Mr. Scranton of Pennsylvania,

calling him a I thief when he was
running for Congress.
Senator Vance, in his Boston
peech, called the North Carolina
Jfoad "the horee-shoe line," a name
which is decidedly suggestive and
one which is destined to stick.
Smith, who takes the place of Mr
J- B. Hnsseyjin the Librarian's office
of the House of Representatives, is
not a boy, as the Farmer and Me
chanic says, but a middle aged col
ored man, with a good face bnt a
bald head, intellectual and decidedly
popular with the Democratic mem
bers of the House.
A committee of five was ap
pointed Friday by the Board of
Aldermen of Cincinnati to investi
gate the cost' of lighting with
electricity the parks, public squares,
public landings, public buildirgs
and such other places as the Coun
cil may be determine, for a period
of five years. j
The Commercial News was repre
sented at Atlanta, but it was not
through the kindness of the Rich
mond & Danville Railroad Company
consequently we are under no obli
gations to give that "soulless corpo
ration,' as the Star uniquely terms
it, the gratuitous advertising which
it will expect from the members of
the State Press who took the parlor
car ride to the Exposition.
Senator Ransom, in the Senate,
on Tuesday, submitted a resolution
constituting a ! select committee of
five to inquire and report as to the
condition of the Potomac river front

igability of said river, the effect of
bridges across the same upon navi
gation, floods and health of 'the city,
and what action ought to be taken
in the premises, with power to send
for persons and papers, examine
witnesses and employ a clerk and
stenographer if necessary. AdopiN
ed, ana Messrs. Ransom, Jones of
Nevada, Kellogg, Conger and Vest
were constitued by the Chair as the
committee.

Ex-Speaker Kan dall is as active
on the floor of the House as he was
courageous in the chair. At the
same time he will loss none of his
popularity if he has few contests
with the Chair and if he does not
openlyj show to the House that he
was once in the chair himself.
The Rev. Dr. Thomas, the Chica
go expelled Methodist, has formed
a People's Church, and is preaching
to twice as many people as before,

The Ellis bill, for the ocean mail
pervice appropriates $5,000,000 for
carrying the.-mails of the United
States on the high seas ; $2,125,
000 1 to be expended on mail lines
between Portland, Me., and Nor
folk! Va.; $2,125,000 between Wil

Texas, and $750,000 on lines from
Pacific ports.
The Asheville Citizen is fflad to
hear of the constant 'increase of
capacity of the Weaverville Woollen
Mills,
situated near the
thriving
village
of Weaverville, in Buncombe
county. Established some six years
ago, during the severe period of
the panic, and with but little capi,
tal, the managers have pursued
their way with modesty and eneri
gy, until now they j can: fairly claim
to be on rapidly rising ground.
In the De Give's Opera House,
at Atlanta one night last week, a
panic ! was prevented which in its
results would have been almost as
Hi.- . .
horrible as that of the one in the
Ring
alarm
Theatre at Vienna. The
of firm was given by some one
on
the street and it ! sounded as
though comiDg from the gallery.
Therej was an immediate rush for
the' exits, but some one had the
presence of mind to command the
audience to 'sit down," which it
did slowly and reluctantly. Several
ladiesj fainted, and one burst into
tears, and the tumult was immense.
Tlie JVew Speaker.
The News and Observer savs the
new Speaker of the House of Rep
resentatives, Hon. J. Warren Keifer,
parts his hair, like his name, in the
middle. This is a mistake. The
writer, who was in Washington City
during the 46th Congress,had abun
dant Opportunities for becoming fa
miliar with not only the record and
accomplishments of the gentleman
referred to, but to his personal hab
its and appearance. Gen. Keifer is
a man resembling the late Joseph A.
Englehard in build, and not unlike
him in manners- His carriage is
essentially western, that is,he walks
rapidly and bends forward, with the
air of : a man intent upon the accom
plishment of some undertaking.
His head is much like Gen. 'Gar
field's, but his brow is not so prom
inent as that of the former. He
parts his hair on the extreme left
side, and a long lock hangs over the
right of his forehead, and when
speaking he has a habit of roaching
it back with his hand,or accomplish
ing the same result by throwing
back his head.
HI mistake not his eyes are grey
in color, small in size. Hq wears a
moustache "and scant beard, and
dresses plainly in black goods. His
voice is clear and forcible, and his
speeches j are generally listened to
with marked attention !
He is one of the most indefatiga
ble workers in Congress, and in this
respect he resembles Garfield, who
was a great committeeman.
Tlic ! A ttoruey-Geiieral.
Mr. McVeagh is still the Attorney
General of the United States, be-
!
cause his resignation has not yet
been accepted nor has his successor
been appointed. He has abandoned
his post of honor and resumed the
practice of law in Philadelphia. He
has intimated that this step was
taken because he had no confidence
that President Arthur would vigor
ously prosecute the star route fraud?.
This was: a grave indignity upon the
Chief Executive of the country. Mr
McVeagh has placed himself in an
unenviable position. The people at
large anxiously await a full confes
sion of the faith that is in him. Sev
eral of the leading daily papers of
the countrty have tendered him the
use of their columns for any expla
nation he may have. The country
must have some reasons from Mr.
McVeagh why he shall not be con
demned. An army officer would
doubtless be shot, upon conviction
of having abandoned his post in time
of danger. Such extreme measures
are not proper, however, in civil
cases. Mr. McVeagh cannot longer
afford to ; sulk, school boy like.
Congress.
In the: House of Representatives
Tuesday a committee was authorized
to audit all claims for services and
expenses growing out of the death
and burial of the late President
Garfield,1 and to consider what ak
lo wanes shall be granted Jiis widow
and family.
Bills were introduced to repeal
the internal revenue tax on matchep,
bank checks, snuff and cigars, and
spirits distilled from fruits; in res
lation to the homestead and pre
eruption acts ; for a commission of
colored men to inquire into the
intekctual condition of the race at
the South ; for an appropriation of
$10,000,000 for edfcational purs
poses ; to establish ocean mail ser
vice to foreign ports; for treaties
of commerce with France, Mexico,
Brazil and Canada ; for reducing the
tax on spirits to 50 cents per gallon ;
for the appointment of a tariff com
mission, etc. ; in all 756 bills were
introduced and referred. !
