Monday IS generally day of legislative
freaks in Congress. Motions are then in
order in the House to suspend the rules
and transact almost any kind of business
that may be iateyjected by members Of
that body. Towards the close Of the ses-
sion on Monday, Mr.. Bingham, of Ohio,
brought in bill to amend the bankrupt law
in several material particulars, where
upon Mr.. Hazelton. of Wisconsin, thrust

unconditional repeal Of the entire bankruptcy

Uote. There was no debate permitted, but
the proposition to repeal pressed to a
speedy vote. 1t is doubtful if the Senate
concurs, and it should not concur, if for
no other reason than can be urged in
behalf of Virginia alone. Our State Sen
ate very properly adopted resolution
yesterday, by vote of % to 8, instructing
our Senators in Washington to strenuously
oppose the repeal. The one great reason
why it should not be repealed at this
time is, that in this State the benefits
of the law have not been practically within

couoNEn HUGHES, ARGUMENT.

We publish to-day some of the main
points made in the very able argument OF
Colonel Robert W. Hughes, before the
House Committee upon the James
River and Kanawha Canal improvement,
which was published in full by the Wash
ington Chronicle of Monday.
The argument is very able and compre-
hensive, and sets forth the whole subject
in mastery manner. 1t is generally
understood that majority of the commit
tee favor Mr.. Negley's bill, which is the
one urged by Colonel Hughes and other
friends of the improvement looking after
Virginia interests in Washington. Colonel
Hughes deserves all the kind words and
goodly commentators accorded him by
the press Of Virginia for the energetic part
he is taking in this and other matters o.
paramount interest to the State. .a

Caldwell, of Kansas, bought his election,
he ought to be expelled. The evidence
looks quite conclusive, Ex-Governor Carney
testifying that he was paid $l5 800 to get
out of Caldwell's way. But the great
doubt Of the truth of this statement is that
man base enough to receive such bride,
has hardly character enough left to give a
feathers weight to his oath. If Caldwell
did as he was charged, it cannot be called
well. - d

TEE testimony in the Tweed trial fully
confirms the worst that has been published
of the Ring robberies. j. McB. Davidson
testlfes that his honest claim Of $l6,94o
was raised to $40, 170.40.
Andrew j. Carney testifes that the
warrants he endorsed amounted to 81, ill.,
4l3.07. OF this sum he received 1896 900
the total amount of his bill as honestly
rendered. Other equally startling factsarc
being brought out, and the proof clearly
connects Tweed with the worst of them.

THE education bill of Representative
Hoar, passed by the House aud warmly
recommended by the President in his annu-
al message, was taken up by the Senate
Committee on Education on Monday. This
bill deyotes the entire proceeds Of the pub
lie lands Of the United States to be set
apart as an educational fund and appor-
toned among the states in proportion to
population for the support Of common
schools. It provides that the United
States courts shall have Jurisdiction over
offences against the act, which some Of the
members of the Senate object to, on the
ground that as the distribution of the
money'is to be made finally by the state
authorities, the state courts ought to try
cases of malfeasance against the act.

hang like mighty incubus over the

Appropriate a to t1,c Season.

The New York Herald. in its mon
cy article, appropriately gives this ex-
pitssion in relation to the late decision
in the Morton, Bliss & Co., fraud:
"Recent advices arc to the effect
that one Of the Associate Justices of
South Carolina-Judge Willard, for
merly Of New York-has rendered a
decision in the suit Of firm of bank
crs here, brought for the purpose of
enforcing the laying of a special tax
to pay the interest on certain State
bonds believed to have been fraudu-
lcntly issued. This decision is ad
verse to the taxpayers, but it is not
ut all probable that they will permit
the matter to rest until a final verdict
is rendered by the Supreme Court of
the United States. Grave questions
are on trial, involving the integrity
of the Legislature and State officials,
aud local rottenness is not likely to
be faithfully probed by those who
have become infected by its atmos-
phere. The people of South Carolina
have already Indicated 3 cheerful
willingness to pay their honest debts.
The world asks nothing more. It is
reserved for the highest tribunal Of
the land mark the dividing line be-
tyeep the true and the false; and un-

H. Beade, Western Correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, and Author of
Life in Utah" " etc.
The National Publishing Co. of Atlanta,
Ga, has just issued one of the most remark
able, and attractive books of the century. 1.
is we'll known to every one that, far beyond
the Mississippi, and stretching over halt the
continent, is ayast region which we vaguely
term f'The Great West"-a region abounding
in the most wonderful natural formations,
rich in precious mineral deposits, and Offer
ing the greatest attractions to the settler and
the tourist. Though so often spoken of, it
is almost an unknown land"
Mr.. Beadle went into this region for the
avowed purpose Of seeing and describing it.,
and his journeyings and observations were
all governed by fixed purpose, that Of dis
covering and making known the actual
character condition and resources of the
country visited by him. lie first trayersed
the States Of Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska aud
Kansas, examining the lands, end living and
conversing with the people Of those sections.
For Five years he kept moving from point
to point, exploring the Territories, and the
great and rich States of the Pacific Coast,

Nevada and Idaho; passed into California
and Oregon, and there enjoyed peculiar ad
vantages for seeing and investigating the re-
sources and curiosities Of those remarkable
States. He spent considerable. time in New
Mexico, Arizona and Texas, and his ac-
count of his observations and discoveries in
those strange and deeply interesting portions
Of our country will commend his book to
the careful consideration Of the scholar, as
to all who seek practical information or
amusement. His only companions in his
travels in Arizona were Indian guides, and
for weeks during his explorations in that
Territory he never saw the face Of white
man.
To prospective emigrants and settlers in
the ''Far West" this history Of that vast
region will prove an invaluable assistance,
supplying as it does, q want long felt of IL

soil, products. distances, localities, means Of
travel, etc. 1t may be relied upon, for it
confirms no secondhand information.
It is comprised in one octave volume of
623 pages, and illustrated with 240 finc en-
cravings Of the scenery, lands, mines, peo-
pie and curiosities Of the Great West.
The low price at which the work is Issued
