Senator Hill was member of the Rich
mond Confederate Congress. Seeing SO
large a number of his old companions
around him, and remembering the recent
eulogies which Garland, Of Mississippi, and
Thurman, of Ohio, and othGl ''goOd" Dem
Ocrats had paid to JEFF Davis, he can hardly
be said to have made mistake

ELoQUENcE.-A Washington special of
the Cincinnati Commercial, under date of
the 18th inst, had the. following Ian
guage in referring to an eloquent and fin
ished oration, delivered in the House by
Mr.. J. e. Burroughs, Of Michigan, brother
of ]. B. and Dr. Burroughs.
Democrats speak Of it as without an
equal as the masterpiece of defamation so
far this session, although the sentiment of
the effort does not please them, as it was
radically stalwart. Mr.. Burroughs spoke
from manuscript, and had evidently care
fully prepared himself. His manner and
matter, together with his undeniable pow
sr as an orator, threw the Republicansin-
to fever of enthusiasm. They applaud
ed him again and again, and when he
closed they gathered around him and
fairly overwhelmed him with their con-
gratulations. 1t was sJme time before
business could be resumed. There has
seldom been seen on the floor of Congress
such scene of enthusiasm.

Our friend-the ''yOung man"-has been
making a determined efforL to shorten the
sessions Of the General Assembly and to
reduce their cost by substituting an annual
salary Of $500, with deductions for absen-
Seeism Of So per day, for the present per
diam allowance, which prolOngs the session
with its attendant eYils. Five hundred
dollars is a reduction of from 1925 to $175
on the present compensation to each mem
ber The vote on the bill was 80 in favor
and 80 sgainst-a tie which was lost by the
casting vote Of the Speaker. Every Re
publican but six voted for the proposition.
The object of the bill seems to be very
good one and worthy of better fate than
awaited If.

The situation Of Russia looks little Sc
nous. Martial law has been, in effect, de-
ciareo IN some of the larger cities and
much excitement is said to exist. The
avenues to civil war are opening. The
state OF things favor an outbreak, but for
the available strength Of the government
for meeting an emergency. The measures
Of the government for repressing what NAV
be termed Russian Socialism, are by no
means conciliatory.

Mr. Garfield did not relinouish bis claim

Mr.. Garfield did not relinquish his claim
to his portion of the salary grab until COM
PEELED by his fears TO do so.
THIS is an assertion Of the Standard,
and issEen enough in Democratic view and
tactics to round out an article with. So
far from fact in the matter Mr.. Garfield
never set up any claim for portion OF the
salary crab. We have no evidence that he
ever entertained the thought of doing so
He was. we think, the first, or if not, GER
tainly among the very first to cover back
into the treasury any amount that might
be appOrtioned to him. Its well enough to
let facts stand out for what they are worth.
The thoroughness and accuracy of the
next census is likely to be guaranteed by
those characteristics held in so large de-
gree by the man who supplies and directs
the machinery. The government has no Of
fcer in whose integrity the country has
more complete confidence than in the Sec
rgtary of the Interior. Whatever our
opinions NAV be Of his political course his
impartiality in the discharge Of duty is as
clearly recognized as his distinguished abilI-
ty. This is pleasant thought in view Of the
importance Of the forthcoming enumera-
tion, and the accompanying statistics Of
the work soon to be undertaken.
