We gave, a day or two ago, some pic

a correspondent of the Philadelphia In
QUirer. Here are some, by the same
Jenkins, from the House Of Representa-
tives:
Directly in front of the Speakers
chair, and on the inside row OF seats, sits
James 4. Garfield, of Ohio, the young
est member Of the House. He is a
ouiet, unassuming looking man, with
Goht hair and whiskers; yet he has
written his name on the scroll OF fame,
as well with the point OF his truSty sword
as by the silyery eloqnence OF his tongue.
Al the outbreak Of the rebellion he en-
listed in the army and fought his way
M to a major -geneTalship, which he re
sicncd to take his seat in Congress. -
Further on to the right OF the Speaker,
in the same row, but on the Democratic
side of the House, is his colleague, Mr.
George Bliss, a burly man, with proiu
sion of black hair-one of the most intiu-
eotial members of his party, and one OF
thosr left "out in the cold" at the late
election. Nearly behind him is George
II. Pendlcton, late Democratic candidate
for the Vice Presidency. Mr.. Pendieton
| is a man of fine personal appearance
| He is somewhat above the medium
| height, with curly black hair ana sIgh'

The French murderer, Latour, who

Lieutenant Governor Jacobs
Speeeh

We make the following extract from the
late speech Of Lieut. Colonel Jacobs the pres
ent Lieutent Governor of Kentucky, at Lex
ton. He said f
"Mr, Lincoln has changed his ground. and
has taken the position that he will abolish sla-
very, He has crushed tks laws Of bis eouD.
try, been false to the Constitution, and cast
aside the solem oath OF office he had given 10
the people. Instead Of issuing a proelama.
tiOn in accordance with. and to enforce The
laws Of his country, he has issued pronupeia.
mento. He did it not as President Of The
United States, but as the head Of the Rxeeu.
tive Department. That prouuueismento was
startling usurpation Of power. Such a ua.
urPation cost Charles the First his head. So
this usurPation may Yet cost Abraham Lin
coin bis neck. LChsers
Col Jacobs is the b-other-in,laW Of Colonel
Fremont, and the soA-in.law OF the late Col
Thomas H. Bsntos.

THE RIGHT To CRITICisE THE ADMINISTRATION
My resolution points the discriminating
judgement Of the abolitonisls TO the next
four years in full view Of the fact of the con.
tinuance Of the war, and that this summer
the country s to say under what philosophy
the war shall be carried on. The popular cry
is Stand by the administration" recog-
niEe IT. it has broad, deep, patriotic mean
ing. Bat remember, we are Americans and
not Europeans. We live under the Constiiu-
tion oftte United States and not under French
or English rule, and our fathers have laid it
down as the safest and wisest principle Of gov
erAment that every four years the citizen shall
summon the government before him and try
it and record his verdict. We are not only at
liberty as American eitizens--we are bound to
say to the pilot OF the last four years either
you are or you are not my pilot for the COM
ing four. Whoever raises the cry "Stand by
the administration and does not take into
account the conditional limitation that an
American citizen Is bound to stand by the
administration so far and SO long as the Con
stitution allows him. and no longer, forfeits
his franchise under the free institutions ofthe
fathers, and binds bis lips like VassRl Of the
Czar to lite long allegiance.
If were a negro slave, should pray God
that the war might last twenty years, Tor It ig
taking the events out of society and crumb.
ling upon the whole civil and social life into
its original elements and when that work is
done, the negro always comes out free. Wit
ness Soulh America and Mexico
PHILLIPS FOR PEACE
As white American citizen | depreeate a
single month more Of war. / see in It the
seeds Of debt, military ambition aud despot-
ism, against which God will demand virtue
and intelligence in the masses such as history
nowhere shows. The ssitegent Of this war
is not to be by battle, b NJ statesman ship
The greatest anxiety is 1Si for the battlefield,
for there we shall be successful in the end,
but for the Senate-chamber, ekere we are al
ways betrayed
Mr. Phillips proceeded to say that be did
not find fault with Mr. Lncoln so much for
what he had done in the past as for the
philosophy Of his actions. In Mr.. Lincoln's
letter to Mr.. Hodges, as in one Of his papers,
If | understand him, he lays down this prin-
cipe: 81 would fain reconstruct the Union
and touch slavery only as the last inevitable
resort would try every thing else. l would
exhaust all other means before would touch
slavery"

lRetOn with the Republicans
ADMINISTRATION

Here is a paragraph from Washington
paper 1t is said that the Patent Ofice is
rapidly progressing in emulation with the
Treasury Department in the purity OF its
morals. We know of case in point where
one Mollie, single female not yet 2l years
of age will become a mother in less than
two months, to Judge from Appearances. She
is the amanuensis Of an old gentleman in
that noble building 1t is said that the pa.

Seventh street
In Washington, few nights ago, while
Senator Jim Lane was promenadi1g Wash
Ington Avenue his hat was smashed over his
head by youHg woman whom he had basely
seduced So says the Washington eorrespon-
dent of the Springfield Rspabiiean, which
adds
1t is u sad, shocking picture OF life IN
Washington which our Correspondents are
giving US. A bureau of the Treasury De
partment made house Of seduction and
prostitution The necessities Of poor and
pretty women made the means Of thir de-
bauchery by high Government officials
Members Of Congress putting their mistresses
into clerkships in the departments An hon.
orable Senator knocked down in the street
BY a woman whom he had outraged Whisky
drinking ad hbifUm. The Governments
cheated in contracts and openly robbed BY its
employees. Writes our most careful CORE
spondent, long resident of the capitaI:
Washington was never quite so vilainously
corrupt as at the present time Ia the palmy
days Of Southern rule, Of slavery, there was
nOt half the corruption there is now" We
do nst doubt this is strictly true and we re.
peat, It is q sad shocking picture
