SENATOR MoRToN's letter on the
last finance bill and the President
veto, is SO remarkably mild in tone and
meagre in matter, that we are at loss
to understand the motive for its publ
cation. He says that most of the
friends of the bill were In favor of free
banking. Yet the bill did not embrace
that feature. He emphasizes the views
taken In these columns, concerning the
bad effect Of centralizing all the bank
reserves at New York. In this respect
the Senator need not regret the de-
funct bill, because the new one
reported by the Committee a few
days ago, goes much further in
regard to both reserves and redcmp-
ton. 1t also gives free national bank
ing, at least to the extent of S164, 000,-
600. If the new imitation bill runs the
gauntlet of the White House, Manager
Morton will have his revenge of Conk-
ling. The statement that the ''practi-
cable time" for resuming specie pay
ments is as open a question now as in
1869, is an awkward confession from
Republican leader. Five years frittered
away, enormous taxes collected, and
the country as far from solid basis as
ever; at this rate of progress, how
long would it take the Republican
party to redeem its pledges?

AND now, in Lauderdale, they talk
of regulating on their own hook. The
Ripley Netus states that "a small por-
ton of the citizens of the county" met
there last week, and, after good deal
of wrangling, adopted the following
preamble and resolutions:
Whereas, the citizens of Lauderdale
have been sued In the Federal Court of
Memphis, on six Of the bonds issued by
Lauderdale county to he Paducah and
Memphis Railroad Company; and
Whereas, there is much diversity of
opinion among our citizens as to the
liability of the county on said bonds
in fact of the entire subscription of the
county to said railroad company; it is
therefore
Resolved, that the Quarterly County
Court of this county be requested TO
meet at as early day as practicable, in
special session, to consider the matter
of said suit, employ counsel TO defend
the same, and take such other meas
ures as they may deem advisable In the
present exigency Of the case.
The Nelgs reviews the situation elab-
orately, and winds up With: I'VE are
in honor bound to pay these bonds and
Will legally be compelled to do so, and
the less litigation we have about the
matter, the smaller the amount we will
have 10 pay, and the sooner We will at
tain the object desired" Evidently,
the Reputation heresy has not, as yet,
obtained any stronghold in Lauder
dale. Perhaps the parties who manipu-
lated that meeting had better try the
three per cent basis. 1t sounds SO
much more honest and respectable.

THE WORK BEFORE CONGRESS.
Danger OF a Very Long SessiOu-The
Most Important Bills yet to be Con.
sidered-Views OF Leading Members
of the House on the Time Of Adj
jOurnmenf.

tournament
Washington Correspondence MAY s. of the
New York Tribune.
a survey of what has already been
done by Congress, and an examination
of the work still on the calendar, leads
to the conclusion that unless there is
greater dispatch In the transaction of
business the session will extend far
into the summer. This is the view
taken by the members of the Appropri-
atlons and Ways and Means Commit
tees of the House, which are the most
important and best informed commit
tees regarding the business of Con-
gress. Not a member of either COM
mittee, 80 far as is known, believes that
the session will close before the first of
July, and all admit that within reason
able memory the useful work of Con-
gress never has been 80 far IN arrears.
Mr.. Wheeler of the Appropriation
Committee, one of the oldest and most
experienced members of the House,
says that nothing but the rays of mid
summer sun will drive this Congress
from the capital. He never has seen so
much work to so little purpose. He
says that scarcely practical measure
has been passed at the present session,
although FIVE months have passed
since it convened. Of the twelve appro-
priation bills, only one-the fortifica-
ton bill-has become law. The army
and navy bills are between the two
Houses ON disagreeing votes, and the
Legislative, executive, and Judiciary bill,
upon which the House spent three
months, has not yet been taken up IN
the Senate. The consideration of the
Indian bill in committee has but just
begun, although political and financial
speeches under its cover have been
made. Mr.. Wheeler says that the sun
dry civil bill will require more careful
attention than usual, on account of the
necessity for retrenchment IN public
expenditures; although the bill is al
ways regarded as the most troublesome
and laborious of the series.
Mr.. Wheeler says that many trouble
some questions yet remain besides the
appropriation bills, The currency de-
bate viii probably require some time,
and the discussion on the proposition
to repeal the custom-house moieties will
probably be long in both Houses, as the
system is a powerful lever in the hands
of the Administration, and will not be
surrendered without fight. Of no less
Importance will be the debate on the
WAYS and Means @ mmittee's bill re-
pealing the Sanborn contract law. In
addition to these measures, the civil
rights bill is before the House, and the
Judiciary Committee also haye the
Geneva award TO dispose OF, besides the
cases of three United States judges On
impeachment charges, and the bank
rupt bill.

THE Washington correspondent OF
the Louisville Courier-JourndI tele-
graphed to that paper on Sunday
night:
The Arkansas question bids fair just
now to come to the front for lively
debate in Congress What course the
President viii now pursue Is not
known. OF course he viii not be much
pleased that Gov. Baxter has reject
ed his scheme of settlement; but
as Baxter has been recognized as
Governor over a year and half by the
State Legislature, by the State Su-
preme Court, by the President, by the
House of Representatives in admitting
Congressman, and by the United States
Senate in admitting Mr.. Dorsey, it is
hard to see how the President can re-
fuse to respect the decision of the Legis-
lature to the same effect. He may at
tempt to give Brooks a moral advan-
tage by recognizing him before the
Legislature can act on the contest; and
this is feared by Baxter's friends here.
All this difficulty grows out of the
fact that Baxter is expected to give the
people of Arkansas a fair election,
which they have not had since the re-
construction fraud of 1867. Such an
election would haul Clayton from the
Senate, and his only chance is by turn
ing out Baxter and putting in Gov
ernor who will manipulate legislature
in his interest. All the blood that has
been shed IN Arkansas is to keep this
fellow in the Senate, and this is well
understood by the politicians of both
parties. The contest creates a very
lively interest in Washington. The Ad-
ministration is very anxious TO do
what Senator Clayton desires; but the
law and facts are much in their way.

SENATOR Carl Schurz authorizes the
statement in the ST. Louis Republican
that he wishes to be sent back to the
Senate: but that if the people OF Mis-
souri, do not wish to send him back, he
viii be ''at home at the editorial rooms
of the Westliche Post after March 4th
next" He also puts forth some I'M
practicable new party notions. We
have a high regard for the capacities
of Senator Schurz, but his forte
does not lie in making OF
new parties. He has been at
the business for some years now, IN
Missouri, and the nation at large, with
out any show of result. He even took
hand here In Tennessee, inspiring an
eyanescent reform" movement, the
leading spirits in which have long since
gone over to the Republican party that
Schurz left in disgust. These facts
must be disheartening to the great
American German. If he wishes to
represent the people of Missouri IN the
Senate, let him place himself in line
with the masses of that State. Let
him join the struggles of the present,
instead of waiting forthe political mil
lennium of the future.

sojourns at the penitentiary for spurn-

be remembered that the recent negro
convention pledged its members to
raise enough money to carry Gallo

FROM the time the Changers got a
good foot-hold in East Tennessee until
within few days ago, no paper patted
them on the back harder and oftener
than the JoResborO Herald and Tribune.
But the Herald and Tribune is unhappy
in its mind now, and expects nothing
from the political demagogues who are
attempting to make this farmers
movement a stepping stone to political
pewer." The fact is, those fellows
with the hayseed in their hair have
wickedly held convention and nomi-
mated candidates for every county Of
fice-this, too, with full knowledge of
the fact that the Union element, both
Conservative and Republican, has a
large majority in the county. Seve-
raj of the candidates are not of said
element" hence the wall from the
