With His great hammer, blow on blow ;

And lets it cool and makes it glow ;
And yet 1 whisper, As liod will!
And in His uiighty baud hold still.

Selected Miscellany. MR. BINGHAM'S SUMMING UP
OF THE CASE.
Character and Effect of His Speech.
[Special Correspondence of the Cincinnati Gazette.]
WASHINGTON, May 7.
I
TI10 nniliiue into which tiie guili'tica
broke when Mr. 15iii;Ii;iih cl'iscil his argu
ment, j eRtordy, was oily an iiHliouiiju of
Iho t;i'iK-i;il delight with which his party
fi icnila regarded his cfTort. It is iindeni.
al lo Hint Mr. Uiugliam'ti njuii cli has liecn
received by lli'nih!iciins with ni'ire cx
preHHidiis of inaine than that ol cither otic
of li is utile assouiatoF. Tina foelinj; has ro
cuiveri all the mure frcquBiit fxpiesMiou in
coiiseqiicnco of tho getiorul sorenesH at the
cleniing of Hie pnilcrieH. Kvery pretty
woman who h f . 1 i t liar kid gloves in clnp
t'inp; aa tho Chi'.'f Justice waa vainly try
iu to prcaervo order, niado it u point, as
kIio pciitingly left the palleiics with the
urgent policeiniiti behind Iter, to declare,
lite moment she reached the corridor, that
alio didn't care it was the grandest elo
rpicnce alio (iver lieard in her life, and no
0110 could be a good -nan who didn't feol
just the same way. , Mr. Chase might stop
her Irom applauding loyal sentiments in
the gullet ies; but he couldn't ltoe) her from
aayitig what alio thought when she gol
outside ; that lie 'couldn't. And so eulogy
of Mr. Bingham became suddenly fashion
ablo, il not almost a test if 01 thodoxy.
The columns of the Oazrtia l ove, since
18G2. contained many an evidence of my
admiration for Mr. lilngham. Iain all the
umrelrie, thoreloro, in saying now that,
whatever may be urged in' praise of the
abstract met its of his argument, it was by.
no meatiH his best or most impressive effort.
I have heard Mr. Bingham do better in tho
ordinary hurly-burly of the House, without
clnilico for previous preparation, with the
temper of the House against him, and wilh
the galleries more disposed to hiss than 'o
applaud. Few of his judicious friends, 1
imagine, did not have too same feeling us
they listened to his prolractctl summing
up of tho ease av;nii.t ihe IVo-ddi'lit. Tho
tnilh probably is that too mncli h:n been
expected ot Mr Uingiiain, und too little
allowance has been ii ij for t he diff renoe
ht-twecii the body fo' whioh' he irf accus
tomed to p. uit, and that buf ro which he
now ui can d. Much that in Iho excito
rmifit ol tho limine p;ises fur (inn rhetoric
or impressive invective falls flat in the
calmer alinoHpliei d at thu other end of the
Capitol. Ami, besides, men of Mr. King
I I a 'j ' n type most spiak iitolcr the excite
ment of deliute, and Dl likely lo be weighed
dow n by the load of clabomto piejiaratiou
and long wait ing.
Then, Mr. Iluiliani Ii h ceit iin inaiiiior
isms, which havo grown upon bini, li l
now, iu nny careful t irort, they are sure
to be conspicuous, Puch (dirases, as ',' with
out coioruhle etcus-," "no man in America
but knows," "life id tiie llepunliu," "every
man within the heating ol my voice," "read
in the lieaiing of the Senate,'' "made death
beautiful," "mindful of their ou'lis," "all
tho people, of tho Coiled ISlults,", occur
contitiiully in tho course 0 what ' wool I
o.hei wise be viry hauJsomo cx empnro
speaking;, until their rtitetaliou grows
Wfin isouin ol worse.
There is a certain dogmatism, n-.o, in
his manner of argument, which haa become
much more notion, hie: III, in it Used to be
I hus, iu answer to a certain argument ol
Ml'. Evuils, be txuluitued I " Tiie in 1 in
ililuliun ol sin li an aj guiiient n that was
an ii suit to the ioli llieiico ut thu Amen
cull Si-nule." .
A few ininutes laler, in reference to an
other argument, ho was exi l.iliuing : "'TM-'I
nun is inexciinatile, Hh-ioiutoly nu xcio-a1 le.
who tver had tho ndvanlage nf common
Schools, ai d leal lie, 1 to read the plain text
of his native vi 1 run.lar. Mho dares to
raise, thut ibsne." til aiioilut he said:
" The man who dors not understand this to
be the plain, sunple proposition made 'ip
the healing of Hehutois, is one of those tin
fortunate whom even a thrush might piiy,
to whom God, iu providci.ee, bus de
nied the usual mensnre of that intelleotual
tacully which we call reason," "The
npt erne Com t has no more power in the
pumiscH," ho said of another matter, "than
the Court of St. rVtersbtirgh." Again,
" The man v ho does not understand that
proposition is not fit to stand for a moment
in tiie I'tcsi iire rf this tiibntml and argue
any issrte involved in this controversy."
And again. "There never waa bolder
piece of eff.ontery practiced since man
was upon the face of the earth. I Cure not
if lie be Pi osi.l, nt of the United Slates, it is
simply nn insult to human understanding
to press any such detetise in the presence
of bis triel ." Again, tho l't esident'a de
fet se waa said to be bko a tale told by an
idiot full of sound aud fury, signifying
nothing ; and ngain, the counsel were told
that if Ihey nieaiil seriouslv to press such
nn aigiiment, they were fi! candidates for
the m'jiceiit Lunatic Asylum across the
Kust BisnUi. Ail this may bo conclusive
Higumi nt, in thociesof Iho enthusiastic
holies in the galleries; but Mr. liinghnm's
best fiiciuis 111 e apt to think it too much
alter Iho stylo of that gorgeous orator
whose answer to Ihe lyrant'and the despot
is that bis proud Imtno is iu the settin' sun.
Tet these are only apots that dim but do
not obscure a handsome performance. Of
the argument its' If readers have already
had their on opportunity of judging. It
only remains to say hero that, iu some pas.
sages, tho delivery was impressive, and
lh.it thinulioiit the galleries considered1 it
attractive i that the audiences were larger
than ut nny previcus period iu the trial, and
tlmt they xinhited Unusual atten'.ioii ; that
sevi 1 ul times tho interest was painful and
eiuotioiinl, and that now the enthusiasm, in
the cniiinino current of Congressional so
ciety, about lr. llingham's speech, is very
ge'n ial and genuine.
There is a curious, synipallu tic tetu'e icy
in M . Ibnghani's voice that sometimes has
an cll ci over an audience w hich one, look
ing a! tei w ard at the printed report alone,
is at a loss to understand. Such an 1 licet
was very, niuiked, during the fust days
speech, when tho speaker caul" to Incut ion
the Maigaiel li'atner case, ami dwell upun
it and other illusti at ions of the biubiirity
of the Kugitive Siavo liw. It was yet
more mitn e.ible when, a .itt'.o later, he r
ncllc l the intimation that Mr. Lincoln had
done some things similar to those now
charged upon M 1. Johns.iti, and sodiverged
into an et.lcgv of Lincoln. Tears occur
much oftcner in highly wrought desciip
toiiis id orati rical 1 11 els than 111 the eyes
ol audiences ; but il is true that in this and
other jmssaca, Mr. I.bngham more than
ni ce moved in my iu bis tuMietice to tears.
li t 1 ci oration was briefer and less ihe
torical than had In on ex acted; and tho
iippkiU.-tc with which il was greeted began
not with those familiar wilh Mr. Itioglnim's
oratory, but with strangeis. Thoti the
effort to suppress it only made it spread
mid so, when tho galleries wero finally
cleared out, everybody emerged in a state
ol injured but exuberant enthusiasm.
Mr. Ilinghaui, amid so much that was
fortunate for him, was fortunate in two sad
1 ipst's. Ho so far forgot himself as to taunt
tiie President's counsel with being '' hired
a Iv xat -s," as if they could bu anything
else, or us if ho ha I not himself been a
hired advocate when ho prosecuted Mrs
SAirrott. I am glad to ob-ei ve that he h is
had iho good sensu ts strike out this
phrase in the ofliciul report of his remarks,
unit to substitute for it the words, "to
tamed counsel. His other lapse was
equally bad, and unluckily does not admit
ot any such ready correction ut his hands.
He has been stung by Mr. Kvurtu' reference
to the passage between Itutler nud htmsclt,
in the House, and it was 11 matter of com
ni"n report that he was going to attack
Evrrts severely. His attack proved to be
a sneer at the length of Lvatts speech,
which he said tho author hud striven to
make immortal bv makim; i t eternal. Now
this, in itself, was an excellent thrust, and
one that Mr. Kvarla deserved) but it did
not como with a good grace from a man
launching out on a three days' speech him
self. Now that it is all over, we can calcil
late and compare the superficial extent of
xac 1 1 production as to their breadth and
thickness, that must be left to later judi;
incuts. Mr. Kvarts spoke only an hour or
two longer than Mr. Bingham, but not so
ranidlv. There is actually loss than two
columns difference in the length of their re
spective addresses. Mr. Evarta speech
makes thii iy-nino columns in the Daily
Globe; Mr. Ilingham a runs a little over
thirty seven columns. Our Ohio friend
must bo more careful in future. " Kternal
but not immortal " would be an unlucky
phrase to havo fastened upon 0110; yet, he
can hardly (Uny that he has given some
AGATE.

Our Bonds Abroad.
It is well Known that in the days of our
deepest financial depression, when the bur
dens of tho war pressed heavily, and the
(.lovei nincnt was straining every nerve to
raiso money for tls prosecution when
t-.brnad, and, unfortunately, also nt home,
tho national credit was depreciated when
tho ivsue of the war seemed doubtful, and
it was a question whether it lull us with
any national responsibility, nny national re
sources, or any national existence Hol
land loyally kept its faith in our existence,
our cause, our honor, and invested largely
in our bc.ids. It is not yet time to forget
the gratitude wo fell then for this confi
dence. Those Dutch friends rendered im
portant service lo our liiianc'al power and
credit. They i;, creased our faith, all I held
up our name in Fairope at a time when the
hot was trembling aid the hitler was de
spised. The voice ot Holland was Ihe most
cln ering that eamo Irom the other Hido ol
the Atlantic. The sums invested iu the
United Stales bonds und in Illinois Railroad
stocks and bonds in Amsterdam nlone, to
say nothing of the rest of the Netherlands,
were, we are assured, enormous. The Li
brary ol the City of Amsterdam is richer

historical, political, financial nud iiicre.an
tile most of them presented by a gentle
man born in Amsterdam, for many years
more than a quarter of this century resi
dent iu this country, now visiting the laud
of his birth. This gentleman assures us
thut he has been earnestly pressed for in
formation on tho policy thu (.loverninetit is
likely to puisne in regard to the liquidation
of these debta. Ha declares that ho speaks
the opinions of the highest class of tner
uhauts und financiers in Amsterdam, men
who knotv A mm u-a well, aud have nt their
command tho most authentic intelligence
respecting tier great public interests ; men
very jealous ot our nutioual honor, very
proud of our national enterprise, aud very
sincerely interested 111 our nutmual pros
peiity. These men nil say that if the bonds
of Ihe United htiitcs are p ml in greenbacks
if tho Government intends to t.iln icate
a suflicieut number of millions of paper
dollars to gut rid of Iho ft 20 bonds, it will
be considered a breach of good faith, nud
the credit of the United Ktates in Kuropu
will be shaken to its very foundations. No
loans will thereafter bo made lor public im
provcmculs in America, aud tho undevel
oped resources of tho country will 1 omnia

pie here all know how disastrous this
would bo fur America ; and so many indi
vidual and charitable institutions, banks of
savings, and trust companies, in iho I. nited
States, havo invested enormous capitals
in uoverninout bonds, they look on those
who have something toloso for their safely,
and hopo that Congress will not disregard
tho expressed opinions of those whose 111
teicst requires the preservation of tho
United StateB credit." Should Congruss
abolish the National banks, it is believed
that they will throw their bonds upon the
market, ami will thereby cause a tremend
ous fall in their price an event that would
bo oxeoedingly disastrous. Why, uslc these
financiers, should this subject be agitated
at all, since nobody wants the bonds paid ?
Why lint wait till they fall duo? This is
the sobor opinion of ull experienced men
of business, who may bo some what slower
limn we are, but who aro likely to ho much
surer. Holland is old-fashioned, but among
tho obi fashions she preserves ore honor,
fidelity aud truth. Should not the judg
ment of such men puss for something ? Not
only have they a heavy ktuke, but they
have training and experience ; they respect
us, too, which is more than we can always
say of ourselves. Wo say nothing of the
gratitude wo on e thoni for their coiiGdenco

pay much heed to that argument. To some,
iiowever, it tuny occur that wo sholtid bo

Poverty.
Wo often hear persons complain of pov
erly, and so oftoti has the same strain
struck ti pen our ears that we have made
up our mind to analyze it. What is pov
erty? Wo all ourselves poor ; what of it?
Thousands nro in tho same condition. Who
is rich? If wo take their own valuation,

treasures of tho sea were laid nt their feet,
Ihey would still be striving for more, Tho
rich man so called by Iho world who
owns his millions, still continues to toil, to
savo, and to struggle, to add another million
to it ; ami the humble mechanic who ob
tains but a dollar a day does the satps.
Tho rich are not ono whit better off than
tho poor. The same air is breathed ; the
same water is drank ; they boih enjoy alike
beauties of nature ; the sumo sun shines
upon them, and the sumo blue sky is abovo
all. Throw usido nil tho falso ideas of
riches, and tho advantage is with tho pour.
They aro not troubled about their posses
sions; their health is not ruined by arti
ficial luxuries; their appetite ia not im
paired, and their rcposo is not disturbed
by visions of robbers and fire. Lot no one,
then, repine because he lis poor. Our
idessed Lord was poor, and be had not a
place to lay his head. Tho bost men of
every ago have been in tho same situation
It is tho bight of folly, nay, of madness,
lo murmur nud complain because, tho god
dess ol fortuno does not scatter diamonds

thero not a holier purpose in view tjiiiii
tho mere acquisition ot gold ? Our iintural
wants aro supplied. We are blessed with
a home. Wo have shelter and we have

Dear reader, if you are what the world

promotion of temperance, is the Christian
Church. That, with every pulpit outspo
