Rarely have we listened with more interest
to public lecture on any subject than to the
lecture given last evening by Mrs. Livermore
in Granite Hall. The reputation of the lady
had led the audience to expect rich treat,
but the demonstrations of applause and the
satisfaction expressed in various ways by the
large numbers in attendance, showed that
these expectations were more than realized.
The subject of the lecture was ''Women in
the War" This theme Mrs. Livermore per-
fectly understands, as the lecturer herselfw was
one of that band of noble women who during
the war left the comforts of home to minister
to the wants of our sick and wounded SOL
diers. She was foremost among the true
herones who labored to obtain and distri-
buted with a generous hand those things that
administered comfort to the heroes at the
front. She was often at the front herself.

ed. Mrs. Liyermore spoke last evening for
nearly an hour and half without any appar

best language and giving the most vivid des-
cription 1t was most admirable lecture and
exceedingly instructive, being beautiful and
glowing picture Of the important part in our
national struggle which was performed by the
women of the nation. Those who heard the
lecture last evening would be glad to have it
repeated.

F0RTY-SECoND CONGRESS-.
WASHINGTON, March Il.
SENATE.

SENATE.
Mr.. Wilson introduced bill to remove
political disabilities of all persons except
members of the cabinet and senators and
representatives, who left Congress to go into
the rebellion. Referred to committee on po-
litical disabilities.
Mr.. Anthony submitted resolution for
the investigation of southern affairs as fol-
lows:
Resolved by the Senate, the House concur
ring, that joint committee, consisting of 5
Senators and Representatives be appointed,
whose duty it shall be to inquire into the con-
dition of the late insurrectionary States, so
far as regards the execution of laws and the
safety OF lives and property of citizens of the
United States, with leave to report at any
time the result of their investigations to Con
gress, with such recommendations as they
may deem expedient; and that such commit
tee be authorized to empty clerks and steno-
graphers to sit during recess, take testimony,
and visit at their discretion any portion of
said States during the recess of Congress
to print and make public at any time during
recess, the result of their investigation, and
that the expenses of said committee be paid
out of the Congressional contingent fund.
Mr.. Anthony explained that the resolution
would provide for joint investigating COM
mittee, upon which, both Houses would be
represented, instead of special committee of
one branch as proposed by the House.
The Senators on both sides of the chamber
would OF course be represented on the COM
mittee.
| Mr.. Trumbull suggested an increase of the
committee to senators and representa-
lives, and that, the present Senate Committee
to investigate southern affairs be included in
the number.
Mr.. Anthony accepted the suggestion for
an increase of the committee and the reso-
luton was modified accordingly.
| Mr.. Thurman said that he was willing to
| forego any private opinion and vote for such
| investigation, which, in the opinion of ma
| jority, was considered necessary, but he
wanted an amendment so as TO secure a fair
representation to both parties on the sub
| committee of Maine, committee which
might sit at various points south. He denied
that the investigation was to be party mat
ter, and protested against the idea that any
one party man more than another had an in
terest in the preservation of peace of the
country as thesmatter had in some quarters
assumed the appearance of partnership. He
would now provide for fairness in the investi-
CATION of the sub committee.
Mr.. Trumbull remarked that in calling at
tention to the matter the Senator from Ohio
had probably accomplished his object. Ger
tainly no one desired to obtain any informa-
ton which was not correct, and the commit
tee, if appointed would doubtless heed the
suggestion.
Mr.. Scott said the committee on the South
would never take testimony unless one or
two members of the minority on the commit
tee were present
Mr.. Thurman expressed himself satisfied
with having called attention to the matter and
Withdrew his suggestion for an amendment

An old inlabitant writes us that "the 18th
of March is the earliest time the ice has left
the river since 1855. 4 record from 1855 to

left, twenty years in March, and two years
before the Goth of that month. In 1906 it left
March 18TH in 1912 March 18th. Jones, AN
other oldest inhabitant' is believed to be SUBJ
stantially correct in relation to the movements
of the ice in 1926. An account of the freshet
in the spring of that year may be found in
the History Of Augusta, pages 4Gl-2, which,
however, records that the ice broke up on
Sunday the 9th, and jamming at Browns
Island, left the same day. We were at Gar
