Tins is tlie tVnteimial C-oujireps, and
the prompt neK with which the members
palhereil in V.'ashinloQ to lie in readi

some prrpvs in VM years. The first

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

Thmc'h the defalcation of Silcott many

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,

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.

are too well known to need reproduction,

. Jeflersoa Pavia was bus June 190?, in
that part of Christian county, Ky.. which
now forms Todd county. Soon after bis
birth his father removed to Mississippi, set
tling near Wixnlville. Wilkinson county.
He received an arodemical education and

ed by I'residrnt Monroea cadet in tbe Mili-
ir ,,lniv hi West Point, where bo
j
graduated iu 1S-S. He remained in the
army seven yers.
In lf he began his eventful political
career, and ui 144 was on of the Presiden
tial electors of Mississippi to vote for Polk
aud Dallas.' 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.
Every st-bool-boy is informed as to the part
Jefferson Davis took in tbe a cession and the

The handsome residence of Mr. J. I".
Fayne, in which Mr. Divis d el, is one of
the most comfortable and interiorly artistic
in all the ci;y. 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

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

bedstead, on which the leader of the Con

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

length of time. At the outset jellies, fruit
and all manner of delicacies w ere proffered

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. By this
very manifestation of a narrow ixtliiical
bigotry they enshrine his nobler, holier than
ever."

took up November JTth. It is Mr. Leedom'i

The fire was discovered by Thomas O'Bri

charge of arjon, and the grand jury will
make a thorough investigation of the mat
ter. O-rtrom was interviewed at the county
jail to day. In answer to the o,nestion :
'Are you willing to say anything abmt the
awful charge that you set the Tf 'JfMt build

"Yes. I did uot set tbe butldiag on fire.
This chirge ia no surprise to ms. I.i fact,
I expected it would be nu ld before. I cer
tainly Lad every incentive iu the world to
destroy those books. If they bad leu
burned up there would have been no evi
denca against me. It is perfectly natural
that suspx-ion would point to me when all
the facts are considered. As additional
proof against me, I left tbe books oat of the
safe on Saturday night, I bad often done
this before, and nothing was ever thought of
it. Some of the men in tbe otlice generally
locked them up before they left, as they did
on this occasion, but taken into considera
tion with my defalcation and the fire, tbe
logical conclusion of nine mea out of ten
would be thit I am respjusihle for the ori
gin of the fire.
"I tiii;:k I cm prove that t was not at the
Tfiliuitc building o:i Siturdiy. I left the
oilice le' ween 3 an 1 0 o'clock v. M and
went fo the t'liion Utilsviy statio-i, intend
ing to leave this part of the country. While
in the desit, wilting for the train. I thought
the nutter ovvf an 1 finally concluded it
would be bMter to stay here and face the
trouble. I went tip to llieSjmmit House to
get my wifd. Sue wasn't tbere, aud I then
went to the West Hotul and to several other
placet, go.img to my bouts ab i.it !) r. M.
A detective had b.n sha lowing Ostrom
for a week before the fire, and will be asked
by the'grand jury to state what be knows of
Ostrom's movements on that Saturday tiigli!.
