1t seems the Topeka Blade created
something of a sensation on Wednesday
evening. After the paper was nearly
ready for press the editor is said to have
been "seen" on the senatorial question.
and was suddenly transformed from his
ardent support of ingalls,, whose interests
the paper had been advocating in accord
ance with the public sentiment of Tope-
ka, to a second Kansas City Times in op-
position to that gentleman. But the
foreman who arranged the forms, in
taking out the articles for Ingalls,, which
had been prepared, made a ridiculous
blunder. He left in one of the ingalls,
articles, so that the paper was on both
sides. The Blade gave as an excuse for
the sudden flop" that its editor felt ter
ribly outraged at the charges of the Kan
sas City Times and Charley Miller, against
the senator. These had been published
over and over for a month without affect
ing the delicate sensibilities ofthe Blade.
The change was so sudden as to cause
uncharitable people TO believe that
"slush" had been used to make the Blade
editor open his eyes to the enormity of
these charges. Be that as it may, there
was universal laugh when the Blade
came out with a dozen articles written
by Pangborn abusing Ingalls,, while
in one column this article appeared:
There need be no more trouble about
the senatorial question, as lot of ire
pressible jaskasses in Missouri have
brayed out q settlement of the whole bus
mess through the Kansas City Times.
All that is necessary now is for the Kan
sas legislature to stop bothering their
heads about the matter, and accept the
dictum of these braying blatherskites.
The whole question will then be dispos-
ed Of"
Imagine Pang's feelings.

FoRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
WEDNESDAY, JAN. 2.


The senate ordered that during the
rest of the session no person not entitled
to the privileges of the floor be admitted
to the corridor or marble room, unless
accompanied by janitor. A bill was
passed providing that the navy have but
twenty chaplians, and that all such ap-
pointments must be men not over %
or under 30 years of age. A number of
special pension bills were passed, in
Guiding $50 per month to Mrs. AdrIal
Spaulding. $50 per month to Mrs. DR..
Mary Walker and $50 per month to Mrs.
Gov. Anderson. The house bill to re-
strict Chinese immigration was referred
to the committee on foreign relations, and
Mr.. Allison was appointed on the judi
ciary committee in place of Mr.. Chris
tiancy. whose nomination as missionary
to Peru was unanimously confirmed.
The house went into committee of
the whole on the post Office appropria-
lion bill.
Thursday, Jan. 3Oth.
Senate transacted no business of i'm
portance.
The house passed the post Office ap-
preparation bill. Mr. Plumb called up
the bill to pay $780,, 900 counsel fees in
Usage ceded land suits. Pending dis
cussion the morning hour expired and
the bill was laid aside. A number of
new bills were introduced and referred

The treasury department states that
over S25,000,00O in coin obligations, in
Guiding 81, 100000 in United States notes,
presented for redemption, have been paid
during the current month, yet the coin
in the treasury had steadily increased.
Hereafter the assistant treasurer will pay
interest on government bonds in gold if
demanded. No great demand, however,
is expected. The February interest
amounts to about six millions. The law
does not now require the people to pay
coin in preference to paper for any kind
of debts or taxes, public or private, and
hence there is almost no demand for
coin, even the government creditors not
asking for it in preference to greenbacks
that are equally legal tender.

Whitelaw Reid, editor of the New
York Tribune, was before the Potter
committee on the Both TO tell what he
knew about the cipher dispatches He
said Hazard and Grosvenor, of the Trib-
une staff, translated the dispatches, and
Prof. Holden aided them little. None
of the parties to whom the kilograms
were credited had complained of their
publication, except that Manton Marble
had objected to one telegram being cred
ited TO him, and had proved he was not
responsible.
Gen. Brady or Eugene Hale had had
nothing to do with making the tele-
grams public When the work of trans
lating them began, Reid jocuIarly told
Gov Tilden that he ought to give them
the key, and Tilden replied that he knew
nothing about them, and did not be
lieve any had ever been delivered at his
house. Tilden also stated that he did not
even read them, after they were publish
ed. The commission so far seem to have
little more information than the Tri-
bune TRANSACTIONS give, but Pelton, Mar
BILE, and others, will possibly be able to
throw some light on the subject.

SULPHUR FOR DIPHTHERIA.-Mr
John s. Niles, surgeon OF ThOrocombe,
Dorset, writes to the London Times that
after two cases of malignant diphtheria
out of some nine or ten he had been
called to attend had proved fatal, the
mother of a sick child showed him an
extract from an American paper concern
ing practitioner who used sulphur to
cure the disease. Accordingly he used
milk of sulphur for infants and flower
of sulphur for adults, brought to a
creamy consistence with glyccrine; dose
IA teaspoonful or more according to the
age, three or four times day, swallowed
slowly, and application of the same to
the nostrils with sponge. Result: he
did not lose case there or elsewhere,
and he succeeded in saving life when
the affection had almost blocked the
throat.

Many questions have been asked as to
the result of the experiments of the Ag-
ricultural Department at Washington in
making sugar from sorghum and corn
stalks. Professor Silliman writes let
ter to the New York World to say that
the experiments, while confessedly in
complete, have established the fact that
there is no trouble in making sugar from
corn and sorghum. And he adds: 1T is
probably quite safe to say that with things
conducted on commercial scale and
with suitable vacuum pans and centrifu-
gal machines, not less than one hundred
pounds of sugar and strip can be OBJ
tanned from each ton of stalks of corn or
sorghum treated for sugar, or per cent.
of the green weight. This coming from
good authority, covers the main points
inquired after by correspondents.

1t is said the depression among the far
mers is so great in England that a great
many farms, heretofore under lease from
the nobility and landed gentry to persons
having the capital and skill to cultivate
them, have been given up, and it is hard
to find solvent tenants to occupy them.
In some of the English counties the de-
cline of rental from this cause is equiva-
lent to diminution of 90 per cent per
annum. The farming interest has found
il hard of late to compete with consider
able imports from the United States of
grain, hops, meat and live cattle. 1t is
believed that rents must be still further
reduced, or land in England will pass
out of cultivation.

Mr.. Hendricks has carefully seated
himself on the financial fence again. A

that he occupied precisely the same posi-

Everybody remembers about thai. He
made quasi soft-money speeches all
on his hard money foot, thus restoring
the scientific accuracy Of the lifelong
straddle. That's where he is today.

Senator Conkling, who will enter up
on his third term in the United States
senate, will not be fifty years old until
the 30th of October next. On the 4th of
March he will have served eighteen years
in congess-six years in the house, and
twelve in the senate. 1t Will hardly be
denied that, taking all things into con-
sIderation, he is the ablest and most in
fluential member of the senate, and is,
par excellence, a fit representative of
the Empire State of the Union, and of
the Republican party of the State.

The Ohio Legislature is now agitating
the question of biennial sessions. The
Cincinnati Times IS earnestly advocat-
ing the measure, and cites the recent
Legislation in Kansas to that end as wise
and onomical.-Atchison Champion.
The constitution of Ohio has, for near
ly thirty years, prescribed biennial ses-
sions of her legislature. The provision
is and always has been evaded, and when
the question was agitated in Kansas,
Ohio was frequently pointed to as a
sample of the practical workings of the
biennial system. What Ohio wants is a
healthy public sentiment, like we have
in Kansas, that will not permit the ridi-
culous foolishness of an annual legisla-
tive session.

The Pennsylvania legislature will have
the interesting question TO decide wheth-

Pittsburgh riots of 1877 or not. One
item of these losses is the bill of the Penn

AS Pittsburgh and Allegheny cannot
