NATIONAL AFFAIRS.

An extra session Of Congress was
made necessary by the failure of the
previous Congress to provide for the
maintenance of the army. But this
particular subject has as yet been
scarcely taken into consideration,
while party wrangles of all sorts have
occupied the warmest attention of
members. A bill has however been
finally reported providing for the pay
of the army, but allowing no increase
of its force. On Wednesday a test
vote was taken in the House on the
repeal of the law, fixing first of Janu-
airy, 1879, as the day for resumption
of specie payments. The vote showed
1873 in favor of repeal to ZIG against
and if the bill could be got squarelv
before the House it would probably
pass. The vote for repeal came main
" from the West and South. We
may expect continued agitation of the
subject throughout this and the regu-
lar session. A joint Committee OF
each branch has been appointed, cou-
ssting of Senators Edmunds, Davis,
Bayard and Thurman, with Hunton,
Bickell and Herbert, Of the House, to
consider the law relative to ascertain
ing the election Of Presiden and Vice
President 1t is to be hoped they
will be able to devise plan by
which the country shall be kept clear
hereafter of any such critical emer-
gency as threatened its peace after
the last presidential election. The
death Of Hon. Oliver II. Morton, U.
S. senator from Indiana, was an
nouncel in the Senate on Thursday.
The usual resolutions Of sorrow and
respect we're adopted. The President
also issued an official announcement,
euloSistc Of Senator Morton's high
character and ability, closing with an
order for the suspension Of public bus
mess in the departments on the day
Of his funeral. The president has al
SO sent to the senate the nomination
of John Welsh, an eminent citizen Ct
Philadelphia, as Minister to England.
Whether he will be confirmed is some.
what doubtful. The politicians say
that the civil service policy Of the ad-
ministration is to be modified, making
it less rigid toward the party and a
better feeling accordingly prevails in
the republican ranks.
