Just now be of peculiar interest to the

MULLGAN, of the Boston platoon of the
Mulligan Guards arrived at the Capitol at
Washington, about / o'clock, on Wednes-
day, and although he was well known,
owing to his elastic system of giving testi-
mony, no one cared to be in his company
or even speak TO him. The disgraceful
role he played, as the tool of those anxious
to "catch Blaine" is not forgotten in the
memory of decent men, and even those
who used him now treat him as a creature
not worthy of tolerance.

The Cincinnati Enquirer prints another
chapter in its history of Tilden. The gist
of it lies in the assertion that he sold the
use of his name to an Indiana railroad
enterprise, few years ago, charging there
for the sum of $40, 200.

THE Democratic House may compel the
suspension of foreign intercourse, shut up
the Federal courts, stop the mails, and all

enough to make up the first section. They
may " economize" before the people until
after the election, but they know well
enough that they are giving notes on long
time that must and will be paid.

TIE BOUNTY BUNCoMBE

The soldiers bounty bill, as it passed
the House, is substantially the same rs that
passed by the last act of Congress, but by
some delay did not reach the President in
the proper time for his signature, and in
this way failed to become a law. The most
remarkable thing about this legislation is
that the party that fought its passage in
the former Congress are now its boldeSt
champions and such men as Holman and
Randall the most prominent actors in its
favor. Perhaps there never was such a
lamentable exhibition of

Ex.CoNFEpERATE CONGRESS,

The interest taken here in the st. Louis
Convention is very circumscribed. There
is not the wide spread enthusiasm exhibited
as during the session at Cincinnati. What
does it teach Simply that the next
President was named at Porkopois, and
that the st. Louis affair is quite unneces-
sary and superiuous. The dispatches re-
ceived here from St. Louis all agree that
New York, as usual at National Conven-
lions, makes the most noise. The Ti!den
and antiTilden fight is the occasion of
much bad feeling, bad whisky drinking,
tisticuffs and bar room broils a pretty
party for reform indeed.

regret is that he was not born twins; for
he could then have mado just twice as

The grand jury has reported that
nearly $4,000 of the funds of Chester

for the recovery of the amount.
- Ex-Governor Joseph E. Brown, of
Georgia, said few days since in the
course of a speech before body of yisi-
tors from Cincinnati: "I am glad this war
is over, and want it understood that
am opposed to the next civil war, and
am not afraid of the next foreign war;"
1t is understood that General Sher-
man will probably remove his headquar-
ters to Washington again, and that he
will, as General Of the Army, have once
more the control of the Adjutant Gener-
ais Department, with which he will
probably be content, as this gives him
the proper military control Of the detail
and discipline of the army.
: Mr.. Blaine loses no opportunity to
