WORCESTER CHORAL UNIoN.-No other city
in New England, Boston excepted, has for so
many consecutive years maintained so eminent
a choral association as our own city, or brought
out in so worthy manner such a variety of the
famous works Of the great masters, as our WOr-
cester musical society, and it is pleasure to
us to note the renewed interest evinced in the
society by members, as shown in the large at
tendance at the weekly rehearsals.

From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY.
WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March 20.
buffers BILL.
Gen. Butler got his kuklux bill read in the
house this afternoon, under the call Of states for
bills and resolutions, but only for reference. 1t
went to the judiciary committee, when ap-
pointed, which will probably be next December.
DIDN'T BITE.
A shrewd attempt was made in the house to
get in a kukux bill connected with general
amnesty bill; but the democrats declined to bite
the bait dropped to them. They want general
amnesty, but not badly enough to vote to the
president the use of the army to suppress the
kukluX.
NO PROGRESS.
The senate makes no progress with its caucus
resolutions. Mr.. Bayard of Delaware occupied
the entire day replying to Mr.. Sherman. 1t is
reported that not less than twenty senator's de-
sire to speak on one or the other of the two eau
Gus resolutions. Meantime, majority of the
senate is disguised with the whole business, and
would like to adjourn to go home, as there
seems to be no possibility of reaching any
effective legislation this summer.
The house committee on elections is hearing
arguments upon the validity of the congression-
al election in Tennessee. Mr.. Prosser, mem
Der of the last house from that state, claims
that, by the action of the state legislature last
June, the old law was. revived which fixes the
time of the congressional election in August.
There does not appear TO be much danger that
the house will eject the entire Tennessee delega-
ton by adopting Mr.. Prosser's argument.
SHORT DEBATE.
The short debate in the house over the senate
resolution creating a joint committee of investi-
CATION, was quite spicy. Mr.. Butler spoke only
five minutes; but, in that time, he said all that
could be said against the adoption of the senate
resolution. The house listened with great re
spect and perfect silence to Mr.. Shellabarger.
Mr.. Dawes five minutes convinced enough re-
publicans of the propriety of passing the reso-
luton to carry it. The majority was 6S.

OUR SATURDAY NIGHT
Perhaps we Blamed him too Much

This beautiful evening We have
been visiting the home Of poor
man.
He lives in an old, brown un-
painted, one story house, near the
edge OF the city-the city Of La
Crosse. II was not for the pur-
pose of finding something to write
about that we visited him in his
home. but to collect debt; for
i've years ago, soon after he was
married, he borrowed of US one
hundred dollars with which to be.
gin housekeeping. He then tho't
1t were cheaper and better to keep
house than to board that he could
save more and do better if he only
had little start.
One evening, almost five years
ago, with his young bashful wife,
he called at our little sanctum,
farther down town, and told his
story. He told it like a man, with
no whining or hesitancy. Told his
bopes-his plans, his wants and
determination By trade a car
penter, he intended to work his
way to position and in time to earn
home where he could live, raise
bis family. and enjoy life in a ra-
tlOral manner
He was TO pay US in year.
Twelve months went by, and he
wanted US to wait another wear.
To this request earnestly made we
could not say nay When came
the end of the second year, he
could not pay, and he asked for
more time, which was granted.
When came the third year, he
could not pay, and we wrote him
sharp note which we now wish had
never been written.
To this he plead inability, and
asked US to wait another year,
promising TO repay the loan at the
end of the year with interest. But
the fourth year saw him no better
off. so the account ran into the
fifth year, now nearly ended.
This evening we called at his
house. He was there, weary with
the labor of the week. On q bed
in one corner of the dining-room
and bedroom in one, lay his sick
wife, while two little children, in
need "f mothers care, tried to
hide behind each other as if afraid.
On cheap pine table sat q market
basket with soup bone, q loaf of
bread and five little parcels in
brown paper. He had been hold.

room.
