matter, however,
which concerns Iho welfare of the
dominant putty as much as that of the
country nt large, fur if profligate ex?
penditures and jobs are to bo the
order of tho day thit; winter, tli?; tax
paying pcoplo of this country, the
Baltimore Sun saggestH, will be likely
to deiouud the reason why.

A Sisann Gasp.?According to tho
Baltimoro Gazette, tho only rcfcrcnco
made iu Congress to tho recent politi?
cal cyelooi?. is in tho prayer of Um Se?
nate Chaplain, He said:
"We acknowledge our chastisements,
j and pruy wo may bo corrected through
them. We beseech The to show Thy
favor upon this people, and help the
Government in its groat responsibility.
Help the Congress of the United States.
May tho caudle of tho Lord light them
through ovory difficulty."
Alna! wo fear thai, "tho caudle of the
Lord" is uot the light by which the
feet (or hoado) of Congress, are guided.

A Lieoaij Settlino or "Civil

Gardiner, a colored man. agtiiust Johu
Ellsler, manager of Ilm Cleveland
(Ohio) Aoademy, bus been settled iu
tavor of tho defendant Outhullih
of February, 1873, Mr. Oardiuer
bought a tiekot admitting to the drum

from taking aseat by thousberd, aud re?
quested to leave that part of the bouse,
on the understanding that hin money
be returned*. Gardiuor left, but
brought suit uuder tho Civil Rights
Act ugninst Muuiip/ir Ellsler. Judgo
Griawold, of tho Superior Court, iu
bib charge to the jury, stated in efleet
that "u theatre was a privato estab?
lishment, and that a m-muger had n
right to exclnde whomsoever he
pleased from it." The Civil Rights
Act, he stated iu his charge, has no
opplioatinu whatever in this case. This
plaintiff ban a right to bring a suit for
a breach of contruul in reference to ad?
mission to the theatre ok if ho were u
white person. Hut every man has the
right to use his own property us he
sees fit, eo that he does not injure the
perhon or property of others.
"Iu the conduct of one's own busi?
ness, a man is not bound to consult the
fculings or tustea of others, lie has
uo right to itijuro their pcraouB, or
ohnrooter, or property. So long ns he
does not do them wrong, or commit
nuisance, he may conduct his own
business in just such u manner und on
just Htich ruled as he sees tit. This
j right appertains as well to white us

provide and establish a rule th it uo

ter the 'dress circle,' aud he enforces
this rule, it is no ground for any ac?
tion aguimst him by snoh person. Mr.
Gardiner, the plaintiff", might establish
a theatre, nod if he. saw tit, be could
establish a rule that uo white person
