WAsnixarox, December 9O.-The Presidents
message and General Grants report on the
condition Of affairs In the South are having
very marked effect In both Houses, though the
radicals see nothing In II TO change their
views.
Carl Schurz's report, sent yesterday to the
Senate, is quite minute, and takes pretty
strong ground against trusting the affected
LOYALTY of the Southern people. He differs
from General Grant in his rose-coloresl report,
and is not 80 much in favor Of immediate re-.
storation as General Howard.
The Clerk Of the House Of Representatives
has received certificates Of election OF south
ern members only from North Carolina, :
Louisiana, 4; Mississippi. 2; Tennessee, !:
Virginia, s, and Arkansas, l. Some Of these
have been referred TO the select committee.
The committee Of elections will not attempt
to decide upon Mr.. Harris's or any other case
until after the holidays. The opinion of good
lawyers in the House is, that the President =
reprieve left Senator Harris criminal In the
eye of the law: therefore he has no legal claim
to his seat. sf'-.e
The Committee OH Appropriations had an
other protracted session TO- dayton the naval ap-
preparation bill, and cut down estimates one
half. The same course will be pursued with
| army appropriations.
The House Committee on Naval Affairs have
considered the question for removing the Ma
val Academy from Annapolis. Several places
have been suggested, but nothing decided on
Ia tn6
Senate which looks like an increase in the tariff
I, upon articles manufactured in this country

The House has agreed to give to the Score
tary of the Treasury the power of appointing

The State Department has received informa
/ ton that forty-one chronometers were found
| on board the Shenandoah.

what occurred In the chamber yesterday, in
an attempt to white wash the unhappy con-
ditisn of the rebel States, he felt that he ought
to speak of nothing else here to-day. He read
= number of letters from the South, private
and public, to show that the spirit of rebellion
still existed.
Mr.. Salisbury said that from indications
there was to Be split in the Republican

Cold Weather aud Crime.

Cold weather always brings an increase Of crime
IN this city particularly robbsres thefs and tur-
glsrie, A. the pres.n, time the police reports in
dictate an unusual prevalence OF these offences.
People arc unceremonlously relieved OF money and
watches dwellings and stores arc entered Tor
p'under, and despite the eHertisns Of our sfAcen,
officers Of The Law, the evil steadily increases. The
ereess Of crime in tho Winter season, however,
may be pl.usby accounted for In the hrst
place, professional criminals have to make
Winter preparations In the way Of heavy
clothing and other articles that are not
required IN The Summer season. The
result OF this demand is seen in the numerous rob-
berios Of clothing that are now being perp.Tssed
Another and more general cause, 10 the difficulty
Of obtaining employment during the Winter.
There arc many pssons who are 10, scrupulous
abou, sppropri>iing tie properly Of others who
At tho ssmo time have not reached the depth Of
professional crime Such persons, with remuner-
stvs employment might not be tempted TO do
wrong bu, when cui or from The resources Of
industry, they are strongly inclined 70 make re-
sources Of their own. but Whatever the cause
may 10, IL Is certain that crime Is increasing In
this city. and u therefore behoovss the public, a.
well as the police 70 keep sharp lookout.
