can goes for him every day. Senators
think that he ought to rise In the senate
and explain, and they only hold back from
an investigation because he goes out at the
end Of this session. The Chronicle
whines out lame defenses in doleful tones,
and tries TO mako his, the senator's case,
less black by intimsting that IL cost Mr..
Allison three times a. much to be elected
as It cost him, (Harlan), when he was
elected. That only goes to show that Har.
Ian was hard to beat, and that the price Of
votes ranged higher on that account.
Poor Harlan; cant and hypocrisy are no
longer potent, and he presents the show
and pi,iful picture Of religious fraud in
all its deformity.

The Saline county Register has not
much confidence in the veracity Of the
Gallatin Gazette Under the "Old-Time
Items" in which are detailed past events
in the history Of GAllatin county, the Ga.
Eetts' lately published the death warrant
Of Jesus Christ. The Register remarks
in ITS peculiar manner-airy and Of.
handed: "Too thin; it didI't occur in
that county" In this controversy, al.
though We know the Gazette to be one
OF the most truthful papers in the country,
wo are inclined to side with the Regis.

latin county people would, IL they had IN
opportunity, do As the Judeans did. The

WASHINGTON LETTER.
SHARP PRACTICE.


A number Of propositions were
sprung upon the house yes,er-
day and passed. Among them
was Mr.. Polsnd's resolution provid
ing for the payment Of the expenses of
contestants, etc. During the vote on it
Gen. Hawley Of Connecticut, caused quite
\ stir by having the rule read which pro-
hibi,s members from voting on questions
IN which they have . personal interest.
For quite = while there WAS considerable
excitement among the implicated men,
bers-some Withdrawing their votes and
othera explaining their positions. This
indirect slap at certain national bank and
railroad stockholders, who have heretofore
voted squsrely in favor Of measures in
which they are interested, caused \ great
deal OF comment and it was some time be-
fore the speaker could restore order. In
the midst Of the excitement thus occa-
stoned Mr.. Hazleton Of Wisconsin, passed
his bill virtually repeating the bankrupt
act bya vote Of 1879 ayes to 60 noes. He
has long considered the present bankrupt
law rather q protection to rogues than
honest men. The house on second thought,
wss rather startled at its own hasty &C.
ton. The Southern members claim that
the bankrupt law is the sheet anchor in
the financial storm through which the
South 10 passing, and they deeply depre.
cate the action Of the house, but il 10
