shat the Democratic House is not
pressing Investigations to ascertain
truth, but for the purpose of making
political capital for the coming presi-
Dental campaign The result OF the
many Investigations has satisfied the
country Of the honesty and fidelity Of
Gen. Grants administration and their
determination to keep the Republican
party in power.--It is said that lead
inc Democrats of the House are re-
ceiving letters dai ", from all sections
of the country beseeching them to
stop their Investigations and go to
work at the legitimate business OF
Congress.
Speaker Kerr has not as yet salts
factorily explained his connection with
the appointment of Lieut.. Green, al
though he has shown that Green was
recommended to him by some Of his
brother Democrats of the House and
that Harvey said to them he Har-
ney) could make something if the ap-
pointment was made.
On Thursday last Hon. [. X. Tar
box, of Mass, undertook to castigate
Hon James G. Blaine for his course
in defending himself from the mali
cious course taken by the investigating
committee. He will never undertake
job of that kind again. Mr.. Blaine
forced him to acknowleda ; that he had
got possession of and kept speech Of
Mr.. Blaine's upon which was printed
at the top of the speech "that if a
copy of the speech got into possession
of any individual before delivery it
was there wrongfully. The holding
of that speech was as gross violation
of honesty as it would have been for
the gentleman to have his Mr.,
Blaine's) watch. He had never rec
ognized the gentleman from Massachu'
sets { Mr.. Tarbox) since, and had on
ly recognized him now to say this
When Tarbox, defeated, chagrined
and disgraced. sank into his chair, the
leader Of the Democratic House ex-
claimed: "Well, if our folk are fools
enough to keep dickering about that
threshing machine from Maine they
must suffer the consequences. For
my part, [ don't want any Of it in

comfort, and command - her record
is that Of an earnest, devoted woman,
whose sphere Of action and usefulness
was her home, and whose first and
greatest care was her family. And
while she attended faithfully to her
duties as a wife and mother, she had a
"hand open as day to melting charity, y

irving in Milwaukee the sleepers are
switched off, while the balance Of the
train goes on to Chicago allowing the
occupants to rest undisturbed till g

turning from milwaukee parties can

Death of Mrs. s. L. Mason
The news of the sudden demise of
Mrs. Mason, Of Nansonville, was re-
ceived in our city last Monday, a week.

disease is supposed to have been de-
rangement Of the brain by infammato-

The Conversational Oath.

The House Committee on Judiciary this
morning bad long discussion on the repeal
Of the oath now taken by members of Con-
gress and oftice.holders generally. 1t was
held that inasmuch as the centennial year
had been usbered in, that all acts calculated
to revive the memories of the war should be
repealed. 1t was held also that the iron.clad
oath being specially provided for specific
purpose, aud the occasion for it having
psssed. that it should not now be eXacted OF
any otfice-holder. The proposition is to have
the oath of office only prescribe that the one
taking it will faithfully support and defend
the Constitution of the United States and
we'll and faithfully discharge his duties. No
action was taken by the committee, but
there was decided impression favorable TO

Referring to the fact that Mr.. Buckner, Ct
Missouri, has introduced 4 bill TO reduce the
tax on tobacco from tWenty.tour to sixteen
cents per pound, the Washington correspond
eat OF the New York Bulletin says:
alt may as we'll be distinctly stated that in
the present condition Of our national finances
no member of either The Ways and Meaus
Committee in the House, or Finace Commit
tee, would vote to make any change whatever
In the present rate of taxing tobacco. EXfe-
rience has shown that the laws regarding the
tax on tobacco work smoothly, exceps in a
fe " minor details, and that no considerable
number of tobacco manufacturers desire &
change in the rate of tax. And aboyeal', The
trade is unanimous in the hope that nothing
will be done about it in the way OF discus
sion until there is some probability Of action
In the matter. The agitation Of the matter
