POLITICAL ON DIT.


House" is sad puzzle to Kellogg. After sug.
costing several funds at which they might gnaw
to their hearts content, Pitt feels he has done
what might be considered his whole duty, and
now he has hauled of.
The gang, as might be expected, look to theil
creator for sustenance, and his milk and water
diet, served up with such sparing hand, only
increases their greed. It is said that one of the
last symptoms of starvation is hot, raging
fever, and in the case of the Legislature the
diagnosis would appear to be correct, for there is
considerable acceleration of pulse, restless
tossing and unquiet, and a delirium exhibited on
the floor ef both Houses, Indicative of nothing
else but being starved out.
THE MINERS.
The corps of sappers and miners lately appoint
ed have started out on their siege Of the State
Treasurers books, and from several hints thrown
out, we may expect grand explosion and bril-
liant display of pyrotechnics. However, many
have grave doubts about anything coming from
this committee, as the history of the last eight
years shows that, as rule, they amount to moth
ing. Ifin this instance something does come
from this piece Of engineering skill we will ba
surprised.
THE END APPROACHING.
1t is not kept nearly 80 quiet as it was. The
disaffection OF number Of the Kellogg House
has now become SO well known, they have ceased
to use their endeavors to hush the ma ter up and
now the whole matter is noised abroad.
Our readers need not feel surprised if within
the next three or four days that grand exhibition
of natures handiwork in the way of thoroughbred
legislators closes its doors and the curtain falls
on the grand finale of Kellogg's circus.
Some of the leading clowns have already shed
their tights, swallowed their chronic grimaces,
and now, assuming heavy character, loudly
demand of the ticket agent their wages, or there
will be no somersaults. Tne ringmaster already
PAGES the sawdust in agitation, and the band are
preparing to put their instruments in bags.
THE RINGS OF SATURN.
There is anything but unaaimity in the ranks
of the Radicals. The uncompromising course
that has characterised the action Of the Cons r
vative members of the Legislature has had the
effect of engendering dissatisfaction among their
opponents. Like parasites without firm object
upon which to cling, they are enervated, and
have grown weak from their isolation.
Monetary considerations, too, have tended to
create split amongst the RAIDS and they are now
Kellogg ring is broken and two smaller rings
have been formed. One of the rings, and who
are ripe for a "bolt," are working for the i'm
peachment of Grand Mogul Kellogg, who has
not Of late let fall from the gubernatorial table
divers and sundry td-bits to his retainers, and
who, in consequence, are ready "to sting the
hand that fed them"
So bitter is the feeling pervading these malcon.
tent henchmen that little is needed to make
them throw off the yoke. The other faction,
whilst opposing such a decided course of action,
secretly approve Oft The per diem recompense
for their patriotic support of political skulldug-
gerry, however, is weighty consideration, and,
the fear Of losingit detefs them from espousing
any other cause but that of Kellogg's. 1t is ru-
mored thatsPackard will step in as physician
accoucher, and not being byany means tyro in
such matters, will endeavor to heal the breach.
DAY BREAK.
On the Conservative side there il hopefulness,
and legislators are sanguine that at last their
political ostracish will be removed. The oppo.
sition to Pinchback is looked upon as mamma to
their cause, and the discomfort amongst the
Radicals augurs we'll for their speedy entrance
into the State House. Country members are be-
ginning to wear brighter faces.
After all it does seem that the dark cloud be-
gins to disclose silver lining. Their inactivity
has made them eager to pitch br4skly into work,
and it is safe to presume that the delay occa-
stoned by Radical usurpation will be made up by
the zeal and ardor which will infect their 90
quaintance with State affairs. A
TROUBLE IN THE CAMP.
The colored members Of Kellogg's crowd are
very mu6h dissatisfied with the action of Con-
yress on the credentials Of Pinchback. They
are worse than dissatisfied, they are mad, and
hey do some pretty loud talking. They seem
10 think that the action Of Congress is the Yesah
If and in keeping with advices from this city,
md that the leaders Of the faithful, those men
n whom they have sosmphcitely trusted, are re-
ponsible for these advices, and that they are but
move in plot to force the election Of Casey or
Packard.
The colored members assert that If the Senate
loes not seat Pinch on the papers he now holds,
hey will re-elect him, and beo1re they will allow
Ne plot against him to succeed they will elect
Democrat. They seem to be firm in their DECD |
ion, Notwithstanding the lectures they get in |
adcus on the way all good faithful should gp. |
THAT QUORUM.
There was lively time in Hahn's wing yester. |
lay, all because there was no quorum. Murrell |
,ot on rampage during the morning and left, |
nut did not have the backbone to stay away. He |
made pretty good bluff though. He did net |
ONE in until the Sergeants-at-Arms captured |
i'm, but then his capture was little more than |
urrender. The Sergeants4t-Arms sought m |
o take him in and he sought them to be taken |
y Of course it was not long before they met |
Wilson and Lane are the men that are creating |
II the trouble, and it would seem that they are
DING to force that tax-collectorship from Kel- |
5gg OF break something.
John Cir, Chief sergeant-at-Arms, in a cali
or information, stated that he had been unable
o find wilson, but that on Thursday night Lane |
aa been come up with, and Lane said that he was |
