WASHINGTON, D. G., April "a, 1878.
| think every intelligent man who
read the proceedings Of the House, on
Yesterday, will be amazed at the voting
Of seven and one-quarter millions Of
dollars for 'river and harbor improve
ments." There are certain harbors
whose Improvement is Of importance
to all sections Of the country, and there
is one river to the improvement Of
which, at the general expense, no one
would seriously object. But a gradual
and systematic execution Of these
works is what is wanted, not hap-haz-
ard lob work. The act Of yesterday is
d disgrace to the Democratic House,
and puts the party in a position Of
peril in the coming elections.
It is claimed that an appropriation
Of this extraordinary amount should
be made because the expenditure Of
the money will Be a benefit to the Ia
boring classes now suffering. Every
intelligent man knows that five Of
those millions never will pass through
laboring mans hands, but will be alb
sorbed in laying the fortunes Of colossal
fortunes for favored parties.
| do not believe the Senate, welded
as it is to extravaganza, will endorse
this action Of the House. 1t will not
dare to do 50. Looking at this wild
performance Of the Representatives, let
US hope that Senators will not only see
the improperly Of endorsing it, but
will be led to think seriously Of some
Of their own sins in the same direction.
AS means Of awakening the Senate
to a sense Of responsibility, and giving
the people an idea Of their danger, il
is better that the steal should be seven
millions than two or three. Fifty
would be better still.
General Buffers bill, providing for
an issue Of one, two, three and five dol
lar greenbacks and fractional currency
money, was killed BY a vote Of 124 to
120.
The MARYLAND resolutions as to the
Electoral Count were referred to the
judiciary Committee without opposi
ton, the Republicans having seen thc
folly Of fighting against a reference q
4 respectful resolution from a State.
Senator Blaine gave notice Of 9
speech in opposition to any material
change in the tariff, and introduced
resolutions declaring any such change
inopportune
In relation to the recent sale q
bonds by Secretary Sherman, 50 VIC
lently attacked BY Gen. Butler and
Others, there is likely to be much said
in the House and Senate. The sale, i
the syndicate take the full fifty mil
lions they have bargained for. will put
the Treasury in such shape that the
attempt to resume will unquestionably
be made. The class Of men who dc
not believe that resumption can be sue
cessful if the Secretary resumes when
he expects to do 50, does not lack mum
bers or intelligence in either House
That idea will be ably presented:
From the latest semi-oficial list Q.
persons who may be appointed to th'
Collectorship at New Orleans, all thost

the case. AS Deputy-Collector he ha:

CONFESSIONS now seem to be in Or
der. Last week Elizabeth got great
burden off her heart, and this week
ex-secretary McLin and L.G Dennis,
Of Florida, unbosomed themselves in
regard to the stolen Electoral vote Of
that State. While it is fashionable to
confess, will j. Madison Wells please
liohten his overloaded mind, and give
rs the "true inwardness" Of the Louis
lana count

Comparatively few country people
read the city dailies. They prefer to
have their news dished up weekly and
make grand feast Of the whole seven
days occurrences. However, the city
daily, as an advertising medium, has
its important mission. It is the only
channel through which the people Of q
city can be spoken to; but country
town and surrounding community can
only Be reached with certainty through
the columns Of the local paper.
