refuting tns chafses OF bribery OF
the Kansas Legislature to secure his
election to the Senate. This is follow,
ing the inexcusable precedent recently
set by the Senate in allowing the alleg>
ed expenses of Mr., Butler, of South
Carolina, and Mr.. Kellogg. of Louisiana,
in defending their Eight to the seats oc-
cupied by them. The Senate of the
United States has long been known as
the most expensive legislative body in
the world, and many of its items OF ex>
penditure are gross and outrageous
frauds upon the public Treasury. 1t
has in its employ three times as many
clerks as are necessary for the proper dis
patch of public business, and the prin-
cipai occupation of many Of its members
seems to be the devising of means and
methods to increase their own comfort
and convenience and add to their own
emoluments at the expense ofthe people.
Useless committees are constantly crea'
ted for the avowed purpose OF giving
some Senator room for his private uso,
and clerk to transact his private busl-
ness, and to be paid out OF the Treasury.
There is not Senator and there Is not
clerk of the Senate who does not know
perfectly we'll that the expenses of that
body are twice or three times as much
as they ought to be, and yet expenses
are piled up year by year with coolness
and an Indifference to public opinion
which is refreshing. For ten years the
House of Representatives, whose ex
penses are ever so much less in proper
ton, has undertaken in the appropria.
ton bills to cut down the inordmate and
excessive expenses of the Senate, but In
vain. This new raid is about the most
inexcusable of all, and nobody can tel
where it will end, for as Senators arr

Many persons take medicine for their all
ments, and as soon as they feel better they dis
regard all directions and stop taking it. They
try it again and again. and finally throv it aside
as worthless, when, had it been persevered 10

been effected. Now in taking PKiCKrY ASH

Washington Letter.
From our Regular Correspondent
WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 1o!h, 1882.

WASHINGTON, D. c.. April 10Th, 1882.
The veto of the Chinese bill and its
probable effect upon the immediate fu>
ture of political parties has been the
chief topic Of interest among politicians
for some days The Democrats were
solid for the bill, and there is among
. them entire unanimity Of opinion as to
the result. There is hardly doubt that
it will give them a clean sweep of the
Pacific States with possibly Colorado
thrown in. The people of those States
are thoroughly in earnest about this
matter, and all the Representatives from
that section agree with Gen. Rosecrans
that it will scarcely be worth while for
tho Republicans to organize for cams
paign in that section, after defeating the
measure. Advices from other sections
indicate that working men are heartily
in sympathy with the people on the Pa
cifc slope and are preparing to stand by
them in their efforts to keep ont the
Chinese. From a source in the Admin
trationSranks which your correspondent
has generally found correctly informed
it is learned that tho members of the
Cabinet were divided upon the propriety
of veto, Attorney General Brewster
earnestly advising that the bill be per-
mitted to become law by the lapse of
ton days after its passage without Exe'
cutive approval; others advising that a
message be sent with the approved bill,
protesting against its features, after the
manner Of several Presidents during the
past twenty years. What with the veto
and reports of success in the spring
elections, the Democrats are very much
elated. 1t is now considered about two
to one that they will control the next
Congress.
1t is probable that the Democrats in
Congress will oppose by every means in
their power the passage Of the Tariff
Commissio Sb;ll and the bill for the ad-
mission o1 kota as a State; 1t is
their inteh. p compel the Repabli-
cans to be sh, -aup before the country
