THE ESSENCE: OF N4LIGNITY


The desperate malignity with which the
self-constituted prosecutors Of the District
government pursw, their work is strikingly
illustrated by the Tribune dispatches and
editorials on the appointment of Senator
Stewart to the Inv, stigat'ng Committee.
Not only is Senator Sscwars insulted and
denounced before he has taken his seat, but
Senator Carpenter, Prcsiden pro TEN. Of
the Senate, is accused of personal corrup-
ton because he appointed him. Now. it
so happens that Mr.. Carpenter did with Mr..
Stewart precisely what he did with Mr..
Boutwell,. There was the same parliament
tary reason for Directing to the designation
Of Mr.. Boutwell, as chairman that has been
made to such designation of Mr.. Stewart.
But the s!anderers never thought of that,
as they supposed Mr.. Boutwell, would lend
a willing ear to their lies-only to find
themselves mistaken, if they had tried it..
These young men. who seem to be trying
to earn the reputation of being the most
notorious liars that ever wrote for a news
paper, jumped at a chance to abuse Mr..
Carpenter, because they remember his
lashings when they set themselves up as
higher power than the Senate, and refused
to obey one of its committees. If the prece-
dent they then set should be followed by
anybody in this investigation we shall then
see what these fellows will have to say
about it.
There is already one good result flowing
from this malignant lying in regard to mat
tiers connected with the investigation.
Members of Congress in both Houses can
see and Judge for themselves on q matter
that is going on under their own eyes.
And there are already many severe denun-
Citations of the infamous course that is being
pursued. One member remarked yester-
day that he should suppose, from the iden-
tity of what he saw in the Tribune and Sun
with what the memorialists said and did
before the committee that the investigation
was to be for the especial purpose Of enabling
those papers to repeat their old lies about
their political opponents. He is right.
The correspondents of these two papers are
the chief aiders and sbettors of the memo
rialists they counsel and confer with them
constantly they suggest, arrange and in
spire, and earn their fees quite as muIh as
the lawyers who expect to be paid. Men,
beers need only watch daily developments to
understand this.

THE XEN0RI1LIsTs ar BAY.


Setting aside the grave legal arguments
made before the District Investigating Com
mittee yesterday, as to the right of the me-
morialists to demand the production Of
strictly private letters and papers. in order
to make up case, the important feature Of
the proceedings was the motion of Mr.. Har-
rington, of the counsel for the District, to
compel the memorialists to present all their
charges with the proof in support thereof
together, with the names of some responsible
party or parties appended to them. To
everybody who has read the columns of the
satanic press during the last twelve months.
who has listened to the declarations of the
gang ofmalcontents and obstructionists, who
have been charging fraud and corruption
here ever since the Inauguration of the new
government the manifest propriety of this
demand upon the part of the District au-
thorities will be at once apparent.
The only charge presented up to the
present time against the District govern
mcnt is that of conspiracy with certain
contractors on the part of the Board of
Public Works. Nobody has subscribed to
it; nobody has dared to father it; nobody
is bold enough to come forward and assert
its truth. The memorialists cover behind
their counsel and make the outrageous de-
mand that the grave shall be made to give
up its secrets; the widow and the orphan
placed upon the stand to sustain the truth
of their allegation. 1t is as clear as the
MONDAY sun that they have no case what
ever. and that to allow this gang of sore
heads to appear before it from day to day
is mere waste of time upon the part of
the committee.
Three months have elapsed since Colum-
bus Alexander and his following appealed
to Congress for an investigation into alleged
grave misdemeanors- in the management of
the District. The Governor has answered
all the questions propounded to>him by the
committee, but the malcontents are not yet
ready-not prepared to present the charges
which an INSCRIPTIONS band Of newspaper
detectives, who live by defamation and
SANDER, have circulated from one end of
the country to the other at the direct insti-
CATION Of these same persons. The whole
thing is becoming ridiculous in the eyes of
every thinking person-its animus is becom-
ing more asd more apparent to the country.
Let the charges and the proof be furnished
forthwith or the obstructionists ruled out Of
court and the consumption of valuable pub
lie time and money put tn an end.

The House yesterday gave evidence of that
injurious economy which would compel q re-
duction in the salaries awarded the minor Off
Gals Of the Government. The legislative bill
being under consideration, those gentlemen who
crave notoriety for an economical tendency at
tempted to lower the pay of the Capitol en-
ployees to the standard fixed by law prior to
1866. This proposition met with considerable
support ffom several gentlemen who favored
the back-pay law of the last Congress, but
failed of approval when submitted to the en-
tire body. It was noticeable that while the
time was consumed in movements for reduc-
ton of only couple of hundred dollars, no
one proposed return ON the part Of members
to the yearly allowance Of $500. The con-
tinued efforts of . few men TO secure renown
Is petty reformers contributed, in great de-
gree, to destroy the business Of the day, and
eventually brought the session to termina-
ton, q quorum not remaining to listen to the
trivial advances toward economy.

Gzx. HAwIsY's paper, the Hartford coxr-
ant, alluding to an expression Of opinion BY this
Journal regarding the repeal Of the lawwAich
authorized the Sanborn contracts, makes .
most unfeeling and uncsllod-for reference to
Gen. Butler's inHrmity OF yis'op, which
nothing short Of great personal provocation
could justify. OF sourse, It is not supposed,
for moment, that Gov. Hawley either insti-
gated or knew Of such an ungentlemanly and
ill-bred allusion. II he expects fair criticism
from the press upon his course in Congress, II
would be well enough for him to see that his
own journal accords the same to his fellow
members. Unkind personal slurs win hardly
be taken by An intelligent reading public as q
refutation of sound argument. s. ID .asissl .s.

TENNESSEE woMAN's ADVENTURE WITH AL
ADDER-How SHE WAS ATTACKED AND HOW
4 SHE CONQUERED.
The Springfield, Tenn, Record, gives the
following authentic account of a strange &C.
currence in that state; On Saturday, May
2, Mrs. Eliza Wilson, wife of Andrew vii.
son, who lives some four miles from Cooper
town, and daughter of Robert Head, ESQ.,,
all Of Robertson county, stepped outside the
yard into the edge of grove to get a tooth
brush, and while in the act of breaking
twig she felt something move about her
right foot. She stopped forward to see what
1t was, when large, spreading adder struck
her in the breast, fastening his fangs In the
bosom of her dress. It then dropped back,
and, 70 her horror, she found she was on the
reptile, near its tail. Her first impulse was
to run, but she discovered that the monster
was coiling himself around her ankle. She
stopped, and with great presence Of mind
seized the only opportune moment offered,
that OF putting her left foot upon his head,
which she did, fastening him securely to the
ground. There she stood, all alone, with
one foot on the reptiles head, while nearly
his whole length-about three feet-was
tightly wrapped around her ankle. She
screamed at the top of her voice, but there
was no one near enough to hear her voice
or come to her relief. Her husband was in
-
than o'clock, and having failed to make
any of the neighbors hear her-some of
whom lived within few hundred yards
she stood in suspense, not knowing what to
do or how to act. During her meditations
THOUSANDS OF THOUGHTS
rushed across her mind, and not knowing
but she, in all probability, was bitten; but
after all, so far, she had been victorious
thus encouraged she resorted to the only
alternative life-which was to unwrap him
some ordeal, the rusty monster writing
with great force, unwilling 70 quit his mold.
She fiually succeeded. but another crisis
awaited her. If she let him go he would,
perhaps, recoil himself around her ankle
before she could disengage her foot and es-
cape. If she took her foot off his head while
she held him with her hands he would
more than likely, bite her before she could
release him and escape. With the same
presence of mind and undaunted courage
that had fortified and saved her thus far, she
looked around and saw that she was stand
ing within few feet of small sapling-and
NTH heroic determination, she resolved to
sling his head against it. She made the
effort and succeeded, which stunned him SO
much that he had but little of life remain
| ing; she then took stone and mashed his
head off, and escaped unframed. She reports
his head as appearing as broad as her two
| hands when he struck her In the BOSOM
notwithstanding, she thinks she was not
much alarmed until after she got back into
the yard, when she turned sick. She man.
aged to get into the house and took dose Of
nervous stimulant, which relieved her. Fol
several hours after her hands and arms
seemed to be swollen and of dark color
which made her appresensive that she was
bitten, but finding not the least scratch Oh
them she was soon content.

The death at Pau of Mile. Tostee is ar
nounced in Paris. The lady was brought
to this country by Mr.. Bateman, and with
her aid opera bouffe and Ofenbach were
first introduced to our public. In the
"Grande Duchesse" and ola Belle Helene'
Tostee was specially successful. She was
an Indifferent singer, but her animation and
verve served to carry her through, and she
certainly gave much pleasure to the crowds
who so promptly took u fancy to the light
melodies and the broad action involved in
opera bouffe. Tostee's successors here in
her line of art were Rose Bell, Irma. Des-
clauzas, Montalsnd and Aimee; but Tostee
led the list and will be easiest remembered.
