The correspondent OF the New York Sun.
who signs himself "Sappho," has made the
exciting discovery that Governor Cooke, Mr.
shepherd and other District officials, propose
ia In Congress, body and breeches BY treat
ing tie M mbers to semi-occasional meal OF
warm yictuai, Their "palatisl residences
are to be the seem of this bacchanalian
bribery-also the Club House. Mr.. Sappbo
already scents the fesh-pots. We can fancy
him rising from his virtuous, and filling, but
somewhat monotonous hash and following his
indignant nose to the neighborhood of the
aforesaid seductive symposiums. "Great Hev-
ings? says tbs excited correspondent, shifting
down Ire Governors area, " what do / smeil?
Oyster. Chicken fxings! Claret punch! Old
rye! Great Hevtngsl what a corruption fund.
what temptation! No Congressman's
honor is safe with these things about"
This correspondent doubtless argues well
from his own standpoint, but it may reassure
him 10 know that from time immemorial it has
been the custom OF our prominent citizens, in
entertaining for the winter, to make no dis
elimination whatever against members OF Con-
gr6s>. On the contrary, members OF Congress
u coed standing have been considered Just as
eligible for, and just a. much entitled to, these
social cOurtesies OF tina season as any other class
Of residents or visitors. Ii has not been sup
POSED that they were so unfamiliar with warm
TictualS and the JOY of a good square meal that
dinner invitation would be considered cor
Tupt tribe. IL has not been held that members
seriously compromised their official integrity
by accepting such courtesies, or that our citi-
zenswere guilty OF an attempt upon their virtue
III rendering them.
ON the whole We think "Sappho's" fears are
uniounced- casual survey Of Congress does
not give the impression that the members come
here with bowels particularly pinched BY
famine. We don't believe that Goyernor
Cooke, II he were 30 minded, could buy a single
vote in either House with all the chicken salad

Holiday Goods

Now Is the time for dealers in all classes of
holiday goods to advertise their wares The
largest and bes; purchasers almost Invariably
make their selections early in the season while
stocks are full and varied, and before the rush
of customers has set in. Those who are the first
to make known to the public the attractions
they propose to hold out are therefore sure
TO reap the richest harvest. We need hardly
add, that TO 10 this thoroughly the columns
of JHs STAE should be used. As an advertising
medium it is cOncededly worth Gil the other
papers IL the city added together.
