The E@scards Libel Suit.

No evidence was taken to-day in the
libel suit of A. W. Edwards vs. The Repasb-
licam. The morning session was occu-
pied in the argument of the motion by
the prosecution to exclude under the an
swer the array of dispositions designed to
show justification. The court, after tax
ing the point under advisement till after
noon, sustained the motion. The defense
then asked leave to amend their answer so
as to admit all the testimony possible to
Justify the publication of the libel and in
mitigation. The court decided that all
lawful and proper evidence could be i'd
mitted, and there will be constant fight
over this point. II is the impression of
those who have watched the case most
closely that the plaintiff will obtain judg-
ment, but perhaps not for large amount.

About Blbulous congressman.

A Washington correspondent says: 7
asked bartender rs to the prevalence of
drinking i'll Washington. He replied:
Most of the Congressman and Senators
drink, though there are n great many
more total abstainCrS now than formerly.
The Southern members drink more than
the Northcrncrs, and they always take
whisky, while your Northern men now

Senator from tho South drinks, and /

here every now and then to his room.
He commences drinking intending to
take only little, but he likes the taste
of tho liquors SO we'll that he can't stop,
and the result ls he gets hoozy and has
to be aided off to his room. The Foreign
Minister'S na Il rule drink, but they sci

'WO have somc curious drinkers

House" continued the bartender. "a
member from South Carolina takes on
an average about forty drinks per day.
He fills his glass to the brim every time
and tells the bartender his sight is bad
and he cant tell how much is in the glass
till it gets too full. Like all the South
crn members he always drinks whisky
and he takes it straight. A member
from Kentucky wants three humps of

negro, once the "Duc dc In Grnnd-Tcrrc,

Paris. He was successful in securing
considerable loan for the black Caesar,
by promising to pay tho most incredible

even going so far as 1000 per cent. He
also bought up an enormous quantity Of
old military uniforms of all European

and other adornments, for the decora.
tion Of Soulouquc's soldiers, generals,
and officers of state. He did not forget
to procure, also, considerable quantity
of French brandy. Soulouquc wos so
delighted with the success of his agent
that he sent word to him that he had
elevated him to the dignity of n Duke.
This made the man II butt for French
wit, and ruined his credit. Then Sou
Tongue became angry at the decrease of
supplies, and, fancying that his agent
was growing careless, he degraded him
INTO Marquis, then to n Count, next to
Baron, afterward to n mere Chcvnlicr.
and ultimately deprived him even of
that remnant of arStocratic distinction,
Meanwhile M. Toussaint-L Lagorillc had
also lost faith in his imperial master,
and began to carry on his husincss on his
own account. When the Emperor was
dethroncd, and fed to Paris, he sum
moncd the CX-Dukc toapprar before him;
but Lagorillo refused to obey the sum

himself property of some 60, 600 francs
upon the interest of which he lived witt
comfort and great sclf-compacclcy t,
