accepted the invitation gladly, of course

GONE TO CUBA.-W. s. Spencely,
well known to many of the ex-confed-
crate Signal men of Norfolk, as Ser
geant Of the I'd Co., I. S. c., has gone
to Cuba on the staff Of Gen. Jordan,
and as Chief Signal Officer of the Cuban
revolutionary forces. Sergt. Spencely
was originally from the North, but
joined the Confederate Army in Louisi-
ana, his adopted State. He was brave
soldier and an estimable man. Briga-
der Gen. Jordan was also Confeder-
ate, and, at one time, Chief of Beaure-
CARDS staff. Both are good men, and
true, and will doubtless, win additional
honors in their new field of military
operations, Success to them, and the
enterprise.

DEmocRAT1C TESTIMONY.


TIE Columbus Correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Chronicle gives the following
sketch of a speech delivered in the Ohio
House by DR.. Mohtt, member from
Knox, a few days prior to adjournment:
A select committee appointed to in
vestigate and report the best means for
correcting the shocking condition ofthe
Hall as to ventilation, had procured es-
Inmates and reported a joint resolution
to provide for making such essential
changes as should fit the the place for
healthful occupancy. DR.. Mof1tti took
the floor, and all parties were qui UjUe
to hear his first effort. He began by
striking out right and left at his col
leagues for the i~ndefensible extrava-
gance which had characterized their
labors here. ASH noticed the official
reporter of b House extremely busy
doing nothing at all at this time, I con-
clude this speech will not appear in all
its pristine freshness in the authorized
publication of the debates. Still its
delivery was quite the sensation of to-
days session.
Said he, 81 have sat here and watch.
ed proceedings, and the people is lost
sight of. Your resolutions spending
the peoples hard earningsis a violation
of your solemn pledges made on the.
stump last year when we wanted their
votes" Here a member interrupted to
inquire
"I'd like to ask the gentleman II
questiOn-if this is not the best and
most economical Legislature that has
met for many years in this CapitoI?''
81 could not say for many years. for
I haven't been here; but if this is an
economical Legislature, God help the
people.H
Abiding to his profession as a physi-
clan, and intending to be funny, his
i-nterlocutOr here inquired
ID isn't the gentleman opposed to this
resolution to promote the interests of
his own profession ?"
81 am not in practice now. I aUn OPP
posed to this resolution because I think
If you frOWId add q little more poison to
this T00H1eVO1E aCOaId dFjUe lem ont, and

honesty had so far got ahead of his
political discretion that he concluded by
sending the following shot into the
camp of his political associates. He
