A Bit OfHistO7'u.

The citation of a circumstance connected
with the death of a relative, says the Sea-
ford "Citizen," brought to our mind it,
tie scrap Of history that bears directly upon
an artic le of furniture in our possession
1t is nothing more than an ordinary size
mahogany table, and as its history may
not prove uninteresting, we will give it az
near as we can in the absence of official
date: 1t was made in Germany in the year
1874, consequently it is now one hundred
and forty-two years old. It was brought to
America by our great geat grandmother in
1850, who settled in Pennsylvania. Nothing
definely is known of the family until the
breaking out Of the revolution, when her
son distinguished himself as a soldier in the
patriot army while she industriously applied
herself to the task Of making cannon cart
ridges. During her temporary absence
from home one day this table was stolen by
a British scouting party. Learning of it's
whereabouts, she walk ten miles through
binding snow storm, and presented GREW.
ences to the general commanding. Be it
said to his credit he treated her with great
courtesy, and not only compelled the res
tororation of the table, but severly rcpri-
manded his soldiers, and made three of them

on a sledge. On the way one of the soldiers,
who was drunk, stuck his bayonet in one
Of the leaves, the mark Of which is still in
it. She afterward loaned it to seyerly dis
tinguished American officers, who used it
as mess table. On the breaking up of
the camp they returned it, presenting her
with some Continental money for its use.
1t was afterward sent to Baltimore and
writing table, acquiring the sobriquet of the
patriotic price Of mahogany By some
means it came into the possession of our
grandmother, now 7S years of age, who still
resides in Wilmington. She lived for
time at Cristiana, New Castle county, but
moved to Perryvlle, Cecil county, Md, and
when Kossuth passed through that place
on his way to Washington, during his visit
to this county, in 1854, he used 1t as u
lunch table in the depot. 1t was given to
US at our marriage, and when we "shuffle
off this mortal COLL" we don't know what
will become fit.

"A Plea for KevIOxx.

From the N. o. Bee SUNDAY. Feb. ~. 1891
In an article intended to prove that
the House cannot and should not i'm
peach Kellogg, we find the following:
ION the other hand, SUPPOSE that Kellogg we're
to refuse to submit to the impeachment suppose
he we're to defy tho House and refuse to con-
TO be removed2 He has all the power Of the
State in his hands. Is tho House prepared 70
excite nm armed conflict in order to consum-
mate a political revolution Is it prepared 10
excite civil war, only to invite the armed inter-
vention OF the Federal Government" etc.
In one paper alone. the official Radical
organ, the Republican, did we expect to
find such-language, and we were forced
to look several times at the title of the
sheet before being convinced that 1t was
from the Bulletin that we read.
And have we really reached that stage
Of degradation, that a journal, be it what
1t may, can expect, by considerations
such as are found In the article from
which the above extract Is clipped, to
prevent the House OF Representatives
from exercising and performing its SOW
ereign right and Imperative duty under
the Constitution and the laws?
Whatl the House must halt from fear
that o miserable usurper, convicted oi
fragrant abuses Of power, may openly

position Is entertained that such revolt
may lead to civil war, and may again
provoke an armed Intervention.

Lrr orR REPRESENTATIVES, De FIRM.

y A crisis, in our affairs, as State, has
arisen. The House OF Representatives.
is holding an Inquest upon the official
conduct OF the acting Governor.
IL they should impeach him. 1T Is
plain, by acts i22 and 50 Of the cofistitu-
ton that. from the moment of the
impeachment, he is suspended from his
official functions until he shall be nc
quilted. tl.5 h.h
It is vaguely intimatcd that he Will
not submit to suspension. but will con-
tinue to act as Governor. This means
that he will defy the accusing or i'm
peaching power Of the House OF
Representatives .t+ ..t
Though the session Is almost at an
end this question can be tested. LII
Kellogg should be impeached. 1t is
Antoine's duty to assume the Executive
Office and functions. II he fails, il will
be evidence. on his part. of an intent to
aid and abet Kellogg In his lawlessness.
II will be evidence Of an intent to OBJ
struct and defeat the due process OF the
law II will be a fragrant act of resist
ance to the effort Of the peoples repre-
sentatives to bring guilty official to
Justice. II he fails, the House should
assert It's powers by ilnpeachiug him
also, and all others who stand in the
way OF full and fair investigation OF
the matters charged against Kellogg.
Impeachment articles suspend the &C
cused officer ipso facto No matter who
the official accused is, tho impeachment
suspends. S'H
Kellogg's call OF the Senate In extra
session is ground FOR his arrangement.
Why did henot call the General Assem-

ira session. If he refuses. lot him be

FALSE ALARMS.

The emissaries of Kellogg and the
opponents of impeachment are circulat-
Ing the report that violence. revolution.
and many other terrible things, are
about to break out. This is utter folly,
and Il Is strange that intelligent people
should attach any weight TO such non
sense. The representatives OF the
people will act within the law; they
have no purpose OF violence. they are
not organizing revolution. They be-
lieve that Mr.. Kellogg is guilty Of crimes
which their duty to the State requires
them to take cognizance of, and they
will impeach him under the law, and in
accordance with the law. There is no
reason for excitement or apprehen-
sion, or for the disturbance Of the
peace. unless Mr.. Kellogg shall attempt
himself to defy the constitutional pro-
cesses Of the Legislature. There is no
reason why business should be inter
rupted; there is no reason why the
throngs Of visitors to our city should not
quietly enjoy themselves, visit the
theatres, dance at the balls
and be gay. The representatives
OF the people propose to try State
criminal; but the constitution and the
laws provide for a peaceablt procedure
in the matter, and every provision is
made to prevent suspension OF civil
justice or any jostling in the movement
of the government. she .e
There is no reason for apprehension
II Mr.. Kellogg shall attempt, as his
organ and his tools in the House have
threatened, to resist the processes OF
law, there may be trouble; but we do
not believe he will venture to
do SO. Nobody has spoken OF
violence, or bloodshed, or revolution,
except Kellogg and his supporters. II
there shall be such things, the response.
bility will be upon them. Let the people
Of the city be calm; there is no prospect
pt commotion now.
