Washington Correspondence New York Times.
Two or three incidents connected with
Mr.. Morrissey's first official appearance in
Washington are not unworthy of mention.
The day after he arrived here to take his
place in Congress he was seated in the bar
Der shop of Wizards hotel, when :'Beau
Hickman we'll known as the "champion
gentleman beat of America approached
him and said, ':Mr. Morrissey, permit me,
sir, to congratulate you upon your election
to Congress, to position, sir, which have
no doubt you will adorn.'' s'rhavs not
bad,'' replied Morrissey, s.but what does 1t
cost?' ''Oh, only 81 replied Hickman
''That's cheap said Morrissey, and then
handed him the money without another
word.
Shortly after he came to the capital Mr..
Morrissey learned that Mr.. Colfax, who was
then Speaker of the House, was an inveterate
smoker. Acting upon this knowledge he
went to him and presenting neatly papered
parcel, said: "Mr. Speaker, want to talk
to you about my place on the committees,
but before I say word let me give you the
best box of cigars in America ssAh, yes,''
said Mr.. Colfax, very much embarrassed,
shut you know-that is to say-all the i'm
portant places belong by right to the old
members Certainly said Morrissey in
his own blunt, hearty way, CHATS just what
l thought, and what want you to do for me
is to put me at the tail end of some COM
mittee that never does any work. ooh,
that's easy enough said Coliax, evidently
much relieved, 'I'll do just what you want. .
BE kept his word, and Mr.. Morrissey was
appointed to the committee on revolutionary
pensions, which meets once in about five years.
Morrissey, unlike most of his associates,
was not ambitious to figure prominently in
the Congressional Directory, and when
Major Ben Perley Poore, the ever popular
compiler Of the famous work, called on him
for short sketch Of his life and asked what
his profession was, the newly elected Con-
gresham said, with some bitterness. sWell,
I suppose you had better put me down as a
faro DEALER
ooh, you don't mean it's said Major
Poore. "Can't you give me some other oc-
cupation?''
Eyes, of course can, replied Mozrissey
"Give me credit for my old trade if you will;
call me an iron molder, for that's what I am
if | am anything And he appears in the
Directory as an iron molder.

II GrO,Cing Sentiment.
[Syracuse Courier.1

u.
1t is interesting to note the growth of the
sentiment in favor of getting at the bottom
facts of the great conspiracy. The masses
have been sound on this question all the
time. ~s'Eo compromise with fraud, no con-
donement of its authors or benefciaries,',
has been their sentiment. The reflex of
that sentiment is seen now in Congress and
in the press.

What of that? The investigation is
none the less desirable on that account.

Mr.. Murat Ha!stead, editor of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, arrived in New York on
Monday, from Liverpool, after having been
absent month. He spent two days in Lon
don, and six in Paris. Mr.. Halstead says
that the facade that Gen. Mccormick has
put up in the American section at the ex-
position would make a good front for a
lager-beer saloon. sits the damuedest look
ing thing says Mr. Halstead, unlike any
thing that has ever been seen before. Each
nation was to build its own facade, to show
its peculiar architecture. Little Bilgium
spent one million francs on her s, while Gen.
Mccormick had only $4,000. It's enough
to make an American weep. In their despair
the commissioners say they are going to have
it painted, but if they lay on the paint an
inch thick it will BE- nothing bat toard
fence" He says the French did not know
what on earth to do with one hundred and
forty American commissioners woo had
nothing to do, SO they were politely turned
over to Gen. Mccormick, who has his hands
full taking care Of them.

night Of the 18th day of April, twelve years
ago.
In 1866 John Taylor lived near DanviIle,
KY, and enjoyed the luxuries of good health
little care, fair means of living, and large
family. His son, William Taylor, was in
dicted by the grand jury of Boyle county for
robbing country dwelling and stealing some
goods. One of the principal witnesses in his
case was Mrs. Mary Bolton. widow, who
lived in farm house. with no other com
panion than little granddaughter. On the
morning of the 18th of April, that year. the
old lady was found dead in her bed, with
bullet hole in her head and the bedcIothes
drenched with blood. At first the horror
little granddaughter, whom fright for a long
time rendered mute, said that she awoke
about II o'clock the night before, and saw
two men in the room whom she readily
recognized as John Taylor and his son Viii
liam. She knew their presence meant mis-
chief, and she quietly covered herself up
with the bedclothes. She heard the rifle shot
that killed her grandmother. but was
paralyzed, and SO gave no sign. The men
did not discover her.
At once the father and son were placed
under arrest. The prisoners were forcibly
taken from the officers, carried to the woods,
and hung to tree. The crowd remained
only long enough to complete their work, as
they supposed. By some agency-possibIy
through defect in the rope-the old man
was allowed to fall to the ground shortly
after the mob left, and there he lay for
several hours. He finally recovered the use
of his limbs but not of his mind, and went
wandering. He was recaptured and es-
capped. He made for Illinois and found
safety in the swamps of Egypt for nearly a
year. Thence he went to Cooper county,

VALLEY RAILWAY SHOPS, Now that the com'

ofT:r as point for the location OF the railway
shops. In the first place, we are in the center Of
the coal fields, it being possible to deliver both
coal and iron in Canton much cheaper than any
other city along the road. And in the second
place, we have shops splendid Ball shops
filled with machinery, and located within a
hundred feet or SO of the surveyed line. They
can be bought, we are reliably informed, for one
fourth the cost of new buildings. We are salts
fed that no other city along the line can ofel
such advantages.
