THE ROSE SHE GAVE.
This-the rose she gave 10 me,
with Afs orfvpaoo elem.

This-the rose she gave TO me,
With its crimson tips:
Red--as any rose should be,
Having touched her lips.
And with something Of her grace,
And the beauty Of her face.
This the rose she gave to me;
Bloomed where south winds stir;
Hid It's honey from the bee
For the lips Of her.
Through long days disquieted
For those lips to kiss red.
This--the rose she gave to me;
Never rose 20 sweet.
Here the heart Of sprinstime see
Lean and hear " beat.
Life and oil Its melody
In the rose she gave to me.

CONGRESSIONAL.

A critical stage of the financial discus
sion was unexpectedly precipitated in
the Senate at late hour yesterday
evening, just before the Senators were
preparing to 60 home. Intermittent
reference had been made to the sub
ject throughout the day. but it was
without definite form and purpose, and
the Senate finally lapsed into q discus
sion of the District Of Columbia appro-
priation bill. But the financial ques-
= N arose incidentally, and, finally, at
I've o'clock. Mr.. German launched into
a speech which proved to be one of the
most effective he has delivered at the
present session of Congress. He point
ed out the gravity of the treasury sit
uation, intimating that the facts are be-
ing held back, and that an investiga
ton would show startling deficiencies.
He defended the Senate against charges
ofimpotency, and declared that he had
perfect faith that this great body would
do its full duty before Congress adj
-journed. He said financial remedy
would, if necessary. be added as rider
to an appropriation bill. He made the
prediction that satisfactory financial
bill would pass that body before March
4, Notwithstanding the announced OPP
position Of the silver men. Spurred on
by the energy Mr.. German had sudden
ly injected into the question, the Senate
at once proceeded to consider and pass
three important resolutions calling on
Secretary Carlisle for information con-
corning every detail bearing on reye
nues, reserves, deficiencies, etc. A
warm party debate occurred, during
the day on the question of party ex-
trayagance. Mr.. Chandler, Mr.. Platt
and other republican Senators asserted
that the total of appropriations for this
Congress would reacth 81 DOL 100000.
or a million in excess of the billion ap-
propriated by the Fifty-6rst Congress.
In the House an attempt to pass
bill for the detail of fifty army officers
to give military instruction at high and
normal schools failed. A bill was pro-
posed in the House to make train

FR1DAY EVENING, FEB. /, 1875.

The CASE of Captain Cults,
alluded to tn the Washington
correspondence of yeste days GAZETTE,
affords an apt illustration OF
the way in which the money OF
the TAX ridden people of this country Is
thrown sway, by so-called democra C
Congress. upon unworthy objects.
Though, according to the Congressional
Record, guilty of peeping through key
holes and over transoms at the wives OF
his brother officers who were undress-
ing. of refusing to pay for what he
bought, of unjustifiable cruelty to his
subordinates, of disgIaceful conduct, and
tfsetting fire to a corporal's quarters;
though convicted three times by cours
martial, aud cashiered as many, and
though drawing pension for total dis
ability, while still performing the du-
ties of a twelve hundred dollar office,
the military committee of the House,
with large so called democratic ma
iority has, with single exception,
unanimously reported in favor ofputting
the ex-Captain on the retired list of the
army and to pay him $4,000 year
during the remainder of his life. No
wonder the government has to borrow
money from Wall street bankers to pay
lis ordinary expenses.

There are in all 8, 1872 ex-soldier organ

Solicitor General Maxwell, of the
Department of Justice. has left the
city, previously rendering his resigna-

that the resignation of Mr.. Maxwell
was brought about by personal and
official disagreement concerning the in

United States Supreme Court. A mo-

the constituGonality of the tax before
the Supreme Court Immediately, made
on Monday last by Mr.. Bristow, coun-

by Mr.. Maxwell, on behalf OF the United

MURDER WILL OUr.-The mystery
in connection with the finding of the
bodies of Alex. McClelland and his sou
in pond near Salem, Ill.,, in 1898,
seems in fair way of being solved, and
Wesley Tabor, laborer, residing in
Believille, appears to be the one to tell
the interesting story. He will be taken
to Salem to give evidence of Mrs. Alice
Neal, the divorced wife of Tabor. She
stated that Tabor was at one time very

that he and John A. McClelland, of
