Now the Democratic House has gone
ahead stiil further, and made another
cut Of thirty millions more, reducing the
appropriations for this Congress alone
forty-s,x millions below the estimates.
The pension appropriation was reduced
2 million and the post Office three mil
lions. The navy, for which Robson
wanted $l9. 430.0i2.59. gets $I3,54g,-
952.4O. and that is quite as much a. the
country wants to see handled BY Robe
son or Hale. The sundry civil est.
mates were SIS, 000, 900. The House
allowed SIS, 446, s07. IS, the Senate in.
creased them So, 600, 900, and II passed
81, $40, 1880. The army estimates
were $30,OOG,OO0. The House cut
them down to $2l, 993, 9z9, and the
Senate raised them 10 $26, lbs. $40 so.
The House succeeded in every instance
in reducing appropriations.
THE CARPEr-BAG SENAroRs.-Only
four carpet-baggers now remain to rep
resent that corrupt crew in the Senate,
and they are among the worst speci-
mems Of the tribe. Spencer, Dorsey.
Patterson and Conover form the quar-
tet. Since the rights of Gov. Drew
were perfected BY the Supreme Court
IN Florida, Conover seems to have sur
rendered to the new order Of things,
and processes to have accepted the sit
uation. Spencer has no more right to =
seat in the Senate than any other ad-
venturer who walks the streets. He
was elected by the Republican majori-
ty Of that body and mob in Alabama,
called a Legislature. Dorsey got h..
place at the close Of the Ring rule in
Arkansas. and Patterson bought his
with the proceeds Of Legislative corrup-
ton. In two years more they will all
disappear together, and return to the
vulgar obscurity and low associations
from which they sprung. The Senate
will be purified by their absence, and
restored to something Of its ancient dig
nifty by the appearance Of representa-
tive men.
CHARLES O'CoNoR's WooIyG.-The
Washington correspondent Of the Cleve-
land Herald tells the story of Charles
OConor's wooing in the following in

beautiful widow of Commodore Nc.
Cracker of our navy returned from
abroad after her husbands death, and
finding her financial affairs IN a compli-
Gated state, went to Mr.. O'Conor TO get
bis legal advice in d,sentangling them.
MIR. O'Conor, upon examination. dis
covered that the Commodore had died
insolvent, and the beautiful widow was
left to the cold mercies Of selfish world
without a penny to call her own. This
he was obliged to break to her, where
upon she held up her hands in piteous
u:S"as crying. On, MT. ~ ConOr,
what shall do' who have lived in
luxury all my hfe!" Madam" said
the great lawyer, "the best advice can
give you is to marry me-" Whereup-
on they were married.
