fray with more than usual energy
and force, contending that the state
of the Treasury would not permit of
this heavy expenditure, that the
faith of the government had never
been pledged to it, that the plan
had been changed, and that it was
a very inappropriate thing to invite
monarchies to come over here to
help us celebrate the downfall Of
monarchy.
Mr.. Cain of G. S., thought the ex-
penditure of this sum Of money
would make business good, but as
the friends of the measure had ar
gued that it amounted to only sew.
en- cents per head of the population,
1t certainly could not make bust
ness good for more than twenty
minutes; a consideration which rails
es Cain with that argument, we i'm
agine.
Joe Hawley hauled Dawes over
the Goals for some his statements,
and was especially sarcastic upon
him, for always declaring the Treas
ury bankrupt, upon every occasion.
"This" said joe sis not true" which
remark sounded rather flat-footed
to be thrust in The face Of a Chair:
man of Ways AID Means, and it was
hardly fair in Connecticut, as Haw-
ley himself has played on the same
harp quite frequently. Another
point on Dawes was that Massachu-
sets had the management of the
Treasury-Richardson Secretary,
Sanborn Contractor, Dawes head
OF Ways and Means-and if the
Treasury was bankrupt, it was the
fault Of Dawes, SO between the al
ternatives of untruth and misman-
agemcnt, the head Of the Chairman
of Ways and Means was rather
placed in chancery, and Connect
cut scored one on this round.
The vote on engrossment stood
aye 90, no 1873, which was unex-
pectedly large against the bill, Mr.
Hale made motion to reconsider,
and TO lay the motion on the table,
but the House changed its opinion
and refused to lay on the table.
What caused the sudden change is
not known at present writing.
One ofthe events of the time here
has been the wedding Of Miss Stew

rimony and the papers not make
much ado about it, but Mr.. Stewart
is wealthy, and lives in a castle,
and has good things to set before
the Jenkinses to eat and drink, and
hence there is noise and u fiutter,
and a movement of carriages, and
display of liveries, much white
glove, tendency to wear satin and
all that sort of thing-all of which is
duly chronicled in the journals, and
read with cagerness by all. tits SO
vastly important to know that
Miss Smith and not Miss Brown
was a bridesmaid, especially as
no one knows either Miss
Smith or Miss Brown, and
how much her dress cost, and where
it was purchased, and how it was
trimmed, and what the bride wore,
and so on, that all the particulars
have to be given in detail: but this
is not the fault of Stewart who is a
well to do gentleman and spends
his fortune to suit himself and gives
work to the people who need en-

Il Co. Stewards house excites near
ly as much curiosity as the Wash
ington Monument, although it is
completed and in use according to
the original intention. The White
House is about half way between
the Capitol and Stewards, but it is
the other Nevada Senator and not
Stewart who is supposed to be half
way to the White House.
