Our Moral Senators and Representa-
fiVes

The Republican party processes "noral
IDEAS and aspires to the distinc-
ton of supporting "God and Humanity. "
Recently the Senate refused to allow the
Capitol to be used for the inauguration
ball, some pinks of morality commonly
known as Senators remarking thas such
employment of the public buildings would
be offensive to the moral and religious
sentiment" of their constituents. The
Washington correspondent of the Chicago
Republican thus raps the knuckles Of the
Pharasaical Senator'S
''The religious sniffle which some honor
able senators gave when they cast their
votes, is my only ground of complaint.
But, after all, senators may be sincere
enough in their professions, and in this let
ter propose to call their attention to an
other subject, to another abuse, to which
in Difference to the religious sentiment
OF the country they might attend. Imme-
diately outside the LETT hand entrance to
the senate, looking from the vice president $
desk toward the main doorway of the
chamber, is an elegant apartment. 1t is
handsomely gilded and frescoed elegant
carpets cover the floor; luxurious arm
chairs and lounges are numerous, aud ev-
erythlng Invites to repose and quiet and
abandon. 1t is the reception room Of the
senate. 1t is easy of access from the cham
Der. This room is VIGOROUSLY the greatest
assignation place in W Washington. At any
ume during the session Of the senate, the
visitor NAV see there in hrazan effrootafv
known women of i'll fame They are attired
in the most costly fabrics, diamonds and
lace, and the latest fashions. Senators DO
not hesitate to come from their seats and
the work CT legislation at their bidding.
The officers of the senate know them, or If
they do not, they ought to; but instead OF
being debarred admission, they are allowed
to ply their vocation in the very capitol of
the nation. | do not say that all the la
dies who go there are of this character-but
| do say that in the course Of a single day
more than score Of this class OF people
are to be found in that room.

match.
''On the wedding night Essrsy all the

taken violently sick, with every appearance
of poisoning. n sister of the bride died
from the effects of the poison. Within the
past few days the bridegroom of Ibis occa-

young lady, a Miss Bennett, and in his last
letter to her gives full history of the poi-
soning at the wedding, acknowledging that
he put quantity of arsenic into the pot
from which the coffee was prepared, and
saying that he did it in revenge for the
manner in which the family had treated
him.
This letter was placed In the hands of

Pork AND BUTTER R-Theso two neces,
Saries of every well regulated house hold,
just now sell for an almost enormous price
per pound. While we would not advise
our farmers to go into the business of rais-
ing hogs or milch cows too extensively, yet
we think it would be good idea for them
to somewhat abate their ardor for planting
a whole farm in wheat, and instead raise
live stock-espec;ally as this latter mode
will enrich their farms and their purse at
the same time.
