SCoFIELD SpEAKs.-Our usually ret
icent Representative in the Rump, Mr..
Glenni W. Scofcld, has made speech
We commenced to read it-read the
first half Of it, then summed it up, and
found the product to be wool. We then
turned to the concluding paragraphs
and found that Glenni still clung to his
subject-the inevitable darkey.
Then Gleuni has done something
else Sharp-sighted, shrowd and i'm,
maculate pay-triot 4 nation eEes
thee praise for thy vigilant watchfuiness
over her interests
On the 20th ulti.no our sagacious
Representative like " "hound on the
tigers track" offered resolution OF in
quiry to find out whether one of the SUI
preme Judges had not said-at a supper
table-that he thought the reconstruc.
ton act would be decided unconstitu-
tional We will, however, leave Glenni
to his friends in regard to this matter,
and give the following extract from the
Ncr York Times-H. j. Raymond's S
paper--a Radical sheet
Congress had another severe attack of
panic yesterday. Some newspaper report
ed that one of the Judges of the Supreme
Court had said he believed the Supreme
Court would decide the reconstruction law
unconstitutional whereupOn Mr.. Scofeld,
of Pennsyvania-(ofall men in the House.)
was seized with a sudden rush of patriotism
to the hcad-alarmed the House by his
cries for assistance-threatcned the offend
ing Justice with impeachment and other
fashionable tortures, and was finally some
what soothed by the passage of n resolution
of inquiry. The House passed it by vote
nf = ,l,a4l a I
desire to ease Mr.. Scofeld's mind or because
they suffered from the same attack and
shared his pains, we are left TO conjecture.
We hope they all feel better now"
BY a Washington telegram in a late
Erie Eipaich, it now turns out that not
only one, but three, of the Supreme
Court Judges, among whom is Chief
Justice Salmon P. Chase, have express
ed the same opinion. So that our val
iaut Rumpist has veritably stirred up n
"mare's " nest in his own ranks.
Now, Mr.. Scofeld, if you really wish
to do some good for the country, and
more especially for part of your imme-
diate constituency, we would advise you
TO offer resolution OF inquiry to find
out why the business affairs of the
whole country remain in such an unset
tied state Why, that here in our own
little county Of Elk, where last year
there were exported sixty million feet Of
lumber to the eastern and western mar
kets, there will not be more than one
sfrth OF that amount exported during
the present year ?
These are infinitely graver questions
than whether sone of the branches Of
government disagree with you on an
abstract question.
Come, Mr.. Sco6eld, spare few days
from your attention to Sambo, and de
vote them to the benefit of your people
REPUDIATIoN.-Morrow B. Lowry

Stevens, thegreat | Am" of the Rad
zeal party, favors the some measure.
