CONGRESS-.


In the L. S. Senate yesterday, the ere
dentials of George 4. Hoar aud Eli Sauls-
bury, elected us. Senators respectively
from the States of Massachusetts and
Delaware, were presented and hled. The
Senate proceeded to elect five Senators
to serve on the commission authorized
by the electoral count bill, and Messrs.
Morton Edmunds, Frelinghuysen, Thur
man and Bayard were unanimously
chosen. Mr.. Sherman submitted an
amendment to the bill in regard to sink
ing fund to pay the Indebtedness due
from the Pacific railroad. A meassage
was laid before the Senate fir )m the Presi-
dent calling the attention of Congress to
the necessity of continuing the board for
testing iron and steel, and recommend
ing an appropriation of $4,000 to con-
tinue such board.
In the House the bill approprating
$500, 900 to pay James b. Eads for the con
struction of jetties at the mouth of the
Mississippi river was passed. The Speak
or laid beforeIthe House the vote abolish
ing the board of commissioners Of the
metropolitan police of the District OF
Columbia, and it was passed, notwith-
standing the Presidents veto-years 158i
nays IS. The House then proceeded to
the election of the five members of the
commission on the presidential electoral
count, and Messrs. Payne, Hunton, Alb
bott, Hoar and Garfield were chosen al
most unanimously.
The daily gazette., 1877-01-31

The New York Sun bitterly attacks the
Compromise Bill in double-leaded edi-
torial, alleging that the bill is glaringly
unconstitutional and invests all the
power of choosing a President in one
Judge-the 10Th person of the Commits
sion. 1t says:
The Constitution is herein plainly vio-
lated. The Senate and the House, which
are TO meet at the counting of this electoral
vote, shorn of their strength and their glory
will no more be the Senate and the House
required by the Constitution to be present,
than Abraham Lincoln, when he lay stark
and stiff from the wound of his assassin, in
his winding sheet, continued TO be Presi-
dent; nor more than he who has abdicated
the throne continues king.
1t is remarkable that the New York Sena-
tor,..who, in discussing this bill, devoted SC
much of his argument to the danger which
would resnlt from entrusting the vast
power Of deciding an election of President
to one man-the President of the Senate
did not himself perceive his own inconsis
tency in intrusting the same power-as hi:
bill virtually does-to one man, the fifth
Judge.
The daily gazette., 1877-01-31
General News.

The New York republicans have fired
off their electoral thunder at last. The
resolutions introduced in the State Senate
some days ago by Mr.. Woodin, (rep.)
on the political situation, and which as
serted the Vice-President's right to count
the electoral vote, passed yesterday by
10 to %.
The New Central Coal Company, OF
Aileghany county, mas offered work to
cepted, and mining resumed yesterday
Gen. John Mcdonald, of whisky fraud
fame, received an unconditional pardon
Monday and was Immediately released
from the penitentiary at Jefferson City
Mo.

THE PRESIDENTS SALARY.

WASHINGTON, January 3O-The House
Committee on Appropriation in the Le-
gislative and Executive Appropriation
bill only provide So, 900 for the salary of
the President, and accompany it with a
provision repeating the section of the
Revised Statutes which increased
the salary to $4,000. 1t will be
remembered that the Senate at this ses-
sion failed to pass over the veto of Presi-
dent Grant the bill restoring, the salary
both houses by majority, it is likely
that the provision as it stands now in the

fCOST OF THE CHINESE GO VERN,
MENT.
rom the San Francisco BulletIn.

From the San Francisco Bulletin.
have obtained a very curious docu-
ment. IL Is an official list ofthe revenues
and expenditures Of China, the outlay Of
the imperial household, as also the var
ious items about ''sales Of Offices" a
science in China. 1t shows that the en-
tire revenue of the Chinese government
according to the official showing, is only
about as much as the revenue Of Japan,ye
the latter country has population Of 49,
10000, while China has at least 400, 900
900. The facts are that the figures, al
though official, lie fearfully; these gentry
of China, holding the highest official posi-
tions, squeeze the Government out Of at
least 200, ZOO, 900 taels annually.

Especial Despatch to the World.l
WASHINGTON, Jan. 30.-The Demo
cratic members of the House committee,
who had been investigating the Florida
election, held an informal meeting to-day
to agree on the report which will be pre-
sented to the full committee tomorrow,
There will be two reports, the minority
one by Messrs. Woodburn and Dunnell.
The majority report will show that the
Tilden electors carried Florida on the
face of returns, and that even under the
recanvass ordered by the Supreme Court
of the State, the Democratic national, as
we'll as State ticket, as elected. All the
evidence has been printed in the Florida
case, but it does not make very fermid-
able or voluminous document. 1t will be
probably submitted to the House late to-
morrow, with the reports.

Cor. WeiPs a Candidate for the
Penitentiary.

The developments made yesterday in
regard to the action of the Louisiana Re-
turning Board are of the most convincing
character. Littlefield, the clerk of the
board, confessed to many of its rascah-
ties; but the altering of the returns of
Vernon parish is the completest episode
in the story Of many frauds. The altera-
ton of these returns was made at the re-
guest of Governor Wells to secure the
election of Judge Hunter and District
Attorney Andrews. 1t was a barefaced
forgery, and to support it, false charges
Of intimidation and fictitious affidavits
were afterwards introduced The fraud
was so plain that Andrews refused to ac.

MORTON ON THE ELECTORAL
BILL.

The Chicago Tribune sums up Sena-
tor Morton on the electoral bill as fol-
lows:
"We are the Republican party; Hayes
was the Republican candidate; in the alb
sence of legislation, the vote must be de-
eided by the President of the Senate; the
President Of the Senate is Republican,
and, Of course, will declare the Republi-
can candidate elected; why should we
legislate, when without legislation we
have the whole game in our hands?"
This is not only perfectly ac curat c
statement of the Senator's argument OF
that occasion, and, for that matter, OF
all other occasions, but it is a perfectly
just exposition of the governing principle
of the men who in association with the
Senator have been the controlling force
the Republican party

Reduce Taration.

A reduction of taxation was advised by
Governor Cochran in his very able mes
sage to the Legislature. and is no doubt
expected by our people. The difficulty
with the General Assembly will be to
find in what part of the revenue law this
reduction should be effected. While this
is clearly true, there are some things that
are manifestly unfair. Among these is
the tax on real estate agents. These
gentlemen seem to be necessity to the
community. Houses are to be rented
and rents collected /; people wish to sell
and to purchase, and why a man who
follows this business for living should
be made to pay five times as much as a
lawyer or doctor, seems mystery. The
tax ought to be reduced to $40 or $50.
The tax,on merchants and traders gen.
orally ought TO be reduced one-half ;
and the tax on stations, which ought
never to have been put in the bill, ought
to be stricken out.
1t is little curious that while oul
Legislators are proposing to abolish the
marriage license, the newspapers ofPenn-
sylvania are declaring that marriage
license bill should be passed in that State,
That the evils arising from the frequent
marriage of minors is serious grievance.
and it is asserted that this is a growing
evil; source of great trouble; and that
magistrates and ministers seem to care
nothing for the feelings of parents; they
take the pittance that is given them with
out regard to the feelings of those who
sufer from the folly of youthful indis
crction. We do not believe our legisla
ture will repeal this tax-although the,
may reduce. it. 1t does not shield u
for not adhering to safeguard in man,
cases, to say that young people will g
elsewhere and be married.
