THIRTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
.AsHINGroN. April

WASHINGTON, April g.
HousE-Mr. Loveioy of ILL.,, made an un-
successful effort to introduce resolution
calling on the secretary Of War. to inform
the House how many army officers are alb
sent from their duties. and at the seat Of
government, and how many hold civil Of
fees or otherwise.
Mr.. Branch. Of N. c., spoke with refer
ence to the reconciliation Of the vote by
which the deficiency bill was rejected, he
hesitated not to declare that the monstr Gus
expenditures of the army. have reached a
point to induce the entire country to rise
and demand q reform, and pointed out .
way by which it could be effected, he be-
lieved as heretofore declared bv House in
the form Of resolution, that Utah was in
a state of rebellion. 1t is too late and unjust
to undertake to control the discretion OF
the President as to the disposal of troops
Mr.. J. $. Jones. in reply said the Quarter
Master general did not send the estimates
on his own responsibility, but they were
received with the endorsement of the Secre.
tary of War. Mr. Branch was satisfied and
was glad to find that no outrage on proper
ty had been permitted by Beauro officers.
The rate by which the bill was rejected,
was reconsidered the House then refused
to recommit the bill to the committee on

CHARTER AMENDMENrs.-Never, in
all past history of Legislation. has the world
witnessed such conglomeration of absur-
dity. illegality and confusion of provisions,
as are to be found in the little bantling of
Jim Thorington's Matching yclept amend
ments Of the City Charter
Speak to any of the getters up of that dis
graceful thing, about its imperfections, and
shame will mantle his cheeks, if he is capa-
bic Of feeling that emotion. 1t conflicts
with the constitution Of. the State. It's prcvis-
ions are in conflict with each other. 1t cor-
flcts with the English Grammar 1t vio-
lates vested rights. 1t arbitrarily provides
that every voter, not a resident of the ward
in which he lives, thirty days previous to
the election, is disfranchized 1t compels
native born and foreign born citizens to
produce writings of their qualifications as
voters. 1t makes Councilmen Er rodfcio Jus
tices Of the Peace-thus combining legislative
and judicial powers. 1t provides that the
Mayor shall appoint all non elective officers,
and that such officers shall hold Office for life.
unless removed by the Mayor. 1t increases
the taxation for city expenses fifty per cent
above present rates. 1t takes from the
people the right to make out the bounda-
ries of wards. 1t provides that officers
shall be elected under it before it becomes
q law by the vote of the people. 1t pro.
vides that it shall be q law after its pub
lication, and in another section provides if
q majority of votes are against it, the old
charter shall be in force. 1t is mystery to
its friends, q stencil in the nostrils of all
true Democrats, . bundle of inconsistencies
irreconceivable with law, the constitution.
vested rights, the free exercise of the cleo
tive franchise, and is generally looked upon
as the worst instrument that could have
been devised, for running the city, and Gre
ating proaigacy Of expenditure, and official
disorder
No Democrat can vote for it without
stultifying his sacred principles. and no
honest voter will vote for it in any event.
No Republican who is not wholly degene-
rated, will vote for it, for it will become .
two-edged sword, if it is adopted, and win
reward its friends as well ss it enemies.
Let every citizen rally and vote against
this Egyptian curse, and save the city from
the disorder that will ensue in the event
of its adoption. You have . solemn duty
to perform-highsr than party, above the
interest of factions, but . duty to the best
interests of the whole city.
