THAT DEAR OLD FRIESD.-The frank.
ing privilege is a departed friend over
which Congressman will never cease to
mourn. On resolution to print num-
Der of copies of q certain report, the
other day, several Senators took occasion
to protest that they wished no extra
printing 50 long as they were obliged to
pay postage on the documents. One
Senator was particularly lugubrious over
the bankruptcy which was continually
staring him In the face, because of the
lack of the franking perquisite. He had
kept tally of his postage stamps, and
found that he paid ont 80 in one week to
send documents and letters to his con-
stituents. Another Senator thought the
abolition of TIE Thanking privilege had
caused a GOODNESS to spring mp between
Congressman and the public.
KESRALY's TRIUMPH.-The election of
DIR. Kenealy, former counsel for the
Tichborne claimant, to Parliament, is
one of the most extraordinary and I'M
expected consequences of that famous
case. Kenealy had been disbarred and
generally outlawed by the profession,
more on account of his scurrilous publ
cations after the trial than for his dubi-
Gus championship of the claimants
cause. When thus pushed to the wall,
the Doctor manfully faced his enemies
and tried to give them as good as they
sent He affected to be Jealous for the
workingman's rights, and to be a de-
voted partisan of the most refined and
abstract justice. Kenealy was elected
by the workingmen, and his elevation to
Parliament is quite as much of shock
to the respectables in England as would
be to the same class in America, for in
stance, the sending of George Francis
Train to the United States Senate.
KEEPING FAITH WITH THE INDIANS
The Committee or Indian Affairs of the
lower house OF Congress, to whom was
referred the bill to provide for the or
ganization OF Territorial form of gov
erment over the district of country
known as the Indian Territory, to be
called Oklahoma, have reported against
the project The committee state that,
after careful, thorough, and impartial
consideration OF the subject, they find,
IN view of the peculiar relations to the
government sustained by the people
therein, there is no authority which will
justify, but on the contrary they find
much In the many treaties with the In
dams occupying and owning the Terri
tory, in the acts of Congress vesting and
guaranteeing certain rights and immun.
ties to them, and in the opinion of the
