(New York) last Saturday: There have been so many sensational stories concerning the precise character of tne disease of Gen. Giant's tongue and throat, that H wUl he grattfytng to his many friends to learn that all the more serious and alarming symptoms connected with them have virtually disappeared.

The Senate indulged lu a discussion of tho rumors that an extra session 1 was to be lorced by tbe Republicans, when Mr. Beck stated that Work on tbe appropriation, bills in ths House was further advanced than usual for a short session. The House of lteprescntatives passed a bill amending tho Union Pue rto act so as to allow the construction of a road from Slonx City westwardly via the Niobrara Valley to a potnt on the I nlon Pacific west ot tbe 100th meridian. Tho object of tills is to out off the great bend made in the eastern portion Ot the Union Pacific, and will, it is said, shorten the distmoe from Chicago to 8 n Francisco 300 miles. Tbe bill does not grant any lauds to tbe company to build tho road, but does make the road, when built, a section ot the Union PaoiMc, so far as relates to prorating business exchange of freight cars, etc. It Is understood a company stands ready to begin tho building of the road at once. On motion ot Mr. Payson. the House concurred in tho Senate amendments to the House bill to prevent) tho unlawful occupation ot public lands, Thn Honse went Into committee Ot thn whole on the postolfice appropriation bill. Mr. Holman moved to Btrlke out the paragraph allowing additional compensation to American steamships for carrying the ocean malls and to Insert an amendment appropriating $436,000 for the transportation of all foreign malls. After a long discussion, in which tho proposition contained in the pai-agraph was bitterly attacked, Mr. Holman's motion tostriko oot theparacranh was agreed to, as well as the amendment which he offered, w'Jilch was slightly modified. Another amendment was adopted making the postage on drop lottera two cents per ounce. DiBCrjssiox on the Indian appropriation bill consumed nearly the entire time of the Senate's session on Feb. 14. The House of Beprosentativea passed the postal appropriation bOL with amendments Increasing ths Item for lettercarriers to $4,536,000. B'.riking oat the clause for additional pay to steamship lines, and enlarging the star-route item by $300,000. Consideration ot the river and harbor bill being resumed
in the House. Mr. Turner, ot Georgia, raised a point of order against tne Hennepin ! Canal paragraph, contending that tbe Committee on Bivcrs and Harbors had Infringed upon, tho jurisdiction of tbe Committee- OS itallwsys and OatinJs. Tl-v-ikirmTSn the mint of order was
reserved 'iy the Chair. The legislative bill was taken up, and, after disposing of forty pages of that measure out ot 103, the House adjourned. A MEMOB.IAX from tho Lcgitlature of Arizona urging that certain coal-fields in the White Mountain Indian BCscrration be segregated from tbe reservatnn and the rights ot the discoverers thereof be recognized, was laid before th Senate on Feb. 16. The poatofirce appropriation bill next came up and was referrjd. Consideration ot the Indian appropriation bill was then proceeded with. The section o ' the bill authorizing tbe Prusident to negotiate with the Indians for the surrender ot their rights in tbe Oklahoma lands was stricken out, and the bill passed substantially as reported from the Senate Committee. In the House ot Representatives the
Senate's amendments to the army tppropriatlon bill were non-concurred in, an! a conference committee was appointed. Mr. Blocum's motion to suspend the rules and pass the bill placing General Gr nt n the retired list was lost by a vote of 158 yens to 103 nays, toe necessary two-thirds not belnjr obtained. Hills were passed to regulate the letting of mall contracts, and to appropriate ta,ooo for a medical library building in Washington, and $76,000 for a postoffice at Aberdeen, Hiss. The bill authorizing the sale of part of the lands ot the Winnebago Indians in Nebraaka was rassed by tbe Senate Feb. 17. A favorable report was made on the Houau bill to permit the building ot a horse railroad over Book Island, to connect with the Iown shore. The anti-foreign contract labor bill was taken up, and an animated discussion ensued, l-i the course ot whloh there was a lively nassage-at-anns between Senators Sherman and Vest The latter advocated the passage ot the measure, saying he had no doubt of its constitutionality. It was an exercise of l ower and right to preserve the '.Ho of our institutions ana our civilization. It was not Intended to exclude any self-reliant man from coming to the United states. Ho was glad to ie that Mr. Sherman and o.her Republicans favored this bill. Mr. VeH said that Mr. Sherman was himself the father ot a bill to establish theomea of Commissioner of Immigration, one section of which provided that all contracts made abroad tot: the repayment of passage money by Intending
Jeff Mris. Vxe ws not having ,i surf eit of that senile, Slobbering traitor, Sir. Jefferson Davis, who lags superfluous, drooling bis treason sad his platitudes at every possible opportunity? And straugety enofigli these opportunities seem to ho wonderfully increased since the success oi the Democratic paftjV and the presumed tact that "the Southern ConXedV e'raoy is again in the Saddle;'' This garrulous old man now stands out as a representative Southern Democra. He is the iaan that the Charles ton News and Courier
thinks oan afford, to "look with scom and contenrpt'' tipon Geo. Sherman. This is ihe man who" as recently as on Thursday last wrote two' letters, in one vigorously de
nying that hs was not true to the cause of rebellion, and in th other congratulating
Ihe ex-Coiifederate soldiers of Maryland that they fought "in defense of those principles for which their fathers siiccessfollT fought in tho Revolution, which ho aewmmodatw to his admirers by tenting it a "rebellion. It was a pitiable dispTaf of toadyism that sent the Liberty Bell to give Davis an opportnnitv to pose and blubber over it in sight of the whole eountry. What is the significance of a Democratic victory, that this living putrefaction lf disloyalty and treason is elevated I3 ah importance he never attained befofe? Who is he, that his every utterance must be telegraphed broadcast, and especially the declaration that ths cause of rebellion is but steeping, or is in ambush until opjportunity shall offer for ite vindication? What has the pride of conscious) rr tilnde come to, that loyalty must truckle to this man, and be spit in the fac for the pains of seeldng to placate him? Tf the Smith be rieht. and there is noth-
iH0 in loval tv: if the North was a murderous
aggressor, there ought at least to be that pride in the Northern heart that would keep any nan from going ont of his way to let 4 fallen enemy crow over him. So far at Davis is concerned, he is in the clntch of history, and has won a place by the side of Benedict Arnold. Realizing his inability to espe that fate, or so steeped in the crime of rebellion its to be unmindful of honor, Davis never loses occasion to confirm his infarav bv Divine utterance to the
sentiment that the -rftal force, the principle f of rebellion, is not dead and never can be;
leaving it to be inferred that only tne opportunity is wanting to make the Southern Confedara5y a reality. There is danger in the friendship of such men. The velvet paw accepting the situation contains, as has been tihown, the claws that would tear the life oat of tha Union if they could. "The South fought for deathless and indestructible principles," and "has done nothing of which it repents. " These are the words. There is no guaranty of national unity so long as these prevail in the minds of any considerable number of representative men. It may be that in 1388, or 1892, as in 1861, the South will not consent Bj a peaceable change in ths adnuhistration. The same deathless "principles" for which they went into rebellion then win b as vital fonr iind eighc years hence. Stripping this question of sentiment, 11s it has been of resentment, it is evident that tbe loval necnle of this nation have an impor
tant duty before rhem. Once more the Democratic parly is in power. They are there by the . narrowest .of . pluralities, but theV are" there none the less, ani already the" ante-bellum spirit of the South is risino. Hen of the Bouth. fonrettinir the ter
rible lesson of the war, imagine they see the approach .of the resurrection of the " deathless principli;s"f or which they fought. One oi two things: these principles were infamous and are dead, or they were righteous and are alive. The duty of loyalty is to inculcate the love of oonnti?, the hatred of (reason, and the despising o: f unrepentant traitors, at whose instigoticn ho many precious lives were lost, IWiafUipoKa Journal).

Mr. Maine in His Woitahop. Mr. llliiine is foduBtrionsly at work on the second volume of his history. He devotes to in a certain number of honrs every day. Hin "workshop," as he calls it, in the Wintlom house, on Scott Circle, occupied by his family this season, is in every respect superior I o the room in which a large part of the fin t volume of his work wan written. The house in Lafayette Square wan oldfat hioneci and dingy, and Mr. Blaine's sttulv wan improvisea in a front bedroom in tho second story. A roughly constrncted deil table stood in front of the windows, and on I his Mr. Blaine did most of his writing. The flcor. the bed, the chairs, were covered with papers, books, documents and maps. Of order there seemed none. In his new quarters it is otherwise. The "workshop" is one of the pleasantest rooms in the house. It overlooks the Circle, and commands the least objectionable view of the Scott statue. Across the way is the Louise Home, founded by the venerable philanthropist Corcoran, whilom a shrewd manipulator of Government securities. Mr. Blaine's neighbors are Senator Cameron, Senator Pendleton, ex-Secretary Robeson, Prof. Graham Bell, of telephone fame, Stilson Hntchins, editor of the Washington Posf, and Paymaster Cutter, of tne navy. A large vindow with eastern exposure and a still larger bay window opening toward the south furnish the most desirable light possible, and an open fireplace adds to the cheerful look of the study. TAe warktable, plsced diagonally across the room, is
littered with manuscript ana dookb. When writing. Mr. Blaine sits with his buck to tie window. Newspaper files and books ol' reference are within easy reach, but I inugine that while actually engaged in writinii they aro rarely consulted. Mr. Blaine's memory for dates andevents is astonishinc He is rarely at fault regarding them. It is by reason of this chiefly thai he is abln to dismiss from his inind all detail and deal with the topics ho presents in the broad aad comprehens ive nwunerwhiob rliatiniTniiituui Ma writino.
