THE RESUMPTION ACT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-The advo-
Gates of repeal Of the resumption
act are very indignant. and growing
more so at the action of the minority
Of the House in keeping their bill in
the parliamentary tangle, and will
tomorrow make another effort to
secure its consideration. They
threaten that if the minority continue
to tilibuster to prevent a vote on the
repeal, they will antagonize the ap-
preparation bills, and prevent the
transaction Of any business whatever
until the bill to repeal is disposed of.
They are willing to allow two amend
ments to be offered by the resumption
lists, and fair vote taken upon them,
provided the filibustering is stopped.
In case the resumptionists will not
agree to this, they propose to amend
the rules Of the House in such way
that the bill, us it now stands, can be
voted on.

THE ARMY.

WASHINGTON. Nov. 3.-The bill
agreed upon by the Committee on Ap-
preparations for the Army appro-
priated s4,8O0,O0O less than the
amount asked for by the Secretary of
War, it's total being $25, ,763, 900. The
difference is made in the pay de-
partment by a reduction of the numer
ical force Of the army of nearly ST.
OOO, 900 in reduction of supplies for
the army, and over $s5OO,O0O from the
amount asked for; in quartermaster' S
stores, 100000; incidental expenses,
5000, 900. For the purchase Of horses
the committee allows $2OO,OO0 less
than was asked for; transportation,
the same amount. In allowances for
barracks, $4OO, 900; for clothing, $780,
600; for ordnance stores, 100000; for
the manufacture of arms, $4Oo, 900;
and in miner matters the allowances
are proportionately less than the
sums asked for. The committee makes
no allowance for the publication of
the additional volumes Of the ''Medi-
cal and Surgical History of the w ar, .
and none for the publication Of the
"Archives Of the Rebellion"

death of Senator Morton makes diff
ference of two in the Republican ma
jOrity in the senate, as his successor
will be q Democrat. When this sue
cessor is appointed and has taken his
seat, the senate will stand SO Repnb-
licans, "a Democrats, Independents,
(Christiancy, Booth, and Davis. with
three seats contested.
If Eustis and Spofford are admitted
from Louisiana, and Butler from
South Carolina, the Democrats will
have 81 votes, the Republicans and In
dependents together 80.
If Kellog is admitted from Louisi-
ana. as now seems probable, the SEN
ate will consist of 81 Republicans. "a
Democrats, and 3 independents. with
two seats vacant. Booth and Chris.
tiancy are likely to act with the Re
publicans on all importants measures
which will give,the Republicans ma
jority of four. counting Davis with
the opposition.

THE PIIY,SRURG RIOT CASES.

PITTsBrRG, Pa, Nov. 1.-The case
of the Commonwealth VS.. Governor
Hartranft and other State officers
who refused to obey the subpenas of
the Grand Jury to testify in the in
vestigation Of the July riots, and
against whom attachments were
thence directed to issue, was argued
before a full bench of the Supreme
Court to-day, the Attorney General
Of the State having had the record of
the proceedings certified to this court
for the purpose of review. As the
case is regarded Il very important one,
the courtroom was we'll filled, and
nearly all the leading members Of the
bar were present. Deputy Attorney
General Gilbert made the opening
speech, and was followed by District
Attorney Montooth. Messrs. Shiras
and Hunter followed in behalf Of the
county, and the argument was closed
by Attorney General Lear. The argu.
ment was an able one on both sides,
and the case being entirely without
precedent, the result is awaited with
great interest. The court reserves its
judgment.

THE PARIS EXPOSISION.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 4.-Sunset Cox
is opposed to a representation Of this
country at the Paris Exposition. He
SAYS there is no authority for it in
the Constitution. He is member of
the Committee on Foreign Affairs,
which has the matter before it. and
will conclude the consideration of it
tomorrow morning. There is very
little doubt that majority of the
committee will report in favor Of
making the appropriation of $4,000
asked for. There are already quite q
number Of applicants for the position
of scommissionership to the EXPOSE
ton, among them Governor Hawley.
ex-President of the Centennial Com
mission, and John w. Forney, who
represented the Philadelphia Exhibi-
ton in Europe. There is considerable
opposition to Forney's appointment,
but the President is known to be
favorable to him. Governor Hawley's
name is pressed by large and infiu-
entail interest represented at our own
exhibition. Several applications from
the South have been received.

The Presidents message is brief

at all on the most vital questions now
before the country, viz: labor and the
currency. 1t asks speedy action on
army appropriations, which make a
total of over thirty-two millions; also
1886, 127 for the navy. Further ap-
propaiations for rebuilding the part
of the Interior Department destroyed
by fire, for properly representing this
country at the French international
exhibition, and for commissioner
from this country to the Internation-
al Prison Reform Congress were also
asked. The message is appropriation

ment was in borrowing money when
it had the power of creating money.
But the banking houses tied the gov

said: '.This is government OF money

denied it, and said, ''no, this

THURSDAY NOVEMBER s, 1877.

Illustrations of the consistency Of
the old parties are numerous. Here
is one: The National Democratic Con-
vention at st. Louis resolved in favor
of resumption at the earliest possible
date. This resolution was an endorse
ment of John Sherman's policy. Now,
the last Democratic State Convention
in Pennsylvania reiterated the finan-
cial plank adopted at st. Louis, and i'll
the face of this, they are circulating
as campaign document against the
Republicans, speech Of John Shef-
mans advocating the very policy
which their National ConuentiOn en-
dorsed and they themselves have re-
iterated. Beautiful consistency.

of Sacramento, among the foremost
jurists Of the state, expressed himself
to reporter as in favor OF the repeal

a legal tender. He holds that resnmp-

or he would be damned. This meant
that every one-man. woman and

In the report of the congressional

quacy of gold alone as circulating

and France, are the only countries
which have any considerable quanti-

of the amounts they have in coin and

this very TACT of the scarcity that
makes it advocates fight so hard for
