Congress, although In rion two wsska has as yet accomplished very little work, mainly for the reason that Speaker Car lisle.owlngtothe unusual pressure brought to near upon mm lor choice committee I places, has been bjlged to defer the ap- ointment of his committees until after the holiday recess, which will be from Dec. 3 aid till Jan. 4th. The only really mportsnt committee thus far organised I that on elections, which, for reasons per-1 sonal to himself Mr Carlisle requested the Houce to appoint one of its duties bslng j to decide the issue between Carlisle and Thobe. Apparently there is no orood cause! r contest, still aa oae has been InstttuL I m I ed by the misguided labor reformer, sol called, It must be disposed of accordlag to I the forms of law. There can be little I doubt of the validity of the Keatuckys I tatssman'a claim to his seat. It I already evident that much of the time of Congress during the present set- sion will be uselessly consumed In the dls- cusston of purely political question ; but on the eve of what is destined to be one I of the most etching and closely contested I Presidential campaigns in the country's history, this is, perhaps, unavoidable. The first political tirade of the session was de- llvsred, without the slightest provocation In tne House by the Republican leader, Mr Reed, of Maine, being a rather feeble and flatulent arraignment of the Demo I cracy on the tariff question. However, a few ringing sentences from Messrs Cox and Hatch sufficed to effectually silence the batter! ts of th burly Boanerges of lhe Republican party, in the Senate that notorious champion of fraud, and vote stealer, "Bill" Chand ler, has presented an Indictment agslnst four sovereign StatesSouth Carotins, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana pro posing to regulate their Congressional elections, through the medium of Federal Intervention. Chandler's Idea of regulat ing elections was exemplified by the Re publican rape of tht electoral votes of three ef these same Slates la the canvass of 1 &70-77, and "Bill" realises that the sup. port of these com monatitic i necessary for Rspublicaa success next year. But Chandler will get nothing bat a little cheap political capital out of his partisan I resolution. ! Probably the Senate bill that will escltc I the most interest and discussion ts that of I Senator Cuilom, providing for the United States Postal Telegraph, appropriating I four million dollars for that purpose and designating a number of the principal cities of the couatry to be connected by the proposed lines ; the bill also provide for the appointment and regulaueu of the employes of the Postal Telegraph. This measure, like the Blair Educational Bill, is a long and significant step in the direction of paternal Government, aad in direct conflict with the spirit and tendencies of our republican system. This being the case, I do aot believe the Democrats can consistent! v suenort sithcr measure. But If both Mils should pass there are good reaaona for ballevinw that the Presidential veto would be Interposed.

A model at tendant discovered them in a compromi ing position hence the public expose The fair clerk Is a protege of her admirer, behaving secured ber a place last winter I Pending investigation ef the case, the be witchintr blonde is susaended from dutv. This ia mentioned a a common phase of Congressional life. i he indication are that there u some opposition to the confirmation of Mr, Lamar's nomination, but net enough to defeat It. It Is hardly probable that the matter will be taken up until after the holiday recess ; then the three most im portant nominations will be acted upon In their regular order Lamar, Vila and Dickinson. The recent reception In this city of two distinguished Irish members of the British Parliament, wa an impressive demonstra tion of American national sympathy for the sufferings of Ireland, aad fitting ex pression was given to this feeling by the eloquent utterances of several prominent Congressmen. The heavily protected industries have more than discovered the fountain of per petual youth. They have discovered the fountain of everlasting babyhood. The people of this country would like to know why, when an industry has grown great and strong.has acquired the power to crush men, to ruin enterprise, and to rob com munities, learned to starve employes into submission, know r all about the methods of purchasing legislation, has become a hog with a dishonest snout, . it is still aa iafant industry. They would like to know this right now. San Francisco, Dec. 7.M. D. Bab cock, inventor of the fire extinguishing apparatus bearing his name, died at the almshouse Saturday, aged 70 years. The cause of death was softening of the brain. At one time he was in receipt of $10,000 a month for royalty on his machines, but after selling patent right the money wa oon spent, and for some years he wand ered about the states in a destitute condi tion. About tlx years ago he was admit ted to the almshouse, where he remained till his death. Everyone remembers Horace Lewis who played "Monte Cristo" here a week or so ago, and who at one scene In the play sways on a painted rock in a painted ocean, and in a this-size-three-for-a-quart-er-voice announces "the wooorllld Is mi-l inc." Over at Seattle when he got that far, one disgusted i ndividual said to his fellow-socialist, who was sitting with him : "Come, V on f ergon, let's go. He's another of them d d monopolists !" Ex.
