declining to serve if elected, so really
he may be considered as not being a

Senator Mct'reery's speech in favor
of tho transfer of the Indian Bureau
to the War Department, was the great
event of the Week. Seiintor McCrcery
has not made inaKy spbcchpft in Con
gress, but he is known as" one of the
ablest debaters In either House, and
the announcement that he was to dis
cuss the Indian question brought out
the largest audience of the session.
The galleries were packed, and every
available space of the floor Irelow occu
pied by members of the liouse tihd
others, who enjoy the privileges of the
Senate Chamber. The speech itself
was a pointed and exhaustive presen
tation of. the transfer side of the con
troversy. One of the hardest hits in
the speech was its reference to the
Cloak of the Church so wickedly used
to cover outrages and rascalities. The
various agcritdes are supposed to be
asslghetl to, and in a measure under
the control of different denominations,
and the agents appointed are under
stood to represent the church to which
the particular agency belong!. Church
Influence is required to secure an ap
pointment, and the whole business is
managed iu the name of Christianity.
Yet what a burlesque and what a dis
grace it all is? .-
While there is so much talk about
Presidential candidates, and so much
doubt as to who is the "coming man,"
Lon both shies, it is Interesting to gather
up the various straws which indicate
how the wind blows. The stands In
the corridors of the Capitol where
pictures of prominent men are kept on
sale, are good places to gather straws.
The people Who buy these pictures are
not residents of Washington, but
visitors to the capital from all parts of
the country, so that the aggregate sales
are a tolerably fair indication of the
popularity of the different favorites-.
The keeper of one of 'these stands on
t lie Senate side recently said to a friend
of mine who inquired about the sales
of engravings of the prominent men
of to-day :
"I sell the most of Thurman, Conk
ling, Ben Butler, Jim Blaine and John
Sherman. You would be surprised,"
tie says, "to know how great a demand
there is for Butler's pictures. Of the
five I have just mentioned I think the
honors would be divided between
Thurman and Butler, next in order
would lie Blaine, then Conkling, and
then Sherman. I also have ti great
many orders for Chief Justice Wuite.
As for Hayes, I don't think I seU'ohe
of his to ten of Speaker Randall, and
yet I am on the Senate side. There
is but little demand for Garfield, but
some for Sam Cox and Fernando
Wood and Gen. Banks, but the princi
pal sales are con lined to those I have
just mentioned. Of those who arc
dead, the greatest demand is for An
drew Jacknou, Abraham Lincoln, and
Chief Justice Chase, though there is a
fair market, for Geo. Washington,
Thomas Jefferson, Daniel Webster,
Secretary Seward, Secretary Stanton-,
and Gem Thomas. You would lie
surprised to know, also, the number of
engravings 1 sell of Jell'. Davis and
Gen. Lee. The sales of these two are
not a-s extensive as those 1 have hereto
fore mentioned, but urc considerable.
Grant, for some reason, dont sell wel .
It. may be ht-cmse every one has a
likeness of him, but, I sell three of
Sherman to one of Grant; yes Gen.
Lee outsells Grant." From inquires
at otbtr stands. I learn that more
pietims are sold of Senator Thurmnii
than any other public man-. The large
sales of" Butler s phyMiogumy nvty beat-counted
for from the general curi
osity touching this most peculiar man,
and" the notoriety he enjoys from his
excentric public career.
Mr. Spofl'ard, the Librarian, has just
made an important addition to (lie
Congressional Library. It is a com
plete lile of journals published in Phil
adclphia from 1773 to 1ST", in all 107
volumes, and comprising the Clay
poole Advirincr, J'ou.vi'h Advr.rtir
and the Xorth American, all well
preserved and bound in calf. The
bound volumes of newspapers In the
Library of Congress now number over
0,0(10, and in this collection is a set of
the London Gazette from 1005 to 1870.
There is but one Other set in existence
that belonging to tlie British Govern
ment. The question of providing ad
ditional room for the immense, and
magnificent collection of books now
under Mr. Spoit'urd's charge, is still
agitating the Congressional mind, but
s'o far it is all talk. The building of
which so much has been said, is still
visible in the mind's eye only.
As the end of the scssson approaches
all the sharks and lobbyists, who have
little schemes in which they are inter
ested, huddle together and prepare for
a grand final rush. But the indica
tions now are that the large raids upon
the public Treasury will fail this
session of even a respectful hearing.
No time has yet been wasted upon any
of ihein, and there is little chance of
their getting a show now, though
there is usually great danger in the
final rush. Both Republicans and
Democrats, however, are very intent
upon various moves upon the political
chess board, and neither side feels that
it can afford to champion subsides of
any sort. The Democrats are organiz
ing for a united and determined effort
to repeal the test oath for jurors, ami
some obnoxious features of t he federal
election law. It looks as though the
appointment of Deputy Marshals and
Supervisors of Elections by the Federal
Government would have to lie dis
pensed with hereafter. There never
was any constitutional warrant for
these things. The Western Union
Telegraph Company is making desper
ate efforts to defeat the measure to
enable railroad companies to have
telegraph lines and transmit messages
for the public. If the measure passes
it will take a large amount of business
from this monopoly, which has bought
up every competing line hereto. ore es
tablished. Don PedkH.

month of January shows a reduction of
$2,751,980, and cash on hands J5382,

that resumption Is a settled matter,
and the nest question will be how to
dispose of the accumulating cash in
Jho treasury. It is further stated
that where the choice is giveil the.
public prefer greenbacks to coin in

known excellence that every person of
literary taste possesses or desires to
posses some edition of it This edition
is complete in eight handy volumes,

and agents, being ailowed to the sub
scriber instead. The publishers make
