T.B. washburne's Gorge.

We fear ,l.at the Washburne Watch
Dogs are blind to the exsellencies of their
leader and therefore We have to republish
occasional illusions by prominent Repub-
lean papers to this chronic ofhce-holder
From the Chicago Post ana Mail
The Springfield journal notes the letter
Of Hon. J. Russell Jones to the Joliet Re
publican, in which Minister Washburne is
made to declare that, to 60 back to either
house [of congress makes my gorge rise
To this the Journal responds that it is
queer that his ''gorge" didn't rise during
sixteen years of continuous service, and
equally persistent pipe laying for renomi
nations: also this exasperating Springfield
paper observes with wonder that Mr..
Washburne's ''gorge" did not rise when
he carried on most persistent and rather
vindictive campaign against Illinois
patriotic war governor. Dick Yates" The
Journal concludes:
A seat in either branch of congress from
Illinois Is an honorable position; but We
hone nobody will arouse Mr.. Washburne' 5
gorge" by forcing it upon him. There
are still some men Of statesmanlIke ability
iu the state who are willing to accept the
honor of filing these positions, and who do
not. with affected or real disgust, complain
thai their gorge is excited by the sug-
gestion. And, as it has been suspected
| that there was some connection between
the persistent thru>ting Of Mr. Washburne
forward as a candidate for governor and a.
intention TO run him through the executive
office into the United States senate, We
suggest that he be protected from that
calamity by leaving him where he is BY
| all means, don't excite Mr.. Washburne' {
gorge -not even by exposing him to
! temptation.

ished-TmpOrtant Decision.


Special to the Appeal
JACKSON, January 26.-In the senate,
after two days debate on the Chslmers-
Sullivan contested election case, General
James r. Chalmers was seated as sens
ator from the twenty. eighth (Bolivsr)
district, by vote OF twenty-five to nine.
The committee reported the charges Of
naturalization and illegal and fraudu-
lent election at two precincts sustained,
but upon the charges rejecting upon the
honor and integrity of Mr.. Sullivan there
was no sustaining evidence whatever.
A resolution to submit to the people
an amendment to the constitution abOl-
ishing the Office of lieutenant-governor
was introduced, and will pass. The
house debated and referred the bill re-
pealing the law lOaniDg the Chickasaw
school fund and other school moneys to
the Vicksburg and Nashville railroad.
This matter has been before the courts
long time. Monday the supreme court
decided that the loan was legal and con-
stitutional, and that the road was en-
titled to the money. A bill making edu-
cation compulsory was lost. A bill to
return to the old system OF the State
paying the expenses in criminal cases.
instead Of counties, was lost.
The supreme court has decided that
the city of Vicksburg is liable for its
bonded debt, amounting to about one
sixth Of the real estate valuation. The
debt was contracted under Radical
administration, and the city sought to
avoid paying it, claiming that 1t was
unconstitutional

Mike Higgins, q man thirty-three
years old, employed by the gas com.

sault with intent to kill. About noon
yesterday he was passing the school.
house on the corner of Main and Frank
lin Streets, when several boys busy at
play ran before him and somewhat i'm
peded his progress. 1t seems that Hig-
gins became insanely angry at this, and
seizing one of the lads, named F. Stein
field, twelve years old, he deliberately
threw him into the oatch-basin of the
Main street sewer, which opens into the
street at that place. Mr.. William Ruhl,
who was passing, saw the brutal deed,
and, without . moments hesitation,
Jumped in at the risk OF his own life and
rescued the boy, although in doing so he
was almost drowned himself The boy
was taken to his home at Ill Pleasant
street, and Higgins was locked up in the
stationhouse, Well for him was it that
the officers put him in behind the bars
so soon, for the excitement among the
Trans-Rhenish people was rather intense
when the news ofhis vandalism became
noised about. At one time it looked as
if Judge Lynch might assert his authori-
ty and attend to Mr.. Higgins's case
without ado.
