THERE are some inequalities in Con-
gresham GIBsoN's remarks 10 the inter
7ieweg which require q reference from
the REGIsrER. The REGIsTER gave Mr.
GIBsoN the right to hold and
advocate his opinions and it held the right,
and still holds the right, to differ from
him. What the REGIsTER saw fit to criti-
else vas his reflections upon Mr.. RANDALL.
Also Me-. GIBSON is slightly mistaken in
saying that The REGISTER ought to know,
what all other prominent newspapers
in the country know, that
the Appropriation Committee either under
Republican or Democratic control, has
openly attempted to Illustrate the action OF
other committees in Congress and BY using
its privilege destroyed their equality
l will be seen from these
columns that such papers as
the New York Sun. the New York World,
snd the Atlanta Constitution know and be-
Eeve lust what the REGIsTEE does about
this question.

On one occasion dozen young men
were prscticing from the piazza OF the
Generals hotel at bottle laid on the
broad crotch of o distant tree. The bottle
was round Unless it was hit plumply in
the middle it spun round and round like
top. The young men were good shots, but
now and then they would miss the some
what difficult mark Then the invalid
Senator would chaf them. The young
men finally became irritsted and asked the
General if he could improve upon their
skill. After q little more chatting the
General said:
"Tn tell you fellows what Twill do.
There are twelve of you, but | promise
you each box Of cigars every time you
hit the bottle If you'll promise box every
time | hit il"
They accepted the proposition instantly
"Ill shoot first and, if hit, | m to shoot
again and again until miss" They had
no objection. 80 the General fred twelve
consecutive shots, each time breaking a
different bottle, while the young mems eyes
opened wider and wider.

after the twelfth shot.
No, said the young men, hastily, Il

But the boys never held him to his
promise. They paid their bets, however,
and after that did their practicing when the
General was not around.

LETTING THE BARS DOWN.


With the great pressure brought to besl
upon Congressman by their constituent:
clamoring for liberal and indiscriminste
appropriations, it is not much wonder thai
on last Friday evening Mr.. MORRISON and
his friends carried their point with such a
majority. While a majority Of them may
have been entirely conscientious in their
voting, We still believe q mistake has been
made. The many reforms that the Dem.
ocraey is carrying out may atone for this,
but it would be better if more equitable
system of taxation and q more economical
government were among those reforms
Despite the most careful appointments Mr.
CARLISLE can make, the pressure upon the
various committees will be such that sp-
preparations must necessarily be greatly
increased Meanwhile Republicans will
look on with infinite satisfaction. The
following is what some OF the leading
journals of the county say ofthe question:
Says the Atlanta Constitution: why
will large majority of the Republicans
IN the House vote to distribute the sppro-
prialion bills2 Because they are nstur-
ally in favor of jobbers, aud because they
desire to get the Democratic party out Of
rover.
The New York Sun says I'VE think
that this action is mistake The argu-
men,s in favor Ct the old plan far out.
weigh those urged for the revision. But
the country ism going to be turned upside
down. The appropriation bills one and
all will be carefully considered before they
are passed by Congress and signed BY GRO
SER CLEVELAND
Another stsunch Democratic Journal
the New York World, says: The
vote stood 226 yeas to 10 nays
Forty Democrats mustered manfully with
Mr.. RANDALL The Republicans naturally
voted in favor of the new system of dis
tributing the appropriation bills among
various committees for the reason that
they hope to find in increased sppropria-
tons and extravagsncs c source of en-
bsrrsssmsnt to the Democracy. The lobby
is naturally delighted over the prospect Of
augmented business. The sentiment
of the county viii undoubt-
eddy be that the Democratic House
has opened the frst sesAion of the Forty
ninth Congress With serious mistake. |
The almost unanimous support accorded
Mr. MORRISON sinnoyation BY the RspnbH
cans should have been suffeisnt indication
to Democrats of the improperly, to say tie
least, of the change. "
While the grest body of Republican pa.
,ers rejoice IN seeing this measure, that
