Plants in the Hoitse.-But few thiOgs
add more To tho cheerfulness of q sit
ting room than a few plants in healthy
aud vigorous growth. These may be OF
various kinds, according to the taste OF
the individual. Geraniums, pinks, ivy
and common flowers are easily and
cheaply grown. 1t Is surprising what
handsome foliage and what quantities
Of flowers can be produced in tho sit

Mr.. Davy asked whether, subsequnt-
ly to the exposure of Tweed, Mr.. Til
den had not met Tweed at the Roch-
ester convention, and had not raised
his voice against Tweed taking a seat
Mr.. Cox Qo whom Mr.. Hewitt
yielded for an answer) replied that
there was no necessity for Tilden's
doing so, as Tweed was not in the
convention. sos
Mr.. Hewitt-The bare naked fact is
this: There was war-war to the
knife-between GovTilden andTweed,
aud it ended in the defeat and exile of
Tweed. Loud applause on the DEM
ocratic side.] That is all there is
about it. l call the House to witness
that l have answered every question
bearing on the merits Of this case.
No one will intimate that there was
the slightest intimacy, personal or po-
litical, at any time, between Samuel
j. Tilden and William NJ. Tweed.
There never was. There was that as
sociation which comes from the en-
forced appointment of men on COM
mittees, from their living in the same
community, and from belonging to the
same party. But the one man stood
in the community above and beyond
suspicion, and the other was always
an object of hatred and finally of de-
testation. l defy the gentlemen to
lay their hands upon a dishonst dol
lar in the possession of Samuel j, Til
den. The people whom he served are
his friends to-day and his best friends
and if it is the service which he
rendered to them that win, notwith-
standing the insinuations of the gen.
tleman from Iowa, give him the vote
OF those great western States within
whose borders he reconstructed high
ways which are to them to-day the
arteries of commerce and blessings
whose value cannot be properly esti.
mated. Through the whole of his re-
markable career he has been the wis
est of men. He has been the truest of
friends. He is today the wisest, the
most accomplished statesman in the
land, aud he will, by the blessing of
God, be one of the greaiest, perhaps
the greatest, of Presidents of the
United States, because he will have
the opportunity to resue this govern
ment from the hands of the incompe-
tent and dishonest men who have con-
trolled it so long and have made it a
reproach in the eyes Of the civilized
world. Great applause on the DEM
ocratic side. aa4cl

WHAT REPUBLICAN NEWSPAPER
THINKS OF sECOH ROBESON.
From the Chicago tribune ai
Secretary Robson took the law in
to his own hands, and without the
knowledge or consent of the Senate
removed the naval fund deposits from
the old reliable, safe and solvent house
Of Barring Bros, and placed the money
in the wildcat banking concern Of Jay
Cooke, McCulloch T. Co. Not long
afterward, by reason OF reckless stock
jobbing and general mismahagement
OF their business, the Cooke concern
busted up. with S9OO.OOO of United
States money in their hands. After
they tailed, Secretary Ro,eson took
l,OC6, 73l gold dollars out of the Treas
urv and sent thom to the London
branch OF the broken concern to help
them pay solnc of their debts TO other
people. Ii is three years since they
failed, and they still owe our Govern
ment 100000. The original debt they
owed the Government when they
busted was $500, ,OOO,so that only $780,
600 of this money has yet been recOv-
ed. Robeson violated the plain letter
of the law when he turned over the
naval funds to Jay Cooke Il Go. with
out the consent OF the Senate, aud he
acted illegally when lie deposited a
million with them after they had fail
ed. The facts are admitted, and can
not be excused or justified. Why the
President retains this man in the Cab
met is n mystery. 3dl J.8 #t tfa
