TRUMBULL's COURSE.

The debate in the United States SEN
ate on Friday between Trumbull and
Morton was bitter. The latter reviewed
the menstrous party dictation which he
declared rose above honest legislation
for the whole country, and then pro-
eeeded to indorse in detail the platform
of the recent Missouri Liberal conven-
ton. He rejoiced that the Democrats
Of Connecticut had accepted its plat
form, and hoped that the party through
out the country would do the same. The
senator's emphatic approval of this
platform created no little sensation, as
it indicates without doubt just where be
may be found in the presidential cam
paign he made strong point when he
asserted that every effort toward reform
in the senate was met by assaults upon
those who make the effort, by aspersion
upon their motives, by charges of bad
party faith. The questions affecting the
government and the welfare Of the public
are, in the opinion of some members of
this body, who assume to be the peculiar
opponents Of the Republican party, no
longer to be decided on their merits,
but only with a view to their bearing on
the party"

what Josh Billings Knows About
HolAla.

Hotels are houses of refuge-the mar
ried mans retreat, the bachelors para
disc. Good landlords are like good step
mothers-they know their business and
do it. They knew your wifes father
when he was living, and your first wife
but they never mention her before your
second. Hotels are connected in most
minds with hash. Hash is made of cast
off victuals, and has done more to nour-
ish the present generation than any
other kind of mixed food. A nice little
tenderloin steak, few baked potatoes,
couple of pieces of pie, some doughnuts,
a few biscuit, and-hash does very well
for breakfast
Many hotels are kept on the European
plan, but the majority of them on none
at all. Everybody knows what hotel
room is like-how boiling over with com
forts it is, and how it makes people who
occupy it think about home. 1t gener-
ally measures about thirteen feet seven
inches by nine feet four. There are two
pegs to hang clothes on-one broken off
and the other pulled out. The bell rope
is broken off just six inches beyond
reach. There are no curtains, for what
good could they be2 You couldn't see
out. The bureau has three legs, and the
hangs by one pivot. The
bed is made of Stats and very thin
mattress. You have to go to bed side
ways, and when you get in you 60 down
on the Stats like pice of beefsteak on
the bars of gridiron.

New YoRM, February 26.-Walter
Roche, Vice-President of the Bowling
Green savings bank, against whom a
warrant has been issued on the charge
of Incorporating funds of the bank
is still at liberty, but will be arrested to-
day if his promised securities are not
forthcoming. 1t is expected, however,
that Judge BIatchford will issue stay

save Roche from arrest; or, if he is ia
ken into custody before the sheriff re-
ceives notice of the stay, he will require
his commitment without bail.

that the trial will occupy more than two

The Herald's special from Washington
is authority for the statement that our
government has authorized an American
banking house to make an offer to the
Gladstone ministry to settle all questions
at issue growing out of the Alabama
claims, for ten million pounds sterling.
1t is believed that this proposition will
be received. If the question cannot be
settled on basis OF this offer, 1t IS not
doubted that an answer of our govern
ment to Lord Granville will be a tri-
umphant vindication Of the position as
sumed in the American case.
The acceptance Of this informal esti-
mate viii do away with the necessity of
an answer to Granville's note, such as is
now contemplated by our government.
The answer, if it is sent in the shape in
which it must be necessarily put if Eng
land again refuses an amicable settle
ment, will clearly demonstrate willful
infringement Other treaty obligations on
the part of Great Britain, which will be a
cause for war.

THOMAS ORCHESTRA. = Tomorrow,
Wednesday and Thursday evenings, the
Greenlaw Opera House will be dedicated
to soul-inspiring music. Theodore
Thomas has probably the best musicians
in the country arranged around him in
an orchestra complete and perfect in its
organization. Its work displays pre-
cision marvelously beautiful, developing
a taste and knowledge of music unsur-
passed. No wonder it is asked; What
magic or mesmeric power is that by
which the director, with his slight baton
winds to the utmost tension the senses,
passions, nerves of every person in his
audience, and holds them sensitive and
powerless beneath his spell? 1t is The
power Of music-pure unalloyed ideal;
and right here we may sum up in one
little sentence, the signal achievement of
this Orchestra. 1t makes real and per
ceptable to the nearer the composers
subtlest ideal.
Brooks OPERA HoUsE.-The Victo-
rifle family at Broom's have proven a
great attraction. They certainly merit
much appreciation, for their perform
ances are first-class. The thrilling feats
of Henry and Oscar on the horizontal
bar are excellent, and their terrific leaps
in mid air simply astounding. Neil
Rogers, one of the cleverest delineators
of Ethiopian character in this country,
is becoming a great favorite, and is no
small card at Broom's. Altogether,
Broom has an excellent company and
we'll deserving patronage.
The OLYMPIc.-Manager Lusk seems
to keep pace with the times,
and hence his variety company is one OF
the best in the South, and capable of
giving a mirth-provoking entertainment
every evening, The Olympic is always
well patronized because the company is
always good one and the performance
such as to interest and entertain.

A certain Mr.. Dicker, of San Jose,
Texas, had the misfortune to die sud-
denly, and to possess, besides, several
external evidences that he had been
struck with club. He was found lying
in pool of blood, and near him was a
stick Of wood. A fellow-lodger named
Quimby was arrested for the crime, but
was triumphantly acquitted through able
counsel, who convinced the jury of the
following facts; During terrible
thunderstorm a bolt struck telegraph
pole on the corner of two streets, shat
tering the timber and throwing splinters
in every direction. One Of these splin-
tiers passed through the depot, and then
entered the window of Mr.. Dicker's resi-
dence on the opposite corner. Before
Mr.. DECKER could inquire into the cause
of the disturbance he was smitten to the
floor. Now" said the counsel, here
is Mr.. Quimby, an innocent ledger at
Mr.. Dicker's house, who was seen clam
bering out Of the window after the win
dow was broken. / will leave it with

circumstances, any one of you would not

circumstances. The jury announced
their verdict without leaving their seats.

The South Carolina Legislature has a
bill before it, which, if passed, will levy
tax of nineteen mills, or nearly two
per cent. on the property of that dis
tressed State. The object Of the bill is
to raise three million dollars. The APP
preparations call for only one million;
but the other two millions, it is believed,
will be used to buy up the fraudulent six
million bonds issued by the State au-
thorities. In addition to this heavy tax,
there is collectable, this year, another
one of ten mills on the dollar, levied
last year. The people say they cannot
pay these rates.

The Louisville Ledger has been suf-

thousands of dollars in the vain at
tempt to get II upon substantial foot

terprise is more difficult to accomplish
than the establishment Of permanent
newspaper. Mere talent is not sufficient.
Genius cant do it. 1t takes work and a

be obtained by severe newspaper expe-
Renee. We came to like our name
sake, and shall miss it. The great fault
of the paper was that its articles were
not sufficiently condensed, and that 1t
neither led nor followed the currents
of popular sentiment. AS we said

particularly its Washington specials. 1t
is said that, upon its ruins, the expert

The Tribune says: The custom-house
has been conducted in such manner
for year or two past that merchants
have had to resort, in many instances
developed before the congress committee
on retrenchment, to bribery of inspec-
tors and others to get their business
done at all. And now the President has
ordered the prosecution Of all the mer-
chants thus forced to resort to bribery.
The original infamy bears no compari-
son in degree to this; and the order will
never be mistakenly accepted as a genu-
inc effort at reform. f.

WHAT a precious set of fellows our
Radical rulers are, exclaims the Louis
vile Courier-Journal. During the
Franco-Prussian war, they managed to
create the impression that their feelings
and sympathies we're about as strongly
enlisted on the German side as if they
had actually been born in the Fader-
land. And yet, after all this, it turns
out that President Grant and his friends
were all the while furnishing arms to
France, and that the government arsen-
ais were running day and night, pre-
pairing cartridges with which to kill "the
