HE ENJOYED HIMSELF,
An Incident of the Late Campaign in
Which Emory Storrs Is Said to
Have Figured


WATERBURY, Conn, December 49,
In the height of the recent Presidential
campaign here the Republican managers
announced with flourish of trumpets
that the Hon. Emory Stors, of Chicago,
would address a mass-meeting at the
Waterbury Skating Rink, the largest
building in the city. The lveliest indig-
nation was aroused in Republican ranks
by the declaration of local Independent
newspaper upon the announcement of
Storrs' intended visit, that he was a polit-
ical dead-beat. When the distinguished
guest arrived, he was quartered at the
Scoville House, which is the leading hotel
in the city. Judge Lewis, of the Repub-
lican Committee, told Storrs that his ex-
penses would be all settled, and to 90
ahead and enjoy himself. Mr.. Storrs re-
manned just twenty-tour hours, and soon
after his departure his bill, amount
ing to Sl2, was sent in as
directed. 1t was considered formidable
bill by the committee, but, supposing
that Western stump-speakers, and Chi
cago ones in particular, come high, they
paid 1t. Yesterday the gentlemen OF the
committee were almost paralyzed by the
presentation of bill from the bar of the
Scoville House, in which the Hon. Emory
Storrs appears as debtor to the amount
OF over $50 for WHISTLES, brandies, Pom
merry sec and extra dry, besides ale and
Henry Clay cigars, ordered by him during
the evening after his address and con-
sumed by himself and friends. The bill
was not presented until yesterday be-
cause the bartender did not know to
whom to present 1t. The committee
swear that they won't pay "a cent of it,
and it is possible that the bill may be pre-
scented to Storrs himself.

NINE BAD GIRLS.
They Soandalize Southern Society by
Their Conduct.

Inelr conduct.
ALBANY, La, December ls.-For some
time female base ball nine, organized
in Philadelphia, has been playing in
Southern cities. Yhe girls are from if
teen to nineteen years Of age, jaunty in
style, brazen in manner and peculiar in
dress. When they reached this place
their agent obtained rooms for them at
the Artesian Hotel. 1t was not long
before the proprietor discovered that the
character of his house was suffering. All
the swells of the city were around the
place like a swarm of bees. The prsprie-
tor elected the ball-players, and they had
to amuse themselves for several hours at
the depot until the train arrived which
was to take them away. They were &C.
companied by some of the local swells.
Their conduct was of such a character
that respectable ladies got off the cars
and waited for the next train.

At one time last week Senator Koiner
was reported to have signed the order TO
the Governor to call an extra session of
the Legislature. Next it was stated that
he Lad withdrawn his name from the paper.
Then, in Difference TO the action of the
Democratic caucus in favor of an extra
session, he signed again, and then again
withdrew it, and this time for good. He
had probably heard from his constituents.
All of the Senator utterances were averse
to an extra session, and we are surprised
that he should have been influenced to act
against his judgment and convictions.

last Sabbath, his last prior to starting ia

The sermon in the morning was to the Of
fetal boards from Acts Goth, sd, and at
night from corinthians 18th, 14th. Those
who heard him say that both sermons were
able and eloquent. Notwithstanding the
official boards and the majority of his
members and friends express willing
ness to have him returned, there is slight
probability of his doing so, owing to the
condition of his health. An immense
audience heard his farewell sermon and re-
ceiyed it attentively.

A Warning from Mai. Koiner.

The Senator from Augusta county has
on several occasions uttered words Of
warning to his party associates in the Leg
islature, and implored them to reflect 9
| little in their reckless and revolutionary
course. The following report, as publish
ed in the Wing of the 18th, of what he spoke
in the Senate, in reference to an extra SEES
sion of the Legislature, is in keeping with
his conservative instincts, and evidences
that he hesitated to slayishly obey the par
ty mandate, when the peoples interests
demanded otherwise !:
"This morning we were perfectly paral-
yzed to find funds for the University and
Military Institute to save public property
from destruction. We cannot keep money
in the Treasury unless we stop these pro-
positions to increase salaries. 1t is not
practical to continue in this way under our
present condition. do hope and pray we
will stop this flow of money from the
Treasury. / have consented to certain
move [extra session. but shall withdraw
my consent if money is to he appropriated
by augmenting the pay of the State officers.
1t we don't stop. it is time to quit and go
home. l raise my voice against this in
crease. There has not been proposition
for relief this session that has not been
granted. never knew a General Assem-
bly, that some claim was not rejected
None have been rejected this session ex-
cept to refund certain taxes twenty-four
years back. 1t is time to call a halt
Never in the history of the State has parti-
zanism-run-mad held such high carnival as
in the present Legislature, and never have
the interests of the people been so little
considered. The money accumulated in
the Treasury by the careful and wise policy
of the Coalition, as a fund for the pay
ment of interest on the State debt, as it
may be funded under the Riddleberger bill,
and bearing interest, in safe repositories,
at 2 and per cent, is invaded on the most
flmsy .pretexts, Notwithstanding it is a
fund which should be kept sacred for the
purposes it is designed. Expensive inves-
LEGATIONS Of. trivial subjects, engagements
OF annuities. and appropriations for nom
essential objects of various character, are
fast diminishing the amount held by the
Treasury for the benefit of the public cred
itors. The whole regular session has been
exhausted in immaterial legislation, to the
neglect of the more important subjects af-
fecting the interests of the people, and now
it is proposed to force an extra session in
order to attend to matters which it was
the duty Of the Legislature to give primary
consideration. When the acts of this Lee
gislature are consummated and the costs
to the people figured up, they will present
an interesting array for the contemplation
OF the people, and cause a popular revulsion
without a parallel in the history of the
Commonwealth.
