Congressional.

Nearly three weeks have now beeu
wasted by the Fusion Congress in inef-
fectusl attemps to organize. The coun-
try has to pay for this family quarrel of
the FusioniSts al the rate of at least five
thousand dollars. A glorious reform
party. isn't it? Very much opposed ic
extravaganza and wasting of the public
fund Hcw deeply they sympathize
with the oppressed tax payer! The peo-
pie will remember that the Fusioniss
have aboul two-thirds of all the members
of the present Congress, and that The
Democrats are in no wise responsible for
this delay.-DemocraL

Bile The memory of the Democrat is
either remarkably short, Dr. else the
Democratic party were guilty of squan-
dering valuable time, most awfully.
But aside from these antecedents, the
charge that the Republicans are alone
responsible for the delay, in the organi-
sation of the House Of Congress, is SIM
ply ridiculous. Ilisthe pro-slavery lead
ers of the Democratic party that have
brought this crisis upon us. They have
had the sole control OF all departments
of the general government, for the last
three years, and of the House, with a
partial exception of two years) for the
last twelve years. They have steered
the ship of State among breakers, from
which they cannot extricate it. and the
people have resolved to commit the helm
to ADLER hands.
If the Democratic party are so anxious
to put an end to the strife, it is only he,
cessary for eight of their members to vote
for Mr.. Banks, and the thing is done

necessary for a choice. Mr.. Banks re-

tainly does not expect the majority to
succumb to the N noriIy. We hope the
supporters of Mr.. Banks will not yield an
inch, if no organization takes place till

A strange destiny appears to attend
every member of the Bonaparte family.
Tie present Emperor of France is not
the only one who has risen from a dis
graceful obscurity to an exalted %notorie-
" ; though the rise of all his relatives
may be traced to his rise. a few years
ago, a drunkard and idle fellow, who
styled himself Prince Murat, lOun9ed on
dirty counters of low doggeries in Bor-
d%enlown, New Jersey. He used to drinE
and smoke, and swear, and carouse with
the yilest characters in the town while
his patient, but high spirited wife, kept
\ respectable school, and his ariStocratic
looking daughter sat in her little cham

Years passed away, and the worthless
loafer turned up at Paris, holding the
rank of Prince. Near the Tuilerles he
has established a miniature court, where
ne receives the homage Of acrowd oil ltal-

holding the sceptre OF Naples. Perhaps
we shall, one of these days, hear of the

Can a CLERGYMAN Marry himself.

A curious ease has Just decided by
the Irish Court of Queens Bench, in
which the question arose as TO the legiti-
macy of children Of a marriage where
the father was a clergyman, and be mar

The Rev. S. S. ReamiSh was duly or
dained a clergyman of the United
Churches of England and Ireland, and
it appeared hat on the eth of Novem-
Der, 1881, being then in holy orders, he
went to the house Of Anne Lyons, in the
city of Cork. and there performed a cere
mony of marriage between himself and
Isabella Fraser. The special verd CT
described the manner in which the cere-
mony took place, and the general form
of solemuization was that set out in the
Book of Common Prayer of the United
Churches of England and Ireland, Mr..
Reamish then declaring that he took the.
said Isabella Fraser to be his welded
wife, she taking him TO be her welded
husband. The wedding ring was then
placed upon her finger, and the blessing
pronounced. Judge Champion deli, cred

marriage.

lie Is a bold, frank, and chivalrous
man, as his personal conduct during
many years service in the House has
demonstrated. our only regret in con-
nection with him Is, not that he was not
saddled with the trying duties of the
Speakership of the thiriy-fourth Con-
gress; but that so emphatic and so ge-
NAL a gentleman as he is in all his per-

time we fancy those who supported him
honestly and earnestly have come to
realize that no one of his peculiar poll

apparent to us long before Monday of
last week, as duly set forth in the STR.
The correspondent of the New York
Times thus notes the cool and quiet
manner in which Lewis Campbell ham

Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, did a hand
some thing in debate this morning. Mr..
Smith Of Tennessee, endeavored to draw
from him some remarks calculated to

was TOO sharp a politician TO be caught

Benefit Of Advertising.

The Toledo Blade, gives the following
example of the benefits of advertising
they deserve the especial attention of Ou-
siness men:
Some ten years since, when Detroit
was very little, if any larger than Tole-
do, Two young men, strangers, opened a
dry goods store. They were from the
Eis', where tie true principle of adver-
tisiag is understood better than at the
West. HaVin gtaken a store centrally SIT
uated, they opened with TIE determine
ton Of expanding their entire profits, ex-
cept rent and clerk hire, for the first year,
IN advertising and printing. They did
so, ~expending about 81 400. The next
year they set apart half their profits for
the same purpose, but long before the
year expired, The Senior partner told the
writer OF this article that they could
not expend as much as they Lad anrici-
pated, for The only reason they could find
no place TO use il.
Every paper in the State almost, con
tanned their business notices, while their
handbills, circulars, and cards were scat
te ed broadcast. In his way they have
gone on, ~expending annually about Joa-
thousand dotlarS. until their business has
50 increased that they occupied ten sale
rooms, eaca 100 feet in depth by % IN
width, and giving employment To nearly
one hundred clerks. One OF the partners
told Us jhat their business the past yeas
amounted TO a trife oven Il million and a
half OF dollars. leaving them a net profit,
over ail expenses, OF over fifty thousand
dollars.

Now and Then.


The question of popular sovereignty,
as applied 10 Kansas and Nebraska, will
be the leading issue in the approaching
Presidential campaign.-Demoeraf.
Some six months ago, our neighbor
was quite distressed because We persist
ed in declaring that the question of free
dom in the territories had swallowed up
all others, and he a~ffectionately entreated
US 10 leave such a trifing thing as the
Kansas and Nebraska act, and discuss
some more practical subject, KnowNoth-
ingism, for instance.
Well, we are glad he has come 10 his
senses. Better late than never.
But. now the question is narrowed
down 10 the single point of freedom or
slavery, in all the vast territory belong
ing to the United States and upon that
single question. as the Democratic party
admits, will turn the issue of the next
Presidential election. Nor is This all,
VI on the next Presidential election de-
ponds the question of freedom or slavery
in the territories. The two questions
stand together. They cannot be sepa-
rated. The Democratic party has gone
over, rank and file, body and soul, to the
slave interest. The Rel ublican party
stand directly opposite to the advance
of slavery. Il now only remais for
the free voters of the United States
to choose, whether the states, which in
the neal future will be formed out Of that
territory, shall come into the confedera-
cy, as free states, and fit homes for free
men; OF whether the whitening cu1se OF
slavery, shall rest upon them, virtually
prohibiting their settlements by free Ia
boring men; and whether more weight
shall be added 10 the incumbus of slave
power which p~aralyses the energies Of
the whole country, gives the lie to our
charter of equal rights, and disgraees the
name Of the United States.

Affairs at WASHINGTON.

We extract the following from the
Washington correspondence Of the n. Y.
Courier and Enquirer, OF Dec. 18Th. As
no news has been received which changes
the aspect of affairs, this exhibits the
present stale of things, as well as the
past:
1.-The monotony of the struggle On the
Spreskership is unrelieved by even a ru
NOR. The Banks men have declared
their independence, and are rallying their
supporters TO maintain it. Ifear they will
be compelled to yeild toa factious mino
rity. The question is between one hundred
and seven members, who do prefer Mr..
Banks, TO some fourteen Southern mem
bers, who do not. As these latter gen
tlemenar evidently resolved TO hold out,
it is manifest that they ought to hold
a caucus, and nominate a candidate for
the acceptance Of the one hundred and
seven who have been standing together
for nearly a week in the honest endeavor
10 organize The House. The fourteen
anti-Nebraska opponents of Mr.. Banks
are the following Williams, Wheeler,
Whitney and Havens, Of New York
Harrison, Ball and Moore, of Ohio ;
Dunn and Scott, of Indiana and Edie
and Millward, Of Pennsylvania. If these
genllt men can make a nomination &C
ceplable 10 a majority, they ought to dc
