"DUfrace."
Senator BICB,ofiark^exfiressea asebti 'ment for which the friends ofoducatiod in all parU of the State will thank him,when he declares that the only proper, couree to pursue is to finish the Normal Sshool building at once, and put the school in operation. He showt a true appreciation of honor when lie asserts that "any other course will bo a disgrace to the State."
Why "a diggrce" Becauso-the State having adopted the plan on which- the building ia being constructed, and hnv ing accepted the liberal donation of Terre'Haute, is bound in honor and good faith to carry the work forward to completion. To Violate that pledge of faith would, indeed, be "a disgrace, to the State."
But there is still another reason why the State will court "diagraceL" if it eWl fail to complete the building and put the school in operatioc, and that reason is that the institution is greatly needed to educate teachers for our public sohools.
With the exception of the cilies and larger towns Ia Indiana, her free'schools are plodding along half a century "behind the,times With a rioh abundance of native talent, whioh could be made available in the business of teaching our children, we yet hare few good teachers except thoio who are induued to come here from other States, We honor and are grateful to thein fbr Thalr 'serviees in our behalf, but we despise the niggardly policy that renders their services necessity ry. The young men and women of Indiana, particularly the latter, he6d employment, and wo rob them of the means of •elf-iupport when we^eny them facilities for making their talenti available in profession f«rawbieh .tbey vo. natur.ajly adapted.. jj.-.nn s.-, iliw
We do a mean and contemptible thing when jve make it necessary to publish to tho world the fact that this great,c-Tich, noblejit&ta mtui import MMhtrt for htr thildrtn, because ^he has no sohool where her own- sons and daughters enn be trained for that profession
Perhaps some' of our legislators may •ee no "disgrace" in the faot that whenever
trdined intellect
is wanted, in tb#
teacher's desk or in the pulpit, we are very likely to go abroad for It, because we have only tho-.raw material here a', home. It is probable that those gentle' men enjoy the present relation between this Stato and the East, a relation which makes ui dependent not alone for teach. epe, but for almost everythicg else, except some of the produotaf of the soil and a few of the coarter manufacture?. It is quite likely that such Solons will be con* tent to see the people of this State mainly devoted to raising hogs, year after year^ while our Yankee friends kindly supply us with educational facilities and all the manufactured articles that we require,-r-Such men are incapable of seeing any better destiny for our State than tbat of being a mammoth hog pasture and oornfield. Not that we would disparage agricultural occupations or speak disrespectfully of those who follow them, but we would eneourage tbat, independence which is easily attainable, and without which we may not hope to tacape "disgrace."

The character of Moan, leader of the biacka out of political Egypt, not -having -been attempted en the Washington boards, this last movement, whieh aeema to be intended to curry favor with" what might have been "hia people," ia auggdstive of Mr. JoHNBoN'a trying to fool the colored folka when he gets baok to Tenneasee. -His latest veto is, atrange to aay, founded upon the remarkable suggestion tbat by a resolution passed by Congress, concerning District of-'Coltrmbia affair?, soma injury may be done to the colored residents of that section. And it must be said in favor cf thia veto message that tho reasons assigned are well stated, seem plausible, and may be judteious. At all events the statements of. theTresidont aro such that there seems to be reason' in them, which suggests that at least they should be entitled to a respectful consideration. This may possibly be the last of tho President's vetoes. If ao, unless he has misstated the facts, it may also be declared to be tFe best.
TaxSt. Loufa Democrat in an article* whicli we published yesterday snys: "The Terre Haute Expreta, echoing not the opinion of the Republican piny, but that timid polior-which bar made Indiao^ a close and doubtful State, opposes the submission of a suffrage amendment."
There are two suggestions which we h»ve to. make to our ft. Louis- cotempo-' rary: 1. It la possible that the EXPRESS understands the opinions of Indiana Re* publicana on this question of suffrage quite as well aa any paper outaide of the Stato. It know*," at least, the Views of Republican! in thia testion of the State, and they may, as a general ru'e, be accepted as a fair exponent of tl« opinions of the party in the State at large: 2. If as many Democrats in Indiana were disfranchised as there are in that position in Missouri, thia would not be "a doublfu Slate," and Republican papers could safe* assume tbat bold, radical tone which well becomes the chief Radio.1 organ
Missouri But as we have neither the means nor inclination to increase our majority by the disfranchisement of the opposition, we find it safer to grasp only that whioh is attainable, leaving our Radical friends ih Missouri—where negn suffrage has just failed by majority of 18,817 notwitbttanding the disfranchisement of their rebels—to prtas forward with tbe impTements oPtEe pioneer capers

While he will uot object to profound learning, brilliant attainments, and great service*, in the Republican oau-e, he will demand unquestionable honesty, especially in every person who is 10 be connected with the collection or disbursement of thejpublic.revenue.

WOBTH, who, while acting as Superintendent of the Assay Office in New York City, some years ago, was asked to give his opinion a) to the integrity of a distinguished politician. ''-He is-a-good Democrat," said BoTTaawoBTH, "but be is not a safe man to handle bull! n." In these degenerate days of papor money, tests will not have the same ring-t but they bat doE-n years ago.

The late Bep Butler,
Correif ondenco Cincinnati Chronicle
WASHIMQTON,
Feb. 15.
The manner in whieh Mr. Butler was disposed of by the House in its vote on his reaolution to censure Mr. Wade was a fiU ting rebuke to an ambitious disorganize?. Tbia conduct stands out to view, now that the affair la over, aa unparalleled in reckless folly and selfishness. No one could witness the acene on Wednesday, and the part taken by the chief actor in the discussion of the two following days without feeling that the man had been greatly over-catimated as to his abilities and as to his honesty the best commentary on that was the quick simultaneous laugh of derision that echoed from the reporter's gallery, when be placed his band lmpreaslvely on hia wai9tcoat, and said with what seemed like a tone of mockery, "I acted for the good of the country, as I. thought, as I always do." In splto of the injunction—nihil de mortuis nisi bonum" —freely translated, "Don't disturb a dead man's bones,"—those who have most closely observed the course of "the gentleman from Massachusetts," insist that he meant something more than to mcroly get up an ionooent excitement, in which he should appear as. the leader of the Houso, in the presence of the assembled thousands.—
Their theory is thit he had a-, deeper-laid plan of action than that—a plan to prevent entirely the announcement of tbo election of General Grant to tho Presidency. In aupport of this, they pointed to the {act that he offered every iodigai ty that words could infiict'to tho Senate, and 'connect his conduct there with his previous known hostility to the President-elect. The fact is recalled and commented on, tbat Gen. Butler wrote and printed a book of eight hundred pages or more to crush Gen. Grant that a newspaper carrespondent was permit ted to examine the book and "review' for publication that Gon. Butler sent tbe proof-sheets of this nowspaper re vi^*, ostensibly to make some corrections, and cn receiving them retained posses sion of them and suppressed, for the time being, the review and the book, as if biding hia time to assault General Grant at aome future day with more damaging •ffeofe..
Before the acenes of Wednesday oct curred in the House there was a feeling among some prominent Republicans,
growing out of Gen. Butler's course in that body that he was masking his hostility toward the President-elect for the purpose of making it more efficient after tffe inauguration. It is known that as a hater, he has no^equalj and ho stands accused of having carried that emotion ao far toward the man who "bottled" bim up

As AGSNXRAL rule, legislative bodios gain nothing by noticing the attacks of newspaper correcpondents, while they are almost eertain to lose their dignity and oompromiae their self-respect. In our judgment, too much time, that ought to bo valuable, haa been wasted by the'preacot General Assembly of Indiana, in very undignified fretting and worriment over What aundry members of the lobby' press* gang have aaid.about them. The Legia1 at are, individually and collectively, will be judged by ^he work accomplished during the session. That will be'permanent for good or evil, while the flings of malicious scribblers, though they may not be vary pleasant to bear in silence, are but a thing of day, a tranaient "sensation," intended to gain notoriety for thair author?. If passed over in silence, this intention is baulked, bnt if a fuss ia raised, the author of the' attack accomplishes bis purpose.— Let onr Solons try to possess their souls in patience. It is the usual fate of meritorious service to encounter abuse, and the extent of the abuse is generally in proportion tp the merit of the service ren« deroi.: The Senate of this great Commonwealthy fuming and frothing over the in a re on
Jo set spies on his track to
watch him for evil in his social life and private intercourse with others, and with having kept accurate reports of those employed by him for further reference.
Such gossip would not have been deemed of much account had*Mr. Butler remained true to the agreement by which the two Houses undajtnob to settle the Georgia case in advance of tho mooting in Joint Convention, but when men are puxzled to account for what seems like an almost insane course on the part of a man who has achieved ao much notoriety, they recall with interest whatever seem* likely to throw light npon it.
I said that Mr. Batler'a abilities appeared,Jn the light of recent events, to have been over-eatinated. In support of thia view/ look at tfte lamentable weak* neas of hia arguments, and hia utter failure, in bis efforts at reply to Gen. Garfield and Mr. Bingham, to a^y anything original or successful by way of repartee, though he was almost stimulated to phrenay by the position in which ha Ibund himself, and the hundreds of spectators who, knowing his reputation, were looking for something unusually brilliaat-
Certain it ia tbat hia ill-timed and pas* iionato display has done mora to injure General Butler than all tha aisaulU of hit enemies bad dona or could possibly have done, and ba will enter hia tersa vf serv. ico ia the Ferty-flrat Coagress ahem cf much oftheatrangth heretofore oaaeased by him, and witk far leu power eithar for good or evil than he woald have enjoyed if he bad bean less ambitious to exhibit himself in the capacity of leader of the House
Where a Woman's POwdr Lies. Tho true power of woman is tha resistless power of the affections. In asserting this, am I attempting to mask the great question of our day with a "glittering generality Am I disposed to deny any lawful claim- which woman may make for a luoro extensive recognition of her rights, or a larger field for her power No I am cot doing any such thing Let women do whatever her faculties can achieve—let hergo wherever her instincts demand—if she truly follows her instincts, am sure she will not go wrsng. I am sure of thit), also, wherever man may lawfully go, woman may lawfully go.— Wherever woman ought not to be, it is a shame for a man, it is a shame for humanity,. to be. L. merely insist upon thi.', that whatever woman may accomplish in the world, with brain or hands, will draw its vital efficacy, its talismapio virtue, from tlio heart and that her strength, in all these various shapes of action and of influonco, in its root and essence, will bo the strength of the affections. The hiding of woman's power must ever bo in tbo fervor and steadfastness of her love. And her most triumphant cbaractoristic ia love, culminating in its highest expression—that of selfsacrifice. A thoughtful writer has observed tho contrast between the sexes even in their play.'. "The boy," he says, "gets together wooden horses and a troop of tin soldiers and works with them. The girl takes a doll and works for it." That woman's great peculiarity—the work self-sacrifice—working for others.— Rev. Mr. 6/iapin.

After much torturing experience I come to this eonclusion, that nine in ten do not know the value of time, nor the morality of a proAise, Why is not an engagement to meet me at 9 o'clock as sa:red as any bond? Why is not the understanding that a church service a lecture commences at a given hour, an acceptance on your part, if you go, or an agreement, and why are you not falsa to by yottf tardiness, and why are 'you not a bad friend becauso of all tho little miseries your infidelity entails? Tho world, intercourse, affection, great affaire, little details, are cursed prosp»ii ty, temper, character, life jeoparded, lost want uf punctuality, ffnpunctual people are Everywhere, and everything encourages them. It is taken for granted tbat nothin"! will be "oa time,," and so everybody holds off to insure it. The first ten minutes of a religious service are apt to be a martyrdom to preachers aud punctual people. There ought to be some contrivance by which the tardy shall be made as uncomfortable as tbey, and then we might hope a change. But in this world it too often happens that a comfortable stolidity possesses the sinner, especially if his sin be fashionable, and the sufferings come upon those who must take their comfort out in doing their duty.—J. F. W. Ware.
The Cat aud the Mirror.» At the fire on Fourth street, yesterday, a numterof men gallantly entered the boarding house of Mrs. Ford, and by hard labor succeeded in saving the greater portion of her furniture. A young ma% who had been very active ia heaving out beds, chairs, tables and trunks, wont up into the third story, whore he found a looking-glass, a cat and a piece of twine. His first impulse was to attach the string to the'looking-glass and lower it to the pavement* but pussy called oa him in such pitying accents that he changed bis mind, and throwing the mirror out of the window tied the s'.ii!^ to the caudal appendage of the felino creature, and lowered her gently to tho ground. The act was witnessed by a large crowd of spectators. The oat complained a little at first of the treatmont, but comprehending the necessity of tho case, submitted with gi od graco, aod seomed glad enough to get her feet on lhe ground and her tail out of the string. We did not learn the namo of pussy's friend, but ho proved equal to tbe catastrophe.—St. Louis Democrat.

A Jealous Bjiidea comes to tirief. It cannst be denied tbat tbe presence of the "green-lsyod monster" ia as frequently perceived in high at low estate.— not even beauty, wealth and refinement ate exempt from ita ravages. Indeed, pretty young ladies are, it is said, peculiarly liable to tho queer disease. It creeps into tbeir hearts in auch insidious disguises that the artless little beauties are not aware of its existence until it crops out in sutfi passionate excess that it.even frightens tbem to contemplato it'. No doubt it was precisely in such a way that a young lady living in New Orleans became amenable to its influen.-e.
For some time past she has regarded a youth, named Charlie, with special favor. Charlie possesses many attractive qualities, He dressea in tbe latcat mode, wears an "Alpine" and cultivates a muelache. Tot he is fickle in disposition and whilo hia lips are attuned t* the harmony of sweet words, and a low passionate recitnl of love's anguish, for the fair Julia's ears, hia mind ia enumerating tha attractions of tbe pretty littje widjw around tho corner.
How, tbia widow is no friend of Julia or abe of her. For her lii# tha oan't see what Charlia admiras in her. Indeed, Charlie deniea any apecial interest in tho coquettiah beauty, but ha goas to seo her none tba leu. Tha faot that Julia disapproved it had no effest in changing his practice and, distracted by jealousy and longing, with® woman's curiosity, to know what it meant, Julia determined she woald find out.
To thia and she forgot her self-respect and became a spy. It must be confessed that the. pretty Julia even became an eavea dropper. Seeing Charlie entering tha front door of tbe cosy little cottnge whareia tlie widow abided, she hastened to almit herself into the yard by the rear gate, and peeped in &t the window. Just undernoalh tbe window, howovcr, wa* a liltla square box, not noticed particularly at first, and on which Julia stood to get a look into the room.
Sure enaagh her worst fenrs, xfote realiBod. On a sofa, just large onough itwo, tho pretty widow aDd Chaniie sat, with heads inclined, and a low mohotone issuing from the lips of either: -tailing plainly as word? might have done, cf love's cohfesska. In the anguish of the moment, Julia stepped baCk, the .box turned over, and innumerable angry little insects issuing fro a it, proclaimed it a beehive. Of courEo they stung her.
Fierco as mimic warrior, tloaDgry littie demons laid hold of the shapely t.*xtramitios, popping a sting in tho piutnp little hand, and then in tbo rounded oheejc, atfd oven the siikon hrua was no protection to tho exquisitely fashioned ankles. What wonder that ebe sereftnml
Quick as thought pealed out her accents of terror and pain. Sho rolled on the ground and crushed ruthlessly in mud und miro her htincjs, feet and body. The bouse was alarmed, and the inmates same rushing out to learn the cause of tHe uproar. And even tbe impudont Charlie looked cunningly over tho ehoulrs of the widow but even that might have been pardoned bad he not asked, with apigrent sympathy, "if tbo bees had slung her
But why protract tho scene? Harts, horu and camphor were e&lled into requisition. Her hands Swathed in flannels, and poisoned by tbe sting of tbo bees, consigns both Charlie and the widow to very disagreeable lives hereafter. Nevertheless Bhe protests they will never, make her jealdus again. utoi* mi 1—
