experienced bee raiser came to us last
week, and Asks our opinion as to the
best way tohive bees Having devoted
many years to agricultural pursuits, and
knowing all about digging wheat, SOW
ing potatoes, and sich, still this is sub.
ject which we have not given much
study. We would suppose, however,
that the safest way would be to wait un
til the bees are asleep, and then 60
around and pick 'em up one at time,
with pair of tongs, and drop 'em into
the hive Great care should be taken to
drop them in gently, so as not to dis.
turb their repose, for bee suddenly
awakened has more courage than an Az
rican lion, and more danger in his tail

cratic praters on economy, like Senator Wal
lace OF Pennsylvania, would be found acting
with the Radical Senators against Messrs. Ran
dali, Holman, and all the other true Democrats
at the other end OF the Capitol. The pretext
that Wallace finds to serve his purpose OF OBJ
structing the efforts OF tho House 60 eoonomize,
Is the false and frivolous one that the Appropri
alton bill contained new legislation. The sala-
res Of the nine professors at West Point
are, be says, fixed by law at t45,SO0
but the Hons, OF Representatives cuts
them down to t2O,OO0 whioN ne says Is new leg
isation. and so he supports the N'nehument OF
the Senate Committee on Appropriations. HIS
other excuse Is that he Is unwilling to cut down
the salaries of these professor, whom he re-
g rds "a the very root Of the tree OF the army
the head Of the institution that gives knowledge
and power to the organization Of the army, and
through which, when tbe rude blasts OF war
come, nerve and force ifnd vitality are given to
the armies OF the republic. This Is worse than
his pretext about new legislation. 1t Is clap
trap. Tho only way the House can effect any
reductions is to do so In APPROPRIATION bills. 1t
Ia the regular and legal method of legls-
lating. Salaries are fixed by law, OF course,
but by tue act that approprates the
money to pay the same. To take the position
that before the House can reduce salaries 1t must
pass an act that provides the reduction Is to say
that no reduction shall be made, because, Of
course, the Senate will refuse to pass the act,
and II II did, the President would veto II. SEN
ator Wallace comes here with record made In
the Pennsylvania Legislature, which Is, TO say the
least, somewhat unsayory but II was hoped that
he would try TO redeem his character when he
was elevated to the United States Senate. What
can bis object be IN opposing economy In the
annyf Is it because this relentless spirit Of
economy with which Randall has imbued the
House Of Representatives, is prejudicisl to Tom

WASHINGTON, Feb. N.-The examination

concluded on Saturday. The result OF his testi-
mony is to satisfy the committee that corrup-
tion most gigantic scale was practised to
secure the passage Of tho Texas-Pacinc charter,

in regard 10 II. He denied that he had any per-
sonal knowledge OF the bribery. or promise Of
bribes to members OF Congress, but when asked
20 tell what had been told him by his agents OF
the agents of the company on this subject, he
objected most strenuously TO the question, and
sought TO evade all answer. He nnaily said he
could not remember. lie admitted, however,
that he WAS shown IA list of members OF Con-
gress who had been promised bonds, but he
declared that he could not remember single
name. He also admitted that claim was mado
upon the COMPANY after its organization for the
amount Of these bonds, which had been prom
ised TO members Of Congress and other persons
for services rendered In Washington, and that
this claim had been recognized and commit
tee appointed to consider 1t tut ne swore that
he did not remember VINO any OF the claimants
were. These claimants were represented by X.
C. Parsons and II. NJ. Corwine, and they knew
all about the names Of the persons they repre-
sented, as did also the members of the commits
tee. who were officers OF the company, to whom
these claims were referred.
