nothing worthy of note occurred.
In the Senate Pinch backs case was up, and
Mr. Morton made one of his characteristic
speeches-full of bitterness lin answer to Mr..
Thurman, and while he always speaks with 8
pecu!:sr vigor, he failed to meet the unsnswer-
able objections presented by Mr. Thurman. AT
the conclusion Of his speech the Senate went
into executive session. and Pinchbsck remained
''out III the cold"
The Sergeant at Arms of the House to-day sp-
pointed three policemen at the Capitol in place
of like number removed. Among these ap-
pontments is colored man from Arkansas, d
staunch Democrat who declare. that he was
mainly instrumental in carrying that State or
the Democracy at the last election. 1t is said
that he will 60 to New Hampshire next week TO
stump the State il the interest of the Democrats.
The Sergeant at Arms is compimented upon
this appointment.
The store room of the House Of Representa-
tives was robbed on Saturday night CT y number
OF articles, notwithstanding the vigilance of the

and engraving bureau and the consequent fur.

might be expected, considerable hutter, and

tom of the matter Whatever may be the cause
the poor employees will be the sufferers. q.

The saddest thought incident to the death
and burial OF the late Reverdy johnson is not
evoked by the sympathy We feel for his be-
rcaved family, for he died tul Of years and
honors, but is induced by the fact made by his
death SO solemnly apparent, that the few re-
naming statesmen and jurists of whom the
whole country can be proud, who esteem prln-
cple so highly that partisan expedicncy fades
into ipsignifcance before it, are rapidly going
to meet their reward, and that their places are
filled By men so much their Interiors.
