Haw not to (lo it and fat to appear to want to da it U the difficuh rule that tha ttapublioana era essaying in tba matter of too tariff bill. Iast msmioh when they lisil abundant time ibey ebifisd tna raaNHisttdlity uo a land' OOtBBtiaaiun, and now, although, brought to a tense of duty by tba leneoa a No vemU'r, they ma fiitieiing away tbe twenty days remuant of the pteaent leloa in an tffoft to gain polittosl ventage and place tbe Democrat in a falae ioitton. If no tariff bill ia panned too odium must raat on the party of tna mejority. Tba Dvmoctate have rxpreeeed their wiliingneaa to vote for tbe bill pro)oeed bt a commission ohoa- en by Kr pultcana, and, on tbe parly having a majority both in tha Hauea od in the Senate, all! raat tbe coo damnation of wasted tlma nml policies! oowardice. I have heard it said that tbe Democrats will offer (be sonata bill aa a substitute, for tba bouse bill wben it shall have been completed, and vote for it solidly. It this progrotnme hi oa rried out it ia poaaibla enough Repub lican members can be found to pass tbe kill, but the intereaU wbich wilt be ar rayed against it are diversified and powerful 1 do not aee how Genfreea is going to accomplish anything, unless doing nothing can b called accomplish ing something. There ia grave foreboding and even alarm in nearly half tba bouses of Washington siisiog from n report that Congress will pass a bill adding one hour lo the day's Isbor of Oovermeot 1 clerks. Aa it is now. the fifteen thou sand Government eletka are required to be in office at 9 a. m.t and are dis missed at 4 p. to., with a reossa of from thirty sainutea it one hoar at noon. It is .reposed ey the bttl to make the hour of dismissal T p. m , instead of 4. But tba prospect of bavin aa additional hour added to the da s labor ass great ly alarmed three psutrrd eletka, sad they have been making into print, end rusbing to I hose memtams of Congress with wbem lhy are aetpisiuted in or der to pofaoedc ik-ie la vote sgainst the bill. Tha stock atgaiott mmd by tbem is that mental UUr muck more fatiguing than manual labor, but, to tbis it may ba truly sid tbst not one clerk in ten ia capable of mental labor, or is expected to pet form work tbst re quires such thought or study aa atiaine the higher faculties. To tboea who know the reel condition of tbinga in the Government offices tbeee complaints very ridiculous. Here are 15,000 persona, supposed to be working fur tha Government, but (hey are without an overseer, and have boon for twenty years without an inspector. They are responsible to nobody, and tbey- come as near doing nothing from Christmas to Christ maa aa any like number that ever lived. I wish tbe reader could have a hit de-eye view of nil tbe sui- plojeea in all tha offices of tbe U. 8. Government. lie would aee earpted and frescoed rooms, desks that cost sixty dollars, lu x urioua chairs and lounges, ex quiaite writing paraphernalia, all tha equipments ef a clerical 8ardenajalu. He would sea sybarite clerka, male and female, reading, gossiping, smoking, neglecting tba work which half their numoer couie eaaiiy periorm. laay neglecting tbe work, for it ia aeterieus that work in many offices is far in ar- m. 1. . . j;r It .ft M W 1 lT:mi aiwaiw un- ficult, hut the workmen are incompe tent and idle, and have no one to keep them employed. Take tbe Patent Of fioe'M an example. In this office there art nearly one huudred and fifty ex aminer whose business it is to exsmine inventions and allow patents upon such as appear to be new. Yet, owing to tbe neglect, idleness, and shrinking of a majority of these examiners, many inventots have to wait from ten weeks te one year before their cases are ex amined and suaed upon.

The net profit to the Government from the Patent Office was, last year, $325,351. And the amount to the credit of the Patent Office accumulated since 1337 is $2,205,471. Considering the faot tbst the Patent Office is nob only self- supporting but contributes largely to tbe revenues of tbe Government, it is certainly due to inventors, the suppor ters of tbe Patent Office, that tbey should have their business promptly executed. physically Gov. Alexander H. Stephens Is said to be almost a wreck, bat be is still a giant mentally. His small and nearly . helpless body is wheeled about from place to place.

A diapatcbof the lXtb from Wash ington says : Tito fate of tbe senate tariff bill will be nettled to-morrow, and indications U-nigbt are that it will be killed. If it does, the r spensibtlity will rent on the Republican party fail ing to peas a bill aatikfactory to the monopolist of Pannsytvsnia and Ohio. They do not dare give tbe house an opportunity to psaa oon the work of tha aenate.

Seven years after, she married Mr. Jessie, a very highly respected gentleman at Wall Walla, one of tba pieueera, however, of Yam hill. Mrs. Jennie was mush reapeeted by all who knew her.

It is said that the committee rooms of tha United States Senate are now a place ef almost continual resort by those who are disposed to tipple. Even New England Senators are said to indulge freely. We have to say that a rnajori tt of the United States Senators are Republicans. A project is favored in certain quar ters to entirely do away the territory Idaho.
