The House and Adiourumer,

The temper of the House is openly
and strongly against extending the ses-
sion beyond Saturday. Many members
say they have fully met the Presidents
wishes in short aud plain bill, that
may be disposed of in two hours, and
now if the Senate chooses to kill it by
useless and Improbable talk, the
country and the President must hold
that body responsible for the defeat of
the measure. The feeling in the
lower branch is so decided and members
are so out of patience with the DISPOSE
tion of the upper branch to talk every
thing to death, that it is doubtful if one
quarter of the Representatives could be
carried for an extension of the session.
The President has said again this even
ing to several persons that he has no
wish to keep Congress here, and hopes
that they may act as he indicated and
adjourn at the time fixed.

II is now known that the facts, upon
the strength of which General BUTLER
boastea of his ability 20 crush SCHENCX,
his associate leader in the House of
Representatives. were obtained by him
whea, to procure evidence against Pres
ident JOHNSON in the Impeachment
trial, he usurped the burglarious pre-
rogative of robbing the postoffice OF its
letters and the telegraph office of its
dispatches. By those robberies he So
cured proof of SCHENCK's guilty con-
nectiou with the whisky rings, and he
has been keeping them ever since fol
use at u suitable time. His means OF
procuring them were such, of course
as only the most unmitigated of vii
lains and scOundrels would practice,
but his villsiny and scoundrelism do
not mitigate or qualify in the slightest
degree the guilt of SCHENCE. The guilt
OF the latter is entirely independent of
the means by which it was discovered.

THE Spanish troops in Cuba are daily
violating all the rules of civilized war
fare. Men are shot down in the streets
and at,the doors oftheir own houses, wO-
men arrested, insulted and thrown into
prison, and even children subjected to
the rude and vulgar conduct of the
licentiOus soldiery. There is no law or
redress for Cuban. To be born on the
island is an IneXcuSsble crime in the es-
t!mstion of the Spaniards, and they ex-
hlbit their feeling in the most barbsrous
manner. Recently an old gentleman
named Don JUAN DE DOS CASTELLINOs
living near Cienfuegos, was murdered
oy the Spanish volunteers. Two of the
sons Of this gentleman had Joined the
PSlElots. This was q damning Of
renee and the gallant volunteers, TO the
number OF one hundred or more, went
10 nlS residence and butchered him. in
inc presence sf his daughters. Not con-
tent with this, they prohibited any one
from visiting the house or ASSISTING in
performing the last offices to the dead
ana IL was not until five days after the
murder and when the body was already
in an advanced stage of putrefaction
that the broken-hearted daughters sro.
ceeded in digging grave and intsrripc
the body, all of which they had to DO
alone and unassisted. This is the man.
ner in which the authorities are con.
ducting the contest in Cuba. And the
result is general rising, and confirmed
successes for the patriots.

One of the best hits at fashionable
aims giving we have seen is recorded in
the Press. 1t seems that one of the
charitable associations in the city of
BrOtherly Love boasts among its men,
bers a lady who moves in the first cir
cles Of society and rolls in wealth. A
few days ago she called upon the treas
urer of her pet society for the purpose
of paying in Der annual contribution.
She was graciously received, aud handed
IN her five dollar bill, desiring twelve
cents change. The treasurer Informed
her that five dollars was the amount of
contribution, when the contributor said
she was perfectly aware of that, but a
few days before she had given a beggar
girl some cold potatoes aud tho1gbt
they were worth twelve cents. and
should be deducted, as it was properIy
the duty of the society to care for the
poor girl. In all probability the fash.
ionsble dispenser of charity required All
her odd change TO pay for trawberries
at FIVE dellars saucer.

DELEGATIONS of workingmen and va
rIous Trades Unions have gathered at
Washington to induce Congress to pro-
hibit the Navy Department from reduc-
ing the wages of the navy yard en-
ployes on account of their working but
eight hours a day. We have no partic-
ular feeling upon the subject, but We
really do not see why lsberers in the
service of the Government should claim
and be expected to receive higher com
Pensatiou per hour than laborers in 9TH
er kinds Of service throughout the coun.
try. There are certainly no labOrers in
the West that work habitually less than
ten hours per day, aud why should the
people, from whom all the public money
comes, pay more for employees in the
public service than for those in their
own private servicei Must there be no

Tomato RlRnIa.

DR., Hull, the noted horticulturalist of
Alton, Illinois, gives this as his mode of
growing nice tomato plants:
As soon as my plants are two or three
inches high, l run knife under and
cut off the tap roofs, which is as good as
once transplanting. In few days l
transplant, and in few days from
transplanting l root-prune. When they
begin to crowd, wonld again run knife
under. When ready transplant once
more, and continue to root-prune. The
object of root-pruning is to make the
plant form a compact mass of fibrous
roots in a small compass, so they will re.
ceive but little shock in planting out.
A few days before l remove them to
the open field lift them with trowel,
or something of the kind, and let them
fall back. / remove the sash two or
three weeks before am ready to plant
in open ground, for the purpose of hard
ening the plants. l keep the tops
pinched back in the hot bed to about
ten inches. In planting in the field, l
always tie them to stakes. | think it
saves half the labor of cultivating;
keeps the fruit from the dirt; you avoid
sun scald, and do not have to handle
your vines; vines are injured very much
by handling. -

The Pays, French journal, published
in Paris, makes these remarks upon the
course of our Congress in regard to Gu
ba and Spain:
Within few weeks, Congress, by one
resolution, has expressed the sympathy
of the American people with the Span
ish revolution, and by another resolE-
tion has expressed sympathy with the
Cuban revolution against Spain. BY
the terms of these resolutions, the Uni
ted States sympathize with Spain IN
her establishment of u Provisional gov
erument in place of her old govern
ment, and sympathize also with the peo-i
pie of Cuba revolving against the Pro-
visiOnal government.

Frank Blair-A Rude Little Radical
Throws Mud at Him.

From the Chicago Post.
Frank Blair has sought and found a
more congenisl cline. He has thrown
himself into the arms of the people of
the South, and the arms of the people of
the South have opened to receive him.
There is a place, let it be understood,
where even the Blair family find cor
dial welcome, and that place the yearn-
ing Frank, after long and weary wander
ings, has found. Whether the rest of
the unoccupied family of the Blairs will
join the happy Frank in his newly dis.
covered heaven, we have not heard, but
we fervently trust they may. The fam
lily are never happy when not appreci-
ated, and they have happy faculty of
rendering everybody about them as un-
happy as they are themselves. Down
South, however, where Everything is
lovely and the goose hangs high
where chivalry is abundant, honor a
drug, high moral character a superla-
tive quantity, and temperance univer-
sal virtue-there, we say, the family of
The Blairs will flourish and grow strong.
The senior Frank will doubtless be-
come bishop, Montgomery friar (of
abolitionists), and Frank junior cry
ing temperance apostle of the first de-
gree. We are indeed made happy in
the assurance that there is no longer
virtue enough in the North to make it
an endurable home for the Blairs.

THE New York Herald is not satisfied
with the recent report of the committee
on Retrenchment. 1t very properly
says:
"There is in the report a mass of YER
biage about about the duties of the sew
eral bureaus and officers, all of which
we know before, and about the magni-
tude of the treasury transactions since
the war, which also we knew, and then
there are some suggestions about reform
ing or improving the service, which are
oil very well;but nothing was discovered
of any consequence. For instance, we
should like to know where the follow
ing missing bonds and nstes went to:

Religions Revival.

Editors Of the Register;
1 beg leave to report to my frleaRs
through the columns of your paper Sne
result of a protracted meeting Jqst
closed in the county town of Pleas9efi
county (st. Marys). IL
Last August our Annual coAferenfe
appointed me to this circuit (St. MakFE
Circuit), Methodist Protestant Chu1 P,
West Virginia district. On my w
and when 1 got to the circuit, l q I
report after report in dishoBor to tf
reputation of that good moral stsndia
that should characterize our whof
country. My first visit to st. Marfe
was not very encouraging, but
worked away on my circuit q
faithful as 1 could, having goos
meetings at every appointment
scores flocking to Christ, and when
nv appointment would come to So,
Marys, l started to that place with 2
heavy heart, notwithstanding l all
WAYS had large and attentive congrega.
tions, really more so than anywhere
elss. At length we gave out protract-
ed meeting to commence at st. Marys
on the night of the 18th ultimo. l was
at my post at the appointsd hour, but
instead of commencing the meetiBg on
that night, l gave way to Mr.. Gregg, OF
Wheeling, who was there for the pnr-
pose oforganizing lodge of Good Tenn
plars. So did not commence the meet
ing until the next evening, and when
rose up TO introduce the meeting, l
felt that my heart would weigh thou
sand pounds. But l proceeded in the
name of my Master, and 1 bless His holy
name that can say for the people OF
st. Marys and her surrounding
community that l have never
in all the history OF my
life met with a more hospitable, kind
and sociable people. During our meet
ing seventy-one came forward to the
altar, of which seventy were converted;
fifty eight joined in church fellowship
with us, between thirty and forty OF
them are young men and women. A
more genteel, intelligent and kind set
of young people cannot be found in the
State or anywhere else. May God bless
and save them from the troubles and
temptations incident to this life and at
last save the entire class as in number)
in Heaven. The lsbors of Brothers W.
NJ. Belts and w. Virden in the meeting
were highly appreciated. st Marys is
the place appointed for the meeting of
our next annual Conference. 1t is all
right. Two hundred and sixty-one have

winter on this circuit.

GENERAL BUTLER has joined Senator
WILSON'S "Rock Of Ages party, 80 far

Serned. The distribution Of the West
srn plunder is creating a serious split
in the Radical party. The Senate de
mands the fattest part. To this BUTLER

agree. The President favors the House,
