we have Just been engaged III the
equally Pleasant task of entertaining
two of those Southern men who par
ticulally distinguished themselves
hy attendance upon their duties dur
ing the time of suffering. dan ger aud
death. Hon Casey Young and Mr..
J. VI. Heating, the latter editor OF
the Memphis .ijY'al. had hand
SOME reception rendered them on
saturday evening by Washingtoniars
at one of our principal hotels.
When 20 many men left home, fam
lily and duty to escape to places Of
safety, these two Lot only remained
but devoted themselves under cir
cumstances of peculiar hardship to
the benefit Of others. They richly
deserve all that was said of them at
t.. reception.
Mr.. Hayes has evidently adopted
the belief that financial discussion at
an early day of the session will be
prejud!cial 10 the scheme for resump-
ton on January LIST, as his message,
to be read in Congress to-day, con-
tains no recommendation OF lcSisla-
ton on the subject of silver, though
it is known that until lately he in
tended to treat of that subject.
Thoughtful men of both parties are
willing that such discussion shall be
postponed.
The Greenbackers are now having
conference here. Not enough has
been done, or viii De, probably, for
several days, to determine the course
to be pursued hereafter. MIR. March
of Maine, elected as Greenbacker
to the next Congress in place of
Eugene Hale, is here, and is of opin-
ion that union can be formed be-
tween the Democrats and the "Third
Party" which will ensure victory in
1880.
In the lively radical fight going
on in Kansas, as to a successor to
Senator ingalls,, who retires on
MARCH 4th, and whose place will be
filled in January, there has been
considerable interest felt here, from
the fact that Senator ingalls, was
charged with receiving a money,
consideration for his vote at the last
session on the bill giving certain
Government guarantee to District of
Columbia 3.65 bonds. There are
now letters in the city said to have
been written by the Senator, which
convict him of having sold for cash
various Federal offices in Kansas.
If the letters are genuine Mr.. ingalls,
should not only be refused further
honors by the people of his State,
but compelled to resign the position
he now holds. Since the palmy
days of redicalism, when cadetships
at West Point had regular prices
among the lobbyists and shysters
here, there has been no such barter
and sale of positions as the opponents
of Senator ingalls, propose to exhibit
in a pamphlet soon to be published.

LOBBYING CONGRESS. Time was
when lobbying was considered Il
mean thing, a thing to be ashamed
of and kept private. Now it is a
regular business "a paying one. tool
an avocation, profession. the
amount done and the influence exert
ed by it is marvellous; that is, if any
thing can he called marvellous in
these days of corruption and bribery.
Every bill and measure has its lob
byis,s, from a Presidential impeach-
ment scheme down to the selling Of
Mrs. Fasse.t's painting Of the Elec-
torai Commission. A deal of lobby
ing has been going on among Con-
eressmen and newspaper correspond
ehts, who are supposed TO influence
their country constituents largely. in
favor of this picture. Mrs. Fasse,t
wants the Government to buy it for
S20, 600 and it will probably do so,
therefore We may expect the great
historical painting to b. hung in the
Capitol at no very distant day. The
artist has faithfully copied the room
wherein the Commission sat, and
its appointments, the faces of the
most prominent personages engaged
and those of many noted visitors,
writer's, etc. The scene is laid on
the day when Secretary Evarts made
his great speech before the Commits
sion and his is the prominent figure
in the foreground. Lobby is king,
and rules with the sway of despot.
FRASER FIsHERIEs.-Capt. Pittend-
right, fishery overseer, has furnished
the following statistics with reference
to the various fisheries on Fraser riv-
er, for the season just brought to a
close. He says that 225 boats of all
kinds, worth nearly $4,000, were
employed, using nearly $4,000
worth of nets, and giving employ
ment to close upon $500 men. AS
o result we have 5000, 900 lbs. of
canned fish, and also 800 gallons
of herring oil valued at so cents q
gallon. The increased development
of this important resource of the pro-
vince cannot fail to be gratifying.

The Hartford Times Of Aug. 80 says /:
"The Meriden correspondent Of the
Times sends us samples of ears of corn,
taken from field in that vicinity, which
have been ruined by . devouring pest,
and with them samples Of the bug which
does the mischief. It is a good-sized
six-leggcd, evil-looking bug, rather
larger and much tlatter than the potato
bug; in color brown, and having a
wide body and very small head, the lat
terprovided with pair of mall anten-
nae, or sfeelers.' The creature begins
his ravages at the tip-end Of the ear Of
corn, and devours the kernels as he
works onward towards the butt--leav-
ing in his track only dirty mess Of
brown husks Of the separate kernels,
after having devourcd the substance.
Our correspondent in Burlington, q To-
cality perhaps II or Is miles northwest
Of Meriden, sends us an account OF the
alarming ravages Of new pest there,
which may be this same creature. Our
Burlington correspondent says fields of
corn are ruined almost In q single day,
and, further, that acres Of grass land
will sud denly turn brown and dead, and
the turf itself can he raked off-the roots
having all been cut by the ravages Of
something which the Burlington farm
ers believe to be the same bug that ruins
the corn"
