CONGRESS.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5.-SENATE Mr..
Morton called up the resolution of the
elections committee, declaring that Wm.
Turner is bound under his oath to answer
questions of the committee regarding
transmission by telegraph through his
office at Jacksonville, Oregon, and Mr.,
Kelly argued that there was no reason why
the kilograms should not be made public
when justice required. 1t was a we'll
known principle OF law that written com
munications, however confidential, must
be produced in the courts when necessary
to serve the ends of justice. Mr.. Turner
had undoubtedly disclosed part of what
passed through his Office and must now tell
the whole. He was very sure nothing
wrong had passed over the wire. If any
improper kilograms had gone that way he
would have known it. He was satisfied
not dollar had been expended improper
ly. The question was discussed at length
and finally vote was taken which result
ed: Yeas SO, nays 2-no quorum voting.
The senate then adjourned until Monday.
HoUsE,-The committee on the Pacific
Railroad to-day agreed to report senate
| bill to extend time for completion OF
Northern Pacific Railroad eight years
without an amendment except one provid-
ing that the company shall not be required
to locate its route through Idaho before
July 4th, 1879.

pension appropriation bill were concurreC
in. The house then went into committed

The General Political Situation.


The General Political Situation.
The condition and prospects of the presi-
Dental dispute change from the force Of a
public opinion that is felt rather than
heard, Outwardly, the situation remains
the same; inwardly, there is a constantly
increasing conviction that Tilden is entitled
to the presidency, and that by some pro-
cess out OF the present entanglements aud
conflicts, congress will secure it for him.
The Republican leaders at Washington
are still trying to see il the country vii net
sustain them III forcing the counting in of
| Hayes by the discriminating action OF the
president Of the senate with the returns
sent to him
The Republican managers are very
jealous of the attempts OF the business
men and capitalists of the cities to express
themselves on the great dispute, and
seem to regard any appeal to congress
TO settle the question on the principles
OF justice and by the means OF the highest
national authority as conspiracy to help
Ilden. Their efforts in this way have
both delayed and qualified the expression
Of this class Of public opinion, which is
now taking the form OF memorial to con
greSs that. though not so explicit az il
should be in demanding the agreement O
both houses Of congress in place of tht
snap judgment Of the president of th'
senate, still indicates, pretty clearly, ;ha
he one, and not the other, is the orI,
process that will be acceptable to tn
honest independent mind of the country
as it certainly is the only one that cal
bring political peace and restore bushes
, confidence The difficulty of the case is
i that it is Il one sided question. 1t canno
+ be settled rightly or by processes that wi
t be recognized by the country as bearin
authority without electing Gov, Tilden

: cans, who see this fact, sharply state il
the sooner shall we have the only cor
