Why is the Tribune eo quick to
spek out in bebalf of the les-ees of
penitentiary convicts in the South
ern 8tatei?
If w e were to use the Tribune's
logic we would call it "the cham
pion of penitentiary If ssees."
But we will not use such logic.
Fkke trade, free whisky, and
free dog, suggested as a good
political medicine: all to be taken,
however, in broken doses except
the whisky.
Free trade will devour our man
ufactures, free whisky will devour
our money, and free dogs will de
vour our sheep.
The Chattanooga Democrat finds
fault with the Chronicle for quo
ting from the Chattanooga Times.
We hue or a bro ad-mi adtd adver

voted to our business welfare as the
Times we would have more wealth,
more peace, more happiness.
Broad minds meet at the mar
gins. Narrow minds leave a dark
gulf between. We want to see
more good will between the two
grtat parties. Don't we all want to
do good? Mr. Democrat, let us
quit this cat-and-dog politics.
More than fourteen millions of
old Tennessee bonds have been
funded under the act of the last
Legislature.
This is a saving to Tennessee of
$5,60,000 in principal; and a large
saving in interest.
And yet there are men in Ten
BBsee who want to save more.
Thee very men, too, are honest,
men.
How politics can blind!
If it were a business transaction
how differently these men would
regard it.

CONGRESSIONAL,
SEXATE.
Washington, December 27. Sev
eral petitions were presented for the
passage of the bill for the increase
of pensions to one-armed and one-
Icgged soldiers, and also in relation
to the repeal or reduction' of the tax
on tobacco and to allow a rebate of
the tax paid on stocks on hand.
At the close of the morning busin
ness, the Pendleton civil service bill
was taken up, according to under
standing. When the Senate adjourn
ed Saturday night last, the pending
question was on an amendment offer
ed by Senator Hawley, to add as ad
ditional sections the bill reported by
him from the committee on civil ser
vice reform to prohibit the solicita
tion or collection of political contri
butions by the officers of the govern
ment from other government officers
or employes.
Senator Ueck opposed the amend
ment as a sham, because it did not
prohibit such solicitation by all per
sons, whether government officers or
not; and Senator Vest offered again
in another form his amendment to
that effect rejected on Saturday.
The amendments were supported
by Senators Beck, Vest and George,
and opposed by Senators Hawley,
Lapham, Harrison and Sherman.
Senator Vest's amendment was re
jected by a vote of 18 o 27.
Senator George moved to amend
the section of Senator Hawley's
amendment prohibiting the solicita
tion or receipt of contributions for
political purposes in public buildings
so as to extend its provisions to the
whole of the District of Columbia.
Lost.19 to 27.
Senator Blair offered the follow
ing as an additional section: "No
person habitually using intoxicating
beverages, shall be appointed to or
retained in any office, business or
employment to which the provisions
of this act are applicable."
Senator Brown moved to amend
the amendment by inserting after
the word "beverage" the words Ho
excess." Agreed to.
Senator Biair spoke briefly in sup
port of his amendment.
, Senator Jdmaads said the amend
ment as it stood contained the legal
implication that other vices were to
be excluded from consideration by
the civil service commission, and to
cure this defect by inserting after
"intoxicating beverages" the words
"or is guilt v of any other immoral
habit." Laughter. After some
discussion the amendment was
agreed to. Ayes, 32; nays, 16.
Senator Blair's amendment, as
amended, was agreed to.
Senator Plumb offered additional
section, which was adopted, provid
ing that where two or more members
ot a family are in public service in
the grades covered by this act no
other members of such family should
be eligible to appointment in such
grades. '
Senator Plumb offered also an
amendment tixmg the term of office
of appointees at six years, subject to
removal for cause and allowing a re
appointment without recommenda
tion; but providing that no person
(should be permiited to remain in of
fice longer than twelve years. Lost.
Senator George tffered an amend
inent providing that the sending, by
mail or otherwise, to any governi
ment officer or employe any letter or
print containing a solicition of con
tnbutiona for political purposes or
the receiving of such communica
tions by mail or otherwise should
come under the penalties prescribed
in this act. Lost.
Senator Brown offered the follows
ing: As nearly all public positions
are now filled by Republicans, it is
further enacted that when the board
of examiners ascertained by a pub,
lie examination, which shall be free
to. all applicants, that two, or if
there be more than two of equal
qualification and merit, then from
those of the highest grade of quali
fication they shall select from among
those best qualified one whose po
litical affiliations are with the politi
cal party hiving the lowest number
in position, until there is at least an
approximation to an equal share in
the patronage of the government
among those who bear equally its
burdens; and that after such approx
imations to equality is reached it
si. all be illegal for such board in
future to inquire into or consider
the political affiliations of any appli
cant for position.'
Senator Brown advocated this amendment
as a measure of justice, necessary in order
to make a fair start under the proposed
law. - - -.

The bill having been considered in com
mittee of the whole, was reported to the
Senate and all of the amendments adopted.
in the committee were agreed to, except
one offered by Senator Blair, in relation to
the use of intoxicating liquors.
Senator Bayard asked for a separate vote
upon this, which he regarded as unneces
sary, tyrannical, and likely to give the
whole reform movement to which the bill
related an air of insincerity. "
Senator Blair assured Senator Bayard
that he had proposed the amendment in all
sincerity and earnestness.
On motion of Senator Hawley, the words
"or guily of any other unmoral conduct"
inserted in Senator Blair's amendment on
Senator Edmunds' motion, were stricken
The amendment, so amended, was then
adopted, by a vote of, ayes 37, noes 9.
Those who voted in the negative were
Senators Bayard, , Call, Cbilcott, Davis of
west Virginia, Jonas, Lamar, .Pendleton,
Pugh and Vance. ; ' ; ; j: .

tion providing that, "no recommendation of

a place under the provisions of this act
which may be given by any Senator or
member of the House of Representatives,
except as to the character of the applicant,
shall be received or considered by any per
son concerned in making any examination
or appointment under this act." Agreed to
ayes, 26; noes, 16.
On motion of Senator Allison the pro
vision in the bill that the chief examiner
should be removed only for cause and after
notice and hearing, was stricken out.
Senator Lgan moved to make the salaries
of the commissioners $4,000 a year. Lost

Senator Brown offered an amendment,
providing explicitly that when a vacancy
occurred selections should not be confined to
persons in office at the time, bat should be
open to other citizens desiring the position,
and that an outside competitor should re
ceive the appointment if superior in qualifi
cations to those in office. Lost. Ayes, 0;
noes, 21.
Senator Jonas said he was in favor of a
reform of oivil service, and he had waited
patiently in the hope that this bill would be
put in such a shape that he could support
It, but he was disappointed. If the amend
ment offered by Senator Pngh, applying
examinations to those in office as well as to
those outside, had been adopted he would
have voted for the bilL But as it stood
now, it was a mere pretense and sham.
He did not oppose the bill as a party man
or as an enemy to its professed object He
believed that the oivil service was, in a
large measure, incompetent, if not corrupt,
and that it needed to be reformed. In his
own city, New Orleans, there was a custom
house which was used as a vast house of
refuge for political outcasts, and he could
not vote for a bill which proposed to subject
new applicants for appointments to exam
ination, while it left those gentlemen un
touched. Senator Brown said that his amendment
proposing an approximately fair division of
patronage between the parties before the
era of non-partizan civil service should
commence, and the other amend
ments, tending toward the former, had
been voted down by the Republican
party vote. This seemed to show very
clearly that the Republicans did not desire
that there should be a fair distribution of
the offices, but intended to hold on to them
so that they might be prepared for any
misfortune that might befall them hereafter.
He could not vote for the bill, which was
designed to give the monopoly of the offices
to the minority party, nor could he see how
the Democrats could support it.
Senator Coke regarded the bill as utterly
worthless, in response to the popular de
mand for a reform of the civil service a
measure which was binding upon nobody,
and which would leave the question still to
be the foot ball of politics; nevertheless he
would vote for the bill in the hope that, by
its passage, the author of it might be en
couraged to stronger and more practical ef
forts in the same direction.
.The bill was then passed by a vote of 39
ayes, 5 noes, all Senators present, exclusive
of pairs, voting in the affirmative, except
Senators Brown, Call, Jonas, McPherson
and Morgan.
Senator Brown moved to amend the tittle
of the bill so as to make it read, "An act to
perpetuate in office the Republicans who
now control the patronage of the govern
ment Laughter. Lost
The Senate at 7 o'clock adjourned.
W ashts gton, December 28. At
the close of the morning hour the
Senate, on motion of Senator Ed
mund, took up the bill reported by
him, from the judiciary committee,
to prevent government officers and
employes from collecting from . or

litical purposes. ' b
On. motion of Senator Hoar the

consideration on the 10th of Jan
uary.
At 1:55 o'clock, the bill to pros
hibit the solicitation or payment of
political contribution by government
employes, was passed just as it came
from the judiciary committee.
Numerous amendments were of
fered and rejected.
. Senator Sewell moved to take np
the Fitz John Porter bill.
S nator Sherman . appealed to
Senator Sewell to give way, in order
that a vote might be had on the
bonded whisky bill, but Senator
Sewell declined to give way until the
Porter bill should have been taken
up.
The Senate then, by a vote of
22 to -21, took np the latter bill.
Senator Sewell was willing that
the bill should be informally laid
aside to permit Senator Sherman to
call up the whisky bill, but unani
mous consent was required, and
several Senators objected, so the
Senate proceeded with the Porter
bill.
Senator Logan proposed that its
friends should speak tosday, and
said he would occupy two or three
hours to-morrow in opposing it.
Senator Conger protested against
any arrangement for the final dis
posal of the bill until it should have
been first considered by the full
Senate. ,
The conclusions of the military
board, composed of Generals Scho-
faeld, Terry and dretty, were read
from the report of the committee 6n
military affairs, made in May last.
Senator Sewell then addressed the
Senate iu support of the bill.
At the conclusion of Senator Sew
ell's remarks the Senate went into
executive session, and soon after
adjourned. . ....

This above organization will inaugurate a
brief season of grand and comic opera. It
may be said of Mr. Hess' company that it
is the only one iu this country organized to
successfully present both grand and comio
opera. There are eoinio opera companies
ad nauseam, and there are light opera com
panies, a few, but the Hess company can
and does present both classes, and presents
them in a very superior manner! , The
company has a harmonious balance in more
than a melodic sense. ' It has excellent sing
ers, who can also act " It has artists with
peculiar qualifications . for the respective
roles assigned them. It has a large and
well balanced chorous, and last, but not
least, the representations are all properly
costumed.
Of the individual artists, it' may be said
that they are of a metal worthy the leader

Diseases Lungs ask Gbsatli on an In-
cbxa&x m this Countbx. The sudden
changing of the weather has done much to
give rise to Consumption. But there are
thousands of cases who bring it jm by their
own imprudence such as weagipg damp
clothing, and going from the warm room
into the cold air, and checking the perspira
tion, which causes irritation of the lungs,
and then matter or phlegm will collect,
which nature will try to relieve by coughing
it up, to prevent pestules from . f ormingr
If nature does not raise the matter with
ease, and stop this inflamation, tubercles
will soon form, and consumption will soon
follow. Allen's Ixrsa Balsam will cure
and prevent thousands of cases of Consump
tion if it is only taken in time.
