CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

WASHINGTON, February l2.-SEYATE-
Me-, Christiancy, in presenting q number
of petitions from tie citizens of Michi-
gan favoring the Sixteenth amendment,
comforting tho right Of suffrage upon
women, said be hoped the committee on
privileges and elections would take up
the subject and report upoa it. When
he should become satisfied that a major-
ity of the Of the country we're in
favor of female suffrage he would vote
for it, but until then he would not. He
did rot think these petitions should be
presented to congress, as the Legislatures
Of the States were the proper bodies to
present them.
Mr.. Merrill, from the committee on
finance, reported favorsbly on the house
joint resolution declaring a reduction of
tax on distilled spirits ia inexpedient
aud gave notice that be would call it up
for consideration tomorrow morning
1t was placed on the calendar.
He also reported a substitute for the
senate bill to provide for a commission
on the subject Of alcoholic liquor traffic,
and it was placed on the calendar.

GENERAL ANDERSON.
The Presidents Letter TO Attorney.
General DeTens in Relation
to His Conviction.

WASHINGTON, February ia letter
addressed by the President to Attorney
General Devens in relation to the con
viction of General Anderson and read to
that officer yesterday was not intended
for immediate publication. The fact
that the President had written such a
letter was made known through the SEN
ator to whom the President in CONVERSE
ton communicated the information. Al
though the full text of the letter cannot
be obtained at this time, it is safe to
say it is comparatively brief andi is some
whatin the spirit Of telegram addressed
to General Anderson on the 4th inst. by
Secretary Sherman, Senator Matthews
aud Representatives Garfield, hale and
White. The President is Of the opinion
that the prosecution against Gen.
eral Anderson is solely political;
that it is not c~ountenanced by the
best men of Louisiana, and therefore is
contrary to their calm Judgment; that
the proceedings we're in the interest of
those who strive to antsgolizs the two
parties il that State rather than to har-
monte them; hat so far from receiving
appreciation of the country the act will
be condemned by right thinking and pa
triotic men everywhere when they be-
come acquainted with the circumstances
attending the prosecution. AS grave
constitutional questions may b~einvolved,
and in which the general government
may perhaps have the right to interfere,
the President submits the subject to the
attorney general for his consideration.

TIE name of j. Madison Wells sp.
peared in the LEDGER the other day when
Anderson was intended. This was a
mere slip of the pen, which we presume
all intelligent readers understood. We
have been somewhat familiar with the
career of the Infamous Wells ever since
the war, and regard him as one Of the
worst of the many bad men who have
been q curse to Louisiana. If not con-
victsd, he ought to be, and this idea took
shape in the mistake alluded to.

Hog products have not been so low for
nearly twenty years, and though they are
not directly affected by war or peace
prospects, they have thus far continued
to decline, and now refuse to recover,
though regarded on both sides Of the
water as too cheap, to Gu extent that
shippers never bought so freely and
never held larger stocks. Still cheap.
ness is no argument for an advance, aud
after ell these enormous exports the
market cannot be hoisted ever twenty
points without every class CT operators
and dealers unloading on il, so little conf
dence is there in the future Of values.
The same is true of manufactured goods,
and still cheapncss, ever to the point Of
loss 10 production, ia no argument for a
rise. Why then should it hold good of
breadstuifs, Notwithstanding the large
deficit Of importing countries to be sup
plisd2 for on the largest export demand
for hog products ever known the market
was steadily sunk; and wby2 Chiefly
because we have an enormous crop of
hogs, to be followed by another one on
an immense corn crop that brings better
returns to feed to hogs, even ct these low
prices, than to seod to market, so low are
prices for this cereal. This being the
relative position Of these Two important
crops-corn and hoga-with which all
the other cereals and provisions must
sympathize more or less, we cannot see
anything now in the commercial, politi.
cal or crop prospects horizon to favor
any material or permanent reaction in
values of breadstuifs. On the other
hand, it ia q doubtful question--which
ststisticians and their followers must
decide-whether the crops Of the world
for 1877 can be consumed By the world

Pietro is seventy.two years old, a Roman
