New York funds were in better supply to-day

SENATE. Jan. 24-The President sent mes
sage replying to the resolution of inquiry
whether the bill to secure equal rights i'll the
District of Columbia had become a law. Mr..
Edmunds said that it was manifest that the
Presidents construction was entirely wrong,
and that legislation would be very much I'M
peded if Congress acquiesced in it. 1t was not
a party question. and lie hoped they would
consider it impartially. The subject was re-
feTred 10 the Judiciary Committee.
Mr.. Ferry presented n petition IN regard 10
the rights of American citizens abroad, claim
ing that in rendering obedience TO the Govern
mcnt of the United States they were entitled
to its protection. The petition was referred to
the Committee on Foreign Affairs.
On motion of Mr.. Wilson, the Secretary OF
the Treasury was requested to inform the Sen
ate whether the number of employees in the New,
York CuStOm-llO has been increased and
nj what additional expense; also, whether bus
mess has increased there since the last session,
and whether decrease of the force there IL
not possible, without detrimcHt to the public
service
Mr.. Wilson called up the joint resolu-
ton authorizing the Commissioner OF the
Freedmen's Bureau TO distribute TO the desti-
tute people OF the South such dcsSlcatcd meats
and vegetables provided during the wal, az are
not needed for the Use OF the army. which was
passed.
At the expiration of the morning. hour the
Senate resumed the consideration OF the Sup
Elementary hcCOHSlIUCtlOu Diiii vi MHith Nii'
Morton made q speech.
An adjournment until Monday was then pro
vided for, and Mr. Sumner called up the JOINT
resolution authorizing the Secretary OF the Navy
to detail officers to represent the United States
at the forthcoming International Maritime
Exposition at Havre. Mr.. Sumner earnestly
urged the immediate passage. explaining
that the exhibition included vessels, ana
everything relating to navigation, and that every
people in Europe would be there represented
by Commissioners. Thirty-seven American ex-
hibitOIs had entered their names. and 1t was
desirable that Commissioners should represent
their interests there. 1t would involve but
trfing expense.
Mr. Sherman thought it had better 60. over
volve good deal of expense. After further
opposition by Messrs. TTumbull and CONFESS, the
death of the Hon. Elijah Ilise OF Kentucky was
announced by the Secretary Of the House, and
Mr.. Davis offered the usual resolutions, accom-
panymg them with brief speech. Ihey were
seconded by Mr.. Hendricks, who also made a
few remarks, whcreupOn they were adopted, ana
the Senate adjourned.
House., Jan. 24.-The Committee on Com
merce were asked to look into the cholera DuSl-
ness on the ship Leihnitz.
The Naval Appropriation bill created much
debate, but nothing OF consequence was done
Nearly all the session was consumed IN the
consideration of an exceptional appropriation
bill in regard to Southern property, on which
there was a wide and unnteresting debate
business was concluded with the customary
proceedings on the occasion of the announce
ment of the death of Mr.. Hisc, member from

dent, and Jefferson Davis Withdrew in high
dudgeon from the Senate. The last instance
of its abolition was ne adoption by the Re-
construction Committee of a proposed bill to
except from the appellate jurisdiction of the
Supreme Court any act or question arising out
of the Reconstruction acts. The World adopts
a somewhat singular mode Of demonstrating
the unconstitutionaty of this act by quoting
the section of the Constitution which expressly
authorizes it, as follows
"The Supreme Court shall have appellate Jurisdiction.
both law and fact, with such exceptions and under
such regulations as Congress shall make"
The argument of The World is that the Consti-
tuition, by expressly comforting on Congress the
power to except any class of cases from the juris
dction of the Supreme Court implied that they
should only except such trifing cases as The
World and the Democratic party thought
proper. An act in admitted obedience to the
EXPRESS letter of the Constitution is decided
by The World by some species of inner light,
70 be in violation of its implied intent. When
the strict constructionists have got to defend the
implied intent Of the Constitution from being
overthrow by its express language, are they
not running their hobby some distance into
the grounds

selves draw fSavy drafts on the future. They
are laying the foundations OF future prosperity.
More than half of all their efforts are, of ncces-
sitv. not for to-day. When they have the
nerve and self-denial to go through all this, 1t
is well.
Many emigrants are disappointed because
they expected too much. They seem to have
believed that orchards, and gardens, and
cultivated farms, and barns, and vines and
fig trees to "sit under" should spring up
mt an "open sesame THAT they could be
made out of nothing in the space of n
n few days, and all very good"-that
prairies have q natural predispOsition for po-
tatoos and parsnips and that broods of chick
ems and turkeys can be conjured up by hand
| full of corn.
They forget that all we prize on earth Is the
fruit of toll or sacrifce-that the very diff
Guilty of obtaining adds to the value of any
thing-that without trial comes not happiness
nor success.
While immigration has been the handspring OF
American progress, another feature, rapidly
developing in our country, is the tendency to
aggregate in large cities and towns. The inde-
pendent spirit that carried men into the coun-
try is to some extent on the wane lt may De
one of the problems of our rapidly increasing
population. An artificial life is growing more
TEMPTING. "Hot and cold water bakers bread,

auctions that go far to make up the sum total
of life, Tired before 1t is fully cOmprehcndcd.

the tendency of modern taste.
Away behind all these is the country "God
made it, The town may have its allure
ments Long valleys, with independence and
health whispering among the oaks or
pines, speak of more vigorous race.
As yet, we have scarcely a science of agr-
culture. Our agricultural periodicals are in
their green and tender leaf-flled with mere
recipes, rather than science reduced to ma
thematical exactness. Our Agricultural Colleges
are. as vet. the most complete failures of the

In spite of all, migration goes on. Year by
year beef and bread grow dearer. That which
the farm produces is constantly worth more.
In few years, the public domain will have
