Thursday Morning, February 27, 1879.
BY coucurreuee of the House in tl e
Senate amendments, the anti-Chinese
immigration bill has fiually passed,
and now goes to Mr. Hayes for ap
proval. It is believed that the Presi
dent will either veto the bill or per
mit it to fall without a formal veto.
THE nomiuatiou of ex-Governor
Pollock is still hanging in the Senate,
waiting the pleasure of Senator Don
Cameron. He will no doubt be con
firmed, as no objection can be urged
against bim, only that he is a chronic
office hunter and supercedes oue of
Don's henchmeu.
ZACH. CHANDLER'S credentials were
presented to the Senate on Saturday,
and he wax sworn in as Senator from
Michigan to fill the vacancy occasion
ed by the resignation of Senator
Christaincv. He occupies the same
seat he did when in the Senate some
years ago.
THE regulations of the Post offi<*e
department, heretofore requiring un
paid letters to be retained in the post
office, have beeu c hanged. Hereafter
they will be forwarded to the pst
mastcr, at the office to which they are
directed, who will collect the amount
due. A new stamp has beeu ordered
for the purpose.
IT is understood that Maj. Keno, of
the Seventh cavalry, on trial by a
court of inquiry for cowardice in the
battle of Little Big Horu, which re
sulted so disastrously in the massacre
of Custer aud bis command, will ra
port that the evidence adduced against
bim will not sustain the charge with
sufficient clearness to warrant a trial
by court-marshal.
THE LIE GIVEX. —The lie puenl
between Senators Conkling ami Burn-
Hide in the Senate of the United State*
on Saturday last. Of course great
excitement prevailed in that dignified
body. Conkling paid Hurnxide did
not tell the truth, and Burnside in
pure Anglo-Saxon raid Conkling lied.
No doubt both told the truth, for it is
not to be supposed that either of them
would lie on Washington's birth day.
The recollection of that affecting story
of the halchel, would restrain them,
on that, if on no other day.
GEKKRAL SHIELDS aildrrmcd A
meeting of the National association of
the Mexican war at Baltimore on the
22d of February. He spoke of the
Mexican war, of which he said no
faithful history had ever been written. |
He declare*! it a campaign which the
world had never equalled in success.
The brave old veteran knew whereof
he apoke, for he wa* a most active and
gallant participant in that camfsiign.
The association appointed a commit
tee to visit Waahington, and pre#
upon Congress their claim to be
placed upon the Pension bill, justly
believing, that they are as much en
titled to this recognition of the
government an those who nerved in
other want.
Tm annual report of the bureau of
statistics of labor of Massachusetts, is
published. Amongst the many sub
jects discussed, the following facts in
relation to liquor statistics are given.
Under the prohibitory legislation of
1874, there were 28,944 arrest* for
drunkenness, 23,981 convictions for
drunkness, and 3,644 judgments on
complaints for illegal sales in the Btate.
Under the license law of 1877, there
were only 20,657 arrests for drunken
ness, 17,862 convictions, and 1,693
judgments for illegal sales. These
statistics do not present a hopeful view
of the radimi legislature on the sub
ject of temperance —or perhaps, that
the efforts made to obtain refoim are
not as well directed as the might be,

The Forty •Sixth Congress.
The probability of an extra session
of Congress recalls the speculation
and conjecture that has IXH-II rife upon
every hand, as to the numerical
strength of the different jxditical par
ties in the next House. Before the 1
people had rightly gathered themselves j
up after the shock of the November
battle, there was rather a confused
idea abroad that there were enough,
of what were by courtesy called
Greenback members, elected to hold j
the balunce of power, and, through a
combination with the Republicans,
coutrol the organization of the House.
As soon as this rather hasty conclusion
had been arrived at, the chiefs of the
new purty swooped down upon the
capital of the nation to look uj>on
their possessions. Do Matyr hur
riedly cut short the doxology and
without tarrying long enough to an
nounce the usual weekly prayer meet
ing hied himself to the seat of gov
ernment, the world, the flesh and the
devil. Forgetting the circumscribed
limits of his Indiana pulpit, his en
raptured gaze fastened itself upon the
luxurious chair dedicated for ull time
to the comfort and convenience of the
Speaker of the Representative branch ,
of the American I-cgisluture. De
wees and Crandull, modest and uu
unas.suming gentlemen as they an-,
quietly took possession of all the ap
proaches that led to the marble pal- 1
ace on the hill, which was to be
their future resting place. A'arv was
on hand because it was lively an op
portunity would present itself for
somebody to make a speech. Yocuui
aired himself on Pennsylvania Avenue,
and passed as "the man that beat
Curtin." Altogether things wore a
rtweal hue, and the future, from a
Greenback standpoint, wat reSfiTenditft *"
with the promise of official favor and
rich in tempting emoluments. Just
at this juncture, however, some fellow
of a practical turn of mind suggested
the propriety of inspecting the roll of
returned members and ascertaining ex
actly how many representatives of no
body they had to go and come on.
Imagine their dismay when it became
evident that the Democrats had a clear
majority over both Republicans and
Nationals. Home figures will lie, hut
these wouldn't, and these anxious
statesmen awoke to the fact that they
had come within a stone's throw of im
proving upon the handiwork of na
ture when she made fools of them.
There is not a man in the country who
can count his fingers and toes who
does not know that there is a decided
democratic majority in the lower
branch of the Forty-sixth Congress.
And yet respectable newspa|N-rs do
not find it out of their way to occa
sionally assure their readers that the
political complexion of the next
House is in doubt; that there is a talk
of a fusion Is-twccn the Republicans
and Nationals to elect the H|ieakcr,
and that William I). Kelley is spoken
of as the coming man, and more of I
the same nonsense. The s|x>ctar|e of
James A. Garfield, the embodiment of
the Hhermau idea of finance in the
House, rising in his place to vote for
the veneral member of the 4th Penn
sylvania district for Hpenker, would
lie one the country would never for
get. Visions of the Banking and Cur
rency Committees and that of Ways j
and Means in the hands of Mr. Kel- j
I ley's friends, would prove too much
| even for Garfield, and he would be re
luctantly compelled to fall back on the
Rebel Brigadiers and beseech them to
protect the Treasury. It may as well
be understood first as last, that tho
Democrats will charge themselves with
the delicate duty of electing the
Hpcaker, notwithstanding the evident
willingness of their opponent* to do it
for tksm. Never before has their ex
isted so many potential reasons for
harmony of thought and unity of ae
lion among the leaders of the Demo
cratic party as confronts them now.

mukc war with one another. The dis-
cord of contending factions ami tin
struggles of individual ambition must
be unheard as the iuqierious necessity
of the hour asserts itself. The pres
ent House has beeu fettered to a very
great extent in its efforts to cut down
the enormous expenses of the various
departments, by the devotion of a Re
publican Henato to the old-time pro
digality which is a part of the policy
of that party. With the Senate ami

A DEAD JAW K PBOUAUI.K IS CON
till EMS. —Senator Beck made a strong
effort on Monday to get Ibe S'liatc to
put back the army bill, which the
committee struck out, prohibiting
military interference at the polls.
Every Democrat voted with him, but
the Republicans voted solidly against
him, uml hi* proposition failed bv oue
vole. The nugget of the clause is OH
follows: "No military or naval offi
cers, or other person, engaged iu the
civil, military or naval service of the
United States shall order, firing, keep,
or have under his authority or control
any troojw or armed men at the place
where any general or special election
is held in auv Suite, unless it be ne
cessary to rejiel the armed enemies of
the United Slates." Senator Beck
says the House Democrats will insist
u|N>n the retention iu the bill of this
clause, and u deadlock is ]M*<*iblc
over it.
GREENBACK NATIONALS IN COUN
CIL —A meeting of the Greenbackcrs
elected to the next Cougress and other
gentlemen connected with the Green
lack or National partv, was held in
"Washington ihis w4l ' 'riie iTiijixt of
the meeting, no doubt, was to ascertain
their power, by fusion or otherwise, to
control the organization of the House.
The secretary of the " Honest Money
League " has c hallenged Mr. Dewees,
the head of the Greenback National
Committee, or any gcutleroan he may
name, to a public discussion of the fi
nancial question. Whether the chal

Till: pRNStOM OFFICE. —The Sec
retary of the Interior in a letter ad
dressed to the Speaker of the House,
urging attention to some recommenda
tions of the Commissioner of Pensions
to facilitate the transaetion of businere
in that office, says, " that since the
|ouwage of the late act, the calls on
account of pension* h tve IK-CII more
thnn ten times as numerous a* for a
year previous, and averages not lea*
than I4G per day, coming from all
parts of the country. The same ten
dency Is also evidenced by the great
number of rejected claims, (mur* than
2,000) which have been railed up for
examination, since the 24th of Jauu
ary."
THE Connecticut legislature pro
poses to he somewhat severe ou tramps.
A bill is now under consideration,
which provides one, two and five years
in the States prison as punishment for
males over sixteen years of age fonnd
roaming and heggiug, entering a
dwelling or building a fire on the high
way, or carrying weapons. It also
offers five dollars a head for making
arrests. If this bill becomes a law,
Connecticut will not be a healthy lo
cation for this branch of industry aud
enterprise.

THK WHITK HOUSE. —Over two
thousand invitations for a reception at
the White Hons*! on Tuesday last,
were sent out by the President ami
Mrs. Hayes. The recipients of these
favors were the Justices of the Supreme
Court, Army ami Navy officers, Sena
tors and Representatives, Diplomatic
corps, and other notables. Contrary
to the usual custom of things, a sup
per was spread in the dining room,
supplied with the delieacies of the
season and a plentiful supply of trims,
which arc not now among the luxuries
inhibited at the Presidential boards.
A BIM. is in the hands of the judiciary
committee general of the State Henato,
having been recommitted on third read
ing last week, which provides for the
rc|nal of the law of last session in re
gard to requsitionii. The existing law,
which was brought forward by Senator
Grady, provides for the return of fugi
tives from justice from other States up
on requisition, without other formality
than the establishing of their identity,
but it i objected to because it puts so
many obstacle* in the way of such iden
tification that it lias proved, in many
instances, tnore favorable to the crimi
nal* than to the public. There is, how
ever, a pressure in behalf of the repeal
bill from a most suspicious quarter, and
it has become very plain to those about
liarrisburg who keep an eye open that
it is designed largely in the interest* of
Senator John .f. Patterson, lately of
South (arolina. but who desire* to set
tle down in Pennsylvania when his
term in the Senate expires, as it will on
March 4. Naturally lie ex|K?cU to be
pursued by the authorities of South
Carolina, and naturally he is very an
xiout that the great State of Pennsyl

about him from the horrors of a South
ern Mr. Patterson's
brother, late Su|>erintcndenl of Public
Ground* at llarruburg, it openly lob
bying for the re|>eal bill, and he isn't
any too particular in explaining his
reasons for doing so. Perhaf* the legit
lators may reflect that this State has no
especial desire,to make itself an asylum
for the criminals of the country—par
ticularly as it generally raises enough
right at house to supply Use demand,
and what is needed is not facilities for
the escape of a particular offender who
cannot slip through the existing law as
easily a* some less well known. The
Legislature might profitably employ it
self in stopping up the holes in the law
as it now stands. For the real Massa
chusetts offer* protective advantages to
Patterson, and be will find other emi
nent South Carolinians there.—/'AtWW
