Congress understands its business too
well to waste valuable time In proclaim
ing distractions and platitudes in the
form Of resolutions. It's worst folly has
never taken such shape as this Re.

Resolved, twice two are four" Re-
solved, that economy Is wealth." Yet
the House might just as well have pass
cd any Of these resolutions as have
adopted the anti-third-term resolution
OF December 10, IL IL simply intended tho
latter to be the utterance OF an alb
stract opinion upon Republican gov
ernment The House declared
then, by tho decisive vote OF 232 yeas to
10 nays, that "the precedent established
by Washington and other Presidents OF
the United States In retiring from the
Presidential Office after their second
terms has become by universal con-
currence part OF our republican sys-
tenn OF government, and that any de-
parture from this time honored custom
would be unwise, unpatriotic, and

truism? IT IL IL no more the House
might AZ well have been silent and
spared the country the humiliation Of
seeing two hundred and thirty-two Jack
Bousbys In meaningless council.
But Congress had definite purpose,
and the resolution has d practical Ap-
plication. The danger to our rcpub-
lican system Of government In immc.

Congress that IL believes Grant wants n

republic in seeking It.
For over two years Grant has rested In
silence under the accusation that he was
planning to remain In Office. He has
refused to answer his party leaders, his
party conventions and the press gene
rally. His friends have defended this
gloomy silence on the ground that 1t
would compromise his official dignity
to answer unauthorized questioners.
This excuse Is not valid now. Congress
is the immediate representative OF the
people, and In passing this resolution 1t

The resolution Is nothing less than a de-
mand that the Executive shall declare

The Associated Press dispatches Of
yesterday contain tho following procla-
nation Of Marshal MacMahon, Presi-
dent Of the French Republic:
Paris, Jan. 13.-Frenchmen, for the
| flrst time In five years you are called
upon to participate In u general election.
Five years ago You desired order and
sacrifices, and after tho greatest trials,
you obtained them You still desire
order and peace. The Senators and
Deputies you arc abOut to elect must CO.
operate with the President Of the Repub-
lic to maintain them. We must apply
with common accord and sincerity the
constitutional laws, the revision whereof
alone until 1880 have the right to pro-
pose. After so much agitation, discord
and misfortune, repose is necessary for
tho country, and ] think her institu-
tions ought not 10 be revised before
they arc honestly tried but to try them
as the salvation Of France requires. 10 10
Indispensable that the conservative and
truly liberal policy which always in.
tend 20 pursue, should prevail to uphold
It. 1 appeal for union among those
who place tho defence Of social order,
respect for law, and patriotic devotion
above their recollections, aspirations or
party engagements. I invite them to
rally around my government. II is nc.
cessary that the sacred rights which
survive oil governmental changes,
and legitimate interests which every
admlninistration IL bound to pro
tect. should enjoy full secur.
ity under a strong and respected
government. IL is necessary not only
70 disarm those who might disturb the
security now, but TO discourage those
who threaten Its future by the propaga
tion OF anti.social and revolutionary
doctrines. France knows that l neither
sought nor desired the power / am in
vested with but she may rely upon my
exercising II without weakness IN order
to fulfllI. to the end, the mission In

ERA OF CRIME.
A Man Shot and Instantly Killed with 4
DOuble.barrel Shot Gun.

There is hardly day passes but we
are called upon TO chronicle some
bloody deed or other. This time the
little burg Of AlRiers Is thrown into n
state OF consternation by the perpctra-
tion OF bloody affair which took place
at n o'clock last evening, between two

Meriiman, which terminated In the
former being shot and instantly killed
by double- -barreled shot gun 10 the
hands Of the latter.
Our reporter repaired TO Algiers,
where he learned the following particu.
lars: The tragedy WIS enacted at the
prisoners domicile. corner Of Elmira
and Market streets. and tho immediate
cause Of the affair grew out Of tho pay
ment Of some money which Merrinlan
claimed was due him from Murphy, ahd
which the latter refused to pay, where
upon Merriinan ordered Murphy never
to speak to him again, and TO come TO-
morrow morning and get his valise and
clothes that were In his tMcrrimnn VI
house. But instead Of going to
the house In the morning, he repaired
thither In the evening. aud arriving at
the place he demanded admission,
which was refused by Nerrimun. on the
pretext that he was going to bed and
did not wish to be disturbed.
Murphy then remarked he would
come In IL he had to break tho door
down. Norman told him that II ht
attempted to como into the house nc
would kill him. Murphy. not needing
the warning. broke tho door down and
was about to enter, when Merriman
placing the gun to his shoulder, firec
tho fatal shot, the load taking effect In
Murphy's left breast. killing him IN
stantly.
Merriman, after firing the shot, i'm
mediately surrendered to Corporal
Senegal, and was locked up In tht

money, was arrested, convicted, and
sent TO the Penitentiary for one year.
He again committed forgery, and was
sent back to prison for five years. On
November 13, 1876, he was released.
While in Columbus he acted as clerk OF
the prison, and his good behavior and
pleasant address attracted much sym.

responsibility habitually visited the jail
to comfort prisoners. She wrote to

A telegram from Washington, semi-
Official In Its tone, and undoubtedly
official in It's origin, states that "theI
concentration OF naval vessels at Port
Royal, South Carolina, Is In pursuance,
Of q general plan OF the Secretary Of thu
Navy TO make that place the headquaf-
ters Of tho North Atlantic Station, Ns IL
other port on the Atlantic coast" The
great essential advantage which it pos
sesses Is thus stated In the following
terms:
The geographical position OF Port
Royal makes 10 the central point Of the
North Atlantic station, and the vessels
rendezvoused there can reach Cuban
waters, and the Gulf, whore our inter-
ests most need to be looked after. with
IN forty-eight hours. It is the policy of
the Secretary Of tho Navy TO have our
home squadron larger than any Of those
abroad. because he believes In being
present difficulties ON the island OF
Cuba. While there Ii no official all-
nouncement In regard TO the condition
OF affairs between this country and
Spain, it Is believed, In well informed
circles, that the uncertain tenure which
Spain has upon that island may cause
that Government to become involved III
difficulty with the United states whom
1t secs 1t can no longer hold the island,
and thus part with It as matter Of mr.
50 much for what Is being openly
done by our Government. According
to this dispatch, transparently emanat-
ing from the Naval Department, We arn
concentrating our available naval force,
within forty-eight hours Of Cuba, In an
ticipation OF a war with Spain. The
fact and the motive are publicly avowed.
Now, for the other side. What IL
Spain doing? Is she making any prep
aratioDsf She has appointed Gen.
foremost man In Spain, Captains 0en-s
eral OF Cuba. Then we have a very iln-
portant announcement In the following
dispatch by cable to the Hevdld:1
"MADRfD, Jan. s.-The Spanish 0ov-
ernment has ordered from Herr Krupp's
foundry, ut ESSEN, six 11-inch breechl
loading steel cannort with GOO rounds Of
ammunition, for delivery In Cuba at the
earliest moment. The contract has
been made ut the special request Of
Con. Joyellar. Each gun Will cost
$4,000
what does this mean? OF what use
will these rified cannon be In lighting
the insurgents who pursue system Of
warfare which renders such guns prac-
tlcally OF little avail? They will be OF
service, however, in opposing any inter.
ference on the part OF the United
States; and we apprehend II Is
to that end they have been
ordered and are 10 be sent to CubH.
And 1t is mainly with view to resist tho
United States that Spain sends to Cubs
General and statesman whom Hhe
now 30 sorely needs at home.
When, few days ago, our scholarly
contemporary, the World, insisted that,
we must wait to see what Jovellar would
do, somehow that sounded to US moro
like the voice Of Spain than Of the
United States. II we wait, we shall see.
