THE old ex-confederate, Jubal Early, is
not entirely destitute of humor Of a certain
kind though he is represented as full of fire
and vindictiveness. General John C.
Breokinridge, when he visited Minnesota
soon after the war, related the following
anecdote OF Early, with whom he served in
tho Shenandoah valley. After they had
been defeated by Sheridan and were fly
ing through the valley in full retreat, the
road became blocked with soldiers. cannon,
caissons, wagons, etc., and Early and
Breckinzidge took q parallel path and rsde
tor some miles without much conversation,
each being absorbed with his own redec-
tons, not Of the pleAsantest character. At
last Gen. Early spoke, in his usual squeak
ing, Querulous voice: "Gen.e-ral Breck-
in-ridge-what do you think now about our
tights in the territories?" The answer was
not given, but it is fair to presume that the
humor Of Early's pithy interrsgatory, reach
ing a. it did the bottom Of the whole bust
ness. was more apparent some years after
than when it Was propounded.

What Senator Sherma" Say. Of the Next Ses
sion Of Congress.

A gentleman who has lately talked with Sen
ator Sherman, gives the following ~ the sub
stance Of some very pertinent comments by the
ex-senator upon working majorities in con-
gress.
I am sorry the republican party has not 4
good working majority in both houses, but We
must take the situation az We find it AID make
the best of it. Both houses are so evenly di
vided between the parties that neither will be
able to accomplish party measure if it il reso-
lutely opposed by the other. There never was
time when this condi ion Of affairs worked
LEES injury. There is no pressing political
measure demanding action. The measures OF
the next session are likely to bf the reduction
Of taxes, the revision of tho tariff and hope
some good law regulating presidential elections
and appointments iD the civil service All
these questions ought to be non-p~rtisan, and
are likely 10 be settled better by compromise
aud concession than by caucus. Az for night
essions, motions merely for delay, and break
ing quorum. b, refusing to vote. l hope there
will be enough of INDEPENDENT men on both
sides to break mp these revolutionary expe-
clients. Let the majority rule after full
chance for debate. The tis in tho senate and
the close division in the house may result in
our having good business congress and
short session.

SINCE the recovery from the effects OF
the panic of 1873, the surplus revenue Of
the government has steadily increased until
it is estimated that it will reach the enor-
nous figure Of $167, ,0O0, 900 for the current
fiscal year. Last year it was over $780,
000, 900, and the receipts at the treasury
sirce the Let of July are 30 much in excess of
those for the same period Of that year, that
it is safe, in the opinion of the Washington
Star, to estimate an in crease of fifty per
cent. in the surplus revenue. Since every
dollar comes from the pockets of the peo-
pie directly or indirectly, they should not
cease agitation for reduction Of taxes.
An overfowing treasury always suggests
unwise expenditures.
