A report was current in Washing
ton, Saturday, that General Rosser,
hearing the screams Of a lady in a
private room at a restaurant, burst
open the door and found Congress
man Acklin, OF Louisiana, in a COM
promising position with lady, and
kicked him out. Both gentlemen
have left the city for their respect
i've homes to arrange their affairs for
such determination OF the result
between them, as accords with their
views OF the responsibility of men to
one another. The lady, Mr.. Acklin
admits to have been seriously COM
promised, and Processes willingness
to make her the only reparatiou In
his power. Acklen was recently
seated by the Democratic majority

Third Louisiana district in the place
of Chester 81. Darrall, the Republi-

A comparison OF these two state
ments shows
/. That $40 millions OF the inter-
est bearing debt have been paid, and
the debt bearing no interest has re-
NAMED nearly stationary. having in
creased less than three millions.
2. That the average rate OF inter-
est has been reduced from 6.3 to SO
per cent. and the annual burden has
been diminished by 81 millions, more
than one-third OF the amount In
1865.
These are the results OF the first
two principles, and they need nc
apology. For the third, our paper
dollars, in 1866, were worth 6S cents

lars in gold. They are now practi-
cally at par.
The government, at the close OF
the war, was in the condition OF q
wealthy corporation which has met
with great and sudden losses, and
has been compelled to use its credit
to the utmost to procure ready mon
ey. The rules which have guided
the financial policy OF the last thir-
teen years, have been the ordinary
rules OF business prudence,-1. Meet
all engagements punctually and fair
ly. 2. Improve the credit so earned
and maintained, to make better
terms. 1t Is because we have paid
off $40 millions OF our maturing obi
cations, as agreed, that we have
been able to reduce our average in
terest rate from 6.3 per cent. and
that our demand notes have advan-
ced from 6S cents to par.
Financial jugGlers and miracle
workers may promise better results
than these, but the worlds history Is
full OF warnings against their schemes

It Is said that the Committee on
Enrolled Bills with the single ex-
ception of Mr.. Rainney, the colored
member were so drunk during the
last night Of tho session Of Congress
that they could do nothing. and the
entire labor of the committee was
devolyed on Rainney. We are sorry
to have to state that Mr.. Hamilton.
Of the Fort Wayne district is chair
man of that committee, and was re-
ported unfit for duty" There were
a number OF members drunk. and we
suppose that it will now be in order
for them to excuse themselves for
some of the work that was done, and
some that was LETT undone during
that last night, because they were
drunk and "unf1t for business" Then
we think it will be in order for the
people to excuse them from perfor-
ming or attempting to perform bust
ness for the Nation In the future.

Their cowardly deed had made no unpleas-
ant impressions upon their minds; they
were incapable of feeling. On their trial
their guilt was demonstrated beyond the
shadow of doubt. They were convicted
and sentenced to death. During their in
generation they remained impenitent,
suffered no remorse. They hoped almost
to the last for Communication of their SEN
tence; and it was only when that hope
was abandoned, when the terrible prospect
of their impending doom had cowed them

Several persons were executed in
different parts Of the United States
last Friday. Besides Sherry and Con-
molly, in Chicago. John G. Burns was
hung at Paris, ILL.,. for the murder Of
officer Birdwell. IN October last. He
mounted the scaffold smoking q CT
gar, and met death as calmly and
cooliy as he would an old friend. ia
cob Levels, at Little Rock, Arkansas,
hung for the murder of another coll
ored man, assembled the steps to the
scaffold as firmly, and with as little
emotion as a man would walk to his
dinner, and being asked IL he had
anything to say, replied: "only one
thing, prepare to meet me in glory"
Perry Bosher, hanged at Chillicothe,
Ohio, for the murder OF Mickey and
his wife last October, would not per-
NIT any religious services, but went
to the scaffold quietly, and remained
defiant to the last. The execution of
Edward II. Oastley, for the murder
of his cousin at Frederick, Nd, COM
pletes the list. Another was to have
been hanged at Fort Smith, Ark,
but two hours before the time for
the execution, dispatch was re-
ceived suspending the execution.daif

Congress has adjourned and the
country breathes easier. Everybody
feels glad that no great harm was
done by the schemers who had the
majority in the lower House. They
have another short session OF three
months, and the people should see to
it that it is the last of the kind. If
the fact that the Democrats have a
small majority in one branch Of Con-
gress is sufficient to keep everybody
uneasy lest they shall in some way
ruin the country by their foolishness,
the people will certainly not entrust
them with power again.
