The "irrepressible conflict" was come
menced at Washington In the caucus OF
the Wing representatives in congress
at the capitol. on the night of Satur-
day, December /, 1S49. A calm ex-
preston of opinion was expected as
from band of brothers. assembled for
the common enemy, but to the amaze
ment of all, save those in the secret,
Mr.. Toombs, OF Georgia, rose, and after
preliminary address, offered reso-
luton asserting that Congress ought
not to pass any law prohibiting slavery
in the territories of California or New
Mexico, nor any law abolishing slavery
in the Dintrict of Columbia" A dis
cussion ensued, at the close of which
the motion was laid on the table, where
upon Mr.. Toombs, with four other
southern Wings; rose and left the
room.
The result of this detection defeated
the election of Mr.. Winthrop to the
speakership, as some of the ultra aboli-
ton northern Wings also refused to
vote for him. They had taken the
same ground two years previous, when
one of their number, Mr.. Palfrey, of
Massachusetts,, wrote to him demand
ing certain pledges which would be
satisfactory to the anti-slavery senti-
ment of Massachusetts,. These Mr..
Winthrop refused to give, saying that
if he was to occupy the speakers chair,
he must go into it without any pledges
of any sort. He had not sought the
place; he had solicited no mans vote,
but he had uniformally said to all who
had inquired of him that his policy in
organizing the house must be sought
for in his general conduct and character
as public man. Still less could he
feel it consistent with his own honor
for having received and accepted gen.
eral nomination. and just on the eve of
the election to frame answers tospecitic
questions to be shown to few gentle
men as Mr.. Palfrey had suggested, and
to be withheld from the great body OF
the Wings.
Finally, on the last day of the third
week of the session, it was determined
that the individual receiving q plurali-
ty of the votes should become the
speaker. Howell Cobb, of Georgia,
received 102 votes, and Robert @. Win
throp, of Massachusetts,, received 10C
votes. Twenty Wing votes of ultra
northern and southern men were scat.
tered, and then and there commenced
the sectional fight which ended in the
long and bloody war following the
secession of the Southern States

shoes that will restore the original
lustre, and at the same time do no
harm to the leather, is a problem
that has engaged the attention OF
leather men for years. ''Imperial
Lustre" seems to be the only article
that gives a bright, enduring polish
and leaves the leather as soft and
pliable as when new. 1t is sold at
20 cents by Broughton, and it is only
fair to say no other dressing of equal
merit can be sold at less price.

There are several papers published
in the United States which help to fill
up Jerusalem with these harmless
members of the great crank fraternity.
These papers urge people to emigrate
to Palestine to await the second COM
ing, and resort to all sorts of prevari-
cations in order to accomplish this end.
1t is held, for instance, that comfort
able living can be made by tilling the
soil or carpentering in the Holy Land.
Nothing could be more false, and the
stern poverty of nearly n score of fam
lies here attests this. Consul Merrill
has on hand half dozen applications
for governmental assistance in getting
back to America. There are men who
come to the consulate and plead with
tears in their eyes for help in the direst
pecuniary emergencies. They are pen
niless, and have hungry families to
feed. OF course, as the government
only extends aid to disabled Sc 4men,
Consul Merrill has TO say no, or else
make wholesale missionary of him
self by diving into his own pocket;
and the princeIy salary which Uncle
Sam pays his foreign representatives
hardly warrants such course. Some
of our Levantine agents have dubbed
together in the past to relieve such dis
tress, but the bushes proved too cost
ly.
Any newspaper that will advise peo-
pie to forsake favored America for this
pauper land, ought to be suppressed by
the law.
OF cranks, pure and simple, in.whose
crankiness there seems to be no method,
there is q great variety.
One man is planting a field which he
calls the Kingdom Of God. He is Que
of body of five believers, the associa-
tion being based upon the fact that one
of the parallels represents five wise
virgins The men do not claim to be
virgins, but they are five, and doubtless
they consider themselves wise. A little
something must be permitted on the
score Of poetical imagery in the para
BILE.
There was perpetual motion crank
there up to about year ago, but be-
lieve he has drifted back to America
now to get patent upon his invention.
In these days Of the Salvation Army it
will create no surprise when it is an
nounced that one individual has been
wont to assume the role of Gabriel,
parading the streets on set days and
vigorously blowing trumpet. Another
man fancied that he was John tho Bap-
tist returned to Palestine, and went
about for time girdled and clad some
what as the New Testament account
leads us to believe that the forerunneI
was clad. Failing to create such sen
sation as he had hoped in this way tc
do (for various cliques are too tenacious
of their own views to nibble at any such
bait), he gave up the religious business
and devoted himself to hilarious time
generally. Perhaps he fancied that he
was called upon to personate the pro
digal son temporarily and waste his
substance in riotous living. He finally
got away to Smyrna, tried the sancti
monious dodge there with our too-gen
erous Consul, and started back home
on the steerage ticket which was the
result of his opportunities.
