more activity than was expected.
The market presents but little activity,
the business Of the week closing quietly in

surplus capital has somewhat increased, aud
called loans are obtained on acceptable Sc
curities at 6a7 per cent chiefly at the lower

The Contested Seats.
From the Tribune.

From the Tribune.
The present Congress was compelled to act
on several cases of contested seats. The Re
publican majority being nearly three to one,
while party feeling ran very high, there was
great danger that politics would exert an in.
fluence over their decisions. So far, however,
1t would seem that the people, on appeal,
have sustained the action of the majority.
In the Sixteenth District of Pennsylvania,
A. II. Cotfroth (Dem.) was returned to the
present House, and held the seat several
months. The House, on contest, gave 1t to
General William II, Koontz (Rep.). The people
have just reelected General Kooutz by tar
larger majority than he claims to have re-
ceived in 1864.
In the Twenty-frst District, Geperal Daw-
son (Dem.) was returned by l25 majority.
Smith Fuller (Rep.) contested. The House
confirmed General Dawson in the seat
John Oovode (Rep.) now carries that
district by $50 majority. From the Seventh
District of Indiana, Daniel W. Voorhees, (Dem. J
was returned by 584 majority. General Henry
d. Washburne (Rep.) contested claiming that
heavy fraudulent vote had been polled tor
Voorhees,. The House fnaly decided that it
was so, and gave the seat to General Wash
burne. He has just carried ghe district for the
Fortieth COngr ess by 600 majority.

for us, and it calls for somo action TO place our
| credit on proper footing The credit OF an in
dividual is measured bY his ability 10 pay, al
ways suppoong he is honest and willing to pay.
IL should be the same with nations. Taking itfor
granted that no one has any doubt of this great
republic keeping its faith with the national
creditors the only question that would be raised
TO keep our stocks deprecated is as to onr
means of paying. Well, the exhibit we have
made and are making OF our wonderful resources
Is sufficient answer TO that While the richest
nations of Europe have great difficulty in
making both ends meet, and have nearly reached
the unit OF their productive power we, with
oebt as large as the largest, reckoning by the
interest it bears have an immense surplus reve-
nue., ana are able to pay off the principal OF our
debt at the rate oil nearly hundred and nifty
millions a year.
This Is our present condition.; but when we
look at the mCalculable resources OF this vast
continent, at the surprising productive power OF
thirty five millions OF active and enlightened
treemen, and at the increase of population,
which doubles in twenty-five years-when we
look at these facts, unparalleled in the history
of nations, who can doubt our ability to pay
not only the interest, but the principal OF the
debt also within few years In fact, debt
that would weigh down any other country is
comparatively a trife to us.
We call upon the Administration and Con-
gress, then, to heal up our political troubles at
once, and turn their attention to this, TIM
portant matter. Let our finances and financial
system be placed upon such basis as to make
our credit stand as high or higher than that of
any nation; for that is where it ought to be.
Let the debt be consolidated and simplifed in
one form, and a sinking fund established at
the same time, with the fixed object of eX-
tinguishng the whole within reasonable time.
Let Notwithstanding legal tenders be sub
stituted for the national bank notes, and the
interest-bearng bonds, upon which these notes
are based, be cancelled to the same amonnt.
The interest which the Government would thus
save-say some twenty millions year-might
be made the sinking fund, or part OF it. By
gki1IfuI statpsmonlikp manQUpmpnt in making
these changes, a considerable portion of the
debt might be swept away in the process.
Nothing would bring us sooner to specie pay
ments, and it would effectualy destroy the
moneyed oligarchy which is fastening itself
upon the country and the labor of the poor.
Assuming that our political difficulties will be
settled, this remains the paramount subject tor
our statesmen and the Government to take up.
What statesman will immortalize himself
what party VIII establish itself-by solving this
the greatest of all our domestic questions?
