Wscan hardly see a possibility Of
Their spnblicpns recovering the Hous
of R Representatives which they lost
in the elections Of 1874. The whole
drift Of political tendencies is against
them. Tile President they elected
two yearsago has not proved popu.
lar even in his own party, and, al
though the quarrelis understood to
have been hushed, the Republicans
can feel no enthusiasm for q chief
whom their organs have been accus'
toned to belittle and deride. The
people at large favor economy; and
most of the extravagant Legislation
of the late session was the work Of
the Republican Senate, which re-
pressed the frugal tendencies of the
Democratic House. The Potter in
vestigation may not have much effect
but SO far as it has any, will not be
for the advantage of the Republican
party.-M Y Herald.

poor CLAIMS,
The committee on poor claimspro'
scented the following majority and
minority reports:
Ef,s MINORITY REPORT. z
Minority report Of Special Com.
mittee appointed to investigate and
report on claims allowed by the
Board of 0verseers Of the Poor oil
Mason county,
The undersigned, one Of the men,
bers Of the above committee, begs
leave TO submit the following minor
ity report for the careful considera'
tion Of this Worshipful Court.
First-In the main ! concur with
the members making the majority
report, and think that many Of the
suggestions therein contained, are
well worthy the serious considera-
ton Of this honorable body.
Second-But the undersigned re-
spectfully states that the indiscrimi-
nate reduction made in medical ac-
counts is both unjust and improper.
Said bills had already been eSami-
ned, and for aught we know, careful
ly by the Board Of Overseers Of the
Poor, and certain amounts thereon
allowed, as we'll as many reductions
made. Now the committee have
without any evidence, or careful ex-
animation, takenthe various amounts
of the bills and divided them by
two, and let the quotient thus OBJ
tanned stand as the judgment Of the
committee, as fair and bonafde es-
innate of the value Of said medical
services. For this reason ] hope
that the disposition thus made by
the committee of medical bills may
not be accepted by the court.
AS to the remainder Of the MAORI
ty report recommend its adoption
by this Honorable Court. All of
which is respectfully submitted.
