'The second volume of s'Twenty Years of Congress will be given to the public next week." said the Augusta Journal of Saturday. ''Mr. Blaine finished his work upon it on Tuesday of last week. He be- gan it directly after the presidential elec- tion, November, 1885, and has worked without intermission for fifteen months. He was engaged for fourteen months on the first volume. The second volume is considerably larger than the first. The first contains twenty-six chapters, covering 646 pages, while the second con- tains twenty mine chapters, covering 724 pages.

 western New York, who was visiting Washington, went to the senate to get a glimpse of the famous lawyer. When his emaciated figure was pointed out by the doorkeeper, the old man is represented to have gazed long and earnestly at it, and finally to have exclaimed in a commiserat-

Extract from speech by J. M. Wall in a national league meeting in New York, Monday night :-ttDuring recent travels in Ireland have seen people in County Donegal gathering seaweed and cooking it for food. After paying the rent they had nothing left to buy proper sustenance with. And these people were arrested on complaint of the landlord who claimed to own the seaweed and sent to jail for two months. In view of this we are told to be philosophical and thank God for the privilege of being an integral part of 'sthe richest empire in the world" In face of such wilful abdieation of the functions of government, is it not just that we should get chance to govern ourselves John B.

Henry Bannello, stranger, was arrest ed at Buffalo, N. Y., Monday afternoon, as a suspicious character. On being searched diamonds and other jewelry to the value of $500 were found. He confessed they were stolen in, New York city. A New York detective who went to take charge of the prisoner Tuesday, stated that reward of $500 had been offered for his arrest in New York. The prisoner, who is an English cockney, only 25 years old, with smooth, boyish face, is one of the most daring burglars in the country. Among other exploits he entered private residence on Lexington avenue. New York, some time ago, and stole jewels valued at $500. At the last place he visited, a woman sick in bed and alone, was obliged to lie still and see Bannello carry off her yaluables.

His retention is based on the cardinal principal of civil service reform, for and faithfulness in office. He was first ap- pointed in 1878 by Gov. Hubbard (dem. ), and has been reappointed in 1880 by Gov. Andrews (rep.), in 1882 by Gov. Bigelow (rep ), in 1884 by Gov. Waller (dem. and now in 1886 by Gov. Harrison (rep). A New York millionaire banker said not long ago that he would willingly leave SIG, ,0OO,- 900 in MT; Hyatt's hands for any length of time confident of getting it again when ever he might ask for it.

Ansonia Sentinel: There is one thing the newspapers in this state should do, and that is to completely ignore all Con- necticut ''news' printed in certain New York journals with the word ''special' prefxed thereto. One day last week the World had Especial" detailing brutal assault on young girl in Southport, and stating that she dled that night Several of the Connecticut evening papers appro- priated the story and gave it exteLded circulation It transpired that drunken man had somewhat frightened the girl, but she didn't die; on the contrary, she was able to attend school the next day. The same paper also had Q highly colored story about the exhumation of the body of young lady in the Birmingham cem- etery by her superstitious relatives. That afternoon the story was reproduced in 8 number of Connecticut papers. Instances of this kind occur nearly every day.

 A BOGUS silver dollar has been hscov- cred. It contains less than dollars worth of silver, but while this does not make it bogus, the meanness of stamping ''one dollar" on coin that is not good for dollar is as great if the act of a private individual as if it were the act of gov ernment. But while this dollar contains even less silver than the coined lie issued by the government, it is put out by an ln- dividual swindler Hunt the rascal down
 A RESOLUTION has been introduced into the legislature reducing the terms of su- perior court at Holland flom four to two annually. It is but a few years since the number was increased from three to four, and if the pressure of business is to inf1u- ence action there is more need ct this time of an increase than of decrease of ire quency of terms. Parties who have busl- ness at the court, and have experienced the vexaious delays common in getting attention, will see no sense whatever in the proposed change. The movement is supposed to originate with the judges, and should have vigorous opposition from this county. This section of the state has rights and should maintain them stoutly. If the judges are overworked, reinforce their nnmber, or else find men who cat stand all the onerous duties now i'm posed.
 THE house and senate is giving much time now to the Fitz-John Porter case, and will probably pass bill restoring him t0 the rank from which court mar. tial deposed him during the war. We are an indulgent, forgiying people, and our 1ri- dignation naturally softens down with time. There are very few people now who will feel sorry to have the accused period of punishment terminated, much as they may doubt the justice and policy of passing over his censurable acts. It is not believed now, as it was twenty years ago, that Gen. Porter was traitor, never theless in the eyes of military authority his was 8 grave offense, and men have been shot for like conduct. At the best that can be said for him he ignored the orders of his superior, and in the field of battle used his own judgment, as to his movements. One can readily see that such conduct is most reprehensible at such time, when the commander expects his order to be obeyed, and gives other commands with a confidence that each movement is to fit in with each other movement of the various bodies under his command. The situation was aggravated by Gen. Porter's known jealousy of Gen. Pope, his superior officer, and his unsol- dierly criticisms of that general, freely in. dulged in. Gen. Porter may have acted for the best, but his disobedience was nevertheless unsoldierly. Military men differ as to what the effect of his full obe. dience might have been. One fact stands out clear enough-he disobeyed wilfully su order, and undermilitary law commit e g most serious. crime. No one now objects to his pardon, however, except that an example is needed for officers hereafter inclined to ignore commands given wher in the face of the enemy.
