Special telegram to the st. Louis Republican.
WASHINGTON, d., G, Jan. q. 1t has
taken the facts telegraphed to the RepUb-
LcGH on the night Of December 20, con
corning the manner of Pinchback's eIec-
ton to the Senate, precisely one month to
reach that honorable body and take effect,
which effect comes in the shape Of Nor
tons resolution, sent last night in the reg
ular report, asking power to send for per-
sons and papers and to investigate these
facts, which were communicated to your
correspondent by Gen. Geo. Sheridan, and
Gov. Warmoth and were subsequently laid
before the President, and resulted in ex-
citing his profound disgust, finally moving
him to the determination he has lately ex-
pressed to relieve the Republican party, or
at least his administration, from its griev-
Gus and unbearable burden Of Southern
rpet-baggery. The'same facts were. at
a late date, laid down before Senator Nor
ton, also, but he at first seemed disposed
to ignore them, and insist that the election
of Pinchback had been regular in form,
and his credentials prinea fdcie, that he
was entitled to admission, but without pref
udice to the right of the Senate to inyesti-
gate subsequently, any charges that might
demand inquiry. This position Of Senator
Morton, as was telegraphed at the time,
was based upon his theory of the legality
of the Kellogg government, he holding
that the admission of Pinchback must be
regarded as party measure, and sustain
ed as such, inasmuch as it was the first
test case of the legality Of the Kellogg

RELIEF FOR TAE AFFLICTED.-Diseases of a pc
culiar nature require more than ordinary care and
attention, by a skllful and well educated physician
There are great number of pretenders to physical
science, who gull the unwary. who issue long ad-
vertisements, and bring pretended testimonials
from all parts of the world as to their wonderful
knowledge, but who, when tested by person of
ordinary good common sense. are found to be un-
acquainted with almost the first principles OF med1
cal science, and ignorant of the very names of GER
tain parts of the human system, as experimental
and expressed by the medical world such men
abound in Chicago and who take TO refer to
distant places for medical character, instead of
here, where the cheat could be detected.
DIR. Bi5elow is not of this class He is a regular
bred physician. His reputation IS best known here
in our midst He wants no distant references, but

needs such service, it is Of the utmost importance

REMARKS By THE ARGUS.

The article above, signed SC, " is COM
plete answer to the sophistry that the pillow
makers cannot do business without their
present system of agency, and it takes the
very same ground taken by this paper i'm
mediately after the publication of the pillow
makers resolution not to sell to Farmers
Clubs, in large quantities, or any quantity,
at less than retail prices.
We wish now to add one word more, as
to the enhanced price the farmers are COM
PEELED to pay. We believe 1t to be mostly
in consequence of the system of agencies
which the pillow makers persist in main
tanning, and that they might make equally
as much money for themselves to dispense
with these agencies.
Then look at how the price has gone up,
and read what Il S. - says of the English
pillow.
One of the most intelligent clear headed
farmers in this county, Lewis Wilson, Esq.
Of Rural was discussing this matter in our
Office the other day and he asserted posi-
lively that when he came to Illinois, in
1851, more than 20 years ago, he bought
precisely as good plows for $40 as he is
now compelled to pay $25 for. The result
of the pillow makers action will be-more
pillow shops under the management of men
who are not, by monopoly, seeking to con-
troll the farmers as to their purchases. 1t
seems very clear that the farmers will
seek some way to rid themselves of paying
nearly one half the value Of pow to an
agency which is not necessary and can be
avni1nI

mess has several times called me out among
the Western farmers, giving me GOOD
opportunity to examine into the excellence
and perfection of plows. There may De
some slight advantages in the metal and
materials now used, but no important inn
movements in the shape or form Of the
nlows have been made since they first came
under my notice, more than twenty years
since 1t was at an extensive trial OF pioWs
in England. open to all nations, where the
light construction and high finish of those
from America attracted great attention.
The plows were all made to cut the same
width and depth of furrow, each one be-
ing attached, in its turn, to the same dyna-
mometer. The pillow that took the first
prize made good work, and indicated about
| half the power that was taken to draw the
American pillow, the work Of which appear
ed more like shoveling the earth up in
heaps than blowing. | was then very
young in the trade; but, by paying strict
attention to the principles there illustrated,
| was soon engaged, in the old country, in
manufacturing plows by thousands, that
are now successfully in use in nearly every
part of the civilized world These plows
cut uniform width and depth of furrow,
and are so steady in hand that mere child
can guide them. They are applicable tC
any kinds Of soil, and, in many parts of the
tropical zone, they are worked night and
day, in order to get in the crops before the
extreme drought comes on.
Many of your readers will say, How is it
that these plows have never been intro
duced into these parts ? say, For the
very reason Illustrated by Mr.. Deere. The
farmers have been single handed, most OF
them beginning with very limited means
They have had no alternative but to go tC
the middleman, who, owing to the large
profits he is making can afford to give long
credit on just the article he has in stock
for, being an exclusive agent in many in
stances, he is forbidden selling the products
of other makers), and which he is bound
to hold up as the only available article
adapted to the soil. He would hate to see
pillow introduced that would work better
and last ten or fifteen years. 1t would, or
liberal system, pull down his monopoly
which, of course, he tries to prevent at any
cost. Hence the reason why there is M
progress in plows and this is one of the
great evils the farmer has to complain of
| would say to the Changers: Yours is {
noble cause, and you must push on with ;
determination to hold it up in its infancy
With due care and caution, it will rapidly
grow to prodigious strength and power
such as no outside opposition can with
stand. i. ).

Heavy PAY FOE Dome NOTHING .-There
are times when it seems almost Impossible
TO imagine how the British people can sub
nit to the outrageous imposition upon them
of burdens which they ought not to be ex-
pectei to carry. The bovine nation has all
the patience and endurance OF the OK. ana
according to indications will lie down under
its burdens and die with its heavy yoke on
rather than to make vigorous kick against
the abuses put upon it by Its system oil
privileged arstocracy. There is some show
of an excuse for the lavish expenditure OF
wealth upon the ruling family, and IN the
comforting of perpetual legislative power
upon class born to wealth AMI supposed
to be trained for governing and legislating,
But there are some things IN the pollty OF
Great Britain, involving expenditures oil
the money raised from the people by taxa
tiCn, that have no excuse whatever. Such.
for instance, is the case OF clergyman
named Thurlow, now living, who IN the 6o
years Of his life has received from the taxes
imposed upon his countrymen the sum, to
put it in round figures. of 50 1900, 900. Tor
which he has rendered absolutely no service
in return, his whole claim to it being that
he happened to have bishop, rich one at
that, for his father. and Lord Chancellor
for an uncle The pretexts under which
this vast sum has been paid to the reverend
idle bones are as follows lie was the hold
er of three sinecure offices, to which he was
appointed in his bOyhOod, one oil
the offices in deed having been CON
ferred upon him before he had got through
with his cradle. In 1882 his sinecure office
as " Patentee of Bankrupts' was abolished
and he was given a pension OF S36 900 per
year. Another sinecure, that OF " Hanaper
Keeper keeper of the waste-paper bas-
ket was abolished in 1852 and pension
of about $50 900 per year made the loss OF
it good The third sinecurc, which was
| that of " Prothonotary of the County
/ Palatine of Durham" abolished in 1872.
was replaced by pension Of about 5000
| per year So a sum very nearly approx
mating 500, 900 year have for over score
/ of years been paid by that patient OK, the
| British people, to a man who for more than
/ a score of years has not made even pre-
! tence Of earning it,whilc in fees and emolu-
ments. together with the pensions named
they have paid him, as before stated, the
sum OF IS. 300, 900 and over in 66 years
| There Is something in this that compelS IN
| dignatiOn. 1t is none of our business, to be
sure, as we pay no taxes over there. But
we can help feeling. when seeing a foo
imposed upon, that it would be 4 good
thing to kick the knave for imposing upon
| him, and then to blow up the fool Tor being
such fool as to be 50 thoroughly imposed
/ upon.
