Col. Forney. in a late number OF bic
Washington "reminiscences, relates one
concerning the late Senator Davis Of
this State, and Pomeroy, Of Kansas.
While the vote on come bill OF little
importance was being taken. the clerk
called the name OF the Kentucky Sem
stor, who WAS sitting with closed eyes
at bis desk. apparently asleep A
friend nudged him, saying. "Mr. Davis,
your name is called Mr.. Davis arose
and remarked that be would
like to know if there was any stealsge
in the bill Senator Pomeroy smiled
blandly and said that he mad examined
It carefully, and il there was any steal-
age in it he had not been able to Hnd it.
Mr.. Davis thereupon observed that he
was satisfied there was no s'eslage in
the bill, if the Senator from Kansas had
not been able to find it, Whether "Oid
subsidy" appreciated the equivocal
compliment and pad to him we are not
told, but the country is satisfied
that the caustic reioiuder OF
Senator whose spotless integ-
rity and purity OF character were
admired my toes as we'll as friends
was not too severe. Unfortunately y
ror the people the remark Ia quite as
applicable to great many members
OF Congress besides Pomeroy. Elected
to office sometimes by the power Of
cant, sometimes by the power OF money,
sometimes, as in Pomeroy's case, BY q
plentiful use of both, their whole
official career shows an absence not
only OF honesty but even Of q
manly ambition. From first to last they
have been on the hunt for "stealage,"
aud they are as true to that one idea
as the needle to the pole. II the people
are not thoroughly ashamed Of sending
such groveling. low minded Dbbers to
Congress it is high time they should be-.
II we can not nave rulers OF immscu-
late virtue, as least let US elect men who
are actusted by a decent ambition
