Mr.. CoRBIN, who claimed the seat IN
the Senate now occupied by Senator But
Ter, of South Carolina, is in Washington
for the purpose of again applying for ad-
mission. When he first contested the seat
it was shown that he had not the shadow
of justice upon which to rest his claims,
and Senator Butler was sworn in. He
persisted, however, and succeeded in hav-
ing his partsans on the committee of
privileges and elections to recommend his
cause. The Senate, however, refused to
take cognizance of the report. He is evil
IDENTIFY hopeful that he will have better
luck now that the Senate is in the hands
of the Republicans, for he is aware of the
fact that where partisan advantage is to
be gained it makes no difference whether
he has good or bad case. 1t is not i'm
probable that an effort will be made 10
Gust Senator Butler and seat Corbin in
return for the consideration shown by the
Democrats in permitting Kellogg to re-
tain his seat when he had no legal right
to it. When that case was under consid-
Grafton the Republicans insisted that it
was res adjudicdta, but there is no doubt
they will change their minds as to Butler,
although the circumstances attending the
ontest were precisely similar in both
cases.

THE internal revenue and customs re-
ceipts for the year will aggregate little
more than three hundred millions of dol
lars. The sum used to be considered a
large one, and during Buchauan's admin
istration, the most eXtravagant Demo
cratic administration since the founda-
ton of the government, great ado was
made because the expenses came neal
ninety millions for 1860 Three time.
that amount, however, does not seem to
suffice in these days.

LABOR strikes are seldom approved by
business men, but the pending strike Of
the street car drivers and conductors
of Chicago seems to be very generally en-
dorsed by the public. The men are COM
PEELED to work about sixteen hours daily,
and receive mere pittance for their
worthless than ordinary day laborers.
At the same time they are entrusted with
great responsibilities, and are compelled
to give bonds for the faithful discharge
of their duties Considering the hours
they are employed and the character of
their work, they are the poorest paid of
any class of laboring men in the country,
and it is generally considered that their
demand for an increase of twenty per
cent. in wages is not unreasonable. There
has been little complaint from the pa
irons of the street cars because of the in
convenience occasioned by the strike, a
fact that is due to the general sympathy
of the public with the strikers, who have
thus far conducted themselves with COM
mendable propriety.

SQEEZING THE SHORTS.

The Hand of the Armours Seen in the Re-
markab lie Rise in Provisions in Chicago
Yesterday.
CHICAGO, April s.-There was a marked adj
vance In provisions to-day, accompanied with
many rumors and much excitement. Prices
closed strong at about the highest figure for
the day. The immediate cause of the advance
was private dispatch said to be from high
official source in Paris that the French gov
ernment had decided to rescind
its recent action barring out
American provisions, but it is said
that the real and lasting cause of the extra
ordinary rise, amounting to ninety cents to a
dollar, in pork, and fifteen to twenty cents in
lard, is the strong hand of the Armonrs who
have secured the May options and are reaching
out after the June and July futures also.
Their purpose is said to be to squeeze the
shorts as heavily as the conditions of trade
and thd'rules Of the board will permit.

VidOW Bed0tt.

The Opera house was crowded last
evening to see Nasby's "Widow Bedott. ;"
If continuous and uproarous laughter is
an evidence of appreciation, the per-
Torrance was highly successful. Mr. G.
B. Bishop, as the widow, was intensely
comical, representing the garrulous old
woman to perfection. His makeup was
irresistibly laughable, and his acting
fully equal to that of those who have pre-
ceeded him in the role While there is
nothing especially edifying in the play,
it serves to amuse an audience, without
offending their moral sensibilities in the
least. The Elder of Mr. Barrows was an
excellent representation. The play will
be repeated this afternoon and evening,
and large audiences may be looked for.

Piles.

Piles are frequently preceded by sense OF
weight in the back, loins and lower part of
the abdomen, causing the patient to suppose
he has some affection of the kidneys or neigh
boring organs. At times symptoms OF in
digestion are present, as fatulency, uneasiness
of the stomach, etc. A moisture like pers-
piration, producing very disagreeable itch.
ing, particularly at night after getting warm
in bed, is very common attendant.
Internal, external and itching piles
yield at once on the application Of
Dr. Bosanko's Pile Remedy, which acts
directly upon the parts affected, absorbing
the Tumors, allaying the intense itching and
effecting permanent cure where all other
remedies have failed. Do not delay until the
biIity, but try it and be cured. Price so cents.
Ask your druggist for it, and when you can
not obtain it of him, we will send it, prepaid,
on receipt of price. Address The DIR. Bosanko

THE Louisville Couraer-J Journal has tn

IHE LOUISVILLE C0UT2er-J0ur7ldG has the
following:
lady has toll the Courier-JournaL about
one of the most remarkable incidents of the
recent destruction of the Minnesota Capitol by
fire. The fire, it will be remembered, occurred
atnIght. From "A window she watched the
flames, and present., observed that the stars
and stripes were flying above the great dome.
Would the flag he reached and consumed? The
dome was blazing, and the flames shot up
toward the national emblem, creating ire
mendous draft, which drew the flag
straight upward, but it held to its
fastenings, and the fire got nearer and
nearer every instant. Just as the flames
had attained height sufficient to take in the
struggling bunting, it broke away, sailed to
wards the heavens, and disappeared. The fire
had not touched it. The banner of the fathers
was saved.
This incident would be very romantic,
significant, poetical, and all that sort of
thing if 1t was true, but unhappily the
old flag caught fire early in the evening,
and "sailed toward the heavens" in the
form of smoke and ashes. It's pity to
spoil so sentimental fiction, but "the
truths OF history must he indicated.
