Saturday Hornig, ??br aar? 20,1876 Confederate OAeir? I? *!?? Untied ?(?(?I Benoto. Mr. Sargont," Senator from Call- ] fornia, ia reported at length in the Congressional Record in one of the moat "truly IoU," and towards tbe Sooth moat abusive and vlndiotive speeches of the session. We wonder how one small heart ban oontain all this malignity, or one email tongne I utter all this misrepresentation. His! extreme of denunciation of tbe South? era11 people was only equalled by hlB subsorvionoy towards the Administra? tion? and bis approval of all that it has done or intends to do, t:onoerning Louisiana and other States. He took Mr. Sohurz to task for taking Buoh a oourse in the Republican party as led eventually to bis own defeat, and to the election of Oookerell, from Mis? souri, in bia place. The reasoning by whioh ho roaohod this conclusion was about as jost as the opprobrium be seeks to oast upon Mr. Oookerell, be? cause ha bad served in tbe Confede? rate army. It did not suit bim to mention fcha;largo number of other distinguished'; mou who had, in a greater or leas degree, been compelled to break with the Republican parry. Mr. Sohutz, nao particularly vulnera? ble in his view, because a Goo federate officer had been elected in his pl?op. .-. Bab he passes by all mention of tbe loading ligbtB of Republicanism, who were prompt to resist its perversion into an instru? ment of oppression to a whole people, or of adolatioo to the ooe-mao power. Judge Chase, Messrs. Charles Samuer and Horace Greeley felt tbo odium of this party, and gavo it only a cold and reluotant support, discriminating se? verely in what they approved. Messrs. Evarts, the leading Now York barris? ter, and Wm. Collen Bryant, tbe orna? ment of American letters, can hardly any longer be reckoned among tbe! Uithful. David A. Wells, the distill goished writer on finance,, and former? ly Secretary of the Treasury, has lately abjured all association with Radiaals. He charges that the Repobliosn party has failed 'to>; properly administer the Government. He, therefore, has arged a return to Doraooratio princi? ples, end accepted the position of President of tbe Democratic State Convention of Connecticut. It was convenient in 8enator Ssrgeot to over? look these illaatrioQS men. It was ooovenieut ana vastly more safe, it was sore to wake the echoes, to pour abuse upon Oonfederate Generals. But tbe South ?the whole country ? have no can ie to blush for such men us Gordon and Ransom in the Uuited States Senate. They viodioate und illustrate not only Southern, bot Ame? rican statesmanship. Judged even by tbe prejudiced Northern standard, euch men as Sargent, with his two-foot rule applied to statesmen and to mea? sures, and his paltry rush light by which to judge of oharaoter, must pule their ineffectual fires before tbe bril? liant light of tbe gallaut, tbo just and the honorable Gordon. Time will come, aod is rapidly hastening on, when it will be uo discredit, but an honor rather, for a United States Se? nator to be able to olaim that he was a1 Confederate officer, and did his doty in the field bravely, devotedly nod maguanimoosly. In bis letter to the General Assem? bly in reference to the necessity of re? turning a, portion of tbe inmates of the Lunatio Asylum to their respective Ooooties, lo case the appropriation should ba curtailed, Dr. Eusor says he would regard it ns a "disgraceful and humiliating necessity." We have shown that there is no such necessity; that if those who make the laws cut off extravagances, stop leaks, and exercise a proper economy, the insane need not be deprived of a proper support. Tbo very day Dr. Eu6or's letter was read io the Senate? that body passed tbe appropriation of 95,000 for por? traits of Mr, Lincoln and Ohas, Snm ner. These dead men oan better do' without the or&pty andiuaiuooro honor of pictorial nnmnlimnnt. than M>o [u. uabo ocm.of fobtl, clothing, lodging,' and kiqd^y oaro and control.

The timely rnotiou of Senator Dunn, on Thuraduy, to i no ort another ??otion in tho general appropriation' bill, enp plies a singular omission. The Act 10 reduce tbe volume of the pablio debt, passed l?8t,winter, provides for a two mill tax to pay tbe interest upon the consolidation bonds, und if there be any surplus from it, that it abali be used in the purchase of bonds. But the appropriation bill, uutil amended as wo have saifltby Senator Dann, con? tained, ao?corresponding provision. Had it been pasaed as it was framed, the aum raised under the tux eould not have been drawn, us all moneys must be diuwu out pursuant to appropria? tion, nud a moat damaging effect would have accrued to tbo bouda. There in no telling to what an extent tbey would have been beared. Wild speculation woald havo eustnd, to bo followed agaiu by legislation, in order to sot them up once more. A mint of money oould have becu made out of this omis? sion, but Mr. Dunn moved to amend as follows, which w?.a agreed to: "Section 5. For the payment of the January and July interest upon tbe consolidation -bonds of the State issued onder the provisions oi the Act to re? duce the volume of the public debt, each an amount ub may be necessary of tbe proceeds of tbe two mill tax levied iu pursuance of Scotion 3 of said Act, the surplus, if any, arising from said tax t > be applied to tbo pur? chase of said consolidation bonds, in accordance with tbe provisions of Sec? tion 7 of tbe above reoited Act, to re? duce tbo volume of the public debt, approved December 22, 1873." -?-<-???-? "Oob Fool Souls."?We asked a Conservative Senator, a few days ago, how be was getting along, &o. Whe? ther the Senate wax likely to do any good, enaot any good measures, <fcc? He replied by tolling us the story of tbo country bumpkin, who put his neok in one bow of tbe yoke alongside of his ox, whose neck was in the other, in the expectation of breaking him to work gently, and of making an useful aqimal bf bim. Bat tbe steer wan not of bis way of thinking. He bolted and run, compelling bis master to keep even bat' moot relaatant pace with him, and yelling at the top of hie voice, aa he went up and down hill, over brush and stream, "Darn' our fool soula, won't somebody head us?" LoUlGVrtliE COTJIUEB-JoURNAijSMS. A recent lecture by Eli Perkins in saw! to have yielded him the mouificont sum of eleven cent?. A singularly near approach to no cents for his nou sense. A woman recently died in Alabama, leaving to somebody, it is said, an iu heritanoe of no less than 287 hoop Bkirts. That woinau was us well hooped us an importod barrel of French brandy. "Will President Grant," asks an ex? change, "veto the Civil Bights Bill?" What an absurd question! Why, do you suppose that Butler is going to permit any tomfoolery of that sort? "Too MillerituR," says au exchange, "now refuse to set a day when they will go up; the weather in too uncer? tain " If the destruction of this ter? raqueous rotundity?:f the time at which we are to be permitted to sen enwrupt iu flumes the realms of ether glow aud bear heuven'a labt thunder shake the woild below?is to be con tinou'ly postponed on account of the weather?if the little affair is never to come of! according to advertisement and programme?theu we ahull have oar names stricken from the roll of the Millerite.h, nod become the patrons of some less capricious sort of amuse? ment. 8ays au exohang: There is a New York clergyman who has been preach? ing upon tbe Southern question in Huston, and who suys he agrees with Sheridan's declaration during tbe war, that, "if he owned hell aud Texas, he would lease Texas and live iu tbe other place." As ho .doesn't own Texas, hp can't lease it; but we don't see why he should be prevented on that account from living "iu the other place." Nobody is going to prevent him. And he bad better hurry along, too, or that New York clergyman, from his velooity hellwards, will get in ahead of him. Tbe Washington Chronicle rushes to the defence of the Administration, be oaase of certain strictures wbioh have been made opott the woman's face on a oertain issue of the fractional cur? rency. Tbe face is said to be that of a female of easy virtue, and it oertaioly looks badly to give uor o pemi immor? tality upon our currency rags.

The cable brings intelligence that Mr. John Mitohell has boon elected to the British Parliament from tbo County Tipperary, Ireland. It will bo roool leoted tfcat Mr. Mitohell sm lately engaged to leotqr'e in Baltimore, but disappointed his undionoo, the gzoubo given for him bel?g that ho was called to Ireland to ran for tbo offlao to which he has now beeo elected;. Mr. Mitohel ia a native of Dungiven, Oounty of Kerry, Ireland, ' where be was bom Novembor 3, 1815. aud where bis father officiated as a Unitarian minister. He graduated at Trinity College, Dublin, 1836, studied law, und prac? ticed his profession for aix years iu Nowry und Bjubridge. In 1815 be becauic ono of tbo edito-h of tbe Nation in Dublin, und bis urtiolee were no revolutionary as tobring upon the puper a prosocutiou by tbo govern mout. In consequence of the pruning to which his articles were hubaoquently subjected he left thn Nution, and iu 1847 fouuded the United Irishman, au organ which teemed with legal treasou, uuder English luw, resulting in the suppression of thu journal and the iseutenao of its editior to expatria? tion for fourteen yearB. Ho was do ported to Australia, but mudo hits escape, landing in New York Novem? ber 29, 1854. There ho fouuded a weekly journal, the Citizen, until bis failing eye sight constrained him to seek a more oougeuiul climute. He removed to Tenuessee, whore he estab? lished the Southern Citizen, in which, among other measures, ho advocated the re-opening of thoslavu trade. Tbia journal was dfterwards removed to Washington, and in 1860 ceased to appear. Dnring the civil war Mr. Mitohel resided iu Richmond, uud was an editorial contributor to the Rich? mond Examiner aud tbe Richmond Enquirer. Soon after the war ho was imprisoned at Fortress Monroe, und upon his subsequent release went to New York, after inscribing his name upon the register of the prison, adding tbo quotation, "Tbc regne? have bound the honest men." It will be recollected that when ho went to Eng? land, a few months ago, he was uut arrested by the polioe, as was appre? hended from the fact that he was an escaped prisoner. Whether he will be permitted to take bin seat in Parlia? ment remains'to be seen, though, from the announcement of Mr. Disraeli yes? terday in the House of Commons, it seems a foregone conclusion that tL?e election will be declared void. Mr. Mitohel is ad able writer aud a geutle man of strong convictions and un? doubted courage. It is reported that be sympathizes with the home rulers, though the statement comes from Eng? land that that portion of tbe members of the British Parliament known by that name propose to withdraw from Parliament if their peculiar claims are not conceded. At the last election for Parliament forty-four members were elected aa liberals, who, in addition, claimed to be home rulers. The whole House of Commons consists of 558 members. The majority against "home \ rule" is therefore over GOO, of which 38 are Irish members. Tbe policy de? manded by the home rulers is tbut.the not of onion by which tho British und Irish Parliaments were consolidated, seventy-five years ugo, shall be re? pealed, und that the entire bnainess of local legislation in Ireland shall bu committed to uu Irish Parliament ex? clusively. A despatch to tho New York Herald, dated London. February Id, suys: Iu the House of Commons, to-.lay, Mr. W. H. Dyke, Coneervutive, moved for copies of tho uertinoata of tbo trial aud conviction of John Mitobel in 1848, of the official noti?uatiou of his escape uud the procluiaatiou offer? ing a reward for his apprehension; nlso, for copies of tho despatch from the Governor of Van Dienian's Land, relative to tho granting of a tickot-of leave to und thu subsequent escape of Mitcbel. Mr. Nolan, member for U.d | way, regretted that nearly ull tbe Irish members had left the House, believing that busiuoss was over. He culled at? tention to the fact that tho Govern? ment did not arrest Mitohel when he was in Ireland last year. Mr. D'Israeli ?ave notice that he would move next 'hursday a resolution deolaaing that as John Mitohel has boeu? adjudged guilty of felony and sentenced to transportation, as he has neither en? dured tbe penalty nor received a par? don, he is incapable of election to the Houss of Commons, and that a freah writ of election be ordered for Tippe rary Oounty, Ireland. Mr. Sullivun, member for Loath, warmly attacked the Govornment for the precipitancy of its action. He stated that eminent Irish legal authorities supported tbe eligibility of Mr. Mitobel to Parlia? ment. Sir George Bowyer, member for Wexford, protested against tbe course of tbo Government. The mo? tion for the production of papora was adopted by a vote of 174 yeas to 13 nays. Mr. Dyke then moved that do bate on tbe papers be Bxod for Thurs? day next. Mr. John Martin, member for Meatb, gave notion tbat he should move to-morrow for additional papers regarding,tbe compositiod of the jury aud tbe natqre of the proceedings at the trial of Mr. Mitohel, which, he said, would show tbe House tbeoha 'raoter of that transaction., Mr. Dyke's mdtiou for debate on Thursday was adopted. { \ U.'V, <-.: ? .

House adjoarned without aution. Tbe New York Herald, of Sunday, had an account of the proceedings in the Beeoher-Tilton trial for 1900, or for twenty-five years henoo, iu which it gives the appearance of the court, jury, lawyers and all parties still pa? tiently waiting for tho verdiot. It is a very amusing satire. Speaking of R. A. Pryor, the repoterof 1900 saya: "Mr. Mou I ton entered at tbo same time with Gen. Prycr, of the counsel for tbe plaintiff, whoso tall form and gray, flowing hair made him oonepiou ouo. Gen. Pryor's grand-son, Col.
