Washington, February 17.?In the

The unfinished business, being the re?
solution for the admission of Pmoh
backj oamtt up, whan Mr. Morton.said
that be would ask' the Senate to re?
main to-day uutil this question .was
disposed of. Mr. Ferry, of Connecti?
cut, hoped the request of Mr. Morton
jfloald not be regarded by the Senate,
ferrhe Senator from California, Mr. 'Bar
m gent, had occupied the floor on Mob
r day and Tnesday, whan this question
was up, and now to insist, when there
has so far been no discussion on a
question graver than almost any other
that has arisen in this body in his (Mr.
F.'s) recollection, that we shall stay
here all night and talk to empty seats,
is monstrous: He (Mr. F.) desired to
Bubmit some remarks opon this ques?
tion, whioh would bo brief, .but in his
foeble condition he could not do it in
the small hours of the night. To in?
sist on depriving him and others of a
fair hearing, to which they were enti?
tled, on one of the gravest questions
ever brought here, is not just. Mr.
Ferry then said he felt that it was due
to himself and to the country that he
should give briefly, as he would be
compelled to, on account of his health,
the reasons why he could not vote for
the resolutiou for the ndtnis'don of
Mr. Pincbback. Ho had listened with
painful anxiety to the words ol the
Sonator from Indiana, (Morton,) to
6ee if there was one single reason why
he should vote for Mr. Pinohbuck, but
the Senator had not, in faot, touched
npon the real question at issue.

Mrs. Tilton Pottino Evarts up to
Things.?Yet Mrs. Tilton is by no
means so indifferent to tbe proceed?
ings as sbe was at tirst. For tbs lust
three or four days Beeobor bus tukon
no notice of ber, aud sbe sits all day
with ber head bent, staring vaguely at
tbe carpet. To be sure, sbe ban dis?
gusted all neutral observers by the
freqenoy with which she writes little j
notes, each suggesting a point where?
with her husband shall be plagued by
bis cross examiner. Nor, I am aorry
to notice, does Evarts disregard these
petty conjugal treasons, but, over and
over again, depends upou her prompt?
ing for the oonfoouding and bewilder?
ment of the witness. It is muoh more,
and a great deal more, detestable?so
several of us feel?that she thus array?
confidence, even a blighted wedlack,
agaiost tbe one of .those two whom its
violation has the most utterly and
most indisputably rained, than if she
were to boldly mount the witoesB
stand and commit black perjury
against the man who has made
ship wreck of this lifo for the sake of
retaining her. I mast confess that
aannot compote, by any standard to
which I may refer, the depth and
breadth of tbe infatuation which
drives that shrinking little woman to
the murder of her husband. 500 years
ago, under tbe same physical influence,
she would have poisoned the one with
laurel wator and fled with the other it
the velvets of a page. In 1875 sho it
a dowdy little creature, stared at
court and snubbed by hor gallant, wbc
merely kills her husband's fair fame
by scribbling notes to his dry am
raspi/g cross-examiner. There was
mor/ poetry in the lunrel water aud
vel/ets, but what would lawyers and
pikers have done?

Sending a Baht to Heaven dy a
Balloon.?One of tbe struugest aud
most horrible of sensational incidents
took place the other day at Fateaux.
A party of children who were playing
in tbe environs, discovered floating in
tbe uir, and partly entangled amid tbe
branches of a tree, a white parcel, up?
borne by meuns of some twenty or
thirty little red toy balloons, which
were attaohod to it. The attention of
tbe polioe being called to this singular
object, it was brought down and tbe
package opened, which proved to con
tain the oorpse of a new-born infant
Investigations into the matter brought
to light the following facts: The child
was that of a poor toy-maker and hie
wife; just after the confinement of the
latter, the husband had died suddenly,
and all tbe household goods and chat?
tels had been seized for rent. The un
happy woman was driven mad by this
accumulation of misfortunes; she
killed her infant, and then went oat
and threw herself into the river, leav
ing behind her a written paper, in
which she declared her intention of
committing suioide, and said that sbe
"bad gotten her baby all ready to go
up to heaven." A sadder tale, with a
Btranger termination, it would be hard
to find. The toy balloons evidently
bad formed part of the dead hoBband's
slock in trade.

Connecticut Demookatio Conven?
tion.?Tbo convention elected Davic?
A. Walla Piefideat. Ie bis address be
stated that the Republican party bad |
fuiled to properly administer tbe Go*
vernmeot aad restore peaoe and har?
mony since tbe war. He, therefore,
urged a return to Democratic princi?
ples, which he stated was opposition
to Federal interference in the affaire
of States?that Government being the
best which governs the least; equality
of all men before tbe law; a better cur?
rency, based on hard money, and taxa?
tion for rovenue only. He thought it
important that these principles should
In carried out farther thau in expres?
sions and platformH. He denounced
Federal iaterference ia Louisiana us
dictated by a vagabond political ad?
venturer. The convention unani?
mously nominated the old ticket.
The following are tbe resolutions
adopted:
1. That free government derives its
just powers from the consent of the
governed. That the Federal Govern?
ment is vested with those powers ouly
which ure grunted to it by tbe people,
and enumerated in tbe Constitution of
tbe United States.
2. That the publiu welfare requires i
the supremacy of the oivil over the
military authority, and the freedom of
persons under tbe protection of habeas
corpus, and consistent with the public
order for the State self-government
and for tbe nation, a return to methods
of peace and to coustitutiouul limita?
tions of power.
3. That wo view with apprehension
and alarm, and solemnly condemn us
subversive of free government, the re?
cent action of the Federal Executive
iuterforeaoo in tbe States of Loaisiana
and Arkansas, und the avowed deter
initiation of tbe Administration to dis?
regard the will of the people of those
States in reference to the organization
of their governments, and the manage?
ment of their local affairs.
?1. That the use of bad money im?
poses an unequal and dishonest tnx,
which be-irs most heavily ou those who
work for wages; that unredeemable
paper currency, by whatever name
known, is bad money; und that it is a
fraud in time of peaoe for the Govern?
ment to muke auythiug a legal tender
except K<dd and silver coin of a tixed
standard.
5. That the Republican party bos
proved itself unfit to rule, because,
with unlimited opportunity, it hurt
fuiled to make the bad money which i;
has foroed upon tho people equal to
good money with which to pay its
bondholders.
6. That it is no time, when industry
is depressed and honest labor every?
where deprived of opportunity fur
regular and remunerative employment,
to increase the burdens of Federal
taxation, and that the present acknow?
ledged bankruptcy of the national
treasury is conclusive proof of the in
oom potency of the .Republican party to
properly administer tbe fiscal affairs of
the country.
The remainder of the reeolations
point to the eoonomio administration
of tho State Government during the
past two years by Democrats; point
with pride to the tioket presented for
re-election, aud approve of certain ac?
tions of the last Legislature.
He Reposed to Mabby Them.?On
Thursday afternoon a well-dressed co?
lored man and a yoang white woman
visited the city hall, in New York, uud
mado known their desire to ho married
by Mayor Wiokbam, but tho latter re?
plied firmly, "No, sir; it can't bodoue.
While I am Mayor of this city I shall
never marry u black man to a white
woman, nor a black woman to a white
man." To a by-stander who suggested
that perhaps he had not read the
fifteenth amendment and the Civil
Rights Bill, the Mayor replied, "I
kuow all about those laws, but you can
roHt assured that notwithstanding
theui, no murriages.hetween whites aud
blocks can take place in this hall while
I am the Mayor of the city." Tbe co?
lored man looked surprised, aud tbe
girl's eyes tilled with tears. They
afterwards made application to Justice
Kilbretb to perform the ceremony,
but the Justice said bo was "too
busy."

The Man Who "Sassed" Butler?
Hi*' FirrouE Famb.*?Johu Young
Brown o?aie tu Congress tbi.t session
with tbe deliberate intention o! in
suiting Bon j tin in Butler. Wben a
sense of duiy itnptU a man to pat an
affront upon another, tbo ^ot is Btrip
I ped of ruffianism. Brown was vitupe?
rative because bis traioiug and oou
s deuce t?ld bim Butler was made to be
! insulted by honest men . In this view
it was' juit as heroic to pnsb back geu
I tlecuauly iustiucts, afcsamo the ioevlta
ble eeusure und possible expulsion,
and deliberately blackguard the object
of bis nutil'o detestation, a* it would
have been to charge a roaring battery,
or be burnt at tbe stuliu for religion's
sake. Tbe fact that the young Hot
spur bad caiefully prepared hm worda,
aud reduced hit. iuvectivo to a ,-duglo
well matured oeuteuce, proves hia ssu
cerity. There could be no excuse for
a member of Congreua gottiug angry
enough ill the caloric of debatu to
suddenly tpurt out such u seutenoe,
Uut to prepare it coolly iu advance,
aud then try for several days for an
opportunity to hurl ic at the victim's
head, evinces the seuse of moral obli?
gation which impelled it Johu Young
Brown was just as creditable in sacri?
ficing his breeding in order to de?
liberately iuaulta fellow-member whom
he believed ought to be insulted, an
John Brown of Harper's Ferry was
in laying ?iege to the whole State of
Virginia. What a man does for that
which be believes to be his duty is
something fur which be should be pu?
nished if it immolates law or deoeuoy;
but the man's a man for a' that, aud in
entitled to the praise sure to be tie
stowed on him whose acts tally with
his ideas.
Brown came from a State where
courage, whether of voice or body, is a
passport to position. Kentucky can
stand a brave idiot, but bus no com?
fort for an intellectual coward. Marry
spunk to ability, and Kentucky cannot
tind enough to give joiuud traits.
Brown has notified bis Blue-grass con?
stituency many times iu the past, that
be comes up to the measurement they
demand, both iu intellect aud pluck.
His crowning act, affronting with due
premeditation aud elegant billingsgate
?it' person whom tbe South regards as
twin-brother to the devil, setb him u
permanent idol in their shriuo. He
must be cleared from fishing for this
exaltation. He banged Butler because
he fancied it his duty to do so; not
from au iusane yearning for notoriety.
But bis fame is henceforth eternal iu
Kentucky. He "will, on his return
home, be giTen a distillery und a stud
horse?Kentucky cau do no less for
him. If hia conscience ii now satis?
fied, und forbears making him au ever?
lasting Sinthern Q lixotte, to tilt for?
ever at unworthy wind mills, there is
little of eminence tor which John
Young Brown may not hope. He is,
still on the sunny side of forty, yet has
been held remarkable iu a State which
grows remarkable men as regularly as
it does glorious women, for nearly
twenty years. Heran for Congress
before he remembered that he was not
old enough to take his seat if elected.
He distanced bis competitor, and was
then obliged to wait until the second
session of the term gave bim tbe requi?
site ripeness of years. Since then be
ban squandered precious time by fervid
adhesion to a doomed, and sulkily re?
pining at a lost, cause. His abomina?
tion of Butlerism was 10 cone_'..ited
and engrossing that he would not
come again to Congress in 18G8,
though elected ko to do by persistent
admirers. At last he compromised
witb hie conscience and took a re-elec?
tion to the present body, stipulating
to his soul that he would repay the
indiguity of sitting with Butler by iu
sulting bim. This offence against re?
spectability was not so gross after nil.
Brown came to Congress to insult
Butler. A majority of Congressmen
appear to come hero as un insult to
the entire common intelligence of the
country.
Brown has youth, superior intelli?
gence, a forked tongue, und a pre-emi?
nent sense of honor in bis favor. He
is un excellent lawyer, an able debater,
and his words .ring out with tbe riob
penetration of a silver olarion. If,
having made peace with his conscience
by artistically pain iug Butler as "pu?
sillanimous in war, inhuman in peace,
forbidden in sooiety, and infamous in
politics," he is now ready to wash his
hands and go sensibly to work, imme?
diate glory and prosperity await bim.
Kentucky has not had a Henry Clay or
Tom Marshall for some years. It is
abont time. John Young Brown is in
better trim to fill tbe bill than any
known eoioo of that State of superb
women, celestial Bourbon aud immor?
tal race horses. But if he fools away
further time paying devoir to the me?
mory of the punctured Confederacy,
and in ooining rhetorical insolence, the
golden day for him will presently have
slipped forever. One good insult is us
much as a clean aud ambitious man
oan afford to waste on Butler.

Mr. Bowon sent to tbo desk and bad
read the followiug communication:
To tue Honorable the Senate op
tub State up South Carolina: In
view uf the inadequate appropriation
now about to be made tor the State
Louutio Asylum with its preseut popu?
lation, it will be necessary to discharge
from tbe institution a large number of
iumatdB. I, therefore, respectfully ask
that an appropriation of not le6S than
five hundred ($500) dollars be made to
defray the expenses of sending dis?
charged patients to their respective
Counties, or that a law be passed re?
quiring the County Commissioner* to
rninnve them from the institution by
the 1st day of March next.
Tho uvoruge annual oust of mantuin
ing the insane in the various institu?
tions of this country is 8292 per capita
If we apply tho.-o figures to our Asy?
lum, it will' be seen that S50.000 will
support only 171 inmates. But I
think we can support our iusaue very
comfortably for $250 each per an num.
By this estimate, $50,000 would euahle
us to maintain 200 patients. But there
are in the institution, at this time, up?
wards of JUO, which, if the reduction
hud been made at the beginning of tbe
year, would have necessitated the dis?
charge of about 100. But as one-third
of the n*o>d year will have passed be?
fore any reduction oan be made, the
number to be discharged must he cor?
respondingly larger.
It is a matter of deep regret that the
State of South Carolina, in this age of
liberal ideas and broad humanity, is
unable to afford that aid and protec?
tion to her insane wards that is now
extended to this most afflicted class of
our fellow-beings by every civilized
government in the world. But such
appears to bo the condition of oar
finances that we arc compelled to
either support the Institution open
other peoples' money, or turn its in?
mates out. Of tho two evils, we are
compelled to accept the latter; and to
this end out down tbe operations of
the tustilutiou to a limit that will
brills its expenses fully within its in?
come. I must bo permitted to say,
however, that I cannot regard this m
the light of reform, but rather us u
disgraceful and humiliating necessity?
"a misfortune and a reproach to the
Stute;" a retrogression m civilization,
"ami a wrong to a class of oar fellow
beings which have peculiar claims
upon our aid and sympathy." Very
respectfully, J. F. ENSOR,
Superintendent of South Carolina
Lunatic Asylum.
