NATIoK, Mass, April %, 1874
MY dedr Col. F0rHey-A friend sent me
the Press, in which find an article mark
ed, giving me the credit for breaking the
deadlock in the legislature and electing
Governor Washburn senator This, | as
sure you, is mistake. This credit is not
mine. No word or act of mine influenced
the action of the legislature. From the
opening of the contest to the close of it |
asked no member to vote for or against any
man.
Dawes had served his state long and
faithfully; he had made a mistake, but |
could not believe he had intended to do
wrong. When his cause was lost so that
his friends saw it, said to four of them
that it would be better for him if they
would at once gracefully withdraw him
and give their votes to Mr.. Hoar, who then
had the largest vote, than to frtter away
his strength that such an act would be
brave and magnanimous win for him and
his friends commentator, and leave him
in the best position. | did this
from sympathy for Mr.. Dawes, but
his friends did not think as | did.
The statement that suggested that Mr..
Adams might be elected by a coalition be-
tween the Hoar men and the democrats Is
without the slightest foundation. | thought
nothing of the kind ! said nothing of the
kind / neither apprehendcd nor feared it,

THE WILL-WITl-Ts

That dull, dim, glimmering light which
we thought, yesterday, that we saw in the
distance, has been rudely cxtinguished
Perhaps it was not a light after all, but
only delusive, deceptive Will-wth-the-
wisp-it, certainly, turns out to have been
an ignis tatuus. We said "if it were done.
when It's done, then twere well, but there
was the trouble. 1t was done, but it didn't
stay done. The House "went back" on its
vote in favor of economy and against
landaulets, and appropriated two thousand
dollars for keeping the said landaulet, the
horses to draw it, and the several etceteras
thereto belonging, in good condition. Thus
are we deprived of seeing Oregon customs
introduced into Washington. Never more
shall we behold an eminent (?) lawyer rid
ing a fifty dollar mule in Washington.
That must now remain a "Reminiscences of
the past, only to be associated with Ken
tucky's great lawyer and soldier, and Davy
Crockett Never more will the head of the
department of justice be compelled to walk
through the streets of Washington Stern
necessity Will not now compel Attorney
General Williams to withdraw five or ten
cent piece from his capacious pocket
book. and Herewith, like Senators
and Representatives, ride in the street
cars Oh no This would be too
much like republican simplicity, an eco
nominal administration of the affairs of the
government, and honest reform. The
House having, so far as is in their power,
provided the law adviser of the govern
ment with horses, carriages, grooms, out.
riders, and all other things necessary, should
now inquire whether that andaulet isn't
getting little out of fashion. Fashion
changes in carriages as well as in ladies
hats. 1t would be almost as bad as riding
on fifty dollar mule, to see the unconfrm-
ed and withdrawn chief justice riding in Il
carriage not in the height of fashion. The
last one only cost eleven hundred dollars,
but what is that sum and the other two
thousand dollars to people out of debt,
using only specie for currency and having
no taxes to pay? Isn't there danger that
there may be a surplus in the treasury UNI
less "style" is kept up in landaulcts? The
people delight in seeing their money cx-
pended in this way, because they are sore
afraid that it may become drug in the
market, or that so much may accumulate
that some one will whisper about corrup-
ton in Washington.

4 Suspicious Looking Hill.

Attention was called in the House YES
tcrday, to what is evidently large job
Some time since Mr. Dunnel of Minnesota
introduced bill to incorporate the "Inter-
national Land and immigration Company"
The bill provides that the company may
take charge of immigrants to this country
at their homes, bringing them to this coun-
try, supply them with homes and money to
start life here, and in general to exercise a
fatherly supervision over foreigners who
may desire to settle in this country. The
bill contains in its list of ncorporators the
names OF gentlemen from all parts of the
country, most of which or all were put in
without their consent, simply for the pur-
pose of floating the bill through Congress.
Mr.. Maynard, OF Tennessee, announced
that the name of eX-Congressman Trimble,
of his state, appeared in the bill without
his consent, and that he wished to have it
withdrawn The speaker said that MANY
similar complaints had come to HIM. The
committee on public lands has agreed to
report the bill in an amended shape which,
the chairman announced, gave il good
character, the original bill being only a
credit foncier arrangement 1t is doubtful
II TIE bill ever passes, as it wears most
suspicious appearance.

LUCIUs u. q. LAMAR AND RE
UNION.

One OF the six Representatives from
Mississippi, in the lower House of Congress
is Lucius @. G. Lamar, representing the
first district lie is q native of Georgia, a
man of education, and thoroughly ident-
ned with the interests of the south Prior
to the rebellion, after having been profess
sor OF mathematics in the state university
OF Georgia, he was n member of the legis-
lature OF that state. Subsequently he re-
moved to Mississippi, from whence he was
elected to, and served in the thirty-ffth
and portion of the thrty-siyth Congresses.
During the session of that last Congress,
the tide of secession and disunion began TO
roll over the south, and Mr. Lamar, fol-
lowing the pernicious political error of the
times, took part with his state rather than
with his country. Holding such sentiments,
he was too honest to retain his seat in Con-
gress, and, therefore, resigned that position
Tor seat in the convention that passed on
the part of Mississippi, the so-called ordi-
nance of secession. When war actually
began, he entered the confederate army"

wards as a colonel. In 1868, jefferson

believe, in New Hampshire, Connecticut and
