Mr.. Fielder is doing the cause OF the
neople splendid service by the fearless
and efficient manner in which he is ex-
posing the combination that is trying to
control the politics of Georgia, and par

ring politicians.
He is faying the backs of the Go6er
contingent, of which Mr.. Atkinson is a
conspicuous ally, with keen and pene-
trating blows SO righteously inflicted
that the friends of truth and justice ap-
plaud his caustic utterances. His ar
raignn1ent # Mr.. Atkinson upon his
conduct in connection with the Gober

est methods in politics and the affairs of
state.

COXEY AND CONGRESS.
The Armys Arrival in Washington is
Finally Made the Subject of
Senatorial Action.

WASHINGTON D. c., April 10Th
The Coxey army question received
its first recognition in the United
States Senate, yesterday, The
question was brought up in Execu-
tive session and was under consider
alton for an hour and a half, the
Senate remaining in session until
$50 o'clock No formal action was
taken and the manner was consider
ed very irregularly upon a
suggestion that as there we're sew
eral organizations of men approach
ing Washinton with the avowed
purpose of forcing recognition in
the way of legislation, it behooves
Congress to decide what it would
do in case of arrival of large mum
bers of men of the character and
with the purpose of Mr. Coxeys fol-
lowers.
Senator Harris, speaking from
the committee on rules, replied to
the suggestion by saying that the
committee had had the question
under consideration and after an
examination of the statutes bearing
upon the question of the invasion
of the capitol grounds by organized
bodies of men had reached the con-
clusion that the laws now on the
statute booG made ample provision
for the protection of the buildings
and agreed that the committee
would take the necessary steps to
see that the laws were executed.
There was a meagre attendance
of Senators while the question was
under discussion, but many of those
present spoke briefly, a majority of
them expressing the view that no
danger was to be apprehended ex-
cept possibly from thieves and 9th
er hard characters, who might
take advantage of the presence of
the Coxeyites to make trouble and
the opinion was general that prep
arations should be made to look af-
ter them very closely. The impress
sion also seemed general that the
regularly organized police would
be capable of executing the laws
during the presence of the army
and that it would not be necessary
to make any especial show of armed
force.

POISONING IN INDIA.
A Popular Manner of Disposing of
Obnoxious Persons in That
Country.

Although the English govern
ment keeps strict surveillance over
its subjects in India, it does not
seem able to stop the wholesale
poisoning going on, every day and
month of the year, among the ma
tives of that country. 1t seems,
says a recent writer in the Eastern
Press, to be a distinctive trait of
Native Hindu character to poison if
he desires to get rid of some one
who is in his way. The poison,
which the natives use produce about
the same symptoms as the poison
of a snake The victim dies sud
denly and is cremated within an
hour or two after death, so there is
no opportunity of Investigating the
cause The poisoner, to further
deceive, usually makes a cut in the
leg or arm with a knife, such as the
fangs of the snake would make, so
that it is difficult to distinguish a
victim Of the snake from the victim
of the poisoner There are thous-
ands of deaths put on the govern
ment registers every year that are
attributed to the bites of snakes.
I'll venture to say that but a small
percentage of these are from this
cause, In travelling through India
it is rarely that a snake will attack
you, for as soon as it hears anyone
approaching it glides away. Europ-
cans are seldom bitten, on account
of the boots and leggings they
wear, but the natives, who go bare
footed, occasionally steps upon a
reptile which strikes them and
death results in a few hours. The
English government offers siXpence
for every poisonous snake killed
in India. ! know Of some places
where natives went into the busi-
ness of breeding cobras for the pur-
pose of getting this bounty and
made good business out Of 1t. In
Lower Bengal, where snakes are
held to be sacred, you find them
in profusion, for it is considered
sacrilege to kill them, | remember
a house in which | resided in that
district in which it was usual to kill
one or two cobras a day. Snakes
had got between the walls of sun
dried brick, and once in a while
would steal out of the hole like a
rat.

CONGRESS WILL NOT ACT.

Yesterdays telegraphic news,
from Washington, D. c., indicates
very clearly that Congress will re-
fuse to take any action in the
Breckenridge matter, despite the
pressing influence brought to bear
on its members from on the out
side.
AS the result of a thorough can
vass among members, at Washing.
ton, it is announced that the feeling
among leading Congressman, on
both sides of the House, is that no
legislative notice will be taken Of
the deplorable scandal in which
their colleague, from Kentucky, is
so hopelessly involved.
AS yet none of the petitions or
resolutions asking for Mr.. Breckin
ridges expulsion have reached the
House. When they come they will
take their usual course and will not.
likely get further recognition than
having the caption read to the
House and then gong to swell the
tons of accumulated petitions,
There is some difference of opin-
ion among veterans of the House as
to the right to pass on questions Of
morality affecting members. One
of the best lawyers in the House
said the constitution gave ample
authority, He cited the case of
Brooks, who was expelled from con-
gress for assaulting Charles Sumner
with cane, According to another
authority any wrong doing shall be
passed upon by the members con-
stituents,
So far as Congress is concerned it
is obliged to accept the certificate
of members election without 60
ing back of the returns and invest
igating his private character.
But the burden of congressional
opinion is against this view, A
case in the fourth Congress is cited
in which Representative Lyon was
tried for splitting in the face OF
Representative Griswold and mar
rowly escaped expulsion. This, like
the Brooks case, was an offense
committed on the floor of Con.
gress,
There appears to be a dearth
of precedents on the offenses
committed wholly outside of Con
gress,
