"rRIBUNE" talk
On the Action orihe House Toward Two
Belllgerent Members:

BeiiIgerent Members:
New YORK, December 2S.-The follow
ing, from the Tribune. expresses the very
general sentiment at the East in regard to
the House taking no action against Weaver
and sparkss:
A legislative body which does not re-
spect itself can not look for respect from
the world outside. The House Of Repre-.
sentatives suffered on Tuesday a grisyous
insult in the disgraceful alteration be-
tween Messrs. Weaver and Sparks. Those
gentlemen would not have had the least
right to complain II the House had
promptly expelled them, and sent them
back to their constituents with certificates
that they did not know how to conduct
themselves in the society sof re.
spectacle men. At least one mem
Der OF that body, Mr.. Bowman, OF
Massachusetts, seemed to feel natural
resentment Of q gentleman, and offered
and advocated yesterday a resolution oi
expulsion. Butth msjority Of the mem.
beIs present seemed only anxious to let
Mr.. Weaver and Mr.. Sparks escape with
as light punishment as possible, and the
House finally even avoided voting to re-
quire an apology. Mr.. McLaue first sub.
mitted q motion calling upon the per-
sons involved TO apologize 10 the House.
Mr.. Bowman then offered his resolution
OF expulsion. This was followed by res.
olution from Mr.. Brown, OF Indiana, re.
citing the facts and ordering an inyestiga-
ton by special committee.
At this point the two members were al.
lowed to be heard; they apologized,
each after his own fashion, and then the
whole subject was laid on the table, evi.
IDENTIFY not to be taken up again. A more
.impotent and pusillahimous conclusion to
this matter could not well have been
reached.

to oil Republicans, except the more rabid
anti.Sherman men, who, for past grievan-

are willing, rather than be beaten, to con.

them to give their support. Several
Democratic politicians are ripe for

assured that sufficient Republican votes
can be relied on to elect the combination

Rowland, OF Ashtabuls, would be an &C.
ceptable man to this combination; but all
OF these gentlemen refuse to be seduced.
It is scarcely possible that there Is Re-
publican OF prominence in Ohio who
would dare to enter inte combination Of

The Cincinnati Enquirer seems to en-
ploy one or two members Of the West Yir.
giuiA delegation atWashington, and hence
there is good deal OF mutual admiration
taGy being distributed Just now through
is columns. Thursday 1t was Mr.. Here.
iords day, and he gets half a column. 1t
seems that he Is invincible in the sena-
torial contest unless the Legislature be-
comes corrupt, in which case Mr.. Camden
will probably be elected. 1t appears as II
Camden had no other claim or chance
than in a pecuniary way. The rumor that

ado will be here with dead loads Of money
when the ball opens, is pronounced un-
true. In the first place, he has no rich
brother, and in the next, II he. had, the
Senator would not let him use his wealth
on his behalf, He will rely simply on his
record. On this he will stand or fall, and
the correspondent, who ever that person
may be, has seen man fresh from West
Virginia who says that Hereford will not
fall "by 1929 sight" That is, provided
the Legislature retains its purity. He will
be the choice Of the pure in heart. Bless
ed are the pure in heart.
Itseems that our senior Senator with all
his money is backing Mr.. Camden with all
his money. And yet Mr.. Hereford does
not despair. He stands on his record
against the stamps Of his opponents. His
record is as follows:
He was the first to introduce bill for
the improvement of the rivers in the Third
Congressional District, as Representa-
tive from that district, and got the frat
appropriation. Since then, through his
efforts, there has been appropriated over
100000 for the kanawha river. Also up.
propriAtions for the Big Sandy, Guyan-
doste, New and Elk rivers, In said district.
While in the Senate he has been instru'
mental in getting handsome appropria'
tons for the Monongahela, Little Kama
wha and Shenandoah rivers, in the other
two districts. He and Mr.. Kenna, OF the
House, last session got an appropriation
Of $4,000 for public building at Charles
ton. This session bill for q like sum for
apublic building at Clarksburg he intro
duced and got q favorable report from the
same through the committee.

NEw YoRE, December 24.-The atten-
ton of a Tribune reporter was called yes
terlsy to the fact, not before noticed, that
by the terms OF his contract with Howard
4 Co., Talmage agreed on October 4. 1876,
tn insert in tho issue OF the Christian al
Work for October l2, the announcement
that he would in one month leave that
paper to go with the Advance. In order
that such announcement would be pub
lished October l2, il would have TO be
necessary 10 insert it in the paper by 0c-
tober 8, ss the paper went to press that
evening. Yet on the morning Of that day
Mr.. TRimage declared that he had no idea
Of inserting anything in the paper about
his leaving it. So that whether he wrote
the valedictory editorial on the afternoon
Of October 8 or ou the day before, as its
date declares, the contract seems to con-
vict him Of falss statement when he
swore that he had no intention before the
afternoon Of October 8 OF announcing in
the paper that he was to leayeit.

LONDON, December 24.-The Marx Lane
Express, which, on account Of the holi.
days, is published to-day, instead of Mon.
day next, in It's review OF the British
grain trade for the past week, says: The
land Is generally too wet for cultivation.
The samples at hand show avery large
proportion Of the English wheat crop to
be wet. In stock, wheat Ia in good condi.
ton and cells readily. Prices are low.
The large eupply OF dry foreign makes
the sale OF inferior English red very diff.
cult. The yield Of the English wheat
crop Of 1880 Is turning out TO be less than
any OF the published estimates.
Barley continues to decline in conse-
quence OF the large supplies, though fine
samples are very scarce and occasionally
command fancy prices. Oats are 6rmer.
Foreign grain was iuanimate and droop-
ing throughout the week and everything
chesper. Wheat cargoes have been de-
clining slowly but surely. American red
winter on passage was offered at 45s Cd TO
46s Sd per quarter. Maize continues slow,
American being quoted to-day at 36s Cd.
The imports into the kingdom for the
week ending December 18th are l ,010, ,3S2
cwts OF wheat and 257, ,72S cwts Of aour.

She had been left an orphan aud lived
with her grandparents, Deacon Thomas
Collier and his dame. Last summer there
came to rusticate in the vicinity yenng
man named VIM, II. Jackson, from Jer.
sey City. He was not long in
discovering and falling in love
with the fair Eunice. An at
tachment soon ripened between them, but
the girls stern grandmother forbade 1t.
Juliet was csged and Romeo took his de-
parture. When Eunice began her winter
school she rented private box st the
WRupaco postoftice, and instructed the
postmaster that her letters be delivered to
none but herself. Letters postmarked

At last one came registered, and now an
intimate friend ot Eupice tells that It con.
tained $50 from Mr.. Jackson. The next
day Eunice taught her school as usual
but in the evening quietly packed hei
