CHURZ AND HIS TRADUCERS.
Correspondent Of the Bulletin.)

Congress rc-assembled yesterday. The
senate was not very fall, while
the house was quite slim, and
in consequence very little business
of Importance was transacted In
tho senate Senator Schurz replied to the
administration organ, the New York
Times He reviewed the charges in de-
tail and clearly proved them to be a tissue
of falsehoods, and denounced the paper as
being guilty of shameless, intrepid and
cumulative lying and thought the ad-
mnistraton very unlucky in having
such an organ.
THE COLLAR wEARERs VINCE.
The Grant collar wearers WINGED a. the
the plain language of the senator, for
when he said Times it really meant the
master spirit-Grant. Singular that
Grant should single out Jennings, the
English editor of the Times, as his mouth.

or aspiration is un-American. The paper
is legally liable for the vile ISLANDERS which
it publishes but Gen. q ant is morally re.
sponsible, for il he does not personally die
tate the articles they are done in his inter-
ests and have his sanction.
CALL OFF THE DOGS.
Mr.. Schurz meant that much and nj
most said 1t. The administration Ind bet

Nebraska slasher-Tipton will prove too
much for Tray, Blanche and Sweetheart
which are nov barking at their heels.
This not being our fight we can afford to
give advice gratis. The resolutions Of
Hon. S. S. Cox recognizing a state of war
in Cuba and extending belligerent rights
to the insurgents, will force General
Grant TO show his hand on the question,
and If he has broken away from under
Fish's thumb in the matter we shall soon
know whether the friend of Spain-Fish

HE ANN EsTf BILL.
The amnesty bill has not been brought
up yet on account of the absence of Sena-
tor Robertson, who has ii IN charge but it
can be brought up at any time as it keeps
It's place. Sumner watches it like a hawk !

idea on to it. His hobby Of |
mixing whites and blacks in the public |
schools is commented on by sensible ne.
sroes as working them great injury;
but such as Prof Laagston whose family
are cream-colored, and who despise ne

pushing the minglins of white and blacks
with great pe"sistency. News received here
