Special to tlio RcrunLiCAX.
" Washington, D. C, Mar. 9, 78
It is felt, I will not say universally,
but by a lnrgo minority hero, who have
diagnosed the complication of ailments
now nfflictiug our languishing business
interests, that Wood and his commit
tee of tariff adjusters are doing more
to perpetuate the existing commercial
prostration than arc all other causes
now acting iu that direction. The
steady decline of gold sinco the pass
age of the silver bill over the Presi
dential veto seems to have discredited
tho predictions of disaster indulged in
by the advocates of the exclusive, gold
standard. Synonomotisly with this do
clino there has been noted a growing
firmness iu about everycluss of Gov
ernment securities; and the feeling is
general that if the mischievous tenden
cies of t he inflationists on the one hand
and of the anti-tariff maniacs on the.
other, could be restrained, we might
confidently count on a gradual recu
peration from this time forvrard. But
Wood, shuttijg his eyes to the evil
consequences already so palpable that
tho wayfaring man, even, is at no loss
to interpret their ominous purport
appears determined lo abuse the power
that has accidentally fallen to him, as
to cripple every interest within his
reach. As compared with February
1877, the decreaso for last month in
custom dues amounted to $788,622 ;
internal revenue taxes $1,174,847.
Total decrease in tho revenues for the
first eight mouths of the present fiscal
year as compared with same period
last year, foots up to S5.074.3C5. Only
.19 out of the 52 pages oi Wood's bill
have been completed during the six
months' session. There is hope, how
ever, that on the first day it is present-'
e'l to theJIouse, a motion to strike out
the enacting clause may be adopted,
thus defeating the bin and properly
rebuking the mismanagement respon
sible for such lo3S?s.
The report of the Senate Judiciary
Committee seems conclusive as to the
right of Congress to force the Pacific
ilailroad 'Companies to live up to their
contracts, and to enact such legislation
as appears needful to enforce the rights
of the public in the premises. The re
port substantially Bays that while (lis
claiming on tho part of Congress any
sight to destroy at pleasure the vested
;5hts of property, the right to "alter.
need or repeal" the charter of the
acific Railroads was reserved and is
ndoubted ; that even had it not been
ecially reserved, tho prohibition
and in the Federal Constitution
ainst the right of any State to im
;r tho terms of a contract would give
"irress the ritrht to interfere; and
illy that iu the absence of any post
e stipulation, the fundamental prin
lo that no Congress has the riht to
lit the Constitutional powers of any
sequent Congress, would confer the
'.t on Congress to adopt such legis

iiia Folk investigation siill drags its
.rmiuable length through the weary
is uud weeks of Congressional sit
'.i:gs. The general purport of all the
limouy has been so conclusive as to
iuilty complicity or knowledge of

A start has been made on the ap
propriation bills. On Tuesday the
fortification bill passed the House, and
ft deficiency bill came up for conside
ration. A good many of tho "erring broth
ers' iu Congress who represent tho
timber stealers, seem disposed to for
get past favors because tho President
saw fit to veto a bill designed, no one
can doubt, to secure the acquittal of
this class of publio plunderers. But
what Mr. Hayes has lost with that
class of bis whilom admirers, he has
gained with those who believo in the
punishment of thieve, great and small,
whether tho offense is against the Gov
ernment or individuals.
The postal -savings bank bill will
soon como up for disposition and will
find many friends in both Houses, it is
believed.
Tha refusal of Cox to sanction the
suppression of that portion of his re
marks of the other clay, in which he
characterized tho President as "a
fraud," has secured for him the con
tempt of many of his associates. After
benefiting by the kindly interference
of Speaker Randall to extricate him
from a very unpleasant predicament.

committed himself. But llandall has
earned something by his experience.
All officers, enlisted and drafted
men t' tlio army or navy, who served

engagement of that war, are entitled

That old, and at all times Bepub
ican paper, tho Philadelphia North
American, has been looking ever the
political field iu this State, and its con
clusions are given in the following
short article :
"The Republican prospects in Penn
sylvania for the State election in No
vember next are beginning to look
promising in view of tho uprising all
over the Commonwealth 'against the
monstrosities of Fernando Wood's tar
iff bill. So good an issue for the Re-
1.1! 1. . a t nr n
puuncans uas not neen ouercu lor a
long time, and unleis the bill be aban
doned by the Democrats in Congress,
which seems now improbable, there
will be an old-fashioned Republican
storm in j.oveniuer. iha reaction in
Philadelphia is general and pro
nounced, and will tell with effect when
the time comes. Success has exercised
its usual influence upon the Democrats
iu developing all the worst tendencies
of their party. The issues nbout the
national Administration and its policy
aro beginning to sink away, and the
necessity of Pennsylvania stauding by
ner own principles auct interests 13
everywhere appreciated. The Demo
cratic hopes rest on their ability to
galvanize into the semblance of life
the somewhat putrescent remains o
the Labor Reform party ; but as i
means of aiding a free-trade tariff this
concern will become odious to the
workingmen, and sink out of sight bo
fore the revived vigor of the great in
dustrial issue."

forgotten letter ho wrote to tho Presi

pointment to a Special Agency of Geo.

Terms of Peace.
An outline of the preliminary treaty
of peace between Russia and Turkey
is published. It. leaves too many and
too vital questions open for settlement
by the Congress of Powers to permit
of its being accepted as furnishing pos
itive assurance of the peace of Europe
It exacts an enormous wat indemnity
equivalent to about 81,100,000,000 in
American money, but territorial ces
sions are to be accepted for the greater
portion of it. This will take an enor
mom slice out of Armenia. It is not
agreed that the Turkish fleet or tho
Bulgarian or Egyptian tributes shol
or shall not bo pledged to Russia. The
whole effect is simply to transfer tho
question of war or peace for England
Austria or Russia from the present ne
gotiators to those who arc soon to meet
at Berlin. The Congress then and
there to assemble will be as roomen
tous as the similar one which estab
lished the European "balance of pow
