WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.

WASHINGTON, Jan. %.
Another day of Congress gone, wasted,
and nothing accomplished. The Louisiana
question still drags its weary length along
none the quicker for the few days respite
given it, and its "dragglers," if may be
allowed the word. To-day Senator Pease
(rep) of Mississippi, and Senator johnson
dem of Virginia debated the question,
but without calculating any remarkable
truth. 1t was simply the same old story OF
blood and murder on one side. and OF usur-
nation on the other. Senator Pease charged
the democratic side of the Senate with be-
ing advocates of the policy of murder and
------:- -.;on rharannnn Senator Thurman
called upon him to mention the name OF
one who had, upon that floor, advocated
any such policy. Senator Pease qualified
his charge somewhat, but said that not one
word had bee n heard on that side censur-
ing the outrageous course of violence and
bloodshed on the contrary, whenever at
tention had been called TO it, the cry from
that side of the chamber had repeatedly
been at is all judicial outrage mill, got
ten up for electioneering purposes
Senator Thurman in reply utterly denied
that there had been one single word offered
in apology for murder and assassination
'but," said he, "when it comes to being 9
question of veracity between the gentleman
from Mississippi and the associated press
lie will allow US to reserve our judgment.
After this little rejoinder for first course
there followed for desert, the finishing of
and RECALLING pinch of snuff from the snuff
box, tapped with an extra touch of salts
faction. Then Senator Schurz had to b'
given "a rebuking thrust for the views HI
had expressed in his worthy speech OIL
Louisiana. He was Informed that Mis-
souri,, under his political training, had beef
won over into the hands of secession demo
cracy, who could not appreciate the ser
vices of senator however brilliant, ant
well deserving of his country, although b
might apologize for treason and murder
consequently he loses his seat, to be file
by one of another stripe.
1t would seem as if the American Senat
had dwelt full long enough upon tn
diagnosis of the Louisiana disease, and tina
it was high time to proceed to the deter
mnation of the most effectlal remedy
apply. The President may yet again b
forced TO blame Congress for all th
trouble that not only exist now, but wi
still exist, and say that body takes no az
ton in the matter.
