THE LOBBYIST.
Tbe lobbyists, called the third house,
are numerous and strong in "Washing
ton now. There never before, perhaps,
were so many schemes in soak to draw
money out of the treasury fur jots and
works of internal improvemei, suuas
not in thousands but in millions.
Mr. Randall, the clever Washington
The Washington Capital tells the
following: "Chief Justice Waite walk
ed off one day last week, when it was
sleety, with the over-shoes of Associate
Justice Matthews : but the latter, who
never 'gets left,' made the former 'shed'
them in the street-car. This is another
Ohio idea."'

The recent murder of Mr. Agostini
by a crazy negro at Kewbern is a farci
ble illustration of the folly of letting
crazy people run at large, to avoid the
expense of caring for them.
According to the Internal Revenue
Commissioner's report there were in

914 gallons of taxable spirits which is
90,000,000 in excess of the previous
year.

The phylloxera is rapidly spreading
in France. In 1880 only 92,000 acres of
vines were reported as infested, while
last year the acreage had increased to
250,000. The vintage was reduced to
748,000,000 gallons, or only 70 percent,
of the average of the last ten years.

while the guns, pistols and dirks are
valued at $354,600, or $49,000 more than
is invested iu farming impliments and
mechanical tools combined.
An exchange remarks that "the only
man in this country who ever had the
'honor' of being decorated with an or
der, and at the same time occupying a
cell in a penitentiary, is Mr. David
Mouat, of Philadelphia. He was one
of the ,30G' at Chicago, and is entitled to
his medal weighing one pound."
noted lobvist, remarks: "He has gone ;
but his place is filled by men who have
none of his scholarship, but more know
ledge of still-huuting. Whether they
use cash or condiments, I cannot say ;
but their existence is surrounded by
sumptuous appointments, and to hear
some of them talk one would be per
suaded that they owned congressmen
in fee simple and sold them as corner
lots to their employers. My own opin
ion is that this is mere brag and
"bounce," and that they would inter
view a royal Bengal tiger sooner than
confront the majority of either House
with a venal proposition. Still, they
live and thrive and want for none of
those things that poorer people long for
and sometimes imperil their reputa
tions and souls to procure."
It is his opinion from the outcrop
ping indications that venal congress
men will have abundant opportunity to
make money, but he is charitable or per
haps just enough to believe that there
are very few of that kind in Washing
ton now. There is no doubt that the
morale of Congress has very much im
proved in recent years, since the shake
up in the Credit Mobilier exposures and
the salary back grab demonstrated the
fact that the people were not all asleep
and that congressional thieves had not
unlimited license. These were thun
der storms that did much to purify the
atmosphere about the legislative cham
bers, which have never since become as
foul as they then were.
But even great events are sometimes
forgotten, or thought to be, which is
pretty much the same thing, and when
we hear of the crowds of lobbyists, rep
resenting schemes with millions in the
background, it looks as if there was
devilment on foot, and as if the lobby
ist at least was becoming somewhat ob
livious of the occurrences in which he
and his victims figured so disreputably
in those days. There will be tempta
tions, no doubt, great temptations, and
congressmen who are not sure of their
strength had better stand from under
and give the gentlemen of the third
house a wide berth.
SUFFRAGE, CIVIL RIGHTS, THE
RIGHT OF WAY FOR CERTAIN
RAILROADS IN ALABAMA, PUB
LIC LANDS DEVOTED TO PACIFIC
RAILROADS, PENSION ARREARS,
THE MORRIL TARIFF AND SUN
DRY OTHER MATTERS.
The Territory of Dakota, the southern
half of which is knocking at the door
for admission as a State, is larger than
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont,
Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecti
cut, New Jersey, New York, Delaware,
and West Virginia combined.
Official returns from Washington re
lative to the foreign trade of the Unit
ed States place the aggregate exports
(exclusive of specie) in 1881 at $833,
514, 129. against imports of 8670,117,903,
comparing with the grand totals for
1880 of, respectively, $8S9,6S3,421 and
8096,807,176. .
This is the way "me too" Piatt feels
about it: "I would rather be ene of the
glorious 300' who stood firm at Chicago
even after the storm came and the
stampede raged, or one of the Spartan
band who at Albany last spring and
summer for many weeks faced the fury
of a crazy press and people, than be a
Senator."
Senator Dan Voorhees thus informs
the afflicted how he got out of his rheu
matic gout: "I have cured myself of
rheumatic gout by a simple remedy
taking lemon juice in warm water
twice or three times per day. Conse
quently, I am able to do what I have
not done for years walk from my lodg
ing to the Capitol and back, a matter of
four miles, every day, and outstrip the
young fellows who go with me."
The commissioner of pensions esti
mates that it will take $1,347,651,593 to
pay pensions during the twenty-fiye
years ending in 1906. After that he
thinks the charge on the country will
decrease. According to Bentley's esti
mate, about $135,000,000 of that large
amount will be paid to frauds unless
the go-easy way ,of the pension office is
changed.
We clip the following from Randall's
Washington letter to the Augusta
Chronicle: "There are many persons
here who say that stranger things have
happened than Judge Davi3' attain
ment of the Presidency ; and I know for
certain that both parties dread a gen
eral break-up and new deal. If that
should come to pass, by 1883, 1 will not
be surprised to see David Davis emerge
as chief magistrate of the republic. It
would be odd if the Democrats should
reject him and the Republicans take
him up as happened, last spring, in the
Senate. Mr. Arthur's ambition for a
second term may precipitate just such
a crisis and consummation."
ATTENTION TO BUSINESS.
As an illustration of the amount of
attentien that is sometimes given to
bills passed in Congress, we cite the
bill introduced yesterday in inference
to the qualifications of Territorial dele
gates. This bill provided that no one
having two or more wives (not wives
by brevet, but sure enough wives)
should ba considered competent to
a seat in that honorable body. The bill
was put, and but few votes cast, none
in the negative, when the Speaker an
nounced the bill carried, and the "burst
of laughter which followed," we are
told by the telegraphic announcement
of the passage of the bill, "first apprised
many of the members of the nature of
the bill that had passed". That's a speci
men of attention to business. Taking
advantage of just such indifference and
opportunities thousands of dollars have
been gotten out of the public treasury
in jobs carried by a few votes when the
majority of the members were engaged
upon something else and giving no at
tention to the matters before the House.
This occurs more or less in all legisla
tive bodies, but there is no excuse for
it. Congressmen are sent to do busi
ness for those who send them, and in the
capacity of agents they are well paid for
the services they render, and they have
no right to sleep at their desks nor be
indifferent to the demands of duty.
But perhaps they looked upon the
resolution as a harmless bit of pleas
antry, or as foolishness, and as such
gave it no attention. And then again
by voting for it perhaps some of them
thought they might be voting to con
tract their own particular privileges in
the matter referred to, but as it did not
apply to sud rosa wives, wives of con
venience, not commonly known as
wives, but as mistresses this could
hardly have been the case. Probably
they thought it foolish, for all the dele
gates from the territory has do is to
marry one woman or not marry her
and keep an indefinite number like
some of the honorable gentlemen at
Washington do, amatter which he can
very easily manage with the full under
standing of his people, and walk right
into Congress as moral a man as the
rest of 'em, who have quite as large
female experience though not quite a3
much married as the polygamist dele
gate. The fact is, Congress would
much rather let this question alone.
GEN. CLINGMAN.
Late reports from Washington rep
resent General Clingman as discussing
very freely and indulging in no small
amount of criticism as to the manage
ment ef the Democratic party in this
State, and it is asserted that he would
not be averse to seeing the party re
modeled on the basis of a coalition
with outsiders enough to make a party
numerically strong enough to place
General Clingman at the head of it and
in the position of some of the gentle
men whose leadership he criticises.
The General has undoubtedly a high
opinion of his own ability, and takes
occasion every now and then to point
out the mistakes that are made, the
greatest mistake being perhaps a want
of recognition by the party of his par
ticular fitness to head it But while not

RUSSIAN DIABOLISM.
A correspondent of an English paper
describing the persecution of the Jews
in Russia says :
"By the end of June the 'red cock'
(another name for the torch of the in
cendiary) had crowed over fifteen towns
in Western Russia, including Mohilew,
containing 25,000 inhabitants ; Witebsk,
with 23,000, and Slonim, with 20,000, as
well as smaller towns like Wolcowysk,
Scherwondt, Augustowd, Nowo-Guc-dek,
Ponoviez and Lipsk. Many thous
ands of Jews were rendered homeless
by this means, and on July 3rd 6,000
Jews had lost their homes by fire at
Minsk, 4,000 being deprived of every
means of subsistence at the same time.
The town of Pinsk, in the same pro
vince, suffered a like fate. And shortly
afterward a conflagration took place at
Koretz,in Wholhyma, in which thirty
lives were lost and 5,000 souls left with
out a home. Every week added to the
number of fires in towns inhabited by
Jews till, by the end of September, the
list extended to forty-one towns. This
probably involved the loss of home to
20,000 Jews. To the mass of homeless
and penniless creatures in Southern
Russia must be added the many vic
tims of pillage. The violence of the
mobs often wrecked whole streets of
houses as completely as any fire, and
we know of 2,000 who were thus render
ed homeless at Kieff, 1,600 at Smieloo,
1.000 at Konotop, 600 at Ouchow and

L.and, and Small Bills to Pay

tention. Washington, Feb. 6. Senate. Pe
titions for woman suffrage were pre
sented from various States.
By Hoar from citizens of Massachu
setts, of whom 10,349 are residents of
Boston, for civil service reform.
Hawley presented one on the same
subject.
Morgan, from the committee on pub
lic lands, reported favorably with
amendments, a bill granting the right
of way over public lands in Alabama
and to grant lands to said State in aid
of the Gulf & Chicago Air Line Rail
road Co.
Plumb, on behalf of the minority of
the committee, said they would present
their views in opposition to the bill
hereafter.
Morrill, from the committee on pub
lic buildings, reported favorably the
Senate bill authorizing and directing
the purchase by the Secretary of the
Treasury for public use, of the Freed
men's bank property and real estate
and parcels of ground adjacent thereto,
belonging to the Freedmen's Savings
and Trust company, located on Jrenn
avlvania avenue, Washington. Morrill
having secured its immediate consider
tion, stated that the bill was identical
with the one reported in the last Con
gress by Pugh, that it proposed to pay
not the actual cost of the building,
$258,000, but $250,000, and that in his
opinion the property was worth to-day
$50,000 more. Passed.
Bills were introduced by Hawley, of
Connecticut, retiring Quartermaster
General Meigs with the rank and pay
of Major-General.
Morgan offered a concurrent resolu
tion as follows: That the increasing
commercial intercourse between the
peoule of Mexico and the United States
ana tne relations oi irienusmp aim goou
will between the two great Republics,
now so happily existing and so gratify
ing to the people of both countries,
make it proper that the trade and com
merce of the two countries, whether on
overland or by sea in ships owned by
citizens in either country, should be
regulated by a treaty of reciprocity
mutually advantageous to both coun
tries. He asked that the resolution be
printed and laid on the table, as he de
sired to speak upon it hereafter. So
ordered.
The pending resolution, offered by
Vance, calling for information in re
gard to alleged irregularities in the
sixth internal revenue collection dis
trict of North Carolina, was withdrawn,
the information having been furn
ished. After the morning hour the resolu
tion that the Pension Arrears legisla
tion ought not to be repealed came up
as unfinished business, but was laid
aside informally, with the assent of its
author, lngalls.
Williams, to whom the floor was spe
cially assigned, then proceeded to make
a speech on tariff, the Morrill tariff
commission bill being taken up for this
purpose. He avowed his opposition to
the measure and favored a tariff revis
ion by a joint committee of the two
Houses. He favored the tariff for rev
enue. At 2:15 Williams concluded and the
Senate resumed the consideration of the
lngalls resolution declaring that the
Pension Arrears law ought not to be
repealed.
Ingall3 moved to modify the amend
ment declaring in favor of pensions to
soldiers of the Mexican war so as to
limit it to the needy or disabled. He
then spoke at length in advocacy of his
resolution.
Vance and Hawley also spoke upon
the resolution. Without action it was
laid aside for executive session during
the day.
Plumb reported favorably from the
committee on public lands the bill
granting the right of way through the
public lands to the Palatka and Indian
River Railway company.
Bills were introduced by Harrison
defining the powers and jurisdiction of
the Mississippi River commission, au
thorizing appropriations of land and
material for the improvement of the
Mississippi and its navigable tributa
ries, prescribing the manner of assess
ing damages for property so appropria
ted and providing penalties for acts in
hindrance of the proposed improve
ments. Executive session adjourned
until to-morrow.
House. Belmont, of New York,
offered a resolution calling on thePresi;
dent to furnish the House with a tran
script of the letters of 3 acob R. Shep
perd.of New York, dated June 2, Au
gust 9, September 28, November 15, 1881,
and replies thereto now on the files of
the State department; also copies of
any other letters already communicated
from which the names of persons or
firms have been omitted and requesting
the President to inform the House
what measures have been taken to re
cover the letters declared to be missing
from the files of the department.
Adopted.
Under the call of States a resolution
was introduced by Springer, of Illinois,
calling on the President for informa
tion as to the right or authority under
which the Republics of North and South
America were invited to send a com
missioner to the peace Congress to be
held in Washington in November, 1882.
By King, of Louisiana, a bill appro
priating $10,000 to enable the commis
sioner of agriculture to investigate the
origin and spread of cocoa grass.
By Mills, of Texas, a resolution call
ing on the Secretary of the Interior for
information as to the number of acres of
public lands that have been granted by
Congress, both directly to corporations
and through States, what railroads have
been subsidized and the number of
acres granted to each, also directing
him to report to the House the net earn
ings of the Central Pacific, Kansas Pa
cific, and Union Pacific, Central Branch
of Union Pacific, and the Sioux City
and Pacific, from tne commencement or.
operations of each of said companies to
the present time. Referred to the com
mitteee on public lands.
By Houk, of Tennessee, for the pay
ment of loyal claimants.
By Wise, of Virginia, to complete the
monument to Mary Washington.
Burrows, of MictL, moved to suspend
the rules and pass a bill defining the
Qualification of territorial delegates in
the HOUSe or jiepeuwwvto.
It provides tnac no person
" It was only then that a burst of
laughter apprised many members of
the measure which had been adopted.
R Payne, of Penn, offered a resolution
reciting the allegation that Thomas
Shields and two other citizens of the
United States were confined in a jail in
Mexico for a breach of a civil contract,
that they wrote to Minister Morgan
but received no answer, and directing
the Secretary of State to examine into
the matter and report the facts to the
House. Adopted.
Joyce, of Vermont, moved to'suspead
the rules and pass a bill for the ap
pointment of a commission on the sub
ject of the alcoholic liquor traffic.
Bragg, of Wis demanded a second.
The motion was seconded 72 to 60
and there being no desire expressed
on either side to discuss the question
the vote was taken upon the adoption
of the motion. The motion was lost,
yeas 112, nays 98. Not the necessary two
tuirua in tne amrmative.
This was a strict party vote except
that Bettzhoover, Culberson, Jones, of
Arkanses, Ladd, Limonton and Vance
voted with the Republicans in the af
firmative, and Davis, of Illinois, Young
and Guenther, of Wisconsin, with the
Democrats in the negative.
The House then at 4 o'clock adjourned.
