How COnOver was Counted Ont.

Senator Conoyer, of South Carolina
who was candidate for the lower
house Of Congress at the last election,
is speaking ofthe method of counting
votes down there, says that the count
of votes for the Legislature was COM
pleted first, and, in order to deprive
several Republicans Of their seats, the
Democratic Board established test
OF informality Of ballots, and under that
test threw out large number, by
which the election ofsevcrsl Democrats
Was assured. When they came to
count the votes for Congressman the
same test was applied, but when the
Democrats discovered that it would
elect him to Congress they reconsider
ed their action, and counted the Legis-
larive ballots over again, and restored
to several Republican candidates fol-
the Legislature their majorities but
counted him out.

A Large Deficiency.

The Secretary of the Treasury has
addressed letter to the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means, stating that
there will probably be deficit in the
revenues of the Government the next
fiscal year Of $27 900, 600. and asking
authority to issue four per cent. bonds
to cover such deficiency. Notwith-
sanding this unfaverable showing.
congress has reduced the tar GU tobac-
90 from "a to Is cents pound, which
it il estimated will reduce the reveu-
ues ofthe year about fifteen. millions.
50 that there will be deficiency Of
$42, 100000 to be provided for. This
action 90 the part of congress is incom-
,prehensible. There was 40 general de-
mand for a reduction Of the tobacco tax
nor was it supposed that the bill could
possibly pass. The Secretary of the
Treasury and the Commissioner Of In
ternal Revenue: were opposed to it and
pointed out the serious: results which
would follow its passage. But the
democrats 10 both branches Of congress
pushed the bill through in spite Of all
opposition.

The Right Kind OF Talk.

The Hon. Zachariah Chambers Re
publicanism is as stalwart as ever it was.
His speech to the caucus which nomi-
mated him for Senator was filled with
hostility for Solid Southern statesmen
and methods. He declared that the
South wss solid for reputation. and
for millions of claims. and was kept
solid by murder, outrage, shot-guns
and whips. Congress, with a Demo-
cratic majority, is a rebel Congress, he
says, because the caucus rules and the
rebels control the caucus. For 1880,
be seems to have decided that one of
three candidates will lead the Repub-
licans, for he says: II predict, my fellow
citizens, that, whether you nominate
for your standard bearer in 1880 the
man whom they didn't love and did
hate, and yet dear to the United States
Grant; or whether you nominate that
gallant standard bearer, Blaine, of
Maine; or whether you nominate John
Sherman, the present Secretary Of the
Treasury, that you aud I will march
shoulder t. shoulder to rescue from the
grasp of rebel generals and rebel brig
adiers the capital of the Nation"

overthrow of the rebellion. Secretary

honorable man He lives very pure,
clean Iife-above reproach and is
much given t. hard work. His mind
is CONSTANT taken up with the affairs
OF State, which he handles with mas

John Sherman is not theorist, but
practical statesman. There is no man
in the Republican party that would
bring greater strength to the party 10
1880. AS to the Grant movement,
It's strength is by no means to be des-

important Pension Amendment.

WASHINGTON, Feb .2l.--The Sen
ate Committee on Pensions, this moru-
ing agreed upon and reported 40 i'm
porsaut amendment to, the bill, appro-
priating money to pay arrears Of
tensions, which will be" accepted by
the Committee on Appropriateness, and
probably become law. It provides
for the appointment by the Secretary
Of the Interior, Of q corps Of surgeons,
sixty in number, who shall receive a
salary of s., 500 and expenses, part of
whom shall be skilled in law, whose
duty it 81 all be to examine into the
condition Of every pensioners on the
rolls, take testimony, and report
whether such pens,oner is entitled to
a pension, and if so. whether the pen
soner is receiving pension to which he
o. she is entitled under the law. Ali
{ is is to be done with sview Of read
justing the entire pension list. aud
elimnation of those who are .:>unwortL =.
It is estimated that there are thou :
sands offrandulent pensioners on the
rolls; that there are macy who get
more than hey are entitled to under
the law. and it is believed that sever;
million dollars a year will be saved by
this examination, which is to take
place before any money is paid out
under the arrears of pensions act, and
no claim is to be paid until the case of
the claimants has been examined into.
Also, hereafter no pension OF any
description is to be granted until the
application has been Investigated and
passed upon by board 81 surgeons.
Heretofore pensions have .besnIgranted
almost alone upon ex-parte evidence,
and often by the family physician.
The adoption of this bill will reduce

The following is significant extract:
This Chinese question connects it.

labor question. Their immigration is
encouraged BY some openly, by many
secretly, because their labor is cheap
The experiment is most dangerous
one. 10 a republic where the man
who works carries ballot.in his band
it will not do for capitalized wealth to
legislate for cheap labor. We do not
want cheap labor. We do not want
dear labor. We want labor at fair
rates-at rates that shall give the labor
or his fair share and capital its fair
share. If more is sought by capital,
less will 10 the end be realized. There
is not laboriog mau. from the Penob-
scott to the Sacramento, who would not
