LIEUT. GOVERNOR I)AI.K, of Ver
mont, found himself in a police-court
_in St. loouis on the 22d of February.
Hi* veneration for the Father of his
country was too overpowering, ami he
became noisy and turbulent under its

IT is claimed that the Democratic
savings iu the House of Representa

jierfluous employes heretofore charged

sand dollar*, instead of eleven thou
sand four hundred dollars, a* stated
last week.
DOBSKY ASH BRADY, the principles
of the star-route ring, are said to be
much depressed and have little hope
of worrying through. Their tracks
have been unexpectedly laid bare by
the testimony of their own trusted
agents, without any apparent prospect
of plausible explanation to relieve
them. Bob Ingersoll, their attorney,
is correspondingly cross and snappish.
He does not look upon the mistakes of
bis clients with the same disapproba
tion that he views the "mistakes of
MOMS."
Tho Itoma Demanded.
The position assumed by (iov. Fat
tison demanding a strict accountabil
ity of all the money drawn from the
State, is bearing its fruit. Senator
I .ant/ the other day ofl'ered in the
Senate a resolution requiring that all
institutions and organizations (whether
charitable, benevolent or otherwise,)
asking appropriations of the State, be
required to lay before the Senate and
each individual Senator, an itemized
account of the actual annual expendi
ture for the year INS' 2, of said institu
tion claiming such appropriations, and
unless this is done no appropriations
shall be reported. An amendment
suggested by Mr. Laird to include the
year 1881, was accepted by the mover
and the resolution passed. Thus every
institution seeking State aid, is re
quired to make a report under oath of
its ex|>euditures in detail for the years
lsl-82. Mr. l.antz in explanation
of bis resolution, says that it is a
matter of common report that institu
tions in this State receiving money
for their support, the officers never
give an account of their expenditure*
I or for what purposes it is disbursed.
That he has grown ashamed of voting
away public money without knowing
what is done with it, and proposes
looking deeper into the matter in the
future. That is the general sentiment
prevailing in the State, and the Kep*
resent at ives can no longer safely allow
these things to go on in the slip-shod
style which has prevailed for many
years. Hundreds of thousands of
dollars have been voter! away year
after year, and placer! in the hand* of
individuals to he applied to charitable
ami benevolent purposes, without hav
ing received any account of the man
ner the charities of the State have
been disposed of. It is time that a
new departure is caller! for, and we
congratulate Mr. I<entz thai it has
fallen to hi* lot to be the pioneer in a
demand for reform so entirely proper
in itself.
1,11 IT. < <IMMXNDF.R (FORRINGE,
of the Navy, ha* resigned. A slight
unpleasantne-* with Secretary ('hand
ler induced the resignation. The
lieutenant who lite* seen much active
service in hi* profession nod stand*
deservedly high, ha* l> • n on furlough
for some time, ami a* is customary
with officers under furlough, was about
to engage in business. The business
chosen excited the Secretary's sus
picion* of impropriety, if not rivalry,
lie had rented the ship-yard* of the
Heading railroad and under patronage
of New York capitalist.-, was alKuit to
embark in the business of ship-build
ing, which of course would be a rival
of the notorious lobbyist and suhsidarv
seeker, Mr. John Rrnch, with whom it
is Ixlieved the Secretary ha* very
intimate private relations. Taking it
as a matter of course that American
capitalist* would not venture on such
an enterprise with a naval officer, the
Secretary intimates a suspicion that
the Lieutenant is hacked by British
gold. This imputation is indignantly
. denied in a letter to the Secretary,
( who orders him to report immediately
!• the Department for orders. The
! Lieutenant obeys the order, and on
hi* arrival at Washington tendered
his resignation to the President.
IT i* said that Mr. William Mahonc,
who is received at the National Capi

The Work of tho UOUHO,
Mr. IltiHson, Chairman of tli' House
Committee on Appropriations, remark
•>il in the llone the other day, in an
swer to I.Mti'lis, of Lancaster, llmt it
was the purpose of the liernoeruts to
Prolong the session for just us many
days as should he found net . -sary to get
through with all the important work in
hand. In so slating he gave fa r inter
pretation to the will of (he mitj irity
in that body. They will get through in
the one hundred days if possible; hut
they will not go home at the expiration
of the one hundred and f.fty d*vs lo
calise the pay then stops, if the interests
of tlie* people serin to demaud a longer
stay. The present indications are that
the session will not end in one hundred
days, ultl.O igh it is yet too soon to de
termine i erlairdy as to that matter.
l'he business, is much further advanced
than at the same stage of any previous
session since tho adopti n of the new
constitution. <n February )7th. at the
1 s*| session of the House, there ha 1
been 2HJ hills reported from committees,

Governor. A comparison of these fig
ures not only refute- the allegations of
the Republican press that the House
ha* been unusually dilatory, but show*
that it is exceptionally industrious in-1
h AS accomplished sufficient to give it*
members title to pride in the record
they have made. Wo see it stated in
sundry exchange- of the Malt* irt j er
suasion, of course—that with all the
boasted increase of time devoted to the

is doing but little Li tter than its | rod.

and is doing may be lodged from those
figures The House of SI sat 'J hours

four less n number than the I*Sl ' no.
ami has not yet hid to expend - dollsr
for extra services, which latter fact is
without precedent, the saving, in - s'.a
Ties alone, from this source is Sjl b*i.
The number of employes serving the
201 member* of the House is les than
the number serving the V) Senators,
and there are no " lightning calcula
tors " among them either.
P.etween this and the day of adjourn
ment the House may |>o*sihlv do or
leave undone something to entitle it to
eentttre, but thus far it has merited
nothing but praise, having by it econ
omy and industry folfi'led every prom
ise made by the party to which its ma
jority tielongs and exceeded the most
sanguine expectations of its friends.
This session may strptch to 150 days,
and perhaps more, but, unlike those of
the session of I*Sl, they will be days of
hard work and will tie made to redound
to the advantage and profit of the JKKV
ple.-F '•now Isa<i<-T.
THE House of Representative* hjr
almost an unanimous vote <leeline<l to
concur in a resolution of the Senate
authorizing the librarian of the Sen-
Rte, the incorruptible Del any, to ex
pend a sum of money not exceeding
?.V>oo for supplies for the Senate and
House. The "supplies" does not mean
stationery, hut u brooms, spittoons,
soap, towels, hay rum, ami perhaps
harboring ami trinkets.
Cot.. THOMPSON, of the Washing
ton Pension (>ffiee, owns what he
thinks is the last willnnd testament of
(ieorge Washington. He snatched it
front the baud of a soldier who, with
others during the war, was pillaging
Fairfax Court House. Colonel Thomp
son has also in his possesion, obtained
at the satue time, the original inven
tory of the Mount Vernon estate, made
by Martha Washington. He expects
to preaeut these relic* to the Mount
Vernon Association.

era who are struggling to perpetuate the
i oppressive and odious Philadelphia re
rordci - hip. Whether or not the effort
of the governor and the attorney gen
' eral to oust Mr. Lane shall be attended
• by success, one thing is certain : the re
j eordership as it is now constituted and
'administered must go. The law a* it
stands is with the governor ami the
governor is with the law. Hut if through
some inscrutable tieviou-ness of judicial

If by any chanch the question of the
