Washington's birthday was cele
brated in grand style by the Charles
touiaus. The News and Courier.h&a

of the Stab. Maj. Hugh S. Thomp
son made the oration. '
President Hayes has departed from
the beaten track in his selection of a
Minister to Berlin to succeed Bayard
Taylor. He has formally tendered
the appointment to Rev. Joseph P.
Thompson, a Cougregationalist min
ister of learning and ability, and who
has resided for several years in Ber
lin. '
It is to be hopnd that the House
will'not agree to the action of the
Senate in striking out from the Army
Appropriation bill the clause forbidV
ding the use of troops at the polls.
The House ought never to agree to
that. It means mischief. It means
a repetition of violence and intimida
tion in 1880. The Honsemust stand
like au anvil.
It is only too plain that the Radi-
cals.in Congress are planning a cam- I
paign of outrage. They are despe
rate. If they cannot by trickery
and fraud and violence overcome the
Democratic majority in the House
they know very well that their
chances in the next Presidential elec-
tion will be too slfm (or imccegs.
Their plans have already been clearly

has shown his willingness to admin
ister law for his party. The Wash-
mgten correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun says :
. "It is understood that one or more of the
Democratic members elect to the House
'from Louisiana are to be arrested. Judge
; Woods, in Louisiana, is said to be as de
termined an upholder of the election laws
as any of ' the federal judges, and is ex

A rich scene occurred ia the Senate
on Saturday. It was the most exeit-
ing episode of the session. Senator
: B-side objected to the " oon.ider-
tion of Mr. Stratton'a case, who had
W, nAm:n.4A4 t . , .
been nominated for steamboat mspee-
V tor in one of the New York districts,
Thi. n

to his feet, who then poured out bis
,.,.,. ' ... , , .
sarcasms at will and in the I most wi-
thering tyle. He characterized the
. .
, conduct of Gen. Burnside as officious,
intermeddling, impertinent and imou-
-dint .C A ' anu impu
uent, and when Gen, Burnside at-
ilfE
trA r r VTTT Trv - or
yjjm A.A.lll,""iN IJ,
tempted to interrupt him refused to
yield, and demanded . of the Chair
thai his right to the floor should be
respected. He said io the most wi-
thering style of sarcasm that Gen.
Burnside, not contend with attending
to the affairs of the great State which
had tseut him to the Senate, was con
stantly interfering with matters
which belonged to the State of New
Yoik, and that it was a pity the peo
ple of New York, in consideration' of
his transcendant ability, had not also
requested him to act as Senator for
that State.
Gen!: Burnside : was desperately
angryand in reply told the New
York peacock that ho could not
reply in the same style for lack of
language, but he would say that he
was willing to put his word against
that of a man who all those who
were associated with him knew him
to be a constant and an habitual pre
varicator and a teller of untruths.
At this the Chair rapped Gen.
Burnside to order very vigorously,
and Senators Anthony and Don
Cameron rushed around and secured
an immediate adjournment. (

.OPERA HOUSE.
"Irelautt as b lrlah . People.
The very large audience that was present
last night to hear the lecture of Col. Dun
can K. McRae on ' ''Ireland and the Irish
People," was a distinguished compliment to
one of the must gifted men of our day. It
was his third lecture within a few weeks.
and yet tbe largest audience that has greet
ed him was present last night to hear his
very fascinating, able, thoughtful and elo
quent defence of Ireland and her people.
It was much the largest f crowd we have
seen at the -Opera House during the winter.
Not only was every set occupied, but
chairs had to be placed in tbe aisles. The
audience was intelligent aid appreciative to
a high degtee, and the entertainment was
rich, diversified, exquisite. It was one of
those royal banquets of wit and eloquence,
of fun and drollery, of description and re
flection, of argumentation; and illustration,
that could only be served up by a man of
rare versatility and munificent endow
ment, who had thought much, read
widely, seen much of the world,
and studied human life and human
character under its manifold ' phases with
the eye of a close observer, and with the
reflective qualities of a philosopher. From
a range deep and wide and varied be drew
materials for the splendid panorama he
unfolded to our eyes. The lecture was a
reply in part to some of James Anthony
Froude's assaults, upon Ireland. The lec
turer not only met tbe gifted and marvel
lously graphic and vigorous English histo
rian upon his own chosen arena and with
the weapons he used so dextrously, but he
availed himself of that inexhaustible fund
of raillery and satire which he possesses, to
break the force of his prejudiced state
ments, and to gain for himself a coigne of
vantage. Col. McRae did not deal in mere
bold assertion or empty declamation. He
displayed throughout not only an extensive
acquaintance with Ireland, but be showed
himself at home in the history of those
peoples most intimately associated with
that great and heroic little island Whilst
with some of his judgments we cannot en
tirely agree, we must ackaowledge that he
made out an admirable case for his client,
and placed the accomplished and eloquent
assailant liors de combat. The tributes to
Ireland, which occurred in many places,
were just and conceived in a high style of
Pegync. mere were some spienaia
mi
luw uwwiiiwue " eiuiwwuci.u wuu
sweet wild flowers; some masterly word
painting; some fierce and incisive denun
ciation; some rollicking, abounding humor;
seme frolicsome play; some gamboleings of
wit; some displays of genuine and touching
pathos. ' His description of the battle of
Hastings was a fine piece of workmanship.
The reader of Tennyson's wonderful de
scription of Senlac (the correct name of the
battle) as it is given in the fifth act of his
magnificent drama of Harold the bestin
two hundred years save Shelley's grand
Ctnci was only the better prepared to ap
preciate the beauty and power of the battle
scene, and the dark night of storm that fol
lowed, when the crazed and devoted
Edith wandered among the dying and the
dead until she found her lover and king to
Whom she had been secretly marriad.
It was quite a manifestation of literary
and artistic skill as he presented to the
kindling fancy of the audience the brilliant
succession of pictures, i in language now
lofty, now musical, now picturesque, the
whole woven with masterly ability into a
rich and continuous fabric.- There was a
I felicitous blending of light and shade, a
J happy commingling of the scenice, the
I historic, the classic, tbe artistic, the humor
ous. At times we were reminded of those
1 ou""" wU.u m ia.wm.jr appun
to
John Milton s wondrous prose,
a penect neia ot cipin- or gold, sun
with gorgeous broidery.'
Ireland offers indeed j a rich field to the
competent , and patient gleaner. Her peo
pie have exemplified in their lives many of
the noblest and most engaging traits that
adorn and glorify humanity. The multi
tudinous billows of thought that roll in
every human soul are tinged with tbe hues
of outward life. The Irishmen of to day
reflect in their eloquent outcries against
oppression, and in their songs of passion
and love, the wine-press of wrath and trib
ulation through which their ancestors have
passed all along the centuries.
A word more, writing hurriedly as we
do. The people of Wilmington are under
obligations to Col. McRae for the three ad
mirable and elegant literary entertainments
which he has given them. As Nick Bot
tom, the Weaver, said on one occasion
"We wish more of youi acquaintance, good
Master Cobweb." (We do not quote exact-
i j . . w -. - eonv of ghakesDeare at

AN OPINION OF GEN. EARLY. OF VIRGI
NIA. In reply to an inquiry suggested by a news
paper article, Geo. J. A. Early, of Virginia, whf se
reputation as a legal disputant is second only to his
military, says :
"I know that by the terms of its charter, The
Louisiana State Lottery Company is bound to pay,
and does ; annually pay, into the State Treasury
$40,000, which is appropriated to one of the noblest
charities in America the Charity Hospital in New
Orleans. I found the Company operating under
that charter, which has the force of a contract, and
uader the Constitution of the United States it can
not be interfered with in the prosecution of its bu
siness until the charter expires by its own limita
tion." i
A CHANGE THAT IS A BLESSING There is
no more remarkable feature, in tho progress ef sci
ence, and ho greater change in any professional
practice, than is illustrated by the contrast of the
medical system of to-day and thirty years ago. Then
all medicines were copious in quantity and nause
ous to the taste. To take them was a trial to adults,
and an overwhelming horror to the young. New
most doses are small and concentrated, and free
from offensive flavor. Until recently, however, one
of the most valuable and efficient of remedies was
detestable to nearly all for whom it was prescribed,
COO LIVER OIL, the only cure for wasting de
cline of vital energy, and certain means ef renew
ing healthy tissue, disgusted those to whom it
should have done most good. SCOTT'S EMULSION
OF COD LIVER OIL with the HYPOPHOB-
PHITES OF LIME AND SODA removes this nnlv
objection. Its flavor is reallv Dleasant. its nourish
ing power marvelous, and there is no finer nerve
ana Drain tonic in the world.
