News at the Capital.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-Western bust
ness men are urging the passage of a
bill to redeem the thirty five million 3
per cent. certificates, and issue in their
place the same amount of national bank
notes. The effect would be to con-
tract the currency East and relieve the
West.
Senators are arriving quite freely for
the meeting of Congress on Monday.
An examination of business before the
House shows that much larger amount
of Legislation has been blocked out than
has been generally supposed. In each
House nearly 1000 bills are pending,
and in the Senate over 200 have been in
troduced. Of this number, twenty five
relate to financial matters, six propose
free banking, and three relate to the re-
distribution of the national bank curren-
cy. Another provides for national is
sue of national bank notes. and proposes
to fund the public debt and provide for
resuming specie payments.
Gen. Paine of Wisconsin, has prepar.
ed and viii introduce on Monday a bill
providing for new apportionment Of
Representatives, TO be made on the basis
of the ninth census. 1t increases the
present number. ... a,,.
The income tax will probably be re-
duced to per cent, instead of the pres
ent system. u.
The Presidents order, looking 10 re-
ntoval of army officers from hero to the
West, creates a good deal of talk among
those who have had easy places in Wash
ington for a number of years. Some Of
them are quite certain that the business
of the War Department can't be carried
on properly if they are ordered away,
and influence is being used with the
President TO have this ffian and that man
exempted from the transfer.

Indiana, mixed with the Lake Superior

rapidly becoming very extensive and

In 1850, Indiana had $l0l 500 invested
in the making OF bar, sheet and railroad
iron; used 1850 tons of the pig aud

II Is estimated that Philadelphia spends about
5000, 900 annually upon her streets, while New
York spends over So, 100000 This is dis
crepsncy that more than accounts for the
difference between the highways of ths two
cities. We have now been hesitating over
three years about paving two miles of Broad
street, and have been permitting one of the
grendest highways in the world to rem ain in
an utterly disgraceful condition, while New
York has given contract amounting to over
81, 25O, 900 during the present month alone
to the Stow Foundation Company to pave
nine miles of Broadway. This fact certainly
ought to arouse the activity of our authori-
ties and induce them to do something for the
improvement of Broad street without further
delay.

THE ROLE OF TIE FREE TRADE
REPUBLTOA Ms

REPUBLICANS.
TIE New York World advises Carl Schurz
and his fellow free-traa aers to keep up the
pretense of being Republicans for the pre-
sent, so as to "strengthen aud extend their
influence, and propagate their sentiments
among their party associates, in an article
which also assures them that the Republican
party is irrevocably committed to protection;
and that they will be gladly welcomed in the
Democratic camp as soon as they can transfer
a considerable body of deluded followers from
the Republican organization to the Demo
cratic party. The true way to battle such in
sidious schemes is to confront them at once
by making as bold an issue on the tariff ques-
tion as was made against slavery, rebellion,
and reputation. There are thousands of
Dem scrats in Missouri who are protectionists
in interest and inclination.
The furnaces of that State are owned
mainly by Democratic capitalists, and her
Iron Mountain can be made a source OF in
exhaustibe wealth by a protective policy.
The property of her metropolis, st. Louis,
depends infinitely more upon the develop
ment and maintenance of domestic manufac-
lures than on the increase of her foreign
trade; and if Missouri is to be reclaimed at
all, it must be by meeting Schurz squarely on
his own ground, and beating down his free
trade falacies. In Pennsylvania, too, we
need no better issue than the tariff. Tse
only hope of the Democracy for carrying this
State is based on policy even more dishonest
than that marked out for Schurz. Here the
Democratic local leaders are to insist that
they are better tariff men than the Rspubli-
cans, and to carry the people with them, if
possible, on old issues, while in other portions
OF the Union Democratic candidates are to
overcome their rivals by the supposed popu-
larity of free-trade principles. The Republi-
can party is quite strong enough to triumph
longing to it, provided it can win the sup
port of q fair proportion of the Democratic
protectionists of the country but it
may be overwhelmed if it loses
all it's free-traders without gaining
assistance from men who differed with it on
the slavery issue. Missouri has plenty of
Democratic protectionists who would be indi-
vidually worth great deal more to the Re-
publican party than Carl Schurz, and it would
be splendid bargain to trade him off for
any one of the Democratic ironmasters of st.
Louis. There are votes to be won as well as
to be lost on the tariff issue, and the way to
win them is to enlist every friend of Ameri-
can industry under the Republican banner,
aud to gladly turn over to the Democracy
every advocate of the industrial dominance
of our foreign rivals.

A 0UILTY CONSOIENCE.

In TIE midst of the excitement over the
prospect of a war with Russia, despatch re-
lating to the Alabama claims from President
Grant to Mr.. Moran, the Secretary of Lega-
tion, and, since the recall of Mr.. Montley, the
Charge dA fdireS, has been received in Lon
don. In consequence of Lord Granville being
out it was impossible for Mr.. Moran to CON-
munioate the despatch to him, and the Lon
don journals have consequently been unable
to learn anything with regard to its character.
The fact, however, that a despatch on the
subject of the Alabama claims from the Pre-
sident of the United States should
arrive in England just at this
critical juncture has stirred up the
guilty British conscience, and we are in
formed that the greatest CONSERVATION and
excitement prevail, it being Immediately pre-
sumed as a matter of course that there is a
secret understanding between the United
States and Russia. President Grant could
not have chosen more auspicious moment
for reopening the negotiations with regard to
the Alabama claims, for England is now
trembling between a fear that Russia will
obtain preponderance of power in the East
that will threaten the British domain in India,
and disinclination to embark in great war
which she will be obliged to carry on without
the aid of the ally who carried
off all the honors in the last struggle
with Russia. ALI the meanness
that characterized British dealings with the
United States during the war is now remem-
bered with q disagreeable feeling that the
nation then wronged and insulted can now
have a glorious opportunity to take its
revenge in kind, and effectuaily aid Russia
and cripple England without participating in
any way in the contest that at the present
moment seems imminent. 1t is we'll known
in England that the bitter feelings excited by
the mean and dirty conduct of the British
Government and the influential classes during
our struggle for existence have not died out
in the hearts of the American people. Mr..
Thomas Hughes can tell the British Parlia-
ment and public, as one of the
most important results of his summer
trip in the United States, that their exists
upon this side of the Atlantic sentiment of
mingled hatred and contempt for England
that may well be dreaded by that country,
and if, in the event of war with Russia that
will tax all her powers, we do not repay with
interest all the injuries we have received, it
will be because England, although at the last
moment, consents to make such reparation
as we have right to demand. There is no
reason to believe that there is any secret un-
derstanding between the Governments of the
United States and Russia, but the Emperor
Alexander may well consider the sending of
the despatch referred to above by President
Grant just at the present moment, as at
least partial return for the friendly feeling
always manifested by Russia and its rulers
towards the United States, aud for the cor
dial sympathy expressed for the national
cause by the Emperor and his people during
the whole of the Rebellion.
