suggestion, certainly quite plausible, has been
made, that the assessors Of internal revenue,

Quaintance with most Of the topics ON which

properly be charged with the work In t9elr

OF more importance is that, whoever does IL,

The facts collected over the entire country on
a single day would be still better. Then the
work of reducing these returns and publish.
ing the results should be peremptorily limited
to a third OF the time spent on the last census.
We want the facts before they are out Of date.
- The subject is broad one, and very many
and complex considerations enter into it. We
have hinted at two or three of the most OBJ
vious, in the hope that these may serve to
impress upon the committee the gravity and
magnitude of their task, and to stimulate in
their aid the suggestions of thoughtful men
throughout the country.

The Spanish Cortes and Its Labors.

From the ". 7. Herald.
The Constituent Cortes of Spain met Thurs
day for organization, and the eyes of every
European Cabinet are anxiously watching the
result of their deliberations. The two i'm
portRnt questions to be decided are-frst,
what shall be the form of government to re-
place the banished rule of the Bourbons; and,
second, to whom shall be confided the execu-
tive power of that government. The elections
which have recently taken place in the
Spanish peninsula have resulted largely in
favor Of the candidates put forward by the
existing provisional government, and it's mem
bera will hold seats in virtue OF their election
by the capital. The choice of the presiding
officer will indicate in some degree the temper
of that body, but not the final result, as very
active diplomatic intrigues are on foot in every
circle in Madrid to influence the question of
the dynasty. Senior River0 is named in our
cable dispatches as almost certain to be the
President of the COItes.
This body comprises in reality three politi-
cal elements, neither of which holds ma
iority of the Cabinet. General Serrano repre-
sents the old liberal union party which so
long endeavored to modify by peaceful means
the policy of the ex-Queen, and carries great
weight for his announced preference for q
monarchy. General Pnm is the leader of the
Progresista party, and as commander of the
army, as well as from his strong personal
character, enjoys wide influence oen0r
Ayola, Minister of Grace and Justice, repre-
sents in the Cabinet the democratic progre-
sistas. The admitted organ Of the Provisional
Government has announced that the Cabinet
has settled upon its choice for the throne, but
the name has not been given to the public.
RumOr has stated the Government candidate
to be the Duke of Aosts, second son OF the
King OF Italy, and supposed to be the prefer
ence Of the French Emperor but from Thurs
terday's complexion of things at Madrid it
appears that a majority of the Cortes are in
tavOr OF Ferdinand, the father of the present
King OF Portugal; and next to him stands the
Duke de Montpensier. Meantime the project
has been revived in Portugal of an Iberian
union, which may be the secret OF the strength
OF the Portuguese royal house in Madrid. The
| wishes of Louis Napoleon will undoubtedly
1 have great infu, nee in the discussions in
Madrid; but it does not follow that they will
control the choice OF the nation. The Spa
niards are proud and warlike people, and
| very sensitive to any appearance of foreign
influence in their domestic affairs. The first
Napoleon found nothing but disaster to his
designs In Spain. His successor may be
more successful AT this moment the move
ments in Madrid constitute the most impor-
tant event IN European politics, and will be
contemplated with interest everywhere.

of doubts as TO it's title to Congressional repre-
septation. A State which may vote for the
President must be in the Union; and, being in
the Union, IL has right to representation In
the Senate and the House.
The Joint resolution by which Senator Ed
muDds hoped to escape the difficulty really
amounted to nothing. There was not even
ingenuity in the declaration that the Georgia
vote should be counted If the result were
not thereby affected, but excluded II the
effect were otherwise. Its terms admitted of
no other Interpretation. Expounding them
officially, the President of the Senate said
that their purport was 'that If the votes of
the tate of Georgia did not alter the result of
the election they might be counted, and If
they did alter the result, they were not to be
counted" But the artifce is too puerile to
serve the purpose for which it was intended.
For the right of State is not contingent upon
the political complexion of its vote. Whether
it might elect Grant, or whether IL might
defeat him, had nothing to do with the point
to be decided. That was a simple yea or nay
on the question of admitting or excluding the
vote. And when an Affirmative decision was
rendered, as it was on Wednesday, the status
of Georgia was practically settled.
The acceptance of the vote is an unoondi-
tioBal recognition Of the power to vote. No
special pleading based upon the Eimuuds
joint resolution or on any other ground can
at all modify the essential fact. The joint
actiOn OF the TWO houses III receiving the vote
admits of no appeal. 1t is positive and con-
elusive as well as to the legal regularity of the
vote as to the authority of the State to
| give it. There is no middle ground ia the
| premises. That State cannot be out of the
Union, or as a State subject to constitutional
penalties, whose voice for Seymour and Blair
was formally listened to by the President of
the Senate in the presence Of both houses
The result is especially noteworthy, because
directly occasioned by the Senate, which has
thus far refused admission to the Georgia
Senators. Had General Buffers objection pre-.
vailed, we should have said that exclusion
from the Electoral Collegein this case implied
exclusion from the Union. But these obi &C.
tions having been overruled-srbitrarily and
irregularly, we must admit, but still over
ruled-the theory of the Senate Judiciary
Committee is exploded, and the unwillingness
to admit Mr.. Hill ceases to be excusable.
We do not look for absolute consistency in
these matters, but when an important consti-
tutionsl principle is at stake, we must assume
that the Senate will adhere to the logical con-
sequences of it's own proceeding. After de-
claring that the votes OF Georgia should be re-
ceived, it cannot, without disqualification,
deny the right of the State to Senatorial repre-
sentation.

trust that Colfax will easily form a party in
the Senate. This salvy, smiling demapoaue
has already assumed to speak for the new ad-
ninistration In manner so forward aud offi-
ous that II cannot be pleasing to Grant. While
the President elect has preserved a studiad
silence and refused to declare any policy, the
elb-topguedV President elect has again and
again addressed the public, telling what the
election signiied and what the Republican
party intend to accomplish in the new admin-
istraton. Grant is too proud and reticeht To
openly complain of this but he ia precisely
the kind Of man to be struck with its pre-
sumptuous unseemliness. What his own
sense Of propriety forbds him to do. though
it would become him if it would ANYBODY.
Colfax steps forward spd does, forgetfdl that
he has been elected merely to put questions
in the Senate, and that Grant, If an body, is
authorized to declare the purposes of the
new administration. MOdesty and reticenoe
may, or IL may not, be q proper role
for Grant, but nobody can very we'll
dispute that they would become Colfax, who
is SO ready to erect himself into an oracle.
Butler, who is a quick, keen observer, has
promptly OWNED Colfax's aspirations and
Grants jealousy, and has struck chord
which will reveIberste the dissOnauce. 1t
matters little that he is all wrong in his par
liamentsry points, they are only pretexts. AS
partisan of Grant, he al ms to set the House
and Senate by the ears, and to make it ap-
pear that the House. which Immediately rep
regents the people, trusts the new President,
while the Senate, with rival of Grant at its
fnture head, refuses its confdeno and main
tains surveillance over his conduct. Butler
has the sagaoity to see that the Republican
party cannot much longer hold together and
be aims to be on the side which the people
will ultimately support.

Mexico and the Foreign Powers.


From The ". Y. Herald.
Late European telegraphic news informs us
that the Opposition in the French Corps
L6gislatif demand o restoration of diplomatic
relations with Mexico. They ask this under
the plea that French interests will suffer if
there is longer interruption. Thus the
Opposition never fail to make hit at the
disasters Of the Mexican expedition whenever
opportunity offers. The fact is, moreover,
that the reopening of diplomatic relations with
Mexico is really necessary. French dreams
in that direction were rudely broken; but
French interests are not so easily trodden
upon. There are very many French subjects
who were resident in Mexico at the date of
the intervention and who were obliged to fly
from the country. The Mexican Government
has made most sweeping confsoation of all
their property without regard to their politi-
cal sentiments, and doubtless these are dis
posed to make an effort to have it returned to
them. Moreover, France had large debt
against Mexico at the date OF the Intervention,
not including the infamous Jecker fraud or
the unfortunate acknowledged investment of
over two hundred and ffty-two millions of
dollars in the royal tilibustering expedition
OF Maximilian. The entire European debts of
Mexico at the date of Intervention were about
ninety-five millions of dollars, of which sixty
six millions are claimed by England.
England as we'll as France appears anxious
TO resume diplomatic relations with the Mexi-
cans, and the British Premier lately stated
that England was ready to do this "when
Mexico asked for t"-a very foolish thing to
state, considering the fact that Mexico is so
disgusted with herself and the whole of hu-
nanity that she feels more exclusive than
China, and would by far prefer never to see
another foreign diplomat upon her soil. When
she asks England to send minister to her
capital it will be when she is under an Ame-
| Tioan DrOteCtOrate. We advise Franco to wait
for this same moment before she undertakes
to accredit any Frenchman to Mexico. There
is no settling of this vexed Mexican question
in any way but the natural one. II Europe
will wait a little while, say from six months
to year, for US to get our new administration
at work, we will give them nal and salts
factory solution of the whole pro blem.

De-, az" sends us u com nunication
about dogs, all of whom he would like
to see summarily disposed OF. We
know there is considerable talk about
mad dogs, and that there is perfect
mania prevailing on Long Island on
the subject where thirty dogs have been
killed by the affrighted inhabitants un-
the supposition that they had the by
drophobia, and an implacable warfare
is waged against the miserable animals,
until the harrassed and prosecuted
beasts are actually driven mad and are
led to consider the whole human family
as their sworn foes, and consequently
snap at and bite all whom they encoun-
ter. The foolish and fear peo-
pie imagine every dog that bites them
to be mad, and several persons have
died in the most fearful commissions at
ter being bitten by what were after
wards proven to be perfectly sane and
harmless dogs. There is no doubt what
ever that a great majority of the cases
of so-called deaths from hydrophobia
are purely the result of an unreasoning
and uncomfortable fear.

FIRE The frame dwelling, No. 294
First avenue, owned and occupied by
Mr.. Peter Schurster, was discovered to
be on fire, at about halt past o'clock,
last evening. Washington Engine Co.
No. 3, were promptly on the ground,
and taking water from the cellar of the
building, recently destroyed by fire,
soon had powerful stream on the burn
ing building. The steamers and hose
and truck companies, speedily arriving,
but little danger was apprehended for
the safety of the adjoining building-a
small grocery store, kept by Mr.. Schur-
ster, which was damaged only by wa
ter.
The fire is supposed to have origina-
ted from q defect in the chimney, in
the second story, igniting some cloth
ing in a closet adjoining the chimney.
But few articles in the upper part of
the house were saved. in consequence
of the rapidity with which the flames
spread. The goods on the first floor
were saved. The goods in the store
were also hastily and unnecessarily re-
moved, considerable damage being in
Cured thereby.
The entire loss will reach $1200-in-
sured for $500 in Newark Company,
and $500 in the Elizabethtown Mutual.
The people residing in this afflicted
neighborhood complain of the great
want of a fire-h ydrant, feeling that their
property is almost wholly at the mercy
of the element i'll case of fire. Consid-
ering these circumstances, and the hea-
Wy roads, we consider the fremen ac-
complished wonders, not only last eve-
ming, but also at the recent severe fire
in this locality.
