sanitary organization of the country is to
fulfill lis purpose. the administration, local
and central, must begin by fully recogniz-
ing the real state af the case, and with
consciousness that in many instances they
will have to introduce, for the first time,
as into savage life, the rudiment Of sani
tary civilization"

The Compromise Blu.

Mr.. Conkling's great speech in the
Senate, yesterday, forms theme for
favorable comment with every newspa-
per that is not SO welded to party as to
be unable to recognize so patriotic duty
because it conflicts with their previously
avowed determination to urge forward a
dangerous and revolutionary proceeding.
The Democratic and the independent
press generally accord to Mr.. Conkling
great praise for his splendid and mastery
argument which completely emasculated
the speeches of Morton and Sherman,
who preceded him, and proved conclu-
sively just what Edmunds had said as to
the utter dbsurdity of the argument that
the President Of the Senate had right to
count the electoral vote and declare the
result. The World, in its comment, says !:
Although Mr.. Conkling's speech is
not yet concluded, we presume that the
scope of it is stated in this simple decla-
ration, that it is s'the right, and therefore
1.-The duty of Congress, or the two houses,
Ito verify the electoral votes and declare
''the true result of Presidential elections.
'or else, by an exertion of the law-mak-
ling power, declare how their acts shall
"be DONE" Before he closed Yesterday
he had undoubtedly made it as clear as
1t is possible for human genius and hu-
man learning to make it, that the power
"to ascertain and verify the electoral vote
land declare the true result of Presiden-
"tial elections" lies in Congress and not
IN the President of the Senate, and to-day
he will doubtless devote himself to the
second branch of his proposition, and
treat of the so-ealled delegation of that
duty "by an exertion of the law-makinp
power"
MIR. BAYARD is generally regarded as
the author of the main features of the
bill, and it is therefore doubtful whether
he will address the Senate further upon
rs merits. As he is strict constructions
lst there is little hope for those who NAV
attempt to assail the bill on the line Of
unconstitutionality.

Both houses, yesterday, settled down
to a session of hard work, and, as can be
seen by the published proceedings, made
heavy Journals for the respective clerks.
The business, however, was not in the
main, of public or important character.
The Senate yesterday afternoon, de-
feated the famous Hawk and Owl bill, y
the provisions of which reduced the pre-
MUM for hawk and owl scalps to ten
cents each, and until further legislation
is perfected the price of hawk and owl
scalps will be as heretofore-5O cents
each.
Senator Hopkins yesterday afternoon,
introduced joint resolution approving
to the Presidential compromise bill
The resolution was unanimously adop-
ted by yea and nay vote, and was sent
10 the House. There, il is reported, 1t
win be substituted by the resolutions on
the same subject previously introduced
in the House by Mr.. Ware, which will
be passed by both Houses and forwarded
to our Senators and Representatives at
Washington.

was referred the report of the State Cen

Houses yesterday afternoon. Itdeclared
that there is a balance due the Commits
