would have heen carried il allowed to be
put, the Republicans resorted to all the
strategy Of delay, bringing uP. first the re-
solution from the committee on Privileges

A GALLERY lNcIDENr.-The Wash.
ingtor correspondent of the Philadel.
phia Record of the 81, says; "While
Senator Patterson was delivering that
speech last Friday afternoon, his wife
and daughter sat in the gallery which
is partitioned off for members iami-
lies. BY an inviting performance
on the part of an usher, party from
the Executive Mansion, including one
OF the Presidents sons and two ladies,
were placed in the seat alongside Of
Mrs. Patterson, instead Of being seat
cd in the more exclusive diplomatic
gallery. Bows of recognition were
exchanged by the ladies. Mrs. Pat
terson endeavored repeatedly to open
conversation with the White House
party, with no further success than to
receive polite attention and mute re
sponses in the way of intelligent
glances and modest gestures. After
her husband had made one OF his
points against the administration, Mrs
Patterson, addressing the lady next tC
her, tried to elicit some word indlca
ting appreciation or approval, whicl
was responded to by q significant
touch of the fingers to the lips, as if t'
say; My lips are sealed as to to that.
There was no subsequent communica
ton between the two parties"

CLOSELY lNTEREsTING.-The Phila-
delpbia Record, in abiding to Wash.
ington affairs, says "The admission
of both Kellogg and Butler to seats in
the United States Senate leaves the
question of political supremacy undis-
turbed. The Democrats, however,
will gain a vote when Mr. Eustis is
admitted from Louisiana, as he un.
doubtedly will be on the favorable re.
port of the Committee on Privileges
and Elections. Counting Senator Da-
Wis with the Democrats, the vote Of
tho parties will then be thirty.ninc
Republicans to thiriy.seven Democrats
AS matters now stand, this pats Sena-
tor Patterson, of South Carolina, in a
position of great power. He can, by
changing his vote TO one side or the
other, carry victory along WIN him
unless Senator Sharon can DO persuad
ed to come to Washington and relieve
bis party from such distressing pre-
dicament. There is an imminent prob
ability that patteraon's seat will be
very soon made vacant, either BY hi
voluntary retirement or by his expul
sion. His place would be filled by Q
Democrat. 1t is not among the i'm
possibilities that Mr.. Kelloggs Sena.
lorial career may be terminated in 0
similar manner There is no differ
ence between him and his fellow.car
pet-bagger than this-that be is the big
ger rascal of the two, and deeper and
more dangerous"

MAD ALL OvER.-The Chicago Iri
bne, one of the leading Radical organs
of the Northwest, is dreadfully angry
at Blaine because he paired off with
Grover, Of Oregon. The editor breaks
out in this way:
"Mr. Blaine, II he was going into the pairing
business. should have forced 6rover to pair OF
with sharon, and lot those two men, one fearing
the effect Of bankruptcy and the other Of bribery
nset each other. His sudden outburst Of chiy.
airy is suspicious, to say the least, and need.
some explanation, lest the pubic arrive at tn,
conclusion, notw twithstanding his theatrical dem
onstraiions, that ho Is not particularly anxioui
to save the Senate from falling In Democratic
hands"
Well, Senator Grover and the resi-
of the Democrats can certainly stand
caudle-lecture OF this character, i
the gentleman afflicted with "theatri
cal demonstrations" can. We hop,
the editor of the TriJmewill not blame
the gentleman from Maine for all th,
crookedncss now being enacted with
in their party lines. 1t is always bes,

The latest news from Europe are to
the effect that the Russians aud Rou

~. Osman was wounded on the 10th

II much heavier blow TO tho Turkish
Empire than the loss of Kars, in Asia,
and with tho loss of both these grand

will be compelled to sue for peace, or
double their diligence in the fighting

The Russians being in full command
at Kars and Plevna causes great re

une states that several Pennsylvania
Republicans called on Secretary Evarts

were informed that . change had not
been definitely determined upon. Some
body cheated Frank out of the Radi

last Summer, and he has bcen unhappy
every since and will not be otherwise
until he gets an Office.
