SENATORS WITH SHARP TONGUES.
TT,eir Shafts Hurled at the Reporters

WASHINGTON, Jan. 16.-Senator Lamar says, 'tthat some of the Washington core spondents first print their news and then go around and inquire if it is correct. Others publish lie, and say nothing about it. Both plans are open to objection, but it would seem that the latter class are the more level headed of the two. A man who publishes his own inventions and then skirlnishes around to see how near he comes to the truth may be an honest fellow in his way, but the report CT who writes lie and sticks to it is apt to make 8 stronger impression The Senator's sarcastic remarks were melted by the publica- tion of despatch in the New York World to the effect that he was one of five southern senators who had been constituted an advis- ory board to dictate southern appointments. The other southern senators talk in the same vein, and some of them express surprise that the correspondent after the publication of what they termed 8 ''pure fabrication" shon1d call to see if it was true
