Mr.. Critchlow's is the last SEN
sation. He has made bad
break-plunged headlong into
print without cause or justification
and has descended to abuse with
out investigation and if he is not
careful it will take him a long
time to get out of the labyrinth
which he has SO cArelessly entered.
This will prove unfortunate for
Mr.. Critchlow unless he handles
himself very carefully. This is TO
be regretted for he has been
looked upon as bright young
man, but by this break he has
accused his fast friends wrongfully
and set a thousand tongues
wagging that will be hard to
silence.

of Representatives in Congress assembled,

the cities of st. Louis and East st. Louis
under such regulations and restrictions as
he may deem proper, sufficient number
of tents to temporarily shelter such citi-
Zens of said cities as may have lost their
homes by the tornado of yesterday.
The resolution passed by the House
looking to the relief of sufferers at ST.
Louis reached the Senate and unanimous
consent was given to consider it.
Senator Vest expressed his dissent to
the resolution, saying the people of Mis-
souri, and st. Louis were able to take
care of the people and that later re-
