News Items.

We clip the following items from
the Galveston News, of the 5th inst:
The stock of cotton at interior
towns last evening was 71,47O
bales, against 69,389 bales last
year.
According to the commissioned
of agriculture, the number Of hogs
in the United States, on the first
of January, was 55,691, 600, of
which 21,9l5,80 were owned in
thirteen western states.
United States Marshal Kerns,
of Philadelphia, in his testimony
before the Wallace committe, says
he he'd 773 deputies under pay
during the last presidential cleo
zion, and that they were entirely
unnecessary.
A letter from London, published
in Boston, says seventy steam
ships are now being constructed
in the ship-yards of England and
Scotland, to be fitted up expressly
for the transportation of live stock
from America to England.
The socialist vote in Chicago,
at the election on Tuesday last,
was 10000. Their picnic last
week netted $4,000, which is to
be used in armipg and equipping
their military companies. Their
wild doctrines and rapid spread
are beginning to create uneasiness.
A Washington correspondent
credits a cabinet officer, in this
case probably Evarts, with saying
that the president will not feel
called upon to interpose his veto,
unless the republican representa-
tives and senators make clear in
debate the wrong and harm of the
legislation proposed by the demo-
Gratis.
A proposition is before the Illi-
nois legislature asking for con-
stitutionai amendment providing
that sessions of the general assem-
bly, for the purpose of law-making
shall be beld but once in six years,
but that the biennial session shall
be continued for the purpose OF
making the fegula, appropriations
and tax leyies.
The Washington Post sums up
the position of the Republicans
in paragraph. When the repub-
Iicans controlled the senate and
the house, and Andrew Johnson
showed himself to be disobedi-
ent president, with an eye to the
the stalwarts contend
ed that congress was the executive.
Now that the democrats control
the senate and the house, and Mr..
Hayes is in the white house, the
stalwarts contend that the presi-
dent is the Legislature.

Gen. Walker, superintendent Of
the census is anxious that we
should initiate the example OF
England in the way of taking q
census and publish the census OF
1880 within a very short time after
it is taken. The census OF 1860
was not published until 1868, and
the census OF 1850 only appeared
In 1869. There is no excuse for
this hardness. 1t takes away all
the true value OF q census, and in
stead of making il a feature OF the
condition of the country, leaves it
valuable only from historic point
of yiew,-N, o, Democrat.

that resounds to the utmost corners of
the chamber. Then,he walks slowly
out at the door on h ; left. At this
Senator Edmunds swakens, and slow

old Jug and wink sOlemnly ut each
other as they refresh. They return to
their seats by different doors, and in

Thurman arrives, and any vote Is be-

tween the two men-the two sblest in
public life-is that one is shrewd
subtle trickster in political maneuvers,
while the other is blunt, honest and
powerful.
That old veteran General Shields,
now occupies Il seat in the Senate,
though his term only lasts till March
4lh. Tie is a hero of two wars, and
has been Senator from three States,
Minnesota, Illnoif and Missouri. In

with Steven \. Douglass. They were
both elected to the legislature at the
same time. aud chumm,d and roomed
together. Later they were at the
same time Auditor and Seer etary of
State respectively, and afterwards
both on the Supreme Bench. Then
both were sent to Washington, all

Shields evidently feels natural in the
Senate. But that body has not done
great deal of real work this week.
The House has spent some time in
Committee of the Whole on the Post
Office appropriation bill. Many
amendments to the bill as reported by
the appropriation committee have been
made. A wide difference of opinion
exists among the Democrats in regard
TO the postal appropriations, some of
them holding that it is the duty of the
Governor to furnish ample facilities
for mail communication and that to do
this appropriations must be increased
rs the country grows; others hold that
unless restrictions are placed upon tie
by curtailing appropria-
tons, the department will run into

ENTIRELY Too HIGu.-The long
session of each Congress usually lasts
ABOUT six months. Allowing six work
ing days to the week, and substract-
ing fortnight for the holidays, this
gives about 40 days for the long ses-
sion. The short session only lasts
three months. and abstracting the holi-
days when the members are at home,
numbers but sixty-six working days
For each of these sessions the men,
bers of Congress draw $4,000 and
mileage. For the long session this
makes an average of more than s35
per day, and for the short session $50
per day.

Protest.

The inhabitants of Wyandottc,
Kansas, have had presented to Con-
gress protest against the advent OF
negro eXoditcs into that State. They
say they do not want thousands OF
half clad, ignorant, poverty-stricken
people hurled on them. This looks
like the land tceming with equal civil
and political rights for the negro,
don't it? John Browns son-his
soul is not marching on yet-says he
will lead the movement of the colored
people TO Kansas. l'But we opine the
people OF Wyandotte and other Kan
sas localities will perform for him the
Office which Gov. Wise performed for
his father. And then his soul can
join his fathers in that march which
will never cease as long as o juvenile

with large engraved head, and con-

''But Why can't you furnish you,
