EyTRAyAGANT PARTISANSHIP.

yup coxrRDFRArE HOUSE EJECIING REPUBLICANS
AND SEALING DEMOCRATS ONE AFTER ANOTHER
IBY TELEGRAPH THE TRlBUNEI
w.suING1oy Feb 2O.-Ihe Democratic majority
of the House has ousted Darrall, the Republican menu
her from the Third Louisiana District. and has
seated Acklin, the Democratic contestant This was
dcne to-day by strictly party vote with the single
,xcept,on of Mr. Gambler of Georgia, the Democratic
member of the Elections Committee, who signed the
minority report in favor Of Darrall. The RepuD-
lieans and Mr. Gambler himself thought that the case
in favor of Darrall was plain and ncontrovertible
The Democratic majority, the most OF whom
thought nothing about it, followed their leaders
and voted their man IN.
The ablest Republican lawyers in the House say
that i'm view of the votes in the of Patterson OF
Colorado and of Darrall to-day, all that would nave
been necessary for defeated Democratic Congress
sional candidates anywhere to have done TO secure
their seats would have been to give notice OF con-
test They assert that it does not matter II the law
and the facts are against any candidate. Inc DEM
ocratio majority is determined to seat all claimants
at whatever cost of conscience or principle. Inc
single exception which prevented the Republican
vote from being unanimous for Darrail was tha' D.
D. Cox of Ohio. voted for Acklin.
The Boston case of Dean against Field is likely to
he decided in the same way. A majority OF the
Elections Committee will tomorrow vote to seat
Mr.. Dean, the Democratic contestant, and to Dust
Mr.. Field, the Republican. A canvass of the vote
IN committee to-day, showed to > in favor OF MT
dean. MIR Gambler IF Georgia, will again be the
only Democrat who viii vote for Mr.. Field. This
case will involve the legality and constitutlonallty
Of the United states lection Law. In view Oh inc
precedents already set in the OF Patterson ana
Of Darrall there would seem to be little hope that
Mr. Field can retain his seat.
The Committee on Elections has yet to report IA
yorably ON single Republican. The Elections Com
mittee of the last Republican House reported IN
favor of many Democrats.

for the Southern District of Alabama has been unfa
voraby reported upon by the Senate Committee on
the Judiciary. seems to have been defeated IN COM
mittee mainly through erroneous accusations made
against him. II was asserted that there is a suit
pending which involves him unpleasantly II not
corrupty. THIS part of the story spronounced by his
friends to be wholly untrue. Governor Parsons was
attorney for man in Alabama who, at the close OF
the war; preferred claim for cotton taken by the
United States. The claim, which amounted to
about $40. 900, was paid in 1865. and Governor
Parsons became of the sureties on the bondgven
by the claimant to refund the money if 1t
should ever appear that 1t had been improperly
paid. No such assertion has ever been made on the
part of the Government and no steps to recover the
money have ever been taken. No suit, 1t Is posi-
lively asserted, is pending. or has been begun
Governor Parsons not an applicant for the
place rendered him. but asked by the President
to accept It, His friends are very confident that he
will be confirmed by the Senate in spite of the adj
verse report of the committee. Those Republicans
who have thus far supported the Presidents nomi-
nations when they have been opposed by majority
of tho party will vote for Governor Parsonss con-
frmation, as will also several Others, led 1t is
said, by Senator Blaine. The Governors friends
also assert that he will receive the votes of all the
Democrats with perhaps one exception.

An ingenious attempt was made yesterday in
the public market to steal handsome and
diminutive black-and-tan terrier. When the
back of the proprietress of the dog was
turned a man, attending a stall, slipped bas-
ket over the animal. and then cleared out, leav-
ing his stall and it's belongings. including the
basket, in charge of boy, who knew not the
contents of the latter. The dog was soon
missed, and the owner secured the market for
two hours in search of the hidden treasure
calling in the aid of policeman and would
have raised his satanic majesty, had he been a
dog fancier. One of the market women. hav-
ing seen the dog concealed informed the owner
of the fact. The basket was overturned and
the dog leaped forth with satisfaction wagging
from every one of his pores, but it would not
! have been safe for the would-be thief to have
been around just then, if pair of flashing
female eyes could have beheld him.

BTSINESs PROSPECTS.

The tolls collected on the canals from the
opening Of navigation to the end of May
amounted to $l9s,97S 9S against $50, 1913 70
10 the same date last year. IL Il true that
navigation has continued six weeks in 1878
against only three weeks in 1877, but this
fact by no means explains the difference in re-
ceipts, for during the last three weeks alone
the tolls have amounted to $114,02S 81. an
inGEease of over 81 per cent III comparison
with receipts during the same weeks last year
1t might have been expected, too, that the
movement would have been relatively smaller
in May this year because the canals had
been open since the middle Of April. AS
the rates are the same that Were charged last
wear, the collections indicate q remarkable
increase in the quantity of freight transported
by canal, and this increase occurs notwith-
standing a very heavy movement by rail,
since the reduction Of rail 1reights to the
lowest point. A large part Of the increase.
both In rail and in canal shipments, is of
grain, but the published statements show that
there has also been great advance III the
quantity of other products moved by canal,
and particularly in the quantity of goods
shipped westward.
prove conclusyely that the movement and ex-
change of products are unusually large, how
does it happen that there is general complaint
of the condition Of businessq 1t cannot be
said that this complaint is entirely grOundless
The closing of mills, factories and mines, the
failure of many substantial firms, the accu-
mutation of idle funds and the extreme low
rate of interest, the very low prices obtained
for products Of domestic manufacture, the
shrinkage in imports from abroad, and
the almost universal decline in payments
made through the clearing houses of the
chief commercial and manufacturing cities, all
show that business is still IN a condition far
from satisfactory. Yet the quantities of goods
TRANSPORTED indicate that very large traffic
is in progress This apparent contradiction is
in part due to the fact that prices are very
low, and that profits are very slender. even
where actual loss is not sustained in order to
realize upon stocks on hand. The great shrink
age in prices has its effect upon every business
record which deals with values of goods pur-
chased or sold, exported or imported, OF with
amounts paid, and, with an exchange actually
exceeding that of last year in quantity Of pro-
ducts there nevertheless results an apparent
loss in amount of business done, measured by
values. For instance, the value OF foreign
goods imported at New-York since January
has been only $122, 100000, against about
S142 900, 900 TO the corresponding date last
year, a loss of over 13 per cent. But 1t APP
