I n- v. MoimintER, . . . r.KiitOIITON.VA BD1T0H SATURDAY, MAY 14, 1881. Tho census office has just issued ti pre llmlnary exhibit of the statistics of the dally press of tho the United States. The total Humbcr of daily journals in the country dur ing the census year Is placed at UflJ, which Includes 80 dailies which were suspended and 114 which were cstnblirhedln the course pf that year. Tho apregnlo daily circula tion Is placed at 3,6.11,187, and the aggre gate annual circulation at 1,127,337,355. With an aggregate dally circulation of!.,- 581,187, at an average price per a'nnum of $7.33, it appears that the people of tho Unit ed States pay out annually the sum of $2(5 250,100 fur their dally newspapers. - Sir Edward Thorntnn, who has served flir nearly thirteen years as the British Min ister at Washington, and has been fnr some tlmo tho senior In Service there, and conse quently the Dean of thn Diplomatic Corps, is shortly to leavo Washington for St. Pe tersburg, lie has had a remarkably suc cessful career, his name having been asso ciated with some of the most important ne gotiations between tho two nations, parti cularly tho ssttlenieut of the Alabama Claims by the Treaty of Washington. His departure will be regretted,, for his efforts have been steadily devoted to cementing tho good feeling between tho two nations. Ilrigndier General De Witt Clinton Baxter, of Zouave fame, died on Monday, utter a short illness, at his residence in Thlladelphla. He was mustered into tho service on the 27th of April, 1881, as Llen tnant Colonel of ihe Nineteenth Pennsyl vania' Volunteers, Colonel Peter liyle. On May 10, 1801, the regiment was ordered to Baltimore, andi after being detained four days beyond their term of enlistment, the men were mustered out on August 20. The 8ovenly-secotid Regiment, known as Bax ter's Fire Znuaves, was .recruited in Phila delphia,, and on the 10th of August Lieu tenant Colonel Baxter was chosen Colonel. During the Biege of Yorktown the regiment was employed in fatigue duty in the trenches, and participated In all the opera tions on the Peninsular, afterward at An tictam, and the final operations against Richmond. Colonel Baxter was promoted on March 13, 1805, to the rank of Brevet Brigadier General, having been mustered out of the service with his regiment on Au gust 24, 1804. Up to a short period before his death General Baxter held'a position in the Mint. Corporate monopoly at one time was a subject of much interest in'business walks j but monopoly from the consolidation of several, companies into one is becoming ft piwer of much greater force and conse quence. Jn (he language of the New York Commercial Bulletin, the great ground-swell movements of society advance slowly and olruvst imperceptibly! but they come with avast sweep that no power can resist; and it is, therefore, wise to keep u close watch wp-in them. Time was when the working capital of society was infinitely subdivided into small unit"). Each one of those units was represented by an Individual or a firm; and, on the one hand stimulated by self in terest and on the other regulated by compe tition, their services to society were bene ficent and their rewards were exactly ad justed to the value of their services to so ciety. That was the era of wholesome indi vidual competition. With the Introduction of steam and mochinery, a new set of forces came into play. Individual capital was insufficient to provide the costly plant that the new methods of production and trans portation called for. A number of individ uals-had to combine their means td nrovlde the capitaPfor wielding-these new powers; and nenee came the era of joint-stock enter prise. Competition now assumed a new phase. It was between tho corporation and the individual,- and this phase has end od in the comparative extinction of indi vidual enterprise In all the more important branchesof industry and commerce. Follow ing.thls came an era of competition as be tween the corporations themselves. Huge capital' was arrayod against huge capital, and the battle of Ibe great corporations was found fearfully destructive. Tiiere was, perhaps, nothing in the nature of corporate enterprise- that absolutely necessitated' this tort of conflict; but it was found so easy to procure capital for imposing undertakings and the profits to their promoters were so large that the supply of associate enterprise ran far beyond what the community could support, and hence resulted an invltable conflict for business among them, which only the strongest or the fittest could survive. All attempts to control this destructive com petition failed; It might have been sup posed that the heavy losses of the stock holders would check the contribution of capital (o corporate undertakings. The crash ofl873 showed how egregiously the corpor ate employment of capital has been over done. Some 1500 millions of railroad capital suddenly shrank to about one forth of its nominal valuation. The great coal com panies were driven into suspension, or to the verge of it. A host of iron manufactur ing associations became bankrupt. Many of our texilo manufacturing companies were found to be insolvent; and, generully, tho country was strewn with the wrecks of stock companies. These fearlul losses of corporate capital, however, put only a momentary check upon the Investment of capital in these enterprises. So soon as tho nation bad recovered from the shock, and, through painful economy, had accumulated a new surplus, tbe savings were eagerly placed at the disposal of promoters; end we are to-day again In the midst of another and unpre cedented corporate inflation. statu i.i:r;isi,ATinii;. In the 8enate on the 5th Inst-, the bill re ducing the toll collected by boom companies for logs came up as a special order, and was defeated! The ten million refunding bill was made the order fir next Wednesday afternoon, The House bill providing for a dog tax was reported favorably, and tho House bill pensioning Mexican veterans was read at length. In the- House Mr. Eouder led the usual fight against the consideration of the Delin quent Tax bill with success. The House bill appropriating $125,000 for the State Geo logical Survey passed second reading. The bill for the organisation of a State Board of Health was lost In evening session for want or the required constitutional majority. In tbe Senate Friday, the supplement to the Fire Escape bill passed third reading. Among the bills which passed second read ing was that appropriating $10,000 for tbe oulebralion of the Penn bi-centenulal. Several millitary nominations were received but not acten upon, and tne senate adjourn d until Monday evening. In-the House a petition wea presented from cititens of Lackawauua county, asking the impeachment of Governor Ilovt and Attorney -General Palmer, because of their ictlon'ln. reference to some Judicial offices m (he county. The etltion was read and, after an angiy debate, it was ordered to be. returned to the signers as "impertinent, Im pitier and scandalous," and "all proceed ings in connection with the same to be ex punged from the journals nflhellouso and the Legislative Record." The voto on this was 80 yeas to 52 nays a party vote. In the Homo Monday ovculng, Messrs. Rice, Edwanls (of Schuylkill), Hazle My ers (of Venango), and others, made "per sonal statements." which consisted mainly of gross personal abuse of the speakers at the Academy of Music meeting held in Philadelphia last Saturday evening. After an explanatlun by Speaker Hewitt, Mr. Paunce attempted to fix special sessions for the consideration of the Delinquent Tax bill, but failed, lor want of a Iwo-lhjrds af firmative vote, to secure a suspension of the rules. When the result of the voto was an uouueed, "Mr. Bonder aud one or two others indulged in several loud cries In imitation of roosters." In the Senate, Tuesday, the report of the special committee appointed to examlno the condition of the Middle Penltcntlaiy was present. It recommends that the building be altered fof a reformatory school, and thot $300,000 be appropriated for the purpose. A resolution was unanimously adopted looking to the transfer of the mor tal remains of William Penn from England to Philadelphia, and it was sent to the House for concurrence. Tho House bill proposing a Prohibition amendment, after a parliamentary struggle, was ordered to be placed on the calendar. Howard J, Reed er, of Northampton county, was confirmed as Additional Law Judge "for the Third Ju dicial District. In tho House, after more personal state mcnts and discussions, an effort to have both the Apportionment and Delinquent Tax bills considered at a special session was lost for want of a two thirds affirmatlvo vote. The Four Mill tax bill was consider ed and laid over to be printed. After con curring in tho Senate resolutions relating to the removal of William Pcnn's remalna the House adjourned. In tho Senate Wednesday, the bill pro viding that the sessions of the Supreme Courts be fixed permanently in Fbiladol phia, reported negatlvoly several weeks ago, was ordered to be printed and placed on the calendar. The Philadelphia Pilotage bill, amended to meet tho views of tho Mari time Exchange.was reported favorably. The Senate bills admitting women to practice as a'torneys; appropriating $10,000 for the Penn-bi-ccntenuial, and making it a mis demeanor to attempt to ride on railroad trains witliont paying fare, wero passed finally, and; sent to the Hoiise.

FHOM OUR REGULAR C0ERE3PONOKKT. Nkw Yore, .May 4, 1881. ABOUT LAMES' FASHIONS. The beautiful weather which wo are at present enjoying, and tho projected migra tion of families to summer resorts, have caused tho dry goods people to do a rushing business, and the fair sex to appear in rai ment to which Solomon in all his glory was hardly a circumstance. The subdued and neutral tints and combinations of color which have of late years obtained so largely on mistaken resthelic grounds, have thus far given place to moro suitable and pronounc ed coloring. Fabrics arc, in pattern and color, largely Oriental in character, and with their bordeiing of steel and silver ornamen tation require very deft and skillful combi nations of tulle, ribbons, Ac;, to keep them sufficiently subdued in tone and general effect. Two additions to Bhaded fabrics are "capuclne " which runs from a brown to a bright sunlight shade, and " coral red " which runs from blood hue to a flesh tint. Tbe designs need on neckties, hats, Ac, as well as for funs and sunshades are diamonds, hearts, spades and clubs. The taste for bro cades of a small design still prevails, and a very commendable taste it is, and every dressmaker has a special woy of cutting and trimming very jaunty waists as well as of making skirts. Light materials, such as grenadines and crape, will be made with skirts covered with flounces, and Scotch plaid is to be seen on all parts of tbe toilet ; while there are no new colors, a casual visit to Lord A Taylor's store will demonstrate how tho possibility of varying shades has been utilized, and what additions have been made iu this direction In fancy woolen goods there are new varieties, some of the thinner Bort being shot with gold and silk threads with groundings of amethyst, sap phire, emerald, topaz, Ac, aud some with gray or moss colored bases. Somo of the plaid goods consist of very small squares in two toues, while over these designs aro vari ous colored threads forming large squares, and BUits of these, when trimmed with bows of satin orflurah in the colors of these larger squares, are very chic and becoming with thoir narrow folds that fall below tho edges of the different parts of the suits. Dotted materials will also again be in vogue, and colored laces dyed to match the colors of the materials they are used upon some petti coats being entirely covered with tbem. This lace.whioh is a very charming and ef fective novelty, is also used to hem suits and to majte dainty little caps. A very original and becoming suit that we have lately seen, is made of fancy foulard, witii an old gold colored grounding, red figures combined with red mrah Thelong tight sleeves are cut up on tho outside and bordered with lace, and the fancy basque, waist and skirt are very prettily designed both as to chape and shade. There are also different newstyjesol outer garments, chief ly in tho wuy of mantillas, drawn In at the back by means of a belt which joins the sleeves, and made variously of gray each eiulre del'Indc, "lloiee," colored cloth and fawn colured English cloth. Bonnets are made to match the suits, and havo broad strings, with a bow lied near the cor, and fastened by a gold- or pearl pin. Spanish blonde is likely to be a favorite for the dress aud bonnet. riilE AHT3 AND ABTrSTS. Any one who is at all acquainted with the process of reproducing pictures, known as rhoto-Qravure and 'introducod by Messrs. Goupll A- Co., of Paris, will readily under stand with what charming effect it can be applied to the illustration ot poetry or fic tion. It at ouce fulfils the decenary condi tion of absolute accuracy of dotall and faith fulness of contour, with a delicacy of chiar 'oscurand a teinder sense of color, which no mere engraving can to the same extent pos sess, and it peculiarly fitted for the pre sentation of ideal Itic, grotesque and fanciful compositions and Ideas. Mr. I. W. Bouton, the well known publisher, is, in connection with Messrs. Henry Sothcran A Co., of Lon don, tin the eve of issuing a poem entitled " The First of May," contalnlnlng 87 illus trations and designs reproduced by this pro cess from tbe drawings of that very talented arlist, Mr. Walter Crane, whoso delicacy and yet firmness of handling and power of in dividualization are hero ably displayed In varied ladscapes, figures human and grotes que, frescoes and arabesques. This process has never before been tried on so large a scale, and thero is every appearance, judged by present results, of its being successful and popular. Mr. Crano is a draughtsman and designer of high skill and nice decorative sense, and in selecting him as their exponent of this application of the beautiful process the publishers exhibit much sagacity. The annual exhibition nf the students' work of the Ash Students' League was held yesterday evenlng,and was most successful. This school, which is much belter attended than that of the academy,has done a great deal to develop a taste for good art, and to instruct in broad and liberal methods. Numbering among Its teachers such men as W. M. Chase, J. Carroll Beckwitb, W. Ged ney Bunco and J, S. Hartley it could not fall of having a powerful Influence, and in three or four years of its existence it has proved Its vitality. The studies and sketches of the students displayed on the walls last evening were excellent and. some of them even more. Messrs. Arthur Tarton and Georgo Henry Hall have been having salesof their pictures. The former has improved of Isle and sayed himself from fulling into that terrible hard nejs of style which characterizes so many ol the "Hudson River School." Mr. Hall's work is usually remarkable for gaudlness, and some years ago, either Mr. C. Cook of tho Tribune, or Mr. Laffan of the Suu, des cribed some unpleasant looking cherubs of Mr. Hall's ad being " made of red currant jelly. The Salmagundi Sketch Club, one of the most useful and Important art institutions of the city, will hold its annual exhibition at the National Academy of Design, during December next. The members of this club contribute in turn a work embodying their canceptlon of ideas, which ore chosen for them by the others. AMUSEMENTS. In operatic circles tho DeBeauplan Opera company has been having its difficulties. First, despite the fact that the singing was, in the main, excellent, and the ballet and orchestra good, it was not a financial suc cess, and salaries to the extent of over three thousand dollars are due some of the mem bers. And now, to cap the climax, Mme. Tourine applies for a warrant, alleging that her husband, the tenor, and Mme. Lucilio Ambre, the prima donna and wife of Mons. DeBeauplan, have eloped together, since nothing can be heard of cither at the hotel where they wcro stopping.' Walluck's old theatre will henceforth bo known as the Gcrmania' theatre, having been leased fur a period of .eight years to Mr. Adolph Ncuendorff, the lessee of the German theatre here and one oi tho adapt ers of that dramatic failure "Di Clyde." Bernhardt has gone, and Lotta reigns in her stead. M. WASHINGTON. OUR SPECIAL LETTER. The Amusement In the Senate Ended The Dead-lock Broken Business Begun Garfield's Bull's Eye The Senator who is Never Satisfied The Star Route Frauds Tho Chinese Treaty Ratified. Washington, D. C, May 7, 1881. The dead-lock is broken. The Republi cans deny with moderate earnestness that they have surrendered. Mr. Dawes, the or gan of the caucus, in a 6peech preceding this motion to go into executive cession, de clarcd that the Republicans yielded noth ing; that they went into executive session simply to confirm somo essential nomina tions, after which they would tako up the old fight with renewed vigor. That is un undoubtedly the formal purpose ot tho Re publicans, but probably very few Republi cans would, in private, deny that the mo tion to go into executive session is the be ginning of the end. About one hundred nominations had been confirmed up till yesterday, when at about one o'clock a mes sago from the President was received ond read In the Senate. Mr. Conkling was in his Beat at the time, and to 'all appearances busily engaged in looking over papers. The message contained the withdrawal of all tho New York nominations hut Judge Rob ertson's; and still the New York Senator seemed totally indifferent, while the eyes of nearly every other Senator turned instinc tively towards ,hlm. He evidently knew what was coming. Other business being taken up, the Senators gither:d about in knots and discussed the situation. It is known that Messrs. Conkling and Allison talked earnestly together for a long while in the course of the afternoon, but the latter stated last evening that he had heard noth ing on which to form an opinion as to whether Robertson's nomination would be successfully considered or not stall. An in timate personal friend of the President, when asked the special meaning of Gen. Garfield's move in withdrawing tbe New York nominations, said : "It means that Mr. Conkling is to be broken down thor oughly and effectively. There is no at tempting to do any kind of business with him. He Is never satisfied unless he has his 'belly full,' and there is no guaging his belly. The President has done everything in his power to please him. In fact, he has almost humiliated himself by going out of the way to ask this insufferable bump of egotism, conceit and vanity, just what would bo most unobjectionable to him. The result has been that nothing satisfies him. lie will have a fight. He stands conitantly, however, in tho position of peace and conciliation. He says be desires no controversy, and yet ho has made an is- suo with the President, strong and direct, and the President lias squarely accepted that Issue. It is the Administration against Mr Conkling. GarGeld by his action re gains his popularity. He has been told that the public has more respect for a man who does not wrong valiantly than It has for a man who does right sueakingly. The President has rcsolyed to temporize no more. It will be some days yet before the Post Office department will have sufficiently proceeded with its slar route contracts in vestigation to make publio any additional developments. The reports, however, are not idle. Tbe inquiry is not confined alone to the department proper here, but is like wise being prosecuted in the districts where someot the most notorious routes, as already disclosed, are located. The star route ring are rather taken aback by the manner in which the Garfield-Hubbell letter is received by the public They had expected It would produce a sensation, jvhereas it has fallen flat, and not produced a ripple. The treaties signed at 'Pekin, in Novem ber last, by the American and CMeesa tom uissloners, were ratified iy the Senate yes ttrdsy, One of these relates entirely to the subject of immigration, and recognizes the right of tho Government ot the United States to regulate, limit or suspend the In troduction of Chinese labor Into this country whenever it shall deem such Introduction dangerous to the good order or social Inter ests of any locality. The treaties,as a whole, concede about all that China asks, and re serves to the United States the right of pro hibiting the introduction of Chinese labor at its discretion. August Fromtiur RKOULAft CoanssroKDiNT. Washington, May 10, 1881. SENATORIAL COCRTKSUS. Mr. Eoitor, So much has been said of late about Senatorial courtesy, or the "cour tesies of the Senate," that something con cerning that branch of the government and Its ways may not be Inappropriate. The U. S. Senate, both from thu organic nature of tho body and from its customs, represents the conservatism and dignity of the Ameri can people. To be a member of that body Is regarded an honor second only to that of being President of the ration, and It confers Influence almost es great. The Senate is often flippantly spoken of by writers for Ihe press In a tone of criticism for its " heavy dignity," yet, alter all, this feature, Instead of being a subject of criticism, appears to thinking, people, one of congratulation. The Senate is the permanent legislative body of our Government, and wbllo party politics divides its members, as in all other bodies, there is Bllll a limit bounded by courtesy, and partisanship does not have the sway it exercises in the lower House. The rule of courtesy is an unwritten law, nonpartisan in its nature and possessing equal force and effect with any constitutional or legislative provision. For an illustration of the re straining influence of this reign of dignity and courtesy, we may refer to the late dead lock. With all the exciting conditions at tending this contest, it has been kept with in reasonable bounds. In the House this same state of affairs would have produced a roaring tornado. But thero is one direction in which th's senatoral courtesy extends wherein its re sults are not of unquestionable property. This Is with reference to nominations by.lhe President for Federal offices. It is all very well for Senators lo defor to one another, but courtesy which permits one or two Senators to almost veto a presidential ap pointment seems to be a decided stretch of politeness. Tho practice of it has grown Into a system which amounts to usurpation. By it, Benatora ore enabled in a large de gree to control tbe power of appointments to office, lodged by tho Constitution with the Executive. It was in the days of An drew Johnson that the Senate commenced to arrogate to itself powers which previous ly no member of that body had ever dream ed of laying claim to. Tho Senate went a long way ahead ot the House in originating measures trenching upon the powers of the Executive and invaded first one and then another of his prerogatives, until ho was rendered completely powerless, and no nom ination he made had any chance of confir mation unless by previous understanding with the Senators representing the State in which the office was located. These weie considered as legitimate war measures, or emergency measures, but Senators have been loth to surrender any of the prerogatives thus taken to themselves. The tendency of human nature is to acquire more, rather than to surrender power. And while the Senate is evenly balanced between the two parties, with the Executive Department In the hands of tho party thot has controlled It for twenty years, it is a good lime to con sider whether the practice that has prevail ed Is a correct one. President Hayesthought It was not, and acted accordingly, though. with but indifferent success. Gen. Garfield evidently also thinks tbe appointing power belongs to the President, and bis troubles are just beginning. In other directions the courtesies prevail- in the Senate are more admirable. One is In reference lo promotions on committees When a new Seuator is assigned to a com mitleo his name is enrolled at the foot of the majority or minority. according to his politics and as those above him retire he goes up. For instance, when the Democrats got control of the Senate it was easy for anybody to determine what Senators would become chairmen of tho respective commit tees. The highest name among tbe Demo crats on each committee was promoted to the chairmanship in all cases expect those where the same Senator occupied that po sition on more than one committee. This "couitesy" contributes largely to the well ordered dignity which the Senate maintains, because it prevents any scramble for prefer mcnt aud nothing is more undignified in a statesmen than that. The rights allowed the minority in distributing the committee patronage of the Senate is also a feature un known in tho House. The method of ob taining more eligible seats is of tbe same quiet, dignified order that prevails in other matters. In a book kept for that purpose tbe Senator has his name entered as choos ing a certain seat whenever the present oc cupant shall retire. Sometime vacancies do not occur as expected and the applicant must wait. Senator Logan applied for Senator Kirkwcod's teat some days before any-body else knew tbe latter was going Into the Cabinet. This shows that Logan is " up to snufl'." There is never any competition in the Senate for the right to tbe floor, tin the contrary, a willingness to yield to another is always observed, and foreign ministers and diplomats after noting the decorum that works the United State Senate have Inva riably pronounced.lt-lhe' most dignified and courteous legislative body in the world. But few altercations or scenes of violence have ever occurred in the Senate or on the floor of that chamber. One of the most notable was the attack of Brooks, of South Carolina, upon Charles Sumner, and in this case the attacking party belonged to the other House. I saw stated some time ago, and the para graph was published throughot the country, that a Judge Orr, of Mississippi, had pos session of the 'canp which Brooks used in his assault upon Mr.' Sumnertbat be bad. ob tained it tram ex-Senator, Orr,of South Caro lina, who got it from Brooks himself, and the cane was described as being of hickory with a heavy silver head. Captain Bassett, the venerable doorkeeper of the Senate, says the cane used was made of gutta-perba, that it broke Into pieces on the first blow, and he picked up and still has one of the pieces.
