The Nations Disgrace.

\ Washington special to the y. y.
Tribune of Thursday morning says:
The habi,ual drunkenness Of certain
Democratic members of the House of
Representa- ives is assuming the pro-
portions OF a national scandal. Oue
member appeared in his place to-day
in such a STAKE of INVESTIGATION a. to be
wholly unable to conduct himself like
4 gentleman. The presiding officer,
MI. Cox, afler yainiy attempting TO
bring him to order by a vigorou, use of
the gavel, WA obliged to order the Ser
gent-at-Arms to interfere: aud it was
only when Il number of Democratic
members gathered around and succeed
ed in drawing their associate into the
'cloak-room, thatit was possible for the
business of the lIouse to proceed.

owe are flaid that this State debt
will burst the Democratic party aaun-
der in the coming campaign. We hear
thy wish that it could be removed from
the politics of the State. Why can't
the politicians, on both sides, agree to
leave the question to u direct vote Of
The people, without allowing it TO be
M element Of discord in the gu5erna-
lorial race this ycaa? The way things
are drifting now, it is almost absolutely
definitely settled thatthcrc will be two

result will be defeat to both and disas-
ter TO the party.'"''

When Was Christ Born.

Dionysus EXiguus m;stook the year,
and probably the dayand the mon.h.
As to the year, Christ was cert tinly
born before the death Of l.crOd the
Great (see Matthew. Now herod tie
Great Gitd in the year Of Rome 40 or
$50. Some cbronologists have atteTp-
ed to make a nearer approximation to
The year of Christ's birth by the help
Of Luke's remark iii, 223) that jesus
was al o It thirty years old in the flf-
teenth year of the reign OF Tibcrius
Caesar. Tiberlus became sole Empcr-
or in August, in the year Of Rome 767.
Add the fourteen years of Tiberius'
reign, and it appears that Christ was
about thirty years of age in the years of
Rome GSl. But there is some reason TO
think that Augustus MADE Tibcriu>
partner in the government two years
before, that is, in 765 plus II. In this
case TiberiuS fifteenth year would be
779 o. the year of Rome. Now if II
Savior was about thirty years old in
the year of Rome, ISL. He was born
about the year of Rome, 7jl. If in the
year of Rome 10, then He WAS born
about the year OF Rome 7+2.-Christian
