THE Hon. CARTER HARRISON, who di-
vides the honors of legislative bufloonery
with SAM Cox, came very near upsetting
his party in the House yesterday. He of
fcrcd resolution declaring in effect that
the present Congress has no power to inter-
lcrc with the title of President HAYES, and
if thirteen-nch shell had burst in the
Chamber it would not have created greater
conservation. The effect was electric {;
handouts were very soon placed upon the
valiant CARTER and n gag was applied to his
cruptve mouth. The resolution was with
drawn and the mover subsidized, much to the
delcctation of Mr.. POTTER, who saw that
the business end Of his revolutionary scheme
was exposed to damage if this motion
should prevail. After the subsistence Of the
gay and festive HARRISON, the revolution
lists became more seren". The work of as
sailing the Presidential title is now to be
prosecuted in a sort of fOrcible-feeble man
ner until better place of escape is dis
covered

THE practical result of CARTER HARRI-
SONS effort yesterday to preserve
the Title from attack by the
Forty-fifth Congress was to partially
develop the anti-TILDEN strength in
the House, strength enhanced somewhat
by latent Democratic gratitude to President
HAYES for past and expected favors. If he
had succeeded in the effort, the Tildcnites
and the Haycstes in the Democratic ranks
would have been arrayed against each other
in most pointed way. And this would
not have been all, for President HAYES
would have been placed under obligations
to the anti-Greaser wing Of the Democracy
for the undsturbed preservation of his Title
an obligation that no good and true Repub-
lican would care to recognize; one, in fact,
that he should rcpudiate or repel with

TIE members of the District police force
in their efforts to check any legislation
which would result in reduction of their
salaries, have the sympathy of the citizens
Of the District. The force, as now COnsti-
tuted, Is far too small for cllectual service
in the District and it is due alone to the
fidelity and efficiency of the handful OF men
composing it that there is comparatively so
little crime in a community containing, as
this one does, thousands of unemployed
men, besides an idle and sometimes vicious
drifting population. Amy proposition made
in the House District Committee to increase
the force will be received gratefully by the
people of the District, but they would pre-
fer that the officers who have served so
faithfully in the past should have their SER
vices recognized in some other way than by
a reduction Of their salaries. A further re-
duction Of their pay would prove dctri-
mental to the character Of the force, which
is now composed of honest and intelligent
men, who would reflect credit upon any
branch of the public service.

THE LOUISIANA PROSECUTIONS.
WASHINGTON Jan. 31.--Rumors of
the Indictment of Secretary Sherman and
Stanley Matthews and Others accessories
of the Louisiana returning board con-
tinue to be ciirulated here, and appear 10
be believed by some. In conversation
with your correspondent tonight q
prominent citizen of Louisiana IN high
official position, and who IS In frequent
aud intimate communication with the
State authorities, said that he was entire
ly satisfied that no such action has been
taken. It seems that the members Of
the returning board have not been in
dicted by the grand jury, but are being
tried on complaint and information lodg-
ed by the attorney general of the State.
The gentleman above referred 10 said
that the extreme penalty for the offence
with which they are charged is five years
in the penitentiary, and he thought II
they were convicted, Of which there does
not seem to be much doubt, the full pen
atty of the law would be visited upon
them. He said the State authorities be-
lieved that both Dir. Sherman and Mr..
Matthews were active aiders and abettors
of the returning board In the violation
of the State laws and that the most
abundant proof of the fact would be
produced during the progress of the trial.
If such proof we're not forthcoming that
would be the end of it SO far as Messrs.
Sherman and Matthews we're concerned,
but if to the contrary, proceedings would
certainly be instituted against them
either by Indictment or by complaint OF
the attorney general of the State, as in
the case Of the returning board members.
This matter has been much talked OF
among senators and members, and many
Of the republicans relish the impending
developments with much more gusto
than do the democrats. 4 gtf a
Several republican senators said to-
day they thought every one of the'visit-
ing statesman" Of their party who went
to New Orleans after the presidential
election ought to be indicted, and they
would be glad TO see it done. Curiosity
was evinced as TO what reply Major Burke
would make to the second telegram from
the redoubtable VIM. Z. Chandler asking
him to produce the secret agreement, but
it appears he declines to have any further
correspondence with him.
Some sensation and surprise has been
caused here by the denial of Major
Burke as to the existence of any such
papers, as iC has generally been accepted
as fact. A mississippi member of Con-
gress said to your correspondent that he
believed such paper was in existence
and that Major Burke personally assured
him Of the TACT.
