There is great deal of unpleasant com .
ment in England regarding the circum-
stances attending the Duke of Connaugbt' g
marriage. Mr.. Gladstone, the most dis.
tinguished of English statesmen, was not
invited to the wedding, and it is reported
that the slight was intentional. The queen
is said TO have remarked 1t is nv sons

shall invite my own friends" Her m,i.

The FOrty.Sixth Congress.

The House of Representatives came TO a
vote on the army bill Saturday passing il
with rider attached by vote of 1jS 10
1872. The House then adjourned till yes.
,erday when it began work on the legisla.
tive appropriation bill and had eighty
members set down TO speak on the latter
bill.
The greenbackers voted with the demo-
cra,s mostly. only Kelley. Barlow ami
Fursythe going with the republicans.
There will be a long debate over the army
bill in the Senate. The main fight, how
ever will come when the attempt is made
TO do away with the federal supervision Of
elections where members of congress are
chosen.
There were many imprisoned speeches
made on both sides in the House. The
chief debaters on the republican side were
Garfield, Robson, Frye and llawley, and
among the democrats Chalmers, Black
burn, Hurd and Tucker, AMI this may be
said of the debate that how ever bitter and
partisan it may have been it was IN able
ole on both sides. Several southern
members were very injudicious in their
rem trks and seem to have been u little
careless of their facts Notwithstanding
james Freeman Clarke's faith in their
truthfIlness.
The Senate Just now is debating the
ques ion of the admission of Charles Bell
us senator from New Hampshire. The
committee on elections by a party vote
reported against admitting him. But tie
Senate is not going to divide on party lines
strictly in voting on his case for Carpen-
ter will 90 against his admission and two
or three other republicans will probably
do the same. Bayard on the other hand
urges his admission and it is said eight or
nine other democrats will support Bayard's
position.
There is one good thing about the ses-
,ion SO far-no general legislation is adj
milted but the work is confined 10 the ap.
preparation bills The grecnbackers are
anxious to get chance 10 introduce finan-
cial me lsures and lots of lobbyists are
trying to get their jobs started. lhus far
the only hurt done is by quarrellng over
sectional issues and that can hardly 90 SO

The prominent part taken by Mr.. Chal.
mers, of Mississippi, in the debates in the
House, has called attention to this cham.
pion fire eater, and has recalled the way in
which he got bis election He represents
the " Shoestring District of Mississippi,
SO called because it is II long zigzag, irreg-
ularly shaped district. 1t was made in
that shape by Il democratic gerrymander,
the object being to make Just one district
that should include all the heavy negro
counties, and thus allow the republicans
one, and only one, republican district,
while all the rest could be easily shot
gunned into electing Bourbon candidates.
But the success OF the shotgun policy was
such that the democrats soon came TO the
conclusion that there was no need of con-
ceding even one district TO the republicans.
The honest republican majority in the
district, all black voters, of course, is over
10000. But the democrats have twice
carried it. electing Mr.. Chalmers, the first
time by 1000, aud the second time by
5000 majority. And the way Mr.. Chal.
mers brought this about was this: He
stumped the district, accompanied by n
tield-gun, and had salvoes of artillery fired
at every stopping place, while military
companies received and " escorted u
him 10 the platforms, and " conducted -
him back 10 the hotels. and generally
made things martial and impressive. The
colored republicans, thoroughly intinli-
dated, dared not vote. Chalmers very
naturally has Il horror Of the military
power.

APRIL ELECTIONS The republicans
elect Gov. VanZlndt in Rhode Island bv
al increased majority. In Wisconsin Or
samuS Cole, republican, is elected Judge
of the supreme court by u very large
M jorily. This is partly due to the fact
that he is IN old and respected Judge and
the people repudia;cd the partisan effort
of democratic aspirant to displace him.
and partly TO the great revolution in Mil
wlukee politics, that city now going re-
publican whereas it used to be demo.
cratic stronghold. In Michigan the re-
publicans have beaten the democratic
greenback coalition. The democrats and
grernbackers ctrried Chicago The repub-
Leans have cirriel Cincinnati and have
made great gains in other Ohio cities and
towns. In fact it appears that the debate in
the extra session of congress and the ex.
treme ground taken by the southern speak.
crs is sci iously affecting the northern de.
mocracy in some of the western elections.

The movement Of colored people into
Kansas is not drop in the bucket com
pared with the thousands of whites who
are going there to settle, Pennsylvania,
especially, has contributed largely to the
numbers of emigrants, 2500 Of whom have
passed through Kansas City in single
day. Missouri is jealous that this tide
flows right through her borders without
stopping, and its House of Representatives
has voted to appropriate $4,000 year to
get immigrants to come to that state
Texas, Nebraska and Dakota are also
alive with new settlers, Nhle the Leadville
(Col.) excitement is still strong enough to
attract hundreds of adventurous spirits
from all parts of the country. All togeth-
er the waste places are fast filling up, and
the best of it is that this steady drain from
the east will multiply the number of acres
titled. increasing the food supply and
relieving the ranks of the unemployed.

PHAIR'S THIRD REPRIEvE.-Last week
Marshsll +. Downing, the Boston mer
chant who WAS the means of Phair's first
reprieve. went to Windsor prison and
identified Phair rs the man he saw and
talked with on the train from Providence
to Boston, on the forenoon of June 10, 1874
Tnereupan application was made TO Gov.
Proctor last Thursday and Thursday even
Ing Gov. Proctor reprievcd Pheir six days
till Thursday of this week.
Phairs counsel then applied to two
ju lges of the supreme court, under the
law of 1873, with petition for new
trial, praying the two judges to allow
their petition to be filed and to order
execution to be stayed till it can be heard
by the supreme court
We understand that several judges were
apple! to who could not attend to the
hearing and that the hearing was finally
settled on rs to be at st. Johnsbury Tues
day evening before Jal ges Ross and
Powers.
Downing says he came to sec if Phair
was the nun he talked with on his own
motioa. Col. Veazey, one of Phair S
counsel, says the reason Downing was not
brought face to flce with Phair before the
hearing on the petition last winter was
that those managing Phair's case believed
the identification completely proved by
circumstances and because they feared
would not be able TO pick Phair out after
so long time had elapsed.
If D'wning's story is to be believed it is
important in that it proves that the identi-
tiea.ion of Phair made by the Jew pawn
brokers on his trial, rs the man who
pawned Mrs. Frieze's property on the
morning Of June 10, 1874, was mistake
or perjury.
