Mr. Randall stepped 70 the front

viously chaotic ideas OF the Hous,
on the subject Of funding. 1t seems
now certain that the House will In

that this is the best shape for the b

bate closely and am sure that but
for Mr. Randall the House would be
cropping rs way towards even as

Rotary sherman thinks It will author

on the part Of the Secretary, 50 that

Against such a course It IS eagerly
urged that in all such cases the huyer

This measure will be disposed OF
by the House this week Such ap-
preparation. bills as are then ready
will have attention. The Inter State
Commerce bill will evidently come
to a vote in the House, though ap-
pearances were against it a little
while ago. The reapportionmenl
bill should be before the House this
week. Mr.. Cox says about 500 rep

There is no doubt that Republi-
cans Of some prominence have beer
attempting Of late to seduee Senate
elect Malone, Of Virginia, from BIZ
allegiance to Democratic ideas. S,
far as purely local or State question:
are concerned, l confess | like {,

J Virginia and other Southern states
II is altogether different when tn
allegiance Of any SOutherner to con
sentative national principles is in
volved. Gen. Malone and ever
other citizen Of the South owes
, to himself aud to the cause OF Con
stitutional Government in this coun
try, to refuse any party utilization
with those Radicals of the Mort
who have for fifteen years attempt
ed to place his section in relation T.
] the Federal Government, diferen
] in any way from those sustained b
i other States and other people. Whe
the attempts Of these Radicals hav
, been finally defeated-as they vii
be soon-or when new and non sec
( tional questions shall become para

South can with good conscience see
such party associates as they choose
J They cannot now.
Some weeks ago there was an at
tempt to settle the Christiancy di
vorce case outside of the court A
decent people now regret the effol
, failed. Two columns Of filthy charge
in the case are published to-day, be
ing the reply of the husband to tn
wiie's statement 10 a eross-bill 70
divorce. As the woman and her at
a torneys are believed to have on Ian
J an equal or larger quantity of simils
allegations against the man, the pro-
pect is that the case will be one {
the most disgusting ever tried.

Christiancy shall attempt to max

he has achieved.
