THE PEZEISIOENT:A*D CONGIIIESM.
r i The -necessity for the Assembling

in the House,linfortunately, not -be
ing influenced by considerations of
regard for the public welfare, nor by
patriotic Inotikes, risiAteci that cu. - .
tain Measures of pa'rty policy shOuld
be made paramount to the public
good, and by refusing to pass bilis
'absolutely necessary for the . supPort
jof certain_ branches of
,the govern
ment; forced upon the President the
necessity fur convening the new COn-
greys.
The true reasons underlying this
extraordinary and revolutionary con
duet, have been fully diselOsed, since
the. adjournment of Congress, and
the issue between the Democratic
Congre,4 and the President has been
made ul and the people of the North
particularly should awake to the
magnitude of the contest. which has
11`)W been virtually inaugurated. It
is the avowed determination of the
Democracy th renew the struggle
which paused the failure of
,tworap
propriation bills, and to again ren
-4r the voting of the supplies neces
sary to .carry on the government sub
sidary to the revolutionary policy of
their party.
• As in all the struggles of the past,
the ,extremists in the Democratic
party have forced the more liberal to
theoipport of their ultra and revo
lutionary designs. Those who de-
Oared that an extra session would
chirange the business of the country,
fuel be a national: misfortune, were
obliged to yield to the dictation of
iti ose wh o wielded fhe party lash.
The desire to obtain poSsession of
branches of Congress, and the
intention to foi-ce legislation calcula
ted to obtain for the Democracy the
-absolute control of .the Government,
by removing all obstacles in the way
of illegal practices at the polls. and
by returning boards,larced the issues
in the late- Senate, 'which - are now to
be renewed. making the conflict he
,tweeri Congress and the President.
The progranune as now announced
is to pass bills repealing the obnox
ious laWs, and if the Presidential
veto is interposed to attach these re
pealing clauses to the appropriation
Nis.. What the restrictions are-that
the . Democracy demands shall be re
moved, has already been .shown in
- these columns. A portion perhaps
might be acceded to, with safety, but
the measure - repealing the clause of
the Federal election law, providing
for the appointment of Supervisors
and - Marshals, cannot be: grunted,
without surrendering the right 'of the
government to prevent violence and
fralid at Congressional elections by
he exercise of an effective • supervis
ion. To forego the exercise of this
• right, is to open the doors to'every
p.iiecies of violence and fraud in the
South, and not only to Virtually dis
franchise the colored voter there, but
also every man Who desires to cast a
Republican vote.
This is the , true issue now forced
upon the President. The attempt to
coerce the Senate having been par
tially successful, the struggle is now
between Congress and the President.
There is no question as to what the
action of the President will be, find
the rihportance of the contest and
the ziCcessity for. unity of purpose
and •boneert of action between -the

Repnblicans in Congress and the Ad

pect that in a very short time there
will : lie entire harmony in the Repub ,

grievances and petty dissensions
will be forgotten and 'obliterated by
the great danger that threatens the
country. President 11.trrs is • ac

cessions of'reconstrueted rebels, there
• cannot in the future be any division
of sentiment . -or action as to the
course to be pursued, in opposing
and thwarting the designs of the•

The country expects the President
.to stand firm in this emergency, to

can :. succeed , until out people have

is so well defined, and the exactions
of the Democracy so outrageous that

such disturbing and dangerous issues.
DR. JOIIN M. WOODWORTH, Super

If the Demacratic party can afford

Tut aPproximate estimate of the
is L ealth of the country as it will be in
11Q80 is $27,1 20,000,000..1 This is a
dtTrease of about .three billion dol
lo:rs from the wealth of 11870, and it
is believed to be very nearly correct.
The decrease is not actually a loss of
that arnounkof wealth. It is effected
by considering as worthless, or nehr

MARGARRT came off on Thursday
last, according to the previously ar

"the train of her Royal Highness

Tits decline in the sale of fOur per
cents, is attributedl to two causes.
the estravagant aPpropriations of
Congress, and a better. out-look for
money investments, in other chan
nels. The former furnishes food for
reflection and the latter cause for en

The re-election of the old officers
.of theilouse was a part of Ithecom

a sufficient number of votes - to give
him the caucus nomination. Symp •
tons of a revolt havemot been want;
ing but the cohesive power of public
plunder, and the strict discipline of
the deniocracy prevailed. :, •
The probable length of thescssion
•IS not easy to deternaine. The soga
cious Democratic ' leaders desire a
short session as they feel it is diffi
eult to" keep the rank and file in
bounds 'should the session be pro
longed. Everything will be made to
yield to the. intense desire for success
in 1880, and the extremists may.pos
sibly be held incheek by the hope of
acquiring control of all branches of
the Government, at the next Presi
, dential election. No doubt this feel
ing enured largely to RAND ALL'S
interest. There was, a feeling even .
with Southern men that there was
danger of 'alarming the North by a
too intense "Southern solidity," and
thus endangering the success of the
Democratic candidate for the Presi
dency.
THE deiails of the, Szegedin Xs
'aster In Hungary sadly bear out the
first announcement. It is estimated
that from ,0 3 to 4,000 'persons
Were drowned. An official statement
shows that 9,700 houses were de
stroyed, only 2GI remaining standing
in the whole city. The survivors
have suffered terribly from hunger
and cold, „and have sought refuge,
wherever they could in the surround
ing ceuntry. Many people," says
the latest dispatch, " are still on the
roofs of houses and in trees; diphthe
ria-has broken out among the fugi
tives in Szeoged ; 16,0)0 'horses and
cattle and 90,000 sheep have been
lost. The wa.frer falls very slowly;
'only receding three inches on Satur
day night. The frost is causing great
suffering.. Fearful tales arc told of
individual distress: Women on board
rescuing steamers refuse to part with
the corpses of their children. The
refugees on the enbantonerit are eat

in boats and on railway trucks."
Such a disaster appealS'to the charity

DETAILED PEGG* EDINGS IN THE 110U85.
WASIMOTOIS March lB.—The
opening of the first session - of the
Forty-sixth Congress was - wit
nessed in the-House by an immense
concourse of spectators.l.All the mem
bers-Elect . were early in attendance
and for nearly'an hour before noon
pleasant greetinlzs,wereinterchamged.
At noon the House, was callo to
order by 'Mr. Attans, the Clerk, who
read the proclamation of the Presi
dent convening Congress, and stated
that the time thus designated having
arrived be would call the roil, whieb,
as Clerk of the last House, he was
required by law to 'prepare.
He thereupon proceeded to call the
roll by States, beginialng with the
State of Maine. The State of Flori
da hiving been reached; the Clerk
called the name of - Hull as Bepresen
tative front the Second district; and
explained why he bad put on the roll
the name of Hull rather than that of
Bisbee. He said he bad received the
certificate of the election of Hull, dti-,
ly signed by the Governor, under the
seal Of the state, and that- subse
quently he had received sundry pa
pers in behalf of the election of Bis
bee, among which was a certified copy'
of the canvass subsequently made" by
the Board of Canvassers in obedience
to an order of the Supreme Court of
the State. While that - subsequent
canvass would show the`-election of
Bisbee, the Clerk did not feel at lib
erty to regard anything as a creden
tial, within the meaning of the' law,
except the certificate of the Governor.
The State of lowa having been
reached, the Clerk explained why he
had placed on the roll the names of
the nine members whose names ap
peared there. _ They had presented
certificates duly sig,ned by the Gov
, ernor, and the question whether the
election had or had not been held on
the day fixed by law was one which
the Clerk did not feel called upon.to
decide,- but which the House itself
when organized could decide.
OUR EXPORT TRADE.
From Phllwtelphla Eccord
Among the encouraging features.
of the opening' spring trade, 'one, of
the most promising is the condition
of our export trade. - For eighty-five
years the trade balance has been
steadily against ns, until it aggregat
ed more than seventeen hundred
million dollars. But during the last
three years the-aecount shows a bat
once. in our favor of $483,582;536.
About eighty per Cent. of our exports
arc raw materials, more 'than three
fourths of which are taken by Great
Britain and her dependencies; Of
this class of merchandise we ex
ported in 18713 to the British market
4 000,00 0; n n d the amount in 1878
is much larger. Taking the most
important, cotton, vve find. that about
two.thirds of the supply for Europe
comes from the United States, the.
remainder being derived from India,
Egypt and Brazil. From all the lot
ter sources the supply has been grad
nally decreasing for five years, that
from India, which exceeds in amount
the combined production of all the
others, haVing fallen of about one
third.
A noteworthy feature is the in
' crease in our export to England of
manufactured cottons. 'A large por
tion of these goods was purchased to
supply the foreign trade of England.
So far-as we have been able to gather
from English publication, this anom
Mous' condition has been brought
'about by the adulteration with earths
of English-made goods; but what
ever the cause, we have, in its result,
an opening wedge_ for the introduc
tion of greater quantities of our own,
fabrics. \The prospective demand
for this staple is such as to justify
the most hopeful views of the cotton
interest for the \ future; and to impel
us to every efforkin encouraging the
development of the cotton growing
sections of the country.
Our wheat expoaation involves
greater complications, ` fQr the reason
that. ompetitors are moretiumerous .
r\ k
and formidable. About th -fourths
of our wheat shipment are o- Eng
land, and.constitute more tha one
half of her entire wheat importation._
We are likely to meet sharper com
petion in this trade than ever before,
Elevators are in process of erection
at the Russian ports, railroad facili
ties are multiplying in the grain pro
ducing countries of- Europe, and
lines Of steamers are being establish
ed upon their, Jivers. .A new and
unexpected source of_wheat supply
in Siberia is put. in reach of Euro
pean consumers by the discovery of
a t yracticable sea route' along its
northern coast. The Pall Mall Ga
zelle says: "Siberian wheat is likely
to be a formidable competitor with
American and even Russian wheat."
The International Review, to whose
compilation from the Treasury report
we are indebted for some of our statis
tics, says: " It we Wish to maintain
our ascendency in that extensive and
only reliable European .market, we
must- take early and efficient means
to permanently cheapen the transpor
tation of Western produce to ship
board by river; canal and rail." The
subject has become a vital one to
our export trade and to national
prosperity.
The exportation is rapidly increas
ing of pork, of dairy products, can
ned goods, etc.
Of special interest to our Common
wealth is the _outside 'demand for
anthracite coal. It is gradually forc
ing its way into use for steam mak
ing, iron manufacturing and domestic
purposes. There are few or no
American stoves in use in - Europe
adapted to burning anthraCite, and if
some enterprising stove manufacturer
or coal shipper would combine the
shipment of stoves and fuel, it might
be for the advancement of both in
terests. It would seem that in the
thickly-populated countries of Europe
where fuel is dear, a good market
-must be opened for our coal
plies.,
In 1878 we exported manufactured
goods to the• amount of $136,000,000,
nearly equal to the value of the raw
cotton sent to England., - -

' Dr. E. T. Caswell, or Providence;
Rhode Island, discussed "The use of Al.
cohol From a Medical Point of View,"
before a large audience in the clinic room
of Jefferson Medscal College, on Tuesday
night. After showing how the excessive
use of alcoholic stimulanta injuriously at=
fected all the organs of the body, be said
that it was a useful and potent principle
for assisting nature. In fact be thought
it indispensable in some cases, Re re
gards the temperate use of alcohol as the
better plan, which ought to be improved
by substitution of light wines rcir brandy
and liquors. Many of the eminent medi
cal authorities of the present day agree
in these opinions. Who shall decide
when doctors disagree? That there may
be occasions when the failing powers of
the system can be rallied by the judicious
use of alcoholic stimulants is undoubtedly
the experience of every physician—but is
there nothing in the whole range of the
materia medico that will bring almot.the
same results? If alcohol is a useful prin
ciple in assisting nature, then it should
- be used medically, and under the advice
and directions of medical men. Opium
in its various forms, is equally po
tent and useful in assisting nature, yet it
cannot be used with any degree of safety.
Nitro-glycerine is a 'potent principle in
the material worl3, yet it isn't safe to` be
fooling with a cao of that destructive ex
plosive. - To talk of
_substituting - light
wines for whiskey and brandy, is non
sense. Where are the light skims to *be
bad? In wine-producing' countries light
'wines are a common beverage, becauSe
they are almost as cheap as water, but
hero they are so high-priced as to be out
of the reach of any except the wealthy.
Beer, I \ ,o some extent may take their place,
but the-popular taste seems to be for alco.
holic stimulants. The 'theory advanced,
now, that a certain amount ofaleohol taken
into the system, is strengthening, and pro.
duces beneficial results, is very pea EIiCiOSS I
and one such lecture as we have noticed,
will undo all the good of a year of tern
, potence work.
That "the times" are improvise, is
admitted on all hands. Inquiries of bus.
- Mess 'men, in various_ departments of
trade, elicits the gratifying information
that a revival orbusinesa has commenced.
Some of the Merchants and manufactur
ers say that the outlook was never more
promising. Ane feature of this improve
ment has been the falling off in the sub
scriPtions to the Gcvernment four per
cents, anditheir fall to below par (99 to
ook registered) which occurred on Wed
nesday, allowing that there are more pro
fitable uses for money, and is no doubt
directly' traceable to the spring trade
which gives promise of greater profits. .
The farmers around the city have corn

Old frahermen.predict that there. will be

old times were so productive on the upper
Susquehanna, sec the silvery glearn of a
shad scale, until the Columbia darn and
other obstructions are removed. For the
present your people must be content with
the sport of.catching black bass, and wait
for the good time coming for salmon and
