FROM WASHINGTON.
February II, 1888

Tho eyes of tha entire nation seem to be resting upon tho expir- ing Congress, and they seem to ap- preciate the fact, for nj ght and day they are pulling and tugging at the legislative machine and turning out bills with a rapidity that would sur prise any one but an American.
 A favorable report has been or dered by the House judiciary com. mittss upon the naturalization blll, which has been psndln. for some weeks before the committee. Mr. Oates will make tho report, and, while final action upon this bill is not expected during this Congress, the committee belives that it has laid the foundation for effective legislation upon tho subject at the next ssssIon
 The Des Moines river land bill has passed Congress. This bill pas sed Congress last yoar but was vs- toed. Tho reason set forth was it's unconstituti0nallty.
 The Naval appropriation bill which tho House has been increased in the Senate, several new boats be- ing added. Senator Blair, from the Select committee on Woman's Suf. frage, nas reported f,vorably an amendment to the constitution in. vesting women with the rights of the elective franchise.
 In regard ts the admission of the Territories, Ar. Springer sad yes to-day that he vory much feared no compromises would be reached dur ing tho present session, between the Senate and House on the bill for the admission of the Territories, winch is now Tn conference. The dlfferancs are on tho ad mission of Now Mex'co, and the question of submitting the division of Dakota to the people of that country. IL was decided at the conference to re- port to the two Houses that tho con. forces were unable to agree a: present.
 The bill providing for 8 celsbra- ton of tho Centennial of the Con stitution 1t some dsto this year, not yet fixed, was reported in the Sen ate yesterdsy as an amendment to tho Sundry Civil bill, and in that shape will. in All probability pass both Houses and become law at this session,
 The Houss Committee on For eign Affairs approve the idea of offsrisg the bill fer he psrmnent exposition of tho three Americas in '92 as an amendment to tho Sundrv CIvll bill, and It will be done st the propsr time. The committee is also determined to try to get night for the consideration of the various exposition ana celebration bills already reported by it.
 The Samoan question seems to be progressing quietly the excitement having passed away. There is to be no serious hitch betwesnt the Scnpte and House In regard to tho proper protection of our interests in Samoa. In sight of that old flag and an appropriation Congress tor gets politics and gets right up on its sturdy American legs.
 The resignation of Mr. Sswall, our Consui-Gensral to the Samoa Islands, has becn called for, upon the ground that ms views are not in harmony with those ofths State

 SIR: In an editorial in THE SPRINGDALE NEWS of the 8th inst. a paper published by you, I fnd that yoa have mentioned my name Tn connection with applicants for the P. 0. at this plaee. You state that IS. Martin would like very much to work for Uncle Sa. as postmaster, and that MT. Martin wants tho rascal turned out" In the two cases concerning mo you nave LIED. l am not an applicant for the postoffice at this or any oth. erPlace, nor have 1 ever called MT. Winton, tho P. N. at thi. place, a rascal. I regard him personally, gentleman. You, not 1 have called Mr. Winton a rascal.
 l hold myself personally respon- slble for this communication
 Yours Respectfully,
 5. MARTIN.
 lmmediatel y upon receiving the above we went to Hr. hartin and attempted to explain that the quo tation, rascal turned out" was taken from the famous expression of turn the rascals out" but the pompous old gentleman stubbornly refused to accept our explanation We asked MT. Wlnton what appli- cation hs put upon tho passage and he construed 1t in the same light as we did. In fact that is the only meaning that can be put upon it by any one that ever read newspaper. arc has common horse sense. Still MT. Martin will not accept the expla- nation but stoops below the level of . gentleman and calls us larl So mote 1t be. We could turn right around and FAITHFULLY call Mr. Martin liar Gas ws wrote no edl torlal about him, and the passage he quotes never appeared in our pa perl but that would prove nothing, and besides, ''liar" is word that should not be lightly used by gentleman.
 Now about MT. Martin being An applicant for the postofie. Since eur last issue we have learned that he is not now an applicant, but al one time was, and had hls petition in circulation pat withdrew 1t. So we were mistaken about that and have tho manhood to acknowledge it-which, by the way, is moro than he has
 We know exactly what has exci- ted the venomous nature of "Majors Martin toward us. It isn't this postoffce business, not by any means Our article last week Tn regard to the Ft. Smith Journal correspondent got so close to him that it hurt, and in tho postoffice matter he deludss himself with the idea that hs has . cause whereby he can scurrilously abuse the editor of this paper, and soothe his woun- dsd feelings. MT. Martin has now, moro than ever, shown his close re- laiion to the long cared animal that Balaam rode.
 We leave the public to judge as 10 who is the liar.

NIGHT CAR JACK.
The Eccentric Little Dog With Unac

PHILADELPHIA TimeS.t

countably Strange Habits.

"Jack'' is a fearfully dissipated little
dog He is out with the boys every night
of his life from midnight until dawn, and
he loafs and sleeps all day. He belongs
80 car No. Al, which leaves the depot of
the Chestnut and Walnut Streets Passen-
ger Ra ilway Company every night as the
clock strikes twelve. He will ecknowl-
edge no human being as his master, but
his allegiance to that old green car is I'M.
swerving.
Accor ing to the driver, whose name is
also Jack, this very queer little dog first
appeared at the depot about six months
ago. He dropped in at about supper
time, and watched with hungry eyes
the drivers and conductors as they
discussed the contents of their
tin pals. They threw him some
scraps which he quickly gobbled up, and
wagging his tail forthwith made friends
with all the men. Then he waited around
until the night car started out. OF his own
free viii he followed it down Chestnut
street. as far as the bridge. There
he stopped and waited until 1t came back
again, when be accompanied it to
the depot. He went through this pro.
gramme every night for three months, az
ways stopping at the bridge. The car
makes three trips nightly. So did little
Jack. About three months he followed
the car across the bridge one night, and
keeping close to the horses he went down
Chestnut street all the way toiFront, where
the car turns down to Walnut street. He
turned down Front street, too, and went
back with No. 81 to the depot He has done
this three times night ever since. When
he gets to the depot he climbs into tbs
car and sleeps for half an hour between
trips on the seat While on duty he can
not be induced to enter the car, no matter
what the weather may he. He is a keen
hunter and has wonderful scent for cats.
He can run like the wind, and a cat has TO
skim over the ground like swallow to
get away from him. At the depot, how
ever, there are number of kittens who
tumble all over Jack and plague him to
their hearts content, Snd he never growls
at them.
Jack was stolen a couple Of davs ego,
bat last night he reappeared with piece
of broken rope around his neck to show
his old friends that il wasn't his fault that
he had not been on duty. Why any one
should wish TO purloin Jack is my stsry,
as he makes no pretensions to blue blood,
and his particular combination of breeds
Is never seen n a dog show.
