THE RESUMPTION ACT.

THE RESUMPTION ACT
The contest now in the House is on the
bill to repeal the resumption act, or SC
much OF it as fixes 1870 as the date of re-
sumption. The friends and enemies Of
the bill look for long contest
1t may be said with certain.
ty that the representatives who were
away when the silver bill was voted on
will be in their seats whenever the qucs-
ton OF resumption is to be considered
Without expressing any opinioni as to
the merits OF the question, your cores.
pondent can say that he has not the
slightest idea that the bill of Mr.. Ewing
which simply strikes out the date al
which specie payment shall be resumed
will become q law. If
MIR. HAYES IS COMMITTED
to anything in such a manner that he
cannot help himself, it is to resumption
in 1870. 1t was easy for him and mems
bers OF his cabinet to give thousand
colorings to the civil service reform or.
der, for that loosely drawn document
was apparently meant to mean
everything or nothing as occasion might
require; but his pledges on the subject Of
resumption are so numerous and so ex.
plicit that he cannot cvade them or ex-
plain them away.
DAN VOORHEES,.
1t is needless to say that tho appoint
ment OF Hon. d. w. Voorhees, as senator
from Indiana gives great satisfaction here,
in and out of congress. No Democrat is
more pupular in Washington.
Your correspondent has rarely alluded
to reports OF
CABINET CHANGES,
as those which have been suggested here.
toforc have been in various respects im>
probable. There seems to be more than
the usual foundation for the one which
indicates the carly retirement of Secrc.
taries Sohurz and key. 1t comes in such
shape that 1t seems at least worthy Of
note.
so far, Congress has not even alluded,
officially. to the
GREAT FIRE IN THE PATENT OFFICE.
or to any means of restoring the build
ing, or to the demonstrated insecurity OF
all the pabllc documents in various de-.
partment buildings. 1t was hoped that
early action would be taken on so i'm
portant subject.
There seems to be no doubt but an an.
preparation will be made to ensure our
representation at
THE PARIS EXPOSITION
next year. As usual, some will suggest
an extravaganza sum, and others will Oh.
pose IN expenditure, but there is an ey.
eellent chance for common sense to como
In and have its own way for once. As
We manufacture the mostpcriect agricul-
tural machinery in tho world, and many
other things for which there will be nm
enlarged foreign demand whenever their
excellence and cheapness are generally
known, it would seem that any reasona.
bic sum spent In securing American rep.
resentation at the great international fair
would be well spent.
NEW INVENTIONS.
From the fact that less than tho usual
number OF applications for patents have
been made of late, II would seem that In.
yentors are fearful that the great Patent
Office fire had interrupted tho work of

possibility of change a Democratic ma
jority in the United States senate in 1879,

there have been no losses, and the mod

SILVER RECONCILIATION BILL.
Silver men are greatly clated over the
passage, in the House, of the silver re-
monctization. 1t will be we'll to remcm-
Der, however, that the Senate is yet in
the way and that even after the measure
has gone through that conservative body
it muststlll receive approval at the White
House.
- Neither will it do to forget that the
men who seem to have made Mr.. Hayes
clay in their hands on all other subjects
are bitter enemies of reconciliation. 1t
Is understood, however, that Senator
Jones believes that Mr.. Hayes has re-
ceived revelation on the subject of sill.
yer and will promptly approve the bill il
passed.
