At Cleveland, Ohio on Monday morning,
a jeweller named Benton went to his store,
at the corner of Seneca and Superior streets,
to wind the watches and look over the
place When he opened the safe he was
attacked by two masked men, one of whom
knocked him senseless. The robbers then
rifled the safe Of diamonds and watches, took
a diamond breastpin valued at $4,000 from
Mr.. Benton's shirt bosom, and escaped.
The value of their booty has not been ascer-
tanned. 1t supposed that they entered the
place through the cellar during the night.
Mr. Benton was unconscious for two hours,
but his injuries are not serious.

The decisions of various District Judges
against the Con.titutionality of the Enforce

arising under that act are before the
Supreme Court Of the United States, have
induced the Attorney General to suspend
further action in Ku-Klux cases throughout

CONGRESSIONAL REvELs.-On Saturday the

reading the journal Of the forty-six. hours
session. a very edifying occupationp 1t
was expected to occupy the attention of the
House until II O'Clock at night unless some
understanding as to Mondays proceedings
could be reached by the two contending
parties. We refer the reader to the tele.
graphic head for particulars.
1t was understood to be the purpose of the
opposition to set apart this intellectual re.
creation for to-day (Monday), but the RAIDS
oyerruled their purpose. 1t has been an

Senator Pause.

This knave and ass, who is foisted upon
the people of Mississippi as United States
senator by that knave Governor ANEs, who
is Buffers son.in.law, is from Connecticut,
State which has been supplying the South
with onions, and which now essays TO safe
them with PEAsE. 1t is q success. The at.
tempt has ended in q surfeit. PEAsE is bad.
He exceeds the onions In exceptionsble edor.
Indeed, there Is u fragrance in onions that Is
like the spieed gales from Araby compared
with the moral odor Of PEAsE. We publish
elsewhere lampoon from the. New York
Tribune Of this loathed carpet-bagger. 1t

Pease.

Pease seems to be a worthy persona
very worthy person. We refer to Pease OF
Connecticut Pease Is at present engaged In
representing the State of Mississippi in the
Senate of the United States. he has been
doing 1t now nearly year, having been
elected to rattle round IN asvacancy which
Mr.. Adelbert Ames had previously somewhat
thinly yelled, but which had been left wide
open to the weather by that statesman's re-
signation. For nearly twelve months Pease
has sat in the Senate and represented Missts-
sippl without making an audible sign.
Enough for him to look ilustrious, to be
consciously great, to let bis large intellec-
tual processes accumulate, and to bide
bis time. It came on Tuesday, and 1t
ran two days-two days destined to I'LL large
space in history, and that have already taken
several pages of The Congressional Record.
Louisiana affairs were under consideration,
and the Senate had listened to several
speeches from ordinary everyday states
men, Pease mean while sitting in the back
ground calmly contemplating the scene.
To the eye of the casual observer he seemed
cold and passioness. He was not. He was
representing Mississippi, and was slowly but
surely filling up with thunderbolts. In the
language of poetry, he hung on the low hori-
ION surcharged to bursting. In the slang
of the street, he was .'layine for 'em."
On Tuesday he said to himself, "This
thing has been going on long enough. The
Senate now shall hear from Pease." He
curled his lip and swept the galleries with
bis eagle eye, and smiled his measureless
satisfaction as he thought what great de-
light there was in store for them. The Sena.
ator from Virginia closed his speech and sat
down. Then rose Pease to the Senate and
the country, and shook the wild tangles OF
bis frosty hair. Sending first to the clerks
desk the resolutions of the Mississippi Legis-
lature approving the action OF General
Sheridan in Louisiana-much as the broken
nosed gladiator SHES his castor into the
ring-he waited till they were read. Then
pulling himself together he opened
up. He said the President had
been compared to Cesar and de-
clarcd to be usurper and mill
tary dictator upon the strength Of mere
newspaper reports. Pease Immediately put
them down. Indeed, the bare statement
that the charge of being q usurpcr and die.
tator rests upon nothing but newspaper re.
ports uncoyers the weakness of the case.
Nobody has seen him usurp Or heard him die
tate, and Pease disclosed the groundlessuess
Of the charge ia the shreTd and sagacious
observation that there was nothing but
newspaper reports in the case. All ! there's
no doubt about Pease when be gets hold Of
subject, BE has the inspiration Of genius,
