ly passed both Houses Of Congress

commission on what lie collects. The
assessor while assessing, is to receive
five dollars a day and for preparing his

The republican members of Con-
gress are about to issue an address
All they have done for the past yea,
has been to make addresses full of folly
and faNaticism. To be sure they were
addressed to the President of the Sen.
ate and Speaker of the House, but
were intended for the country at large
We should suppose the long time they
have had to make addresses, and the
industry with which it has been ina
proved, would have exhausted not only
them, but the subject. But it appears
that the niger is full of endless sug.
gestions, and, like the song of "the
M;llers Dog,'' contains more verses
than have ever been sung. The nigge,
certainly has produced more music than
any other melodist, and the abolition
members of Congress, after playing
on him increasingly for years, cannot
r resist the fascination of keeping up tho
, same old tune during the recess of Con
, gress. For Heavens sake, let us have
5 at least variation.--.Chicago Times.
