The American people give thousands
and thousands of dollars every year to
carry on the foreign missionary cause
which is all right and proper, but at the
same time should pay some attention to
the same needed work in this--their own
country. We know of families in this city
that need assistance, and are on the point
of starvation; sick and unable to care fol
themselves, but neighbors, who are &C.
quainted with the circumstances carry
them eatables and provide for their daily
wants. Scarcely anything to rest theil
weary and sick bodies on, and barely
enough cover to keep them warm, and
hardly enough clothing to cover their ma
kedness. All that is needed is to let the
public know, and none will go hungry OF
naked.

and the strects choked with vehicles.
The advertising columns OF the newspapers
also bear witness TO the same state of things.
The retail dealers have laid in tempting
stocks Of goods, to which they wish to direct
the attention of purchasers, and in no other
way can they do this SO successfully rs by
advertising in the public journals. The dry
goods merchants especially have found this
fact out, to their profit, and they constitute
the most liberal advertisers in the city.

the last Republican Congress while the tidal
wave Of 1874 was smashing about its heels,
was sham, political trick TO postpone
the financial Issue until after the Prcsiden-
tial election Of last year.
The bill provides that specie payments
shall be resumed on the lst day Of January,

more fix by law the date upon which re-
sumption is possible, than II can determine
by Legislation the market value Of corn, or
compel an eclipse Of the moon on Jan. /,
1879, by passing bill 10 that effect. 1t was

Uaycs's Message.

HAYEs's message to Congress Mt the open
lng OF the prrscut special session il in to-
days Sun. He makes number of PROPOSE
lions, each OF them accompanied by few
remarks. He asks Congress to make
mn appropriation of 5000 to pay the
expenses of a delegate to the Prison
Convention at Stockholm. This sum OF
money doubtless seems trilling TO him; but
We do not see why sevcn-cighths of it should
not bc saved. ~ $1,000 ought to pay the pas
sage and the hotel bills. az well as the sal
iry OF the delegate to Stockholm. He also
asks Congress TO make an apprOpria-
lion to pay the expenses of an Ameri-
san department at the Paris Exposition
Of next year; and as he says we spent
100000 on the Vienna Exhibition, In
which the country was disgracod four
years ago. We presume that is the sum he
would now like to procure. This is a de-
mand that should not be granted. II is IN
extravagant and wastcful demand. llcasks
Nh appropriation to rebuild that part of the
Interior Department which was recently
burned: but lac rcitains from telling how The
fire was started, OF whether it was the re-
suit Of spontaneous combustion under CARL
SCHURz's nose.
The main object of the special session is
the furnishing Of appropriations for the
army and navy. HAYES says truly that the
army exists by virtue OF statutes which do
not authorize the payment Of the troops In
the absence Of specific appropriations; and
he quotes the constitutional provisions that
no money shall be drawn from the Treasury
but in consequence Of appropriations made
by law; but he makes no attempt 10 defend
his disregard of the statutes and the Con-
stitution in keeping w n military establish
ment without any appropriation for its
support since last June, and In neglectlng
10 convene Congress before that time TO
make provision for its support He is now
In great haste 10 procure the appropria-
tlon, as the pay OF the troops Is In
Rrrear; but he could easily have prevented
this trouble 10y obeying the law. He desires
the appropriation before there is any de-
bate about the size Of the army; and he
seems entirely unwilling to permit Congress
to form any opinion for itself on the subject
Then there is the naval appropriation; and
here Congress has paramount duty to as
certain the way in which the appropriation
last made for the Navy Department has
been squandercd.
The most important subject that could bee
brought before Congress and the country by
HAYES at this session is not at all referred
10 In the message. The last action Of the
House of Representatives before its adjourn
ment on the 4th of March last, was the pass
age OF formal and solemn declaration
that HAYES had that day obtained
possession OF his Office by false, fraudulent,
and corrupt means, and that he was not in
right or by law the President Of the United
States. 1t was HAYES duty in his first
message TO Congress TO take notice Of the
extraordinary fact thus proclaimed by the
authority of the House, and to resign the
Office which the representatives Of the peo-
pie had declared to boz the proper possession
Of SAMUEL j. TILDEN.

fectcd in his person or his purse. The con-
dtion Of the public service demands heroic
treatment, and the public man who shrinks
from the use OF surgery is wholly unfit to
play the part of refornicr.
In the last Congress the Democrats had
majority of some scvcnty-flvc in the House
of Representatives, many of whom were I'M
cxpcctcdly swept into position by the tidal
wave OF 1874. That majority was crude and
undisciplined from various causes, and it
was unwcldy from numbers. Mr.. KERH's
health was known to be delicate when he
was elected Speaker and it soon after be-
came prccarious. Enfccblcd by disease, and
by the excitement of that contest, he was
really unable TO organize the House az he
would have done had he been In physical
vigor and full mental strength. 1t is
an open secret that the committees were
in the bulk made up by Mr. HOLMAN
and Mr.. MORRISON. who held close relations
of intimacy with Mr. KERR and In whose
judgment he too much cOnildcd. With
all his long experience in the House, Mr..
HOLMAN had but u limited knowledge Of
the men around him and ran in narrow ruts
of personal Intercourse. Mr. MORRISON had
had q brief experience of one term in Con-
gross, and had few associates among tho
members. Both were untitled for the re-
sponsiblity they assumed, and as ncccs-
sary result, the organization of the House
dissatisfied everybody but the favored few
1t had no cohesion from the beginning,
and could not be called harmonious ut the
end, for the elements composing 1t were i'll
assorted and constantly disturbed by small
jcalousics. Special committees did much OF
the work OF regular standing committees,
and when the Forty-fourth Congress ad-
journcd, there was a feeling of relief.
The majority in the present House is about
onc-slxth of that in the last, but it is likely
to be somewhat increased from the pending
contests for seats. About onc-third Of the
Democratic members OF the last Congress
have been reelected, and some Of them were
Chairmcn Of leading committees, without
having made any mark in legislation or won
the least personal distinction To saddle
them upon the present House would bc Il
hlunder and an obstruction TO reform. The
Speaker will be held TO account for the new
Organization, and is therefore entitled to ex-
crcise his own discretion in selecting the
men who are TO be intrustcd with the bust
HISS vi ill' ilNuN'f NiiNu has Elh'uiif
passed into few hands, as in the British
House Of Commons.
Experience developed the weak points Of
the last House, and Mr.. RANDALL will OF
course seek TO strengthen them, and to re-
construct the committees generally SO that
the measures Of rctrcnchment will be sus-
tanned by an efficient working majority. in
stead of being DISTRACTED by struggling
host Of factions with rival leaders and no
common point of concentration.
