1t is an old saying, that "when
rogucs fall out, honest men get their
dues" The family quarrel now Ia
progress among the "loil" and Radi-
cal corruptionists at Harrisburg, is
being waged rather bitterly. Senator
Lowry, of Erie, is engaged writing
letters TO the Philadelphia Telegraph,
portraying the character Of George
Bergner editor Of tho Harrisburg
Telegraph, tho "loil' State organ. The
following is specimen of this rich
and racy correspondence. Lowry and
Bergner are representative men of
their party, and are therefore speci-
mems of modern loyalistsand Hessians

Congressional RnscnIifn.

Our readers arc no doubt aware
that since tho advent of Radicallsm
TO power, all manner of crimo is
practiced in high places by the officers
and agents of the Government, the
government" itself not being proof
against prcsents-bribcs.
One of tho evils which seems TO
have afflicted Congressman for the
past ten years, is tho sale Of Cadet
ships. Many of tho members cnga-
ging in it as q matter of merchandise.
Rich men selling their sons to Con-
gressmen for West Point and Annap-
oils, for price, like so many horses
or oxen. Those paying The highest
price securing tho place. Dollars and
cents being substitutes for merit and
honor. An investigation on tho part
of a Congressional committee shows
that more than ono.third of the mem
bers in the present and past Congress
had engaged in this infamous traffic,
but the meanest scalawag ofthc whole
tribe has really escaped expulsion.
We refer to r. r. Butler, of Tennssee,
scalawag of the deepest dye. This
Butler was n Confederate Colonel,
one of the first TO go into the war,
and stuck TO it until the surrender.
He however, soon after turned "loil-
ist," and was elected to Congress by
the Radicals, but having been ''rebcl
Colonel" he would not take the iron
clad oath, and hence could not take his
seat His doll brothers soon over
come this difficulty by passing an act
relieving him Of all penalties, and
allowed him to take his seat without
taking the iron clad oath; yet, while
Rev. Whittemorc, Devices, and other
scalawags and carpet-baggers have
been expelled for selling Cadctships,
this meanest Of all scalawags, retains
his seat, merely pockcting vote of
ccnsure, and ready TO sell another
Cadetship. The vote for expulsion
stood, yeas l02, nays 6s-this not
being two-thirds, the question failed.
The vote of censure was however,
unanimous.
One of the jokes which occurred in
the midst Of this carnival of crime,
was, that this very Same Butler voted
for the expulsion of poor Whittemore
and Devices

A THIEviSo U. S. SENATOR. The
Radical Senator Harlan is accused, on
frst.ratc Radical authority, of being
ono Of the boldcst and biggest land
thieves in the country. While Secre-
tary Of the Interior, he was largely
engaged in the business, and hc still
keeps it up. He has managed to
appropriate and TO parcel out among
a small and seloc. circle Of loyal
rogues like himself. the entire roscr-
walton of the Kaw Indians, a tract oil
fertile land lying south of Kansas.
The theit was committed under tho
guisc of bogus treaty which the
lribo declare they never signed. The
Senate ought at once investigate the
case, and TO cxpel this unworthy
member, who appears to be much
greater villain than any Of the mem.

TREASURY TowELs.-The extent to
which the United States Treasury
seems TO need toweljng is something
appalling. Mr.. Boutwell, has just sent
TO the House OF Representative a
statement Of the incidental expenses
of his department, with a grand total
of ffty-ninc thousand dollars. Near.
ly every conceivable article figures in
some item, from flower pots to fans
and alpaca braid but the great item
of constant recurrence is that of wash
ing towels. This hint Of cleanliness
not only occurs on every page, but in
every second or third line. II is the
monotonous echo TO everything. 1t
will give tho people satisfying idea
Of The filthiness of the national lucre
TO hear that this towel washing for
ono year amounts to the snug sum Of
one thousand eight hundred and forty.
five dollars, and that the number OF
towels washed is upwards OF thirty
thousand-enough TO give the Treasu.
ry people one hundred clean towels
every day.

Tennessee Butler, the Cadet seller,
testified that he could not find a boy
in his district, qualified to send TO
West Point, hence he had appointed
son Of Gen. Tyler's, from another
State, and the General testifes that
he gave Butler $1,000. No wonder
Butler gets to Congress from the dis
trict he represents. No boy intelli-
gent enough to send to school at the
Military Academy! Like boy like
Congressman. Loyalty must be in a
blissful state in that district.
