ALEXANDRIA, VA.
FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE 2, 1882.

MAHoNEIsM STRUCK good ground when
it fell among the republicans in Congress.
The republican Senators adopted it at
first sight, and though the House contains
but one and half Of its prophets, the re-
publicans therein have already adopted its
system Of increasing majority, by follow
ing the example set in the Virginia Legisla:
ture last winter, when the fairly and legally
elected delegates from Rockbridge were
ousted and their places given to disciples of
the boss. If the doctrine be as progressive
as this advance indicates, it is by no means
improbable that its TENT regarding the re-
pudiation of public obligations will, as Capt.
Blair has advised, he applied to the ma
tional rs we'll as to the State debt; it most
assuredly will if such means be required to
''beat down the democratic party for &C
cording to Mr.. Sherman, any thing in law
and morals is justiiiable that will accomplish
that purpose.

Baptist General Association.

Correspondence of the Alexandria Gazcttc.l
WARRENToN, VA, June Second day
The association met at $50 this a. m. the
Presidant, DR.. Burrows, in the chair.
The delegates seem to be well pleased
with their homes and delighted with their
hosts. Warrenton sustaining her envable
reputation for hospitality.
One good result, among many others, to
be accomplished by these denominational
gatherings is the pleasant exchange of social
courteses among the members of different
and differing churches and the opportunities
they afford for a better understanding Of
each others views and spirits. We seem to
come nearer, see clearer and love dearer.
Here is another good result: The church
with which the association meets is quicken
ed to lively sense Of UNCONVENTIONAL re-
spectability and to Just and laudable de-
nominational pride. For instance, in many
places where the association meets, the house
of worship undergoes costly and greatly
needed repairs and improvements Fresh
paint new frescoeing, new carpet, &C., meet
the eye on every side, and the exterior and
interior of their house Of worship present an
attractive and beautiful appearance
admiration of all present.
The first business claiming the attention
Of the association this morning was the re-
port of the Secretary of the minister's relief
fund. The figures given showed increased
interest and increased contributions. The
wants of the needy have been supplied and
n balance in the treasury
At IL o'clock the annual sermon was
preached by Rev. c. H. Ryland, of Rich
mond, Va, from Eccls. 8, S, "A wise mans
heart discerneth both time and judgment"
1t was on able, eloquent and practical dis
course and was ordered to be published
After the sermon the Secretary of the
Home Mission Board read his report. This
board looks after work among the Indians,
the Chinese in California and the destitu-
ton in many of our Southern States and the
West. The churches have responded to the
claims Of this board with gratifying lib
crafty
Eloquent and stirring addresses were
made by Revs. Nunnally and Campbell,
of Georgia, and DR.. Burrows, of Norfolk.
The Virginia churches gave 81 600 last year
to further the work of this board
Ministers Of other denominations present
were invited to seats in the association and
to participation in the deliberations. Rev.
Drs. Carter and Poulson, of the Methodist
Church; DR.. Pollock, of the Presbyterian
Church, and DR.. Nelson, of the Episcopal
Church, responded and received the hand
of welcome by the President.
Parson Massey is present, and is the
liviliest corpse you ever saw.

years. is among US as active as young man
of twenty-five He hasn't drank glass OF

Another Democrat Removed.

The republicans of the House of Repre-
sentatives yesterday succeeded in removing
from his seat Mr.. Finley the duly elected
member from the I'd Florida district and
seating Bisbee in his place. The vote was
al ayes 8 noes.
During the discussion Messrs Kenna and
Cox, of New York, rose respectively to a
parliamentary inquiry and point of order,
and stormy scene ensued which continued
for some time. Mr. Cox insisted that he
had made motion to adjourn, which he had
never withdrawn, "and,' to the Speaker,
''you know it,"
MIR. Page rose excitedly and demanded
that the gentleman from New York should
be respectful to the Chair. [Derisive laugh
ter and shouts of"Oh OH" on Democratic
side.
Mr.. Cox Ito Mr.. Page)-You cannot lee
ture me; you are not Speaker.
The Speaker stated that Mr.. Cox had
Withdrawn his motion to adjourn, and that
therefore, he had not been entitled to the
floor
Mr.. Cox asked to make statement in
reply; but the Speaker stated that he had
already made his statement and that the
Chair was willing that the two statements
should stand side by side.
Mr.. Reed moved to adjourn, and the
Speaker proceeded to put the question, not
withstanding Mr.. Cox's efforts to be heard.
well" said Mr.. Cox, that is what 1 call
brute force; mere brute force
After seating Bsbee. the Republicans pro-
ceeded to take up the LoweJWheeler case,
which will probably be disposed of to-day,
if u quorum be on hand.

TO.DAY's TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES.
To-day's Congressional Proceedings.


AT the hour of assembling the acting
secretary read note from President pro
tenn. Davis, as follows: Gas I shall be
absent from the opening of the session this
morning, under the provisions of rule 4, |
name the Hon. John J. ingalls,. Senator
from the State of Kansas, to perform the
duties of the chair until the adjournment
to-day.
Mr.. Vest made the point that the Presi-
dent pro tenn. had not the power to delegate
a Senator to take Il place which, under the
circumstances, could only be filled by or
elected by the Senate
MIR. Hoar suggested that Mr.. Ingalls, be
declared the presiding officer for the day,
and after some debate, but without action,
the Senate adjourned till Monday.
HOUSE.
The House resumed the consideration of
the Alabama contested election case of Lowe
and Wheeler.
LATER.
The House continued the consideration of
the Lowe-Wheeler case Mr. DINGHY of Maine,
in the chair.
Mr. Horn, of Mich, the champion clown
Of the republican circus, made speech Of
nearly an hours length, which attracted
great attention and frequent applause 1t
consisted of the old time TRADE against
tissue ballots, frauds, intimidatons, ku-klux
and so on which the party which stole
the presidency in 1877 always hurls at the
South, amid IL great many ms-statements
Mr.. Horn got in few really witty remarks
which provoked laughter on both sides, but
the most of his speech was q mixture of
coarse buffoonry and false statements, which
were repeatedly corrected by Mr.. Evans, of
South Carolina, and Mr.. Wheeler, of Ala.
Mr.. Speer followed, indicating the fair
ness of the Elections Committee in the last
Congress by reading a list ofthe republicans
they had reported in favor Of
Mr.. Wheeler then took the floor in his own
behalf but being a very small man physical
ly he mounted a chair and spoke from the
perch until he lost his balance and nearly
fell, after which he went to the clerks desk
and continued his speech

Now THAT the summer has come and
strangers are taking in this city OH their
pleasure excursions, wouldn't it be as well
for the City Council to abate somewhat the
stringency Of the restrictions imposed by
the existing Sunday laws. A cigar, saucer
of cream, nor glass of soda water will do
no more harm on Sunday than on any other
day, and as ii is Il notorious fact that every
resident who wants 4 glass of liquor on Sun
day can get it, there is no good reason why
a stranger who visits the city on that day
should not be allowed the same privilege.
The police are as efficient on Sunday as on
any other day in the week, and just as able
to suppress disorders that may result from
the sale of liquor on that day as on any
other day

Labor Strikes.

Twenty thousand iron workers were idle in
Pittsburg yesterday. The fires arc drawn in
thirty-fve of thirtysx mills in that district. The
same state of affairs exists Wheeling and at other
Western cities. The strikers demanded higher
wages, which the employers state cannot be paid
in the present condition of the iron trade, and
they consent that their mills shall be closed until
the strikers are willing to return to work at the
old wages. The new imported laborers went to
work in some of the Cumberland mines yesterday
and were not molested.

THERE Is IL good deal Of newspaper talk
about the removal Of the remains of Thomas
Jefferson from Monticello to Washington
As previously stated by the Gazette's Wash
ington correspondent, all such talk is gable,
and is only INDUCED by people at Il loss for
other Use for their tongues. Everybody
who has the remotest legal claim to voice
in the disposition of Mr.. Jcllerson'S remains
is perfectly satisfied with their present rest
ing place and utterly opposed to their re-
moval, and as they cannot be removed with
out the consent of those who have legal
control of them, the matter will end rs it
nothing else to talk or write about.
