What Tine New Senators Think
OF Party and King Caucus.

Naturally great deal of interest
has existed in the minds of all who
are anxious for the permanent and
highest good for this nation; to
know what would be the stand tax
en- by the new United States Sena
tors, whose elections were brought
about by the new condition of things
and without the usual caucus and
party discipline and machinery.
From interviews Of the New York
Times reporter we extract the fol-
lowing opinions Of the new Sena-
tors with regard to ;,arty and eau
Gus, which we think, to say the
least, are vast improvement over
the old condition Of things, and we
believe in rejoicing over what has
been gained and taking courage:
5. J. r. Mcmillan said he was in
the habit of having and acting upon
his own convictions, and he did not
expect to be called upon to SUR
render his private judgement on
public questions to the will of the
caucus. He was, however, willing
to cooperate to any reasonable and
proper degree with the majority.
Senator Christiancy of Michigan
said he was a republican. but he re-
garded party as means and not an
end. He was willing to 60 into the
caucus to advise and consult with
his political associates on public
questions, in order to harmonic
views upon minor details, that
common and sequentia] object
might be secured by united party &C
ton, and for consultation upon any
and all measures. But he would
not so into any caucus if compelled
to surrender his individual judgment
to the will of a majority upon any
measure affecting the public inter
est
Senator Cameron in his state
ment of his political creed does not
come up to what mi ght have been
expected of man elected as he
was and we shall wait further devel-
opments before we rejoice in any
thing more than. that his election
was the breaking up Of and old ring,
showing that the government cannot
always be run by few designing pol
lticlans. We have our own opinion
of the man who has no political opin-
ions except those that are expressed
yb blind allegiance to party, and we
presume that the people, pretty gen
orally, have had all they want Of
that class of men, so we will for
bear quoting any Of his miserable
twadle. We can respect a man,
whatever may be his political creed,
who, like Judge Christiancy, places
I'll the public interest" first, and re-
CARDS party simply as "a means and
not an end," but the man who
places his clique and his party
above his country we despise and
abhor as a miserable hend in dis
gulse only wanting an opportunity
to develope into Shiny, crawling
traitor.
Senator Booth of California, said
that he was elected upon an indie
pendent ticket, and that circum.
stances had placed him in a posi-,
ton politically where he did not ex.
pect to cooperate with any party
for political purposes. He did not
anticipate that he should attend any
OF the caucuses of either party, anc
certainly should not, unless in the
future some unforeseen condition o.

The Rafron Of Hus6and'y Of Col.
umbus, Mississippi, says:

The Raxron Of hus6and,y Of Col
umbus, Mississippi, says:
Travelling in the country, we
saw an old negro tugging a basket
of peaches up long steep hill to
throw to his pigs, which were just
outside the fence. Seeing that
there was nothing but fruit trees in
the orchard, we asked: odd man,
why don't you turn your pigs into
the orchard and let them get the
peaches for themselves p The old
man scratched his heaG moment
and answered: 'Thankee, marster,
l neber once thought OBJ dat. I'll
try 'em shure.' Would it not be
better for the West to start factories
and thus bring consumers to the
corn, than to send their corn thou
sands of miles to the consumers !"
The Butter and Egg men lately
in National Convention at Chicago,
decided the distinction "Western
butter" as unfair, good Butter made
in the West being just as good as
any body's butter, and recommend
ed that four grades Of butter be es-
tablished according to quality. We
shall then hereafter have butter No.
1, No. 2: No. ; and No. !. How
the quality is to be tested is not
stated. We suggest that the lower
grades might be fixed by the num-
Der Of stripes and the symmetry or
want of symmetry in the arrangement
of the bo7'es tafbiN which these
qualities are supposed to contain, as
constant tasting by an expert faster,
might prove too much for a fine
physical system, and sensitive ner-
vous organization.

WHO SUGGESTED MR.. BEECHER'S MIDNIGHT
VISIT TO MRS TILTON.

Now. gentlemen before | go to the inter
view with Mrs Ttcn at Che house OF Mr Tlton want
to bring your attention to the part Of Mr.. Ttons tes
mony that has to do with this last matter that his
story may be told Now, after Mr. Tiltons statement Of
what he said TO Mr.. Bee cher, Mt TlltOn says:
AT tho close of the narrative Mr. Beechcr sat in his
chair, and thought he about TO speak / waited q
red and feared for tho moment that there would be
some accident TO him. He burst out with these words
Theodore, am In a dream this Is Dane's Inferno"
And that ia the way Mr. Tton tries to up with
classical reference what his real statement" This
Il all dream" All, Mr.. Tilton told Mr.. MOuton that
plcbt when Mr. MouitOn came back from accompanying
Mr. Beecher down to Mrs. Titon's, that what Mr.
Beecher did say was Theodore this Is all dream" 1t
was not anythinga Dantes Inferno" then. But MT
Tton told another man. only three days afterward what
il was Mr. Beechcr said when he had got through with
his Tltons narrative to him. and mark how 1t concurs
lie gave on the I'd day OF January to his friend Storrs
a narrative OF how the matter went on between
him and Mr. Beecher. He told him how
he had sent for Mr. Boecher to Mr. Noul
toms house, and that Mr.. Beecher came there
and when he came there lie made this charge against
him OF improper propositions to his wife, and he said
Mr. Beecher seemed be asonshed and said that could
be so, and Mr. Titon made motion as though he
was taking something out Of his pocket, and sad-that

Mr. Bcecher seemed surprised and said that could not be
so said Elizabeth could not have said because it
not true.
Two days after, having said that night that all that Mr.
Beechcr said was This Is all Dream he told his friend
sorrs exactly what Mt Beecher had said. and then he
goes on to tell Mr.. Storrs what TOn had said TO Mr.
Beecher that no had sad that Elizabeth could have
said So because It not true, and then
Mr.. Tilton says to Mr. storrs thai he said
Mr. Bcecher"Wel, II you don't believe it, 30 and
ask Elizabeth" and he said that Mr. Beecher did 20 and
his wife, and got from her retractOn that there
never had been any improper proposals. land when
found 1t out was very angry, and told Mr. M0ulton and
he very angry"
We'll, have no doubt that ne angry that he had
