GREAT FASHIONABLE INsURRECTIoN-
Coal SCUTTLEs REpUDIATEp. - We
learn from good authority that the mil
liners have given up the effort to circu-
late the coal scuttle bonnets, and that
the manufacturers Of New Yolk and
Connecticut have entirely discontinued
their manufacture, and are at work on
different style, which will soon be out.
The coal scuttle style, produced SO much
ridicule and disgust that there has been
very little sale for them, and the miIiin-
ers find they must get up something diff
ferent or sell no spring bonnets at all.
We think the wome n could have stood
the ridicule, and would have swallowed
their own disgust at the shapeless things,
but the idea that they make their
wearers look at least dozen years older
settled the question. A successful re-
bellion against Paris fashion, duly pro-
mulgated, is one of the events Of the
age. Nobody can doubt now that the
world moves,-Springfeld, Mass Re-
publican.

WIND WAaoNs.-So Some time ago we
mentioned that Mr.. Andy Dawson, OF
tuscaloosa, was constructing a wind
wagon in which he intended to 90 to
Pixies Peak. Since that time the ma
chine has been finished and realized the
most sanguine expectations Of the pro-
jector, carrying him through in twenty
days. Encouraged by his success. other
parties in the same to yn set about the
construction of the same kind of wag-
ons, and on Monday party of eight
started out on the prairies to try one
which had just been finished. The
wind was blowing . gale at the time.

II, in the language Of noted Ex-
Congressman, We ever "lost our se'f-re'
spect" for anything under heaven, it was
for the lower House Of Congress OF
these great United States. During onr
late sojourn at ashington, We frequent
ly embraced the opportunity of visiting
the halls of Congress, and We must say
though it is with feelings Of shame for
our great country-that We were never
so severely disappointed in our lives as
we were with the general appearance
and demeanor Of the members Of the
lower House. The discord and confu-
sion which reigns there from the open
ing of the session until it closes, is
enough to sicken the heart and turn the
stomach of any American citizen. No
member seems to be paying attention to
his business-or rather all attend to the
same thing with one voice, in the same
moment. No respect is paid to brother
members. One member may be deliver
ing one Of these long winded speeches,
which are scattered over the country in
phamphlet form among admiring con-
stituents /; the rest in saloon below, or
talking, laughing and hobnobing about
the room with q looseness that would
do honor to a country caucus or Sun.

Nobody knows what is going on in

but the Globe reporters. Members are
obliged to read the Globe in order to as

They don't know themselves.

these occupy the floor it is worth while

Journal.

Mr.. Stewards Defeat and the Albany
Journal.
Mr.. George Dawson, one of the lead
ing editors Of the Albany journal,
whites and publishes on his personal re
sponsibiIity, and without consulting MIR.
Weed, letter in that print, from which
we extract the following:
misrepresentation has achieved its
work. The timid and credulous have
succumbed to threats and perversions.
To please a few thousand men Of cquivo-
cal principle and faltering faith, millions
of loyal hearts have been saddened.
The recognized standard-bearer of the
Republican party has been sacrificed
upon tie altar of fancied availability.
Estates, whose repl escnta-
tives have never vet inhaled sufficient of
the free spirit Of RepubIicapism, to as
sumo its name, demanded the immola-
ton, and they were graliied. Love OF
"o..;stoaoy, admiration for long lite of
devotion to Freedom, and heroic pur-
pose to stand or fall by the nobcst en-
bodiment of undiluted and undefiled
principle, all had to succumb to fancled
expedieucy and bitter hate.
''The result is less defeat of William
H. Seward than a triumph of his per-
sonal enemies. The sentiment which
eliminated in his rejection, was chiefly
manufactured by those whose dislike OF
the man was infinitely in advance of
their love for his principles. For wears
he has been their Mordecai At the Kings
gate; aud, by feeding the doubts Of
some, by exciting the apprehensions Of
others, and by the industrious utterance
OF misrepresentation to all, they have,
like their ancient prototype, seemingly
attained the end they have so far covct-
ed, and secured the discontinue Of those
who have, for long years, looked aud
hoped for the coming day when William
II. Seward should attain the exalted po-
sition for which no living man is SO
worthy. l know, very well, that many
of those by whose hands this immola-
ton was actually consummated, did not
share in this spirit of envy and hate F.:
but enough did to turn the scale and /
have no wish to withhold from them this
acknowledgment Of their right to the
Communications which they will covet
from those who are in sympathy with
Them"
Mr.. Dawson concludes his letter by
the remark that Hundreds of thousands
of true Republicans have already thought
all and more than / have written
