4 GLlTTERiNG INSULT.

Delegate Hughes, of Tyler
county, arising to II question Of
sacred privilege yesterday. asked
the House Of D4leg ltes to appoint
n committee TO investigate the
charge that he received SO. 500 for
voting for Mr.. Scott for Senator.
Mr.. Hughes, it will be remembered
vas one OF the gentlemen on whom
Governor Atkinson relied because
OF his religious iii nations. Mr.
Hughes also achieved some promi-
nencc by declaring Vsrly in The
session that he would MT vote fir
Sc"tt. but a. the earliest nppor:uni.
~ he arrAyed himself in the Scott
ranks.
The Nows trusts that il does not
do Brother Hughes an Injustice
whom it says that Brother Hughes
d.c!ay4tion4 and Brother Hughes
votes, were not en'irly consistent,
aud lrrevcrcnt people, who are not
deeply Imbaei with re.pect for Il
very good man, are always likely to
make unpleasan. remarks about
such Inconsistencies. The fact,
however, that even in common
report Brother Hughes figure was
placed at $4,000 IA i high compll.
ment. 1t is certain that even in
these prosperous times Legislative
votes as u rule do not bring any
thing like So, 500; Ia fact, if report
be correct, some votes were secured
for less than $500.
Brother Hughes, it is stated
feels especially aggrieved at tho
Wetzel Democrat and Petersburg
Sentinel, and threatens to sue
them for libel. The News believee
in discouraging unnecessary litiga-
CATION. and trusts that Mr.. Hug hes
will, after due reflection, be con-
vinced that these newspapers in
charging that he sold his vote for
$4,000 intended only to single hun
out as a man of special promunencs
and Influence, and not belittle
him as a legislator.

declined with thanks, the War
Department and had the happy
thoughts Of working it off on the
poor Culans. But eve the recon
centrados could not stomach it,
and some of the cans bursting
raised such q stencil that General
Breckenridge heard of it and ap-
pointed a Board of Survey. The
result was that the whole outfit
was condemned and ten Thousand
can of ''fresh roast beef were
towed out to sea and sunk. As
tho Whitewash Commission had
just completed It's report to the
effect that there was nothing wrong
with the beef and that General
Miles is to be blamed saying for
that there was, this occurrences will
deepen the conviction, Of the
whitewashers that Inspector
General Breckenridge also has
been guilty of shameful conduct,
in casting reflections upon the
Honorable Secretary of War, the
contractors and the late Commits
sary General. In fact this nay be
one Of the extenuating circum-
stances alludsd to by the President
IN his order retaining Eagan on the

a conspiracy in the army against
the issue Of rotten beef, even to
starving Cubans. If there is any
Of the stock remaining it might be
sent to Manila aad distributed
among the recalicltrant Filipinos.

deadly as Alger beef, oy this means

II. IL. REEDS POETRY.

EDITOR ARGUS Seeing a piece
of startling news from "Pro Bono
Publico," stating that Mr.. II, ed
has made a sale of his poetry to the
Kingwood Electric Light Go. for
the purpose of Dug killing.
Now, there are several kinds of
bugs, but the most pestiferous are
big bugs, who disdaln all other
species. | don't think it fair fer
"Freethinkcr' and PRO Bono
Pnblico' TO take assumed ''noms"
to twit Mr.. Reed, who assumes his
true me-. Now, upon Mr.. Reeds
authority, "Frcethinkcr" is both
dead and buried aud not likel; to
DC ever rosurrccted. since no n
cares for him. His first attempt ut
poetry killed him.
Nov, MIR. Eliter, | wish to say
something reg riding the last poetry
OF Mr. Reed. Mr.. Reed is IA good
genial neighboI, who attends The
church at Recdsville, vand IS IL
member of good standing in suid
congregation and IL constant reader
Of the Bible. Now | want your
readers to open the Bible and see
Psalms, cxyI CHIP, IL verse, 81
said IN my haste all men are liars"
David admits that he was hasty in
application of all men being liars.
yet he was not the only prophet
vino said "a similar expression. Saint
Paul, in his letter to the Romans,
(chap. 3, verse 81, admits the same.
Now, Mr.. Reed has the sanction of
apostles and prophets for calling
"Freethinker" a liar, and if he
had friends, they would surely see
that his tombstone verse was writ.
ten for him thousands of years ago.
SO, when we come to the looking
glass, "a man is not so much worse
than his n~elghbors after ALL" Now
see Matthew, 9TH chap. 22d verse,
where our Savior said, "Whosoeyer
shall say thou fool, shall be in
danger Of hell fire." Now, Mr..
Reed called "Freothinker'' a fool,
but that should not have went so
hard with him as to kill him. l
have lived long enough to know
that | am a fool, while GONE have
not found that out. / am no poet
or ! might be induced to respond
in o poetic style. Mr. Reed IS a
poet and can reply to al inquirers.
Now, Mr.. Editor, it IS time that
the sober second thought Of the
public should take sway in The
matter Of candidates who are seek
ing positions from the pnblic favor.
All parties should vie with each
other in making political prefer
ment Az honor. A man Of honor
bates to 90 through the ordeal ~ a
campaign. The man, fitted for "a
position, seldom asprres for IT,.
Now. for Mr.. Reeds bcueft. /
will give tho two first letters Of my
name 10 the public and hope to
have a response.
