To the Editor of the Globe.
ST.. PAUL, Mimi, 100 St. Peter street,
February Is, 1Ss1.-I did not know of
the death of Captain William Rhodes
until this morning, when l read the sad
knell in the papers.
have written many obituaries of de-
parted friends, and some whom l never
unearthly mystery binding me to them in
death.
Words have never yet, and can
never express either love, friendship,
gratitude, or those other and inhuman
emotions belonging and forming the
worse elements Of poor, suffering, afflict-
ed humanity.
Will you not permit me to plant one
flower of memory, to place one picture of
grateful heart where home altar is
now draped in mourning, to offer on
that shrouded, inexplicable solution of
life's problem a cassia plant of immortal
recollected kindness and friendship?
In 1865, when the war was thought to
to be ended, left Richmond, Virginia,
city and State in ashes Desolation, des-
pair, utter hopelessness were on graves
of bright loves and affections and hopes
and prayers of mothers, fathers, young
girls and manly boys. came, it matters
not now nor how, to La Crosse, Wiscon-
sin, with not dollar then, with scarcely
a friend, returning to st. Paul, where the
first months and years of my young man
hood had passed away, never to be recall
ed. Perhaps it is better not to recall the
past
Captain Rhodes, whom ! had known,
met me, and in his kind, whole-souled
self-way, with no intimation from me-
with no heart broken record from me,
said: "You will have nothing to pay on
nv boat to ST. Paul"
These were the words sinking into my
soul, and now, when he is dead, for the
first time repeated, but they remained as
household treasures with me, and hope
with mine.
'I've heard of hearts unkind, kind deeds
With GOODNESS still returning;
Alas, the gratitude of men
Hath Oftner left me mourning"

THE lobby around the legislature is IN
creasing in numbers daily, The railroad
lobby is strong; the swamp land lobby Is
developing strongly; the temperance lob
by is strong and persistent, and between
them all the members of both houses have
hard time of il. The confusion in both
branches is so great that business is trans
acted with difficulty, and it is frequently
the case that so many Senators and Rep
resentatives are absent in the corridors
listening to the opportunities of the
lobbyists that there is no quorum with
which to transact business.

IN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS.

The Republicans in both houses of
Congress have come to the conclusion to
force upon the incoming President the
necessity for calling an extra session of
the national legislature, and within day
or two will formally agree upon plan to
lie followed during the few remaining
DAYS of the session This determination
has long been apparent to whose who
have watched the progress of events, and
viii excite no establishment. Ever since
the present session began, the leaders of
the party have pursued uniform plan of
ohstructing legislation. No matter what
the bill before the Senate or House has
been, every obstacle that would delay its
final consideration has been made use of,
Not always with the purpose of defeating
il, but in order to consume as much time
as possible. Debates upon the most triv-
ial points have been prolonged needless
". and on all important questions on
which there has been difference of in
t@rest between the parties, all the arts of
f5bustering have been adopted. On the
funding bill the Republicans, by refusing
to vote, left the House without quorum
for several days in succession, and greatly
hindered public business.
In the consideration of all the appropria-
tion bills amendments were suggested
and discussed at length for the sole
purpose of preventing final action. The
result is that at the present time, with
hut thirteen working days of the session
remaining, there are still to be acted up
on some of the most important of the ap-
preparation bills, the failure of any of
which will compel the President to call
Congress together in extraordinary seS-
sion. There has also been persistent and
factious opposition to the passage of the
reapportionment act. 1t is not pre-
tended that the bill now pending is par
tlsan measure, for such pretense
would be the sheerest nonsense. The
fact is that no apportionment bill that
could be suggested would work injustice
to either party. Apportionment is sim
ply a mathematical proposition, based
upon the population of the
several States as ascertained by the

HOUSE.

The members of the House had spasm
of industry yesterday, and held three ses-
sions, at which a considerable amount Of
business was transacted. The three days
rest they had had, together with the
knowledge that the greater part of TO-
day would be frittered away in the dis
cussion of the woman suffrage amend
ment to the constitution, spurred all
those having bills on the calendar to hur-
ry business forward as rapidly as possible.
A large number of bills were introduced
in the forenoon, none of them, however,
of special interest to the general public.
Concurrence was had in several Senate
amendments to House bills. The Senate
amendment to the bill increasing the
salary of the county attorney of Hennepin
county so as to include the same official
in Ramsey county was referred to the del
egation from Ramsey. In the afternoon
some twenty bills were passed. The only
bill that created discussion was that per-
hitting evidence of deceased persons in
criminal trials, if relevant, to be intro
duced as competent testimony in other
cases relating to the same transaction.
1t was introduced for the benefit Of
a man now awaiting sentence
in Winona county for murder. 1t was
stated that the testimony of the principal
witness on the trial of another man for
the murder completely exonerated the
person recently convicted of the crime,
but as that witness is now dead his evil
dence cannot be used except by the intro
duction of stenographic report taken on
the former trial. Messrs. Smith, San
born, Dunn and Calender pleaded that
the life and liberty of a citizen should not
be placed in jeopardy because of legal
technicality. Messrs. Hicks, Collins and
searles opposed the bill because it estab-
lished a dangerous precedent of retroac-
tive legislation, and was an innovation on
long established rules of criminal prac
tice The bill was finally defeated by a
vote of 81 yeas to IS nays, but notice of
motion to reconsider was given, which
was also discussed at great length.
In the evening it looked for time as
if no quorum would be present, but the
members kept dropping in till there were
about seventy present. Thirteen bills
were passed, among them the tax levy for
the two ensuing years.

Pat Brdyl Explains the Christine Olson
affair.
To the Editor of the Globe.
ST. PAUL, Feb. 15.- l read in
your valuable paper of this date an arti-
Gle which was headed ''Sheriff Bray and
the Sibley County Pauper," therein you
stated that Sibley county wanted to foist
an INDECENT old lady on Ramsey county.
Now | wish to make statement of the
facts, as understand them, for the ben
eft of the people of Ramsey county, and
particularly the authorities They are
these: Christine Olson lived in st. Paul for
three years and a half previous to Feb. LIST,
1878. Two years and half of that time
she lived with Mr. j. c. Richardson on
Seventh Street, and while living with him
she attended a Baptist revival, which
had the effect of injuring her mind. In
February, 1878, her brother applied and
got warrant from the Hon. Judge of
Probate of SIbley county, committing
her to the asylum at St. Peter,
where she has been up
to November 20, A. D. 1880, when she
was discharged from the asylum.
These facts being ascertained by the
authorities in Sibley county, the county
commissioners gave me an order directing
me to take her to Ramsey county and turn
her over to the county commissioners of
Ramsey county.
Now as it requires one years eontinu-
GUS residence in county before a county
is by law required to support poor per-
son, and as Christine Olson has not re.
sided in Sibley county for one year, but
has resided in Ramsey county for three
years and more, am of the opinion
Ramsey county is bound to support her
So far as [ am personally concerned in
the matter, was simply executing pro-
cess placed in my hands, and was acting
in an official capacity, and l propose to
see if was subject to arrest, and such
further treatment as | received at the
hands of Ramsey county officials.
