REyxSun REToRM. The House Of Rep
rebsntalivcs, some days ago, passed the
following resolution, introduced by Mr..
Kellogg, BY a vote Of 164 yeas to 5 nays:
'sThat the trpe pfincipla of revenue reform
points to the abolition Of the internal revenue
sybten, which was created as war measure to
pspride for extraordinary expenses, and the con-
iiauance Of which involves the employment at
the cost Of millions Of dollars annually, Of, an
army Of assessors, collectors, supervisors detec-
tiyes, and other officers previously unknown,
and requires the repeal Of it at the earliest day
consistent with the faith and credit Of the gov
srhmeut, and Of all stamp and other internal
taxes and that properly adjusted rates shall be
detaiued on distilled spirits, tobacco and malt
liquors, 90 long as the legitimate expenses of the
government require the collection Of any sum
from internal taxes"
The Baltimore San very aptly remarks
that this is all correct enough as a general
proposition, in response to what has been
the tendency of the public mind since the
war, but it is nothing moro than an ex-
precision Of opinion by the House, and
has no legislative force. There can be
no objection to declaration of public

what the people look for is that their cry

The Philadelphia Age of yesterday says:
The Return Judges of the First Scna
torial district met yesterday, and gave the
certificate of election to Colonel Dechcrt.
Thus what was won at the polls was saved
at the after-meeting Of tho Judges. 10
be sure, the majority was heavy to be
manipulated. The margin was wide to
attack. But tho job would have been at
tempted, had it not been for the deter
mined attitude of the Democratic party.
Notice was given to such men as Beatty
and his assistants that an outrage like
that committed in the case of Mr.. Price.
would not be tolerated. Mr.. Price was
elected and counted out, and Mr.. Lyud
occupies seat upon the Bench to which
was not candidate for the position. But
the Democrats made up their minds thai
Colonel Dechert should not be cheated il
this manner. They had elected him at /
fair. honest poll, and they demanded re
spect for their voices, and sanctity for th,
elective franchise. Both were accorde,
yesterday, but under compulsion Wei
known return manufacturers we're present
eager to put their gifts in practice. Blu
honest Democrats stood like n wall of fir
around the result, as given from the bal
lot-boxes, and bad men were compelled
act in a fair manner, much against thei
Wills and desires.
Colonel Dechert has now the certifcat.
and will take his seat in the Senate. Tt
result of the election was a most gratif,
