few days after we left New York, and

buried, so he would not name tho

EDITOTS IN CONGRESS,
MEMBERS OF THAT BODY WHO
HAVE SHOVED THE ‘’QUILL.”
And Who Now Occupy Seats in the
House---A Brief History of
Them.
Washington, Jan. 12.—| specialj—
There itre, perhaps, more newspaper
men as members of this Congress
than were ever before members of
the same national legislative body.
In speaking of this class it is under
stood to mean that they are persons
who have spent tho major part of
their lives in the newspaper profes
sioD, as editors and writers. There
are some, of course, who are stock
holders in pnpem, but were never
accused of contributing anything to
the columns of their paperss, unless
it was to “boost” themselves up in
the political firmauent. This class
of gentlemen have been engaged in
editing their “highly moral,'- if not
widely circulated, journals, more
from the counting room than up
stairs in the dingy editorial sanct
uarv,
AMOS J. CUMMINGS.
The best type of thorough news
paper writers who have appeared in
Congress for a great many years is
found in Amos J. Cummings, late of
the New York Sun, and Truman A.
Merriman, a local political reporter
on the same paper. There is no
position on a great newspaper, from
that of setting type to defending
libel suits, which Cammings has not
filled. He has set type iu every
State in the UnioD, and after, leaving
the “case 11 he became one of Horace
Greelys best and most trusted lieu
tenants. From the Tribune he went
to the Sun where he has presided
for years as the managing editor of
that great papei. When the Even
ing Sun was started last May, Mr.
Cummings was made its editor in
chief and practical manager, and to
day it is the most widely circulated
evening newspaper printed iu tho
English language, Mr. Cummings
said a few days ago that he rather
eDjoved the life of a Congressman
because it gave him rest and relieved
him from a thousand anxieties and
burdens which came to bim daily in
the editorial management of a news
paper.
BIT OUTER MERRIMAN.
Mr, Merriman, at the itme of his
nomination as a candidate for Repre
sentative in the Forty-ninth Con
gress, was a reporter ou the Sun,
and had been assigned by the city
editor to report the proceedings of
the convention that selected tim as
the candidate. There was a division
of opinion as to who should be placed
as the candidate, which bor* evidence
of breeding discord, when the name
of Mr. Merriman was suggested as
an acce[ftable compromise candidate.
It was no sooner presented to the
convention than he was unanimously
nominated, and was elected by a
majority of over twenty thousand
votes. He made a good Represent
ative, and was returned to this Con
gress without opposition. On the
night of Lis first nomination he re
turned to the Sou office and wrote
up the proceedings of the conven
tion just the same as if another per
son had been made the standard
bearer, and all during the campaign
he retained his modest position on
the paper, und wrote a number of
pleasant i , things . 1 ,- about , ,»•„», his opponent. f
referring . . ins .
but very rarely ever to
own candidacy.
MR. MMSE PHELAN, OF MEMPHIS,
is another full-fledged newspaper
writer, though he has always been an
editor since his advent into journal
ism, but has never had that training
io the businees as has his New York
colleague. He was never a reporter,
but has missed the early trials and ro
inances of the day and night bustlers
in the search of “scoops 1 - tl at send
c msternation to the offices of the
hated contemporary. Mr. Phelan,
however, is a vigorous writer, and as
editor of the Memphis Avalanche
wielded considerable influence in pol
itical circles of the State, Mr. Phe
l&A, it would appear, is not properly
impressed with the dignity and high
tilling of an editor, as he failed iu
cqntributing a history of himself to

sition. He appears in the directory
as a lawyer only.

VIRGINIA JOURNALISTS.
The youthful and scholarly Jacob
Yost, of Virginia, is one of the bright
shining lights of journalism of the
Old Dominion. He began life as a
printer, and for the past five years
sat on the editorial tripod of tho
Staunton Virginia.
Senator Riddleberger, of the same
State, is also a member of the fourth
estate, having guided tho editorial
pen of the Shenandoah Democrat.
EDWARD SCULL, OF PENNSYLVANIA^

five years.

Pittsburgh, is another who is a jour
nalistof some prominence in the Key
stone State. He is the political and
financial head of the Pittsburgh
Press. He is also the Treasurer of
the Press News Association of the
United States, a rival of the Associat
ed Press.
CALIFORNIA PENCIL SHOVERH.
Thomas L. Thompson, of Califor
nia, has been engaged in journalism
since I860. He is the editor of the
Sonoma Democrat, and has for years
wilded great political influence in
his section of the Golden State.
Senator Ilearst, of the same State,
is the proprietor of the San Francis
