THE KENTUCKY MEMBERS.

In reference to the Election Commits
tee of the credentials of the Kentucky
representatives, the House acted with
common sense. Mr. Bingham said that
when person offers credentials under
the great seal af State he is entitled to
admission unles specific objection we're
made. Mr.. Boutwell, took substantially
the same ground, and the House ordered
the reference, except in the case of one
representative who had served IN the
National army.
OF Mr. James Brooks's eulogy of the
loyalty of Kentucky it is enough to say,
that if every other State had been loyal
in the same way the rebellion would have
uuquestionably succeeded. And it is for
that reason especially that when any man
presents himself as a representative from
Kentucky, and objection is made upon
the ground of disloyalty, there should be
the most careful inquiry into the facts
There is indeed presumption against
the loyalty of every man who is elected
by great Democratic majority in Ken
tucky; and the presumption is based
upon the fact that Kentucky contributed
about as many of her voting class to the
rebel army as tn ours, and that the rebel
sympathizers and soldiers were of the
Democratic party. Moreover, the gen.
eral character of the candidates chosen
by that party at the last election is noto-
rious, They were not selected for fidelity
to the Union. They were Intentionally
taken from among those who if, not open
rebels were acceptable to those who were
1t was in Kentucky as it is in Tennessee.
The open, known, conspicuous, devoted
friends of the Union, supporters of the
war and Congress during and since the
war, are upon one side; the opponents
of the war, the known rebels and their
supporters, those who deny that slavery
is abolished and who openly honor the
rebel chiefs and scoff at President Lin
coin, are upon the otbe side, aud that
the Democratic. Facts in themselves
unimportant like the last become, taken
with others, of the utmost significance.
Congress would be lacking in the com.
mon sense which every capable man
ST ows in the conduct of his private affairs
if in the present situation of the country
it did not receive every representative
from such constituency with suspicion.
If there were no objection urged from
the State itself it would not be indeed
wise to act upon presumption but if
there were distinct charges they should
be most vigorously examined.-Ha,per's
Weekly.

SALT YOUR CHIMNBYs.-In bull
ding your chimney, put q quantity
of salt in to the mortar with which
the intercourses of brick are to be
laid, the effect will be that there never
will be any accumulation of SCOT in

stated: The salt in the portion of
mortar which is exposed, absorbs
moisture every damp day. The SCOT

WnIrEwAsntsG FRurr AND 0RNAMENrAl,
TREss.-An old farmer, in the Germaatotpn
telegraph, says; 'fhe practice Of coating
the bark of fruit and ornamental trees with
white wash, is one taht cannot be too freely
deprecated The obstruction of the perspi-
rut1ry organs aud orifices, whether effected
by the application of whitewash or any
other adhesive material. always acts as a
fruitful source Of disease, and in time
proves fatal ta the tree. When the bark
becomes rough, or incrusted with moss. it
should be cleaned by scraping and washing
down thoroughly with solution Of soft
SOAP or soda water aff5rding smothness to
the surface witout obstruction to the pores.

THE BRIDAL.


Not laugh was heard, nor joyous note
Al our friend to the bridal we hurried;
Not a wit discharged his farewell shot,
As the bachelor went to be married
We married him quickly to save his fright,
Our heads from the sad sight turning;
And we sighed as stood by the lamps dim ight
To think that he was not more discerning.
To think that bachelor free and bright,
And shy vf the sex as we found him,
HhouId there at the altar. at dead Of night,
Be caught in the snare that bopnd him.
Few and short were the words we said,
Though Of wine and cake partaking.
We escorted him home from the scene Of dread,
While his knees were awfu'ly shaking
slowIy and sadly We marched him down
From the first to the owermost story;
And we never have heard or seen the poor man
Whom we left alone in his glory

AN IMMENsE GRAR.

The Chicago Tribune, a Radical paper
4calls attention to the most gigantic grab
4 Of modern times Tho stock of goods
4 on hand in the possession of dealers and
manufacturers Of all kinds, which will be
enhanced in price by the enactment OF
/. he Tariff bill before Congress, cannot be
less than 5000, 100000. This is very
moderate estimate, perhaps too low by
$500, 100000. Those stocks include all
If the imported goods which have paid
luty, as well as all of the fabrics and
wares of domestic production, in every
State and Territory Of the Union, from
Maine to California, and Michigan to-
Texas.
The present selling value of those
goods is, say 5000, 1000. After the
proposed tariff bill is enacted, at least
thirty per cent. will be added to their
selling cost; for the wholesalers and rel
callers will each add their per cent. of
profit to the increase of the tariff, and
charge it on their goods. A piece OIL
cloth selling at Sc at present will have
added to it by the tariff, say 20 perl
cent, or 81 20, and the middlemen will
add Coo more--making the piece of cloth
cost the purchaser, after the bill passes,l
not less than 81 so. The 100000, 000l
of goods in the possession of makers and|
dealers will have added to their selling|
price 30 per cent or $3.50, O00,OOOl Thel
thirty millions of consumers will bel
obliged to pay this extra $4,000, O00l
and receive in return therefor not oneI
cent of consideration. 1t will be clean

MISSISSIPPI RAILROADS.

We have failed heretofore to notice
the fact that bill has passed the Legis-
lature of Mississippi for the relief of the
railroads of that State. Each road, the
Clarion informs us, is authorized to issue
change notes with which to liquidate
their present Indebtedness and repair
their several roads. In absorbing the
present Indebtedness, the old change
notes included, a sealing principle will
be estabiished-thust taking up or paying
out at what Confederate money was
worth at the date of the contract The
tax on passengers was suspended with
marked unanimity, thus showing a deci-
ded change in public sentiment towards
these great thoroughfareS of trade and
travel, which should always command
tho fo.taring care of the Legislature.

SINGULAR POLICY.

The Chicago Tribune, Radical pa
|per, announces that just as soen as the
Reconstruction question is settled, the
Northwest will vote solid for the aboli'
ton Of extortionate and oppressive du'
ties and taxes, not levied to support the
Government, but to plumber the masses
for the benefit of special classes.
This is singular policy. The West adj
mits that New England is extortioning
upon her, and intends, when the South
shall have been bound hand and foot, to
turn upon the cold East and demand
Justice.
