An eye witnois of veracity my: "I saw more rctpocUhle women In stilted in the nper-room than I ever saw even at the l runcli bull.

It Is not too much to say that this is diararoful to New York, f-uch an overturning of de cency would be ImjxMiiihln In any city at Iho South, even lu New Orleans during Ilia Mardi Gras festivities. In this auction, whatever turn may be by and to themselves. In public pluces decency always enforces obedicuce. A man could not llvo mlnuto who would defalno or attompt to degrade a woman ia a public ballroom, especially tlie daughter of a woll known citizen. In New York and Chicago and possibly Philadelphia and Boston such things are possible bo- causo In each of thorn there ia a bruto population, brutal and sodden In liquor and lust (o whom a groat puhlio occasion alfords a licenao and iustiflus thoir cousins ol the police in laxity and un re straint.

So fur as the new Agricultural Depart ment ia concerned the (armors of the coun try bavo no reason to grumble or growl. Secretary Husk, while yielding pcrhaiie to the so-called claims of the olllco grabbers of his party, is so far as the direct intercuts of the agricultural chowes are concerned, following In the lines laid down by his pro decessor, Secretary Column, who, we be lieve, gavo general eatisfaetion. llo has effectively promoted the ono great purjioHu of national cxjcrimcut stations which Mr, Column was Initiated to by tho admi ral ilo resulu following iiHn the man agement of tlio stations eMlabli-tlied by several of the Western HUU.it, Iho boiiuliii.il results of which are shown by the lint of tho . rimait Motion llitllrliiii Just h'celvod. From this wo learn that all ll io Slates and one Territory, Da kota, now have cxcriiiicit stations, sev eral Mates two and one (I.ouImIiiiiu) Uireo, innking a total of forty-six, and with brunch stations sixty. In their con duct and management more than 37'J sctentlHta and ngriculluriHta aro employed lu conducting scientific: aud practical x- eritiieiits on soils, tillage, man urea, crops, foreatry, stock-feeding, dairying and horti culture. For this puriMMM tho National ( iovorn men t appropriate this year f.V,l.i,. OK) aud the Slates about f lirt.CKM), muk- ng a total of f7:,0,Xxj. Tho htations are nearly all of them in cIishi con ueclion with the Suite Agricultural (ollcgca and are in cuusliiut com- municnllon with tho Agricultural iKc partinont, making monthly, and In some cases, weekly reports. This brings the lVpnrttnclit intocloae con irh lion with the fanners of tho country as their co-ojiera lion and observation are invited and their eieriotices ilelerrod to. Such Institu lions for arlcntiflc inveetigution ill behalf of agriculture have U-cn long in ojH-ratiou in Kuroto.

The enterprise has enlisted in its support the great uuiverM tioa, tiesidva the colleges uientioiied, and tho ablest Inveatiaiors in the country.

We have only to go to Chl ago, and there, as we stilted in Tin: Aiihl of Wednesday, we shall lind that an Inebriate named lt.il.etl Hums, a man of otherwise fair physlcl.il con diiion, wss literally murdered by throe at- tetulaiits named Kit hanlson, (gsn an I'encliri, with the couseiit, In greater or less degree of the Superintendent, Dr. Kernsn, and his Assistant, Dr. K bnmsn The facta of this case of revolting murder arvgiwn clsowhero in a telegraphic dis patch from Chicago as they were trough out before a coronur's Jury, Charles Beck a reporter ol Iht limrs, being the principal and a circuuisuttiti.U wtnoaa. At flrst tho authorities of the Cook County Asylum were ilisi.i to laugh down the testimony of Bock, but aupportod as It is by collateral facta, it "mocks at their calamity," and has iuduced the Grand Jury to uudorlako an Investigation, on a searching scalo, of the management of this "hell," all who outer which leave hope behind. By tbo testimony of Beck tho trio, Richardson, Crognn and I'cacha, aro nothing hotter than cold blooded mur dor cm. And so it is truo today, as tho poet, Iiobort Burns, wroto nearly a century ago, that "man's inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn." TIIE RULES OF THE HOUSE. Die WaiJiimjton Fori In its issuo of the 22d ult. publishes the views and opinions of many joornnlist and public men as to tho nccesxity for a modification of the rules of tho House of llepresenlutives, w hich aro often exercised in an arbitrary way and so as to restrict, hampornnd hinder legislation. "I object," has many a timo iuiieded and defeated Important measures and "tho previous question" has boon frequently rosorted to as a gag law from which there was no apjieuL There hnvo Ixicn occasions no doubt when these rules have operated with benefit to the country, but in tho bauds of mora objectors, who use the power to object to punish a fellow member or put needless opposition in tho way of an opposing party, it bocotnes an odious tyranny. And so when "tho provlous question" is culled to cut ofT debute and prevent intelligence from assorting itself, it, too, becomes a ty ranny that thero ought to be some way of suppressing. As Tht reterubnrg Jmlu: puts It, "ono man, or threo men, should pot have the jiower to defeat legislation de manded by tho other ."21 or legislat ors." But this is just w hut results from the rules aa they stand. Kx-Congrerwmun II. 1. Money, formerly ol Mississippi, a gentleman w ho had many years' cxeri ence ns a member of tho House,, confesses that "the rules of the House of Represent atives in eirect, and partly by design, ob struct business by iuvesting a few with i veto power. In fact, business is reduced to a unanimous consent hisis. Tho more or less arduous and Intelligent work of committees is brought to naught by some man who assumes to be more honest or better informed than the committees who have reisirted the matter Rule aro also intended to protect minorities in their rights, but they should not bo so con structed as toconstittttoachihin the hands of a minority to destroy the rights of the majority. Thero is no good reason why the House should abdicate lis power iu favor of a few men unless It distrusts its own honesty nnd coniefency. It seems ridiculous that tho House should protect itself against itself, and that it should ac cept tho guardianship of the flrst volun teer. The rules need nmeudmeut badly; they should facilitate business, protect ml norltlas, and keep the power In the House where It In-long v" The Washington eor- resMiiiilents of several of tho leading pa )er of the country express- themselves to tho same cllect, aud not a few of tho editors of tho principal Democratic news I a a-ra. With such a Ix-ifinning 7w 'oaf ought to lo able to cllccl its object and so cure a modification of the rules, members of both tho great parties hi tho House co orating to that end. ASDUF.W JAVKsilS. A mel ting ia to be held tonight at the Merchants' Fxchnntfo for the purpiou? of organising a Memphis Uraueli of the Indies' llcrniitago Association, to whom the la-gislature, at the instance of Senator Crews, recently gave the Hermitage, the Jacksou tombs, and twenty-live ncrca of the estate that "Old Hickory" was justly so proud of. The association Likes this gift with the understanding that the place and space thus allotted are to bo cured for and maintained in the beat possible man ner, nnd that in all re!! the Her- tniiagn Is to be made a Mecca for all American, just as Mount Vernon, the homo of lioorgti Washington, Is. Asido from tho local or olitical prejudice that make the average Tcnucasccsn venerate the memory of Andrew Jack son, as next to Washington, the greatest nan the cotmtrv has yet seen, there ran be no doubt with any ono conversant with the history of the country that hn was its Mvior at twociitleal ierisls when he successfully defended New Orleans against a IVrliish army under l'oi keiiham, and when he removed the public depimils from the United Slate Bank and thus compiled Iho establishment of sn Indo pendent treasury, llesldee this, he reu deled great service in forcing tho Silbjec tlon of tho Indians, and ultimately driving the Spanish out of Florida. Those aro among his national service. In the State ho was a ower, and dominated and in (1 noticed it aftiiir as no other man I fore or since hi day has done, except John Sevier, whoso rvtualns are shortly to find honored intermeiil in tho soil ho de fended so long and so succemfully. Tho ladies of the Stato iu becoming the cus todians of the lletmitago havo assumed a great trust But It Is ono they ran easily lie equal to if they are sustained by Iho j-cople whose patriotism is involved In their work. To this end a U-glmiing la to bo ina.lo tonight In an effort, as we have aald, to establish hero a branch of Iho Her mitage Association. Tub An rt urges a large attendance and that the ladles of tbo city go prepared to do their part of the work and send to the ladle of Nashville by Senator Crews an assuring uiesnago of co-ojeratlou. If they orgsn Iso and in every county In the State similar or ganlsatlons are cflccted, the patrlotlo pur pose had In view is assured, and the Iler milage may I made a museum as well as a Mecca, where everything of historic value connected with or associated with, or that belongod to Gen. Jackson, may be gathered and preserved for all coming time. The mooting tonight should be re assuring and docisive of results. A nrffijlO ALLIANCE.

But this aside, the fuct of tho organization of the Alliance, la a most encouraging one, and it is to bo hoped it will bo conducted solely with a view to tho purposes that called it into existence. It is by Industry, thrift, frugality and education that tho negro Is to nao. It Is only by these agencies that ho can ever hope to tnako himself acknowledged as a factor iu any sense in the political life of tho South. It Is reported from Washington that If. the matter of appointing more than 100 Consuls, tho President snubbed Secretary Blaine, and wits sustained in tho snubbing by tho Cabinet. And yet the Secretary and tho President seem to understand each other, and tho Administration seem to lie working as smoothly as though there had never luen a word of ditTcrcuce be- ween Vho chief and the premier. i ' i THB BOUIHKUN BOCIKTT Of New York city Hue a Very Pleasant Houe Warming;.

Tbe weather was glorious, the track lino and tha racing ex cellent. The event of the day was, of course, the $2,000 ewecpstuko, and when the great son of Luke Blackburn camo past the grand stand, a about went up from the multitudo which thoroughly attested his great popularity. The race was given to his coinpauion, Come to Taw, to prevent the former being penalized, but it is generally bolieved by horsemen that Knott could have made the distance in the neighbor hood of 2:00 had ho boon givou his head.

Lovely Deooratlons Skill fully Wrought Into Artlstlo Dealarns, Charmingly ana ceauwiuuy uostumea Ladles and Abundant Bsn-eabments. That the now, handsome and spacious Loo Building, Main street, between Adams and Washington, was able to contain the peoplo who applied for admission last night can only be explained by the fact that the general public was not aware of tbe varied and lovely attractions afforded within It. It was the opontng night of tho "Rain bow Festival," ttndor the auspices of the Women s Christian Association, with ull its branches. Tub Appeal yesterday referred to the elaborate decorations, skillfully designed and placed iu position by the cultivated ladies having tlie affair in charge, but the general beauty of tho hall was enhanced an liunilred-loia last nigtiu luere were the brilliant gas and eioctrle lights, tho ruvs from which were given a soft and mellow radiance through rcllection uon vnri-colored booths, decorated lillars and chandeliers, the brace it rain ows suspended about midway of the hall. and tho beaming faces of pretty maidens and stately matrons, dressed in colors,' w ho wai tod to extend a cordial welcome to all visitors. First to the right, upon entering the ball, is the flower table, as part and purcol of tho Wamnn's Exchange booth, color, violet. Iho ladies In charges ol tuts are Mesdumcs Iluinruoud, Selden.

The iiper hall was f reserved for tbo calisthenic exorcises and drilling, which was creditably furnished by a class of twenty-four young girlaand the Merchants' Zouaves, resiiectlvcly. One-half of tho ball was well packed by a crowd of specta tors, who showod their appreciation by well-timed and enthusiastic applause, lo the inspiring atrains of the Dalian band the class of young ladies marched iuto tho hull, and tho gay and brilliant costumes lent a picturesque aspect to the scene. They till wore white skirts and blouse waists, '.he rainbow colors being assumed by sections. The dumb bell exer cises to the accompaniments ol the "An vil Chorus" wasapleasingdivorsioD.und tlBT""5t graceful posing, prompt movements and concerted action evinced skillful training on the irt of the teacher and ready ac quisitiveness by the pupils. The march ing and countermarching was executed skillfully and without error, calling forth an encore from tho delighted spectator. The final evolution into the letter C U. L Indicated that the charming young per formers were pupils of tho Clara Couway Institute. The Merchants' Zouaves followed in one of their characteristic drlls. Those who are familiar with the excellent drills of this company were hardly prepared for the many new and fancy movements which they executed. CapU 1 sell re y baa not lost a point in developing the resources of the compenv, butou the contrary has brought forth alf the lino material aud sterner si u IT of which soldiers aro made. It is alwavs a treat lo see the Zouaves drill, and hist ovening's performance wss no exception. The perloriuurs slid s)t-ctaUrs thon de scended to tho lower floor and spent the remainder of the evening in fessting and patronixiog the many delightful booths, ihe llower booth wss excially tlio center ol an attractive ciowd during the evening, and no lady or gentleman left tha hall without a bouquet or boutonniere. It Is pleasant to note that this festival is lo con tinue two or more nights, and can not fail lo draw the crowd that it deserves. To night will be tho fashionable evening, and crowds of society people will seek tbe at tractive hall for a pleasant evening. On Saturday sllurnonn s children's mat inee will be given, and the entertainment will be made steeially attractive by a drill from l'ruf.
