The Republicans in the House of Rep
resentatives, under the lead of Beast But
Ter, are contemplating the appointment
of committee to investigate the last
Presidential election, and, strange 70 say,
the Democrats, in q great many in-
stances, are opposed to having the inyes-
tigation. Their policy has been misera-
bly, weak and cringing, and will proba-
bly, result in favor of the Republicans,
for, although they have been robbed of
the Presidency, they are upho1ding the
fraudulent President, and trying to- con-
ceal the larceny while the Republicans
are moving to expose it. If the Repub-
licans can secure an investigation under
their lead, and they are bold enough to
expose the. rascalities of the Presi-
Dental count, it will retire number
of their leaders from public life, but their
party will get credit before the people for
purifying itself, while the Democrats will
be charged witha conniyance at the fraud
and an effort to conceal thefact that they
have been robbed. The Democrats in
Congress oughtto Investigate all the facts
connected with the last Presidential elec-
ton, and mercaessly expose the whole of
Its iniquity.

Z Ex-President Grant has visited Mount
vesuvius, and the New York Herald
thinks the Mountain should have shown
its consideration for the distinguished"
visitor by getting up an eruption for the
occasion. It's volcanic majesty, however,
was of different opinion, and received
{ the General without any, display what
ever. It is supposed, though, that Grant,
the greatest smoker of America, held
pleasant communion with Vesuvius,
which is the greatest smoker Of Europe.

Grange Column.
Under the Supervision Of tho Executive
Committee of Pomona Grange.
Meeting Of Pomona Grange.

The meeting of Pomona Grange on
last Saturday was respectable, and the
members present exhibited commenda-
BILE spirit of interest in the welfare of the
order. We received many pleasant
promises of future promptness and punc-
tuality in the discharge of Grange obli-
cations. Several SUBJ Oranges cleared
themselves on the Secretary's books.
The subject of the purchase of Fer
tilizers was discussed, and finally referred
to the Executive Committee for arrange
ment; and Grangers may expect reliable
guano ready for delivery in due time, on
the most favorable terms that can be OBJ
tanned.
Having disposed of the routine bust.
ness, the Grange elected the following
officers for the ensuing year, and to be
installed at the regular meeting in April,
viz: w. w. Russell, w. NJ; P. R.
Brown, O.; T. B. Lee, Lec.; A. B. Bow.

J. w. Norris.
We observe growing interest towards
the Grange on the part of the lady mem
bers, which we gladly hail as evidence of
good to the order. Several ladies were
reported q delegates and secretaries from
sub Oranges. Worthy enterprises are
not apt to fail when the sympathy, inter
est and energy of the ladies are enlisted (;
and if word of appreciation and en-
couragement from us can avail anything
in urging them forward, we cheerfully
endorse these ladies, and bid them press
forward to the accomplishment of the
hallowed object of the order.

AFFAIRS IN WASHINGTON.
From Our Regular Correspondent.
Z WAsHINeToN. Jan. 5. 1878

WASHINGTON, Jan. 5, 1878.
An impression seems to exist that Post.
master General Key and First Assistant
Postmaster General Tyner are lowing
probably to their anomalous relations
the appointing power being practically
divided between them) somewhat jealous
of each other; but, / am disposed to
think, from observation and inquiry, that
such is not the case. The employees of
the Department are of the opinion that
the most friendly feeling exists between
the Postmaster General and the First
Assistant, who was SO recently a Cabinet
Minister. The officials of the Postofice
Department, Republicans as they are,
warmly approve Judge Keys adminstra-
ton; and, on the other hand, the Post
master General, in his recent annual re-
port, spoke of the ability, honesty, fideli-
ty and excellence, characterizing the
management of postal affairs by Mr..
Tyner and those associated with him.
The First Assistant Postmaster General,
who was years ago clerk in the Depart
ment, and has since been chairman of
the Postal Committee in Congress, and
later Postmaster General-has had rare
opportunities to become acquainted with
all the minute details as we'll as the COM
prehensive relations of the gigantic sys-
tenn, and it is doubtful if any man in the
country understands the machinery as
well as Mr.. Tyner.
1t is little remarkable that two men
of such positive character as Judge Key
and Mr.. Tyner, and so antithetical in
politics, education and personal traits,
should both "pursue the even tenor of
their way" in the matter of appoint
ments, without conflict with each other,
or confusion in the Postal service. But
the huge gudgeons Of the Postal machine
have been fabricated with the olive oil
of Cancellation and reform, while these
two gentlemen work together as harmo-
niously as would Damon and Pythias.
Judge Key, in Difference perhaps to a
supposed Republican sentiment in the
North, delegates certain powers to Mr..
Tyner in the matter of appointments in
that section; but he takes upon his own
shoulders the heavy and complicated
work ofthe Department, and with mat
tiers of petty detail, or vast comprehen-
sion, seems equally at home.
The Postofice Department is still, by
default of few round millions, far short
of the paying institution that was the
ideal of the late Postmaster General
Jewell. The excess of expenditures over
receipts during the last fiscal year were
nearly five millions-($4, ,S54, 1882 J
The following are the principal causes
that contribute to the defect: 1st. The
adoption Of. postal cards that enable
messages TO be transmitted through the
mails at one cent, instead Of three, the

Senator Patterson has recovered to 8
considerable extent from his recent at
tack of nervous prostration, but will be
unable to attend the Senate during the
remainder of hesession, on account of
his feebleshealth. tits said that he will
be absent from his seat without getting a
pair with a Democratic Senator, which
will-leave the Republicans only amajori-
ty of one in the Senate without counting
the vote of Senator Davis, who isisn In
dependent, and generally votes with the
Democrats. In addition to this calamity
which threatens the Republicans in the
Senate, it is said that Senator Patterson
is seriously contemplating the question Of
resigning his Senatorship and removing
his citizenship from South Carolina back
to Pennsylvania, with view of running
for Congress from that State in 1880.
Ex-senator Simon Cameron has invited
Patterson to visit him, and promises if he
will settle in his district to use all of his
influence to secure the Republican nom
nation for him. Cameron'siinHuence has
always been equivalent to nomination
and nomination has heretofore been
equivalent to an election, and hence Pat
terson thinks the chance Of becoming q
Congressman from Pennsylvania is better
than. his chance to secure further honors
in this State, and hence he is likely to
bid us adieu, and thereby enable the
Democrats to elect another Senator which
would make parties even in the Senate.
The Republicans are very uneasy about
these reports. and it is claimed that there
is some foundation for them. We do
wish Pennsylvania any harm, but it would
be q great reliefto US ifshe would reclaim
the carpet-bag Patterson.
