Some of the accounts of the preparations

to be corrected.
Mr.. Morton-I wish to ask the Senator
one question. l want to ask him if the
thing that he refers to was not a violation
of existing laws! The collector had no
right to reserve that money. And can the
Senator make it any more a violation of the
law than it was at that time! Had not the
man right to keep his money!
Mr.. Trumbull-It is no use to try to
cover up these things by saving they are
violations OF law. Does not the Senate
understand it, and does not the Senator
from Indiana understand it, and does he
not know that if that storehceper, Mr..
Thompson, had not submitted TO it he
would have been turned out Of office!
How long does he suppose the men that re-
fused to pay their assessments IN the Gus
Toulouse at New York would have re-
tanned their offices.
Is it this system that the Senator from
Indiana commends as the best in the
world! Why, sir, is not tie Interior De
partment full of it! Did not the former
Secretary expose it! l have known Of
officers, postmasters, and other officers re-
ceiving letters from some political com
mittee telling them that they had been
assessed a certain amount OF per cent on
their salaries for party purposes Officials
have told me they dlsiiked 10 lose their
places, and supposed they had better pay
their assessments than have any difficulty
about it. l have known hundreds
of dollars to be assessed against officials in
this way; and what next Then the ot-
GERS, part of whose salaries are taken to
pay political assessments. come to Congress
and ask us to raise their salaries. Not a
session passes that appiica tons are not
made here to raise the salaries of Your
clerks your auditors and other officials in
your departments. Why are You asked to
raise their salaries9 Because they have to
take part Of them to pay the assessments

ate. 1t might have been a proper consider
alton it 1t had not been here to determine
whether you would bring in such PROPOSE
ton, but 1t IS not pr0per subject for a
party consideration afterward: and the
moment that the Republican Senators were
called together for such a purpose, it was
manifest the country would understand
that there were some party reasons that
required it,
Sir, deny that the Republican party of
this country is to be bound by any such ac
ton, and. for one, repudiate on the spot
the idea OF being bound by any such caucus.
l will never consent while have the honor
OF seat here that party caucus or any
other combination or any organization, shall
prevent my bringing before the Senate for
its Investigation, matters that l believe the
public good requires to he investigated.
Sir, what followed! The resolution then

ton and retrenchment, to consider such

ferred 20 it.

Railway Dusf.

A Manchester scientist has recently given
an account OF microscopcal examination
of dust blown into Il railway carriage and
collected on newspaper placed On seat
near the open window. This dust showed
large proportion Of highly magnetic fra
ments of iron. The particles were long. thin
and straight, the largest being about 30
of an inch. The weight of dust collected
was 81 grains, and the proportion Of iron
particles amounted to 80 grains. The iron,
which was separated by soft magnet, con,
sisted of fused particles of dross-like clink-
ers, which were more or less covered with
eXcrescences and spikes elongated into tails
There were also small angular particles like
cast iron, having crystalline structure
The other portion of the dust consisted
largely OF clnders, fragments Of glass, few
bits Of yellow metal, grains of sand and bits
Of coal. 1t is thought probable that the
magnet strips Of iron must be famine from
the rails and wheel tires, and that the fused
iron particles came from the coal or from
the crate bars. This dust was collected
near Birmingham.

that it was audible and distinct to every

Could he! The answer to the question
illustrates his leading trait Of the policy Of

In due time he went to Washington City,

The Lincoln County herald., 1871-06-01
Trip u lincoln County.

In company with our genisl brother
quill Of the Clarksville Sentinel, wo made
. Aying visit from that city into Lincoln
county, passing through Paynesvills, 10
Pike, and New Hope, 10 Liucoln county.
The road from Clsrksville to Paynesville
is in 6ne condition, and runs through .
rich section Of the country, 10 6ne state
Of cultivation, scarcely equalled auy.
whore. Paynesville 10 . charming vii.
lage, nestled in . picturesque valley,
whose richness and verdure shone on
every hand, and under the morning SUI,
seemed to smile us joyous welcome.
A few miles beyond Paynesville we
crossed the boundary line between Pike
and Lincoln, and soon We could plainly J
tell we were In another county. Though
there was very little change in the quail
ity Of the land, there was most manifest
change in the kind Of road, and the char.
actcr Of improvements, they being, a. .
general thing, nothing like a. good % 10
our county.
Our road passed through q very 6ne
section Of Lincoln, the lands being equal,
as o general thing, to ours, and the peo.
pie hospitable and kind, but somehow the
general improvement Of the county is far
behind ours. We could attribute the
difference to nothing else than that We
have been pushing on tho system oI
public improvement, while they have not
There is very little difference in the
date Of the settlement Of the two coun
ties, none in the character of the inhab.
itants, and very little in natural advan.
taRes, and yet Pike has . much larger
population, and third more taxable
wealth, and seemingly more thrifty in
every respect. This difference is mainly
attributable to our system of improved
roads, and our spirit Of enterprise. Pike
has now sixty miles Of improved roads
while Lincoln has less than eight, and
this tells tic tale.
Our visit extended beyond New Hope
and about 10 clock we drew up at picnic
and meeting called to infuse little public
spirit into the people. We we're glad to
meet so many Of our old friends whom
We have not seen for years. The cordial
welcome we received was most gratifying,
and old familiar scenes awakened memo
ries Of the past, pleasing to dwell upon.
But, as this is fast age, our stay was
necessarily short, and bidding adieu to
old friends, and the scenes Of earlier
days, we were soon bounding on our way
back to old Pike, moro convinced than
ever Of the necessity and value of public
improvement.
