Resumption Act.

The House, on Saturday, voted to
repeal the section of the Resump-
ton Act, which fixes Jan. 1st, 1879,
as the day to resume. The vote
stood LOG for to So against. w. r.
Brown, our member, voted in the
affirmative. The bill will probabl y
not pass the Senate. We should be
glad if it would. We have no
doubt but that Judge Browns vote
will be sanctioned by his constitu-
ents. We have always looked up
on this act as farce, because we
believe that no act of Congress,
nor no resolution of a political con-
Vention can fix the exact date OF
resumption, any more than it can
fix the price of hogs or corn three
or four years in advance. 1t is q
matter which must regulate itself,
aud the less Congressional tinker
ing there is on the subject, the bet
ter the currency question will get
along.

The official returns of Colorado'f
vote on the adoption of the State
Constitution show that the measure
prevailed by a majority vote of II,
4O4 in a very light total vote of 49,
492-a majority of nearly three to
one. AT the last general election,
in September, 1875, the total vote
was over $4,000. Careful estimates
place the population of Colorado at
10000, which would indicate a
vote of at least $4,000. The Rocky
Mountain News predicts that these
figures will be doubled before the
next census appears.

hitting the committee to name
some one else. He writes to the
chairman of the State committee as
follows:
LAFAYETTE, Aug. 2. 1876.
DEAR SIR: Feeling satisfied after
a full consultation with yourself
and other friends in different parts
of the State that shall not receive

Mr.. Ortiz was nominated while
he was minister to VENEZUELA, and
his reputation was damaged by
recent congressional investigation
showing him to have been implic ated
in certain fraudulent claims against
that Government. His withdrawal
simply proves that the Republican
party is not supporting men of
doubtful record. Were he 3 demo-
cratic candidate, and had stolen bar
rel of money, it would be all right
if he just divided it around "with
