be impossible to pefect that legislation
II Congress adjourned Friday.
After debate Mr.. Lawrence moved
the previous question.
ON adoption of the resolution, Mr..
GARFIELD hoped the previous question
would be voted down.
The previous question was not sec
onded. and then, on motion of Mr.. Gar
field the resolution was laid on the
table without division.
Mr.. Johnson moved to suspend
the rules that he might offer resolu-
ton and claiming that, in passing the
18th amendment to the Constitution the
House never intended that the Chinese
or Mongolians should become voters.
Rules not suspended.
Mr.. Schenck also reported resolu-
ton adopted last session in reference
to reciprocity, declaring that while the
House does not admit anything in the
Executive or treaty-making power TO
continue treaty with any foreign gov
ernment, by which import duties are
mutually regulated. He Is, however,
of the opinion and recommends to the
President to negotiate with the govern
ment of Great Britain, that it shall be
renewed and pressed, if possible, to
definite conclusion regarding the
commercial intercourse, and securing
to American citizens the right claimed
by them in the fisheries on the coast OF
British Provinces in America and the
navigation of the st. Lawrence river
from its source to the sea. Adopted.

THE HeraId's Washington dispatch
saws the delay in the nomination OF a
a Minister to England, vice ReVerdy
johnson, is attributed to the fact that
he has been carefully considering what
policy he had best pursue In regard 10
the Alabama claims. He has resolved

terday afternoon. He was son OF
Abbott Lawrence, of Boston.
The FGTtie Paris says that President
Grants message and the composition
of the Cabinet accord perfectly. Since
1861, the ideas of government centralt-
zation have been predominant and now
they seem to be accepted as the p0lltl-
cal doctrines of the great Republic.
The message in substance announces
tho end of the reign of politicians, as
the Cabinet does not contain single
really influential man. President
Grant remains the sol9 and veritable
director OF the American Government.
The Tribune says of the repeal of the
tenure-of-ot1ice act: "There is no ques-
ton involved which should antagoniZe
the Senate and the President, and the
Senate il in session and ready and will
ing to act upon any nominations that
the President shall see tit to make, and
certain to confirm at least SO in every
100. Until at least one Is rejected, we
perceive no plausible reason for the re-
peal or suspension of The tenure-ot-
Office act"

WASHINGTON reports say Commits
sioner Delano will, for tho present, re-
commend no removals from Office in
his Department on merely political
grounds, but will ask for changes only
when he can certify that, in his opinion,
the good of the service requires it, or
will be promoted by the proposed
change.
THE Cuban Junta in New York pro-
fess to have Information from Washing
ton that the Provisional Government
will be recognized at Washington IN
less than sixty days. The Intelligence
of further successes on the part of the
insurgents has highly elated them, and
some OF the more intelligent of their
number confidently express the belief
that, be fore the 4th of July next, the
Spanish Government will have aband-
oned the contest.

favorable than was anticipated. This

The receipts from Customs now prom
ise to be the largest of any one year IN
the history OF the Government. They
will reach without doubt, $3.50, ,OOO'ooo'
or &c, ,OOO, COO in excess of the estimates
and it is not impossible that they may
even reach the high figure OF $2OO,O ,OOO'-
600. The internal revenue receipts to
the present time are in excess OF $780,
O0O, 600. The remaining three and a
half months will cover the greater por-
ton of the income tax, and the special
taxes which fall due May 1st, and which
will augment the receipts to Sl5O, ,OOO.-
ono and possibly to $3.50, 900, 600. This
will be fully up to Commissioner

and If the latter figure is reached it will
be considerably exceeded

1T is certainly with pleasure we wit
ness the independence of Judgment
which is now exercised by Republican
members Of Congress. Even upon such
important measures as the Tenure-of-
Office act we find the Republican Sem
ators very evenly divided, and no one
hsk any more thought of excommuni-
cnting Senator Morton from the party
because he demanded the repeal of the
law, than they have thought of excom-
municating Senator Edmunds because
he demands its retention. Upon other
questions of greater or lesser conse-
duence, a similar display of independent
Judgment has recently been made ooth
in tie senate and the Ro1ss bou ,van The elaee nee

ence, and it is now possible for u mem
