w The members of Congress will be
oplisee - 90 through the holidays without
cent OF moneJ, unless the House elect
Speaker. The law a-.horizes the members
to draw the three quarters s-,ary or about
twenty-five hundred dollars each, and their
mileage, on the first day of the session. But
it also provides that their checks should be
signed by the Speaker. They are getting
pretty "hard up" now, for money. Some of
them have given drafts at short dates that are
maturing. The correspondent of the Journal
of Commerce says that, up to the 18th inst,
the Sergeant-at-Arms had advanced the most
needy about forty thousand dollars, and his
bank must be nearly exhausted. The whole
amount due to the members is million of
dollars. This may help to bring about an
organization, or, at all events, to prevent a
dissolution of the Union, before New Years.
1t may be taken for granted that Congress
will do no business, whether organized or not,
this side of New Years. About the 1st of
February, and not before, the Deficiency Bill,
with the appropriation for paying the Post
Office accounts, to the amount of seven and a
half millions, will pass. They must be paid
in the reasonable Treasury notes. The esti-
mates are said to be very low for the next
fiscal year-only fifty-one millions besides
the public debt.

A Pn1LANTHRop1c ENrsRpR1sE.-A move
ment has recently been made at Keokuk to
secure the establishment by the State of
Reform School for juvenile criminals, instead
of sending them to the penitentiary, where
they are degraded, and are more likely to
become confirmed in vicious habits than
reformed. 1t is stated that one-fourth Of the
convicts now in our State Prison are boys
between the ages of IA and 81. The estab-
lishment of State Reform School, under
these circumstances, appears to be dictated by
wisdom and humanity. Although the Repub-
licans have already been severely censured as
extravagant for providing asylums for the
unfortunate, we think the people will sustain
our ensuing General Assembly, if it adopts
measures to establish the proposed Reform
School.

An Appeal for WapsimomOc.

Ma. EDITOR Wapdnonoc is effervescing,
boiling over, fhming with patriotism bnt,
alas we lack good and efficient leaders in
the great and noble cause of saving this
ga-lorious Union. Now, this dearth of
suitable timber out of which to manufacture
officials, speakers and committee men, is a
fact which we s'deplore" ''deprecate," sac.
knowledge with deep regret" land view
with still greater regret and horror" -
Desiring, as we do, to be saved with the
rest OF the Union, we would be pleased, in.
deed, to have some assistance in the per.
torrance of that we esteem q duty ibcum-
bent on all communities, making any pre-
tensions to patrio tism, viz I: the making of
q public demonstration in favor of conserva-
tism and against all incendiary fanatical,
''treasonable and insurrectionary publica-
tons" their authors and those who aid in
circulating them. In view of these facts we
would ask whether few of the patriotic
and far-seeing citizens of Muscatine could
not be prevailed on to come to our rescue
We would be pleased, delighted, over
whelmed with gratitude to see the chair.
man and secretary of the Uuion Meeting
recently held in your city, as we'll as the
orator in chief OF that occasion, (whom, as
you will remember, the people of West
Liberty appreciate so highly)-notforgetting
the distinguished chairman of the committee
on resolutions, in our midst, to cheer US on
aud assist us in the performance OF this great
duty. However, should it he inconvenient
for the last mentioned individual to attend
in person-for lie doubtless spends much Of
his time terminating on the fallen condition
of q portion of our beloved country-we
hope, at least, to have something from him,
if it should be nothing but the brooches, in
the pocket of which he carried those famous,
those immortal resolutions passed at your
late meeting. A presence so august woulf
no doubt be the next thing to ''ressurec
tion," and by that means we might be en-;
abled to draft set of resolutions that wpAld
answer our purpose. -
A meeting here for such O purpose with
prospect of the assistance Of a character
50 distinguished, would doubtless be large ly
attended for, let me assure you, we nave
quite suffciency OF the true principle
amongst US. All we lack is the ability to
''get up'' the resolutions.
Do intercode for us with these high-miid-
cd @ gentlemen, Mr.. Editor, that we my
be enabled to mako fair show of patriotlm
before "all the world and the rest of min

There is an immense amount of truth in /:
Theatrical exhibitions fail by beng
repeated. Most managers-think they do veil
if they can make a Play rum six weeks. But
the theatrical performers who enact the
thrilling Drama of Dissolving the Union
seem to think they can go on repeating it;
with success, till the end Of time. fFa6'l.l :
"Just before every Presidential election, a
hue and cry is raised in Congress over mag
mary dangers to the Union. The Doughface
press fans the excitement When It has
ripened, meetings areheld to appeaseSouthern
wrath, which is supposed to be just ready to
devour the country, and the people are urged,
as the only way of salvation, lto-vote the
Democratic ticket.
"The curtain falls, on the entrance of a
Democratic President into the White House.
and the Play is over for another four years.
but it has been seen so often that the
Melodrama has become Farce. The rant
about Disunion has grown threadbare with
thirty years use. Handing the, Union to such
rulers as Pierce and Buchanan begins to be
distrusted as panacea for agitation" The
Play was successful Play in its time, but it
is played OUT" ;aa ID
