thirty fozr millions eight hundred thousand
:, dollars, The people are unable to pay the IN

mends the sale Of The railroad interests OF the

lime says no financial policy should be deter
mined upon until the facts connected with Inc
debt are ascertained, in order that some con-
) clusion may be reached as to the Gspos'tion
of the liabilities of the Slate. After the mes

The family name Of the Earl OF Chester
field, who has just earned the immortality OF a
cable notice of his death, having died OF the
same disease from which the Priuce OF Wales
ssems likely 10 recover, was Stanhope. he
was the seventh earl Of the same title, and was
born in 1881, making him at the time OF LIS
death forty years OF age. He succeeded MID
father to the Il lie in the year 1866, and never
having married, leaves no soa 10 enjoy the
title which will, In consequence, descend to his
cousin, Mr. George Philip stanhope. The
most interesting feature connected with the
deceased and his relatives Of the Slanhope
blood Is that the dandysh Philip Downes stan
hope, Earl of Ches' er6eld, who wrote the
famous cynical and heartless letters to his son
apon the rules of department, was member
of the same family. Apart from this, The Stan
hopes are sufficiently respectable, as the fam-.
" was of some importance as Tar back as the
reigns of Henry III and Edward J.
"A Washington letter to the Baltimore Sun
SAYS: .These Republican senators and mem
bers who have arrived here, and who have
expressed any opinion, do not expect tnat
much important business will be done this ses-
sion beyond passing bill reducing taxation
and the general appropriation bills. The sup
porters of the administration express their
confidence in the nomination aud rs-election
OF Grant, and declare that most Of the Pres!-
dent-making for the session viii be confined
. to the Democratic side. The anti-Grant Re-
publicans do not appear to develop much
strength In the House; indeed, it is said there
are not halfa dozen who can be counted on.
while Messrs. Sumner, Scburz and Upton are
the only senators positively known in the
Senate to be against Grants denomination.
The Democratic senator's are very generally
opposed to joining hands with the anu-Grant
men until the latter show some positive Or
ganization that would warrant coalition on
general issues before the people. 1t is evil
dent that there is to be no precipitate
action, on the part Of the Democracy In
Congress on the Presidential question, and
Il Ia doubtful if anything positive results
from the caucus to be held early in the ses-
siop. The feeling at least now appears to be
that the lesser should come to the greater"
