WASHINGTON. Dec. i6.-The considera-
lion 'of the pension appropriation bill
led to slight political discussion,
all growing oat of the question Of which
party should have the credit Of originating
and pressing the arrearaye pension bills.
Mr.. Hnbbcil. Of Michigan, explained that
it appropriated solomon. The sum
appropriated for the current fiscal year
was S:;sss.ieioco. but As there was a dehc-
iency Of Sls- 10000 which would have To
b. met, and as the sum required for the
next year would not be less, the committee
thought it best to report the full amount
at once. After few lengthy remarks he
asserted that under cur present system,
out Of s5o.ooo.ooo paid, at least S4.oe!ooo
was paid upon fraudulent claims

TRUE STORIES ABOUT ANIMALS.
[ Burlington Hawkeye. ]

There was trouble in the menagerie
last Saturday. 1t seems that the large
black monkey had got out some way or
another and climbed up in front of the
big aquarium and called the seal a
''blasted furriner," and when the seal
retorted by calling bin 'Senegambian
nut-cracker," the monkey reached over
the glass and pulled black spot in her
sealskin sacque, and then there was a
row.
''put up your fippers and lead at
him" shouted the leopard, encourag
inely, to the seal.
.'Here, you must MT bite, scratch nor
pull hair" said the bear TO the monkey,
Eight fair"
And when that rnle was applauded
and approved by the crowd, the mon
key quit fighting and sat down and
cried, and said that just barred him
clear out.
''Clear in, you mean, interrupted the
zebra, land, besides, you are not barred
half as much as ] am"
Everybody is down on me, any
how" sobbed the monkey.
There's more down on me than
there is on you, said the swan; "and
I don't snivel about it, you Italian
refugee"
II can lick sle biggest seal in this
mcnagere, walled the friendless mon
key, to which the seal scornfully re-
piled:
"You can t lick postage stamp!
AT this taunt the monkey broke out
afresh, and the nlenagerie reviled and
encouraged him by turns.
"Why don't you bristle up?" the
wild boar asked him.
Eyes, shouted the giraffe, "hold up
your head"
"And throw out your chest and have
some style about you," yelled the
peacock.
"And hump yourself aud have a little
back bone" said the camel.
"And stand up for your rights, said
the kankaroo.
''And what will he do for his lefts,
you club-tailed parabola said the
elephant, who had just come into the
tent, and every one could see that he
was in a bad humor. He turned on the
weeping monkey and said: ''Get into
your cage in minute, you son of
cocoanut, or I'll hit you such a swipe
with this Saratoga that you'll think a
whole baggage car has run over you.
The animals were all perfectly quiet,
wondering what had happened and
what was coming next. The elephant
glared around at the cages and then
shook his head savagely.
"Td give bale of hay" he said
after awhile, ''if | knew which one of
you living curiosities and geological
wonders sent me that bottle of anti
fat"
And then, children, one wild whoop
of laughter went up from all the cages,
which eliminated in shrieks of delight
when the enraged elephant sucked all
the water out of the seals tank and
spurted it all over the monkeys. 1t
was the worst rain they ever had in the
menagerie, and it was lucky thing
somebody didn't get killed. AS it was,
the little brown monkey with the gray
face had spasms all night. All three
of the owls had to sit up with him, and
they were so sleepy the next day that
they didn't have to show.

an earnest and determined effort New Orleans
cannot hope to successfully compete with
these markets during the approaching bust
ness season, even with her long delayed rail-
way connection. There would seem to be
very little doubt as to the opening Of railway
through traffic between this city and Texas
by June of the present year, If not earlier, but
1t will not be prudent to wait for that
event before paying our business respects
to our Texas cousins. Like the early
bird before alluded to, our merchants
should take time by the forelock and
perfect their Texas business relations, and
not rest on their oars until after the road is
built and others have harvested the crop.
Let the motto. therefore. of New Orleans
merchants from this time forward Ia regard
to our Texas brethren be founded upon the
words attributed to the Duke OF Wellington
when addressing the famous British Guards
at the battle of Waterloo: Sup ana at them"

Gen. George was yesterday nominated by
the Democratic caucus OF the Mississippi
Legislature for United States Senator to sue
coed Blanche X. Bruce, colored. whose term
expires in 1881. The contest for this position
has been a long and earnest ons 1t began
between Singleton, Barksdale and WalthalI
The latter withdrew his name a few days ago
when most of his supporters went over to
George. The deadlock still continued, how
ever until last night, when Barksdale with
drew. The contest then narrowed down to
Singleton and George, and on the forty-ninth
ballot the latter was nominated by vote OF
70 to 80. Gen. George has figured conspicu-
ously In the politics OF Mississippi, being one
OF the leaders In the great campaign Of 1875
which gave Mississippi to the Democracy. In
1875 Gen. George was candidate for the
Senate, but was not elected, Lamar having
been chosen for that position.

The Republicans, who have complete CON

GUESSING the proposition to appoint presidential
electors BY congressional districts, measure
proposed by one Potter Republican mem
Der, some days ago. The temptation to pass
this bill Is great one, but the course Of the
Republicans depends greatly on their pros
poets In the State about the time Of the ad-
journment of the Legislature. II the chances
at that time are favorable to Republican
victory In New York. the bill will be discreetly
laid on the table; If not, the New York Herald
thinks that the Republicans will screw up
their courage TO the point Of passing it. They
are, however, very ttmid on this question,
and will not dare vote for this law unless 1t Is
their only hope of success

A PLEA FOR MERCY.

The PcagNne makes merry over an adver-
tisement In the DEMOCRAT, In which some
reference Ia made to the aristocraey and
wealth OF New Orleans. The provocation
seems to consist In the fact that claimant
to familiarity with the elite has put himself
forward without asking the leave or solicit
Ing the patronage Of the PIC. Acting upon
this, and with an air at once ineredulous and
indignant, the Pic proceeds to sit down upon
the rash being who, even under the license
permitted to an advertisement, dares
to pretend to social consequences.
Our elderly neighbor Is slightly lum-
bering In her Irony, being proficient rather
In the noble art of gush, but her severe inten-
ton is SO evident that we feel impelled to
come to the rescue OF course we have little
to say In palliation of deliberate irreverence
II any one resident in New Orleans, and under
obligations to know the customs of polite 30
Ciety here, should undertake to claim &C
quaintance among the upper classes without
the sanction OF the Pic, our voice would GER
talnly be lifted In favor OF casting that person
into outer darkness. all other citizens
OF this favored metropolis, we understand
that the PIC, through Its weekly panegyric
bureau, controls society and makes or mars
the fortunes Of all aspirants. Not to be men

taffy and held up to public Inspection under

cal cockroach-why this Is obscure

The good news comes, from Lake Charles
that the bridge over the Sabine river. the
most difficult piece of engineering between
this city and Houston, has been completed

Gen. Hancock has recently written to Con-

the necessity OF better and heavier ordnance

OF the most improved pattern and large

of such guns requires time, he thinks that

SENATOR GIBSON.

The action OF the Democratic caucus last
night virtually makes Hon. u. Il. Gibson our
next Senator In Congress, to succeed Hon. FL.
M. Spofrori In the seat now fraudulently
occupied by Kellogg. What the caucus
agreed upon last night will be to-day ratified
by the Legislature, and Mr.. Gibson's nominal
ton will be surrounded by all the requisite
formallties and guarantees. Frankly, we
had hoped for O different Issue Of the Sena-
torial contest. AS oil our readers know,
we advocated the claims Of Mr.. John
McEnery as the man who would
most fully represent the idea Of louisiana
opposition to military interference and who
most universally enjoyed the respect and
confidence OF the people. Believing as we
did-and for that matter. do still believe-we
gave to Mr.. McEnery an ardent and enthu-
siastic support, and we should have been I'M
felgnedlv gratified had our views prevailed
and our efforts been rewarded with SUCCESS
Such has not been the case, however. and
although Mr.. McEnery received most
earnest and flattering testimonial of the
esteem In which he Ia held by his fellow citi-
zens, the verdict OF the majority was In favor
Of Gen. Gibson.
The contest has been within the party an
to this time, but 1t is now contest no longer.
The voice OF the party has been clearly ex-
pressed, and the DEMOCRAT, as party organ,
recognizes the fact that the question is closed.
1t IL plain to us that the duty Of all good
Democrats is 10 acquiesee In the conclusion
at which, after mature deliberatioD, their re-
personalities have arrived. Fortunately this
acquiescence Involves no great violence to
the feelings even of those who opposed Cen
Gibson most cordially. We do not believe 1t
has ever been doubted that Gen. Gibson is
gentleman OF ability and culture, who has
safely be expected to do credit to himself and
the State Ia the Senate 1t is true that we
have not allowed quite Gil the claims that
have been made In his behalf, but we have not
been disposed to withhold any Of his Just
dues, and are not conscious OF any feeling
that need qualify our concurrence In the re-
suit.
Gen. Gibson certainly deserves all the con-
CALCULATIONS that he may receive. He has
won the highest and most honorable prize to
which an American citizen Is eligible, and 1t

to faithful service and merito-

take his seat for three years TO come and,
during the Interval, he may still further
demonstrate his ability to fill 1t with credit

be may realize the most ardent predictions of
his most enthusiastic friends. We shall not
be sorry to see him do 1t, and Louisiana will

The House Committee on Labor has pre-
pared another anti Chinese bill, which will be
offered In few days. The bill is similar to
the one framed and passed last session, and
forbids the importation into the United
States In any one vessel of more than fifteen
Cinnamon. Ii will be remembered that bill
similar to this was sent to the President last
year and promptly vetoed by him. The
present bill will, of course, meet with the
same fate, and Ia passed probably only to
win political support In California.
