Ed, FREE Press: Saturday the 4th inst,

the 47th Congress, but it did not quit till
Sunday the 9TH. The scenes and disclos-
ures for several hours before the last fall of

painted and every citizen of the United
States get sight. Their conduct was too
absurd and disgraceful even for bawdy

"A Famous Victory"

The following, from the New Orleans
Times Democrat, is not bad supplement
to the "Advice to the South" published In
our last:
Once upon time great commander was
told by his generals that they had won
splendid victory, aud he, after footing up
the results very carefully, replied: "one
more such victory and we are lost" Is 1t
not very much the case with the cotton
grower? He has made vast, an amazing
crop. He has strained the crdulity and up
set the calculations of mankind. But what
has he gained by the transaction Has he
settled with his merchant; has he stocked
his granary and his larder, has he achieved
financial independence He sits there gaz-
ing at q desolate field with gates unhinged,
tumble down stables and empty cribs, az
his comfortless dwelling and haggard work
stock. What is his share in this famous
victory? He can 60 to the grocery on Sun
day and boast with the neighbors OF the un-
precedented number of bales he has shipped
but when he gets home and takes out his &C
counts of sales returned from the metropolis,
do the figures show that he has paid his
debts2
A famous victory, verify; but for whom
Without answering that question, he may
we'll repeat the barbarian chieftain's speech,
"One more like this and am losr!"

\ Chicago paper, in speaking of the
fire which destroyed a portion OF Barnum 5
big show the other night, says: The
coolheaded Barnum, the veteran propre-
tor of the show, was sound asleep in his
hotel at the time the fire broke out.
Some one ran to his room and informed
him that the entire circus was on fire and
was going to destruction Mr. Barnum
looked out at the streaming sky for mo-
ment, and then-quietly turned around
in his bed and went to sleep again. Nor
did he learn till quite late in the afternoon

Yankton Press: 1t is given out as a
rumor by the Sioux City Journal that a
compromise was effected between the
north and south whereby the south was to
drop its legal contest against the capital
commission and as a consideration for this
course the north was to keep out of the
Huron convention. The rumor possesses
no truth. Alex Mckenzie came to Iank-
ton for the purpose of entering into such
an arrangement. if possible, but was met
with decided refusal to compromise on 4
single point. He was assured that any
attempt on the part of his northern forces
to interfere with the Huron convention
would be met with a determined front
and that the admission of northern dele
gates would be positively denied and the
denial enforced. This is the cause of
the inactivity of Bismarck people dur
ing the deliberations at Huron.

inappropriate name for the capital of a
territory or state OF this Union. The
German statesman from whom the name
was derived is a monarchist of the deepest
dye and a tyrant of the first water. No
American town ought to be named in his
honor, and least of all one that is to be
the capital of future State. If the peo-
pie of Dakota have any sense of propriety
in them they will see to it that their cap
ital shall not long bear the name ola dom
ineering and bloody-minded monarchist
who would hang every friend of freedom
in the world if he could. 1t is strange
what taste is often displayed in the nam
ing of towns There are thousands Ger
mans in Dakota, but they ought not to
feel fiattered by the naming of town in
honor Of the tvrant from whose tyranny
they have fled and who has closed the
ports of Germany against one Of the prod
ucts of their industry in this country.
