Pulchritude of Congressmen. The Washington correspondent of the Louisville Courier Journal is evidently not a man of taste. He writes hi? paper: "Hon. Welty McCullough. a Republican member of the House, is the handsomest man in Congress, while the strug gle for second placs lies between Messrs. Stahlnecker, Maboney and Cockran, of New York. The three ugliest men ip the Hop.se are Ly man, of Iowa, Cheadler, of Indiana, and Johnston, of North Carolina." Well, our reprentutive wm not sent to Congress as a Dude or a masher; but if he is any ugler than Pig-iron Kellev our Congressman ought to do like Mr. Lincoln did on one occasion. OReday while Mr. L. was walking in the woods he suddenly came upon a huntsr who no sooner than had he saw Mr. L. leveled his gun at him. Mr. L. yelled "What are you going to do ?" The hunter replied, t'Stranger. my people always told me if ever I seed a man uglier an' I was to kill him." After eyeing him awhile Mr. Lin coln resignedlr replied, "Well my friend, if I am any ugler than you I oueht to die, so tire away.'

A Little Too Fast; One of the local nevrs-gatherers of the Citizen learning that cards were out announcing the early mar riage of Mr. H. S. Sarratt and Miss Annie Whittington became con fused : s to the dale, and thinking it was fixed for last Wednesday and presuming that it had taken place, made ths announcement in yealer. day'it issue It was just several davs loo early, which we much re-i gret We hope to have an opportu nity to congratulate the happy pair in a few days. An Interesting Case. Tne action of Mary King and others is. John V. Wells and others was an ejectment which was tried once before Judgs Gudger, when a verdict was rendered for the defend ants. The plaintiffs appealed to the Supreme court. A new trial was granted and the case was tried at the pressnt term of the court, consuming two entire days of ths term and a verdict was rendered for plaintiffs, and the de fendants have appealed to the Su preme court. It was perhaps the most hotly contested case which was tried during tbe term. There were many witnesses on both sids and the costs are very heavy. Much interest has been taken in the case by the community in which the parties rsside. (Sandy Mush.) Messrs. J. M. Gudger and Geo. A. Shuford appeared for the plaintiffs, and M. E.Carter, J. S. Adams and F. A. Sondley for the defendants. W. B.

When the del egates to the convention of the lie publican clubs began to hie into Cbicksring Hall to-day it was re marked that they wore a more con fident air than yesterday when bat tallions were disordered ana head less. I be idea of a federation of clubs, centralized and obedient to the touch of a directing hand was belore every eye. They were now in shape to carry out the purpose of the convention. The committees appointed yesterday had be ;tt work last night, rules of order had been framed, Evarts had been nom- nateu lor permanent chairman: other matters had been arranged that other committees and every thing should go smoothly, that the higk spirits, and in s me cass the turbulence of members, could be held under restraint. Among the lirsl to arrive and take position on ths platform was the temporary chairman, Daniel. J. Ryan. Mem bers came in slowly. Three of the cooimit'ees had appointed sub-com mitteea to report at 9 a. iu. A turning of the general committee reports from these had to be re ceived, and psrhaps canvassing had to be done. Ohio men did not re main out, howeer, to day until other delegations ere nearly full in their positions. A, hiysy day was before them." Ihee sessions had been deoided on for the dty's busi n?ss, morning, afternoon and even ing; the order of business to be, call ing of convention to order by the temporary chairmtn, report of the committee on credentials, report ot the committee ou rales and order, rep rt t the comitate on perma nent organization of the convention. The permanent chairman. Senator Evarts, will take the ch.ir and ad dress the convention. Alter that, the committees qn resolutions and on permanent organizations of the State leagues, will be received and acted upon. The reai busin:s ol the convention will ba then entered upon, and with a zeal that present indications say will be overflowing. The meeting was to open at 10 a. iu., but at half after there was no siins of coming to order except that tne temj.orary cbairrnac, Hon. Daniel J. JRyan, had been buried in the big center chair, he being a little man, lor about halt an Lour. About 10:45 the convent on was called to order by Hon. Daniel G. Rya.i. The chairman ol the differ ent committees appointed Yesterday then made their reports. Senator Chandler led off with the report of the Committee on Rules aud orders of business. The chair men of the ot,her committees then follow-ed with, reports. Meanwhile trouble was brewing among the big Pennsylvania delegation; and tor some time there was danger of a e nous split in its ranks. Bj mistake yesterdav iv. Warren, of bcranton, and Cant Thornton, of Philadel phia, were both appointed by the chairman of tire Pennsylvania clubs as Keystone representatives on the committee of permanent or ganization ot the" Leagues. lhe friends of Mr. Warren claimed, that it was distinctly understood that Captain Thornton was to withdraw in case there were onlv 5 commit tees instead of 6. The Salter's friends sleuied this, and the delegation held a hot meeting in the jenllemen's room jn the hall It was decided by forty to eighteen that Warren was to be the man, although Cap tain Thornton hd represented the delegation iu electing the commit tee last pight. The report of the committee on, Credentials, alter reading the names of clqbs was ad opted. (jenaral John C. Robinson, Grant Ciub, of Bingharaton, New York, cflered the following resolution : "Resolved: That it is the dutv of the government to place our coun try in such a state of defenc as will command the respect of all nation?; and for this purpose a large portion ot the surplus revenue should be devoted to lortifying our harbors, bu'lding ship lor our navy, and manufacture of modern artillery for the proper armament of the same." Referred to committee on resolu tions. All the resolutions offered, were referred without djhata to the Committee ou resolutions. Burd sall, of Binghamton, said he had a resolution.

(Sy talacraph t tha Ahiill Citizao.) Washington. Dec. 15. Housk - Mr. Hatch, of Missouri, submitted a concurrent resolution that when the wo Houses adiourn on Mondav. Dec 19th, ihey stand adjourned un til Thursday, Januarv 5th. Reed of Maine inquired the reason for the submission of the resolution. Hatch replied that it was the usual resolu tion brought in at the first session of Congress. The House had been in session since the first Monday in December. It was wed known that nolhintr had been accoraolished. The House was waiting for tbe Speaker to an nounce comaiiltees, and he (Hatch) was satisfied from his personal knowledge, and what he had seen of the occupation of Speakers tim by members interested in commit tee assignments that it was impossi ble that the committees could h announced until the holiday recess, He bad submitted the resolution as intioh in tiie interest of the public hu:iii(vs as for lhe comfort and con venience of the Speaker. Reed says tbat the peculiar condition f the business affairs of the country ren dered the action which had been taken or rather the non -action that had been suffered by the Demo cratic side of the House, a matter of legitimate cjmment, both here and before the country. Take it all in all, it was without precedent. Many changes in the rules of the House had been suggested but had not been acted upon; and yet it was proposed that the House adjourn for the holidays, and commence after recess where it had been the custom to begin at the opening of the srssion. If there were no mat ters of public interest before the eoUQlry such course might awaken only passing comment, but to day Congress was pressed upon by a serioui public duty; which wa3 ths reduction of the surplus which win coming into the Treasury in a man ner calculated under the manage ment of the Treasury Department to be an embarrassment to the finances of the country. All were agreed at least on tho Republican side that this surplus should be reduoed,and the Republican sto ji ready now to make one reduction t which the other side was agreed, and that was in reference to the to bacco tax. He hoped that onj ;rtu nity would be given them by the powers that be, or were to be, to vote thereon and show to the cou-i-try some proper disposition in this regard. If th? gi.itleuini w the other side found it somewhat diffi cult to arrn.tJa themv Ives a'o jsM of tbe recent message whieh ha l been sent them, that the Republi cans could well understand and cotild give their assurance of most profound sympathy, daughter The message was to some Democrats a summons from very great ways off, and it required that they should traverse a very good distance before they could get alongside of their pioneer brothers at the end of the avenue. If time was wanted for that pur pose he hoped that the gentleman from Missouri would frankly say so. Laughter. It the gentlemen on the other side were in grave doubt how they should comply wittj tne suggestions of the message, if after they ha.i made up their minds in tbe interest ot moderation and rev form and the most advanced of thein would be content with, the des struction of a fw of our industries and they needed time to select those they caw fit to destroy, that would be ground for this motion, and he hoped the gentleman would say if that was the reason underneath it. Mr, Hatch laid, he had hoped tha he could yild the floor to the gen tleman from Maine without that gentleman improving his opportu nity to make a political harrangue. He did not think that the gentle man had improved it much because he had made the tame old speech. If the gentleman had not had the opportunity time and again during 49th Congress to vote for the con sideration of the tariff bill, and had not always voted against it. there might be some sincerity in hi talk to-day. Applause. Time and again the Democratic side of tin House had tendered to ths other side an opportunity to reduce taxa tion and the surplus in thctreasury: but the gentleman from Maine, by his voice and his vote, had always stood, as the lender of his party, to resist it. The Democratic fide would give the gentleman an earlv oppununuv io ventilate his views on the tiriff question and vote for reduction ol tbe taritl.if hewis'.eJ to Mr. Reed : ''Why net now ?"' Mr. Hatch: The rntleman Knows that is clap tr.in. Until ihr ommuiee on ways ana Means is appointed, and bills are sent to thai committee, the esnlleman know that there can be no fair considsra tion of this question. It is to fr;v- the speaker the opportunity to forti committees in the interest of public business of the country that I offer the resolution.. Mr. Cox, of New York, commented on what he termed the sudden con version of the gentleman from Maine. He did not think that there had been such a sudden conversion since tbe time of Saul of Tarsus Laughter. He did not know wbv the gentleman should urge upon the spaaker immature making up ot committees. The house was wi'.h out rulea and it had no commiitee framed for the consideration of the reduction of the tobacco tax. In a matter of so small consequence tht House should give to the ?peaket the same opportunity which had been accorded other PpeiUers. "It was known that tha treasury had p e hor;i whiol Joataiyzed the chan nels of trade, and hurt the farmer and artisan, and that there must be some relief, and it cams with little grace from ths gentleman from Maine to make this sinister and ironical an 1 sarcastic objections to the mes?jj;e ot the President. He could reciH ti e i ne when the most eminent men on the other side of the House bad insisted upon a re duction of the tariff to prevent an iccurnulation of tha surplus, among the rst had been the gallant man from Maine with the white plume; among them had been Messrs. Frye and H il j iniisting o i a reduction ot the lax on salt and other articles except lumber. Laughter. Hr would like to see every mun in th House regard this fiscal question as outside of politics. It was a busi ness question in eyery sense of th word. The resolution w.is amended so as to provide for a holiday recei from I'tiesdav, December 22, to Wedne.-dsy, January 4th, and then adopte I. The Houe then adjourned untii Mond.v. "That Miss Jones is a nice-looking girl' isn't she?" ' Yef, D'l she'd bs the belle of the town if it wasn't for one thing." ' What's that?"
