AGREED pgRYEcrLy.-Some four
weeks ago Sheriff Irvine, of Linn county.
made the acquaintance of Sheriff Moth
epy, while ON professional visit to this
city, and few days ago they wet again
here, but the second time it was case
Of mistaken identity on the part Of Ir-
vine, who imagined him (Matheny) to
be somebody else aud asked him; How
is Matheny getting on with the Office Of
Sheriff." The answer was, .'afier the
same old sort" This was not entirely
sati.factoty to Irvine, who soon again
repeated the same question and received
the same response. DO you think he
will make as good Sheriff as Murphy
didy" he further asked. "No" said
Jasper, II do not" ..That is Just what
! think" said Irvine, quito happy to
have struck sympathetic chord, and
we doubt if he fnds out until he reads
this item. that il was Matheny he had
Tor an auditor, us well rs FOR subject Of
criticism. He will be in luck if he en-.
joys the joke half as well M Matheny
does, but We think that no one will have
reason to end fault with either of them
as officials .Saien, Statesman.

Convention held, Of late years. in
the West except that Of Chicago.
The Western members claim that the
choosing Of st. Louis would have the
effect of greatly strengthening their
hands. There is no doubt but the
West will be the ground on which
the contest in 1872 will be decided.
The strife will be warm and bitter.
especially in States which are now
Radical, and this reason, no doubt,
has greatly influenced the Democrat
10 delegation in Congress, and per-
sonal preferences vanished at once
for the good Of the party, and they
now urge st. Louis for the honor oi
being the spot in which the next
President Of the United States will
bo selected.

A BoLTER BoLTED.

The main cause Of the partial DEM
ocratic defeat in Connecticut was
owing to the fact that the Democratic
candidate in the Second Congression-
al District had been o bolter at the
election two years ago. at which
time he assisted in the election of the
Radical candidate. Hence, at this
election, as q natural consequence.
the Democracy themselves were very
lukewarm in his. support, many hum
dredsev refusing to go to the polls
and thus that District, as well as the
State, was turned over to Radicalism.
This is the natural consequence when
boilers and d;ssenters secure an en-
dorsement through the trickery or
carelessness of conventions, and its
frequent recurrence in political his
tory should be q warning to Demo
Gratis in the future not to put such an
odious load upon the shoulders oi
Democratic voters.

HIGH OLD TIMES m CONGRESS.


There was q most disgraceful scene
in the House few days before Con-
gress adjourned. in which General
Butler and Gov. Swami were the
participants. andin which they called
each other about all the names in the
vocabulary. 1t commenced by But
ler's reference to Swami as q know
nothing, and the latter's relating that
Butler was not reponsible or truth
full in anything he said in political or
social life. He fruther charged But
Ter. while commanding in Baltimore
during the war, with being drunk
three days, with intimidating wo-
men and children, and illustrating
his debauchery in the vilest manner.
Butler said that it was false; that he
was sufficient to bring Swami and all
the other rebels in .he city on their
knees before him. The Republican
side applauded this. Swami testi-
titled to his own record as an official
and boasted that. unlike Butler, he
had handled millions without even
stealing Q spoon. The Democrats
applauded this. Butler returned
the fire by accusing Swami with hav-
ing burned Catholic churches, dis
franchised the Irish. and then turn
ing around at later day and court
ing the latter's vote. While Butler
was speaking, Swami started for the
lobby to get drink of water. But
Ter, pointing his finger at him said:
"There he goes. now, after vomiting
all his filth on me-" Both sides kept
it up in this vein for half an hour
Old members say that for gross per-
sonalities Butler has never been par
alleled in ell the disgraceful scenes
in Congress.

IT is said that the prospects of
Alaska are getting beautifully smaller
every month or so. The cost Of its
occupation by the government is
nearly 81, 600 a month. besides sup
plies. The Iroducts last year appear
to have consisted of about s14, 900
worth of salmon, 50. 400 worth of
seal and dog-fsh oil, and materi-
ally decreased fur trade. The Rus
sian population seem to be anxious
to get into some part Of the
Cars dominions; the American and
Europeans generally think they can
do better almost anywhere else,
while the Indians, who comprise q
large majority, don't apparently
know much about anything.
