We learn that Chris PoWning
and Bob Lindsay propose to
stump the State in order to in
duce the Republicans to repu-
diate Stewart.
There will be great lot Of fun
when Bob and Chris get on the
road. 1t will be the old comedy
of Don Quixote and SanchO Pam
"a all done over again in the 10Th
century. Everybody expected
that Chris would make some
such laundering break, but we
wonder what induced Bob to go
in, unless it was to have little
fun and be able to have q lot
more reciting to bowling crowds
the history Of the trip. We
hope that Republicans all over
the State will give these two po-
litical refugees every facility for
hiring halls and engaging brass
bands, from now until the Leg
islature meets. Six yea ago

Everywhere the sculptor hears
A voice unheard by other ears
IL half commands and half ontrcats
As this burden II repeats:
"Hlasten, master quickly come
Countless ages, dark and dumb,
Frozen in this prison white,
Has my beauty longed for light
Hasten With thy chisel keen
Cut away my marble screen,
And before your gladdened eyes
See perfect statue rise !"
So at times / strangely hear
Messages distinctly near,
"Tarry not, but set me free ~
Whisper lips well known to me.
"Silence deeper than the tomb,
Darkness raven as the gloom
Wrapping the DEGREES Of Fate,
Here surround me as | wait.
Hasten, hasten TO set free
Thy perfect self that is TO be ~

SOUTH HASHINGTOM.

Mr.. Philip N. Dwyer of Alexandria, Va,
and Miss Sydney q. Harvey, daughter of
Mr.. Peter Harvey, were quietly united In
marriage at the residence of the BRIDES
parents, No. G2S L street southwest, yester-
day morning, only the immediate relatives
being present. The ceremony was performed
by Rev. Father Rockford, formerly pastor
OF st. Dominic's Church, who is an uncle
Of the groom, and who came from Louis
vile, KY, to ofllciate. After the ceremony
an informal reception was held.
The masquerade party given at the resi-
dence Of Mrs. A. b. Lepreux, No. 45S G.
street southweat, last evening was q most
pleasant and thoroughly enjoyable occasion.
About twenty couples were present en-
masque, many Of the costumes being gay
while others were comic and quite ludicrous.
Dancing and social games composed the
principal features Of the programme, which
was only interrupted by an intermission,
during which handsome collation. was
served.

whose critical illness from pneumonia was

him on the road to convalescence.

of similar social organization in that city.

Ehe Pennsyivanian Brings Forth His Regular
Prediction About Adjournment.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, March 25.-Ex.Speaker Ran
dali, chairman Of the House committee on ap-
preparations. has given his usual biennial alarm
about the adjournment Of Congress. He says
that if Congress does not adjourn by the middle
of June it will defeat the Democratic party at
the polls this fall, and he pretends to be very
much worried lest Congress do not adjourn
by that time. This has been Mr.. Randalls stock
In trade for at least ten or twelve years. At
this stage of the first session of Congress he reg
ularly gives out this patent alarm, while for
three months he has studiously worked to make
The session long by delaying appropriation bills.
he did it while he was Speaker of the House.
He did it when he was a minority member of the
committee, over which he now preSides. His
object in talking about an early adjournment is
to impress the country with the belief that he is
in favor Of economy, because 1t costs the people
about $40 a minute to maintain Cangress. His
idea in delaying appropriations Is to control
legislation from now until Congress adjourns for
the summe Legislation in the House. and, in
fact, in both branches of Congress, is completely
within Mr.. Randalps control Appropriation
bills are privileged matters, and, under consider
alton. always have precedence. Taking out of
each week Monday as regular bill day, and the
morning hours for the introduction of bills. and
Fridays as regular private bill day, 1t would be q
hard task for Congress to complete tie appropria-
zion bills. and do nothing else whatever, by the
time Mr.. Randall has mentioned. No one knows
this better than Mr.. Randall, and he knows that
this will not be done. The prospects are that ad-
iournment will be nearer October than June.
From present indications the adjournment will
be some time in August, as has been usual for a
numhar of wears

A AND PORTER.

Reiteration of the Truth of the Statements
Made by General Dent.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON. March 25.-Gen. Fitz John
Porter, through the Associated Press, has contra
dicted, on technical grounds, the truth of a
statement which recently appeared in these dis
patches. 1t was stated that during the first term
of General Grants administration General Porter
asked for the reopening of his case: that General
Grant gave the papers which were used in the
court. martial to General Dent for examination,
and to be briefed; that General Dent, in COM
piiance with General Grants request, told
General Porter. at the White House, in the
presence Of General Grant, that after an ex-
animation Of the testimony he did not think
there was any ground for a new trial, but that
General Porter should congratulate himself
upon escaping such severe penalties as the testi-
mony would recommend, observing at the same
time that the proof was strong enough to have
warranted the court-martial in ordering General
Porters execution 1t was said, further, that
this observation was inaorsed by General Grant.
General Porter says that he never went to the
White House In regard to reopening his case,
and that he did not talk to General Grant about
il. What occurred between Generals Dent and
Porter was not at the White House, and it was
a mistake to say that it was there. It occurred
at another point in this city, but that it did take
place, and that General Dent told General Porter
that the proof was strong enough to have war
ranted the court-martial in directing General
Porter to be shot, there can be no question.
General Dent reiterates that he told General
Porter this, and, further, that General Grant
was of the same opinion. 1t yet remains a mys-
terry what influence changed General Grants
mind In regard to Fitz John Porter.
