Hon. Henry G. Davis was in
Wheeling, W. Va, recently, and was
asked by an interviewer in regard to
the mention of his name in connection
with cabinet position. He had no
hesitation in freely saying that his
name was used by his friends without
his seeking; that if the PRECEDENT elect
had proffered him cabinet position
such an honor would have came I'M
sought and unexpected. OF course
with Senator Bayard in the cabinet it
would bar the representative of any
other border State occupying posi-
ton there also. Mr.. Davis is. highly
pleased with Mr.. Cleveland, and pre-
diets he will show unusual energy in
his administration, coupled with a
tirmness of purpose that will cause
weaI-nerved men to shrink.

The Ossawatomie Massacre.

dreL?-GoU. Robinson'S Opinion.

In Kansas the discussion whether
John Brown was martyr or mere
mud martyr has broken out afresh
and with renewed virulence, and
there is strong demand for Senator
Ingalls, to write another magazine ar
ticle on the question. Governor Rob
inson, the first Free State Governor
of Kansas, who first championed
Brown, now claims that, subsequent
facts compel him to reverse his bat
terics and change his convictions.

Cured. / had been absent from the

weeks and knew nothing whatever of
the situation of the Ossawatomie re-
gion. was told that the pro-slaycry
men there had inaugurated war of
determination on the Free State set
tiers, and that this massacre had put
q stop to it. This was uncontradicted
and I had every reason to believe
there was some foundation in fact for
such statements as were made. Had
that view proved correct. my apollo
gies for Brown would have continued
but, unfortunately, it has no founda-
ton in fact, and the conclusion is in
evitahlc that John Brown, by that art,
intended to involve the sections in
war, and not TO protect Free States
men. The men killed by Brown had
committed no crime nor had they
threatened to do so. believe now
that Brown was ready to kill any pro-
slavery man he could find, simply
because he was pro-slavery.

Ever since the recent tax title de-
sion Of the Supreme Court a certain
class of the press has kept up con-
tinuous harping upon that subject.
1t would be taken from some of the
arguments advanced that the SUI
preme Court is endowed with the
power to make right wrong, and
wrong right. Such would be the
necessary condition of things were
ALL the laws as passed to be con-
strued so as to suit the people at
large. There is, no doubt, certain
amount of Injustice to which prop
erty owners are liable during the ex-
istence of the present condition of
the tax laws, but the cause is trace.
able, not to the decision of the Su-
preme Court, but to the laxity of the
laws passed by the last Legislature.
And as that body was too busily en-
grged passing public appropriation
bills to thoroughly consider such
matters of minor importance as the
tax laws-which affect the interests
OF every citizen of the state,-it is
hut proper to overlook the matter on
That account.

From our Regular Correspondent.
WASHINGTON, Dec. IL, 1885.
Since l wrote You the Forty-Ninth
Congress has begun it's first session.
It's opening scenes did not differ
widely from those of past sessions.
As usual, throngs of people rushed to
the Capitol and crowded the specta-
tors galleries. AS usual, hundreds
went away disappointed unable to get
in.
On the floor of the House there
were one hundred and forty new
faets ana one hundred and eighty five
ftmfiiar ones. The desks of members
were loaded with floral gifts from
admiring friends and Mr.. Carlisle in
tie Speaker chair welded the gavel.
and swore in the members as they
stood in semicircle around the bar,
in groups of twenty and thirty.
In the Senate, the old familiar
faces were for the most part at their
accustomed desks. Onthe Democrat
ic side Of the Chamber, however,
some changes were noted. Senator
Voorhees, OF Indiana, was at the desk
long occupied 10y Secretary Bayard.
Senator Walthall Of Mississippi, sat
in Secretary Lamar's former seat,
and Senator Jones of Arkansas was
in possession of the desk that
Attorney General Garland gave up
for Cabinet portfolio. The Cham
Ter was draped in mourning for Mr.,
Hendricks, and Senator Sherman sat
in the late Vice Presidents chair.
The first roll call revealed but five
a.1<entees in the House four from the
South and one from the North. An
unusually good showing for the new
liody.
Pie present Congress bids fair to-
he memorable one. It. assembled

Significance and expectation. For the
f,rst time in twenty FIVE years there.

ahead for the session, such asrevising

counting of the electoral vote.
settling the presidential succession-
and reducing Government expenses.
President Cleveland's first message
was listened to with unusual interest
IN both ends of the Capitol. 1t is
still the chief topic of discussion
here. 1t is pronounced IN able state
paper by many Senators and members
who are antagonstic to its policy.
During the reading of the message.
which occupied one hour and three
quarters. the sentiments of many
Congressman on the various questions

sionS of eountenanee. Those who
agreed with the President that the
continued coinage of silver is an evil,
exchanged no,ls of approval, while
the believers i'll silver scowled and
otherwise manifested their dlsappro-
hation. The Hresident's positive
stand on silver makes it almost cen tail
now that this will be the first engros-
sing subject TO come befSre Congress.

debate, for the advocates Of silver

mined.
The Senate has settled down t."
business with its proverbial prompt
ness. At least two hundred measures
have been presented to it, nearly all
of which were presented at the last
session by the same Senators. Thus
almost every national question
before the last Senate will be
revived.
The House is discussing how to
work b. amending it's rules. 1t is SO
hampered by these rules that weeks
and months are thrown away every
year. Congress is an expensive
necessity. Every hour of a session
costs what would be Il small fortune
to the average workingman. To
simplify its methods of procedure,
to do away with needless Interrupt
tions, to bring the business of the
House within business principles, is
no " the subject of debate.

recess nominations went to the

much favorable comment as that Of

his fitness for the large, complex

the time af his appointment. They

that he is the right man for the
place.
