THOUGH Congress has adjourned
drift>wood from committee. rooms and
investigating committees still hcats
down the stream of information. The
inquiry into the expenditure of $25, 900
by the Morrison Committee OF the
House, which went to Louisiana in
1876, has not probed the depth of that
mystery further than to discover that
among the stores laid in was $500 worth
of particular brand OF whisky that is
especially grateful to the Congressional
taste. When it was found that tie
Deputy Sergeant-at-Arms who ac-
companied the committee was re-
sponsible for ordering this liquid re-
freshment at the public expense he was
promptly elevated into private life as a
Vicarious sacrifice to the offended
morality of the gentlemen who helped
to drink the whisky and their COL
leagues. He has put in the justification
that 'sthe amount paid for it and with
which the committee was regaled does
not exceed the amount paid for like
beverage to the Congressional COM
mitt. es usually appointed to attend the
funeral of deceased ex-members. !"
The sentence quoted is little obscure
in its grammar, but never mind that;
what it means is perfectly plain. 1t
will strike the country as strange
revelation that no Congressman can
die and be buried without seonsump-
tion of $500 worth OF whisky by surviv-
ing members, and it must raise the
spSr;cions that thew celahrate q select
wake somewhere behind closed doors.
Everybody admits that bereaved Re:
preventative should give vent to his
obituary grief and get back to business
as soon as possible, but people fail to
understand why he must drown his
sorrowin a barrel of whisky. Still,
there are many things connected with
Congressional ways and methods OF
which the public has not yet succeeded
in obtaining comprehensive mental
grip, and the tie between liquor and
craftsmanship is one of them.-Balto.

BELLAIRE.

The Republican primaries last Sat-
urday afternoon and evening we're well
attended, and the complete unanimity
of feeling which prevailed in all the
Wards gave evidence of strong and
united party, every member of which
will work hard for the complete sue
cess of the Republican ticket at the
coming election. The following gen.
tlemen were elected as delegates to the
Steubenville Convention Township,
Geo. NJ. Wise, Jas. F. Anderson 1st
ward, 8. II. Lee I'd ward, VIM. Coch-
ran; 81 ward, G. 8. s. Baron; 4th ward,
c. G. Crafty, A. Roeder; 9TH ward, DR..
McCulloch. Col. Poorman will be the
first choice of the delegates, but in the
event of his name being withdrawn,
although uninstructed, we think ma
jority, at least, of the delegates will
cast their votes for Gen. Riley. A
strong feeling prevails here in favor of
Col. Poorman, and should he be NOM
mated we have no doubt he will carry
both the city and township by rous-
ing maiority. -s
The picnic given by the Masonic
fraternity, on Monday, at Rodefer's

to accommodate the crowds who every
hour were passing back and forward to
and from the grounds, but President
Morgan was equal to the emergency,
and every one came home well pleased
with their days enjoyment.

teFttee HO1see0 Again.
A Saturdays special to the Cincin-
natl Gazette says that Mrs. jerks tes-
titled yesterday, and spoiled that sec
tion of "our case'' which depended
upon the existence of an original Sher-
man letter. She was on the stand for
four or five hours, first under fire from
Butler, and afterward from Mcmahon.
She was quick, sharp, self-possessed,
and quite match in repartee for either
gentlemen who questioned her. She
swore that she dictated the so-called
Sherman letter, and gave it to Weber
She never knew what became of it.
Secretary Sherman had nothing what
ever to do with it, and knew nothing
of its existence. She said that while
Anderson was the sublimest villain
that ever stood on earth. still, she real
ly thought he was honest in thinking
the so called Sherman letter genuine.
Her story of the production of the
letter was that Weber and Anderson
wanted guarantees from Sherman, as
Anderson testified, and that they
wrote the Joint note to Sherman, OF
which Anderson produced a copy, and
gave it to her to deliver. She took this
to the parlor occupied by the visiting
statesmen, and there dictated this pre-
tended Sherman letter at side desk.
She would not tell who took it from
her dictatiOn. After it was finished
she put it In an evelope and took it
back to Weber. She never delivered
the Anderson Weber note to any one.
All attempts to draw from her eny-
thing refecting upon Secretary Sher-
man, either in New Orleans or upon
the occasion of her visits here, utterly
failed. Her testimony was full OF
lively points, bat such as do not bear
directly upon the charges which the
Potter resolution contain.

WHATEVER may be the sentiments
Of his distinguished master, it is plain
that the big Danish dog which almost
invariably accompanies Prince Bis
marck has no particular affection for
the Russian statesman, Gortschakoff.
During an interview between Bis
msrck and the latter last week the dog
suddenly made most unexpected and
furious onslaught upon the Russian
stranger, who was rescued from the
wicked looking jaws only after cons
siderable trouble and al the expense
OF some bruises.
