-Rumors have been rife that Mr.. Ordway,
of New Hampshire, for many years Ser
geant at Arms Of the House Of Represen-
tatises, had paid his own son for services
as messenger while that son was attending
college, A gentleman Of Warasn New
Hampshire, wrote to the present Clerk of
the House Of Representatives to ascertain
whether the report was correct or not.
From that official he obtained a statement
showing that during most of Eve years
young Ordway's name was on the pay.
rolls of Congress. The amount received
BY him under this arrangement was s4,-
355.55, sum sufficient to pay his ex-
penses through college. The date Of nav.
ment for services was during the period
that the young man was in college. and
could therefore render no services to the
Government.

VIZ would like to ask some OF our
Democratic friends who profess to repre-
sent the young Democracy - exactly
what that means we do not comprehend
If they recollect time when some Of
them had their limbs shackled and their
mouths sealed by the rigid enforcement
OF registration laws? We would also like
TO ask them if the know that body oi
true and tried Democrats were working
day aud night, spending their time and
money to relieve them from this de.
graded condition, and by unparalleled
e1ertions did at ngth succeed IN evolving
light from darkness, and put them on
their feet MS political freemen2 And
now we would ask if it is manly graft
tude, because of some personal pique OF
animosity, to turn your backs on them
snub them ard deny them participa-
tion in your political assemblages1
These are questions that are well worthy
