EDITORS CLEVELAND LEADER In your
issue of this morning appears protest OF
lO3 members Of the Chicago Arbeiter Yer

though I am not inclined to enter into any
controversy with newspapers, deem it
my duty to correct wrong statements. The

new to me, and therefore doubted. Bat

With sl due respect to the mental scu-
men Of Mr.. Hssse, we beg leave to say
that the 1O3 members Of the Association
who signed the protest in yesterdays

Of the Association. There is not word
implying that they could make 30 stupid
blunder ss to say that 1OS are ma

the following facts: At meeting Of an

Yesterday at noon in Woods Theatre,

Four years since, . similar Convention

that it excited unussl interest in Psrlis-

Mr.. Gladstone is spoken Of by the ibe-

On motion Of Mr.. Davis, Of Maryland,
the committee on the District Of Columbis
was in nstructed to inquire into the condi
ton Of the Washington National Monu-
ment Society, the amounts collected and
sums expended, and its affairs generally.
The House resumed the consideration Of
the following resolution, heretofore sub
mitted by Mr.. Rollins, Of Missouri, con-
cludiDg ss follows:
HThis war is not Wsged on our part in
any spirit Of oppression, nor for any pur-
pose Of conquest or subjugation, nor for
the purpose Of oVerthrowing or interfering
with the rights and established institutions
Of those States, but to defend and main
tain the supremacy Of the constitution,
and to preserve the Union with all the
dignity, equality, and rights Of the several
States unimpsired" That as soon as these
objects are accomplished, the war must
cease.
Mr.. Rollins, Of Missouri, said his reso-
luton embraced the main features Of the
one offered by Mr.. Crittenden, and adopt
ed with only two dissenting voices ct the
commencement Of the 37th Congress. He
believed that the principle one was right
at thst.time, and was right now.
Mr.. Fernando Wood unsucoessfully
sought to amend the resolution, the oppor-
tunity for that purpose having been ex-
excluded by the previous question. He
moved that the resolution be laid upon the
| table.
This motion was disagreed to by vote

Mr.. Morrill,, Of Vermont, moved to refer
the resolution to the Committee on the

The last California legislature had an unsa- vory odor in the nostrils of at least one San Francisco editor, wfo announces its adjourn ment in the blunt way:
 "This delectabls gang, chiefly composed of fools, has dispersed at last. They have been well paid for doing nothing during the greater part of the session and mischief during the re- rnaining portion. Hraise Him from whom all blessings few'-they have adjourned for good. For two years California will be free from a plague as dire as that of the lice in Egypt-a legislature in session."
 Queen Victoria is losing her popn larity and the confidence of the British people. It is in- timated that her conduct indicates more than mere eccentricity of mind. Her interference with the administration of affairs is thus spo- ken of by the Glasgow Examiner " The feel ing grows, the word is freely passed, that in the privacy of the palace ministerial action is directed and controlled in an unconstitutional manner. and that the united will of great na- ton is threatened with subjection to individu- al irresponsible authority"
