WASHINGTON, June 14.-1n spite Of the
condition OF the appropriation bills Speaker
Randall thinks Congress will adjourn by
Saturday. The Sherman-Grant war since
las: night has Increased in. bitterness and
activity until an old Virginia habitue ut the
Capitol says the GRANTEES and Shermanites
are running the big congressional circus,
while the Democratic majority, the army,
the Government, and the new rebellion,
all now only constitute a single side-show.
Mr.. Sherman is not leaving ali the work to
Garfield and his other lieutenants, but you
will find other prominent colored RepubIi-
cans besides ey-Congressmen Rainey and
Smalls, OF South Carolinu, appointed to
revenue offices. And yet there are Demo.
Gratis who say the extra session has consoli-
dated the Republicans.
THE HEAVY PRESSURE FOR CENSUS APPOINT
One Virginia member OF Congress has
received already 304 letters from parties
anxious to serve their country in some ca
paciiy in taking the next census, and the
mails also come loaded with letters OF a
similar character for other members. Now,
members OF Congress have no control what
ever over the appointments in question !;
for the law provides that the Secretary Of
the Interior. on or before March l, 1880,
shall appoint one or more supervisors Of
census for each State, but the whole num-
Der appointed for all the States and Terri
tories shall not exceed $50. These SUPER
vlsors are to appoint the cnumerators
Tor the ValiouS counties OF the States.
Any county exceeding 1000 in population
Shall be divided into districts, so that
no district shall contain more than 1000 in
habitants. These enumerators Zone for
every 4,C00 inhabitants) begin their duties
on the first Monday in jane, 1880, and must
finish before July 1st-t;Ius requiring the
work to be completed in less than thirty
days. The compensation will be two cents
for each inhaDitant, two cents for each
death reported, ten cents for each farm, and
nfteen cents for each establishment OF pro-
ductivc industry. Applications for appoint
ments as enumcrators should be addressed
to the supervisors Of the State when APP
pointed.
WHAT THE SILVER DEMOCRATS SAY OF MR..
BAYARD.
The silver Democrats say Mr.. Bayard was
not called upon to decide between hard and
soft money, but merely whether he would,
in obedience to the judgment and earnest
wish OF four fifths OF the Democratic sena-
tors, report the Warner bin without any
recommendation. They contend it was
bis duty to do this, so that his party in the
Senate could have an opportunity to
record their votes on the bill. They cite
the fact that silver Republicans have
acted with their party in presenting a
vote at this session. The idea to-day was
that MessrS. Thurman, Mcdonald, and Gar
land would arrange so that the bill will be
reported without recommendation and 60
over until December. The ultra-siver sen.
ators, however, persisted that they could dc
something decisive Monday. The moderate
men say tonight that if reported it cannot
pass the Senate this session, and II it die
and the Senate returned it to the House wit!
amendments the Republicans OF that body
would never let it reach the President.
Mr.. Bayard himself assured the reporter
= ha I,6,0jto tn-nIuhf flI1t no IN n
not considered, and would not consider,
any conditions whatever. He says his party
knew his financial views when they made
him chairman OF the committee. and that
he is bound to hold TO them, and that self
respect will not permit HIM to remain in
the position, since the action OF his party
on the Warner bill shows him that ma
iority OF them do not want him longer at
the head OF the committee. He does not
know what the outcome Will be, and holds
that he has no right to consider that, rs it is
purely question Of conscience and self
respect.
TIE STATUS or THE APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The legislative and executive appropria-
ton bill came from the Senate to-day, and
was referred by the House to its appropri-
ate committee, with instructions 10 have
the Senate amendments printed. Now, on
Monday there is to be cali OF the States,
and after that District business has mort
gage on the rest OF the session for that day.
It therefore looks as if the bill could not be
taken up until Tuesday. The army bill
was to-dayr reported from committee 10 the
Senate with amendments, in the main YER
bal, except that it is provided by them
that promotions in the Engineer corps shall
20 on rs -in other branches OF the army.
They also provide TINT graduates OF
West Point for 1s79-'S0 shall have the op.
ton OF accepting $3.50 and retire to private
life for two years unless in case OF war.
The Senate will take this bill up after the
judicial bill, and the Republicans will not
oppose it as bitterly as before. The Sher-
NANTES want it approved, and the GRANTEES
vetoed. AS I predicted last night, Senator
Wallace to-day reported the judicial appro-
prlation bill to the Senate and the light over
it did not wax warm until the politlca
sections in regard TO deputy marshals and
supervisors and the drawing OF jurors were
reached. .. ~'
