he "fclt sorry for him." Mr.. Starkweather
fux rather than fuency describes his
speech; and in the rapidity Of his
utterance it is not perhaps strange that
he should partially forget the truth, or that
he should lay hold on the nearest falsehoods
to his hand and weave them into the some
what muddy torrent of his invective. He is
a man who would not deliberately invent lie
even to carry an election; that is to say. not
large and bad lie that might be found out
but he is the sort of man who, in the warmth
of what he might call forensic effort, IL he
saw fasehood lying around handy that suited
his purpose, would scarcely send out for affi-
davits to fortify himself with before using it.
When Mr.. Starkweather begins a speech be is
fierce and eager; he sets his teeth into the
English language with that degree Of vigor
that man who cannot hear it rip four blocks
off is uncOmmOnly deaf.
SO when, last Monday evening Mr.. Stark
weather. in the course of his remarks upon
the amendment to the Tariff bill taxing
brokers' sales netwentieth of one per cent, said
the measure was only opposed by papers that
were owned by stock gamblers. and then, in
reply 10 question:, saiu Iuo maUoihy VI '"o
stock of THE NEw-YoRK TRIBUNE is
owned by Jay Gould, he meant well
doubtless, but he told a lie; not an
original lie to be sure, but one that happened
to be handy. Mr.. Starkweather is tho more
excusable for this falsehOOd because the
brokers' tax which he was advocating was a
measure upon which he had concentrated his
craftsmanship, and he was quite fond of 1T;
it was his amendment. When it is remem-
bered that it was his chicken and his only
one, and that the press, toward which he
holds grudge. had opposed it-and then
when we consider the mans capacity and the
easy reach in which the falsehOod lay, why
really we have not the heart to blame him.
Only this. Mr.. Starkweather sometimes
finds trouble 10 raising money to carry his
district and the probability is he will need
more than ever the next time he is candidate.
We have simply to say to Mr.. Starkweather
that if his statement in the House is not an
unqualified lie, without syllable of evidence
to sustain it, THE TRIBUNE will pay all his cleo
ton expenses next Spring, so that he need not
90 to any Ring for money to be raised with
"out publicity" 1t should be stated that Mr..
Starkweather's principal grievance against the
| press is that it circulates ISLANDERS without
taking the trouble to verify them. Possibly
he can verify this. He can make it quite profit
| able by doing so.
New-York tribune., 1874-06-24
so EASY TO LIE.

Mr. Starkweather of Connecticut is an ebul-
lient person largely liable to what worldly
people call "sopping over" He has been in
his time considerably addicted to running for
Office, and being well located politically has so
far made very good thing of it. 1t was he
who informed Mr.. Huntington .of the Wash
ington Ring in 1871 that he expected hard
contest in his dstrict-the district having
been for twenty years so overwhelmingly Re-
publican as hardly to be seriously contested
by the DemOcrats-and requested Mr.. Hunt
ington to raise money for him "with-
"out publicity" to assist in carrying the
election. Mr.. Starkweather was at that
time Chairman of the Committee on the
District of Columbia, his law partner was
Clerk of the Committee, and some of his
Windham County constituents had contracts
in tho Washington Improvements. Mr.. Hunt
ington was connected with the Washington
Ring. Mr.. Starkweather In an explanation of
his relations with the Ring, published in his
home organ, which had the effect to confuse
the mind of the ordinary Investigator with
quantity Of mixed and heterogeneous details,
stated that at the time he asked Huntington
for money, to be raised without publicity"
the District Government had not been organ.
lied or the Ring formed. Also, that he did
not get any money.
1t was Mr.. Starkweather who, Just before the
Huntington letter was discovered, expressed
himself very freely regarding the mischievous
course of the Administration press of COnnec-
ticut. At meeting of the Republican State
Committee in New Haven, to which were
invited prominent men in the party and the
conductors of Administration journals, he bore
down with degree Of craftsmanship that was
hardly surpassed by Mr.. Buffers apostrophe to
the forty jackass power" upon prominent
Administration journals, remarking that the
Republican newspapers, one of which was Gen.
Hawley's, were doing more mischief than
all the Democratic papers in the State by crit
icisng tho Administration. Mr.. Starkweather
doubtless meant well. 1t was only bad case
OF stopping over. The editor of leading
journal, who afterward observed that "he
"made an ass Of himself" was undoubtedly
prejudiced. That was carrying it too far.
The impression made upon the audience was
probably moro accurately described by

SHEPHERD AND GRANT

1t is hard to predict whether the country
will be more outraged or amused by the pre-
posterous nomination which the President
yesterday sent to the Senate. 1t is the most
indecent as well as the most characteristic
thing he has done in great while, and it is
to be feared that people will lose sight of it's
indecency, IN view of its absurd congruty as

dIONE TIE SHORE.

The Congress which bowed itself out yes
terday afternoon, the session expiring very
much as did the late Mr.. Higgins, of whom
his afflicted widow said "he somehow did MT
"seem to die calmly. but sorter slOshed round
"lke, and wore out two pair of sheets before
"he breathed his last has made something of
| q record for itself as body and for its men,
bers individually. One of Sherman's bummers,
who was observed by landed proprietor
going away from hen-cOOp fluttering all
over with surreptitious poultry, was asked by
| the proprietor, who was diligent searcher
| after truth, what he~was doing. The hummer,
who was too able-bodied to be confused and
| too much a patriot to be staggered by
any ordinary conundrum, unhesitatingly re-
sponded Making history" This Congress
has been making history too. Somewhat in a
| blacksmith fashion-with much heating and
hammerng and no small quantity of blowing
and striking, and perhaps trihe of smut
still, history. Along the shores of the six
months of its high career are scattered the
wrecks of several hopeful regulations and
ambitious prospects, together with the mangled
and bleeding remains of several sweet little
| reforms of which much was expected by o
sanguine people.
OF the things it promised to do and did not,
as well as those it promised not to do and
did. we have spoken heretofore. Besides these
il has unmade several distinguished persons,
though it has made scarcely any. The last
Congress was uncommonly successful in re-
moving prominent persons, statesmen and
SUCH from the public gaze. The procession of
great names that passed out of the Capitol in
March, 1873, with great deal of stationery
and profound contempt for the press Of the
country is freshly remembered, though they are
far from being cOnspicOus to the public eye.
No need to name them. Nothing in all their
public life so became them as the leaving it,
Nothing of them will be remembered so long
as the dramatic way in which, with the remark
that if this was the way public servants were
treated, they'd have no more of public life,
they shOuldered their sins and went out. But
large as were the successes of the last Con-
eress in removing leading statesmen from the
! public eye, we suspect that this first session
of the XLIIId Congress has swept away even
more of them, though not perhaps to so COM
plete an obscurity.
No Congress ever opened with such grand
opportunities for the exhibition Of statesman
ship and TIE development of the qualities of
leadership As many men stood ready to seize
them as there were militia generals in 1851 to
step into the command of the army and put
down tho Rebellion in sixty days. Perhaps it
is not too much to say that this session Of
Congress has been as destructive Of the repu-
tations of would-be great statesmen as the
first two years of the war were of the reputa-
tions of would-be great Generals. The ques-
tions Of finance invited all the highest
qualities Of statesmansLip: wide Vbser-

We print to-day on our second page the
first letter from our correspondent with the
Black Hills expedition. who last year, with
the Yellowstone expedition, furnished TRIBUNE
readers with a description of serious en-
counter with the Indians in advance of our
cotemporaries, and lOny before the War De-
partment had anv knowledge of the occur
renee. This years expedition, although of
ample strength. is not so large as that of 1873.
It is designed to penetrate region hitherto
inaccessible to white men. and except by
Indian legend, utterly unknown. The sole
object is exploration, this being the only
remaining portion of our territory of which
tho main features are quite undetermined. 1t
is not by any means certain that the force will
not encounter active hostility from the
sayages who have hitherto guarded so jeal-
ously their domain; recent civilian expedi-
ton in that direction retired after several days
hard fighting without penetrating even the
outskirts. The letter gives an entertaining
account of some of the incidents of savage
life, along with details of the plans and or
ganizaton of the expedition, which is under
the command of Gen. Custer, the noted cav
airy leader.

1t would be great mistake to underrate
the significance of the action Of the earnest
temperance men, who in two Conventions
yesterday, in this State, made vehement
declarations of their political faith. The one
insists on a State ticket of its own, and puts
it in nomination; the other contents itself with
still hoping to work for temperance inside
the Republican party, but protesting in ad-
vance against the denomination Of Gov. Dix.
Neither had any large element of men skilled
in shaping politics to aid in the adoption of
its measures; and the practical politicians
are therefore quite likely to consider both as
Of little consequence. But party lines are
not tightly drawn nowadays. There has
been an unusual revival of interest
in the temperance movement, and while
