has determined to issue arms and ammunition to the
citizens along the Indian frontier for their election
against further depredations OF the savages.
Illegal Congressional Legislation.
Since the meeting Of Congress-, Oh the 2Ist inst,
prominent democrats here have severely commented
ON the statements made in the Senate by Senator
Anthony during the discussion raised by Senator
Buckalew, who offered resolution calling upon the
House TO report to the Senate whether or not ttey
had a quorum present. Mr.. Anthony said at Ia
known that half Of the business of Congress was
transacted without quorum Very important bills
had been passed when a quorum was not present.
He had known indian treaties negotiated when only
three members were present" They claim that this
admission Of Senator Anthony that Congress has
been guilty Of illegal legislation is fully damaging
to the radical party The assertion Of the late Thad
Stevens, that if they were not acting outside the
constitution then they were working to purpose.
StagnatiOn al the Capital-The Internal Revo.
nue. Middle.
Washington has reasped into dulness again.
Public affairs seem to have grown stagnant. The
last Congressman has finished up all the little jObs
he had to attend to for his constituents and has
gone. The ''carpet- baggers" have generally fol-
lowed the example OF the ''grand-trunkers" and
nearly all the Office hunters have bundled up their
rolls OF recommendations and have gone home to
wait for a more convenient season. few Of the
latter genus still remain, onehalf OF whom are
man9uvring for Supervisors OF Internal Revenue
and the other half mining and countermining for
the Commissonership. 1t is probable now that even
these gentlemen will leave as the revenue tangls
does not show any near prospect OF being straight
