A SESSION OF THE NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE.
The National Democratic committee were
in session several hours this morning. The
members confined themselves to the express
sion of views concerning the political situa-
tiol. Representatives Herbert, House and
Hunton, of the committee charged with the
consideration of a method of electing Presi-
dent and Vice-President, dissent from the
plan proposed by the majority.
The committee were IN session tonight
more than two hours at the Arlington hotal
They discussed the political situation gener-
ally, declining TO declare that the present in
vestigation by the house was not intended to
mar the Presidents title, but adopted the
following resolution, which it was thought
would be sufficiently explicit to show the OBJ
]ect of the investigation.
Resolved, That the action of the house of
in appointing a committee

upon the frauds alleged to have been COM
mitted in the late Presidential election, to the
end that the truth may he made known to
the people, and a repetition of such frauds be
prevented In the future, meets with the ap-
prevail OF this committee.
The committee did not take any action on
he subject of an address 70 the people.
A committee was appointed to cooperate

fifty thousand dollars. Agreed to.
Senator Edmunds Submitted an amend
ment forbiddIng any officer OF the District
from becoming surety upon any bond re-
quired to be gwen to the District. Agreed TO-.
The second section of the bill was then
agreed to, as amended.
The third section, providing for the assess
ment and collection of taxes, expenditures,
ETC., was read and amended so as to provide
that the commissioner may borrow, IN anticl-
patton of the collection of revenue for the first
fiscal year after the act shall take effect, not
to exceed two hundred thousand dollars, at
rate not 10 exceed five per cent, and the
money shall be repaid out of the revenue for
that year.
Senator Bayard opposed the clause
providing that the rate of, taxa
ton in any one year shall not ex-
coed two dollars on every hundred dollars
of real and personal estate not exempt by
law, according to the last valu' ton thereof.
He moved to amend 50 as to provide that the
rate of taxation shall not exceed one dollar
and fifty cents on every hundred dollars Of
real estate, and on personal property OF resi-
dents one dollar on every hundred dollars,
according to its cash valuation.
Senator Hamlin gave notice that he would
call for a division on the question on the
Of Senator Bayard, so as to have
a separate vote on each tax.
The first part of Senator Bayard's amend
ment, reducing taxation on real estate from
two dollars to one dollar and fifty cents on
each hundred dollars, was agreed to-yeas,
20; nays, 81.
Senator Sargent moved to amend the Sec
ond part of the amendment so as to tax per-
sonal property one dollar and fifty cents On
each hundred dollars of the cash valuation
thereof instead of one dollar on each one
hundred dollars. Agreed to.
Pending discussion, the senate went into
executive session and soon after adjourned.

The German Parliament Discussing

The TiIden- Chicago and Alton Railway
Chancery suit.

Governor Samuel J. Tilden, for himself and
others, to the bill in chancery filed by the
Chicago and Alton railroad about the time of
the meeting of the st. Louis convention, in
1876, was filed here, in the United States
court, to-day, by his attorneys. The answer
is long. 1t denies all fraud in the reorgani-
cation of that road, and claims that his
services were very valuable, inasmuch as the
new bonds with which the old were replaced
have very much greater market value. For
his services in the committee he received
only twenty thousand dollars The full
amount still due the reorganization trustees,
as Mr.. Tilden claims, is two hundred thou
sand dollars.
