WAsmisGToS, May 3, 1882.
This morning, the Senate went at an early
hour into Executive Session, after a short d..
bate on the Collins amendment to the Dcfcien
cy bill
In the House, after much difficulty, it was
agreed to dispose Of largo amount .f busn SIS
that has beer on the Speakers table for a long
time. Among the bills that had been resting ou
the Speakers table, waiting for a reference
was the one relative to French Sp,ilatinns-
Just about the close of the days business il
came up FIR consideration, WHEN it was moved
10 reject 1t. This was afterwards Withdrawn
IL was then prop sed to refer it to the Commit
tee of the Whole on Tie Sta.e of the Union,
which would, in ell probability, be its grave
IT was also moved to commit the bill to the
Committee IN Foreign Affairs. Both motions
were before the House at The same time. The
Speaker decided that the question must be first
tnken on the reference to the Committee Of the
Whole on the State Of the Union.-and the ques-
ton being put, the Speaker said the .4yes ap-
pear to have it. At this state of the ques stion,
the yeas and nays were demanded, and lefore
they were taken, (t being about three clock
the House adjourned.
The Senate have decided In date all acts,
granting pensions, back to the time Of the pre-.
sentation of the papers, provided they are favor
ably reported upon to Congress. And this is
very right. Frequently petition is presented
and reported upon two years prior to the final
action of Congress on it. To fix the commence
ment Of the pension, at the date Of the passage
of the act, would be, in such cases, very unfair

country are deeply indebted to the exertions Of
Gen. Jones, one of the Senators from Iowa, for

AccIDESr.-A son Of STE phen G. Fennimore,
about five years of age, was badly hurt on
Wednesday, by kick from horse. The horse
was shod and struck the boy in the temple
producing what is feared, severe fracture
The little fellow is in a critical situation, but
we trust under the prompt treatment of DR.
Horr, he may finally overcome the injury.
It is not improper under this head, to remind
heads Of families, that too little restraint is
placed upon children. Not day passes, but
little children, from three to six years of age,
are to be seen straying many streets from home,
and lodging about, to avoid rapid riders and
drivers, which are quite common in our City
They are liable at every hour in the day, to be
rode or driven over, and it is really surprising
with such state of things, that so few are harm
ed. As our City increases in size. the DANCE,
will increase in corresponding ratio, and un.
less sense Of duty prompts our people to cor
rect this evil, we shall not be surprised to hea,

THE WEATHER The weather for the last
few days has been cold and disagreeable. Re-
ally we begin to fear the rusuts which may be
apprehended from the unprecedented backward
ness of the present spring. We have had but
four or five warm and invigorating days this
spring, and now it is tn. 9th Of May. The far
mers have hid little or no opp ,rtunity for put
ting in their crops, and had it been otherwise,
the earth is too cDld to receive the seed with
safety. Unless favorable change speedily
comes, and the cold weather Of fall delays its
visit t. late period, we have reason to appre.
hend serious decline in III, crops of the pres
cnt season. We trust this will not be the case,
but we gin to fear it.

Decidedly Cool.

There is a neutral journal not thousand
miles off, whose editors say, they feel respect
for their profession. 1t is very fortunate for
themselves and the community, that they have
named it. A journal which has teamed with
every species of low vulgarity and scandal for
the last year, and one of whose editors, has been
publicly convicted OF falsehood, should not be
too prompt to arraign others for their supposed
errors. Let these men mark out a correct stand
ard of respectabiIity, and follow it faithfully
themselves, and none will complain when they
attempt to bring the community to that stand
ard. But so long as they disregard every prln-
ciple OF deeeney, consistency and moral accoun-
liability in their intercourse with men, they
cannot expect conscientious men to Look up
to them as standard for the government o
their conduct. Men Of intelligence and pure
impulses ARE not in the habit of believing thing
to be right and doing exactly the opposite
they do not ScrUe too masters.
Come, come, let our meek and lom,y disci
pies within the sacred precincts of that ere
sacred corner Of the Globe, either elevate thei
standard of morality, or abaadon the idea o
bringing others to it.
