WASHINGTON, May H.
THE ILLINOIS AMINADAB SLEEK,
| in Congress, the moral brother Lovejoy,
| is peculiarly gifted in ranting hypocrisy
He parades his intense horror of sin and
denominations Of all kinds upon every con-
ceiyable opportunity. He is immensely
laborious in the grand schemes of estab-
fishing diplomacy between this Govern
ment and the African powers of Liberia
and Hayti-tirelessly engaged in sending
long, lank school marins, shad- -bellied
pedagogues, bibles, red flannel pantaloons,
brogan boots and bowie knives, from Bos-
ton, Massachusetts,, to the niggers at Hill
ton Head, South Carolina, upon week
days, and preaching to the niggers in
Washington upon Sundays, He is ne
grophilist of magnificent proportions
But as mileageist he is rather heavier
than in any other line He comes to
Washington in spirit by the way of Cairo,
and then up to Pittsburg, and to this pro-
pinquity of hacks, other things and mag
nifcent distances Since he became
member of Congress he has drawn thous-
ands of dollars more of money in mileage
than either law or conscience would per-
NIT.
For the truth of this statement he and
the public are confidently referred to the
books. of the Office, of the Sergeant-at-
arms of the House of Representatives.
His Illegally gotten mileage would, at the
present prices current, purchase and eman-
cipate 'severair scullud pussons.' Why
don't this great moral sample of the great
moral party of Cameron, Fremont and
Cataline Noah Morgan Welles come down
with his dust, gotten so easily by travel
ing imaginary miles over NEUROLOGICAL
routes, and set free some Of his colored
brothers.? We raise our paws for a reply

too, is not slow on the mileage question.
He draws like a mule team, mustard
plaster or steanftug. He has got enough
big mileage to buy several farms and mig
.ers to stock them; and for this see also
the books of the Sergeant alarms, of the
House of Representatives. These pure,
meek and lowly Republicans are certainly
a very honest setiof men, and I would as
soon hear of Cameron's stealing some
thing or Welles' grabbing few thous-
and dollars through brother law, as
to learn that any Republican member of
Congress had stolen few hundred dol
lars in the shape of Romantic mileage.
Let the taxpayers of Lovejoys dis
trict, and of Washburne's district petition
the white house of Representatives for a
statement of the amount of mileage that
these worthless have drawn during their
Congressional career. They ought to do
this so as to know certainly how much of
an income tax they may collect on these
Sleeks and Chadlands.- In that light it is
of some public interest that the matter
should be fully understood. a
