Senatorial Pannliarities

I'.TeddY O'Trix'' in the Rochester Express
Senators, like other folks, all have their little
pecuIiarIties. This is especially the case when
speaking, or preparing to speak. There's old
Tom McCreery, who has worn a shad. bellied coat
every day since last November; and every night,
too, one would think from its wrinkIed condition.
Well, old Tom, standing up, looks exactly like a
huge black bass erect on i'll tall he always sticks
one fin in his pocket, and sweeps the horizon with
the other, before Mr.. President" escapes his
lips.

Salisbury bitches up his unmentionables, as If se

and assumes a true oratOrical position at once.

1857 up TO the present time is only about
81, 800, 000,0 900, or less than the estimated
value of the Bonanza, the mind is assisted
in forming an estimate Of the possible
wealth of the four gentlemen named.
In this connection one can hardly help
reverting to the ancient history of the
metal. We find in the Bible that it formed
part Of the vast riches Of Abraham, and
that for the field of Ephriam he paid four
hundred shekels of silver. The brothers
of Joseph sold him for twenty pieces of
silver, and in the days Of the great famine
Joseph exchanged all the silver of Egypt
and Canaan for corn. Way back in those
days silver was used in the composition of
jewelry, for the beautiful Rebecca received
jewels of silver from AOraham's servant.
Pliny makes great account of the fact that
the rich mines of silver opened by Hanni-
bal at the foot Of the Sierra Moreno yielded
three hundred pounds weight daily. What
would have been Pliny's language had he
been writing about a mine that now yields
four hundred tons daily?
Evidently the day for wonders has not
ceased. 1t is more heavily freighted now
than ever before with revelations that
astonish, even bewilder the mind. As the
arm of man becomes more powerful it
reaches further up to open the awful mys-
teries of the sky, and as it becomes more
cunning it reaches deeper down into the
heart of the earth to open the treasure
chests of God. Before such revelations as
the hills of Nevada make, the story of
the favors of Bacchus to Midas, enabling
him 10 turn whatever he touched into gold,
and the fairy romance of Schcherazedc
about Aladdin and his wonderful lamp
sink into insignificance.

WhitelaW Reid.

Ere m the N. 7. Times.
II the Tri6UHe'S accusations against Gov. Shep-
herd were made on as slight . foundation as It's
charges against Messrs. Dawes and Wood, OF the
Ways and Means Committee, they certainly
might have long ago been made the occasion Of q
successful libel suit. It would be difficult to
imagine a more pitIable exhibition Of eredulIty,
ignorance and recklessness than was made by the
editor of the Tribune in his cross-examinstion
before the committee. He confessed to having
believed that Mr.. Wood, who was one Of the
most prominent opponents Of the Pacific Mail
subsidy in the House, had taken money in return
for his support Of the scheme, and he had a sus-
piciOn that Mr.. Dawes, who was an avoWed sup
porter Of the subsidy from the first, might pos
sibly have been one of the members whom the
lobby received money to control" Though his
information on these points was the mere echo Of
able to designate, the witness admitted that 1t
upon two members Of the committee in the
Tribune, and had been thought of sufficient i'm
pOrtance to be very explicitly communicated by
letter to another member of the committee.
Altogether, Mr.. Whitelaw Reid comes out on his
own testimony in the character OF q iussy and
conceited busy body, who considered the little
tattle Of Wall street or Of Bohemian clubs to be
Suf1cient ground for slandering members of COn-
gress and who prOfessed to AuthoritatlYely dis
cuss q question about whose details he was
grossly ignorant. For a man who has talked and
written so much twaddle about the responsible
titles and etiquette Of journalism, MIR. Reld'5 ap-
pearaDce in the witness box was certainly a very
extraordinary exhibition.

railroad; DR.. Hawkins president of the
Raleigh and CASTOR railroad, and General
Stubs, president of the W. and G. rail-
road, and will be appreciated when 1t is
known that the gentlemen mentioned are
native North Carolina Democrats. Fur
ther, the Post by indireCtion charges what
is well known to be the truth, that the
Senator was himself the attorney and ad-
wiser of some of these Democratic railroad
presidents during the sessions of the con
vention and Legislature. If the issue Of
these bonds and the Misrepresentation OF
the money realized from them really did
provoke the Ku-Klux uprising, as the Sen
ator charges, does it not follow that he was
to some extent responsible2 Will he rise
and explain, or will he remain quiet under
the imputation of having deliberately at
tempted to mislead his fellow-Senators re-
garding the affairs Of his own State?

PROCRAsTIEATIUN is the thief Of time
is an old adage now rendered 10y members
Of the Forty-tkird Congress as follows ::
'ProCrastination is the thief Of our politi-
cal success. In other words they are be-
ginning TO discover that the habit of sIirk-
ing the responsibilities of the hour and
PostpOning action upon measures which
the people imperatively demand has re
suited in unseattng many Of them. For
example, Cheap Transportation, Inter
state Railroad Communication, the Louisi-
ana Question, the Southern Troubles, the
Finances, the Development of Internal Re-
sources, providing Labor for the Laboring
masses, and many other equally important
measures. Does any one pretend to say
that the Republican party would have met
with the partial defeats of last fall if these
questions had been satisfactorily disposed
of by Congress? Experience is the best

Our special from Little Rock this morn
ing proves the truth Of our surmisc that
Governor" Garland intended, when he so
boldly proclaimed his desire C?) to prosecute
the White Lcaguers, to deceive the outside
public. The idea Of a Grand Jury in a
Republican county which docs not embrace
a single Republican in its membership, is,
10 say the least. suspicious; and proves CON
Clusivcly that Garland is carrying out his
design TO make an cr Tarte showing to the
country at large. But as our dispatch
declares, his infamous intention has been
so bluntly exposed that the effect Of the
action Of the Grand Jury has already been
discounted.

SENATOR MERRMoS, Of North Caro-
lima, seems, TO use a homely phrase, to have
''put his foot in it il one of his recent
mastery efforts. " THE convention he
said, "that assembled under the auspices of
Congressional reconstruction undertook
''to increase orr debt millions. The first
Legislature that was elected under it, to,
"gether with the convention, undertook to
'increase it over $4,000, 900. These
bonds were put upon the markets of the
country, and Of the vast sum less than
$500, 900 went into the public works of
''the State. This was mainly the handi-
"wOrk of political adventures from the
North" The Wilmington On c. Post,
abiding to these points, shows that the
bonds authorized by the convention
amounted to So, $50, 900, and that the money
derived from their sale amounted to
81, 912, 500, instead of $500, 600, as the Sen,
ator states. But the point Iof his blunder
resides in the fact that the money thus
realized was disbursed by the late Colonel
r. H. COwan, then president Of the
Wilmington, Charlotte and Rutherford
