LITCHFIELD,' JUNE 5, 1893.


 now closed, both Houses having adjourned on Mon day the 26th ut. Although considerable business has been transacted during this session. yet little has been done in comparison with what might have been, had our representatives instead of induging in political chickering's and party strife, attended as- 5iduousy to their duties. Considerable wormwood and ga!r has been exhibited in the proceedings of our National Legislature in the course of the last winter and our representatives have at least proved that they adopts at invectve and recrlmInaton, if not in the more sober employment of making laws for the benefit of the country. The retrenchment resolutions have afforded fine field for the opposl- ,on to display thelr skill i'll abusing the adminstra- ,on, and the msanthropic Randolph has had an ex- ceent opportunity, under the auspices ofthe Jack son Speaker, of indulging his hate and venting his spleen against every body and every thing. This man has been successivey the vruent abuser of every administration since that of the elder Adams, and it to be expected that the present one will also be honoured with due proportion of the honorable genteman's enmty. Every measure that IS proposed comes under his ban like the Irish woman, he will tight for his friends, with them, as occasion may reu;re, and we know of reason that can be given for his anomalous conduct, except that " he hath <leyil."-Among the most important acts winch have been passed are the Tariff Bill, the Bill authorl- zing subscription to the stock of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal Company, and the Bill for the Re- lief of the Surviving Officers of the Revolution By the two first of these Bs the principle ot encoura- ging Domestic Manufactures, and promoting the cause of Internal Improvements, has received the re- newed sanction of Congress, and declaration has again been made by the assembled representatives ot the nauon, notwithstanding the attempts of the V'r- ginia school of politicians, by their metaphysical sunt leties to tie down the power of Congress to the let ter and not the spirit of the Constitution that these objects constitute the established policy of our Gov ernment. The large majority of Congress Tn favor of both of these measures, is fair indication of the views entertained by large share of the people upon this subject and the friends of the fundamental prlh' ciples connected with the passage of these bs have new cause for encouragement to persevere m the'r endeavors to bring about the important results winch they contemplate, for the farther we advance m ths great path of national policy, the less danger there IS of any retrogade movement. These measures are coeya with the wealth and prosperity of our country, and it is encouraging to see the government cont'nue to extend to them fostering hand. It has been the unwavering policy of the present administration to promote them, notwithstanding the violent opposition i, has to encounter from the adherents ofthe Militia " Chieftain"-The Bill for the Relief of the Sur vivng Officers of the Revolution is not quite so just ;n all it's bearings as could have been desired but is no, to be expected that Bill can be formed that will touch every individual case.
 Fires in Ne,v- York.---On the 26h ult. fire broke out in New-Y York, which destroyed large number of buildings, among which the Bowery Theatre.- rwo ar three other destructive fires have since oc- cured in that place. We have not yet learnt the a. mount of property destroyed, but it must have been immense. There seems to be little doubt that some or all of these fires were communicated by incendares The insurance offices have offered reward af $l 900 for the apprehension of any person or persons who may have been guilty of this crime.
 Franklin Baak-We learn that the Franklin Bank, in New-York, has stopped payment; it IS however said that the bills will be paid in ful and that the stockholders alone will suffer-
 Appoitg.eass bv tke President, by and cith the ad ,ice and consent of the Se9sate.-James Barbour, of Virginia, to be Envoy Extraordinary and Minister Plenpotentary to Great Britain.
 William H. Harrison, of Ohio, to be Envoy Extra ordinary and Minister Plenpotentary to the Republic
 Peter Porter, of New-York, to be Secretary of War.
 Army of the U. $.
 John Randolph, in one his speeches, holds the following language relative to the political ergiversa- lions of our northern "dough iaces.'
 "You talk of our governing you by the reprexen- tation of our black slaves at the Southyou ms taken: we have governed yon, by means Of your white slaves at the North, and we will continue to do so."
 This scornful taunt, though one of Randoph's most cutting sarcasms, is nevertheless true. The south ern members of Congress always unite to man, for the purpose of carrying any measure calculated to benefit the south while the northern members d. ways divided, half of them cooperating with those of the south against the wishes and the interest of their constituents and all Ley receive in return for their trucking subserviency southern dctation, is such scoruful taunts as the above, perhaps told Randolph said of John Holmes, U. $. Senator in Congress from Maine, who had violated the wishes of his constituents, and acted with the opposition, that they are not fit for gentleman to touch, ex- cept with pair of tongs"-When political aberrance m public men meets with that treatment from the freemen which it deserves then will the people be served with fidelity until that time arrives, and men oF known rmuess and integrity are elevated to ofce
