SENATOR .AMES, of Missisdippi, who, in addition to his senatorial honors,cnioys the distinction of being Ben.

This. arrangement| was especially ohjectionable .to Senator Ames for two reasons; first, that he Was a West Point graduate, baving a fhir military record, while Logan was only|a valunteer officer, and second, having sprved tbree years in the eenate he considers he is en titled tothe chairmanship by seniority of service. Failing to be fppreciated, Ames declined further service on the committee, and asked that his|place might be filled by some other man,

The Po-'nl Telegraph Scheme, The telegenph —argues thatb'e journal the Harrishurg Patriot—is by its very pature a private. institation and shou'd never, especially in a republic, be controlled by the government. . . Under our repuhlicun Bystem a -govern. ment telegraph would be a dungerous in strament in the hands of a party in possesstion of power. It would vastly in. crease their patronage, woul:ii"enéble them to scrutinize the correspondence to tieir opponents, and delny or neglect to trans mit dispatehee ivjurious to their interestsThe munagement of the telegraphs by government woruld be not only dearer and more extravagant, but far less sue cessful than under private control: The public would be much less satisfactorily served than at present. The finances of the country cannot endure the new burden: that would be im posed by the purchace and maragement of the telegraphs, Deﬁdféncy bills Increasing in volume would be presented to congress for payment at every session. The great body of the people who rarely make use of the telegraph would thus be heavily taxed to furnish cheap ‘t‘ele'graphic correspondence for the few. Such a policy is wrong in.that government which professes to secure the greatest good tor the greatest number. In France the telegraph is a govern went monopoly and is mansged solely by the agents of the government. Louis Napoleon in 1851 seized the telegraphs and manipulated the wires in his own intertst. While the streets of Paris were ranning with the- blood of patriots, his lying agents telegiaphed to the depart mehts._“thc capital is tranquil.” * Llis agents in the departments sent back the response, “the nation accepts the empire ” The tilegraph thus played as important 4 part in establishing 4 despotism as the bayonets ¢f Leuis Napoleon’s soldiers The lesson'should pot be lost, -

The Word ‘“Selah.” ' The translators of the Bible haye left the Hebrew word “Selah,” which occurs 8o often in the Pralms, as they found it; and of course the English reader often asks his minister, or some learned friend, what it means; and the minister or learn ed friend has most a 8 often been obliged fo confess ignorance, because it is a mut terin regard to which ‘the most leaimed “have by no.meafis been of one mind: The Fargums and most of the Jewish commentators give to the word the meaning, etermilly, forever. Rabbi Kimchi regards it us a sign to (levate the voice The ax. thors ot the Septuagint translation ap pear to have regarded it as a musical note, cquivalent perhaps to the word repeat. A\(:("nrding to Luther and others, it mears silence. Gesenius explains it to mean, “Let the instruments play and the singers stop”+ Somer, uf(-f;’;:" exum'llning all the seventy-four pages in which the word oCeurs, recognizes in every case an actunl appeal to the Jehovah, They are calls for aid, an: prayers to be heard, expressed either with entire distinctness, or if not, in the imperative, “Hear, Jehovah 1" or “Awake, Jehovah!” and the like, still earnest addresses to God that he would remember and hear, etc. The word itself be regards as indicating a blast of trum pets by the priests. Selah, itself, he thinks an abridged expression used Higgnin Selah,— I’liggaiﬁ indicating the sound of strivged instruments, and Se lah a vigorous blast of trumpets. C.

The New Tax Law. o Both houses of our State Legislature gave their assent to the bill taxing National Bank stock for municipal purposes [he opposition to this just measufe came from parties interested in these institu tions, who tried to make it appear that the act, if passed, would be decided un constitutional. To this objection Mr. Cauthorn, the talented young Representa tive fiom Knox county, replied that the Supreme Court of Indiana bad never pascedd upon ‘this question ; but the Su preme Court of the United States had decided that National Banks could be taxed for municipal purposes. There are §6B, 000,000 invested in these National Banks, a large amount of which is owned by cast. ern moneyed men. They are loaning out money to the people at exhorbitant rates of interest, and paying nothing in the way of taxes, while the peop'e of moderate means are taxed upon every cent of their property. !

OXNE of the gentlemen who are now en: gaged in instracticg the public bow. to prevent great conflagrations, maintains that “if & blanket bad been steeped in water and hung up in front of the hottest fire. in Boston,or Chicago, and kept thor oughly drenched by the engines, it would bave remained unscorched to the last.” He enforces his theory by a statement that “if any one will take a piece of paper, shaping it like a cup, filling 1t with water, the paper thns filled may be held close over a gas light and an egg boiled in the water, and the water itself pass off in steam, yet the paper will remain unscorched so lnng° as the water shall be supplied to it.” ] :

THE GERRIMANDERING ACT. Disfranchisement of Tax- ' . Payers. PARTISANSHIP IN A MOST 7 HIDBOUS FORM, The Iniquities of the Apportionment Bill fully set forth.

Address of the Democratic Members of the Indiana Legislature. “Ta the People of lidiana: We, tue Senators and Representatives in the present General Assembly, feel constrained to make to the people of the State a statement of fucts in regard to the passage of an act apportioning the Senators aud Representatives in the General As sembly among the severai counties of the State. The act on that subject, which was passed on the 19:h instant, is an outrage on the people of the State, without regard to party, passed at the hidding of partisan influence, and 18 a violation of the Consti tution of the State of Indiana. The mem bers f the General Assembly who voted for it can not defend their action upon any principle of Justice or right ; and, in the [nterests of party, have committed a great wrong upon the rightsand privileg es «f the people, in direct violation of their dary under the constitution, ~ Section four of article four of the constitution rcgaires that an enumeration of :the white intabitants of the State shall be mnde at’ certain designated periods, and “section five of the same article requires “that the Senators and Ripresentatives in the Generul Assembly shall be apportioned ‘among the severul counties, according to the number of white male wnhahitants in etwk‘\ over the age of twenty one yeurs.” This pro vision of the copstitution is plain and easily understood, and is violated by the met 10 question, It is only necessary to refer to a fow of the provisicns of the bill disfranchising, virtually, the people. in several of the counties of thé State to enable all fair minded men to understand the unfairness of the nct. With this view, we call attention to the following, viz : — Sulfivan and Knox, with a voting popu laticw of 9254, under said act are given one Senator and two Representatives, ‘while Lawrence and Monroe, with'a voting population of 6 646, are given unde this dct the same with a voting popu'a tion 2,608 iess than Sulliven and Knox, — Floyd snd Clarke, with a voting population of 886, ure given oue Senator and two Representatives, while Parke ano ‘Vermiithion, with a populatinan ot 6 305 are given 4 Senutor and two and one bals Representatives, with a voting population 3,081 léss than Floyd and Cinrke Shelin and Jotinson, with a popultion ef 9,074, are given one Scnator and two Represen tutives, while Benton, Newton, J «spar and White, with & ppulation of 6 577, being 2407 less, are given the swune repr senta tion, - Luporte, with a voting pnpu:uli-;l of 6,639, is given one Scoator and on. Representative, - while Lake and Portef . Wwith a voting popnlation ot 6,237, being 322 less, are given ove Senator nd twe Representatives, Dearborn and Franklin, with a voting population of 10,048, are given one Seoator and two Representa tives, while Miami wod Howard, with « voting - prpulation of 8458, being 1590 tess, are given one Scnator and three Rep resentatives., Bartholomew and Brown, with a' voting ipupulatinn of 6515, ar 4‘ given one Senator and one Representative, | while Randolph, with a voting population, of 4,804, bemg 1,711 less, is given th sagie representation. Allen, Adans and Wells, with a voting population of 15 679 are given two Senators and three Repre sentatives, while Marion county, with » voting population of 15,114, being 565 less, is given two Sepators snd four Rep. rosentatives and one joiut Senator with Morgnn and one joint.aepresentative witl, Shelby, ~ Cass an? Carroll, with a voting population of 9,677, are given one Senato and two Representatives, 'while Decatu and Rusb, with a voting population of 8,685 being 1,092 less, are given one Sen ator and two Representatives, and Deca tur a joint Senator with Jennings, and Rush a joint Senator with Fayette ‘and Union, - e

~ The above instances of gross injustice are sufficient to stamp the act. s Tbe enumeration of the inhabitants of the State under which the apportionment sheuld bave been maae shows a total voting population of 378,871. The proper ratio for a Senator under this enumeration is 7,600, and for a Representative 3.800. Bat under the act just passed the ratio to elect in certain districts -is 7,852 for a Senator, while 10 other districts to elect a like Senator the “ratio” is 7,990, a differ ence of 658. In certain districts to elect 4 representative tbe ratio is 8,890, while in others to elect a like representative the ratio is 4,566, a diff-rence of 1,176. And it the representation in the two Houses is combined we find that voters in certain districts can Teturn 95 members upon a ratio of 2 265 each, while the voters in other districts can return only 55 members upon a ratio of 2,888 each, an unjust giscriminution in favor of the f rmer, requiring 623 more votes in one district to ¢lect a member than in the other. This 1s 80 manifestly unju‘ér. to the people ol the State that it is only necessary to men tion 1t without comment to accomplish our purpose. Thegencrnl Assgmibly pos sesses the power to¥ax the people, and upon the Ametican doctrine that taxation and representation shouid go hand in hand, this act is manifestly an cutrage upon the rights of the people of the State. This act cannot be justified if viewed from a partisan stand point, or auy principle of justice. Indiapa isabout equally divided in political sentiment, and after a bard fouglit canvass last fall,in which both parties put forth their best effurts, they severally left the field without either being able tc claim a decisive victory. — And yet in a State thus equally divided, this Lill will give cne party 95 members of the General Assembly and the other only 53, ) We are satisfied with the record we made upon the act and are content to let the fair minded people,of the State deal with the members who voted for it. The bill was pressed with indccent haste through the two Houses under the opera tion of the previous question, whereby debate was precluded and but little opportunity afforded to expose the glaring defects of the measure, The democratic members of the General Assmbly thcught it their duty to remain in their seats, and endeavor by legal means to prevent the passage of the act and iu the event of its passage to appeal to the people, instead of resorting to revo. lutionary means to. defeat it, as has heretofore been done by both parties, They felt that the injustice of the bill wag alone 1 sufficient to defeat it, and that the sense of jastice and propriety would induce a -sufficient number of the majority to unite ~with them and prevent its becoming a law. Indeed, assurances to ‘that effect bad been given by members of the major.ity. Quite a number expressed the opinion that the act was_unjuq‘t and uufair, and should not pass, but say they were compelled to vote for it under the lash of party discipline, or else lose their standing with _ their party, and some voted for it under protest. Enough expressed their opposition to the bill to bave defeated its passage but finally voted for it and thus gave it, 80 far as they could, the sanction of gnw. But we rely upon the diseriminatng justice of the people, and believe -uil fair minded citizens will revolt at this ‘outrage upon popular rights, and speedily relieve the statue book of the disfran chising act, - : At [Signed-by the Democratic Senators and Representatives] = =

The Fifth Avenue Calamity. Last week we made brief mention of 1 the burning of a portion of the Fifth | Avenue Hotel, one of the most stylish institations’ in New York.

An eye witness says there is no doubt that if an alarm had been sounded on the discovery of the fire the girls would have been rescued Tbe geueral impression is that the proprietors in their anxiety to eave the farviture and carpets wanted to put the fire out themselves. The loud, piercing screams ot the girls on the top floor were distinctly "heard in the basement. At this time the fire had made gréat headway, but even' then the hotel employes, whose attention was directed to the great glare, said, “Oh, its nothing,” and again, *these girls will scare the guests/if they goon that way.” General Shaffer, a fire official, says' the alarm was not giveu soon enough. Chiet Eugineer Perley says the location of the fire was firsi telegraphed jto him at 11;18 o’clock. and the firemen were all ou the ground five mivates later. He thinks there was an unaccountablé delay in giving the alarm at the hotel. | The torturous ways of the interior of the building preveuted the firemen from doing ef tective gervice. The foreman of one company says that at'first he was re fused admittance to the hotel, with the excuse that they did not wish a panic among the guests, He finally insisted upon entering. ; * T'he Fire Marshal says nothing like sufficient precaution had been taken o guard against the loss of life in the event of a fire at the hotel: That he finds no efforis are made by the people iu hotels to rescae giils. He thiuks ihe authorities were so concerned abour the baggage of the guests, that human lives were forgotten ; besides the workmen were looking afier baggage instead of attempting to rescue the endangered people. . Au employe says he iueffect ually.endeavored to ‘tear off the screws of the windows where the girls were coufined. Over twenty-five thousaud ‘persons went to the Morgue yesterday . The sights there were of the ghastliest character. The press of ihe city calls for. a’ thorough examination, The Herald heads its leading editorial thus *“T'he Fifth Avenue Holocaust. It was Crimival. Was it murder ?”’ and proceeds in a lengthy article to strongly condemn the authorities ot the hotel for their conduct, Six bodies are yet unrecoguized; three of these can not: be recognized. Some of the bodies look like mummies, they are: so blackened. Three of the roasted victims were found 10 & room as though burned embracing each other, Great indignation is mauni fested toward the authorities at their course in sending the corpes to be stared at in all their horrid disfigurement 4t the morgue which is intended ouly for the reception of the unknown dead. - Some charitable disposed citizens propose aid to the relativee of the barned. : ;

. The New Assessment Law. A bill has passed both Honses of our Legislature that makes a radical change in the mauner of assessing property. The bill is so lengthy that at present we can refer to but a few features of it. : ~ The property of railroad companies, except track and rolling stock, is to be ‘assessed in each county. The track and rolling stock will be assessed by the State Board, which consists of the State officers. \ All personal property is to be valued at its fair cash- value, and each tract or lot of real property. is to be valued at I%\}; cash value, estimated at the price it would bring at a fair, voluntary sale, o : ? Personal property shall be listed be tween the first day of April and the first day of June each year, when re~ quired by the Assessor, and with reference to the quantity held or owned on the first day of April in the year for which the property is required to be listed. Persoual property. purchas ed or acqiiired on the first day ot April shall 'be listed by or for the person purchasing or acquiring it. All real property in the State, subJject to taxation under this act, including’ real estate becoming taxable for the first time, shall be listed and asaessed Lo the owner or owners thereof by the Assessor for the year one thousand eight hundred and seventy-three, and every two years thereafter, with reference to the amount owned on the first day of April of the current year, including all property purchased on that day. o : . The owner of property .on the first day of April in any year, shall be liable for the taxes of that year. The purchaser of property on the firet day of April shall be considered as the owuer on that day. j - The Assessor shall, also, between the first day of April end the first day of June, take a list of the taxable personal property in his county and assess the value thereof as in this act provid« ed, or may hereatter be provided by law, | ‘ In each year in which the real property is listed-and assessed, the person~ al property shall be assessed at the same time such real property is assessed, and by the same person or persona, . Until the general election in 1874, when a county Assessor shall be elected, the Real Kstate Appraisers elected last fall will serve, and they, as well as the Assessors, may, with the con-~ sent of the Auditor, appoint deputies. —South Bend Tribune.: ==

TaE daughters of Horace Greeley are unwilling to accept any eontributions for their personal benefit, but/offer to join in' a subscription for erectinga statue to their father’s honor. For this last purpose a considerable sum was raised some months ago, and the balance required will probably be made up without difficulty.
