Judge Poland, the Chairman Of one OF the
committees, on the bribery charges, made againti
Msssrs. Cakes Ames James Brooks, Collar, Will
sou, Dawes, Patterson, Kelley, Sehofeld and
Binghman, submitted-th report Of the Committee
10 the House ON Tuesday. 1t recommends the
expulsion of oakes Ames aud james Brooks.
These men are t. be made the scspegOats for the
balance of the Offending Congressmcu, should
thu House adopt the report of the Committee,
which is not certiin at this writing. 1t is said
that BEN Butler will make strong effort to defeat
the report and move that At be amended to expel
all the members who are known to have been
brbed.
Brooks and Ames are doubtless liable 10 expnl-
Sion and ought to be punished. But there is no
jattioe in making them the scaPegoAts for the
other members, who are equally guilt.
The report will not satisfy the people. II may
be made to serve the party of which these Con-
gressmen hsve been the foremost leaders; or to
shield the ring of dishonest men who have made
business of taking pay for their legislative in
1nence. For the facts that have trsnspired since
these charges were made against so many men,
bers of Congress, leads to the suPposition that
the influence and votes OF members have been
purchased on various matters. The Sherman
scandal is OF TINS character How many combin-
ations have been formed to keep up the high tariff
rates, and extend the various patents; to say |
nothing Q! ue subsidies and ollims; have been |
questions which the people frequently found |
discussing; and ihis report will fail to meet the
views of the masses. 1t may, however, result in
causing more extended and searching investiga-
on, end thus lead to valuable results in tSe future
If the members Of Congress are permitted to
make merchandise Of their votes and influence,
there viii be safety in the future. For the
large corporations and immense business firms
will be able to crush out every effort that does not
meet their interests Aud immense firms will be
formed with this object in view.

WILL STOKES BE HANGED y-It is now proba-
ble that the punishment of Stokes will not be as
thorough as ii should be, and he may escape

hanged he will so to prison for long term. The
crime Of murder will, therefore, not 60 entirely
free. Stokes forfeited his Life in shooting Fisk,
and there should be no revocation Of the sentence
But the lawyers have worked very hard at his
case and 1t now rests with the Supreme Court
The prisoners counsel made an application for a
new trial to the judge before whom the prisoner
was tried. This was refused by that excellent
magistrate Then an application was made to
one of the judges Of the Supreme Court, who or
ders the first judge 10 send up the papars that he
may review the case. II hc differs with the first
judge, then the Court of Appeals must decide be-

JOAQUIN Miller on Statuarv

From a private letter from Rome, dated
November I'd. we CLEAN the following account
of a curious interview between two noted per-
sonages:
Joaquin Miller, the Oregon poet, was here
yesterday, and requested friend to present
him to Miss Hosmer, the sculptor. The inter-
view was thus described to me: When the
studio was reached Miss Hosmer appeared on
tie threshold to receive her guests After the
presentation. without making the usual salu-
tations, Miller stopped short and, in his pc
culiar manner, examined curiously his host
ess, and then blurted, "Hosmer like your
eye."
The circuit of the studio was then begun.
Miller had but little to say until the party ap-
preached fine statue around the base of
which were two serpents, twined around one
another. These he regarded intently, excl.in,-
ing, "Hosmer, Pm savage. l don't know
much about your beautiful forms and figures,
but do know what a serpent is like ; and dern
me if they amt the best l ever saw''
The last statue was some beautiful ideal af-
fair of Miss Hosmer. This seemed to attract
the poet immensely, for after long stare he
calculated, gazing upon the marble. "Hosmer
you're great manf' 1t is needless to saw
that our gifted countrywoman prizes highly
the rough but sincere and complimentary
criticism.

PAINTERS REvENGE.-In the Princess
Lichstenstein's late work, "Holland House,"
curious anecdote is told of one of Hogarth's
pictures. A robleman refused to pay for
portrait he had ordered, and the artist, being
in want of money, informed him that if he
did not do so in three days he would add to
it tail and other appendages, and sell it to
Mr.. Hore, the famous wild beast exhibitor.
A similar threat was executed, sixty years
ago, by painter named Du Bost, who, fail
ing TO extract an enormous price for picture
of Mr.. and Mrs. Hope, showed it in Pail Mall
as ''Beauty and the Beast" which so enraged
the lady's brother that he cut it in pieces.
The case was tried before Lord Ellenborough,
who decided that the picture being libel,
the plaintiff could only recover for the loss OF
the paint and canvas. Something of this
kind is related by Senior CASTELAR, in "Old
Rome and New Italy," Biagio, master of
the ceremonies to Paul I'LL, offended Michael
Angelo by imploring him to drape his figures.
As punishment tor his want of taste, the
artist painted him with the ears of an ass in
the depths of hell. The master of the cere-
monies ran to complain to Paul III of the in
suit put on his respectable person. 81 be-
seech your holiness to take me cut of that, !"
he cried. ''But where has he placed thee? ?"
demanded the pontif. ''In hell, your holi-
ness, in hell!' replied Biaeio, sobbing. "If
thou hadst been in purgatory," said the pope,
81 would have removed thee; but have no
authority whatever in hell"

FORCE OF HABIT STRONG IN DEATH
The friends of an old sport hit upon the
following expedient of efiecting his reforma-
tion. Having couple of cofiins prepared
and placed in the family vault, on his being
brought home one night in a senseless con-
dition, they conveyed him thither and slowed
him snugly away in one of them, member
OF the family taking possession o. the other
to watch his movements. After remaining
for some time eneased in his "prison house,"
he aroused from his stupor, and in his aston
ishment at his new residence, exclaimed:
''Am / deadp'
Certainly" rejoned his sepulchral friend.
'How long have been here?' he asked.
about three years." was the answer
''And how long have you been here ?'' he
again inquired.
''Seveu years." responded his companion.
''Well, as you have been dead longer than 1
have. suppose you know the best place
where spook can get something to drink.
