Response by R. T. McEldowney,
Wetzel Democrat
This closed the regular pro
gramme of Toasts and Responses;
but the last speaker, in closing his
super-sublime tribute to woman,
turned majestically upon the
humble representative of the FREE
MAN, as though it had all the love
and beauty of West Virginia under
its Hgis, and with all the fervency
of his bursting emotions, appealed
for recognition or relief, to his old
friend and helper in heart-troubles,
in such tones as the company took
up, and compelled US to offer a
half-minute's grafton of confession
and coincidence.
The next and last toast was offer
ed and drunk to the CLERGY Of
West Virginia. Yes, we are sorry
to say it, drunk to the Clergy. Our
most hospitable and generous hosts
will pardon us for saying right
here, that some Of us would have
been fully as highly pleased and
honored, had wine been omitted
entirely from the feast, but being
guests, it was for us to simply de-
cline, and respect the wishes Of
others but when in a gathering
convened to do honor to the pro-
claimed educators of public opinion,
the company with glasses filled
with that which only sparkles to
sting, drink to the noble band Of
spiritual and moral teachers of the
people, a banded christian brother
hood, that is just now actively at
war with all that intoxicates, as
the greatest enemy opposing their
! blessed wOrk-When this mOckerv
is enacted we were criminal not
to raise our voice in solemn pro-
! test We cannot say less than that
it was an incident in shocking bad
taste, and one that upon due refec-
ton would not have occurred-a
mistake we are sure the good peo-
pie Of Weston cannot approve.
We have neither room in this is
sue, nor did we preserve sufficient
notes, to notice in detail the excel
lent speeches of the prominent
gentlemen responding to the sever
al noble sentiments announced.
We can only say they were all
pointed, pertinent, some eloquent,
and all richly enjoyed by the com
pany.
We should, perhaps, say that we
had no thought or purpose of sing
ling out any one or more Of the Re
i sponses and seeking the same for
publication, but at the reception,
just before leaving the city, in con-
versation it occurred to US to solic-
it from Dir. Camden and Judge
Brannon, notes of their remarks,
which they were kind enough to
furnish, and which will be read
with interest in another column.

Pitney Bounced and the Once Abolished.
WAsHISGroN, June I7.-Secretary
Window to-day summsrily dismissed
Pitney from public service and abol.
ished the office OF custodian of the
treasury. There never has been any
law authorizing the place OF custodian.
The position was created in the Treas-
ury Department some years ago, and
the custodian's salary has been paid out
OF the appropriations for jsnitors, mes.
sengers aud superintendents OF public
buildings. Secretary Window ascer-
tained this, and mas abolished the place,
saying that IL had no right to exist.
The duties heretofore performed by the
custodian, are imposed, by the order OF
the Secretary abolishing that Office, upon
Chief Clerk Power, who has been dili-
gent and persistent in working up and
exposing the frauds OF the custodian's
ring. Pitney is likely to
Escape Any Penalty,
except that OF his dismissal, rs he will

ahead with the investigation, and the
few merchants who had sold goods to
Pitney at whatever price they chose TO
fix had to furnish the money that was
refunded to the Treasury to make good
the fraudulent transactions. The result
OF the discovery OF the Investigating
Committee mas been to deprive these
merchants OF some contracts they had to
furnish Pitney with more goods. These
merchants are complaining now, and
say they

after consultation, decided to appeal to
Hubbell about the matter. While the
money was undoubtedly paid over to
the Campaign Committee it was turned
in as a voluntary contributions from the
Republican merchants and it ia not at
all likely that Hubbell or any OF the
committee ever heard OF the stipulation
in regard to the contracts.

the Work OF fDecapitation.
WASHINGTON, June l7.-Sergeant at
Arms Bright OF the Senate has dis
charged several employees, and 1t is re-
ported that he intends to make more
discharges at the end OF this month.
This course evidently gives great dissat
isfaction to the Democratic Senator's.
One Democratic Senator now here says
that Just before the Senate adjourned
some intended removal was mentioned
and the Democratic Senators gave Bright
plainly to understand that no removals
should be made during the recefs,
as the Democrats resisted the change Of
Senate officers on the ground that IL
would be unit TO turn out men who
had worked all through the session just
as recess was coming, and that the un.
derstanding was that no change should
be made before next winter. The indi.
cations are that when Congress meets
again the Democrats
Will Mako Rigid Inquiry
about these dismissals. Nothing can
be done until then, however, as when
the Senate is not in session the Ser.
geant. at. Arms has absolute power. The
one now discharged by Bright has been
in the employ OF the Senate for over
twenty years, having been originally ap'
pointed by a Democratic Sergeant at
Arms before the rebellion.

tunnel had been sunk on the English
side sHd two ON the French side, and
that from one Of the shafts on the Eng
ligh side a gallery 500 OF 800 yards long
aud feet in diameter had been driven.
The prog, ess during the past week has
sixty-nine yards. which Is eQual to two
miles yearly. They have thus solved
the question OF the rate Of progress Tor
the experimental gallery, and ascer-
tsineu that the lower strata is imperme-
able To water. The French experiment
realized exactly the same result. They
had arrived At an understanding with
the French tunnel committee that on
each side OF the channel a further head
ing OF a mile should be driven. When
these headings are finished, which GER
tainly ought to be in six months, one
tenth Of the question would have been
dealt with, aud q further treaty would
then probably be proposed, under which
