Young, of Rome, is the best .artist in north Georgia, While in that city a few days ago we had the pleasure of looking through his studio, in the Shorter block. His crayons are simply elegant, and re flect great credit on the artist. His pho tograph specimens are also very tine, being oue of the largest and finest we have ever seen. He takes great pleasure in showing visitors his specimens, which he is justly proud of. We suppose a great many of our readers will go to Rome on tlie 4rh, and we would advise ;dl those who need anything in his line to give him a call. JLlis prices are very iow. juutNiO 4c TRA YE LI X G COMMITTEES OF THE HOUSE AXD SEX A TE. If you will read the following, copied from the Chicago Inter-Ocean, you will see where the money gees, and who spends it. “Retrenchment and reform” are only heard on the stump, and these senators and representatives throw abroad the money of the people with so lavish a hand that the republicans even rebuke: “It has become the custom nowadays, when these “princes of the blood” desire a sumtnex tour, to request some committee to be appointed to go in the vicinity of the spot they desire to visit, and as soon as it is granted, off they go in a line Pullman car, iu which they travel, eat a.id sleep at government expense for a couple of months. Unless there is a great change in pres ent tactics, xve will have to w histle for a govern ment before many years. No free people will put up with so much pretension in their public servants and with so much expense, which the labor of this country is forced to pay.” A committee to inquire into tlie “de pression of labor” has been appointed and $2,000 appropriated to paj’ for tue trip. If you will inquire at the door of the senrte finance committee where Sen ator Bayard and Senator Gordon stran gled the silver bill and tlie trade dollar bill, you need go no farther; and the $2,000 might be left in the poor laborer’s pocket. Senator Gordon had just re turned from a junketing tour.to Saratoga, New York and West Point, for which the government paid him $5 a day ad ditional to his present salary and he. felt like the world was in a swing and he was swinging high. Away with re trenchment and reform. Twelve travel ling committees in the senate and the same in the house! God save us from ourselves! ABSENTEES FROM CONGRESS. We copy an article to-day from the Atlanta Dispatch that is to tlie point. There is barely a quorum left in Wash ington now. It is too hot a place for most of these lordly gentlemen, and they are gandering all over tlie land in pursuit of pleasure and fun,’ we suppose. Messrs. Blount and Gordon quit Wash ington some time ago, and are taking their ease at home. We suppose they desire to impress tlie legislature with some of their ideas, and are at home to look after political management for neither of them are ill, nor h ive they sickness in their families. We would like to ask them if they are tired of stav ing their constituenees; if so, there will he no difficulty in finding men who tie not so fatigued. We know men who have a much better excuse than cither can offer, who have never deserted their posts. We are little disgusted with such indifference to the public welfare. In looking over the Congressional Re cord we find more than one-third of tlie congressmen absent from the house, and as great a portion in the senate. Those xv tj< are al>snt Uy reason of person al ill ness, or illness in their families, are cer tainly excusable. The rest are nat. When a man’s private business becomes so imperative that he must neglect his duties at Washington to attend to it, lie should resign and allow other men not so busy, to take his plaee. This may sound hard, but it is just. Other members who are more conscientious, or who have less private business, stay at their posts, and there should be some regulation to pre vent absenteeism, tiiat these faithful members may keep a working quorum to transact the business of the country. Last Friday the speaker was asked it so many leaves of absence were granted, would there be a quorum left. He re plied, “he could not say definitely.” 'I be scene between Lamar and Conk ling would not have occurred if the dem ocrats had had a quorum to pass the bill which caused the prolonged night ses sion. There were but thirty-six democratic senators in the city—it took thirty-nine to make the vote a success for the party. Asa result from so much continued wrangling, we had that disgraceful epi sode and a volley of harsh, bitter words to further inflame the sectional strife already blazing high. Even’Mr. Bayard was provoked into an undignified har angue with Blaine—became forgetful of she high-born courtesy with which he is credited. If this absenteeism is not checked, it will grow out of all proportions and be come insupportable. Some members are in Europe—some are at watering places— some are pleading law cases —some are making commencement speeches and the vice president himself is enjoying rural life in northern New York. We keep an eye on those who wander and preiegri nate, and we also notice those who re main at their posts of duty. We do con fess, and we are ashamed to say, some southern members are decidedly more ornamental than useful; an I their name , are recorded ab>ent twice to where tlie\ vote once in the Record. We advise tlie speaker and president pro. term, to send out a peremptory order for their recall, and then proceed to business. Outsider. A Sjxlemliil Organ to Baffle. We have been advertising for several weeks a splendid White & Wilcox organ to raffle, the price of which is $200.00. We propose to ratfle it at $2.00 a chance with only sixty chances, putting the price of the organ down thereby at $120.- 00. It is a splendid instrument and can be seen at the postoffice. That it is what it is represented to be, we copy the fol lowing extracts: From Prof. R. M. Mclntosh, profes sor of music at Emory college: “Send us White and Wilcox organ, style 100, for our commencement. I think that the best of all reed organs for family. Never saw the equal to it, etc.” From Prof. Schoeller, Dalton female college: “It is the best I ever tried.” From Prof G. 0. Looney, Jonesboro: “All seemed well pleased iu selecting the White & Wilcox organ in preference to , and I think we were very for tunate in forming an acquaintanceship w ith the White ■& Wilcox organ before purchasing elsewhere.” If any one desires a good organ at all they can have a chance to try their luck with two dollars by applying at the book store of VV. H. Wikle & ('o. The in strument is guaranteed to be all what is claimed for it. Gall atWikle’s and ’• ke a chance before it is too late. G*Jy a few ieiu i AROUND THE TOWN.

To The Free, Press :—Allow me to say ; that it was given out, not published, that Col. J. I. Wright, of Rome, would deliv- Ie -a lecture on Free Masonry at the Meth -1 o list church in Cassville on the night of j the 4th inst. At the appointed hour, Col. Wright • put in his appearance, and was met by a very good audience, for a small place like Cassville and vicinity and w ithout any j extensive notice having been given. At the proper time, Col. Wright intro duced himself by saying he was not here for any love or desire for speech-making, ; or to make any effort at oratory or elo quence; but had come here from his ; home, wearied and tired, with the hope and desire of delivering some practical truth for the good ot society generally, and especially for the benefit of the or der of Free Masons. In this hope I feel assured Col. Wright has not been disap pointed, for it has not sehlein, it ever, | fallen to the good luck of the w riter to have listened to a lecture, or an address upon any subject, that was so replete with good sense, and sound practical truths, and l am glad to say that Col. Wright was attentively lPtene l to throughout, and his lecture was well re ceived, by an attentive, and an apprecia tive audience, and 1 have many reasons to believe licit much good was done here, and especially tor the ancient order. Without any attempt or design of try ing to quote or tell the many good things Col. Wright said, (for it would he impos sible if! had such a purpose, and they can never be fully known, only by those w hose good luck it was to hear them,) I will presume, however, that Col. Wright set forth in a strong and clear manner the three great and fundamental tenets of the order of Free Masons, “Brotherly Love, Relief and Truth,” and then with great force and earnestness h * laid down the bur cardinal virtues of the order, “Fort tilde, Prudence, Temperance an 1 Jus tice,” an I eloquently explained and urg 'd upon Ihe audience, and to the brothers * resent, the keeping and practicing t h • -e rent viriueiu I heir daily walks. He ten happily pointed to the bible as being he chart and guide of all good m asons id of all good men of every name and order. Suffice it ro say that the lecture was admitted by all wh > heard it to be a -.rand and good thing, and 1 believe if ’ol Wright could be induced to deliver this lecture in every community in the a>uuty, nay more, in the state, much good would be done by it; so mote it be.
