Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1876-05-17

The most notable event Of the last
week at this political head-center,
was the Presidents message to the
House on the subject of executive alb
senteeism, There has been nothing
like it for 10 these many years. If
the House had been soft-hoiled egg
and an elephant had trod on it, it
could not have been fiatter than it
was laid ont by the message. The
Democrats fairly writhed in agony,
while the Republicans were as jolly,
every man, as eyer Mark Ispiey7 was.
There was an attempt made to dis
pense with the reading of the docu-
ment, but il was no 90, and the House
had to sit still and take the peppering
as best ii could.
You see when Grant, who is an OBJ
stinate man, makes up his mind to
sit down, he sits down "hcfty." If
there is anything under him it is in
eyitably ssqusheda as thin as q fish
worm with a saw-log rolled over It.
1t would be little odd if the silent
man who sent the late Confederacy to
kingdom come would permit this
stupid House to play games ON him.
1t Is matter for general graduation
that he so completely turned the ia
bles on the House IN this matter, and
made the Democrats themselves UNI
speakably ashamed of themselves.
Ard this because, though absentee
ism is liable tn great abHss, and to
bring about. inconveilience and wrong,
the House went at the matter in a
laundering, wrong-end-first fashion.
1t took it for granted that the Presi-
dent had violated both law and proc
edent, whereas he had violated nei-
Their the one nor the other. BY the
stupid way in which the House went
at the business II gave the President
a magnificent opportunity to com
pletcly floor that ex-Confederate
body, of which he took every advan.
tage. He made tremendous score
and the House took nothing by It's
notion Washington Correspondent

Ottumwa weekly courier. (Ottumwa, Wapello County, Iowa) 1872-1899, 1876-05-17

In fhe early days OF MOrmonism,
the preachers of that faith made pre-
tensions to miracle working, such as
healing the sick and raising spirits
One Of these chariatans conceived the
idea Of calling down the Holy Gllast
as that spirit is said to have appeared
at the baptism Of John-in the form of
a dove. There was to be a sermon
on Slpday-it was III warm weather
jim an old-fashioned wooden church
in the middle of the ceiling Of which
was large hole for ventilation, COW
cred with a movable board. Taking
an Irish farm hand into his confidence
the preacher secured white pigeon,
and hiding the man and the dove
i'm the attic, told Pat when he
heard the words "Holy Ghost APP
pear " repealed the third time he
was to silly drop the dove through
the aperture. Fhe preacher departed,
the day was warm and Pat having
duly sampled q pocket flask, fell
asleep. He aWoks during the service,
and instead of his dove saw q meek,
satisfied-looking tom cat licking his
jaws, while around the two were num-
