WASHINGTON Intelllgen ee.

WASHINGTON, February 23.-No members
of the House believe the resolution for the
expulsion or Ames and Brooks can secure
even majority, much less two-third vote.
Some of the members of both political par
ties express the opinion that instead of a
general resolution of expulsion one OF censure
will be passed affecting all members of the
House concerned in the Credit Mobilier
operations. At least twenty gentlemen are
prepared to speak on the subject, and every
body anticipates exciting proceedings on
Tuesday.

went to Capt Jacks camp on Thursday, but
had not returned on Friday afternoon, at
four O'Clock. When she left. she gave all her
rings and jewelry to her husband, and much
anxiety is felt for her safety, as she was to
have returned before. The Peace Commits
loners are at Cottonwood creek, forty miles
north of Yreka. They are divided. Their
councils in the case insist on an uncondition-
al surrender. Meacham and Apologize
think the Modocs have been badly treated.
Odeneal, Superintendent of Indian Affairs,
had been sent for, which Meaeham favored
and Apologize opposed. The people there
have no hope of peace on the terms likely to
be offered, and doubt whether Meacham and
Applegate can get to to ak with Capt Jack,

EXECUTION or MuRDERxR.-NeIson
Wade was executed at Williamsport,
Pa, on Friday last, for the murder, in
July last, of the aged couple, John and
Isabella Mcbride, who lived near that
place. The mechanical part Of the exc
cution was wretchedly managed. The
rope was too long, and it was only after
three attempts that the guilty murderer
was suspended so as to keep his feet
from touching the ground. While the
rope was being shortened for the second
trial Wade was very profapc. lie told
the jailor to hurry up, as be had an ap-
poiutment to dine in bell with tie devil
at two O'Clock. lie said the only thing
that troubled him was whether the reo-
pie he murdered sro in heaven or hclI.
Wade had made full confession of the
murder shortly after its occurrence.

Poisoned FROM EATING CABBAGE.-
We learn from the Morgan Mercury OF
the lst of November, that IL has upon
good authority an account Of the poison
ing of family of five persons in the
neighborbood Of "RailrOad Union,
small village in this county, adjoining
the Morgan county line. The poisoning
was the result from eating boiled cab
bage. The physicians say they were
poisoned through the agency Of n small
green worm, which proves very destruc-
tive to the cabbage this season. They
recommend that persons using this veg
etable should be very careful; the leaves
should be separated and thoroughly ex-
amined before being placed in vessel
to be cooked. We have not heard the
name of the poisoned family.
We have also heard that several per-
sons in the neigbborbood complain that
their hogs have been poisoned by feed
ing them cabbage ilf;cted with ibeso
green worms. The matter n worth con-
sidering.-Hinehesftr Nsws

Why Men NEED WIvEs.-What does
a man need a wife for ? 1t is not mere
ly to sweep the house and make the
beds, and darn the socks and cook the
meals, chiefly that man wants wife.
If this is all, when young man calls TO
see lady, send him into the pantry to
taste the bread and cake she has made;
send him to inspect the needle work
and bed-making; or put broom into
her hands and send him to witness its
use. Such things are important, and
the wise young men will quietly look
after them. But what the true man
next wants of wife is her companion
ship, sympathy and love. The way of
life has many dreary places in it, and
man needs companion to go with him.
A man is sometimes overtaken with
misfortune; he meets with failure and
defeat; trials and temptations beset him,
and he needs one to stand by and SYM
pathize. He has some stern battles to
fight with poverty, with enemies and
with sin, and lie needs woman that,
while he puts his arm around her, aud
feels that he has something to fight for,
will help him fight; that will put her lips
to his ear and whisper words of coun-
sci, and her hand 10 his heart and inn
part new aspirations All through life
through storm and through sunshine,
conflict and victory, through adverse
and favoring winds-man needs a wo-
mans love; the heart yearns for it. a
sisters or mothers love will hardly sup
ply the need. Yet many seek for moth
ing further than success in housework.
Just enough, half of these get nothing
more. The other half, surprised above
measure, have gotten more than they
sought. Their wives surprise them by
bringing a nobler idea of marriage and
disclosing treasury Of courage, sympa-
thy and love.

WAI1ING.-How pleasant it is to wait
NOT upon the table-but for some one
to come in from whom you expect
hundred dollars, to pay note before
three o'clock, of which time it only lacks
twenty-five minutes. We have seen a
man under such circumstances, with
large beads of perspiration standing on
his forehead, though the thermometer
showed but thir y degrees above zero.
This same man had been waiting all his
life Micawber-like, for something to turn
up: and we found him still waiting, and
he will continue to wait. 30 it 10 with
half the world. They are waiting, wait
ing for something to turn up-and why
are they waiting! Simply becausethey
don't take time by the forelock, don't
provide ahead, don't buy an umbrella in
fair weather and provide for rainy days
The true business man never has to
wait. He is always ahead with his bus
iness- He never lets his business get
ahead of him.

in a while will git leetle drunk and

he will be captain ov his household; but
the old woman soon takes the glory out

SINGULAR MARRIAGE 1NcIDENT.-H
Homaa That Wouidnf.-The York
(Pa.) correspondent of the Baltimore
Sun relates the following incident
On Sunday last as Rev. Mr. Garman,
of the United Brethren church was
conducting the services at the Union
church at Yocumtown, York county,
the sexton handed him a note. After
the sermon was completed the minister
announced he had the PLEASURE of stat
ing that couple in the congregation
desired to he united in the holy bonds
of matrimony, aud that the candidates
should Immediately present themselves.
There was considerable futter in the
assemblage-every eye was staring
around to see the happy couple come
marching up the aisle to the altar. The
reverend gentleman Immediately pro
ceeded with the ceremony, and the
groom answered promptly, "les, l
Will" but to the dismay and astonish-
ment of the Clergyman and audience,
when it came to the brides turn, she
answered just as promptly, "No, / will
not" and smilingly left the church all
alone, leaving the half married man in a
quandary what to do. ''Such is life.

Do what you can in every way to re-
lieve pecuniary distress, to check the

LINCOLN ANp THE FRlESDLEss NAN.
"A very pretty, and at the same time
characteristic, anecdote Of Paesidel t
Lincoln is given in recen, number OF
the New York Ledger. Ii was during
the time that General Mcclellan was de-
veloping his policy Of mastery inactiv-
ity on the Potomac. The President
dropped into Secretary Staunions office,
one morning, and seated himself at
table on which were a number of peti-
tions for appointment to an important
position recently vacated, and after
looking at one or two of the formidable
documents, blistling with influential
names, asked the Secretary if he had Sc
lected n man for the post. Mr. Staun-
ton replied that he had not that no
found it very difficult to do so on ac-
count of the numerous persons who
would be offended at an adverse ap-
pointment, and he was anxious at that
particular time to retain the friendship
of all. The President continued TO
look over the petitions, aud near the

And how simple he asks tor the siiua-

you know the man ? The Secretary
looked at the paper aud said he lid, and
recalled to the President mind young
man VINO had been introduced to him,
with his mother, the night before, and
in reply to another question said he
thought him qualified for tie position.
Then" said Mr. Lincoln, Gas he seems

MAJOR /. GREENE.-An article hav-
ing appeared in the October number OF
the Southern Magazine, upon the sub
iect of the John Brown Raid in which
the writer failed to take any notice OF
the part of Major /. Greene, OF Berry
willie, played in that historical scene
Captain VIM. n. Nelson, OF Clarke
county, sent the following communica-
ton TO the editor of the Southern Mag
azine, correcting the inaccurities OF the
writer referred to-:
Editor Southern Magazine "A
friend calls my attention to a statement
in the October number Of the magazine,
page 446, which is incorrect, and does
Injustice to gallant friend OF mine. 1t
was and is so notorious that MAJOR lsra-
el Greene was the lieutenant of marines
who captured John Brown IN the en-
gine house in Harpers Ferry, that 1t Is
impossible to understand how an ac-
count could be given of that affair with
out any mention of his name. do not
now recollect to have heard Of the name
of Lieutenant Stuart in connection with
it. Whoever may have called on
Brown to surrender, Major Greene led
the attacking party. / have frequently
spoken with him on the subject, and his
account-reticently and modestly given
was, not that the door was battered
down 10y the ladders in the hands OF the
assaulting party, but that hole was
made in the door, probably panel bro
ken in, through which he Immediately
forced his way into the engine house;
he struck Brown on the head with his
dress-sword, inficting wound not very
severe, when Brown surrendered with
out further resistance. This corresponds
with the account current at the time,
and long before / knew Major Greene.
Major Greene lost everything by the
subsequent and better organized inva-
sion of Virginia when heleft the United
States Marines for service in the Confed-
eracv. and the credit Of his gallant con-
duct at the Ferry should not be taken
from him. VIM n. NELSON.
