CONGRESS.

In the United States Senate yesterday
bill was presented to incorporate the
Citizens Gaslight Company, of Wash
ington. A resolution was adopted re-
questing the President to inform the
Senate what information is in his posses
sion in relation to theNez Perces war,tne
number OF troops aud Indians engaged
in the same, the cost Of prosecuting it,
and what disposition has been made of
Chief Joseph. Mr.. Chafae spoke at

with the terms of the charter.
In the House Mr.. Banks introduced
bill to facilitate and cheaper transporta-
tion of passengers and freight without
further appropriation of public lands or
increase of the public debt. The defici-
ency bin, which appropriates 82,240, ,665,
was taken up, debated at length, and f.
nally passed without division. The
House proceeded to the consideration OF
the bill to repeal the resumption act, and
was addressed by Mr.. Chitte naen, OF
New York, in opposition to repeal. A
resolution was offered by Mr.. Glover,
similar to one adopted at the beginning
of the late Congress, providing for an in-
vestigation into all the departments OF
the government.

It's Circuld 10 ! in Chinese Ports-Un-
dervaluatS m by the authorities.
WASHINGTON, November 12.-Minister
Seward writes to the department of State
from Picking under date of September
%. in relation to the circulation of the
american trade dollar in China. Con
suIar representations having been made
TO him that the circulation of the trade
dollar might be increased through the
favorable action of the Chinese authori-
ties, as has already been done at Canton,
MT. Seward explains that these dollars
are already in circulation and receivable
at a declared value in all parts in China
exeept Shanghai At this there is spe-
cial demand for the old Spanish Carolus
and Mexican dollar, they being current
for the great silk-producing regions ad-
;acent to Shanghai and commanding a
nremilm which sometimes ranges nve
mar cent for Mexican and eight for Gar
plus dollars. They are of course never
cnrrent at par as the trade dollar is at
Shanghai. 1t has been hoped that the
trade dollar would evidently command a
uranium at Shanghai and have an 9th,
eial declared value, as at Canton and
other % ports, but this has not yet happened
On the contrary the trade dollar is CON
sid arably undervalued at the ports where
a declared value has been assigned TO II
nv the Chinese government.

PRESIDENT HAYES AND THE RE
PUBLICAN SENATOR'S. o..

The demand of q majority of the re-
publican Senators that the PRESIDENT
Shall submit himself to their guidance
under penalty of having his nominations
rejected would be more formidable III
they had power to. fulfil their threats.
But in point of fact he iSinot dependent
on them for the confirmation of good ap-
pointments. Although they are majori-
ty of the republican members they are
not majority of the Senate. A minori-
ty of that body has no power to oOerce the
President into making nominations to
please them. Of quite a proportion of
the Senators who are making this demon
stration against him the terms will expire
IN less than sixteen months from the pre-
sent time, and the drift of this yeaI'
elections shows that several of them will
be replaced by democratic Successors.
For the last two years of Mr.. Hayes
term he will be confronted with q demo-
cratic majority in the Senate. He may,
properly enough, consider now how he
will conduct his administration when
that not distant prospect shall have be-
come present fact. The public is not
likely to- condemn him for trying to be-
gin as he can hold out. The time is rap
idly approaching when he will be en-
tirely at the mercy of a democratic
Senate for the confirmation of his ap-
lpointments, and if he treats the demo-
Gratis with no consideration during the
brief interval how can he expect any
fairness from them when they become q
majority? The exceptional circumstan-
ces in which Mr.. Hayes is placed emanci-
pate him from the strict party fealty
which the republicans might claim " ith
a better show of reason if they possessed
an assured majority of both branches of

The white laborlng men-or rather the
white men who called themselves rabor-
ers-having tried their hands at getting
up a political party and having demon
strated how not to do it, the colored
brethren now propose to step into the
breach and make the attempt to get up a
colored peoples party. According to
Washington despatch an organization
called by the imposing name OF the In
ylncibles, and which has its headquarters
at Washington, is to be the nucleus OF the
new party. 1t is expected that by the
next Presidential election every true
colored man will be enrolled in its ranks.

will probably know when the new party

THE MISSION oFMAIzR.

Years ago, during one OF the period
ical famines that affiict ireland, the
good people OF the United States sent
over with other lavish gifts OF food
Quantities of Indian corn, shel ed or
ground. They might as well have
shipped sand orchips for the human
sufferers in some of the starving dis
tricts, For the average Pat of that
period did not know how to prepare
corn for the table In any shape and
no matter how temptingly it could
be cooked and served NO for him, his
stomach or his prejudice refused to
take 1t in. Those donstions of maize
were not wholly misapplied, however
for they went to the pigs and fattened
them II not this proprietors. Since
that time our Indian corn has become
q ute an article of export to Ireland
though It's chief markets. In Great
Britain are England and Scotland. In
none of those countries ia, it largely
used in the forms that are fayoritef
mere, but is mixed with wheat houI
and made into bread, not because il il
preferred to pure wheat but on 40
coant Of It's cheapness. " "

Comparatively little of our peculiar

A MISER's BENEVOLENCE.

Wright a. Bringhurst, of Upper Prov
idence, died in in October, 1876, leaving
a will, in which he bequeated the bulk
of his estate to the poor of Norristown,
Pottstown and Upper Providence town
ship. Mr.. Bringhurst was at one time a
member of the Pennsylvania Legislature
and was regarded as penurious and un-
charitable. His relatives, who were cut
off with but comparatively small sum,
made every effort to break the will. They
produced exhorbitant medical and nurs-
ing bills, but the Court reduced these to
moderate figures and confirmed absolute
ly the conditions of the will, under which
Sl09, 1856 80 will at once be distributed for
the benefit of the poor of the three places
as follows.-N Norristown, $50, Alb 63; Potts
