LA opiIlIOtl, says t1dL Lu6 CU1CllS1OIl is GEAR
that under the statutes at present existing,
REALTORS having the interest set forth in the
petition might legally claim a reasonable OPP
portnnity to inspect the official returns of
voters from several cities, towns and planta-
tions IN their respective districts. They had
legal right under reasonable regulations to
see them after they were offered for examine
ton by she Governor and Council. Upon the
constitutionality, in all respects. of statutes
touching this question, the Court does not
undertake to prevent proceedings to pass, but
is ,of opinion, and rules that, under the con-
stitution itself, independently of statutes,
the same right of inspection by electors exists.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The House of
Representatives settled down to business in
good earnest to-day, and besides devoting
some time to miscellaneous matters passed
two regular annual appropriation bills. This
exhibition of working activity on the part of
the dominant party in the House is noted
with special qualification by the friends of
Speaker Randall, between whom and Senator
Bayard a the contest in the Presidential race
so far as Congressional Democratic support is
concerned, appears now to be clearly defined.
Bayard believes in putting the financial ques-
ton in front of all others, and of pushing it
vigorously in behalf of what he and the great
mass of his party in the East denominate
" honest money" Speaker Randall's policy
is to ignore the financial question altogether
for the present, and wiz the good opinion of
the country by cutting down appropriations
and by making the session a short one.

| Senator Morton, and now postmaster at In
dianapolis, arrived here to-day, to labor for
Mr.. John Morton's appointment as Collector
of Internal Revenue for the First District OF
California, and has visited the members of
the California delegation to urge a withdrawal
of their opposition to it. They all decline to
recede from their protest against it, and are
outspoken and declare that they will do every
thing in their power to defeat the confirma-
ton of the nomination if the President des-
pite their united protest shall see fit to send
it to the Senate. Further than this, the dele.
CATION have not as yet come to any agreement
concerning the question of Higby's successor

and quickly made a pleasant impression upor
all who were brought into contact with him
He is portly and good-natured, but a keen.
witted gentleman, with gray hair and gold
trimmed spectacles. He has leased his fine
mansion formerly occupied by Postmaster
General Cresswell. The Evening Star reports
that one of its staff called on him to-day an(
remarked that in the East the new Secretar,
is generally understood to be "down on thu
Indian" and Secretary Ramsay Is reported K
have replied that his section is by no mean
hostile to the Indians, or disposed to act will
malignant feelings towards them. They hat
suffered greatly by Indians, it was trne, ant
they might regard the red man in some
what different light than the people of tn
East do. This was natural, fol they under
stood him better. They did not think it wa
possible to make a white man Of the Indian
and while treating him fairly, they held tina
he should be dealt with firmly.
