 There are some edifying sights to be seen l In Washington nowadays. In prominent
 place in the ladies' gallery of the Senate on
 Thursday sat Jessie Raymond, who has sued
 Senator Hill, of Georgia, for seduction, and
 in her arms she held her boy, whom she had
 named Thomas Hill. Below, in his chair, sat
 Senator Hill with his little grandson on his
 knee. In another section of the ladies' gal lery could be seen Miss Lucy Horton, of Ala l bana, who alleges that the son of Senator Morgan and the clerk of his committee, has
 betrayed her, and who shot young Morgan in the shoulder while he was walking on a street in the city, several weeks ago. On sofa in the Senate chamber below, ia full view of
 Miss Horton, was ths young man in whose shoulder sue put the bullet.

 ''paid agents of English manufacturers are at ! this moment at work in New England with tho sole purpose of melting strikes among our operatives" MT. Wright is 8 careful and Ae- curate man, who does not make random state ments. The motive of tho British manufac- turers is obvious. The competition of Amer jeans has driven them out of the markets of the United States, and is threatening to be- como formidable in the East. If they cannot hope, under ordinary conditions, to make goods that their customers in China, the h. dies and South America will prefer to Ameri- can fabrics at American prices, they hope to be able to embhrrass our manufacturers by introducing dissatisfaction among their work men. That is not honorable competition, but the whole course of British trade proves that British manufacturers are not at all fastidious as regards the means of getting rid of com petiter.
 The choice of Harrisburg for the Pennsyl- vania Democratic convention and the instruc- tions to the chairman of the State committee, MT. Randall's particular friend, to recognize, not the Randall men, but the forty-six dele gates regularly chosen at Philadelphia, Of whom thirty-eight are declared to be radically anti-RandAll, is hailed with delight by ths anti Tildonites. The World thus dsposss: ''That the admission of the Wallace delegates from Philadelphia is crushing blow to MT. Tilden is disputed, and can be disputed, by nobody i Of ths delegates so far chosen three fourths at lsast arc opposed to the pretensions of Mir Tilden either to secure the nomination for himself or to devolve 1t upon any of his agents, and this fact is all the more significant because in Mir. Tilden's dsfsatis comprehend ed the defeat of the most industrious and the most conspicuous of the candidates for the position of rssiduary legatee to MT. Tilden. In other words, Pennsylvania sees, what New York mast sec if there is to be any hops of q Democratic victory this year, thas the busi- ness of pocksting delegates for one candidate must como to an end, and that no successful canvass ear be made upon 8 basis of political ciphering."
 Mrs. Ohristiancy is talking great dsal and some of her stories are decidedly interesting. She charges MT. Christiancy with asliisg his seat in the Senate to zachariah Chandler. The particulars of tho sal @, as related by Mrs. Christiancy, are substantially follows: It wes sometime in the fall of 1878 that Mir. Chandler went to Mr. Christiency's house in Lansing and there made the arrangement for the lattsr's withdrawal from the Senate. Mrs. Christiancy was not present at the interview, but Dr. Victor Christianoy, son of the Sen ator, now residing in Leavenworth, Kan, was in the next room and heard the grsasar part of the conversation. Victor repeated the con- versation to her. On the same day he gave her graphic description of Msssrs. Chandler and Christiancy walking up and down, hag- gling over the terms. MT. Chandler began tho conversation by saying that he had been to Washington and had seen President Hayes, and that the matter pending between them wEs all right. This remark showed that there had been other conversations between them upon the same subject. MT. Chandler then went on to say that Mir. Christiancy could have either the mission to Peru or Central America. The Administration had placed these two places at his (Mr. Ohandler's) dis posal MT. Chandler also thought that the Japanese mission might be had, as Minister Bingham was talking of coming home, but tho Peruvian and Central American missions were absolutely at his disposal. Mir. Chandler advised the acceptance of the Central Ameri can mission; there Mir. Ohristiancy would find life so 4uiet that he could save nearly all of his salary. Then followed long talk about routes the mode of travel etc., when the conversation finally closed with a talk about sum of money that was to be paid Mir. Christianoy by Mir Chandler as bonus for his retirement The exact amount of this sum was not mentioned, because from the conversation that followed it was plainly shown that 1t had been previously arranged. Finally, Mir. Chandler said: "Who shall I give the money to-2" Mir. Christiaaey an swered: ''Henry-send it to him. Henry is MT. Christiancy's favorite son, who resides in Detroit. It is said that Mr. Christiancy has made will in his favor. After this, MT. Christiancy said: ''Then we will call this settlement" MT. Chandler laughed as he said, with the sstirical air of 6 man in good spirits over bargain to his advantage: "Yes, we will call this settlement" ''Thsn, said Mir. Christiancy, ''pledge me that no other human soul shall know of this" 'No," re- piled Nr. Chandler, Chow caa they p This ended the conversation. It was that same day that Dr. Victor acquainted his stspmother with the particulars of what he called his fathers degradation. This is remarkable if true and rather ingenious if it is not.
