a MESS o. pGTTAGE.

When the unfortunate divisions OF
om last Tennessee campaign resulted
in sending q Congress large majority
OF Republicans. including the member
from It's district. some optimists
urged that it would rebound to our
material benefit. They argued that
We could gain no favors IN Washington
by sending there a Democratic delega-
ton. but now that we had Congress
men in accord with the ruling power,
the Nashville and Memphis Custom
houses would be built forthwith, and
the Cumberland and Tennessee rivers
improved instanter The argument
was an Ignoble one, because Tennes-
scans ask no favors. but merely claim
what their needs and those Of the gov
ermment itself demand. But now,
how chop-fallen are these Elusive
hopes, The Senate Committee refuses
To consider any appropriations for new
public buildings, and the items for
river improvements have been cut down
numerically. The Nashville Custom
house and the Cumberland VIII remain
IN statu QUO. So far rs this overwheim-
inglv Radical Congress Is concerned.
Those who sold their convictions for a
mess of pottage are disappointed as
usual.

THE lame manner IN which the Eir-
s,inius surrendered to the Spanish Tor
nado. without a show Of fight, was q
surprise at the time. 1t was asserted
that the flibusters. during the chase,
threw overheard all arms, munitions
and Other. contraband of war; and the
presumption wast that with 4 clean deck,
and clearance papers signed by United
States officials, they argIRd that the
Spaniard would but search them, and
finding nothing. would release them at
once-that IN short they We're the vic
TINS Of & misplaced confidence. There
Is a possibility that this point may yet
be cleared up. The Near York Free
mans Journal says the papers Of Capt.
Fry have been preserved, are now in
the hands Of friends, and may soon be
given To the public. One Of these, 1t is
said. shows that he was urged by lead
ing ilibusters TO blow up the Yirginius
when escape was hopeless. His an
swer was: There area great many men
on board who have immortal souls, and
t~l.l .rl,. moi ready for death. l cannot
take the responsibility Of putting an
end to their lives, without opportunity
for them 10 prepare for such a thing. :"
