The Pittsburgh Post looks at in this

The Pittsburgh Post looks at in this
way:
10 suppose the House of Representa-
tive will permit this shameless fraud to
be made effective in imposing Rsyes on
the country as president, is to attribute to
the representatives of the people lack of
manhood, patriotism and courage. This
vile decision OF the toresworn Commis-
sion ought not TO stand. 1t must not
stand. The House of Representatives
has the power to overthrow 1t by strictly
legal and Constitutional means, and we
look to it to exercise that power.

Washington Items.

WAsHINGroN, February 1.-THE
subcommittee preparing the sundry
civil appropriation bill has completed it.
The total amount ia about 1000, sew
eral millions less than last year. The
amount recommended for continuing the
work on public buildings is about 81, ,7O0,-
900, the principal items being 100000
for Chicago and S325OO0 each for Gin
cinnati, st. Louis and Philadelphia. The
bill is subject to change by the full com.
mIttee, which meets on Monday.
The friends of the Union Pacific rail-
road have determined to mako no fur
ther effort to pass their bill this session.
1t is probable that the bill to amend
the Pacific Railroad acts so as to create
a sinking fund, etc, will be laid aside
when the Senate resumes legislative bus
mess. This bill comes up again as un-
finished business, but the Committee on
Appropriations have several bills ready,
and they will press their consideration as
soon rs possible.
A number of Southern members OF
Congress. together with representative
men from the South, will call on the
President on Monday, to request him
TO take NO action in the Gubernatorial
questions in Louisiana and South Caro-
lima, but to leave it to be determined by
his successor.
Absence or Foreign Ministers.
Attention having been drawn to the
absence from the seat of government
of several of the foreign ministers
accredited here and who persistently re-
side in New York, it is rumOred that
the Secretary of State is about to call the
attention of their governments 10 their
absence and request instructions TO
the ministers TO be at their posts or that
others may be appointed who will remain
at the seat of government.
