Some time since Congressman
Dorsey cast a vote that has been, the,
subject of considerable comment in
some of the newspapers and other
wise.
There is too much readiness to
believe charges against public officials,
and why it is that men of common
sense and honesty who would not
believe a charge of mean conduct
gainst a good neighbor, will believe
such a thing readily against the same
neighbor in the discharge of a public
duty, is hard to tell, but the fact re
mains, while the truth is that honeaty
is the role and dishonesty the ex
ception ; fealty to his fellow-citizens
who supported him for office and
whose interests a9 well as those of
his political opponents are alike
temporarily in his keeping, is the
guiding motive of the office-holder ;
he desires, more than anything else,
to "make a good record," to stand
well with his constituents, to be
known and recognized by his fellow
citizens, as worthy of the trust con
fided in him.
To get back to our knitting: many
who read the criticisms npon Mr.
Dorsey 'b vote wondered why he
should support a rebel claim for
damage?, assuming that be bad
done so.
Mr. D. Anderson of this place
wrote to Mr. Dorsey concerning the
matter, and received the following
reply, which will 6erve to stop the
"bad talk" until Mr. Djrsey furnishes
copies of the bill for publication :
"House op Representatives U.S.
.S..i
7.
Washington. D. C ,
January 12tb, 1887
Friend Anderson : I did not vote
for ayl to any rebel institution. I
did vote to authorize the Quarter
master General to settle with the Mc
Mennville & Manchester Road, w hich
was owned, operated and controlled
by Union men, and to allow them a
credit on a judgment the government
holds against the Co.
I will in a day or two send the
state papers copies of bill, reports
etc, that will explain fully and to
your satisfaction I am sure. I am
opposed to and will vote against all
rebel claims.
Yours,
Geo. W. E. Dorsey."
The Battle
The voting on U. S. Senator begins
at noon to-day, (Tuesday.) Nobody
expects an election by this vote or
the next. Abont Thursday, we pre
dict, the elements will begin to be in
commotion.
It is just as evident now as it was
when the campaign for nominating
state senators and legislators began,
that the party machines are riot so
constructed as to grind out votes for
the people's favorite, Charles H. Van
Wyck. Party drivers of the Dem
ocratic persuasion are endeavoring to
hold votes from Van Wyck, by urging
democrats who were elected as b ing
favorable to him, to violate their
honorable pledges and bo herded into
party fields for a monopoly dem
ocrat firfct, or a monopoly republican
second.
Party drivers of the Republican
persuasion are no less strenuous to
defeat Van Wyck, and are bringing
every consideration, good and bad,
to bear upon Republican members
elected by a constituency strongly
favorable to Senator Van Wyck's re
turn, to turn traitor to their con
stituencies. The people have done their duty,
or attempted it; if any man thinks he
can disregard their plainly-spcken
wi!l, or do it violence without ex
citing their just wrath, be reckon
wrongly.
Senator Van Wjck'e general course
in the U. S. Senate has been uch as
to attract the favorable attention of
patriotic citizens in every part of the
Union. He deserves to be re-elected.
The State of Nebraska will be
honored by his re-elecion, and the
senator or representative who votes
again&t him and defeats his return
will hear from the people of this
commonwealth iu no uncertain lan
guage. Aaotaer lasuuice.
Every once in a while eome fellow
says, "if you don't get favorable rates
of transportation from the railroads,
you nave the privilege of going a
foot or hiring an ox team," all ob
livious of the fact that, like the Sab
bath, railroads are made for man,
and not man made for railroads. If
rates were reasonably low, there are
thousands of things that could be ac
complished which are now utterly
impracticable. If the government,
in some manner, could assume the
ownership of the roads and run them
at a nominal rate to cover cost, there
would be a revolution in trans
portation matters that would be
greatly to the interests of the public
The Schuyler Herald gives the
following instance of how to present
system works. It is only one more
of the innumerable procession that
have gone before :
"Smith & Fuller bought the engine
formerly used by the creamery, to
place in their elevator at Leigh.
After loading it on a car for ship
ment it was learned that the U. P.
were going to charge them forty
cents a hundred tor taking it to Fre
mont. And if the other road, fixed
their prices in proportion to the dis
tance necessary for them to haul it to
get to its destination, the entire cost
would foot op about $1.25 per hun
dred. The engine was unloaded and
hauled across the country for fifteen
cents per hundred."

The agents of railway companies and
colonizing societies in the last named
states are already going into South
Carolina, and it is said there is a
movement for exporting them in
large numbers to the southern part
of California. The colony agents will
pay their fare in advance and take it
out of their wages after arrival, in
monthly installments. It is claimed
that the laws of South Carolina are
more oppressive in their provisions
then those of other states, and land
lords have laborers and tenants en
tirely at their mercy.
Dr. W. H. Gray, of West Falls,
Frederick county, Maryland, thinks

he calls "the perpetual gravity power
machine," and lor which he claims
an eight-foot wheel can be con
structed that will furnish 200 horse
power. He has had his machine on
exhibition at Frederick recently
which attracted a good deal of at
tention, and it is thought by many
that at least a new means of furnish
ing motive power has probably been
discovered.

WasaiBBtoa letter.
(Ircn our regular correspondent.)
Washington, Jan. 11, 1886.
During the past week there was a
creditable amount of legislation by
Congress and an unusual amount of
speech-making and debate. Several
regular appropriation bills were
pushed through the House, dozens of
private pension bills were- passed,
among them one giving Mrs. Logan
$2,000 a year, the public buildings
bill came up for attention, and also
that relating to a reorganization of
the navy. In tbe Senate, secret ses
sions were devoted to the Mexican
Reciprocity treaty, and open sessions
to the long lingcriug question of
Inter-State Commerce, with its long
haul, short haul and other prominent
features.
Tbe recent publication iu a New
York paper announcing that the
Pacific railroads bad been bribing
congressmen in a wholesale fashion,
natuially attracted some attention on
Capitol Hill, and emphatic denials
were heard on every side. Said one
member who had served in the
Forty-fourth, Fifth, Eighth, and
Ninth Congresses, "There has been
less lobbying in the present Congress
than in any of the others, and if it
should be proven that any member
has accepted bribes as claimed in that
report, he would, of course, be ex
pelled." The President's message to tbe
Senate on bis re-appointment of Mr.
Matthews, tbe colored Recorder of
Deeds, from Albany, has not had tbe
effect he expected. Mr. Cleveland
did not think the citizens of tbe Dis
trict of Columbia would protest
against the confirmation of this ap
pointee a second time. But they are
more determined now that this
stranger shall not slay than they
were at first. Colored people, North
and South, without regard to politics,
are working in behalf of Matthews.
Senators have received appeals from
colored societies and prominent col
ored men. They seem to have lost
sight of political considerations in
the bf-lief that tbe Senato rejected Mr.
Matthews because of his color.-
It is impossible to say now what
may be done in this Congress to
wards Revenue Reform, but it is
quito certain that the Republicans and
the Randall men are nearinjr an
agreement and maturing a raid on the
internal revenue, which will probabl)
be made this week. Their aim will
be to remove tbe tax on tobacco,
alcohol used in tbe arts, and fruit
brandies, whether any attempt be
made to alter tbe tariff or not.
The Democrats have repeatedly
proven that they can do nothing of
themselves. They lack both harmony
and leadership. Said one of them
yesterday, "we haven't time to fool
away on tariff matters, reduction of
revenue can wait." Said another, a
few moments later, "The one thing
that cannot wait is the reduction of
the surplus by a repeal of tariff."
Presidential aspirants like Carlisle,
Morrison and Randall, have sacrificed
opportunities for reducing taxation,
it would eee'm, to prevent the eleva
tion cf one of themselves above the
other. They have certainly acted in
such a way as to conviuce the people
tha they will prevent any legislation
which they cannot have all their own
way.
With a resolution urging tho re
peal of internal revenue taxation,
strong resolutions iu tavor of tbe
Blair Educational bill have been in
troduced in the North Carolina
Legislature. The fact seems to have
been overlooked that if the Blair bill
is passed, there will be no need to
worry about the treasury Burplus.
If educatiou, coast defense, the. new
navy, and other things were attended
to on the liberal scale proposed, re
duction would follow expeditiously,
without touching tbe whisky and
tobacco tax.
It looks a9 if there would be a
temperance experiment in this city
sooner or later. Great effort has
been made to keep prohibition out of
Washington, but it is thought useless
to try much longer. Congress dic
tates to the District of Columbia, and
these days tbe petition boxes of tbe
Seuate and House are crowded with
memorials on tbe subject of tern
perauce. And from the little can
vassing that has been attempted
among members of both branches of
Congress, it is thought a large
majority are now ready to vote in
favor 01 a stringent prohibitory law
tor this little square of the public
domain.
The Washington Permanent Ex
position project is now being agitated.
by. a Congressional committee, and
the feubject of Public Priuter Bene
dict's coniirmatton oy tne senate is
being agitated by some members of
the typographical Uuion. The Pub
lie Printer, under the act creating tbe
position, must be a practical printer
and binder, aud be able to demon
strate his fitness and capacity. This
it is said tbe preseut incumoent
caunot do, and if he cannot, he will
not get through the Senate, if
vigorous protests will do any good.
Anglomania baa died out entirely
in Washington. The real Duke of
Sutherland spent all last week at one
of the best hotels here, and nobody
called to see bim. He was so certain
that the social world of tbe Capitol
would want to lionize him by storm,
that he took tho unnecessary pre
caution of saying he would decline to
receive any cardd. He is the same
nobleman who went "to a wedding at
the house of ilou. John Bigelow, iu
New York, attired iu a rusty, checked
morning suit, under the impression
that "it doesn't mako any difference
what one wears in America, you
know."

It can be given in a cup of coffee or
tea without the knowledge of
the person taking it, effecting
a speedy and permanent cure,
whether the patient is a moderate
drinker or an alcoholic wreck.
Thousands of drunkards have been
made temperate men who have taken
the Golden Specific in their coffee
without their knowledge, and to-day
believe they quit drinking of their
own free will. No harmful effect re
sults from its administration. Cures
guaranteed. Send for circular and

At Portsmouth, O., occurred a fire
tbe other night which burned several
stores and an old man.
Xetlatay lYm the 8eaare.
I have been suffering with rheu
matism for about twenty-five years.
I am now forty-two years old. My
pains were so great that I have been
confined to my bed from eight to ten
months at a time, and twp years
ago I was in bed nineteen months
perfectly helpless, being afflicted all
over. At that time, having tried
every known remedy before, I com
menced tbe use of Swift's Specific.
I used about two dosen bottles. I
have never had any thing to act so
promptly and efficiently in my life.
My health and vigor were restored ;
I can walk and ride as well as when
a boy. My business is such as to
keep me on my feet about fourteen
hours during tbe day, but I go
through without any inconvenience.
I can cheerfully recommend S. S. S.
to those who suffer with rheumatism.
