Miss Lille EldrIdge.

This lady, who will be the next star at
the st. Charles Theatre, has already arrived
in our city and commenced the rehearsal of
her pieces. She will appear on Monday
evening as Olice Tarcoe, in an emotional
drama, adapted from a popular novel of the
same name for title. 1t is three years
since Miss Eldridge acted in this city. At
that time she was a petite girl of seventeen,
and gave great promise as rising artist
She was then By no means novice, how
ever, for she has been familiar to the stage
from infancy. She comes back to us now to
womanhood grown, fresh from professional
triumphs in other cities, and with the repu-
tation of being most charming and accom-
plished actress. Miss Lille has received
most careful training from her mother, Mrs.
Louisa Eldridge, who was popular actress
when she retired from the stage, and with
her own natural advantages of youth and
comeliness added, it is not strange that she
is looked upon as a star of no small magni-
tude.

New ORLEANS, April 3, 1874.
Arthur E. Adams, Esq:
DEAR SIR have considered your letter
with careful attention, and arrived at the
conclusion without Offense) that you have
given yourself a great deal of trouble to
inform me Notwithstanding the advice of
the law officer of the State) what should
be my duty from your standpoint.
1 reiterate what 1 have stated in my
former communication to the New Orleans
REPUBLICANS:
l. That two bills can not be taken up
together, acted upon together and legally
pass together.
3. That the journal of the House is the
only real authority that can go by. The
Chief Clerk affrms the journal to be a
true statement of the proceedings of the
last night of the session.
Therefore, that journal showing by yea
and nay vote that the rules of the House
were not suspended to take up either one,
or both bills, the balance of the proceedings
on said bills were ire gular, thereby illegal.
l can not take the responsibility to enroll
bill which was satisfied had not passed
both houses without committing fraud.
Any citizen who, like yourself, is pos
sessed of great legal attainments, knows
that the remedy lies in an action to show
cause why the bill should not be enrolled.
Twill be happy to meet you.
Very truly yours,
P. E. BECHTEL,
Secretary of the Senate.

Our Sweet Pension Agent,

Miss Ada c. Sweet, the young lady who
has been appointed to fill the responsible
and trustworthy position of pension agent
for this federal district, is at present en-
ployed in the license department of the
Office of the collector of internal revenue,
in this city, where she has been since the
beginning of the present month.
Miss Sweet is in her twenty-second year,
and is just such young lady as her name
indicates. She is a blonde. of medium
stature, and looks very pleasantly and
modestly out of two bluishgray eyes, Her
complexion is light, and every feature of
her face regular and comely. She is fair
to look upon. and presents graceful and
modest mien in a suit of black. Grief for
a father who was kind and indulgent to a
fault, and who gave her such an insight
into the business affairs of the pension
Office, has made the lady look a little care
worn. Miss Sweet will resume her new
position about the first proximo. The duties
of the Office will not be new to her; she is
thoroughly conversant with every detail of
them. The congratulations of her friends
and the sudden assumption of her new
Office cause her moro embarrassment than
the responsibility she is 20 soon to take
upon hsrsef.-CRieago Nail.

CONGRESS.

House.
WASHINGTON, April 3.-Eighty private
bills were passed.
An adverse report was made from the
Committee on War Claims in the case of j.
and T. Green, claiming about 81 ,000. 900 for
Grant during the rebellion. Laid ON the
table.
The bill paying school teachers, which
had passed the House, was placed on the
calendar.
A motion to adjourn till Monday failed
by a vote of % to 80.
The Georgia planters petition for the in
crease of United States notes was read.
Mr.. Sherman said he desired to offer one
or two amendments, being notifications of
the second and fourth sections of the bill
stricken out, and he would be glad if the
Senate allowed the finance bill to govern
till Monday, and go on with other business
to-day.
Pending discussion, at the request of
Senator Sherman, the Senate took up the
bill providing for the payment of bonds Of
the Louisville and Portland Canal Company.
The question being on motion Of Mr.. Thur
man to disagree to the House amendment,
and ask for committee Of conference.
Mr.. Chandler moved to refer the bill to
the Committee on Commerce
Messrs. Sherman, Thurman and Morton
advocated the reference of the bill to
conference committee, on the ground that it
should be disposed of Immediately, that the
government might take possession Of the
canal in pursuance of original contract,
and reduce toll now charged by trustees
upon the commerce of the West.
Senators Conkling and Hamlin doubted
the prepriety of the government paying
anv money upOn bonds until the State of
Kentucky shall cede to the United States
jurisdiction over said canal, and advocated
the reference Of the bill to the Committee
on Commerce.

Speaker Blaine.
The Washington correspondent of til

The Washington correspondent of the
daily Graphic says:
The members of the House of Representa-.
tives are beginning to find out that, al
though leaders are scarce on the floor, one
OF the ablest politicians in the country sits
in the Speakers chair and directs the pro-
gress of legislation. Mr.. Blaine has had
some remarkable opportunities this winter,
and he has not failed to make good use of
them. Not only did he have the power of
mapping out the whole general policy of
the session in his organization of the COM
mittees at the start, but his guiding hand is
constantly seen or may be detected in the
legislation that is adopted. That the busi-
ness of the session has not advanced more
rapidly is not, of course, due to him. He
has used all his efforts, both in the chair
and privately with members, to for
ward the business. A good illustration
of the manner in which he works is
the passage of the railroad regulation bill,
which went through by the slender majority
of five votes last week. 1t was in the
power of the Speaker to have defeated this
bill if he had chosen to do so. Two of the
Maine members voted for it, and one did
not vote at all. Had he desired all these
three would have voted against it and de-
feated 1t; but he was very anxious to have
the bill pass, and used his influence with
members to that end. He made up the
Committee on Railroads and Canals at the
opening of the session with lthe especial
purpose of putting through this bill, as a
party measure, to strengthen the Organiza-
tion in the West next fall. Mr.. Blaine Sc
cured the defeat of the franking bill some
weeks ago by manipulating the Maine dele
CATION In the same way. He works SO
quietly and discreetly that many on the
floor do not detect his operations.

Responsible for the Sentiments Expressed
sn the Comm,snications.l
Que sasesess Opposed to Eaoansios OF the
Currency.
New ORLEANS. April 2. 1874.
Editor REPUBLICAN,:
l have seen it stated in your columns
several times since the question of finance
has been under discussion before Congress
that the interests Of the West and South
are 10 favor of an initiation o, expansion of
the currency, and commencing our repre-
sentatives in that body for voting in that
interest. While entertaining great respect
for your editorial opinions on most subjects,
have to differ with you on this one. 1t
appears to me that the interest of all who
work for wages or salaries in the West and
South, as well as in every other section of
the United States. are opposed to any en-
largement of the present volume of cur
rency. The issuance of more currency by
the government is, OF course. the evidence
OF additional debt, and its inevitable effect
will be to depreciate the value of all gov
ernmept obligations. In the same or even
greater proportion az the currency depre.
ciates in value, all articles intrinsically
valuable in themselves will be advanced in
price-those things especially which enter
into the necessities Of existence-to conform
to the new standard. For although YOU
may call the printed government promise
to-pay dollar, or whatever you please, it
is in reality only worth so many pounds of
sugar, or flour or bacon. And if the gov
ernment "waters" its currency by an en-
larged issue the same piece of paper which
you call dollar will buy less quantity OF
sugar. flour, etc. Consequently the man
who works for fixed salary or rate of
wages will be injured by the proposed ex-
pansiOn, whether he works on plantation
in Louisiana OF a cotton factory in Massa.
chusetts, wages being always the last to
advance.
There is but one class of people to be
benefited by the proposed change, and that
is the class who owe debts. A man who
has contracted debt while gold Is at ITO
duu pay . ~ Ou Wuou, ny d manipulation OF
the currency, gold is at 100, pays ten per
cent less than he agreed to. AS the South
and West are large debtor sections, that is
probably the reason for the unanimity of
the representatives of those sections in
favor of expansion. But is this honest?
Would it not be quite as fair for Congress
to declare that on and after a certain day
all debts maturing should be settled at ten
per cent, or such a matter. less than their
face value! That would accomplish the
object in a far more honest and straight
forward manner. and at the same time not
cut down the wages Of several millions of
working people. As the representatives Of
Louisiana in Congress were elected by this
class, it appears to me that they are not
fairly representing their constituents while
fayoring this measure.
Yours respectfully.
WORK1NGMAN.

The Close of LENT.

Yesterday was celebrated in our churches
the crOwning event in the mystery of the
redemption. Good Friday, the day set apart
by the Catholic Church to commemorate the
crccifxion, was this year observed with
moro than usual solemnity. All the
churches were draped in mourning, and
from the rising Of the sun unto the latest
vigils of the night they were thronged with
worshipers. The solemn stiffness of the
houses of worship, the bleak and sombre
walls, the vast multitude of meditative Wis.
itors that came to kneel before the image
of Christ crucifed, spoke lesson of faith
that might touch the heart of intidelity
ITSELF
The sable hangings that draped the altar
and the chancel, the solemn chant of the
office of tenebra, the intoning of the sta
tions of the cross, all made the ceremony
most impressive.
In the Church of the Immaculate Concep-
tion was exposed figure Of the dead
Christ, creation of Heaven-born art that
tells at once Of the agony of the passion and
the sublimity of the sacrifice. In St. AL
phonsus, and st. Theresas also, were like
visible symbols, set forth as appeals to the
heart and mind of the Christian.
To-day marks the Inauguration of the
resurrection-the descent of the Redeemer
into Limbo is the first testimony of his tri-
umph over death. For that reason Holy
Saturday is regarded as more of feast
than a fast. To-day the bells again joy
ously peal; the deep silence of the passion
time is broken and the church awakes to a
song of praise that will swell on the morrow
to pfeans OF triumph.

morning postponed the further considera-
tion of the various propositions for the dis
trlbutiOn of the Geneva award until Mon
day, the thirteenth instant, when it is their
intent to take final action on the matter.
Monument Proposed for WasAinxton's
Mother.
The House adopted resolution directing
the special committee on the Washington
national monument to inquire into the ex-
pediency of erecting a monument over the
mother OF Washington, at Fredericksburg,
Virginia. A subcommittee, accompanied
by an engineer OF the United States army,
will go to Fredericksburg tomorrow with
reference to this subject. with a view Of re.
porting to the House on the subject.
South Carolina Affairs.
The case of South Carolina was consid-
cred to-day by the Judiciary Committee of
the House, who appointed subcommittee
consisting of Tremaine, Nye, Eldridge, of
Wisconsin, and White. of Alabama, to hear
both sides. Next Monday morning the
taxpayers delegation will be heard.
Messrs. Porter, Kershaw, Butler, Elliott,
Lathers and S. Y. Symons have

point now aimed at is to induce the Judi
ciary Committee to recommend an investi-
cation committee, SO that Congress may be-
come officially cOgnizant of the condition of
South Carolina. This is considered an in
dispensable preliminary to congressional
action.
