Miss Minnie Ream's Statue of Lin
Qolp

Mrs. Jane G. Swi, shelm, in q letter
to the st. Cloud Democrat, tells how
Miss Minnie Rerm worked upon the
susceptibilities of Congressman in or
der to get an appropriation of $4,000
Her disparagement of Clark Mills,
the sculptor, is entirely gratuitous:
Congress has adjourned, after do.
inf considerable amount Of hasty
legislation the last days Of the session.
The order to Miss Minnie Ream for
statue of President Lincoln for so,
COO was of this class. She is young
girl about twenty, a Washingtonian,
believed to have been in sympathy
with secession through out the war,
has only been studying her aat few
months, never, made statue, has
some cluding her own, minus clothing
to the waist, has a pretty face with
turn-up nose, bright black eyes, long
dark curls and plenty of them, wears
a jocky ha and good deal Of jewel
ry, sees all the members at their lodg-
ings or the reception room in the Cap
itol, urges eer clrims fluently cent?
dently, sits in the galleries, in con-
spiuous position, and her most be-
witching dress, while those claims are
on the floor, and mods and
smiles as member rises and delivers
his opinion on the merit Of the case,
with the air Of a man sitting for his
picture, and SO she carries the day
over Powers, Crawford, Hamer, and
who not ?

REPUBLICAN LEGISLATION.

So earnestly had the Republican
Radicals in Congress been engaged
during eight months in legislation for
tho negro, that they had only q very
few hours on tho last afternoon of the
session to look after the interests Of
white men. Consequently it is now
found that in addition to plumbers in
relation to bounty for soldiers, tho
sailors derive no benefit from the bill
although it is understood that they
were also to receive bounty.
The Republican profess great lovo
for the Fenians, but their reiolutions
Gin the language Of the Fenian State
Resolutions) resolved into bills that
hung fire in the Senate, exactly ac-
cording to the plan agreed upon by
Banks, Stevens, Colfax and tho Ro-
publican leaders.
Republican Radical legislation for
the negro, the bond holder, the man
ufacturer, never fails except when
stopped by veto. But there is so lit
tie time left for legislation for soldiers
and sailors and other common white
people, that it is not singular that the
hni- rfvft 5,t,r,4--,,A A:>-- g. 49,
1t is expected that the next Con-
gress Will Have moro time to look after
the general interests.

Anno1ntmcnt Of Collector.

Col. VIM. b. McCREERY of thus city
has been appointed Collector of Inter
nal Revenue Of this district, in place
of Samuel n. Warren, removed. This
appointment is good one. Col.
McCreery went forth to fight the re-
bellion, and many hard fought bat
tie attests his horoism and devotion
to his country. At this time he fills
the Office of Mayor Of this city, to
which position lie has been second
time elected.
Because of the ColonePs acceptance
of this position, the Radical Republi-
cans have already commenced 20 viii
fy and SANDER him. This was to
have been expected. The Col. attend
ed the Philadelphia Convention as a
delegate from this district, and heart
ily endorses tho reconstruction policy
Of President Johnson. Placing coun-
try before party, ho bids those who
support disunion Congress good bye,
and he will do all in his power to aid
the administration in its efforts to
reconstruct and perpetuate the Union.

AYmsTuEsIA.--Worthy of note is q
letter which has recently appeared in
the Times, signed "AnGsthesia." ."'call-
ing attention to the system of insens-
ibility to pain, by mixed vapors Of
ether, alcohol and chloroform, submit
ted to professional adoption in the
Lancet of tie 10th OF February. 1t
is notorious that chloroform depresses
the heat, and that ether greatly in
creasos the power; so that while both
destroy pain, both agents in different
ways occasionally kill the patient. 1t
has been found almost impossible to
kill an animal by these three mixed
vapors, and the inconvenience of use
caused by evaporation at difierant
rates is completely got over by seperate
doses

Including the sc States constitu-
tionally in the Union and entitled to
representation in Congress, the Senate
should number y members. and the
House 243 members. OF this num-
Der the radicals exclude-now that
Tennessee is admitted-20 Senators
and so Representatives, leaving nomi-
nally in attendance If no vacancies
exist-52 Senators and 1913 Represen-
tatives. Congress holds that bare
majority of the last given number
constitutes a quorum for the legiti-
mate transaction of business, and of
course bare majority Of this quorum
present voting for bill secures its
passage. Take as a case in point. -
The civil appropriation bill to which
was attached the rider" increasing
the salaries of Congressman and the
bill mol equalizing the bounties. Ou
the passage of the bill in the House
but l0l members were present. and
voted--if more were present they
lodged, as but 81 voted for the bill,
and so against it. The bill was
passed though but fraction over one
ffth of faH House voted for it, or
small fraction over one-fourth Of the
Rump" House.
We submit that while the Constitu-
ton tinkers arc at their work, one
amendment is absolutely necessary ;
and we hope to see q proposition made
ut the next session to incorporate into
section fifth of article first of the Consti-
tuition, clause something like the fol-
lowing: "No bill or joint resolution
shall become q law without the con-
currence of o majority of all the mem
bers elected to each House, and on
the final assage of all bills the vote
shall 10 by yeas and nays, and enter
ed Oh the Journal" Now that men :
bcrs plunge their arms into the treas
ury to the tune of 1000 year, they
can afford to attend upon the sessions
of Congress, and, whether high or
low salary is paid, it is dangerous to
the interests of the country to longer
permit bills to become laws which
have received the sanction of but one
fourth Of the members elect.

CONCENTRATING. .-Pithy advice, when
rendered to large bodies of men, is
always more eflcctual than that which
is elaborated through all tho inflec-
tons of rhetoric. Brief orders arc
always acceptable, and they never pass
from the memory. The greatest gen.
erals of the world have appreciated
this fact and preserved themselves
Inefliciency is generally characterized
by volubility. We should expect O
more lasting impression for some such
concentrated advice as "Whet your
swords and keep your powder dry'
than the most ornate pcriphasis.
