way handled by convicts, when loaded

Gle of transportation. are required to

can be read easily at distance of 100
feet, indicating, that it is the work of
convicts, and designating the place
where it was done. All goods and ma
terial of any description made by con-
victs and not so marked will be for
feited To the United States. and fines
are imposed upon those who knowingly

CAPITOL GOSSIP.

A sensational scene in the room of
the Committee on Elections of the
House yesterday afternoon stirred the
hot southern blood foi, an ,instants but,
fortunately, the excitement blew ovci'
and expected blows did not fall. Cen
eral Chalmers is representing E. w.
Carmack, whose seat to the Tenth
Tennessee district is. being contested
by Josiah Patterson, gold Democrat,
who received the support of Republi
can votes In his argument General
Chalmers recalled a Confederate re-
union held in Memphis shortly after
the eXtinguishment of the.'carpet- bag
reign. That reunion was presided over
by Colonel Patterson.
Relating the incident General Chal-
mers said two Confederate generals,
the one a Re.MbIAan and the other
Democrat, both of equal prominence
in the South, iienthred the hall and
walked down the aisle arm in arm to-
ward. the stage. The Democrat was
invited to asceBd the platform and the
Republican was; LEFT to find Il seat as
best he could in the body of the hall.
Being asked why he did not invite tha
Republican to jhe sHage, Colonel Pat-
terson replied that there was no room
on the stage FIX members of the Re
puDi1cdn party.N - ,S
General Chalmers. told this story in
dramatic faShiogN leading up to
climax, when, thrnfng suddenly to the
chairman of the committee, he said:
THAT Confederate:g general now stands
before you. i swast the other of the
two who walked up that aisle. There
sits the man." he continued, pointing
the finger of scorn at Colonel Patter-
son, " who was too good Democrat to
even sit on the same stage with a Re-
publican Confederate officer. and he
now comes here as q Republican, or a
gold bug Democrat, pleading that he
was cheated out of negro votes that
We're cast for him"
hush fell upon the room, and it
was moment before Colonel Patter-
son could find voice to reply He
flushed violently but only said that he
did not remember the incident related
by General Chalmers.

The memory of President Lincoln is
to be perpetuated by the erection of
magnificent statue on the battlefield
of Gettysburg Pennsylvania The Sen
ate Committee on the Library has sub
mitted report on a bill providing for
this monument, in which it states that
it is the unanimous opinion of the COM
mittee that Gettysburg is one of the
most appropriate of all places for u
statue of the martyred President.
His name must, they say, ever be as
sociated with that battlefield. Like the
wonderful achievements OF the Union
army, his eloquent address at the dedi-
cation of the soldiers monument there
would live in history as long as the
battle was remembered, or the republic
lasts.
The committee say: THE heroes bur-
led in that famous field will be honored
anew by the presence of this statue of
their commander-in-c chief, the man
whom they loved and honored, and
whose name is still fondly loved and
cherished by their children. 1t will
announce to all future generation that
it was there on the field of Gettys-
burg that the thunders of war and the
eioquence of patriotism brought forth
on this continent new nation, and the
new birth of freedom. which, under the
blessings of God. shall last forever"
