THE CAPITOL..
The proceedings of the General As
sembly, yesterday, were as “dry as dust,’
with the exception of the action of the
House, in regard to the case of Pieroe,
of Calhoun oounty. This matter was
disposed of by the House declaring that
no election had been held in that oounty.
No other action could well have been ta
ken. The testimony produced before
the Committee on Privileges and Elec
tions showed that in the eleotion in Cal
houn, nine hundred and ninety-nine
vote* were east. The counting of these
rotes had proceeded to the number of
two hundred and seventy, when the bal
lot-box was stolen, and the counting
ended. Of the two hundred and seventy
counted, Mr. Pieroe received something
over two hundred. For whom the bal
ance of the vote was polled, does not
appoar, nor is there any means of ascer
taining. A majority of the voters, how
ever, sign a statement that they voted for
Mr. Pieroe. This statement was, no
doubt, strictly correct; but, being unac
companied by proper sworn testimony,
it was, of course, worth nothing as evi
dence in the case. There was, there
fore, nothing left for the House to do
but to declare that no election had been
held in the county that Mr. Pierce
claimed to represent.
This decision does Mr. Pierce no man
ner of wrong. If the majority of the
votes polled in the last election were for
him, in all probability he can get the
same votes in the election that will be
ordered, and then be legally entitled to
the seat for which he has lately been an
applicant To have admitted him upon
the showing that he made would have
established a precedent which would
probably have produced much annoy
ance, if not serious damage, in the
future.
The House has passed the bill exempt
ing firemen from jury duty. This will
receive publio sanction, as it can be readi
ly discovered that there is a necessity for
such action. Firemen can better serve
the publie oat of than in the jury box,
and the two are not compatible. The
bill, should it become a law, will be
reckoned a good one, and will in no wise
interfere with the regular course of jus
tices There are men enough, who are
not firemen, to perform all the jury duty
the country needs, while the firemen
should be left free to discharge their
duty as such, at the very moment an
•lam is given.
m. The New York Tribune appears
sometimes to suffer from what appears to
olosely approximate compunctions of
oonscienoe. In a late issue it says: “For
months the developments of rascality in
the management of the reconstructed
Governments of the several Southern
States have been growing moro and moro
conclusive. No intelligent man longer
doubts that these Governments have been
flagrantly expensive and corrupt, that
they have increased taxation, incurred
debt and issued bonds to an enormous
extent The facts are in part concealed
or obscured, but cannot long remain so;
enough is already known to justify the
very gravest apprehensions.” The nodi
cal remedy for all the evils, thus enumer
ated by the Tribune, is martial law. Does
tho Tribune think the remedy adapted to
the disease ? The Southern publio would
like to hear what Dr. Greeley has to say
upon the subject

Harris, the Savannah News boy, says:
“It has cropped out that J. Clarke
Swayze is proprietor of the Maoon Citi
zen. This fact alone is enough to kill it,
and Major Shropshire done a wise thing
when he got out of it.” That is all true,
Harris; but do, dear boy, be as nearly
rsmmatical as you can. Don’t sacrifice
'eter Bullions on the altar of Swayze.

A Nice Little Story.
As pleasant a story as was ever told is
this, regarding an Albany physician, by
a correspondent of the Port Jefferson
Independent Press, writing from New
Haven:
An aged widow in Massachusetts re
ceived a telegram that hor only son was
dying at at Lawrence, Kansas. Notwith
standing her extreme age and feeble
health she must see her son. She un
dertook the journey. The train was de
layed. When it arrived at Utioa she was
taken violently ill. A young physician
assisted her to a hotel, and provided
everything he could for her comfort.
Her;detontion by sicknese and moderate
means would not allow her to pursue her
journey, but for tho kindness of the at
tending stranger. He paid her bills,
assisted her to the ears, and accompanied
her to'Buffalo.
At parting she requested his address.
Two months later this Btranger was
seated in his office at Albany. A stran
ger entered, and, after some conversa
tion presented tho doctor with a Govern
ment bond for $500, os a reward for his
kindness to that old lady, saying: “She
was my mother. She died a few days
after reaohing me, and I recovered. Had
it not been for your kindness she would
have died on the road. I am her son,
who was sick. I am a banker; but money
can never repay the debt I owe to you for
your generous kindness to my dear, good
mother. God bless you I” May God
bless and the world applaud such noble
aots of benevolence ss Dr. T. D. Croth-
ers, of Albany, bestowed on this occa
sion, and which this old lady’s son so
richly rewarded.
