Rumors and Humors in Wnshington.NO. L.
WASHINGTON Feb Isl, 1916
Congress has now been in session nine weeks and
for any good it has done it might as well have been
in the future tense in the present.
The last weeks proceedings in Congress have
been somewhat humorous The western wing Of
Loco Focoism begins TO find out that the unhoy
compact of the Baltimore Convention works only for
the benefit of the Southern wing OF the party. II
Oregon and Texas meant only Texas and ne
plas ultra they begin to doubt whether it was
worth while to carry the election OF Polk by killing
off SlLAs WRIGHT, MARTIS VAN BuRES and others
of their deserted and orsaken idols. This is begin
ming to manifest itself in the debates on Oregon in
the House, in speeches from Western and Tariff Lo-
cos who have spoken with great force and keen sar
casm the last few days.
Mr.. WICK Of Indiana in his speech tothcr dny,
doubted the political fidelity of South Carolina De-
mocracy. Ia said that sometimes she opposed -eSu-
lar nominations, but supported the candidates after
a successful contest sometimes she supported the
regular candidates. but refused support the very
Administration which they had elected These in
consistences he seemed TO think South Carolina had
n right 10 practice but he minated that the West
were rather tired of the business.
And vet Notwithstanding his condemnation OF
these things he seemed TO be willing TO cotton still
lower 10 Southern institutions. He protested against
permitting colored men 10 vote. He corld not stand
that Nor did lie like 10 have even California and
Mexico annexed unless they reduced nil their ne
groes TO slavery. He made fling also al the Natur-
allied citizens and did not wish many more OF them
in the Union. unless they consented 10 vote against
their own interests 10y being Loco Focos Pad
dies he said seemed to take Democracy rs easily
as they took smallpox, but Scotchmen and English
men he did not care much Tor. suppose he meant
that the hardy workjngman and mechanic from the
land of Bruce and Burns voted intelligenty for the
party most sincerely committed 10 the Protection of
Home Industry. The man who would prescribe
them for this would soon disfranchise lrshmen if
they refused 10 bow their necks TO the yoke.
Mr. THOMPSON OF Pa. seemed TO think that break
inc down the Tariff was rather too much for
promise on Oregon and that Pennsylvania would
hardly become party 10 the contract. While an
mother distinguished Pennsylv anian thinks that if
Folks doctrines on the Tariff. cxpoundcd in the
Message and BY his Secretary MIR. Walker are
carried out il will take more than one Kane letter
to save the Iron State from becoming Whiggish in
its votes
The hard hits which Mr.. Hoes Of Illinois made at
South Carolina and Virginia, seemed to convince
the chvalry of these two States that such " estcrn
orators should drop the final in their names.
ANDREW JOHNSON OF Tennessee thinks JOHN
QUINCY ADAMS about good Democrat Us JoHS
C. CALHOUN or h. BARNwELL RHErr. and fears
that the party will not stand up unitedy to the Bal
timore Confession of Faith. The debate OF the pas;
week shows that of the party think TIM, others
of their brethren have fallen from the faith. and
are no better than intidels and heretics
This city was in great excitement on FRIDAY,
abou, the rumor that the McXicans had hung Mr..
SLipEII.. Several members OF Congress acclaimed
loudly against this barbarism. They said il was
almost as bad as the conduct of South Carolina and
Louisiana The L States had sent Minister to Mex
leo. The sovereign State OF Massachusetts, had sent
n Minister 10 South Carolina and over 10 Louisiana.
Mr.. SLlpgLI went as n Minister or Commissioner
To Mexico. whom we had robbed of one of her best
Provinces. Massachusetts sent Mr. HoAR as Min
lister or Commissioner TO South Carolina. South
Carolina would have hung. which, quood intention
en-. is the same as il she really had hung Mr. HOAX,
and now repor; said tina, Mexico had hung, which
in crminalty is worse than the intention TO hang
Mr.. SLIpELL. The report happily turned out un-
true rs regards Mr. SLIDELL. and these Northern Nj.
C's have the consolation of believing that Mexico
is not so barbarous the States aforesaid. but they
10 say that if Mr. SLIDELL should be compelled to
leave Mexico as precp,ately as the Massachusetts
Commissioners ere compelled TO leave South Ca.o
lima and Louisiana. that spectators in Powder and
