IN the discussion of the naval appro-
priation bill in the House last week,
the Hon. Samuel ]. Randall illustrated
Grants love Of retrenchment and re-
form by the following instance. When
the present administration went into
power there were employed in the ma
w yard of Philadelphia between eight
and nine hundred men, Within one
month the force in that navy yard was
increased to twenty Ave hundred men.
Mr.. Randall declared that there was no
public necessity for their employment
-''the men were actually in each 9TH
er's way" Yet the administration
which obtained possession OF power
mnder the most solemn pledges of econ
Omy is now urging enormous appro-
priations for the perpetuation Of such
INDUSTRIOUS abuses as those TO which
Mr.. Randall has called public attention.

attention of the Senate yesterday. EIr.
Sherman's amendment to allow banks
having excess ofcapital under the act,
to go into States having less tran their
equal share of circulation, and estab-
fishing bankiug-hous therein, was a.
dopted. An amendment, by Mr..
Chandler, to increase the amount of
circulation provided for in the bill to
one hundred million, was rejected

The same Senator also reported back
from the Post-office Committee, with
amendments, the bill to establish
postal telegraph system and to incor-
porate the Postal Telegraph Company.
Mr.. Cragin introduced a bill to abolish
the Office of Surveyor of Customs. In
the House of Representatives two bills

The United States Senate, in execu-
tive session yesterday, rejected, by a
vote of ayes24, nays33, the nomination
of Ebenezer r. Hoar as Associate JUS
tice of the Supreme Court. The vote
was square one OH the issue, and the
President stands snubbed for insisting
upon the confirmation of his unpopu-
lar candidate.
A bill to authorize the funding and
consolidation of the national debt, to
extend banking facilities, and to estab-
lish specie payments was introduced
in the United States Senate yesterday,
from the Finance Committee, by Mr..
Sherman. 1t was ordered to be print
ed. Mr.. Abbott, the North Carolina
carpet bagger, offered resolution of
inquiry into the constitutionality and
eXpediency of establishing a national
police force for the Southern States lin
ether words of continuing military
rule. After a discussion of some
length upon the matter ofnaval appro-
priations, the Senate laid aside the or
der so as to allow Matt Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, to get off his long incuba-
ted Cuba sympathy speech. Mr.. Car
penter advocated the repeating of the
Neutrality law. Mr.. Howard defend
ed the policy of the administration,
and rldiculed the pretentions of the
Cubans to a responsible government.
In the House of Representatives Mr..
Cullum, from the Territorial Commit
tee, reported the bill 10 prohibit poly
gamy in the Territory of Utah. The
bill to admit Mississippi to representa-
ti0n in Congress was reported by B..
f. Butler, from the Reconstruction
Committee. The features of the bill
are precisely the same as in the act adj
mitting Virginia. Mr.. Beck offered a
substitute to admit the State uncondi-
tionally, but ii was voted down, IS to
9S, about one half of those voting in
the affirmative being Radicals. The
original bill was then passed. The re-
mainder of the session was devoted to
debate upon the bill introduced by
Mr.. Dawes, from the Committee on
Appropriations, to supply deficiencies
for the navy. The Dill asked for SO :
100000. In the course of the debate
allusiOn was made to the packing of
the navy-yards with superfluous la
borers at election times, and 10 the a.
farming inefficiency of our naval ves-
sells. Mr.. Logan called the latter old
tubs, Mr., Banks quoted Admiral Far
raeut as saying that wooden vessels
were as good as iron ones, Cuba was
dragged into the discussion, and Mr.,
Benjamin, in behalf of the administra-
tion,s announced that 1t was not prepar-
ed at this time even to recommend the
recognition of Cuban belligerenCy.-
Finally, an amendment, cutting down
the appropriation to 81 800, 900, was a.
greed to, and the bill was passed.

All doubt is removed of the fate OF
Mexico. The unfortunate country is
doomed to aLother bloody civil war,
and even the friends of Juarez admit
that the catastrophe cannot be averted.
Five States are now in open insurrec-
ton, and tine central government is
powerless. Very gloomy forehodings of
the future fill the columns of the Vera
Cruz papers. Thenexi steamer at Ha-
vana will probably bring the news of
the downfall of President Juarez and
the reign of anarchy all over the land.
In exchanging Maximilian for Juarez
the Mexicans got back their republic,
but not peace or good government.

him being that he was wizard.

were the very negroes he has
ealogized so frequently and loved SO

The Haquifer is thrown into convul-

THE HlqtfiFer is thrown into convul-
sions by the fact thattwo Democrats in
Congress voted against the abolition of
the franking privilege. 1t is the
abuse of this privilege by the
Radicals that has made it odious.
Congressmen like John Coyode
have for years loaded down the
mails with reportso smelling commit
tees and whitewashing Investigations,
and some Of them have even been
known to send their boots home
through the post Office. Nothing of
this kind happened when the Demo
Gratis were in majority in Congress.
The franking privilege, as it was used
in the better days of the Republic, wasa
benefit to the people. 1t enabled them
to communicate freely and fully with
their representatives in Congress, and
especially were the farmers pr0fited by
il in the distribution of seeds of i'm
proved cereals and other plants from the
Agricultural Department. But the pri-
vilege has been abused, as we have said,
and there is great need that the abuses
which have made it unpopular, should
be corrected. Judge Woodward and
Col. Haldeman, the two Democrats
who voted against the abolition of the
privilege, and the half dozen Radi-
Gals who voted with them, did SO be-
cause they desired it to stand in order
that it might be reformed and restored
to what it once was, blessing, instead
of what it now is, a curse to the people.
Moderation is the best policy. The
franking privilege properly restricted,
would be useful to the public. If the
Covodes and Cessnas and KeIleys and
Schencks had never invaded Congress,
there would be no occasion to-day for
the abolition or reformation of this
privilege.

AFTER all the promises of retrench-
ment and reform made by The Grant
administration-afte all the sales Of
muskets, irOncladS, and munitions Of
war-after the receipt of millions upon
millions of dollars from internal reve-
nue. and customs-the national debt
for the month of January shows re-
duction of only s3,9S3, ,664; and it is
probable that when Secretary Bout
wells figures have been thoroughly
oYerhauIed and the true state of affairs
made known, the PRODUCTION" will be
found to have no real existence. In
the meantime the taxes of the people
have not been lightened in the slight
est degree, and the burden of the debt
is crushing out the life of the nation.

Will some one who is posted tell
the country what the object is in keep
ing up "The Grand Army of the Re-
public?' We read of sessions, meet
ings, secret conclaves and most mys-
terious doings Of this 'Grand Army"
and the rejecting classes, who proper
ly hold wars and dsoldiering as political
and moral nuisances, look with espe-
cial disfavoF upon this sort of organi-
zation in times of peace. The country
is sick of war, sick Of the fruits of it,
sick of the cost Of ii, sick Of soldering
as a profession, and the sooner the
''Grand Army of the Republic" ceases
to meet and fight over its old battles,
the sooner will the political wounds of
the Nation heal up.-Loncdster L,telzt-

was obliged TO give way to special or
der, and the Senate refused, by vote
of "a to p, to take ifup again. This is
supposed to indicate the strength of
the friends and enemies of the meas
ure, and, of course, TO foreshadow its
defeat. The Senate passed bill au-
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasu-
ry to withhold moneysdue toany State
which may be in default of payment
of the interest on any part of its bonds
held in trust by the United States. a
part OF the session was devoted to the
consideration of means of coddling the
District negroes. The bill to incorpo-
ratea HOMEOPATHIC Society, amended
so as TO prevent the exclusion of ne
groes, was passed. In the House,
General Sl0cum read an advertisement
from New York paper, offering for
sale vacant cadetship in the United
States Naval Academy, and resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted author
izlng the Committee ON Military Af-
fairs to inquire a. to whether any
member of the House has ever sold or

ner indicated. In the course Of the
remarks which followed, Mr.. Wood
ward stated a case where there had
come to his knowledge the offer of a
sale of a West Point cadetship for ST.

a sale for $500, the culprit being

WASHINGTON, Feb. 3

Mr.. Sherman's Currency bill was

terday by vote of 80 TO %. Sumner
and sixteen other Radicals voted a.
gainst it. The Senate also discussed
Mr.. Howe's Neutrality bill. In the
House of Representative, Mr.. Logan
introduced resolution requiring the
Committee on Foreign Affairs to re-
port on the feasibility of recognizing
the belligerency of Cuba, which was a
dopted. This brings the matter to
head, if the committee does not dodge
the responsibility by neglecting to re-
port. The House, in committee, de-
bated at length the Senate bill to ap-
propriate $50, ,00O for the relief of the
negroes Of Washington. A sharp pas
sage between Mr.. Randall and Mr..

was decidedly worsted. The bill was

The New York Herald makes a
sharp point in regard to the Southern
States being required to ratify the fif-
teenth amendment as a condition of
restoration to the Union. AS they
could not be trusted to come in and
then ratify it, they ratified first and
then came in. They were, therefore,
not in the Union Either, then, says
the Herald, all the reconstruction laws
Of Congress are invalid, or these South
ern ratifications of the fifteenth amend
ment are invalid If the States were
in the Union there was no need to adj
nit them, and if they were not in the
Union they could not participate in
