Shoddy has become proverbial and no.
torous for the most reckless squandering
OF the peoples money. ia every instance
in which the taxpayer could be feocod for
the benefit Of a "Loyalist," The occasion
was improved. New laws, new Offices,
new schemes for pluador seem TO occupy
the spare moments Of "Loyal Lobbyists"
and certainly it must be confessed that in
the peculiar calling mentioned, and in the
turning Of it to account in "loyal" way
"vitol piety' "shOddy" is grand success
In the view ofour present legislators, man is
an animal who pays taxes and it is their
business to create new methods to suqan.

Thus Sl3,ol3 90 have been appro,

NIGGER VOTING.

Our amiable and heavy friend Capt. \
Whitmoyer, who made himselffamous be-
fore the late election in opposing negro
suffrage, is in distress of mind, at the vote
In Congress, giving to all the "Darks" in .
the District of Columbia the ballot. 1t
was thought by few of those who were
trying to play conservative about hero,that
if Congress would only make an A. B. G.
qualification, that they could go in for the
ballot to the black. But congress did not
give them this poor handle to hold on by
They made clean sweep--"cut EN-
smoove, smack off," and give the vote
without qualification or condition,
We give the vote below. 1t will be
seen that MERCUR'S name stands ip
favor of the bill, Do the people of this
District endorse that vote Are they in
favor Of forcing negro Suffrage on the
people Of the District, against their most
distinctly expressed wish 2 Is the MAORI
ty to rule : Or are rs votes in favor of
negro suffrage to outweigh in the Rump
Congress 1000 against it
We give below the names Of tho Penn
sylvana Congressman in lists as they vo-
ted upon the bill 10 enforce negro suffrage
in the District of Columbia, so that our
cOtemporaries may give "honor to whom
honor is due" and hold up TO popular cx-
ecration those recroant men who voted to
prostitute the ballot.boz to the negro lev

Yesterday 100 bales changed hands in several lots,

have been reported, which were participated in by
seven brokers. All parties interested are now
anxiously awaiting later adviees from Europe, and
the principal factors are especially reluctant in
exhibiting their samples, as they confidently an

CHAMPAGSE.-The ever-hilarious and welcome
countenance of mine host of the Jackson House
and & The Office" Frank Quirk, beamed in upon
our sanctum last evening, and in his rear laboring
with the ponderous weight of a massive wassaiE
bowl of chased and solid silver, came his portly
coIored Ganymede, George, long known in the
fabulous times ante 5eilum to those who quafFed
the flowing glass. George bore, besides the
mighty basin, sundry bottles Of Krug, and con-
siderable quantity of broken ice. Colonel Quirk
blandly informed us the occasion was in honor of
the lucky escape of " The Offce,'' on Monday
afternoon, from destruction by fire.
The whole CRESCENT phalanx then ranged around
in solid order, and many s.. sincere and hearty
toast was drank to the health and long life Of
generous Frank, and the success Of his favorite
establishments.
