Latest News from Washington.
Congressional.

WASHINGTON, May 11.--Scndte.---The bill
to amend the enforcement act occupied the
entire day. The present position Of the bill
will give two inspectors of election ut every
voting precinct, who must be recommended
by at least ten voters.
House.-The tariff bill occupied the day.
Many amendments were offered, but all were
rejected.
The Deficiency Appropriations ard
the Cotton Claims.
WASHINGTON, May 11.-It is understood that
the Senate Committee on Deficiency Appro-
priations have agreed to abandon Morrilps
amendment, while the House committee is
determined to stand by their substitute. The
probability is that the whole matter will be
dropped, and the decision of the Supreme
Court will govern.
The effect of the Morrill, amendment is to
| lock i'll the Treasury the amounts for which
| judgments have been entered in the courts
under the Supreme Court decision. and the
| effect of the substitute from the House will
be to pay these judgments and to require the
Secretary of the Treasury to adjudicate the
claims for cotton seized after June 1, 1865.
In case no action is taken by the confer
ence committee, both the amendment and
the substitute will fail, and the Supreme
Court decision fixes the status Of claimants
as to all cotton seized before June 1, 1860.
All other cases stand rs before. The fund to
pay those claims is in the Treasury, and is
| held in trust for the claimants. 1t amounts
to nearly SO, 100000, of which $40, 0,000,000i Is
barred by the statute Of limitation. There is
Il crisis in these affairs which is attracting at
| tention from all sections of the country. A
number of prominent attorneys are here ac-
| lively working for their clients.

Sumner on Grant.

Senator Sumner delivered quite a
lengthy speech in the United States
Senate on Saturday last, which has
caused a commotiOn in the Radical
camp. 1t was a carefully prepared
terrific arraignment of Grant whom
he declared to be a nepotist, a cor
ruptionist, stupid blunderer and a
disgraceful failure. He revealed to
the public for the first time, that E..
NJ. Stanton on his death bed, gave
it as his deliberate judgment that
Grant was incapable of carrying on
tho government. The following is
the significant conclusion Of his
speech:
have made the exposure of pre-
tentions which for the sake of Re-
publican institutions, every good
citizen should wish expunged from
history, but I had no alternative.
The President himself insists on put
ting them in issue. For myself, l
say openly 1 am no mans man, nor
do l belong to any personal party.

Death of James Gordon Bennett.

James Gordon Bennett, the ven
cradle editor of the New York Her.
aid, died in that city on Saturday
last. The Herald has been for many
years the most successful newspa-
per in the world. Bennett was
never popular. In fact he was obi
Gus to a great class, but they never
theless bought his paper. 1t was
always filed with news, and went
strong on the sensational. The
Herald never had any politics ex-
cept those of the winning party. 1t
could snuff the course of political
events and invariably followed them.
1t pandered to the popular tastes,
nO matter what 1t was. 1t was
never considered moral paper,
and was more popular with the fan
cy than with doctors of divinity.
Bennett himself was not regarded
as a Christian in former years. Lit
tie has been heard of him for SOME
time past. His later years, given
TO the retirement that age and its
infirmities make necessary, may
have been devoted to matters more
serious than those of earth,

Ratification Meeting.

The largest political gathering in
the country since the war, was the
grand Greeley and Brown ratifica
ton meeting held in New York on
the 3Ist inst. Letters were read
from Gen. Imboden, Gov. Fenton
Cassius NJ. Clay, Senator Trumbull
Montgomery Blair, James Brooks
and b. Gratz Brown and others
Gen. Imboden's letter concludes as
follows:
1--WE know Mr.. Greeley as il bold
fearless and honorable enemy when
the war ragged between us, and when
it closed he was the first to pro
claim his trust in our honor and
good faith in submitting to, and
abiding by the terms of our sur
render, and now we intend to show
the world that we know how to APP
preciate such magnanimity. We
know that since the war Greeley
has rendered us more real service
in following the dictates of his great
great heart. than the whole tribe OF
that class, thank God it is small
who are forever prOciaiming their
deep concern for our welfare, and
yet, when the pinch comes, desert
us to save themselves. Gentlemen,
| am with you; our people here are
with you. Let by-gones be by
cones; let the dead past bury its
dead let us look only to the future,
and whatever our conflicts may
have been, forget them, remember
ing only that we now have a com
mon destiny hcncefOrward and for
ever. Let us seal the covenant OF
peace by uniting to make President
that man who, above all others per
soniiieS reconciliation and dement's
Il perpetual Union of States, sec.
tons and hearts.
The following letter from Senator
Trumbull, was read:
WASHINGTON, May %, 1872.
GENTLEMEN Il shall not be able
owing to the pressing duties Incl
dent to the closing days of the ses-
sion of Congress-, to be with you at
the ratification meeting called OH
the 2Sth inst, but | congratulate
you on the delIverance from party
trammels which the Liberal move
ment has already wrought. If no.
thing further was to be gained by
it than to restore to the people free
dom of political action, irrespective
of party dictation, much good would
have been accomplished. But we
have still greater reason to rejoice
in the promise the movement gives
that the people, left free to act
out their own convictions, are re-
solved to elect Horace Greeley
President, to purify the government,
remove unnecessary burdens, cult
vate the oats of peace, Obliterate
old animosities, and to restore to
society that friendly intercourse,
without which liberty, and even
life itself, are scarcely worth pos
sessing.
Yours, very truly,
LYMAN TRUMBULL.

PHILADELPHIA.

The Office holders Convention has
met at the above named city, and
the telegraph announces that they
have obeyed the behestS of their
master, have bowed down to his
military cap, and wOrshipped the
same, and have further begged the
privilege of nominating him for chief
gift taker and nepotist of the United
Ring of thieves, scoundrels and
fools.
The Hon. Henry Wilson, some
time since of Natick, Massachusetts,
ornamental Colonel in the U. S. Ar
my, nOn-smeller of gunpowder, and
Senator from the Old Bay State,
and better known about Washing
ton City as the bOot-lick of press
correspondents, and the willing slave
of any telegraph man, who would
give him little puff in that way,
has been nominated to assist the il
lustriOus Useless S. Grant, and to
tOady to him cd Hbitum.
COlfax, "GOOdy Colfax," notwith-
standing his smiles, his persistent
efforts to attract strength by pre-
tending to withdraw from being a
candidate, Notwithstanding his votes
on social equality, his letters to his
Freddy" dear, Douglass, the col
Ored orator, whom Sumner says
Grant makes use of and won't invite
to dine with him, has been permitted
to retire to South Bend in the State
of Indiana, there even to smile a
ghostly smile of disappointed am
bitiOn. GOody Will feel bad about
this thing of being taken at his
word, but Wilson won't.
The platform of this incOngruous
body we have not seen, but suppose
it to be in brief, laudatiOn of soldiers,
niger social equality, general am
nesty and the declaration that Grant
has paid a large part of the peoples
debt, with their money, wrung from
their sweat and blood.
All we have to say is this that
if the people of America elect these
men to be President and Vice Pres
ident, they are the most shameless
set of fools and towards that the
world has yet seen, and will sound
the death-knell of popular liberty
when they do it.

Interesting and Correct Tables.


We find various estimates in our
the coming Colleges of 1872. The
whole value of such estimates. and
of all calculation of strength of par
ties, must depend upon their basis
figures SO, for the benefit of all OuI
readers, we produce, in condensed
form, the following tables. They
are entirely accurate. In 1868 the
Electoral Colleges comprised 81
members, of whom 1J9 were nee es-
sary to Il choice. OF these Grant
received 22l; Seymour 80; with
Virginia, Mississippi and Texas, (23
in alb not voting. Even had these
States gone for Seymour, Grants
majority would still have been 12j
votes, or G2 more than necessary to
elect him.
Since then the New Apportion-
ment has added votes in various
Staets amounting to 40 in all, and a
Supplemental Apportionment, just
passed, has added one more vote
each to Alabama, Florida, Indiana,
Louisiana, New Hampshire, New
York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee and
VermOnt-9 iii all. These 40 addi-
1itional votes make the Electoral
Colleges of 1872 consist of 3GG mem
bcrs, with 1Si votes necessary to
elect the next President.
1t is probable, in the present as
pect of affairs, that the States will
all vote in 1872; so that all calcu-
lators must bear in mind that the
added vote of Virginia, Mississippi
and Texas, plus the new appOrtion-
ments, will add ~ electoral votes to
the election basis of 1868.
The following table shows the
electoral vote of 1868, by States
the popular majorities in each, and
also compares, in parallel columns
the votes of this and the last cleo

but am for having National De-

by its decision. 1t looks now as if
we ought to take back the Liberals;
but l am not for taking advantage
of all the lights that may be thrown
on the situation between now and
assembling of the Convention of
July. If at that time it appears, as
now, that we ought to make no NOM

On the contrary, should it be clear
that we can succeed with our own
nominations, why make them and
