xLvI CONGRESS.

HOUSE.
WASHINGTON, May decentralization
was resumed of the bill relating to the
transfer of cases from state to federal
courts. Mr.. Frye suggested to
Mr.. Townshend, of Illinois, who has
charge of the bill, whether in view of the
Importance Of the measure and the lack of
attention given it he would not>consent to
have it referred to the judiciary commit
tee or recommitted to the committee on
revision of laws, not to be brought back
at this session. Mr.. Townshend declined
to accede to the suggestion and intimated
there was no lack of interest or attention
on the part OF the house. He insisted on
his demand for the previous question.
The republican side of the house there
upon refrained from voting SO there
should not be quorum and then the
call OF the house began. The call of the
house and the yea aud nay votes on other
dllatory motions consumed the morning
hour and the bill went over, which called
forth the remark from Mr.. Towpshend
that the republicans, by their filjbuster-
ing, were obstructing the appropriation
bills and other public legislation.
The legislative appropriation bill was
the com mittee on appropriations.
Mr.. Cox introduced a bill for inter
national exhibition of arts. manufacturers
and products in New York city. Referred
to the committee on foreign affairs.
The special order, the silver bill, was
then taken up, the question being on the
fourth section as amended yesterday, on
motion of Mr.. Marsh. The amendment ls
as follows: Tho charge for converting
gold and silver bullion into coin shall be
the difference between the market value in
New York city of bullion and the legal ten
der value of the coin" The vote was taken
on the section, the friends of the bill vot.
ing against and the opponents of the bill
tor the section. The section as amended
was adopted; yeas ll3. nays 100. Seven
teen democrats aud one greenbacker
Jones, of Texas supporting it, and one
republican, Kelley, opposing it, The vote
was then taken on the motion to reconsider
and lay on the table, The motion to lay or
the table and motion to reconsider the vote
adopting the 4th section of the silver bill,
as amended, was carried; yeas 10, nay:
100. This vote keeps the fourth section
iu the bill, thus defeating one of the matt
objects of its supporters. At the last mo
nent Mr., Springer, who had sustained
Marsh's amendment at all stages changed
his vote from aye to nay which left II il
the speakers power to defeat the motion
by making tie vote. but he did not exer.
else his constitutional privilege.

Don't LIKE THE STYLE. .-The Sacm
mento Record Union is IL great favorite
with us. Its news department is com
plete in every braucbI its editorials are
decidedly the best Of any Journal on the
Coast; and its typographical appearance
is really splendid. But it has recently
made an innovation in the last particular
which we do not admire. We refer to
the placing of dashes between paragraphs
in leading articles. This mars the beauty
OF the general make. up--to our printer
eye-and is otherwise likely to mislead
n reader, who may reasonably consider
an article complete when he reaches the
dash at the end ofthe first paragraph. OF
course 'tis none of our business, but we
protest against the style.

POLITICAL SITUATION The New
York Herdld'S Washington special thus
summarizes the political situation: What
j. i@passing here just now is mainly des-
perate attempt by the leaders of both
parties to get themselves into shape for
the Pres idential campaign next year.
The Republicans are struggling how to
find and make an issue for next year on
which the whole of their distracted party
can be united. A falso Issue, Of course,
because on all real questions neither par
ty dares to commit itself. AS the Repub-
iicans have determ ined or solid South,
and the danger Of rebel supremacy as
their issue, SO the Democrats will con
tude that the "fraudn cry is the only
Thing that car unite them. Whether the
Democrats are forhard or soft money
fora liberal tariff or high protection, for
or against subsides-al can be united. 4
is thought. on the fraud issue, and it is IL
make this plain and intensity il in the
popular mind that the leaders have SC
vigorously insisted on an effort to repea
the election laws. The Immediate repea
of these laws is matter of no practica
Importance, for there are no elections
this iall. 1t may even happen that after
an'excitingand prolonged debate. suf-
hcieht to arrest the attention of the coun-
try, the whole scheme viii be suddenly
given up.

BODY RD.-The suggestion of the
Workingmen of San Francisco that n
body guard OF 100 armed men be furnish
ed Kearney to protect him while going
about the State slandering good citizens,
reminds us Of the army that Luttrell was
going to raise at Mnersvile to back Sher-
ilf jackson in the collection of Foreign
Miners License contrary to Federal
Law. A civil tongue and reasonable
regard for the truth will insure protection
to any man in California who desires to
address the people. A man who calls
another a liar and thief from the ros-
trum deserves punishment more severe
than does one who makes similar asser-
tions in private or on the streets.

States NJ int. has been received at the
Treasuary Department. 1t is n beauti
ful coin of the size of the old double

sign Of the diverse side is head Of Lib
erty surmounted by thirteen stars, be-
tween which is the metric inscription
"30g. lbs 3 sc. 35 grains," below which
is 1879. On the reverse is the double
eagle, surmounted by the words ~ United
States of America, 4" and circlet of thir
teen stars embazoned. Within the
circletis the Latin inscription "Deo est
Gloria" in a scro, held by the eagle the
words "E Pluribus Unum,' meaning,
when translated, THE United States of
America-to God is the Glory-of many
one" The coin has been handed over
to A. II. Stephens, Chairman OF the
Committee on Coinage. 1t is patented by
William Wheeler Hub6ell. and is The

In A MINING LIGHT Referring to
the Water Right provisions of the New
Constitution, the Grass Valley Nevada
county, Union has this to say: "If the
adoption Of the new Constitution will
affect the least injury to mining, as it
most certainly will, then it is the duty
of the wokirng m iner as we'll as mining
proprietor to y9te against it. 1t matters
notwhat Improvements the Constitution
makes in other respects, if it hurts this
one interest in any degrees, it should be
rejected. The working miner sheuld
have regard for his own welfare and that
of his family, and not for moment think
OF casting vote that threatens injury to
his occupation at the behest of any indi-
viduai or party. AT the preeent time the
spectacle is witnessed of a political party
protesting to be organized in the interest
of workingmen, calling upon all its NOM
bers to vote for this Constitution as 9
party measure. 1t is to be made test o.
fealty to party to vote for the Constitu.
tion whether voters understand its pro-
visions or not. The m iners Of Nevada
county, and the miners of the State can
not afford to cast their votes on SO impor-
tant measure from any party standpoint
They must vote to sustain the bus ines
upon which they depend for living
mining; and they cannot do that by vot-
ing for a Constitution that contains the
clauses that are pointed out in the above y

How THE Press VIEWS IT.-The San
Francisco Chronicle earnestly advocates
the adoption of the Now Constitution and
finds only A papers in the State which
takes the same side-hany of them quite
feebly. On the other hand the Sacra-
mento Record Union slrenuously OPP
poses the new instrument and publishes
extracts from So papers which do like
wise. Qcite number of papers have
not yet expressed decided views, but of
these the Record U3iion thinks "the
great majority will pronounce strongly
against tho instrument, this Judgment
being based on the character of ths com
ments they now make.n

The SENATE 1t ap-
pears that the slightest provocation in the
United States Senate now is sufficient to
set the Democrats, led by Hill, snarling
at the Republicans, leo by Blaine, and
vice versa. A rather harmless motion on
Monday, to the effect that the Senate
then and there proceed to the election of a
Secretary, was The signal for q biting,
sarcastic discussion for three or four
hours, principally remarkable for violent
euloges cS one party and as violent de-
fractions Of the other. Blaine pitted him
self against Hill, thrusting him sell to the
front in his usual decided and somewhat
sensational manner. Conkling selected
Eaton and Wallace for his antagonists
Between them all they succeeded in taking
UP mdch time, and saying vast deal Of
nothing. When the storm of language
had been somewhat calm, the Senate pro,
'Gsedod TO the election of its Secretary.
George G.. Gorhsm, recent cumbent,
was pitted against John c. Burch, Of
TenEesseee, for the position, and the vic
tory belonged to Durch. The Democrats
proceeded on the theory that ITO the
victors belong the spols," and were prob
ably right in so doing. They did not
deny Mr.. Gorham's fitness FOR the position,
did not deny that he had made very ef>
fcient Secretary, but simply stated that he
had fought the Democracy too long and
too well, and was too sble and skillful
politician to retain such prominent ard
powerful position. Consequently, for
party ends and in furtherance Of party
tactics, Mr.. Gorham was deprived of II
position which he had filled cepably for
eeven years. This is the first time that
ever Secretary of the Senate has been
changed on political grounds. The first
Secretary, Samuel Alyne Otis, held his
position for twenty-five years. His sue
oessor, Charles Cults, held it for eleven
years. Walter Lowrie was in the office
for eleven years also. Ashbury Dickens
held it for twenty-five years and, on his
death, John w. Forney was elected. He
hold it for seven years, was then turned
out for cause, and George G.. Gorbam
elected in his place. sacramento Bee.

A CONFEDERATE BOND SENT FOR
REDEMPTION. = The Chicago Inter-
Ocedn'S Washington special says Sec
retary Sherman to day received letter
from 7. w. Phillips, of North Carolina,
inclosing II Confederate bond for redemp-
ton. Phillips is evidently up to the spir-
it of the times, and knows that Confed-
crate Congress is now sitting in Wash
ington. He writes Enclosed please
fnd 81 900 bond of the Confederate
States Of America, issued in accordance
with the sixth section Of the Act Of the
Confederate Congress February II, 1864.

demption at some future day. ] believe
that law sooner or later will be passed
making them convertible into United
States bonds, This view is founded upon
the fact that two-thirds of the present
members of the Senate and House have
been Confederate bondhoders. Such "a
law would produce vast deal of conso-
lat;on among the Southern people, who
have been made destitute by the war. Ny
object in hling now is to entitle me to

THE programme Of Kearney and the
Sand Lots is to adopt the new Constitu~
tion and thus do away with every Office
holder now in office. The twenty hold
over Senators, most of them are Demo-
Gratis, will be driven cut, and Kearney will
fill all the offices with his nominees.
They will control the Supreme and Super
ior Courts and be ready to carry out their
crusade againstcapital. Should they sues

How TO SAVE MoNEY.--It has been

of the new Constitution that ifthe instru

tho advocate of this should buy half n doz-
en- eggs for bl eakfast he would feel bound
to eat them, rotten or not, SO as to get even

That ADDRESS. To show that the
JOURNAL is not without compahy in its
opinion of THAT address," which has
heretofore been expressed, we copy the
following conclusion Of an able editorial
from the Sacramento Record Union of
March 25th:
The address, however, was written by
unscrupulous aemagogues, and for the
express purpose of deceiving ignorant
voters, and it was doubtless hoped that
It's impudent falsehoods and gross mis-
statements would be overlooked. Such
an address is not whit too contemplate
for such a Constitution as it accompanies,
but the true character OF the latter may
be judged from the kind Of arguments it
has been thought necessary to employ in
its defense.

THE New CoNsTtTUTIoN.-After a
patient exam nation of the new Constitu-
ton we cannot but come to tho conclu-
sion that it lacks great deal of being as
good as the old one. Frankly adm tilted
that there are several good features in it
yet there is so mach that is abominably
bad that we can neither support or vote
for it. We can find nothing in the new
Constitution calculated or intended to
Tighten the burdens or ameiorate the
condition of the poor man. Nothing
whatever. On the contrary We do find
that it contains provisions that If carried
into efoct will discriminate in favor of
the rich against the poor.-CaIdUeraS
