UNITED STATES SENATE.-The extra session
of the United States Senate seems to have been
chiefly occupied with the consideration of Mr.
Morton's proposition for the admission oi
Pinchback as Senator from Louisiana. A
number of speeches have been made on each
side of the question. Senator Whyte has made
a speech against it. Senator Morton and SEN
ator Sergeant have made the chief speeches
for his admission though other Senators have
spoken on that side of the question. There is
considerable opposition among the Republi.
cans to his admission. Senator Edmunds, Of
Vermont, has made the speech from the Re-
publican side in opposition to admission. He
has incurred the displeasure of some of his as
sociates on that account. The case has not ex-
cited much attention because it is old and stale
and there have been no new ideas or reasons
or arguments advanced. The speeches are SIM
ply reiterations of what has been said before.
A move was made by Senator Conkling and
some others to remove Mr.. French, the Ser
geant-at- arms, and have his successor appoint
ed. An investigation has grown out of this in
consequence of remarks made upon the official
conduct of Mr.. French by Senator Spencer,
during a caucus meeting. The Hawaiian
treaty occupied its attention the latter part OF
the week and it is thought the Senate will ad-
journ as soon as the vote is taken.

Ne~ Congress declined to make any appro

language of Gen. Butler means that they in
cial message to Congress on the subject, but it
avaled nothing. The fact has drawn out a
letter from Hon. Geo. VIM. Curtis in which he
states "that Congress has been the chief foe to
Civil Service Reform" and says that Pres-
dent Grant did all in his power to make the
matter success. He does not feel discourage
ed. He thinks much has been learned. He
declares that sooner or later proper Civil
Service system will be established on firm

n Democratic Newspaper on Mr..
Blaine.

Thefollowing article is clipped from the columns
ofthe Capital, the Democratic newspaper Published
at Washington. The democracy of the writer is
evident in the article, but that is no detriment 10
the handsome notice of Mr.. Blaine:
The spectators in the galleries and members up
on the floor of the House who were cool enough
amid the excitement to make note Of events on
the night of tas 25th of February, enjoyed rare
intellectual treat in the centro Mr.. Speaker Blaine
maintained over that turbulent body. 1t is no
exaggeration to say that the event was without
parallel in the annals of parliamentary rulings.
And we'll as the House seemed to know the
Ges appeared as another and different man on this
trying occasion Called in from dinner party,
he was in full dress, and his handsome figure in
its well-ftting costume added to tie dramatic ef-
feet of the scene. We are moving slowly but
surely into anarchy and revolution, and the ma
jerity advocating a bill on this occasion that
transforms our Republic at once from Republic
to despotsm, were fercely determined to drive
it through regardless of form, while the minority,
equally in earnest were bent upon defeating the
conspirators let the means used be what they
might.
This was the body Mr.. Speaker Blaine was
called upon to control, and his frmness, dignity,
fairness, quickness Of apprehension and action
were something marvellous, and won admiration
from even those he had subdued and reduced to
order. He seemed to pass from the rapier 10 the
whip with a lightning-lke rapidity-always
right and always successful-that made the con-
test hopeless on the part of the more turbulent.
And yet all this was done with such grace, pa
tience and gentlemanly courtesy that after the
affair was ended and peace came on the heels of
fierce struggle, the admiration was open, hearty
and general
We will be but poorly understood il we leave
the impression upon our readers that in this there
was merely display Of parliamentary tactics
The Speaker found himself facing a House hot
with evil passions and partisan zeal, in the midst
of revolution, and from high patriotic impulse he
alone lifted it from chaos into order. At times
his clear voice could be heard above the tumult
not in appeal to reason, but in the commanding
tone of one commissioned TO control. And al
though assailed from all sides by confusion
that originated in the ugliest passions, set upon
by vexed questions, he never for a second lost
that control, while some of his rulings reached
the level of the highest oratory.
We have regarded Mr.. Blaine for many years
as one of the most brilliant of our more eminent
men, but on this occasion he taught friend and
foe alike that he is animated by the loftiest i'm
pulses. He sunk the partisan in the patriot, and
it is to be regretted that through the mean greed
and corruption of the creatures about him, he is
forced to retire from the front-from the Pres-
dency itself-o a subordinate position.

New PoLIcY.-Indian Agents have been di
rected to put new policy among the Indians
into operation. This policy is to oblige all
able-bodied male Indians between the ages of
eighteen and forty five, to earn by manuel labor
on the reservations all supplies that are fur
nished them. But this work is 10 be done un-
der the supervision of the Agents before the
Indian can obtain his supplies. And the In
dian is to obtain the benefit of the labor him
self The object of this policy is plainly seen
to be to oblige the Indians to cultivate habits
of industry. If the Indian is compelled to
earn his supplies by law in this way, we take
it the day is not far distant when he can make
a living for himself without government aid.
In addition to this the law provides that no
goods, or supplies, or farming implements, or
any other articles whatever shall be purchas-
ed for the Indians from the money appropri-
ated by Congress until the same shall have
been advertised and contracted for. This lat
ter provision is to prevent extravaganza and
fraud in the use of the public funds devoted to
the benefit of the Indians. The first prevents
supplies going to any Indian who will not do
something towards his own support There
are other people besides Indians who could be
benefited by similar policy.

@9-O Our Democratic friends have found il
an exceedingly difficult business to extract
comfort from the returns of the New Hamp-
shire election on the ninth of this month";
The Republican candidate for Governor re-
ceived 39,44O votes and the Democratic cand-
date 3S,7S7-a Republican majority of 653.
But there were 7O1 Prohibition and scattering
votes which made the Republican lack 129
votes of election by the people. This throws
the election into the legislature which insures
the election of Cheney, the Republican candi-
date, as the Republicans have carried the legis.
lature Notwithstanding the redistrcting of the
state by the Democracy with view to retain
ing control. The vote this year exceeds Pres.
ident Grants vote by 1O,416 and exceeds the
total vote for Governor in 1874 by 7,157. On
last years vote the Republicans gain 6,297 and
the Democrats 3,177. The Republican gain is
more than 1000 in excess of the Democratic.

AGA1N.-Very much to the chagrin of the
better thinking classes of both political par
ties, Congress, just prior to its adjournment,
partially restored the franking privilege. The
law provides that the members of the forty
third Congress shall have the privilege of send
ing public documents through the mails free
of charge until December next. Both parties
are responsible for this piece of reprehensiole
anew the burden upon the Postofice Depart
ment of carrying large quantities of naber-
ing documents until the expiration ofnext No
vember But Mr.. Postmaster General Jewell
steps in between the indiscriminate use of this
privilege and the people whose revenues pay
the expenses of the Postofice Department.
He decides that bundle of papers or docu-
ments with the signature of Congressman
upon it cannot be conveyed through the mails
unless each paper or document bears upon its
face said signature. And more than that is
required. He decides that the signature
cannot to stereotyped. The member of Congress
must place his signature there himself This
decision deprives the provision of at least nine
tenths of its mischief. Car loads of documents
will not be conveyed by virtue of Congress
mans name if he is obliged to sit down and
place his signature on each document seper
ately. If it had always been practiced in this
style, it would never have been abolished.
