Dom Piatt, of the Washington
Capital, thinks that the members of
of Congress should have $4,000 n
year, and such other assistance as
would enable them to live a life of
comparative leisure. There are
thousands of men ready and anxious
to devote their time and talents in
the National Legislature for half the
money. Why be extravagant.

We observe that friend Tippett Of
the Point Pleasant Register, is ont in
favor Of Charleston as the permanent
Capital, and says the Third District
will give a majority Of $1,000 for that
location. This may be possible; but
we can assure brother Tippett that
the First and Second Districts will
nearly double that majority in favor
of Clarksburg.- WeLlsburq Ners.
That's right, whistle to keep up
your courage, Your assurance Mr.
Nec, don't amount to a continental,
Charleston will have a majority in
the First District, and we believe in
the Second District, also. Even your
own county of Brooke will give a
majority of her votes for Charleston.
You are no. posted, Bro. Glass.
Charleston will be the permanent
Capital on the First Tuesday in Au-
gust, so far at least, as the election,
is concerned.

Statues reads as follows:
"Whenever any stamped box con,

it shall be the duty or the person in

utterly the stamp thereon. And any
person who wilfully neglects or re-
fuses to do so, shall, be fined not ex'

The National Republican newspa
per is the most unhappy organ in

Hayes from the White House, be
lieving that all the members of the
Louisiana returning board would nov
certify the electoral vote of that State
for Tilden and Hendricks; and or
Monday morning, in double-leadet
editorial it calls upon Secretary Sher
man to give up the Treasury portifo
lilo, urgingas reason that the present
financial policy Of the Secretary j
carried any further will cause troub
lie, and if persisted in for any length
of time will bankrupt the country
The republican concludes by calling
upon Hayes torequest the immediate
resignation of the Secretary. Inas
much as it is pretty well known thai
Sherman is the power behind thu
throne, having appointed himself t.
his present position, the last remark
of the Republican savors slightly o
the ridiculous. John Sherman won
resign as long as the Fraudulent Pres

She can not get to the Mcditerran-

United States. Russia wants an un
DISTRACTED outlet to the sea, such rs
we have to the Gulf. And she will
never cease the contest until she ac-

what was known as the Crimean war.

CONGRESS YESTERDAY.

In the United States Senate yesterday /,
Mr.. Davis, of West Virginia, called up
his resolution in relation to the appoint-
ment OF a committee to Impulse into dis
crepancies in the Treasury Department,
and spoke IN favor of his resolution; an
amendment was adopted providing that
the committee called for should not ex-
pire with the end of the present session.
Pending discussion on the resolution the
Senate adjourned until Monday next,

tive to the Paris exposition it appropri-

sum appropriated is S1.56e 623. A resolu-
was adopted instrucing the military
Committee to inquired into the military
management of the Texas frontier and
whatadditional forceisnecessary toprotect
the people of Texas from Mexican raid

act was called up and debated until five

WHEN the army appropriation bill
passed the Senate on Thursday number
of Democratic votes appeared to be conve-

against the increase on the passage of the
bill appear inconsistent. He did not make
that motion, however, but moved to nom
concur in 1T. We consider it a fatal error to
recruit SO large an army at this time when
the country has scarcely use for half the
troops 1t has already. 1t is merely sad
ding tax upon the people-merely keep

There seems to be strange connec-
ton between the Army bill and the Pa
cifc Railroad bill. 1t is just possible
that the Texas members of Congress
have voted to increase the army with the
hope that the Radical members will in
return vote for the Pacific Railroad and
a subsidy. We think this road ought to
be built. But whether the me has
come for building it or not; or whether
the government ought. to assist, and how
much 1t ought to contribute, are matters
that should be considered for themselves
and by themselves. 1t is hardly likely
that the soldiers will be made to work on
the road; but they could be made to con.
tribute very materially in protection by
being distributed along the line of it.

SUGAR BEETs.-Mr. David Ireland
brought to our office this morning a SUI
gar beet that weighed nine pounds when
pulled. Mr.. S. Cunningham, who tills
Mr.. Ireland's farm, near Newark, raised
about fifty bushels of these beets on a
very small piece of ground; the smallest
beets weighed two pounds. They were
produced on clay subsoil, rather heavy.
They are fed to the cows. Mr.. Cum
ningham SAYS they have fine flavor and
are very good for table use. '

As like causes produce like effects it is
not strange to see the war party in each
section of the country naming the men
for the most distinguished Offices and ell
evating them. As this was done to a
great extent North, so it is now done in
the South where brave and accomplish,
ed Confederate is so formidable candi-
date that no civilian need be run against
him. The consequence is that both par
ties, where there are two parties, are
naming Confederate soldiers; and both
parties here have been running Union
soldiers. 1t is pretty near time this were
played out. But so long as it is contin-
ned men like Dunn will be preferred to
civilians.

INITIATING EURoPE.-Mr Benz. Wade
declares without hesitancy that he "dont

ministration than that OF Grant" He
ought next to assert that Washington
himself was not ga bigger man" physical
ly, morally and intellectually, than "old

side OF the water, where they pretend to
think as he does.-Bdu. Sun
