How the Centennial Appropriations
was Car EOT — A Peculiar Sort of
‘•Speeches”— The Postage ox Tran
sient Newspapers Reduced —What is
Comixg—Story of John Randolph.
After ft discussion more protracted and ex
haustive than profitable or entertaining a vote
on the Centennial appropriation was finally
reached in the House on Tuesday, and it passed.
The snrnll majority of sixteen votes in its favor
was good deal less titan its friends thought pos
sible two weeks previous, but not less than
close observers estimated near the close of the
debate. In fact, for three or lour days previous
to the vole there wa- a strong probability or its
defeat, and it is without doubt true that the
eloquent speeches of Mr. Lamar, and Mr. Jones,
of Kentucky, at the last moment, saved the bill
from that fate. At one time it appeared that
the Democrats would be nearly rolid against it,
and it was only through the efforts and argu
ments of such men as Lamar that a division
was made in their ranks. The Democratic
members, especially those from the South, were
peculiarly situated with reference to this ques
tion. Jt did not look consisont for the majority
side of the House, which had ieaagnrated such
radical and sweeping measures of retrenchment,
extending even to clerks in the Departments, to
.join ia voting a million and a half of dollars to
a private corporation which was really able to
take care of itself. Those who had looked into
the matter were satisfied that'this appropriation
was partially a gratuity to an association of in
dividuals who expected to make a good deal of
capital and moneyf cut of the enterprise. It
was for these reasons, and the belief that Con
gress had no constitutional authority to appro
priate money for such a purpose, that 106 Dem
ocrats voted in the negative. But the issue of
patriotism liad been raised, and people all over
the country really believed that national pride
and national honor was involved. The Repub
lican side of the House almost solidly support
ing the hill ostensibly on these grounds, and
many southern Democrats, anxious to give
some tangible manifestation of their patriotism,
and to take another step in the direction ®f re
concilitions of a large majority of their political
associates. Its success, therefore, may be cor
rectly termed a triumph of sentimental patriot
ism. The Pennsylvania delegation voted no, and
no doubt Mr. Randall, himself, who was its ar
dent advocate, would have opposed the measure
but for the overwhelm ng local pres-ure. he
amendment secured by Mr. Springer providing
that if any pro|ij,j> tu-cyne from the exhibition
the amount of the appropriation .should be re
■uufnecl to the Government before doctoring a
tfMclend to the stockholders ja a good thing,
and it only remains to be seen what methods*
the managers will employ to evade this provis
ion. From pre?ent indications there can be no
doubt that the profits will be enormous. Since
the passage of the bill a technical error lias
ILten discovered which may necese late an
jgpmci'duKmt in the ftepato, end' a return to the
Boujtfklor conctlrreiict!. If this transpires 1
VvuPRS 6 foe prediction ihai a second trial results
in the defeat. The powerful lobby headed by
ex-Governor Bigler, of Pennsylvania, and ex .
Governor Joe Hawley, of Connecticut, has now
turned its attention io the rie.iate. Their work
in the House was well done, for without their
efforts the appropriation would riot have stood
a ghost of a chance, or had there been one-hall
the work in opposition to them, all their press
ure and the $20,000 spree would have gone tor
naught.
Some foity speeches were made during the
discussion, and sevetal more not made were
printed, by leave, in the Iticord. Of all the
nauseating literature ever set be ore an inno
cent reader, the copies of the Congressional
dnny, containing half a dozen or so each ot this
latter class ot “speeches,” are the in .st disgust
ing. Now and then an asj n-ing noodle with
more brass than brains will get into Congress.
Of cou.se, such fellows could no more make
a I'speeeh than a hog could climb a tree, but
they take advantage of the discussions to get
leave to “heave in a few remarks,” or, in other
words, have something printed in Hie Record
which they can palm off upon their unsuspect
ing constituents as a speech. Occasionally one
of them will display uncommon shrewdness by
employing some obscure journalist to write him
an eloqent appeal, but the majority ars satisfied
with anything so it is in print with their name
attached, and they insert under the guise of a
“speech” a few paragraphs ot senseless twaddle.
But such is fame.
The much needed change in the law relating
to newspaper postage is now nearly accom
plished. The House lias already passed the bill
restoring the old rates on thiru-eia.-s matter,
and it will undoubtedly promptly pass the Sen
ate. It repeals a portion of the act of last year,
and provides that postage at the rate of one
cent tor two ounces shall be charged on news
papers, and tin t packages not exceeding foot
pounds in weight maybe sent through the mails
:it the same rate. The law in effect for a 3-ea.
past was an outrage. Here are two facts illus
trating its beauties: The postage on the quadru
ple sheet of the New York Herald is eight cents
The original cost of this sheet in New York is
four cents, or just one-half the transient rate ot
postage. The express charges on ten numbers
of the National Quarterly Review from Ntw
York to Washington is forty cents. The United
States postage is fifteen cents pet number, or
$1 50 fjr ten numbers; that is, sl.lO more than
the express companies charge. A clear case of
tax on knowledge amounting to prohibition
The act passed for the benefit ot the express
companies. Mr. Garfield stated on the floor of
the House that the legislation on this subject in
the last Cpngtess originated in the Post Office
Department, in a letter from the Postmaster
General to Senator Ramsey, recommending an
increase of the postage on merchandise, and the
amendment was supposed to embody that idea.
Supposing and understanding that it only cov
ered merchandise, it was passed; but i was
subsequently discovered that it covered news
papers and transient, matter. Mr Garfield
might have added that if this was all a mistake
it was a little strange that the express compa
nies lobbied for the increased rate. Postmaster
General Jewell is opposed to the present reduc
tion ou the ground that t: e department was not
self-sustaining. While on this subject, it may
be stated that this department opens up one of
the best possible fields for investigation. Recent
discoveries of contract frauds have been made
in which several clerks in the department arc
implicated, and the existence of false seals, etc.,
i3 proven. Nobody accuses lir, Jewell of nr g
ularities, but lie has not the nerve to ptobo the
abuses known to exist.
In my next letter I can give a pretty definite
review of the succo-s and extent o. the retreuen
ment labors of the’Oonmiittee on Appropriations,
together with some idea of the developments
a rising from investigations now in progress.
The Committee on Rxpe ditures of the various
Departments have heretofore been purely orna
mental It would be dificult to show that one
ftf them ever did anything in past years; but
Hie promise to be heard from tins time quite un-
SThcre is already a fiat ering in a
good mmy quarti rs. The Department of 3ta e
is reported to be in a cave of gloom, and the
Department of justice is on the ragged edg e
It is significant of the rumors of rottenness that
have always circulated regarding the Bureau of
Justice, that the Committee on Expenditures
therein found the investigation too great to be
t oroughp, accomplished without re-ecfoice*
nients, and therefore irked that their number*
might be increased, which was done.
At the reception given the Indiana editors
hero last „eek Senator McDonald created a
laugh by introducing ex-Senator Pratt as his
predecessor whose seat he had “neverjattenipted
to fid.” The point to .this is Mr. Pratt’s remark
able size, it having been necessary to order a
chair expressly tor him when he took his place
in the Senate. This reminds me of a good story
of John Randolph’s satire. It has no applica
tion to Messrs McDonald and Pratt personally,
but will bear relating, even if your readers have
heard it before.
When Mr. Randolph was in the United Slate
Senate, Mr. Macon, the celebrated Senator front
North Carolina, died, after whom so many
counties artd towns have been named. Mr.
Macon was the most, trusted and intimate friend
of Mr. Randolph, and they usually voted ad
acted together. When Mr. Macon’s successor
took his seat in the Senate he tried hard to cul
tivate the acquaintance of Mr. Randolph, but
from some cause the ecceiuric gentleman from
Virginia did not relish the advances of the new
Senator and kept aloof. Nettled al Mr. Ran
dolph’s coldness, he was one day tempted, diet
ing debate, inlo a bitter personal attack upon
Mr. Randolph. Haudclpu, who usually was
prompt and ready to resent all attacks, to the
astoni-hnent of his friends, remained quiet
and silent under the attack until long atter ;
but or.e day he had occasion to quote from Mr.
Macon, and he said : ‘-These were the words
and opinions of that great man, Mr. Macon,' 7
and j ointing with his long, skeleton fingr
directly into the face of Mr. Macon’s successor,
he added, with a look of inimitable sarcasm,
“whose seat, I am sorry to say, is now vac mt —
vacant—vacant.” It was enough ; the Senators
saw the point, Randolph was avenged, and
Macon’s successor was nobody.
CROOKED WHISKEY,
McKee’s conviction has increased the
apprehensions of Babcock s friends.
The refusal of new trials at Indiana
polis lias caused dismay ir. Avery’s

Replying to prisoners who plead
wounds in extenuation and for modi
fication of sentence, and for faithful
service in the army, etc, Judge
Gresham admitted the unpleasantness
of the duty, but could not allow sym
pathy to make him forget crime. They
had committed, he knew, a decided
contract between the officers of the
Government and the distillers. The
former are trusted servants in the pay
of the United States, while the latter
are not trusted but watched by Gov
ernment officials. Therefore, the for
mer ought to have increased punish
mon t. He then announced that
those officers who had betrayed
their tiust "should have two years
in either of the peitcutLiuon they
might prefer and * pay a fine of
81,000 each- Then followed the case of
Jus.lL Hill. Deputy Revenue. Collec
tor. liijl protested his -innocence’ be
fore God and the, world. TANARUS; e Judge,
in sentencing him three years in the
penitentiary and SI,OOO remarked,
that his ( lime was of deeper dye be
cause of his high position in the Gov
ernment service. In passing the sen
ter.ee of those who had been laborers
about a distillery, the Judge remarked
the difference between their crime and
that of Government officers, and gave
them three months in the Gibson
county jail and SSOO fine, with the ex
ception af Thomass J..Bobb, distiller,
who he gave one y ear in jail.

Our Cemetery.
The Town Council has determined on
having our large and beautiful burying
ground laid off - in lots with streets and
walks—a portion of the lots to be’ftee,
some for white and some for colored
people, the remaining lots to be sold,
“and the proceeds applied to improve
ment of the grounds. One of oldest cit
izens has been talking about the plum
for years, and is very pleased' with
tile idea, as he sayfrhelnwaye was par

Wild Turkey.
Last week a young man in this place
hearing the gobble of a wild turkey (?)
inside the incorporation, was overjoyed
by the sound. He ran to the spot im
mediately and shot the turkey, and
gave it to a friend who made a turkey
dinner the next day. All who were so
fortunate as to be on hand pronounced
the meat excellent.
The Hartwellites began to rub up
their fire arms as they knew not at what
time there might be an attack made on
the place by wild turkeys. All was
“nipped in the bud,” however, by Mr.
Bobo’s announcing that it was his be
lief that the turkey killed had just es
caped his coop at the hotel.
Grave Subject,
Dr. W. A. Skelton has a patent for
tombstones and put up a handsome one
as a sample in Benson & Co’s, cotton
yard. There is a man seeking employ
ment about town who looks like there
never was a drop of red blood in him
who laid down on the piazza that opens
in the cotton yard, and went to sleep.
Our genial tax assessor was standing by
him leaning on his crutch looking very
serious and sorrowful, called to old Ben
son, and said, “Here is a corpse on the
piazza.” Old B. said he was glad to
hear it, as he had been looking for one
for some time to plant behind Bill Skel
ton’s tombstone; told the boys to hoist
him, and they had just laid hold of him
when a mischievous boy stuck a pin in
him and he opened his eyes and scratch
ed his head, and said he bleeved he had
been asleep, and so escaped a premature
burial.

Richmond (Ya.) Guide: January 17
was the nineteenth anniversary of the
falling of the deepest snow ever known
in this section. The depth was four
or five feet on a dead level. The same
night a number of brick houses on
Franklin, between 17th and 18th streets,
were set on fire and burned. Locomo
tion for man, beast or railroad car was
nearly entirely suspended hereabouts.
Several persons were frozen to death in
this city, and some severly frost bitten.
The same thing happened in many
instances in the surrounding country.
Much suffering was entailed on the
poor and others here and elsewhere.
Huge banks of snow remained piled up
in the streets of Richmond for several
months.
