The first Conpress w:i called to me:'t in New York March 4, 171, and on that day only twenty-one members of both llouws were on hand to bepin work. The House did not have a quorum until April 1, nor the Senate until April fi. It is extremely for'nniite Itiat tlie con flagration in that historic old hostlery, the Mononzaht-'a llouw, at rittsluirph, Thursday, was unattended by the Ions of lite, which ao frequently accompanies a dectructive tire in a preat hotel filled w ith jH-ople. If the Mmionpahcla House had taken tire at midnipht instead of at noon the chances, are that many lives would have leen Bacri!i ;ed. A it was,-all the puests, although many of them lost their jicrmmal c-tr.i'ts, e-od safelv. The lou btuouthed talkers and gra:n blerswho imapined that they had rtic-o-eded in scaritip the President from the Ilcpublicun jNjlicy of rememberinp the claims of the old Union army, did not know the man they had to deal with. The pledprts made fnm ISfll-lsUTi wre Hac:ed pkilijcs that no patriotic man can afford to forpct. They will not now be ignored by the Ii-publioaa party. The pour-houe is not the place fjr the men who risked everything to preserve the Vnion. Tiie cour.try owes its present :reidness aud richness to their valor. Hut f r their services there would be no United States w ith iU "great surjilus in the Treasury." Asotiikr rascal has turned himself out. Charles K.

To nipht" there are just 3Jt Cor-.presimicti in town who have not received theirpay, whil Cashier Silcott is enjoying his plunder with a woman named riirtlett, who disappeared wilh him. A penr.i'.eNi wife and three chil dren bear Ui brant nf tbe disiKi.iest man's crimes at their buuibl liHle home on Caji tol Hill. It was know n that eotuetUing un usual was in the air before the H ju- con vened this morning and there were vague rumors that Silcott was a wrong-doer. These little whisper rapidly grew in the corridors and when the House was ciiled to order ev erybody was in a state of nervous expecta tion to know the truth of the matter. When Speaker Heed arose there wa a si lence, as each member held his brea'h await ing Mr. Iteed's words. Glancing at a piece o. pap.T wtnen ne neiu m "" Speaker read the following communication from the Sergeant-at -arms Lcedoin : I rwrret to report that C. E. Silcott, late cashier of the.otlice of S-jrpeatit-t- Arms, has departed from this city without settling Jii accounts; and I have been unable to ascer tain his whereabouts and there is a deficien cy in the cash of the office. In view of these circumstances I respectfully request an im mediate investigation of my accounts under such action as tbe House of Represelatives may take in the premises." There was an insUnt's confusion, and then Representative Ailams. of Illinois, was on his feet with a resolution authorizing the appointment of a committee oi "ven io ui vestigaie the accoants of the Sergeant-at- Arms. This was adopted, and then Mr. Mc Kinli.v moved an adiournment until Mon day, and iu a few moments tbe big room was deserted by the members who flocked into the orridor t" discuss the situation, while others hurried around to the Sergcant-at-Arnis' oilice to ascertain some more particu lars. Silcott was appointed by Mr. Leedom six years ago. and until last night he bad every confidence in him. Silcott comes from Ohio, and is a Democrat. The absconder has had every facility for getting bold of the mem bers' money. Kor a number of years it has been the custom for the Sergeant at-Arms to send into the members a printed slip, on which the Congressmen acknowledged the n-ceipt of their money. This slip was then given to the cashier, who took it to the Treasury Department, secured the money and then returned the cash or deposited irin the safe, as the members wished. This saved the members a trip to the Trersury Depart ment and a wait in line. In addition to their salaries a number of Congressmen had private a.'ciiunts at tbe Sergeunt-at-Arms' ome and these are the heaviest losers. Some of the wealthier mem bers have not drawn their salaries for eight or nine months, allowing it to accumulate and using il as the occasion demanded. In this way, Rife, of Pennsylvania, lost $2,301) and J. D. Taylor lost $.S,0oo. Other losers and their amounts are : Catchings, of Mississippi, $2,4iKt; Boulelle, of Maine, $1, (Xi; Dingham, of Pennsylvania, $-.000 ; McC'ormick, of Pennsylvania, $7'K) ; Osborne, $41(5; Riley, of Pennsylvania, 11(5; Atkin son, of Pennsylvania, tl.SOO; Harmer, of Pennsylvania, $410 : Judge Kelley, of Penn sylvania, $f l; MeKinley, of Ohio, $3W); Mutchler, of Pemu-ylvaiiia, $41G; Owens, of Indiana, f t.oOO ; Bntterworth, of Ohio, $:A ; Adams, of Illinois, $!); O'Neill, of Penn sylvania, $110: Raudail, of Pennsylvania, $410; Darlington, of Pennsylvania, $l,W0; S-ull, of Pennsylvania, $110; Dalz-ll, of Pennsylvania. $41i; and Payne, of Penn sylvania, $1,000. PRESS COMMENTS. Tolelo ISliule : An impression has been spread in the West that Mr. Reed is not sound upon the tarill. Nothing could be more erroneous, as bis speech against the Mills bill fully attests. He is in perfect ac cord with the Republican principle of pro tection. Philadelphia AVW: A brave nation of 00.tsXi.niNi people, mindful of the rights of others and iealous of its own, needs no elaborate system of coast defenses to meet tbe more or less remote contingency of for eign war. Actual war would be leas destruct ive and calamitous than would be the ierpet- ual drain upon the country'a resources in making preparations for an event that is uot likely to occur in tuis generation. New York Pmm : The London pars, so far as they have commented on President Harrison's Aiessage give it no indorsement beyond tWe ex:rad;tton proposal. This is uot urieijiected. It is a thoroughly Ameri can liciunieiiL It was not written forOrcat Rritxin, but for the Vnited iiiatrs. It is satisfactory here, and il was not exjiocted to be satisfactory to the "Thunderer" or other organs of English opinion, nor ye' to Eng lish statesmen. St. Louis VitAte Vriaorral : The message as a whole is a clear, strong, and honest docu ment. On controverted )inis it i generally in line with the proclamation of principles laid down in the Republican National plat form, and will inurt with the favor of the majority of the members of the party. Even those who do not agree with it on partisan questions will oncede that the utterance is able, vigorous, and candid, and etuiueutly worthy of the exalted olliue from w hich it emanates. New York ': Governor Foraker is certainly entitied to be presumed innocent of the charge of guilty knowledge! of the Campbell forgery uulil the contrary can be proved, if ever. That the ontrary ever will be proved may well be doubtsl, siucc the Governor, in a card to the public, explicity denies any know ledge of the forgery previous to Mr. Halstead's retraction, and shows that he was grossly imposed upon by Wood. Nobody whoever saw Joseph B. Korak-r's o;en, manly face believes that he is guilty of anything like complicity in a forgery. Such a thing is wholly un-Furakerlike. New York Had and tUjiram Jelfi-rson Davis is dead: Tbe rebellion which be led still live in a large portion of the country where be has been worshiped as the chief champion of the false doctrines that justified secession as a "State right." The form which the present retie'.hou takes it clearly de scribed by President Harrison and A ttorney General Miller in their reference to the sup presiou or intimidation of the suffrage. A Republican Congress will legislate fearlessly and efficiently for the maintenance of the Constitutional guarantees that were the price paid by tbe people of those States here armed rebellion had raged for univer sal amnesty. And the President will en-fon-e this legislation with rigor and vigor aud fearlessness. Fusilade In a Court Room. Marmhi d.

The following year he was elected a Representative in Congress, and took an active part in the discussion of im portant questions. While he was in Congress the First Regiment of Mississippi volunteers then enrolled tor service in Mexico, elected bim their Colonel. Overtaking tbe regiment at New Orleans, on its way to the seat of war, be remained wilh it until tbe expira tion of tlie term of its enlistment. He dis tinguished biniself in tbe battle ofBueua Vista, February Zl, 147, where he received a severe wound, but remained in tiie saddle until the close of the action. This wound caused him considerable trouble throughout the remainder of his lifj, and indirectly hastened his death. - In tlieTiiirty-s'xth Congress, which met iu 1XKI, h was the recognized leader of the Iemocrats in tbe Senate. His name for years had been frequently mentioned as a candidate of the Democratic party for the Presidency. At the convention for the nomination of President in lS'M lie received many votes, although his friend announced that be did not desire tlie nomination.

It is of biown stone stucco, two stories high, with broad verandahs, and set in lovely grounds, where camelia bushes are spiked with bloom and oranges bang in clusters on the trees. The house has a wide hall running through the center, with draw ing rooms on one side, a library on theother and on the rear corner of the house, in a lovely and cheery apartment into which tbe sun streams all day, lay the pntient aud dis tinguished invalid. It is a wond-jrful pretty room with a rich toned Persian hued carpel on the floor, shades and lace curtains on the windows, two fronting to theeailand tv.-o to the south. Pictures are on the walls, and there are a lounge, easy TurKish chairs and pretty carv ed tables, and a huge carved oak Victoria bedstead, on which the leader of the Con federacy lies in the emhrane of death. Hi constant attendant was Mrs. Duvis, who had never left his bedside since bis illness began. In a comfortable borne wrapper of gray and black this gentle niinistranl was always at the invalid a side, and if she left him for a moment he asked for her and was fretted or uneasy until she returned. Friends con stantly sent beautiful flowers, of which Mr. I)avis a as very fond, but these were not al lowed to remain in the sick room for any length of time. At the outset jellies, fruit and all manner of delicacies w ere proffered until Mr. Iavis was compelled to decline them. The sick man's I'kmI was only milk, ice, beef tea, and rarely a broiled chop.

Referring to the fact that the War IVpart nient lljg wjs not half masted in honor of Jeff Davis, Roger O,. Mill said : "We can't exiect fair treatment tr im this Administra tion. The mistake in not half-masting the flag lies in the fact that Davis d;d not iucile the Rebellion. He was oposed to it, but when his Plate disagreed with him he was confronted with two courses of procedure to abide by tbe General Government or go with bis State and people. He reluctantly chose the latter course. But this Adminis tration cannot heap any odium upon Davis' memory iu themindi of the Southerners and all high-minded Northerners.
