On Tuesday last, Mr.. HUGHES, with
no apparent reason, and certainly
without justification, resurrected in
the State Senate the BAKER-CUM-
BACK correspondence. His motion
to reconsider the vote by which reso-
buttons of censure against the Lieu
tenant Governor were passed, took the
friends of the latter by surprise. They
seem to have been under the impress
sion that the whole matter had been
disposed of, so far as the present Legis-
lature is concerned, and were desi-
rous of devoting their time to such
legislation as appeared to be demanded
by the people. Mr.. HUGHES alleged
as a reason for calling up this I'M
pleasant matter a second time that he
was anxious to have it settled perma-
nently. He moved a reconsideration
for the purpose of having that motion
laid on the table. This is the legis-
lative clinching process, and prevents
any further action on a subject thus
disposed of during the session it was
under consideration. On this motion
MI. LEE, aa old and well-meaning
Democrat, spoke as follows. We copy
his remarks from the State Sentinel:
Mr.. Lee-In the six years, sir, that
/ have been In n branch or the
other of this Legislature, that is the
only vote 1.-THE vote of censure l
regret. l have been anxious to get a
chance to reconsider that vote. 1t
would take me a long time to explain
that vote to my constituents to my
satisfaction, and l regret much that |
gave it-more than any other vote /
ever gaVe-and nothing but a polit-
ieal caucus made me do it on that
occasion. Applause from the Re-
publican benches.1 The first resolu-
ton / was opposed to, and was more
opposed to the second, because If
there was anything corrupt connected
with either of them, / think they
were both guilty, and l don't con-
slider either of them much guilty in
these times of political juggling. Am
/ out of order2 [Laughter.1
The President, pro tenn, (Mr. Ora
vens in the C~hair)-You are entirely
out of order.
Mr.. Lee-Well, then, / will take
my seat. [Renewed laughter
The motion to lay on the table was
defeated by a vote of II to %. This
vote opened Mr.. HUGHEs's eyes, and
he suddenly discovered that he was
not so anxious to have the matter dis
posed of at once. He Immediately
began to work for a further postpone
ment of the subject, which was finally
agreed to.
The speech of Mr.. LEE shows the
character of the persecution which
has followed Mr.. CUMBAcK from the
very beginning of the session, and
the kind of mean employed to have
him eensured.

FIIIibustering.

The Democratic members Of the
House of Representatives have
~resorted to their old tactics to defeat
legislation. Mr.. JOHN r. CoFFRoTH,
of Huntington County, is the leader
in this movement. On Thursday two
distinct efforts were made to prevent
the passage of bills by frivolous mo
tons. The bill fixing all State,
county, and township elections upon
the same day, commends itself to
every intelligent and honest citizen as
eminently wise and desirable. By it
the saving to the people cannot be
less than $250,OOO annually, or about
$1,000 to a county. The Republican
members of the House desired to
save that amount of money if posi-
BILE. and cordially supported the bill
making the change. But the Demo.
Gratis did their best to defeat its mass
age, even resorting to dishonor-
able tactics to do so. 1t is grat;fv;no
to know that their ability was moi
equal to their intentions, and the bill
passed the House in spite of their
efforts to prevent it.
The people have their eye upon the
Legislature, and are fully cognizant
of these disreputable tricks to defeat
desirable legislation. The saving
effected by holding all election:
together will be quite as great as could
be made by a large reduction of faxes,
and taxpayers will do well to mark
the action Of the Democracy in at

The Sugar Trade.

The sugar market continues firm,
and the late rise in prices is fully
maintained, the trade generally hold
ing to the opinion that whatever may
be the result In the present struggle
in Cuba, it is likely to continue long
enough to materially interfere vito
the operations of labor throughout
the Island; but intelligent persons,
who have long resided in that eoun-
try, think that the Government will
overcome the insurgents, and that
after the meeting of the Cortes in
Spain, such favorable propositions
will be made to the Cubans as will
secure quiet. In the meantime holders
of sugar are reaping a harvest. A
sale Of a recent importation of raw
sugar was made in Boston, which re-
allied a profit of upwards Of $4,000
to the owner.

The First EngIish Poet.

At a festival in Scotland. a gentle
man responding to the sentiment,
The poets of England" said that
the earliest English poet that they
could go back to was CBdmon, though
it was supposed that there were some
few before him but there we're doubts
entertained as to that. C8dmon was
a cow-herd, and was so ignorant that
he was despised by his fellows. It
was the custom in those days to meet
around the social or domestic board,
and while away the time by singing,
or telling romantic stories and playing
the harp, which on these occasions
was passed from one to the other.
Cedmou SO much dreaded the harp
being handed to him that he often
tried to get out of the way, and left
the company and hid himself. On
one of these occasions he left the hall
and went put to the fields, where he
fell asleep beside the cows. While
sleeping. a vision appeared to him
aud asked him to sing a song. C8d-
mons aid he could not. The stranger
asks him to try, and CadmOn then
asked what he should sing. The
stranger replied: "Sing The Crea-
t%ion,'" and there and then C@dmon
sang it, and when he awoke he still
sang it. He repeated the song to his
friends, who were quite surprised;
and the lady abbess of the adjacent
abby also heard him. They all de-
clared he had received that gift direct
from heaven. From that day Ced-
mon sung his rude and homely songs.
Tue task allotted him by the lady
abbess was to sing Bible history,
which he did, and he left many pieces
connected with this subject, some of
which were yet extant.

POLITICAL. "A Washington dis
patch states that the House Commit
tee on the Census propose to increase
the number of the members of the
House to 300. This is in order to
keep up the representation of New
England and New York, for it is es-
timated that if no increase is made,
New York will lose five members,
Massachusetts, two, Maine, Vermont,
New Hampshire and Rhode Island
one each, and the Western States will
nearly all gain.-Boston Journal.
The House Committee propose to
do a very foolish thing. The large
increase in the House of Representa-
tives would largely increase the ex-
pense of legislation, and only render
the House more unwieldly and inefi-
cient. 1t would be more a I" cave of
the Winds" as PIATT now calls it,

of the Committee will be rejected.
