Congressman at the end, supplying the wind,
may Sag, as his speech rolls along, nearly the
words of Waller:
Tell him that wastes his time nnd me,
Th.t now he knows

How great bore he seems to bel
FIGHT BETWEEN TEE swnIrCAR1ERs.
The vigorous efforts Of the two papers, both
daily to attract some attention here By pretend
ing to be tho Presidents pulse, has apparently
failed. The printef's organ cried in vain, in
doab}e-leaded slangwhang: "Deposel depose !"
The clerical organ trimmed to the wind, and
tempered it to the shorn lamb, and seemed to
say: "Punish not these young and reprehenai-
ble ones!" Banks was not allowed to resign.
Earnsworth, Blair, and others gave nobody that
opportunity. Ben Butler, however, was some-
where in the bush, taking aim, and keeping up
that old fight behind the school-house with
Earnsworth. Chandler Ias coming over to the
House side, cunning for Blair, sublime sub
iect to be carved in low relief On his brass statue
of greatness, where the inscriptionis already re-
solved upon:
Here lies the second Zach:
He stuck to his friends, such as they we're;
And prosecuted his enemies, which was Of no conse-
lEence.
He heavy on the Aericanue and history can never
do justice to his motives,
GARFIELD Oh THE TWO BODIES.
General Garfield said, ,as to the difference in
charity between the House and the Senate:
sit reminds me Of the picture Macaulay
draws Of the exhange Of positions at one time
between the WhiS and Tory parties. He ikened
it to tie fight between the man and the snake,
which ragged SO long that the snake got the
mans tactics and nature, aud the man
tie snakes after awhile, and they came out
Of the fight with the snake bifurcated and hu-
named, and the man crawling thing, which
hiseed and slipped off on its ear. The Senate
used to be the more dignihed: mature-minded,
and conservative body Of the two, allow to act,
and careful OF It's motives. It has engaged at
different times in conflicts with tho House, and
re have exchanged natures. Now the House is
liberal. magnanimous. and in favor OF old rela-
lions and tolerance while the Senate has grown
vindictiEe; unsparing, and has visited personal
Gispleaszsre upon it's Independent men, and ia
clauorng for US to do the game"
This ell co1zcs from the presence in the Senate
OF three OF forrmen Of extraordinarily mean M
tares: the pouter-pigeon man; old Zach, who
is rot responsible for his conduct; the lean and
caTious Cameron aud, it is said, George Ed

sch ool in the South at s25 rer month, instead Of
giving away its patronage. Q. ?. Morton is said
to be weary Of quarrelllng, and better disposed.
The condition Of politics here is not encourag-
ing. The Senate has become steadily worse,
year after year, corrupted BY the Offices it gives,
and By the perfectly wicked countenance it turns
to every proposition Of reform.
C1EV5 AND THEELER'5 GO.
For some time past, we have been hearing .
great deal about the vast natural eagaclty and
of NiI1isyr A Nhaa1ar nj T. from
New York State, On the Fen1an frontier. Appar-
emily dissatisfied with the extent Of his motor
iety, Nr. Wheeler took pains, the other day, to
advance it by introducing q hundred-minion-dol-
lar:bil as the swelling prelude to the imperial
theme Of himself He did it gently, and with:
out q ripple Of his azure brow. He asked to
hare Incorporated "The Governor and Man
ayers of the E1chequer of the United States OF
America Since Proctor Knott's speech On Du-
luth, Or Connors address on the contested cleo
tion case, no single effort has been 80 success
fuE
A project OF this sort Was mentioned to me- by
Rochester (N. ~ ex-Nember Of Congress, last
year,-Freeman Clarke. It is probably q part Of
the impertinence Of the Henry Clews gang, Of
New York, to get control OF the finances OF this
country.
Some organized effort is necessary. to be made
in behalf Of the people against some rapacious
and dishonest bankers Of this country. These
fellows are the vastest and most real corrupters
Of the public business, and they perform upon

pace with them. The lawyerswho comeh hero are
generally their enaissaries, and the lobbylsts
merely represent in energy which these bankers
pnt down in capital. To turn over Government
iunds as il it were piece of patriotism, and
live upon the loan Of public deposits to advance
means to conspirators to seize the public taxes,
and crawl about for information to operate upon !;
is such the great banker Of modern days? Can
much money make man no nobler than thlss

that if Mr.. Froude has got a tail, he would do
well to run home with it and make it as little
conspicuous as possible. He came to this coun-
try generally favored, although less widely
make it appear. 4 reaction existed against Irish
mrnicii al POLITICS in our cities; and the big &c
cleslastical movement Of the King OF Prussia.
5nd Of Dollinger and the secular Catholic party
IN Europe, had excited some sympathy amongst
u.s. Ert it WAS soon evident that Mr. Froude
Was not amongst us as literary man, animated
by the cathollcity Of historian; but that he oc-
cupied sort Of emissaTy relation to the British
stoned He struck us IS occupying Mr. Parton's
Literary position toward the Danish Treaty, or
toward Butler at New Orleans, s,-half-tooteT and
ha1f-author, and with . contingent fee some-
where about his breeches. So, while hit.
Ffoude WAS filing his bellows and expanding his
frcgship, go as to make it appear that he had a
big errand indeed amongst us, to which the
Epizootic was nothing, greatman people we're
and arbitrating in advance between the parties.
Some such genial little book, for example, as
". c. Taylor's Irish History, written BY
Church of England man, and repubished by Har-
per l. Brothers, probably On advantageous terms
to the author, in 1888. There We read enough
Of centuries Of selfish, shameless, bloody rule to
nearly explain tie blind stupidity OF Fenlanls1n.
And, by tie time AIr. Froude got up and pro
ceeded to sneer 0he favorite form Of English
logic) at the whole career Of an unfortunate

to Switzerland and Germany. wki,e the barbar-
GUS pirates Of the North were laying the heath
en- timbers of our race, we felt, from knowledge,
that he was spinning yarn for special pur-
pose, and putting incongrous things and infer
cnces together, not warranted by the books. His
trip here has been 3 failure to more any great
mass Of sentiment and he will do well to get
home with his reputation as general historian
safe. The other man, Burke: has ssturned him "
in the argument. Why, at any rate, does Mr:
Froude want us to mix in with the sorrows OF
ENGLAND on the Irish question, who are 30 much
