CONGRESSIONAL REFORMS.
Thb National noose of ltepreHontatiyos had
th Legislative Appropriation bill under coa
idratioa yesterday, and tho neceHaity of
retrenohmont and reform in Congressional
expenditures was forcibly illustrated by seve
ral statements and propositions made during
the discussion it elicited. For instance, Mr.
Pawes moved that the salary of the Sorgeant-fct-Arms
of the Senate be fixed at $1320
(which is twice as much as an official of his
grade should receive), and that in future he
shall not be allowed fees of any kind. The
House Bpeedily adopted this motion af tor Mr.
Pawes eiplained that "the laRt 8ergeant-at-Arms
of the Senate was said to have boasted
that he had made twenty-five dollars a day
on the item of horses alone !"
This is a great country, but tho theory de
Toutly cherished by some of the jacks-in-odloe
that their perqnisitos and peculations
should bear a fair proportion to the greatness
of the whole nation Rhould be antagonized at
arrr nnint. and the fellows who make
'twenty-five dllars a day on horsos alono"
oannot too soon be plaoed on short commons.
In a debate on the item relating to Capitol
police, Mr. Dawes intimated that there ipuh
reaUy no $ufflcicnt reason for the. maintenance
Cfapolw at all, but finally this subject was
disposed of by a resolution that no disabled
soldiers on the present force should be dis
missed. Even this modification will insure
the retention in the public servioa of
ft m ruber of useless officials,' and the time
is rapidly coming when the public will not
willingly submit to such malappropriations of
their money. A motion to strike out an ap
propriation for the reporters of the Vongrcs
$umal Globe was defeated, mainly on the
ground that the children of Congressmen
should not be deprived of opportunities of
talying the records of their distinguished
fathers in that edifying and expensive publi
cation. The Globe appeals so directly to the
Vanity of the members by treasuring their
lightest words that they are loth to surrender
it. On its pages men who are utterly inca
pable of making speeches figure as accom
plished orators, and doll or disgraceful de
bates, after being amended and polished,
are converted into models of elegance
fc&i eloquence. The national weakness for
bunoombe speeches is also largely encouraged
3y this record, and many good practical
thinkers are tempted to make themselves
ridiculous by reading to empty benches effu
sions prepared to order, and by deluding
their more verdant constituents into the be
lief that the genial air of the Capitol has en
dowed them with new powers. All the
peech-makin j necessary or useful in Con
gress would be done much better than it is at
present, if the number of orators was limited
to a few of the best talkers, and if the pre
tenders who get the floor merely for the sake
of having that fact announced, or for making
false reputations, were coughed down as re
morselessly as they are in the British Par
liament. . A "NATIONAL" ENTERPRISE.
NaaHvnxx, or the merchants of Nashville, to
speak more precisely, propose to erect a
"national" monument to the memory of that
Christian soldier and unflinching patriot,
Stonewall Jackson. Monuments are gool
things to have in the country ou general
principles, as we have often demonstrated;
and when they are intended to commemorate
the virtues and services of suchpre-emiuently
"national" personages as Stonewall Jackson,
it is fitting that they should be decidedly "na
tional" in their character, which means simply
that 'the subscriptions should be from all
parts of the country. The patriotic mer
chants of the Tennessee capital have taken
the matter in hand in sober earnest, and have
begun in the right way by appointing a com
mittee to raise the money that will be re
quired to complete this desirable "national"
soheme. We heartily commend the enter
prise to the Democracy of this city, and if it
will not be considered impertinent on our
part, would suggest that tho concern ' whioh
kas its headquarters at Ninth and Arch streets
Appoint an auxiliary committee to reoeive
the contributions of our citizens. Stonewall
Jackson's Democracy was of such a decided
And undisguised stripe that the Fourth ward
crowd will unquestionably testify their admi
Tation for it by a liberal subscription. ,' i '
Thb iNTKBvtBwtNO pbocess has been run
into the ground by a New York paper, "which
his been unable to find a more dignified char
acter than a cock-fighter of "nigh on six and
thirty years" at anding to interview. As might
Lave been expected, some startling facts were
developed. One was to the effect that Henry
Bergh, the philanthropic President of the
Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Ani
mals, is a "superannuated old thief," whioh
witl distress Mr. Bergh's friends not a little.
But the most important item elicited was that
"roosters ain't animals," and the interviewer
was challenged to cite where he could find
'anything in the Soripter, or any other book,
that says they are." The bearing of this upon
the vegetarian system of diet should not be
lost sight of.
Mwsoubi insists upon being cut in two,
and assigns a novel reason therefor the un
equal distribution of the spoils of office. Of
. course such a piece of gross injustioe as this
should be remedied, if it is found necessary
to divide the State up into iofinitesimal
pieces, the largest not larger than the State
of Delaware. A fair distribution f)f the offioes
is, as every ono knows, the fundamental prin
ciple of our Government, and the prime
object for whioh it was established.
SITE OF THE MUNICIPAL DUILD-
INCS. .
A btbono opposition to the erection of the
contemplated municipal buildings of Phila
delphia on Independence Square was deve
loped in the lower branch of the State Legis
lature yesterday. Mr. Davis opened the ball
by presenting a bill prohibiting the erection
of publio buildings on Independence Square,
and this bill was referred to the Committee
on Judiciary for the purpose of obtaining
their judgment on the vexed question whether
the city is not debarred from using that Kite,
by a stipulation that it shall be maintained as
an open space forever. '
At a meeting of the Philadelphia delegation
on the same day, they resolved by a vote of
eleven to three to report favorably on the
bill introduced by Mr. Cloud, which provides
that the people of this city shall decide by
voto, next October, where the municipal
buildings shall be located.
Mr. Hong also offered, at the same session,
a bill providing that a new commission shall
be appointed with authority to erect "publio
buildings for the accommodation of all the
courts and the municipal chambers, with all
appropriate offioes," upon Penn Square.
Although these propositions are somewhat
contradictory in their character, they are in
dicative of a strong feeling of hostility to the
continuance of the operations of tho Inde
pendence Square Commission, and if they
are energetically followed up its labors will
soon cease.
It would be manifestly unwise and unjust
to impose upon the community the heavy
burdens involved in the ereotion of the pro
posed structures before the publio wishes in
regard to their location are clearly ascer
tained, and ample opportunities should be
given for a free expression of the existing
hostility to the programme which has been
hastily and inconsiderately adopted.
MORTON'S NEUTRALITY.
Senator Mobton yosterday introduced a bill
in the National Senate making it a misde
meanor to fit out or equip ships of war, or to
soil or furnish arms, with the intent that they
shall be employed in the service of any
foreign prince or Sta'e to commit hostilities
against the people of. the province, distriot,
or colony who are iu a state . of armed insur
rection against such foreign prince or Stat t,
and providing for the forfeiture of suoh ship
or vessel. This bill is intended for "bun
combe" in reality, but ostensibly it proposes
to prevent any more Spanish gunboats from
being built and fitted out against Cuba in the
United States. Senator Morton supported
his bill in a spread-eagle speech about the
relations of Spain and Cuba, the Monroe doo
trine, manifest destiny, and other kindred
topics, and then it was referred to the Com
mittee on Foreign Relations, who will sit
upon it for the bulanc-e (if the session. Sena
tor Morton has no idea whatever that any such
absurd idea as thin will ever be adopted
by Congress, and it is a question whether
Lo might not be able to make capital in some
more legitimate manner than by putting
such a ridiculous proposition before the
country. It is very well to give the
Cubans all the moral as well as physi
cal aid that we conscientiously can in their
present circumstances, but it is not pleasant
to have our statesmen getting up in their
scats in Congress and proposing measures
that they know have no foundation in justice
or common sense, and that will never reoeive
the sanction either of Congress or the coun-
try. !
The Scpbsme Coubt. It, appears to be
generally conceded that Mr, Joseph P. Brad
ley, of New Jersey, whose name was recently
sent to the Senate by the President for the
vacancy on the Bench of the Supreme Court
caused by the death of Justioe Wayne, of
Georgia, will enoounter the ; same fate that
awaited Attorney-General Hoar's nomination
for the same position. It is true that the
Attorney-General is not in1 good standing
with many Senators, who allege that he is
lac&mgin some 01 me elements wmoa go
A T - 3! l 11 . . -
towards rounuing out me i character 01 a
gentleman, and his rejeotion was undoubtedly
due in some measure to this ciroumstauoe.
But the radical objection brought to bear
against him was the fact that Massachusetts
is not a portion of the circuit over which his
predeoessor presided. While it is acknow
ledged that Mr. Bradley is in every way quali
fied for the exalted judicial position to whioh
the President has nominated him, the other
objection urged against Attorney-General
Hoar is of equal weight in hs case; and the
fact that Senator Trumbull reported yesterday
I rota 'the Judiciary Committee a bill whioh
requires Justices of the Supreme Court to be
residents of their respective circuits would
seem to lndioate that the committee is unfa
vorable to his confirmation. :
w Mb.,IIono baa introduced into the State
Legislature bill, which has been reported
upon favorably, giving toj a City Sewage
and Utilization Company the exclusive right
of - removing ashes, offal, and refuse matter
from the streets, cellars, and cesspools of
Philadelphia, for a period of ten years. It is
doubtful whether the direct or indirect bene
fits likely to arise from this measure would be
Buffioient to compensate for the evils con
nected with the creation of the monopoly it
contemplates. Legislators should remember
that the unnecessary grant of exclusive privi
leges went out of fashion in the time of Queen
Elizabeth, and it is rather late in the day to
revive them. .
The Metropolitan Police Bill, we learn,
just aa we go to press with our seoond edi
tion, has been vetoed by the Governor, so
that it may yet be possible for the city to
have, what is bo gre atly needed, an . efficient
non-partisan police.
POLITICS.
i it i
Political 'mplfixUn r the
1iit)itare
Worfct be lone-Tho Kda ! the Celere4
I'rvple. t
Richmond, Fot. 0. In view of the fact that
the meeting of the Virgin! Loixlulivturc next
Tuesday Is the rcapppam nee of this body, after
six years' abseneo, with the exception of U
phantom flittinir in '07, ono I nnrprlned to find
eo much apathy In the public mind regarding
it. There Is nothing, indeed, to be vitally in
tcrcoted about. The Conservative! are perfectly
satisfied that tho Ignorance of the Bute (by
which they mean tho blacks) has not got po
sefwion of the law-making iowoi, and tho Ro-
rubllcans are comforted by the reflection that
f the Rebels (by which they mean the whiles)
don't fulfil their promises, they will again lose
the control of nITtiira.
It is Impossible to determine how parties will
divide, though it is generally agreed that the
first three weeks of tho session will find the
Hdcs drawn. The election of Judges, however,
will not draw them, for the tidal wave of log
rolling will blend all the Uule streamlets so that
they cannot be defined. To-day, upon the streets,
and in the hotels, the electioneering for the
Judgechlps Is very lively. The candidates have
cotne from the country In swarms; and Indeed
there wns no time to be lost, for some of the
Richmond lawyers had already commenced cast
ing wistful glunccs over Into the green pastures
of the districts, and spying onl spots of verdure,
where they might c hew the end of a Circuit
.Tudccshlp, or browse on tho pickings afforded
in the more humble ofllco of County Judge.
Tho Republican party now forming with such
loaders as Senator Lewis and Representatives
Piatt, MUncs, Booker, Ayer, and other, instead
of the Indiscreet nnd weak leaders it .has here
tofore had, will make a larger gap in conserva
tive ranks than tho conacrvatives themselves
dream of or tho Republicans even hope for.
It is hard to pay who the men are who are to
become prominent this session, for there Is
hardly a man of noto In the body. On tho Re
publican fide tho nolnclcfs loador is Judge or
Senator Thomas, of Heury countv. Of short
stature, wauow complexion, overhanging eye
brows, ana black, lustreless eyes, this man
gives tho law to his party in a voice utterly un
impassioncd, but a voice that commands tho
Instant and afterwards patient ottcntion of both
parties. Among the colored men, of Whom
mere arc eight or ten, r. a. Norton, tho member
from York, is considered Hie leader. He Is a
bright mulatto of little education, but with great
fluency of speech, and seems to have hardlv a
vestige of that bitterness in the matter of color
which Is too much found among tho colored
people. All of these were in the Constitutional
Convention.
The first business will be the election of Stutn
Auditors, Treasurer, and Secretary. The Secre
tary of State, It appears agreed, will be James
McDonald, for many years editor of the Itich
mond Whig; for Treasurer, Geonre Rye, of
Shenaudoah. nnd for First Auditor, William F.
Taylor, of Richmond. The Judges of the Su
preme court are likely to come next, and the
fourteenth amendment will make the choice
very dllHcult. The Circuit Judges come next,
and then the County Judtres. Provisions for
operating the educational clauses of the Consti
tution win men ue considered: for this the Rich
mond city free schools (separate for whites
and blacks) will be taken as a. model. James
C. Southall. it is said, will bo Superintendent of
Education. ,
Tbo Tax bill raising means for paving back In
terest, and the Met lenient wlla West Virginia
about her bharc of tho debts, are subjects that
will receive earlv attention. The session will
last, it is rhought, about tlx months. -
The emigration of the colored people to the
South Is already recoguized as a serious matter
for this State. I learn from a gentleman en
gaged in the business for the lust six - months
that the number he carried out of tho State was
3400. These went lo Alabama and Louisiana.
This is only one return, and tho State Is swarm
ing with n gouts from the South who are driving
just as thriving a business. It is estimated that
since July last 30.000 colored men have gone
south, leaving the women and children here
with us. Think of sweeping off 60,000 muscular
arms out of a State in six months. Is there any
country out of the densely crowded cities of
Europe mat coma stana itr Ana then no white
labor comes to take its place. The negroes say,
and they mean it, that If wo ever ge( prosperous
enough to pay them $30 a month, cash down
(that's what they get South),' they will come
back to old Virginia. '
