Washington, D. C., Dec. G, 78.
Congress started ofTiu its new ses
ion as regularly as though it had been
'i recess but a day. In the Senate
Ir. Blaiuc introduced the resolution
a men everybody expected to lollow
she Frepiilcnt'a message, calling for an
inquiry into the method by which the
Republican majority in the South was
subverted in the Congressional elec
lions. Th inquiry will be made by a
ppecial committee, as Mr. Blaine mod
estly proposed, and he cau be its chair
man if he likes. This was settled by
the Republican caucus, which also ap
pointed Senator Blaine chairman of
the caucus committee to shape the
course of the party during the session,
which indicates tltnt the Republicans
are pretty, well convinced that thty
must present a solid front to the South
em Democrats, who promise trouble
unless they are forced t' decency by
the public sentiment , of the Solid
Nerth.
In the House, Mr. Fernando Wood
ed off with tho usual Democratic blun
der of precipitating discussion upon a
subject which will only result in open
ing very bad Democratic sores. He
pitched into tho President for daring
i speak even mildly of the Democrat
. crime iu South Carolina and Louis
'5 a, but Garfield and Hale answered
i handsomely, and tho Southern
mocrats do not thank him for pro
king the exposure of their infamy as
did. The House as well as the
sate will have to investigate this
ject, and between that and tho ci
icr, dispatches tho poor Democrats
11 have very little rest.
The second day in both Houses had
s politics and mor business in its
ceedings. Senator Matthews made
3 first st speech of the session upon
j first bill that come up, that pro
sing for aid to the Texas & Pacific
R., whose provisions I believe I
sve heretofore explained. Mr. Mat
cws argued for it as a measure of
a tree to a section of country which
1 no trans-continental communica
,), aa desirable to open up trade with
sxico and other foreign States, as
ring the advantages of competition
our eastern merchants who are op
cased by the present monopoly, and
a national enterprise calculated to
nomize the public business. The
I will be voted on at an early day,
bably, and its friends are sanguine
access.'
'adian'Commissiouers Barstow and
28ley yesterday argued before the
gressional Commission against the
,,5fer of the Indian Bureau to the
r Department. Nevertheless the
Is of the transfer are confident
, the Bcheme will succeed. It will
hot fight, but in the hope that the
"e will be an economical one
refsa may be induced to adopt it.
'me probably over-officiou3 friends
neral Grant are said to be pre
Z for his reception in Boston, and
?iere east, on his return from Eu
which they . promise in a few
. Our information here is that
;;! not return for many months
Whether the Eastern men have
ved special news as to his move
's I do not know, but this looks
movement of some persons who
to advertise themselves rather
honor General Grant.
:8 Potter "fraud" Committee is in

f course brought face to face with
pher despatches. What can it
A them? It will be remera

Democratic where it look
jblican corruption, and now
iciiily pitiable, the plight of the
ocrata, whose hunt for fraud in
rrtS'jdentfal election is to bring up
ist tnem the foul acts of their own
srs. They dare not go ahoad

The loaders of the National Green
back party are the most hopeful lot of
chaps in existence. They have issued
an address to thcpeoplo of the United
States iu which they refet .o the mag
nificent growth of their organization.
Tl . 1 . nr-n . i 1 I
x ney ray mni in iat u tney polled onijMjijrRinst Wihnor S.ewnrd Wood, owner or
82,G40 votes for Peter Cooper, while
in 1878 they increased that vote to tho
magnificent proportions of 1,200,000.
From this they argue that by 1880
they will have grown sufficiently to
elect a President of the United States,
secure a majority in Congress and in
nearly all the state legislatures, which
will bring forth a fine crop of United
States Senators, etc. The nddicss
warns the people ngaiust the money
power, and bees them to save thera-
selves by joining tho jNaUonal-Urecn-fr,,,!
back party, which is the only ark of
safety. The address is signed by Pe
ter Cooper, T. II. Mursh, C. De La
Matyr, Moses Field, Sam Cary, and
about twenty others. We miss the
euphonious name of Benjamin BiUlaiyXp
whose name should be appended to the
address to give it "tone."
