Other items, such as paper weights
corkscrcws, cords, erasers, leather busters
channels skins, folders, pen wipers, blank
books, inkstands, eyelet machines, PAM
phlet cases, copy books, paper files, pen
racks, stationery cases, gold pens, dies, key
rings, match cases, fluid, silk taste, card
cases, memorandum books, combs, cologne
soap, pomade, toilet powder, lemons, are
scattered through. the book, in quantities
sufficient to supply all their friends or sci
up variety stores in the country. In the
! House the rule allows each member sc
much for stationery, to be paid in station
cry or money, as he chooses, but stationery
p is furnished in addition for all committees
and the practice is for members to supply
themselves from that furnished to
committees and then take the allow
{ ance. This is a fair specimen of the
manner in which the people are
robbed by a Radical Congress. Every
e Congressman who has twelve chill
dren of course wants twelve penknives,
and pens and pencils in like proportion
The items enumerated would excite a live
ly sense of the ludicrous did they not pro-
woke feeling of disgust and Indignation
Its such cheating as the above that brings
our national legislators into contempt
Members have been expelled for selling
their votes and for lobbying measures
through Congress. Yet the very men who
voted thus 90 purge the Congress of those
whose memory disgrace it and with it the
country, are engaged in petit larceny

The Intended Outrage ON Cali
Erir47s vr- fOrnia. l.,.,.
p The Democracy will have majority OF
eighteen or twenty on joint ballot in the
California Legislature.
- Scarce had the telegraph flashed the news
of the Democratic triumph, when the same
Suffrage Governor of that State intended
to call the Legislature together in extraor-
dinary session to adopt the amendment to
the Federal Constitution, although the peo-
pie had just decided against it.
The givings out of the Negro Suffrage
press show that there is another object in
this meeting of the defunet Legislature
There is to be elected by the next Califor-
mia Legislature United States Senator in
place of CoNNEss, whose term of Office has
not yet expired, and whose successor is to
be chosen by the Legislature elected this
fall. This election will take place, or the at
tempt will be made to elect by the Negro
Suffrage Legislature which the Republican
Governor will call together in extraerdi-
nary session.. rr ssg .FEagsG.-s.p "a a. e
The outrage is just the same as il there
should, be a Democratic Legislature in
Ohio next winter, and. between the election
and the meeting of the Legislature, Gov.
Cox should call the members of the last
Legislature together to elect Mr.. WADE, or
elect himself to the Senate; or if there
should be Radical majority elected in the
Legislature, who, Gov. Cox thought,
i, might be inimical to his own prospects or
those of his candidate for Senator, and that
the members of the last Legislature would,
,ifcalled together in extraordinary session,
elect his candidate, for him to issue the
call, and thus defeat the people of tn eir
choice as expressed in the election of MEM
bers, and the members elect Of their right
to elect Senator.
