FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY ?, 1897.
Much as we are opposed to Military Presi-
dent. we deem it our duty TO inform the ci,i-
zens of Alexandria, that they are respectfully
invited by General Duff Green TO attend Gene
raj Jackson Caucus in Washington tomorrow.
we learn that Boys, under the age OF twelve,
will be excluded.
The Bankrupt Bill was yesterday revived in
the Senate, on MIR. Sandford's motion 10 recon-
slider the vote Of the previous day. The friends
of the measure expect TO succeed, BY emitting
the esd srction, and with that view the bill was
referred to Selec, Committee. The general
impression, however, is that the bill is Irrevo-
cably lost.
The resolution offered in the House Of Rep
resen,atives on Wednesday, by Mr.. Saunders
Of North Carolina. demanding Of the Secreta-
~ Of State his reasons for taking the public
printing from certain Jackson newspapers, was
Yesterday called up by the mover, who deliver
ed an eloquent Billiard-,able Speech or the &C.
caSion, in which he charged the Secretary OF
State with corrupt motives, and announced his
determination Of moving TO vest the power of
selecting printers some where else than in the
State Observation-Disclosures, he did not say-but,
perhaps in the hands Of Mr.. EATON Of the
Senate Mr.. Wright, of Ohio, replied to the
gentleman, aud in plain terms told him that
his resolution was designed for no other pur-
oose than to afford an opportunity for abus-
ing the distinguished statesman who is a, the
head Of the Department, and 10 furnish mate
rials for newspaper paragraphs The discus
sion was arrested by the Speaker at the ex-
pira,ion of the time allowed COR the considera-
ton Of resolutions, but will be resumed again
to-day. The indications are strong that the
South Carolina KmgM Err0n will break a
lance in support Of the cause. Ii was with dit
fculty he could be restrained yesterday, the
rules OF the House Notwithstanding.
The following remaAks from the Georgia
Journal speak, i, is believed, the unsophistica-
ted sentiments of the people Of Georgia, in rela-
ton 10 Mr.. Calhoun's political course; but the
Representatives Of those people haze been induced
70 forgive: the man who established Press
with his own purse TO ruiE the character oil
CRAWFORD; aud they have bargained to sup
por, ,hesridiculous pretensions OF the GENE
RAJ who haughtily threatened to chastise
their own Governor, for performing his duty
with fidelity to his constituents.
".Nr Calhoun --Rctributive Justice has a,
length overtsken this gentleman. Eie Is at
tackled as much as Mr. Crawford was attacked
by Mr.. Calhoun's very worthy and approved
GOOD friend, Mn Ed,cards the infamous. MIR
Calhoun, now that he has got into a hot place
himself, is all sensiblity. In his letter to the
III. Of Representatives, he discourses most elo
auen,ly and most sentimentaly about his cha
racter, reputation, ruin, premeditated attack
and all that sort of thing. What a pity
il is that he had none Of these fine feelings
when Mn, the notorious, was attempting to
destroy forever the character OF Mr.. Craw-
ford. We should be sorry for Mr. Calhoun,
we've it not for the agency, it is said, and
yer, generally believed, he had in the pursuit OF
Mr.. Crawford As things stand, however, We
view his case with perfect indifference. And
whatever be the result, he will perhaps here
after recollect that those who make leagues
with Beelzebub to scorch Others, will in their
tuin be scorched."
