approaching session Of Congress. VIC
arc satisfied from what we can learn
that the repeal Of the bill fixing Con.

Notwithstanding all that, the people
are for its repeal and We believe the
people will have their way IN the end.

Iosie Mansfield In a Pittsburgh Jail.

About one o'clock this morning an
officer, patroling his beat, near the
corner OF High and Wylie streets,
observed a richly-dressed and. elegant
looking woman staggering along In q
state Of beastly in%toxication. The
woman was taken In charge, and even
the officer, accustomed to the most
obscene and indecent language, was
Mortified at the TRADE Of filthy epithets
and horrible blasphe,ny In which his
prisoner INDUCED. The woman was
taken to the lookup, and on being
taken before Lieutenant Parker to re-
gister her name, that officer, from see

her presence becoming known, a large
crowd gathered at the morning hear

the charge, fined her 81 %, and, In de-
fault, sent her to jail for 4S hours. She
had lost her money, and Josie Mans

These people had made no provision

In debating the motion. He said he
thought that the sentiment OF the peo-
pie OF the State demanded some action
By the Legislature ; that We had been
