New York begins to repent of the genera
sity which has for years supplied the west
with the crude material of it's best growth.
bill is before the legislature looking to
an embargo on the traffic of quarter Of a
century, whereby the west was peopled and
with homeless boys aud girls from the boys
and girls homes of the great metropolis. A
practice of more than twenty years growth
of shipping little orphans to the west
by the load begins to be looked
upon with suspicion. Hundreds OF
these "New York children" as they
are termed, are now distributed over the
western prairies, men and women of the
highest responsibility. A notable case not a
hundred miles of Indianapolis might be adj
duced, of sharp little shaver" brought
from New York city nearly twenty years
ago. The boy fell into good hands and was
himself no dullard. What noole blood runs
in his veins, neither he nor anybody else can
prove But he is now a successful young
lawyer has already been selected by his fellow
citizens, first as a city attorney and secondly
as a prosecuting attorney in the State
of his adoption. Further, such an at

subsisIs between the foster parents and
their ward that, although out of
of his minority he remains under the roof
that gave the friendless lad shelter, I'M
willing to go away. Says the Journal of
Commerce: Hardly day passes that
some man and wife from the west do not
drop in at the offices of the New York insti-
tutions, to look up child to take back
with them as apprentice or for adoption"
But now comes Senator Ledwith, and is
about to propose bill prohibiting the Civ
ing away OF these wards of the state, which
she has picked up out of the slums and
saved. They have value, the proprietary
interest being ia the state. If these young
sters are to grow up into decency and use
fulness, New York is not disposed to bestow
them on the west. Very well; let her Keep
the boys, if she will raise them we'll; they
will come west they of age.

It's not fair to Butler, nor to his "poor
boy" IN let the recent victory pass without
better look at the new eollector-the Butler
protege. Simmons, the confirmed, has but
brief history. Graduating from Boston

undertook to study law bat found the politi-
cal arena more attractive for one of his pc
culisr gifts. 1t was the genera how ever, who
having appointed a treasury clerk 10
district judgeship, replied to the indignant
protests of the bar, that his nominee had
''studied law year'-so that taking prece-
dent, Simmons was fit for any political
place and why not for the collectorship,
which req1ires merely business abii
ity and address. He became an
internal revenue detector. and in four or
five years had made 500, 900, as a reward for
the sweat of his brow. Such genius as this
was not to pass unnoticed. .Simmons be-
came burning and a shining light among
ward wire pullers and district pipe layers

CONGRESS.


WAsH1NGroN, May 27.-Mr. Sherman.
from the Committee on Finance, reported
favorably on the House bill amendatory OF
the act to reduce internal taxation, ap-
proved March 3, 1873. Laid over.
The contested election case OF Sykes vs.
Spencer, was taken up.
Mr.. Hamilton reviewed, at some length,
the argument before the Committee on
Privileges and Elections, and the condltion
of affairs in Alabama, and argued that tne
Legislature by which Mr.. Spencer, the
present occupant, was elected, was not the
legal Legislature of the State.
In conclusion he submitted resOlutlon
declaring Spencer not entitled to the seat
in the Senate, and that it be awarded to
Sykes.
Mr.. Morton said he did not view this case
in a partisan spirit. Alabama had de-
cided Republican majority, General Grant ant
having carried the State in 1872 by lO,oeO
majority. The whole trouble in that State
grew out of conspiracy to secure Demo-
cratic majority in the Legislature to control
the patronage, and more particularly the
election of United States Senator.
Mr.. Salisbury denied that there was any
fraud on the part of the Democrats OF Ala
bama, and said if there was any it was on
the part of the Republicans. He contended
that the Legislature which elected Sykes
was the legal one Of the State.
The discussion was interrupted by mo-
ton tor executive session.
The Senate then adjourned.

from this date until the first of September
there will be, hardly less than 81, 600 bales
received. New Orleans loses and Memphis
gains, and if the epidemic of last fall had
