The failure OF the clique produced great excite
ment al the Stock Board. Details OF the effect In

WINDING UP THE SESSION.

HE House of Representatives yesterday
afternoon, on motion of Mr. Schenck, sus-
pended the rules which prohibit bills being
sent to either house OF to the President
during the last three days of the session.
This is according to the almost invariable
CUSTOM and in view of this custom we fail to
see any good reason for keeping the sus-
pended regulations in he manual of the
House. Whole weeks of valuable time have
been absolutely wasted by both houses and
now that but two full working days of the
session are left, there is the same grand rush
and clatter in the Legislative mill that we are
accustomed to witness at the close of ses-
sion. Such vital measures as the Funding
bill, upon the provisions of which the future
financial policy and credit of the country in
great degree depend, are incomplete, because
each house has its favorite theory, and if the
bill is to be perfected at all, it must be done
in conference committee. The powers dele
gated to the two houses by the Constitution
are redelegated by them to a bare half dozen
Congressman, who will, perhaps, do the best
they can in the time at their command, but
who are absolutely incapable of patching up
the financial system of the country in few
hours. Several vital measures have already
been thus summarily digested, and several of
great importance are still pending because of
differences between the two houses. All this
is the legitimate fruit of the tardy manner in
which Congressman have faced their duties
during the unusually long session just draw
ing to close, and still further result is the
abandonment of all attempts at disposing of
some questions, like the case of Georgia,
until next winter. But, then, the sessions of
Congress usually wind up in this fashion.

CAMERONS OnLPARLLETY

Our structures on Senator Camerons shame
full skulking on the income tax have COM
PEELED him to exhaust his fertile ingenuity to
break, if possible, the tide of reprobation that
has surged against him. At first it was au-
thoritatively announced by telegraph from
Washington that Senator Cameron had paired
with Senator Anthony, and yesterday morn
ing contemporary gave the same explanation
of Cameron's failure to vote, and called upon
us to retract 1t happens, however, that
Senator Anthony was not paired at all, as the
record shows, and that explanation, originally
thrown out by Cameron and reiterated by his
apologists, fails because il is false.
Finding that the story of pairing with
Anthony would not hold water, Senator
Cameron next gave out that he was paired
with Senator Sprague. The explanation Of
pairing with Sprague has a shadow of merit,
but it has not the substance of truth 1t is
true that Senator Cameron paired with
Sprague about the LIST of July, to enable him
to go home to spend the Fourth, and Mr..
Sprague so stated but Senator Cameron had
returned and been in his seat some time be-
fore the test vote was had on striking the in
come tax out of the bill, and his pair with
Sprague was ended.
On the night that the tie vote was had,
when his vote would have saved the nation
from the triumph of the ring on gross re-
ceipts, he was in the Senate very short time
before the vote was taken, and he must have
left knowing that vote would certainly be
reached within an hour. 1t was his duty not
to pair or to skulk from his place when an
issue of such moment was to be deter
mined. Who doubts that he would have
been in his place, not only voting
but lobbying from chair to chair, to save his
ring Of spectators, had gross receipts been
in danger?-but when they were safe from tax
alton he retired gracefully, on the eve of the
vote; and now, in his confusion, conflicting
stories of pairing with two Senators are
thrown out to shield Mr.. Cameron from his
ill-concealed perfdy. He was there few
minutes before the vote was taken-why did
he not stay? If he did pair, with whom did
he pair? Was it Anthony? If so, Anthony
cheated him. Was it Sprague? If so, had
not the pair expired when Cameron returned
from Harrisburg? There is strange dis
crepancy out, looking at the explanation
from every standpoint, and Cameron should
at once proceed to explain his confused ex-
plantations.

WASHINGTON DESPATCH says 'the Globe
will cost the Forty-frst Congress about
$600,000," one-third of which expense arises
from printing speeches which are never de-
ivered and documents which are never read.
The maxim that "talk is cheap evidently
does not apply to Congressional speeches.
They are fearfully expensive, and impose
dreadful tax upon the time, the patience, and
the purse of the nation. Nine-tenths of all
this bulky nonsense is made up of ridiculous
personal explanations and buncombe bosh.
The newspapers furnish to the mass of the
people, gratuitously, all the Congressional
proceedings that they care to see, and it is
high time that the large sum now squandered
annually to enrich the printer of the Globe
and to crafty the vanity of Congressional
noodles should be devoted to more useful
purpose.

''SHoo-FIY" Cox took rather lofty flight
in the House yesterday. In the course of his
remarks in opposition to the conference re-
port on the Funding bill, he declared that the
only panacea of the country was "a fair
gradual, and honest resumption of specie
payments" All sensible men will agree with
him in this, but there is likely to be some ex-
pressions of doubt as to the possibility of
bringing it about through the agency of the
alliance proposed by Mr.. Cox. ''God, the
laws of trade, commerce, and Democracy
are the forces which Mr.. Cox invites into the
field, side by side, to fight for resumption.
This quadruple alliance presents some strange
features, and it is extremely doubtful if its
component parts will harmonic sufficiently
for an effective warfare upon the Republican
party. If the alliance proposed by Mr.. Cox
were tripartite one alone, with the Demo-
cratic element left out, there might be some
reason for fear and trembling in the Republi-
can camp.

LIE NEW YORK RIOT

A SERIOUS riot occurred at New York yester-
day between party of Orangemen, who we're
celebrating the anniversary of the battle of
the Boyne, and party of three hundred
Irish laborers. Three persons were killed
during the affray, and large number were
severely wounded Each party charges its
adversary with being the aggressor, the
Catholics alleging that the Orangemen played
party tunes, used insulting epithets, and
finally threw stones at the workmen before
the latter made an attack; while the Orange
men allege that the workmen were the first
assailants. Whatever may be the facts, for
eigners of either faction sadly abuse the
freedom of this country when they seek to
transfer the quarrels of the Old World to our
soil, and to disturb the public peace here by
their differences of opinion about battle
fought many years ago on the other side of
the Atlantic, If they cannot forget their
ancient animosities, they should at least re-
frain from irritating public demonstrations,
and strive to forget Old World victories oil
defeats in the common glories of American
citizenship. They should see k to understand
and to act upon new and live issues apper
tanning to their present position, in
stead of perpetuating bootless quarrels.
