Wo Ond llio following article*, un
der the above caption, in tho Macon
Christian Advocate, from llio able
|jcu of A. O. Hnygood, 1). D., and it
nft« ix onr sentiments bo well Unit wo
will give the article entire:
It would bo dintcult to clmract.’irizo
justly the? ordinary and average Con
gloovorifs jurisdioi -n in the I telle
nap cam*. All thei Kind legal minds
hero nro of tho opinion llml the p!e*u
to the jurisdiction is good end that no
power to impeach tho ex war minister
rosidee in that body, but suvcral days
will bo sacrificed to rhetoric and logic
before the matter is decided. Thu
House is becoming inoro energetic,
still much timet Inis been e xhausted in
personal explanations from did rent
members who huvo been attuckcd by
tho partisan proas. In tho oommiU
. tee rooms matters are hi coming brisk.
Most of these are daily crowded with
documents, witnesses, and other nee-
•saury facilities for investigation. Wit-
netu.'s are eoustuully arriving hero
for tho purpose of testifying. Homo
of the in tiro in possession of valuable
ovidenee, while others are devoid of
anything worthy the consideration of
the Committees. A careful oetirnnto
si ows that at loasl one hundred wit*
11esses have secured a phmB iut so*
joinn at tho Capital without render
ing uty adequate lorvlcu in roturu.
The icports of most of ihooumiuitleos
will bo volnutiiious, and should they
all go in’o print, it will cost a fabu
lous sum.
As soon as Great J’-ritain announc
ed her intuition of releasing Win
slow, tit ay and Bronl, the tbreo
thieves and forgers, the matter wan
brought up in tho Cabinet here, and
aftir a warm discussion of the ease,
Hcoietaay Fish, with tho unauimoiiB
content of the President and his ad*
visers, notified Kail Derby that the
United Stub a desired to discontinue
tittich> ten of tho Extradition treaty
re'luting to tho < xtradition of crimiti*
hIh. This action has caused consid
erably excitement in official circles
here, and by many the com ho taken
by Great Britain iveoiisidurul a stud
ied insult to tho American govern*
imlit, for the j urpnio of provoking
hostilities. Wo will nut piobubly
i (Kill hot husto to war about it, how*
»vor. Two gnat nations cannot af
ford to tight over tliroo notorious
scamps bo long as a peaceful settle-
merit of the difficulties aim he obtain
ed. Throwing principle aside, Ku«
gh ud ia welcome to tho Hghl-llugt r-
ed iniioreautH. Lot hor opeu bur Bow
street jail doors and set these fugi
tives from ju.iliue free, to prey upon
her already thief-ridden people, if alio
fco chooses. She cm have morn of
the i^uuc ilk, if alio will; more vile
and oven more prominent thieves than
they. For instance, Bosh Tweed, the
prince of six millions, uih»ht lake up
his quart ora on tho banks of thu bou-
nio Thames, and occasionally *1)1111 the
bunnrais of London and "corner" the
boars.
Thereto power will bu exorcis t d
K»ou. Thu President h»)h that tho
enormous induction in the ‘consular
and diplomatic bill will pinch and
eripplo our foreign service to such a
degree as to rollout discredit on the
American people, and as he Iuib no
desire to bo a party to such transac
tion he will promptly veto t!.o meat-
Uro when it oouies to tho executive
oflico for his signature. Tho Presi
dent has a quill taken from tho tail
of a Gray foieht eagle, captured in
tho Rocky Mountains, with which ho
\ igiiB all the measures of Congress,
and liu doea not wish to ubo tho iu-
Htrumcnt in anything that will detract
bo disrespectful to the law-makors of
our nation. And that .Scriptuio which
says, "Thou ahull not speak evil of tho
ruler of thy people,’' no good man
should forget. But it is staling the
case mildly to say that tho Congres
sional debates which reach thu poo*
pie through the public prints ure, as
a general thing, marked by ucithcr
dignity, ability nor usefulness.
Their occasional intense bitterness
is conspicuous. If one would see what
resources tho English tongue contains
for personal and partisan vituperation
bo should read ilia speeches that are
gone rally deliver* d upon what they
call "field days" in Congress. Men
and women crowd the galleries upon
ruch occasions with very much the
same feeling that gathers a mob to
witness a Spanish bull-light. It seems
to ho a question only of horns and
hoofs. It is a sorry spectacle indeed,
when, instead of fairly discussing
great questions, men hurl at each oth
er's heads epithets and nhjurguti
that a better ago regarded as fit only
for heel-gardens and cook-pits. How
it would iihlonish the country if thu
two Houses should discuss and settle
even one question in tho spirit of llio
good and wiso men who, us Senators
and Representatives, once shed bistro
on tho American nnmo I No; we lmvo
ceased to expect high oratory and
|»ii)'0 patriotism in llio <h hates of our
Congress. There wo a few honorable
exceptions; there are a few of both
paitaswlio mo not inse-usil.lo to thu
obligations of good breeding and to
I liu proprieties of tlu ir high station.
They are the more deserving of honor
in that they keep IhoinstlvcM pure "in
tho mieU of a crooked and pci verso
generation.” But what uro they
among so many V
In it not an appalling fuel that wo
wo expect, when wo take up e<ur morn
ing paper, to find that, on yesterday,
men or.cupvii g llio highest position in
tho councils of the nation employed
their opportunity to apeak by calling
each other liuru and thieves V Boons
of them talk and behavoasif they f. It
themselves to be, and know all others
to la-, unmitigated blue kguanla.
Wo am utterly unwilling to bed ovo
the half of the dreadful things they
Buy of each other. But either horn
el the dih urn is sharp, if what tin y
say of cr.eh other is true, whnl soil of
Congrehii have we V .11 what they say
of etie'll other is f ilm', what sort of
CqggrcHs have wo? The ro.idur i
take I h choice*.
Is there a remody ? If so, is it not
in the hands of the people tin msolves?
But huvo tho people virtue tnough to
S ilncn I ho best men in office? They
lid once—long timo ago.

A Into number of tho London Spec
tator in rnmmenting on certain do-
biiit H in Pavlifimunt, said quite istig*-

any good farmer, with a little help from
