Some Of the x-Congressmen about
town. hanging on to a despairing hope
of getting quartered upon the Govern.
ment, are really objects Of pity. Elect
ed by a queer combination Of circum-
stances to a place they had no qualii-
cation for, they have, IN sinking back
20 their native ~ObscUrity, become dOubly
dissolute and worthless. One of the
most pitiable eases about town, Is one
Clinton /. Cobb, who was carpet-bag
member Of the fOrty-secOnd and forty
third Congress from North Carolina.
He was an ultra Radical, 50 far as his
weak intellect could make him. Since
the adjournment Of Congress, he has
been frying his best t. get an Office Of
some sort. He was even an applicant
for the place Of Ir. Douglass, the Com
missioner Cf Internal Revenue. In
these latter days be has become very
-impecunious, and consequently unpOp-
ular with the Republicans. To-day he
was sued IN Justice Hills Office, by D.
2. Kicking, an avenue druggist, 70 re-
cover the amount of a bill run up by
Cobb during the lastmOnth Of bIs term
as a Congressman. The items Of this
bill, for which 10 pay can be gotten,
are very interesting, as giving the out
side public an idea Of the meat upon
which great men feed.
