THE great outrage of Monday in the
House of Representatives was the un-
paralelled ruling of the Speaker, Mr.. RAN
DALI, and his having prepared, unqucstion-
ably at the dictation of a party caucus,
speech and decision or ruling rs Speaker,
anticipating an act of legislation, prcjudg-
ing the action of the House upon merely
partisan motion. This act of the Speaker
deserves, and will receive, the condcnna-
ton Of every honest and iair-minded man.
Ii was such an act as never before
disgraced the ruling of the House
The fact that Speaker RANDALL had pre-
pared and written out set speech which
he could not and did not write in the
House, was such an act rs no Speaker Of
the House ever before perpetratcd What
would have been said had Henry CLAY.
JAMES /. ORR. NATHANIEL =. BANKS, or
JAMES G.. BLAINE ever done such thing
1t cannot be excused. 1t was high-handcd,
shameless piece Of extreme partiSanship that
will not he forgiven, and will be con-
demnrd by the people in unmistakablc
thunder tones, so that it will never,
never be repeated in that distinguished
position. Yes. it will he forever branded us
4 shame and a blot upon the name and fame
of its author. whether il be SAMUEL RAN
DALI or Democratic caucus. II was pure
~ and simply incxcusablc, unparalleled
and utterly uniustiiablc, and as such only
disgraces its author.

THE RepublicanS are ready and willing
that Secretary SHERMAN, Minister NuYE-,
and all other persons in and out of Official
position, and OF whatever party, shall be
investigated and punished if they are found
guilty Of any punishable crime. But the
Democrats propose simply and only to in
VestiGnte Republicans, and at the same time
let sclt-convictcd Democrats, like pELTuN,

The other day poorly-clad woman
appeared before a well-known and
hIghly-respected priest il Vienna, and
told him, with tears, that her husband.
silversmith, was given to drink. and
that he beat her and the children daily.
aud neglected all the duties of hus-
band and father. She asked the good
man 10 talk to her husband and en-
deavor to make him see things in a
better light. The priest promised to
see the workman and dismissed the
woman. She straightway went to
silversmith and ordered him to 90
next morning at IL o'clock to the
priests house, representing that she
was his cook, and that he wished to
buy a snuff-box The silversmith ap-
peared the next morning punctually
at the stated time with dozen silver
snuffboxes. The woman, who awaited
him in the hall, took the goods from
him, and entering the priests room,
said, "Sir, my husband is here" Tell
him to come in,' said the priest,
whereupon the woman left the room
and bade the silversmith enter. The
good father proceeded to address him
in long sermon, saying great deal
about drunkenness, wife beating and
