Some persons, disguised at the condition Of
public affairs, argue that it is useless to make
opposition to the present purposes of the Rad
ical leaders-for, what they determine on, that
they will effect ''per fas ct nefas." This is not
the right way to think or to talk. Though
argument may not check wrong doing now
though reason may not be listened to now
though constitutional opposition may not avail
now-theyia all make an impression which will
be seen hereafter. They are good seed sown,
which, by and bye, will grow up 10 the public
mind, and yield plentiful! harvest. Time and
patience will work great changes. It is i'm
possible that the present condition Of things
can continue great deal longer. The Vetoes
Of the President, powerless to-day, will be
read and quoted, in few years, as enunciations
of sound political doctrines, worthy Of all &C,

1t is observed that since the Impeachment
trial the 'recusant" Senators have, we believe
on every occasion where there was party vote
to be given, voted squarely up with the Radi-
cal party. They are showing that they have
not left the party. But, it is also, said they
remember bitterly, the denuncation and abuse
they have received from certain Of the leaders
and presses--and whenever they can get a
chance will show the remembrance. That is
they will 'shit back" whenever they can do
so,-with impunity

Congress-.

In the Senate, yesterday, the Legisla tive,
Executive and Judicial Appropriation bill was
again under discussion. An amendment was
adopted providing that hereafter no statuary,
paintings or other works of art, the property
of private individuals, shall be allowed to be
placed on exhibition in the Rotunda or any
otherportiou of the Capitol building. An amend
meDt abolishing the Bureau of Statistics in
the Treasury Department, and directing that
the duties Of that Office shall be performed by
the Special Commissioner of Internal Rev
enue, and the Secretary of the Treasury shall
detail clerk to act as deputy to said Commits
sioner, was adopted. During debate on a pro-
position to increase the salaries of the Register
of the Treasury, Commissioner of the Customs,
Auditors of the Treasury, and other officers, it
was stated that some of these officers would re-
sign If they did not obtain the desired increase.
Despite the objection, the amendment prevail
ed, and the bill was passed. Mr.. Chandler
gave notice that he intended to introduce a
bill to reduce the salary of members Of Con-
gress from S., 900 to $1,000 per annum. Alter
a short EArvuave session, the Senate ad-
jourDed.
The House of Representatives finished the
consideration OF Cne Lax OH, anu IL NOW SOeS
to the Senate. An amendment was adopted
providing that from and after the passage of
the bill the duty 90 all cigars imported into
the United States from foreign countries shall
be So so per pound and twenty five cts ad Va
loren. There was quite a spirited debate on
the section relating to banks and bankers, and
the section was ordered to be stricken out.
When the Committee, however, reported the
bill to the House separate vote was had upon
this section, the House refused to strike it out,
and the section, therefore, remains as original
ly reported by the Committee of Ways and
Means. The Committee on Banking and cur.
rency reported bill in relation to Natiooal
banks in liquidation 1t provides that the
Comptroller of the Currency shall make pub
lication OF statementot the assets and iabili
ties of National banks on the first Mondays re-
spectively of January, April, July and Octo-
Der, in a newspaper published in the cities Of
Washington and New York. The bill was pass
ed. The Arkansas Representatives took an
active part In the legislation of the day, and in
troduced several bills.
