EXCITING SCENE N CoxoREss.-On the 9Th
inst, rather exciting scene occurred in the
House. Mr.. Kelsey, on question OF priyi-
lege, read an editorial in the y. 7. Tiru.s, in
which members Of Congress and lobby agents
were charged with gross corruption, the MIN
nesota land bill being named in this connection.
He offered resolutions proposing the appoint
ment of committee Of five 10 investigate the
charge, report the evidence, &c At this
juncture, Mr.. Paine, OF North Carolina rose
and stated that he had been offered $500 To
vote for the bill. named. by member Of the
House. Instantly all was excitement, some
CRYING 'Who is he - expose him 80 and
others s.Down in 'front.' ssStand out Of the
ai>les, we can't see,'' &c. Mr. Paine said he
wonld mention no names only before the pro
posed committee IS witness. The Reason
Why he had not mentioned the matter before
sas because, on u former occasion, membcr
vas only jeercd and laughed Al TOR stating thlt
he had been tampeFed with Tor his vote Tor
Speaker. Quite a number Of members gsYe
their views on the ijcc;, pitching into esli-
tors generally and the Times editor l.artIcu-
larry, and amidst great confusion, the resolu-
ti"n of Mr.. KELSEY, in az amended form. was
adopted. Ar. Btrksiaie wished to amend by
directing an iHqUir" to be made, whether any
member Of the House has sold or sprculated
in books purchased for distribution. Laugh
ter, and a voice. ,aiso inquire whether any
member has sold his seat.''I Objection ,yas
made 10 the introduction OF Mr. B. amend
ment. Several members exclaimed-..ltt IL
go on the record.' House then adjourned.

THE WIDOWS S&o0--At the recent term of
the Supreme Court OF Pennsylvania, case
was decided settling the law relative To the
$500 exemption act Of 1919. 1t was held by
the Court that the widow of a decedoGt is en-
titled TO three hundred dollars out Of the pro-
ceeds Of the sale Of his real estate, in prefer
ence TO 4 Judgment creditor in whose favor the
husband had waived che benefit Of the said cx-
emption Act. Judge Lowrie, in giving the
decision of the Court, says :-'.The creditor
might have diYestcd his whole estate In his
lifetime; but not having done 50. the pros
pcctiye provision in favor OF the widow comes
into operation and restricts his remedy so far
as to prevent it from interfering with the right
granted TO her.
