he retired. But Speaker Randall chose good time
Tor him to DO absent and has all the day and night
all through the session, shown himself the vigant |
opponent Of frauds aud wastcu appropriations. This

The floor was very much crowded to- night with |
people anxious for various appropriations. Tho ses-
sion is likely to last n night. aud spite Of the vig
lanco OF tho Speaker and members, no doubt 4
some jobs will creep through But tho Con-

has been brought before 1t. Speaker Randall,
who was thought likely to DO easy going man, has
shown himself ever since he assumed the chair vigi-
liant and innexibo against every Kind OF Jobbery, and
he deserves credit Tor this, and has made every
respect an excellent presiding officer, consp,cuously
lair in his rulings and wise in the appointment Of his
com mtees.
