Among the men who have been cons

Among the men who have been conspi-
cuous in congress, and extensively conspi-
cuous, was one- j. H. Sypher, holding a
seat as q meusber from the city OF New
Orleans. This man never was elected,
and that fact has been notorious to every
member of the house from the first day of
meeting. Yet the house permitted him
to retain his seat to the exclusion Of the
man rightfully elected until the last hours
of the session. when they declared him

the meantime has drawn his two years
salary. At the same time, the house ad-
mitted Mr.. Sheridan to a seat from New
Orleans. In 1879, Pinchback was candi.

SOME SHARP HITS AT AN Elk
FIRING PARTY.

Remembering that the Chicago Tribune
is now Republican party paper, the fol-
lowing, clipped from its editorials of the
5th, will be read with satisfaction:
From the Chicago Tribune, March 9Th. 81,
The bill to equalize bounties of soldiers
in the war of the rebellion had troublous
time. The house refused to concur in the
senate amendments, and the bill went to a
conference committee. This committee
made q report which was adopted by the
house, but the senate laid the bill on the
table. Subsequently the bill was signed
by the vice president, against the protest OF
q number of senators. 1t was at first sup
posed that the president had signed the
bill, but subsequently it appeared that he
had refused to do so, and, had time allow
ed, would have vetoed it. The bill appro-
priated a sum variously eliminated from
1920, 100000 to $200,0O0,000. The Force
bill was not touched or taken up in the
senate, and therefore failed. The action OF
the house upon the Louisiana and Arkan-
sas matters seems to have been considered
as final. The River and Harbor bill, APP
proprlating Sc 1900, 900 directly, and in adj
ditlon $4,000, 600 indirectly, for the Eads
Jetty plan OF Improvement of the mouth OF
the mississippi, was passed. The ma.
Jority, or least large proportion, of the
items of this bill are abuses of legislation,
are outraged plumber of the treasury for
purely local and personal Objects mere
grabs: The bill regulating the mode of
counting the votes for president and vice
president failed to receive action in the
mousse, as also the bill for the admission of
new Mexico as state, while that for the
admission Of Colorado passed. This con.
gress, two thirds Of the members NOT not b au
ing been reelected, seems to have devoted
itself almost exclusively to leyyinr adj
tional taxes, and to appropriations and ex-
penditures. 1t seemed to act on the as
sumption that this was the last chance
to raid the treasury, and it made much Of
its opportunities.
The more important acts of legislation
passed by congress were: /. All the regu.
lar appropriation bills. 2. The River
and Harbor bill. 8. The Civil Rights bill
t. The bill levyiDg additional taxes, S,
The daily Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1873-1877, 1875-03-06

Bill admitting Colorado in 1877 as a state
of the Union. 6. The bill making banking
free and making provision for return 70
specie payments in 1879. z. The Little
Tariff bill, by which taxes were increased
by several millions in sneaking and sur
reptitious manner, the advocates of the
bill denying that it increased taxes, when
they well knew they were lying.
1t will perhaps take two or three days
| to discover what the bills passed by con.
gress contain, and the country will be for
tunate, indeed, if the enormous Tax bill
be not supplemented with acts of waste
and extravaganza equaling the worst days

A Pleasant Affair.

Sherman's Band, of Winooski, with the
balance of the Veterans from Rutland who
did not return the night before, arrived
from Bratfleboro on the mail train from
the east yesterday afternoon.
A cordial invitation, extended to them at
the time of their engagement by Comrade
w. F. Paige, was accepted, and they pro-
ceeded to the Bates House and partook of
a superb dinner.
Through the courtesy of G. F. Richard
son, proprietor of the Berwick House
stables, they took pleasant drive about
town in his large four horse band team.
On their circuit they honored with sera.

mander Dyer and the GLOBE Office. Cap
tain Sherman was presented with beauti-
full bouquet by Mrs. Dyer, and each men,
Der of. the band button hole bouquet
by her young daughters.
Had their arrival been an hour and one
half earlier, other "calls" would have been
made.
AT the depot they gave three rousing
cheers for Commander Dyer and took the
five o'clock express for home, bearing with
them, we are sure, the most kindly wishes
of all.

There was pleasant little reunion down
on Water street, says the Burlington Free
| Press, the other night, from which one
| gentleman emerged minus one ear, having
in an unguarded moment accidently placed
it in the mouth of companion. No in
| surance.
| St. Johnsbury has been visited by many
distinguished tourists during the present
season. One, who visited stated that he
had travelled extensively IN this and other
countries, that for its picturesque scenery,
| neat and tidy residences, general enter
prise, thrift and intelligence OF its inhabit-
| ants. together with its bracng atmosphere,
| st. Johnsbury was far ahead of any village
| he had ever visited.
Hon. A. B. Lewis, of Coventry, r. l.,
member of the Senate of that State, has
been at Burlington. Mr.. Lewis is men,
Der of the committee of arrangements for
the forthcoming excursion Of Mohassuck
Encampment l. o. o. F., of Providence,
to Montreal and Quebec. This fine body
of men have been invited by the Odd Eel
lows of that city to stop an afternoon and
over night on their way home from their
Canadian trip, and be appropriately re-
ceved.
One day last week Mr.. Couch, of
Lyndon missed his horse. He at once
suspected that Frenchman, who had
been at work for him, had stolen it. To-
gether with sheriff, he made pursuit
towards Canada. overtaking the thief and
team at Derby Line. They recovered the
team, but let the thief off on his paying
them money. A very good way of how
not to do it.
DR.. L. c. Butler, of Essex, has in his
possession veritable collar worn by Rev.
Amasa Stuart, when he was pastor of the
Congregational church at Essex Centre,
more than forty years ago 1t is of the
standing kind, over five inches in height.
When worn, it came up well under the
lower lobes of the ears, imparting pc
culiarly stiff and dignified appearance to
the wearer.
The fire wardens Of st. Adams have
disbanded the hook and ladder company
of that village. The warden informed
the foreman, Mr.. Dan E. Sullivan, that
several members (not naming them)
should be expelled from the company
Mr.. Sullivan said that he would not put
them out, as il would make enemies for
himself, and he was ordered to disband the
| company, which was accordingly done on
| Wednesday evening last.
On Friday evening last large party
witnessed the opening of night bloom
| ing cereus at the residence of Mrs.
Stevens at st. Adams. The plant was
some ten or twelve years old and has
never put forth blossom before. Re-
| Gently small stem started from one of
the spines, but grew slowly at first In
the "a hours preceding the opening of the
| bud, the stem grew nearly one-half, and
the bud became fully developed. At
| p. M, it began to open, and three hours
later measured AZ inches across it con-
tinued to expand until its diameter was
over six inches.
