Congressman Rapier of Alabama is out in
confession. Having secured denomination
he acknowledges that the price paid was a
written agreement to vote against the Jim
peaohment of Judge Busted. This candor is
worthy of all praise; but it is now in order

declare whether man who would, under any
circumstances, sign such pledge is fit to rep
resent them in Congress.

eclipse at the Martha's Vineyard Camp-meet-

scenes of the camp-meeting on this occasion
as well as on days devoted to subjects more
strictly in accord with the spirit of such gath
erings are pleasantly described on our first

Tor Marshall oazainc's escape from the
