There was some reason to expect
that, - admonished by thel severe re
-buke Administered by 'the people in
November; the Democratic majority
in the House would settle down to
`the legitimate. - work of the session.
Certain measures were demanded of
this.Congres. First—provision for
r( funding the debt which l is about to
mature in bonds at a' lower rate of
interest ;,a l nd second—provision for
defraying the cost of carrying on
public business. The necessity of
providing for the redemption of the
matiiring debt-,-some five or six bun
:
red millionwAs recognized by all
r men of business. The means for re
deeming this large volume of, bonds
can only be "secured by bo . rrowirig.

peets to be preferre.l, owing to-the
superiority•of its securities, and it is

it course, very important-to
maintain national . credit at the point
to whieh it has been raised. l3ut un 7
Ices we fu:fill our contracts with
creditors that will be impOsiible. ,In
framing a refunding bill the. chie'f
concern should have—been to make.
the loan r a complete success, and to
place it at the lowest rate of use in
the nature of things pogsible. Mr.
- Wooic framed a refunding sill arbi
-trary in terms, and giving no discre
tionary power to the Secretary of
the - Treasury. There are : grave doubts.
of the practicability of placing - a
loan .of $390,0(.)0,000 at 3 per cent,
I, unless the term -shall be at least
'twenty years: Some paqof the loan
could no doubt be egoti4,ed at 3
per cent with 'Shorter terin..tci run.
The probability of placing such a
loan at a low irate just now-is-so un
certain that to fix that rate arbitrari
ly will necessarily he an experiment.
Wor-,e, it would he a doubtful experi
ment.
• And if the Secietary shouh
bd'unable to• borrow at that rate an
amount sufficient to redeem the 5
and (l per cents as they mature, the
governfnent will be in default; and
like all defaulters - must pay the-pen
alty in an impaired credit.
Now it seems to us very plain that
in order to remove the effort to bor
, row beyond the realm . - of doubtful
experiment we must give the Secre
tary crtain discretionary power.. It;
il la
would 'e proper. to flea maximum
limit o rate anti leave him to nego
tiate anywhere below that rate.' He
may be trusted to borrow at the low=
est rate - possible, -.7, , because he
is directly responsible to the pea.-
plc, and borrowing at favorable
rates =is always a titredit to a
financial' - agent.'

and afford relief. • -
Beyond. this; the provision of the
Woob bill . which rewires national
banks to deposit '3 per Cents to secure
circulation, must work to contract
the currency. The tanks tantiot,

even the withdraw - al Of one 'hundred
millions from the volute would not
precipitate a crisis.!' ,But Congress
hasishown a disposition to tamper

enjoy. What we knew of the Demo

11Anntsztin6, Jati. 8, 1881.—The first
week of the legislative session of IkiBl has
passed into history, and thi last hours of
the old year, as well as the first of the
new one, will : long be remem red by all
who had an oppbrtunitito p rticipate in'
the scenes enacted here;since the crowd
commenced gatheringi, - on Wednesday
the 29th ult: (if c;ourse the election of a
United States Senator Ito succeed Mr:
Wallace, which will '
take place on Tues
day the 18th inst., kali overshadowed eve
rything else, atTd — will continue to do so
until a choice is Made. • It is- oneof the
impossibilities to give a full and correct.
account, of all that has been - going on
here for the ;past tep days in the space
usually alloied to a newspaper letter,
but I will- endeavor to jot down such
items of information as will enable the
several •
thousand intelligent readers_ of
the Reroirrett to form some idea of whit
has been transpiring during the tipe indi:
cated at the State Capital; and to this end
will commence - with the , Republican i cau
cusses which ,, , l met on Monday evening.
:The centre of great - interest
, ; was the
caucus of Republican members- of the
1 House to4aominate candidates for speak
er and other officers. 134.. Ileivitt, of
Blair county, had been' adopted by the
friends of all 'candidates for Senator r• a
candidate for speaker, Messrs. Wolfe' and
Ma i pes, the especial champions of Mr.
"Grow, being very enthusiastic iZu his sup- :
port ; while he-was equally aceeptlble to
Col. Quay, Chris Magee and other geptle-
.meri knOWn as machine er :ring manat:ers,
who aro energetically opposing therSus
quehanna county statesman. Eari on '
Monday morning some ill-advired,imis
taken friends of Mr. Grow had the hOteis t.
lamp-posts . and other public placer fad
carded with a huge poster calling r pre
liminary caucus of " the field against Mr.
Oliver," to meet it the U. S. Hotel; at..
o'clok.in the afternoon. -This was throw
ing down, the gauntlet to The' "field,"
and the men coMponing it took the thing
up. Only 42 members ireported, and thii
.
was not considered a first-class showing
for . the candidate for Senator .who had all
along been considered by far the most
formidable in,the race. His case was in
the hands of fearful bfrinderers or crimi
nally designing schemers. Well, this
preliminary conference got through in,
about an hour, -and as one of its results,
Isaac I). M'Kee; a pronounced Grow man,
Was presented at the general caucus 'in

: Mai: Jno. M. Pomeroy, of Franklin coun
ty was resentedp by the " field " -for the
Same position. On a call of the roll it
appeared 'that. Mr. M'Kee had 51. votes
_and Mr. Pomeroy bad 6:9 votes. Crimirent,
is unnecessary. ' While no one claims that
all the men who voted for Pomeroy will
vote against Grow, 'it is: now understood
by all that this call for the meeting of the
"field against Oliver 'i was a mistake. It
was a sort of betrayal of fear of the
strength of the latest candidate brought
.out, and certainly weakened the •chances
of the inau who had developed the strong
est support and was regarded by many as
the favorite of the ilionest masses of the
Republican party. After Mr. Pomeroy
had been chosen chairman the work of
the caucus was premptly despatched, to
'the satiSfaction of the gentlemen who had
elected 'bin?. 'Mr. Hewitt was'nominated
by acclamation for speaker; and the same
kindness was extended - to Harry Huhn,
of Philadelphia, for chief clerk ; Samuel
3. Loscb, -of Schuylkill county, and Maj.
Jno. C. Paul, of Allegheny, who had been
candidates, both withdrawing. Every
thing'worked smoothly. It was a kind
of a political love-feast. The other nom
inations made for officers of the House
were hip._ D. : . Patterson, at present mayoi
of the city, Or resident clerk , and George
Pearson, of Mercer, for reading clerk. A
resolution was passed directing Chairman
Pomeroy, who had been elected by Grow's
opponents, to appoint a "slate commit
tee" of fifteen to nominate or parcel.out
the remaining officers of the House. On
this committee were Billingsley, of Wash
ton, chairman • Yarger, Mccleery . and
I
Graham, of Philadelphia; Long, of Jeffer
son; Hill, of Indiana; Colborn, of Somer.:
set ; Snader; of Lancaster ;.. Garrett, of
Delaware ; Montgomery, -- of, Mercer ;
Moyer, o Montgomery; - Myers, of Venan
go ; Mor *son, of Lawrence ; Marshall, of
Hunting on, and Myer, of Snyder county.
Not a man from any of- the counties in
Mr. Crow's section of. the State was en
trusted with thhiriving out of the numer
ous soft 'pleas inbefout the Ilona,—!and,
these Places, it is well known, have
wonderful influence in controllinglates.
After the sdicnanunent of the mama the
supporters of sOliver were ina very good ,
humor. This . much is siren on the fight
for Senatar, up to: the point indicated,
without any feeling for or against any
one, but as &Correct statement of facts,
that the reader may coinpmhend as far as
possible, the exact situation. The man
whom the people of Bradford county, in
=IMO with those of many other sections
of the State, wonld so much delight to ere
I occupy a seat in the United States Senate,
it is more than likely now will not be
elected ; -and if this shall be thereimlt,
the disaster will be justly chargeable to
thi
le stupid blundering a his, managers,
more than to any other cause. Indeed,'
there are many who freely express the
opinion that Wolfe.charopioned the cause
of_ _Grow with the deliberate intention •of
having him slaughtered, that he (Wolfe)
might be made 'Segator himself.
The Republican Senators also met in
caucus on Monday evening ant nominated
Mr. Newell, Of Philadelphia, for president

for chief clerk Samuel E. Negle, of
Montgoniery, for journal clerk, and Win.
