for granted that he has got rather
mixed up and is unable to give the re-
qnired exrlanations, and has come to

From the Capital.
WASHINGTON D. G., Dec. 10, 1879.

WASHINGTON D. c., Dec. 10, 1879.
All is quiet now in the financial field,
Congress having settled down to the
belief that no action will be taken on
the subject this session, while business
seems to justify the "let well enough
alone" policy. Senator Bayard seems
to be confident that his resolution
will be adopted in tho interest of
the hard money policy, but I cannot
find anybody else who will venture
the prediction that it will receive
twenty votes in the Senate. AS for
Voorhees,, resola tioco, they are looked
uaon simply as intended to give MIN
chance to ar his sreenback propen-
stiles in order to give his little rresi-
Dental aspirations ii boom. For it is
actually a tact that Voorhees, dreams
of that elevation. At any rate his
resolutions stand no more show CT sue
GEES than he does of becoming Pce,i-
dent. The larger part of the demo-
Gratis AID republicans will agree to
postpone the financial question, and
the two extremes who are not willing
to let things rel ain, WI have fruit
less discussion all 10 themselves.
The NOR o1t pokea democrats ere
beginning to boast Of their expected
viotory in Maina. Tat is, they say
that tbs Governor and Council are
fully committed 10 the Ian to count
on. the thiity-four majority which
tns local returns give the Republicans
in the Legislature. The Republic
ans profess to believe that they will
not do it, hut the apparent conf
dence of the democrats leads me to
believe they will. They go fur her
than to boast of holding tie legis-
lsture, and say that their Maine
brethren will proceed to choose
Presidential electors, and not allow
them to te chosen by tho popular
vote next fall. This would certainly
be novel proc eeding, and 10 party
can afford to enter upon it without
beng carefully guarded against the
conseq ~ences OF reaction.
The people who are spending their
time trying to kill out Tllden here
are aston,shed at the accounts from
The West. He is developing strength
even in Hendricks field, Indiana,
and there are signs of his literary
bureau in all paris.
Senator Hoar's plan for Labor
Commission Of four men to gather
sta istics and make n annual rep 1T
through tbs Secretary of the In
terror upon the condition of labor,
an labor saving machines, is very
favor blv re ,eived. l. is bell aved
at omlnl, sion of tie s-rt prop
crly constituted would be CT vast
benefit to tie country.
1t sesms to be we'll settled that
Congress will ajourn about the 18th,
to Jan. 18th. This unusually long
recess is perhaps justified by the
fact that it does not matter much
whether Ctngress does any business
this session except make the appro-
prlations, KNOX.
