The Republican members of the
House of Representatives at Wash
ington got their Democratic col
leagues in q tight place again on
ednesday. Among the first busi'
ness transacted was the disposal of q
resolution introduced by Mr.. Cason,
Repub. member from Indiana. Mn
Cason introduced a resolution re-
citing that therpeople would always
feel greatful to the Union soldiers
and hold them in grateful remem-
brance, and that the wounded sur
vivors as well as the widows and
orphans Of those killed shall be taken
care of. The Democrats were taken
by surprise and remembering their
former blunders in this matter,
fastened to put themselves on record
In favor of the wounded defenders
of the Union, nearly all Of them
voting for the resolution.
Then came in the point of the joke.
Mr.. Fort, of Illinois, gravelY arose
and moved that in pursuance of the
doctrine enunciated in the resolution
just adopted, the officers Of the
House be instructed to give worthy
Union soldiers preference in making
their appointments. The Demo
Gratis were thunder-struek. Pro-
fessio1 was one thing and practice
another. They voted down Mr.. Forts
resolution in hurry, and the officers
of the House calmly continued the
work of diseharging wounded Union
soldiers and giving their places to
ex-rebels. Glen. Herald.

SOUTHERN OUTRAGEs.-In the de-
bate, April 18th, 1870, upon the Lou
isiana credential cases, Mr.. Kerr eu-
loghed as "men of integrity and
honor" and as gentlemen of "cul-
ture, the leaders of the "White Ca
melia'' and Sicillian Innocents"
who had led the murderous attacks
upon the Republican members of the
Legislature of that State, had par
ticipated in the slaughter of hun
dreds of fleeing negroes, and who in
accordance with the rebel sense of
integrity and honor had as witness
es before the Congressional commit
tee, denied under oath not only their
participation in these outrages, but
even the fact that any outrages had
been committed. With a like inver-
sion of truth and justice, at the same
he stigmatized as "bad, unscrupu-
lous, corrupt" as covered all over
with erime," as "vile, low, mean and
unPrincipled, who? !? the banditti,
who with revolvers and -hIudgeons
had invaded the hall of Representa-
tives and had made the streets of
NewOrleans literally run with blood?
1t was not these men to whom Mr..
Kerr applied these epithets. 1t was
the Republicans of Louisiana, whose
offense was that they supported the
National Government, and believed
in the equal rights of all citizens,
black as well as white
Throughout this debate, which
was continued several days, Mr.
Kerr denied every conclusively pro-
ven fact respecting the condition of
affairs in Louisiana, and endorsed,
commended and eulogized as true
every proven perjury of the Ku-
Klux leaders and their instruments.
The officially corroborated record
he styled ga common stock of SLAM
ders; baseless and fooli sh cries" He
strenuously fought for every point
GU the floor of the house for the ad-
mission of the Democratic claimants
who had attempted by violence and
fraud to prevent the polling of Re-
publican votes, and resisted by every
device of parliamentary strategy the
seating of the Republicans returned
as properly elected.

EX-CoLIECToR FAssETT. We find the
following tribute 10 the official virtu ues
of o. S. Collector Fassett of this place
and district, in the Youngstown Tribune,
furnished that paper by Mr.. E. C. Thorn.
Although it is IN the main a reafirma-
ton of what has before been said In the
Telegraph, it is well enough TO let 1t be
seen, that he may be appre ciated moth
er portions of the district, as swell as
among his own townsmen
This internal revenue district. the
10th, has been consolidated with the
18th and Is, forming one out of the
three, with the chief office at Cleve-
land. This caused Collector Henry
Fassett, of Ashtabula, to retire on
Friday last, Dec. S1st, after faith
full, honest and able administration
of about thirteen years and half
he being one of President Lincoln's
original appointees, and probably
the only one in the United States
who has held Office till this time
Although Government agents have
investigated his affairs and thor
oughly examined his books and ac-
counts at different times, no suspi-
cion of dishonesty or irregularity has
ever attached to him. Andrew
johnson, soon after his Inauguration,
sent an agent to Mr.. Fassett, telling
him he must either fall in with 'Mv
policy" or be dismissed from Office.
His reply was substantially this, that
If the Presidents "policy" should
prove such as to comport with my
own views he would be with him =
otherwise he would not. Accord
ingly Johnson nominated success
or, but the Senate would not con-
flrm the appointment and he remain
ed in office.
Mr. tassett, throughout his long
term OF service as an officer, has ney.
er appropriated a single dollar of
money to his own use except his
proper and legitimate fees, and in
these days of crooked whisky, cor
ruption and malfeasauce among rev.
enue officers, it gives us great pleas-
ure to be able to pay this tribute to
thorougly honest man.

An explanation not before noticed is
given by the Cincinnati Commercial, OF
the causes that oper ated to destroy and
erect again the statue of Napoleon upon
the Column Vendome, in Paris, and the
manner of it was thus:
Napoleon III caused the statue
of Napoleon l as the Little Corpor-
al to be taken from the Column
Yendome, and the imperial Napole-
on-or Napoleon playing Cesar
substituted for it. This act caused
the column to be regarded as amin
perial proclamation, and led to is
overthrow. There is reason to be-
lieve that if the original Little Cor
poral statue had been allowed to
crown the column, it would not have
been destroyed in the days of the
Commune. The Little Corporal
was a French soldier, and was glori-
GUS as such. The Emperor Napo-
leon had trampled upon the liber-
ties of his country. The Commun-
lists honored the soldier, but they
detested the Emperor. The right
thing for the Mac Mahon Govern
ment to have done would have been
the restoration of the Little Cor
poral. Instead of that they have
put up Napoleon playing Cesar,
bare-legged, wearing the toga and
laurel wreath, and holding a globe
and scepter in his hand. The chances
are that this thing will come down
acain.

From the New York Times
stanley LIKELY 20 Lose His Liz.


1t is Stanley's intention to de-
scend the LuaIaba as soon as he COM
pletes the exploration of the Albert
Lake, but it is to be hoped that he
will not make the, attempt. The diff
ficulties in the way are so enormous
that even Cameron was forced to
abandon the undertaking. Fortu-
nately Cameron succeeded in return
ing to civilization by abandoning
his original plan; and Stanley may
have the same timely prudence and
good luck. If, however, Stanley
starts down the Lualaba with a de-
Termination not to turn back, he will
be reasonably certain to find grave
in the African wilderness. He is too
valuable man to lose his life in an
undertaking of comparatively little
value to geography. Let him rath-
er cross the watershed west of the
Albert Lake, and follow down the
Welle to its mouth. This will be a
safer and far more important task
than to descend the Lualaba. He
will then have surpassed even Cam
eron in the extent eff his trans-con-
tinental journey, and solved the last
remaining African problem. But we
fear our advice will scarcely reach
him in time, since. we must acknowl-
edge that the circulation of the
Times is rather limited in Central
Africa.
