very hot bed of Locorocosm and Free Trade-how
he ruises high the BANNER of PRorEcrIoN TO

Charity of Lamea x. poIk,

On the LIST OF FEBRUARY, 1881, Mr.. Wash
ington, ofthe House of Representatives, pre-
scented statement from the Mayor of George
town d. c., relative TO the suffering cendi-
ton of the psor Of that city. The winter
was oneof unusual and extraordinary sever

cisnt, in the city, to meet the wants Of the
suffering 1t SO happened that there was at
that period collected within the yard of the
Capitol more wood, much more than would
be needed for the wants of Congress. Mr..
Washington accordingly moved that Of this
superiority, thirty cords be placed at the dis
poSal of the Mayor of Georgetown, TO be APP
proprated for the relief Of the suffering psor
eff that city. Was there any one present SO
lunfecling insensble to the dictates of human
ty~-so deaf TO the cry of distress and suffer

its very walls, as to object to this charitable
pre- position? Yes, there aOas one. He rose
and opposed the motion. It was a bad exam

hoard up wood to deal il out to the paupsfs
