iBY TELEGRAPH TO TRIBUNE.1
WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-It would not be fair to say
that the members of the House of Representatives
are idle. No longer ago than last Wednesday long
list of bills was brought in and it was supposed that
the members had pretty generally unloaded. This
was mistake. 1o-dav the House spent more than
twobours in the same manner as Oh Wednesday,
and about 200 more bills were introduced
Few of these were of public interest. Among
them was the usual assortment of financial bills.
but none of them presented any novel features ex-
cept that of Mr. NewbeTy. of Michigan. who de-
sires the Government to provide a redemption fund
of $40 OOO, 900, one-haf in gold and one-half IN
silver con ard on this fund TO issue gold and silver
certificates.
After the flood of bills had subsdcd. MIR. Fernando
Wood reported from the Committee on Ways and
Means concurrent resolution providing for an ad-
journment from the 23d inst TO January 6. On
motion Of Mr.. Blount. of Georgia, the resolution
was amended by making the frs. date December
10. This was brought about by an explanation
from Mr. Blount, who is a member of the Appropria-
tions Committee. TO the effect that the committee
hopes to report the Pensions, Fortiicaton and Mill
tary Academy appropriation bills, and have them
passed before the l9th inst.
The House then spent two hours in debating bill
10 define he duties and ix the compensation ol the
reporter of the supreme Court. The object OF the
bill is 10 enable the public Ia obtain the published
decisions OF the Court at "a lower cost than at
present. The cost now is - volume: and TINS,

RICHEST COUNTRY IN THE
WORLD

Notwithstanding the fact that the
valuation Of property Of almost every
description has been reduced by the
recent monetary crisis and general
stagnation of trade. it is believed
that the census of 1880 will show
that the United States is the richest
couoiry in the world. In 1870 the
valuation of ali our real and personal
property was over $50, 00o,O 900, oOo'
an increase of $4,000, 000,00 as
compared with the census return Of
1860. Up to 1875 the growth Of
our wealth was very reasonable and
the losses of the war we're in a great
degree made up. Since that time
we have increased bat little, and we
have lost heavily in our industries
vet the census will probably chow
that the total value Of all property,
real and personal, in the United
States will be nearly 500, 900, OOO,'
600 against 1000, 100000 fol

THE editor of the St Joseph Her
aid has given his personal attention
to the accusations of bribery against
Senator Ingalls, of Kansas. The ed
itor says that he has read the report
of the testimony given by witnesses
before the committee appointed by
the Kansas House of Represents
tives. that be has spent week at
the Kansas capital, and has listened
to the statements and opinions of all
parties, and his deliberate conclus
ion is that John J. Ingalls owed his
election to bribery. Ingalls, lacked
thirty votes, and his friends pros
ceeded to buy them. They bought
Republicans, Democrats, and Green
hackers. Some men took money
from the Ingalls, clique and voted
against Ingalls,; but enough of the
bride takers were true to their bar
gain to secure a reelection.
