lT is only fair to Kentucky to say that It's
leading newspaper, the Louisville Courier
Journal makes emphatic denial of the SEN
sational report of discovery that the three
men executed for the Ashland tragedy"
of Christmas Eve, 1881, were innocent The
Courfer.Journat points out that this new
rumor Is simply the revival of an old
canard it was told while the men were in
prison, and every assertion was examined
and overthrown. There has never been the
slightest evidence that others committed this
deed. There has never been in the minds of
dispassionate men the slightest doubt that
the guilty men suffered for it righteously.
They had not one, but two and three trials
Twice their cases went to the court OF ap-
peals- Every advantage was taken by shrewd
attorneys Of every device known to the prac-
tice, and In Kentucky these devices are
innumerable, and yet every verdict was
against these men. 1t was crime 30 afro
cious and the guilt was SO clearly proven
that even in Kentucky" the free zone " for
murderers-there was no escape Tor them.

BREEZY DISCUSSION.
Mr.. Auxer said the criticism of the incan.

grace from a member other than one inter
ested in the gas company and raised the
point that Mr.. Baumgardner was an inter
ested party and had no right to vote ON the
question. lie took the position that II the
incandescent light was adopted then there
would be no gas lights, and IL the arc electric
light system Is adopted, there would be sew
eral hundred gas lights, and, consequently
Mr.. Baumgardner was Interested.
The president ruled that Mr.. Baumgard-
ner had Alright to vote,as the question OF gas
was not under consideration.
Mr.. Baumgsrdner said that IL there was a
doubt OF his right TO vote he wanted his vote
stricken off. The gas company in which he
is interested does not want to light the city
lamps, and week ago he went TO the chair
man of the lamp committee and requested
him to withdraw the gas company's bid. The
city authorities can shut of the gas lamps on
June l, or sooner IL they desire.

Z Senator Edmunds has struck another
snag. He has been badly worsted by Beck
He disclosed his discontinue by showing
hts anger; and, failing to answer the cold
facts Of his antagonist, and the merciles
logic Of the situation, he covered himsel
with confusion by displaying lack of sem
atorial dignity and Of even temper. 'He
got mad
Ths Senate has been wasting its own
time and the money Of the public BY discuss
ing the presidents removal Of scalawag
district attorney, named Duskin, in Ala
bama. 1t has transpired that his time
has been up for several months and the
debate is altogether irrelevant and super
fuous. Whether the Senate gets the
papers it asks for or not, it admits to having
no right to interfere with, to control or to
question the free exercise of the executive
prerogative to tumble heads into the
basket.
Now, alas for Edmunds the tables are
turned completely upon him. Beck
showed on the floor of the Senate that the
best reasons for Duskin's removal have
been furnished by Edmunds himself.
Duskin, Mr.. Beck says, was nominated for
district attorney in Alabama in March
1851, and not confirmed. He was again
nominated in October, 1881, and still again
in December Of the same year, but the
senator from Vermont had not felt justified
in reporting his nomination favorable. 1t
was, he continued, shown in the Strobach
investigation that Duskin was unfit to hold
any office, and Attorney General Brewster
was on record to that effect. He hoped,
Mr.. Beck said, growing very earnest, in
executive session, if he could not in pub.
lie, to compel Mr.. Edmunds to produce
the record in his possession which showed
Duskin to be unfit for Office, and to prove
that Mr.. Edmunds, knowing Duskin tc
| have so bad record, had selected his sus
pension as the case in which TO call fol
| papers, hoping that the Democratic ad
| ministration would be glad to state thu
reasons for his suspension and thus affort
the Republicans precedent to hold up il
other and better cases.
Of course Edmunds grew red and whit
by turns. He protested that Beck wa!
letting senatorial secrets out of the execu
tive session bag, but the Kentucky senator
reminded him that he had produced il
open session the Sherman letter from
the judiciary committees book. Edmund'
retorted that he had got permission
to do that, and Beck straightway wen
into the executive session of the Senat
and asked for permission to the same thin,
with the back proceedings Of the Duskil
case.l There Edmunds quailed and de
clined this fair proposition. A more sig
nal parliamentary defeat was never seen
A better exposure of hypocrisy was neve
made. Senator Beck should follow up tn
faying and hang the hide upon the fence

Washington, being too bashful to present
his credentials and be sworn in at once.
he spent day or two looking down upon
that distinguished body from a seat in
the gallery, so as to get the hang of
things little before he ventured on the
floor. His diffidence wore off after lit
tie, and his great fund of anecdote, his
fine vein of humor, his frontier frankness
and originality of character and manner.
drew around him warm friends of both
parties. Standing one day in a group of
Senators who had been questioning him
concerning his adventurous life, Senator
Wilson of Massachusetts said: Il under
stand, Senator, that you had never seen
a railroad until you came East, and that
everything of that sort in the way of
modern improvements was entirely new
to you. Now, | am curious to know
what struck you as being the most Won
derful thing that met your observation ON
this side of the continent?'
Nesmith hesitated moment, then said
"Well, spent my first two or three days
in Washington up there in the gallery,
looking at the Senate, and think what
most filled me with wonder was the
thought that |, who went off to Oregon
years ago poor, uneducated boy, should
be here as member of the highest leg
islative body in the country. That was
my greatest wonder.
"Well-but-I don't mean that exact
ly," said Wilson, who was chiefly curious
about what mechanical contrivance or
invention had excited most surprise,
"but what after that most surprised

"Well, said Nesmith, dropping his Sc

Robert f. Lee, son Of the famous Con
federate general, still lives, on a spacious
farm, inherited, through his mother, from
George Washington Parke Gusts, TO
which he retired Immediately after the
surrender at Appomattox. 1t is at Ro-
konocke, five miles from West Point, in
King William county, Virginia. His
cottage home stands on Il great bend of
the Pamunky, about to join the York
River 1t is a snug bachelors retreat,
and is furnished with many articles for
merly at Mount Vernon. Among these
are some handsome, old-fasbioned chairs,
curious candlesticks, porcelain and silver
ware. The cottage is five miles from any
habitation. He began work on it with
the assistance of only a negro servant who
had been with him in the field. Robert
Lee was a lad when his father fought the
battle of Gettysburg, being in the ranks
Of an artillery company. He has done
much to improve the land, and is kept
very busy looking after it. He has va
rious mementoes Of his father in the
house, which are preserved with flial care.
A fine portrait Of the General hangs in
the dining-room, also the sword which
was not surrendered TO Grant when Lee
gave up the contest. Young Roberts

The conversation closed there. Moth

life were comprehensively expressed in
the generic business Of making ones self

like other people-when they are not

bad sort of thing. Lord Byron, who
was an author,-and when he wasn't

fool-said this:

directions we're carried out a far as the
boiling the bottle Of meat in the pot Of

then mixing the finely chopped and boil
