CONGREssEONAL.
WASHINGTON, Feb. g.


In the U. S. Senate, yesterday, GeOr-
gia was duly reported as having rati-
fed the fourteenth and fifteenth a.
mendments. Messrs. Hill and Miller,
the Senators elected by the Legisla-
ture year ago, are in Washington de-
manding admission, but they are hard
ly Radical enough to get in. The SEN
ate discussed the Census bill, and also
Mr. TrumbuIfs bill to relieve Mem
bers of Congress from the importuni-
ties of office beggars Two railroad
jobs were reported favorably by Messrs.
Howard and Osborn. Mr.. Corbett re-
ported favorably the bill to encourage
telegraphic communication between
the United States and Asia, by means
OF a submarine cable under the Pacific
Ocean. The Senate listened To eulogies
upon the late Representative Hoag
from Messrs. Sherman and Thurman.
In the House of Representatives four
fresh railroad jobs were introduced.
An important vote was had on the tar
if question, which showed that the
free traders are making a steady gain.
1t Was upon resolution declaratory of
the sense Of the house that no tariff
should be adopted that was not adjus-
ted to revenue standard. 1t was
laid on the table by vote of SO to n.
Bills were introduced to reduce letter
postage to two cents, and newspaper
postage to one cent; to exempt newspa-
pers from operation of the law abolish
ing the franking privilege; to discon-
tinuethe Freedmen'sBur to author
ize the government to buy all patents
and copyrights; and tby Mr. ArneIl of
Tennesseei to ''do justice to the female
employees of the government, by Civ
ing them the same compensation as
men in like positions" The death of
Mr.. tioag was announced with appro-
pirate tributes, and a committee ap-
pointed to accompany the remains to
Ohio.

THE legislature passed bill the 9TH
er day to establish a Metropolitan Po
lice in the city of Philadelphia. The
object Of the measure was to take the
control of the police out of the hands of
the Mayor, who is Democrat, in or
der that it might be placed in the
power of radical politicians who de-
sire to use it to elect themselves to
Congress, the State legislature, and
other lucrative Offices. This direct
blow at local self-gOvernment. howev-
er, was destined to fall short fits aim.
Gov. Geary vetoed the bill. His mes
sage returning it to the Senate in which
It originated, is an admirable State
paper and thoroughly Democratic in
tone. We are glad to be able to COM
mend this act Of the Governor. Some
Of the radical newspapers are assaiiing
him with great bitterness because of
this veto. Ifhe could only be per-
suaded to go on in the good work, we
should feel disposed to forgive him
many of his past sins.

SENATOR MoRRoW B. LOW

SENATOR MORROW B. LOWRY, Of
the State Senate, an out-and out "Re-
publican" recently denounced George
Besgner, of the Harrisburg Telegraph,
tie central organ of The Republican"
party in this State, as and 'soid State
robI'er, every ounce Of flesh on whose
body had been stolen from the labor of
che taxpayers" There is a Dawes in
Congress and a Lowry in the Senate,
and the consequence is that some rich
tales are being told out of the Radical
School.

SENATOR REvELs, of Mississippi
will soon apply for his seat in the Uni
ted States Senate He is the colored
gentleman who was elected to that
dignilied station, the other day, by the
carpet-bag legislature of Mississippi
Our Republican friends in this neigh
bOrhoOd will probably be called upon
TO initiate the example of their breth-
ren in that State. As they expect to
obtain the colored vote, they bad bet
ter give that element some representa-
tion on their ticket. We suggest that
they nominate one of the Fifteenth A
mendment voters for Associate Judge.
AS they pretend TO be so very friendly
to the citizens Of African descent, this
suggestion is made to test their SINGER
ify.

THE Inquirer, like drowning man
catching at straw, rails out concern
ing the vote of Senator Finday In re-
gard to the publication ofa Legislature
Record. If Mr.. F. had voted to con.
tinue the old Record, which under the
rule of the Lnq1tirer's party at Harris
burg had grown to be a monstrous
swindIe, we would join it in denounc-
Ing that gentleman. But the PROPOSE
tion for which Mr.. Findlay voted was
quite different from what it is repre-
sented by the Inquirer Bergner's old
Record job cost the State some s24, 900
per annum. The Record for which
our Senator voted was to cost not more
than $4,000, about one third of thar of
former years. This was vote in fav.
or Of retrenchment, and instead of
denunciati0n, Mr.. Findlay should re-
ceive credit, for giving it.

GENERAL PAINE, of Wisconsin, has
expressed a strong desire to be reliev-
ed from further service in the Com
mittee of Elections of Congress, He is
disgusted with the acts OF his assoei-
atas. In view of the infamous reports
in the cases of Covode, of Pennsylva-
MIA, Van Wyck, of New York, and
Wallace of South Carolina, this is not
at all surprising. Generel Paine is a
republican. He has served his country
with distinction in the field, and bears
on his person the marks of terrible
wounds received in battle. He feels
no necessity to commit frauds on the
right of representation in order to testi-
~ his devotion to his party. 1t is
needless to add that John Cessna is a
member of that committee from service
in which General Paine desires relief.

A decision was rendered in the Uni
ted States Supreme Court yesterday in
one OF the legal-tender cases. Chief
Justice Chase delivered the opinion of
the court, sustaining the decision of the
court below, and holding that con-
tract made ht,fnra the he In,rai H..
-" --7aI-uender law
could not be discharged in United
States notes. The opinion Is very
long, and discusses at great length the
powers of Congress. 1t holds that Con-
gress had no right to make govern
ment notes a legal-tender for pre-ex-
listing private debts. 1t does not touch
the question of contracts made since
the law was passed. The opinion was
concurred in by Justices Nelson, Cliff
ford, and Field, majority of the court.
The three other Justices dissented.

The rapid outflow Of cOlOred labor.
ers from Virginia to the Southern
States has given rise to the erroneous
impression in the Gulf States that the
real cause of the movement is the diff
Guilty of the population Of vi ginia to
find food for them, owing TO short
crops, &c. An Alabama paper goes so
far as 10 say that it remains for the
Southern planters TO 'save the Virgin
ia negro from the death which Squalid
nauperisln always has in store for its
poor victim" From the accounts Civ
en- in the Virginia papers it would
seem that the class of cOlored people

They are, generally, the best iahOrers,
who have never yet found it difficult to

temptations Of high wages and warm
weather have been induced to leave their
old demployers. Very few ofthe worth
less co.ored people leave their homes;
they prefer to remain and be aS lazy AS
ever, and hence the many complaints
and apprehensions, especially from
South-side Virginia, regarding the
prospect for making the next crops.

A New DISEASE IN NEW YORK -
The n. Y. World, of Saturday, has the
following REGARDING the "relapsing fe-
ver," new disease which has lately
appeared In that city. There are thir-
ty-tWO cases Of it which are known to
exist in this city at the present time in
the hospitals. The disease has been
sent to those institutions under differ
ent names -typhus, typhoid, and SIM
pie fever; but they have proved to be
relapsing fever. The fever has been
prevalent in the workshops of Great
Britain for "A great many years 1t is
a common disease in England, Ireland,
Scotland, Russia, Poland and the
North German towns. DR.. Norton
does not know how it got here at this
time. 1t appears thus far to have
made its appearance in places which
were remarkable for overcrowding and
flIth. There is good deal of pain in
the head, which lasts six or seven days.
Then there comes a sudden sweating,
under which the temperature falls quite
lOw-Of course below the normal tenn
perature. When the patient is in that
condition he suffers from IA species of
rheumatic pains, and is left in a very
exhausted condition for five or six
days. Then comes on the relapse, and
the same course of the disease is gone
over again. The patient may become
so exhausted that death may ensue.

w ASHINGION, req. IL.
In the United States Senate yester-
day Mr.. Sherman introduced a resolu-
=tion providing for the Immediate re-
cognition Of the beIIigerency of the Gu
ban insurgents, and supported it in
strong speech. In the course of the de-
bate which followed, Mr.. Sumner re-
marked sneeringly that the Commit
tee on Foreign Relations were willing
to report in favor of recognition if
war existed in Cuba. but up to the pre-
sent time they had been unable 10 ob
tam any facts which indicated the ex-
istence of war. Mr.. Sherman in re-
ply called his attention to the thirty
gunboats built in New York for the
Spaniards on Cuban waters. He con
sented to the reference of his resoIu
tiOn to the Committee on Foreign Rela-
tions. The Senate also discussed the
Franking Privilege and Mississippi
Admission bills. While upon the lat
ter subject, Mr.. Drake defended Mr..
Sumner against the aspersiOns of his
numerous enemies in the Radical
ranks, and berated those who did not
worship him as apostates and consor-
tiers with Democracy. There was al
so blackguard tilt between Nye and
Fowler while comparing records as to
the sOundness of their RadicaIism. In
the House of Representatives bills were
introduced to amend the Bankru ptcy
law, and to provide for the further re-
duction of the army. After the dispo-
sal of a number of private bills, the
House went into Committee on the
Legislative Appropriation bill. An "a
mendment offered by Noah Davis, to
deprive the members of Congress of
their free newspapers and stationary,
was promptly voted down. Both
Houses, before adjournment, listened
to eulogies upon the Hon. b. F. Hop
kins, VI. G. from Wisconsin, who died
on the Ist of January last.
