Tar FOSSIL CONVENTION At WAsnIScros.
Nothing can better illustrate the stu
pidity and uniitness Of politician N a
great crisis like the present, than the
Convention Of old fossils now sitting at
Washington with closed doors, like a
Venetian Senate, excluding all their pro.
ccedings from the public and the press,
who are most vitality interested in the
nhisrf II :hrir rassrnh'aFs Na.y'T q,
Ohio, and many others, have been dead
for years past, and grass is luxuriant on
their graves In fact, the Convention is
little better than revival Of spiritual.
ism--a ghostly aud chopfalen gathering
In conducting their proceedings with
sealed doors, they are doing what they
were used to do in their lifetime. They
do not understand what is going on in
the world now, nor do they know that
the country has advanced a whole ccntu
ry since they were alive.-Nen Yorh
