GONGRESS

The backward state of business in Con-
gress has given rise to fear that there will
be no agreement of the two houses on sew
eral very important measures, and that there
! fore an extra session will be inevitable.
| There is certainly ground for such fear,
but yet there is some hope that an agreement
| will be reached by which such contingency
can be avoided. A Washington correspond
ent who is usually we'll informed, predicts
that compromise, or series of compro-
misses, will be affected, and that they will be
pretty much as follows: ~~
The Senate will not allow the supervisors
| law to be repealed under any circumstances.
1t is thought that the Democrats viii concede
| that much in the end rather than face an extra
| session. The Senate will not insist upon strik-
ing out OF the army appropriation bill the
clause forbidding the use of troops for cleo
lions. The House will make no issue over the
| killing of the army reorganization scheme It
Ii dead subject. The Senate will not insist
| upon the Brazilian mail subsidy, as the House
| will reject it. The Senate will also concede
the repeal of the test oath for jurors. We're it
| not for new determination upon the
part of the Republican Senators, there
would not be much of any doubt about the
disposal of the regular business pending be-
| tween now and the 4th of March. The Repub-
| llcan Senators intend to bring up the Butler
| Corbin case, and have announced their inten-
| ton OF pushing this to vote. If this is dene
| the Democratic Senators say that they will not
allow vote to be taken if they have to occupy
all the remaining time between now and the
4th Of March They simply say that they will
| not allow a vote to be taken.
We certainly trust that there will not be
any necessity for an extra session, but if the
Democrats should force one, by insisting
upon the repeal of the supervisors of cleo
ton law, we are convinced that the country
would uphold them in their conduct. Yet it
may be expedient to forego this repeal till
another session. The law will be practically
imperative until the general election in 1880,
and in the meantime the law can be repealed
by Congress in which both houses are
agreed. If they shall succeed in having the
use of troops at elections forbidden, in
abolishing the Jurors test oath, and in de-
feating the Brazilian subsidy steal, they will
have accomplished sufficient to entitle them
to the gratitude of the country. To permit
the supervisors of election bill to go over,
would not, therefore, be national calamity
under the circumstances. 1t would be sim
ply postponement of the matter, which
could be amply atoned for in the future.

Il FEASIBLE PLAN.

There have been numerous propositions to
pay off the old railroad bonds of 1858 with
the 100000 acres of internal improvement
lands. In 1870, we believe, one of the
plans was adopted by the people, and only
failed because by its terms the surrender Of
two thousand bonds was necessary to make
it operative. These previous propositions
involved the literal exchange of the bonds
for the lands, compelling the bondholders to
take land or nothing. The present plan
substitutes land scrip for the bonds, leaving
it optional with the bondholder whether he
takes scrip and lays it upon the land or holds
or sells the scrip.
The bill suggested by the Chamber of
Commerce proposes that the State Auditor,
acting as Land Commissioner, shall appra1se
the 100000 acres of internal improvement
lands at such prices that the appraisal shall
amount in the aggregate to the face of the
bonds with the interest coupons attached.
Then the holder of bonds, in large or small

REPRESENTATIVE BoHAN, of Blue Earth
county, is in sorry fix. Last evening when
the bill appropriating moneys for repairs on
the normal schools came up for passage, he
kept tally of the vote, and thought the bill
lacked vote or two of the number neces-
sary to secure its passage. He therefore
changed his vote from yea to nay for the
purpose of moving reconsideration in case
of the failure of the bill. When the vote
was announced and the bill was declared to
have been passed, he sought to place himself
right on the record, but objection being
made he appears upon the journal as voting
against an appropriation for needed repairs
at the normal school located in his own
town. It's joke on Mr.. Bohan, to be sure,
but it places him where he don't want to be
placed and where he didn't desire to be
placed.

Notwithstanding this it is doubtful if the

Of Gov
ernOr Nj hOils!.

Rumors have been circulating
for some time that Governor Mich
oils has been contemplating an
early resignation of his Office.
This would be an unwise step for
that distinguished officer to take
at the present time. If the Cover
noris administration has not had
that success which was anticipa-
ted at its inauguration, its failure
is owing entirely to causes over
which neither that officer nor his
administration possessed any con
troll. The operation Of the infa-
nous and oppressive laws of the
previous marauding Admiuistra
tons, sustained by constitn-
tional provisions is the primary
and sole cause OF the present f.
nancial difficulties. 1t is not to be
anticipated that any Governor
can pass through four years Of
Office without creating dissatls,
faction in solne places, and espe
cially when there was an army
of Democrats in louisiana who
looked forward to the inaugural
ton Of a Democratic Govern
ment as the beginning of an ETA
when they would begin the same
pillage OF the State Treasury as
the Radicals had been doing in
previous years. When they found
this bright idea of theirs prov.
ing to be delnsion, they were not
long in raising a howl against
the Governor. When the bond
holders, who had agreed to &C
cept the 81 mills taxation set
apart to pay the interest on their
bonds, ascertained that heavy
burden on tue people would not
meet the payment of their bonds,
they of course, began to raise IL
terrible howl also. When tue n.
o. Democrat found that it could

upright, faithful constituents or
Gov. Nichols ask and demand
that he remain in Office until a
successor is legally elected.
