that was found impracticable, then to place
the question where it could the soonest be
reached and disposed of in accordance with
their wishes. This they thought they could
best do by forcing IN extra session. With
this decision the country will very generally
acquiesce.
1t is not probable that great deal of
business will be transacted at this extra SEES
sion, aside from the disposition of the mat
tiers above referred to. 1t will, however, be
of considerable political significance. Both
houses will have to be fully organized, and
the standing committees appointed. The
contest for the speakership of the House will
no doubt be animated, but who the fortu-
nate man will be even the best prophet cannot
at present foretell, Then there will be a
general cleaning out of the officials in the
Senate, and some three hundred Of them will
be given to the Democrats. We presume
that policy for the future will be outlined
before the session closes that may have a
decided influence upon the next Presidential
election. So, while the legislative results
may be unimportant, the political tendency
may be of the utmost Importance. The de-
velopments will be watched with an eager
interest.

WHEN the House first met every member
came to the city with his pockets full of
bills for the reduction of the expenses Of the
government, both State and county. These
bills were all started on their way rejoicing,
but few if any of them have brought forth
fruit. The only steps that have been taken
to reduce expenses have been in the direc-
sion OF killing off the country press Of the
State by reducing their emoluments. Two
bills passed through the committee of tho
whole last night that were intended and will
have the effect to injure every newspaper in
the State. One of these limits the compen-
sation for publishing the laws to $50, and the
other reduces the prices paid for publishing
delinquent tax lists to seven cents for each
description. The first may possibly save
the State $4,000; the latter not a single cent.
When the members return home at the close
Of this week they will have the proud salts
faction of having taken nothing from the
burdens of taxation, but of having crippled
their home newspapers, perhaps fatally.

THEY BECOME COP1RCENERs.

So far as the mere question of partisan
advantage is concerned, the Democrats
could not have asked anything better than
the position assumed by the Republicans in
the Minnesota House of Representatives yes
terday. The result of the Republican eau
Gus held on Monday night was apparent
when the House assembled. The managers
of the insane asylum at St. Peter had been
proven to be reckless, extravagant and down
right dishonest. This did not make the Re
publican party responsible, and no one
thought of making it political question
until the Republicans called caucus and
deliberately voted that their party was par
ticeps cr5n15nas. AS citizens of the State, il
may be regretted that the rascals are still to
plumber the people, but, from pure politi-
pursued
It is no longer the Rev. Kerr and his as
sociates, as individuals, who have plundered
the State. They are relieved from personal
responsibility, and the Republican party
kindly steps in and declares that herascality
developed is part of the Republican organ
ization of the State.
1t is humiliating to think that q great
party, in order to relieve some of it's mem
bers from the charge of having betrayed
their trust, should be willing to rate itself q
partner in the crime.
No political party is responsible for the
acts of its individual members, unless il
formally adopts them. No individual can
make the party, take his part and become
responsible for his sins. He may bring dis
grace and disrepute upon his organization,
but if the organization does not endorse
him it is relieved. The zeal of Hicks to save
some of his rascally constituents has led the
Republicans into the trap from which there is
no escape. If that party wishes to take the
responsibility, Democrats will find no fault,
though they regard the spectacle as humiliat-
ing. Henceforth Rev. Kerr and the other
rascals will simply stand as the synonym
for the Republican party.

WISCONSIN LEGISLATURE.

Business Ended-The Bill Reducing sa,a-
ries of State Officers Lost by Expiration
of Session-Few Bills Lost In the Senate,
but Everything Cleared up In the House.
Especial Telegram to the Globe.1
MADISON, March 4.-The last business ses-
sion of the Senate for the year 1879 was full of
interest for the State officers at least The bill
reducing their salaries, which passed the Sem
ate yesterday and went to the Assembly last
preme court Judges to $4,000 per year. The
Senate only had an hour this morning after
converting before the hour arrived for cutting
OFT all business. The first half hour was taken
up IN reading bills, etc, and discussion of the
resolution to print instead of enroll bills,
which was finally indefinitely postponed.
Senator Campbell then called up the As
sembly message which had just came in, and
bill No. 8, Senate, to cut down State officers
saiarles was taken up. Senator Bennett OBJ
tanned the floor and made funny speech of
twenty-five minutes duration. He finally
yielded the floor and Senator Rankin, who was
acting president, put the question on the
amendment. The ayes and noes were called
for which occupied till liza. NJ. The amend
ment was lost and the presidents gavel fell
declaring the bill out IF order by reason of the
time for business having expired.
The following bills were also ON Chief Clerk
Bross' desk and fell by limitations 147, Senate
bill introduced by Senator Burrows, to require
fire and inland navigation insurance cor

ing out the provision creating John w. Bond
the secretaty of the board, and presented a
communication from Mr.. A. Mind, president of
the present board, protesting against the pro-
vision, and charging Mr.. Bond with extrava-
gance.
After considerable talk the amendment was
carried and the bill passed.
The House then went into committee of the
whole, Mr.. s. L. Campbell in the chair, on gen.
eral orders.
Some time was spent in the discussion Of the
bill relating to the inspection of steam boilers.
1t was referred to special committee for per-
fection consisting of Messrs. Benson, Barrett,
Tompklns, Schroth and johnson. The COM
mittee reported later in the evening, when Mr..
Tompkins moved to exempt from the provis-
ions of the bill steam threshers, but the COM
mittee refused to do 80. He then moved to
recommend that the bill be indefinitely post
poned, which was carried.
Several other bills of no. special consequence
were recommended for indefinite postponement,
and about twenty recommended for passage,
among them the bill reducing the compensa-
ton of newspapers for publishing the laws to
S5O, and reducing the charge for publishing
d delinquent tax lists from twelve to seven cents
for each description. These were excepted
from the report when the committee rose and
the House adjourned without action.

CIPHER KILOGRAMS.

MAJORITY REPORT OF THE POTTER COMMITTEE.
WASHINGTON, March 4.-The report of the
majority Of the Potter committee on the cipher
dispatches says: Generally the Western Union
Telegraph company seem to exercise due care
in respect to the preservation and privacy of
their dispatches, and the theft and publication
of certain dispatches did not seem to be their
fault. At the same time they could not but
suspect that MIR. Orion, president of the COM
pany, since deceased, who was an ear lest and
active Republican leader, forwarded dispatches
in custody of the company to the Republican
committee Of the Senate rather than to the
Democratic committee of the House. He had
al:o shown his bias by allowing certain of the
dispatches to be withdrawn. On examination
of the Indiana dispatches, in which MIR. 2.
Chandler was asked by Mr. Tyner to "appolnt
very naturally telegraph officials should have
failed to recognize these most improbable
cipher dispatches to have any
CONCEALED MEANING,
but regarded them rather as corrupt dispatches
That they could recall them so we'll was a
credit to the efficiency of the company and sug-
gests that nothing in the protection of dis
patches by telegraph would be gained from
transferring that business to the government.
It not for the committee, however, to sug-
gest whether any legislation was required to
prevent private kilograms from being pur-
Joined or exposed. or for their production in
proper cases. Considering the watchful, COM
petent and intelligent partisan custody of
the dispatches for fourteen months, it was to
be expected that nothing would come to light
not wanted by the parties in charge, and it
would have been too much to expect that any
message rejecting seriously on the conduct of
the Republican party would be found among
the bundles. The
TRANSLATION OF THE CIPHER DISPATCHES,
disclose negotiations on the part of certain near
friends of Tilden after the election to secure
the electoral votes of the States of South Caro-
lima and Florida. These persons seemed to have
apprehended that the electoral votes of those
States, which they believed belonged to Tilden,
would be declared for Hayes, and to have re-
garded themselves as justified in endeavoring
to defeat this corrupt and fraudulent action by
submitting to the payment of moneys which
they were informed the canvassing boards de-
manded by way of blackmail. The committee
did not in any may
JUSTIFY THEIR ACTION
and considered 1t q gross wrong, but these ne
gotiations were not authorized by the national
Democratic committee or any person entitled
to speak for them. All persons who had been
connected with the Negotiations, so far as the
committee had secured their testimony, de-
clared that in no way were they authorized by
Mr. Tilden, whose particular friends they were
and Mr.. Ti,den himself voluntarily appeared to
corroborate that statement on oath. No charge
from any source whatever had at any time at
tached to the name of Mr.. Hendricks.
Having giuen this much as q forets.te the
report abruptly ends.

IN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-.

IN EXTRA SESSION OF CONGRESS-.
Congress has adjourned, but has not passed
the army or the legislative appropriation
bills. AS consequence an extra session
will be absolutely necessary, and the 18th of
the present month has been fixed upon as the
date FOR its assembling, Mr.. Hayes having
issued proclamation to that effect.
The reasons for the failure of the appro-
priation bills are pretty we'll understood by
the reading public. The House attached an
amendment to the army bill repeating tho
law requiring jurors to take the iron clad
oath, and two amendments to the Legislative
bill designed to secure the repeal of the law
authorizing the appointment of federal super
visors Of election, and to secure the enact
ment of a law forbidding the use of troops
at elections. To these amendments the
Senate refused to consent, and both
branches adhered to their policy
to the last. With the decision of the House
we can find no fault It was necessary and
patriotic, and was demanded by the public at
large, besides being required to place our in
stitutions once more upon the broad plane
of universal democracy. For the past
eighteen years free suffrage has been practi-
cally abolished through the arbitrary and
despotio measures adopted in the early stages
of the war and ever since maintained bv the
Republican party. In every part Of the
country the military power has usurpad SUI
premacy over the civil officers, and has been
maintained in its supremacy by Congress
and courts. In some sections the results of
elections have been dictated by military COM
manders, and where they have been absent
federal supervisors have lowered about in
vested with the power to arrest and practi-
cally to convict any person who should vote
counter to their wishes. 70 abolish these
obnoxious laws and to restore our govern
nent to its primitive condition was mani

erats OF the House that has just closed, aud II

HE blathering Hicks gave the following
point on the cruelty at the Insane Asylum at
st. Peter:
The cruelty that had been charged Was shown
to be due to the acts Of subordinates, and the
State had every reason to feel proud that but
TWO PERSONS had been shown to haze died
snder the severe treatment they had received.
Only "two persons" have been murdered !
Hicks might have explained that the MUIR
derers had done a very creditable thing, Tor
which they have been promoted by the Rel
publican party.

THE SENATE.

In the Senate yesterday more attention
was devoted to work and less to talk than
on Monday, but it seemed almost impossible
for Senators to forbear to express their
opinions, even though the pressure of bust
ness incident to the closing days OF the ses.
sion seemed to demand the utmost economy
OF time in order to dispose of it. As it was,
however, the general orders, which con-
tanned the titles of nearly one hundred bills
was entirely disposed of without the aid of q
committee of five to dispose of the special OF
local measures, which was moved in the
early part of the day.
The bill proposing an amendment of the
constitution for the purpose of doing away
with the clause which grants immunity from
taxation of 300 Of personal property, was
indefinitely postponed, and the bill pro:
hibiting special legislation was laid aside. In
the course of the discussion of this measure
Senator E. ID. Wilson displayed asvolaane of
session laws of Pennsylvania aBk6t four
inches thick as a sample of legislative do
ings before the prohibitory clause was adopt
ed in that State, and o volume zof about half
an inch in thickness as the result of $685..
sion after its adoption. This, of course, was
On incontrovertible argument in favor of
restricting local and special enaotments.
Senator E. M. Wilson offered q
resolution for the recall from the
House of tho bill relating to the
obstructing OF navigation by depositing
mill offal and other obstructing articles in
the Mississippi river, as he desired to have
the bill amended, and Senator .Reaney &C
cused him of desiring to kill the bill by de-
lay at this late day. The matter was brought
to close by motion Of debate by Senator
@. D. Gilfllan.
At the close of the session there was some
talk of allowing both the bill introduced by
Senator Mealey on wheat grading and The
one introduced by the tester committee to
pass both branches of the legislature and
leave it to the Governor to sign the bill
which appeared to him to be the best.
