A Tribute to our Good Looks.

[Mr, Nordhof in the New York H.rald.l
The Democratic side of the House presents
a better looking set Of men than did the pre-
vious Congress, while the Republicans suffer
somewhat by comparison in this respect with
their predecessors. The Democrats are bet
ter dressed and fresher than the old party.
while the Republicans have a younger and
newer array of faces. White heads have dis
appeared largely from both sides. In the
forty-fourth Congress any American visiting
the House for the first time would have read
ily told the Democratic side from the Repub-
lican. But spectator would be more puz
lied to make the distinction in the Forty-sixth
Congress Indeed, il few Of the tawny, lank
southerners would betake themselves to the
cloak-rooms while he made the inspection he
might fail altogether to find difference. II
is to be hoped the fact is good augury for
both Congress and the country.

The court have come to the conclusion that
the sum of money .now retained by the
| Treasurer to pay note maturing April II,
| 1879, given as part OF the purchase price, OF
the State-House, should be restored to the
general fund of 1878. We desire to hear ar
gument on these questions:
i. Does the commencement OF suit by a
holder of warrants, to compel the Treasurer to
pay them, give such holder right to be paid
by preference out OF funds In the treasury
over other holders of similar warrants?
2. Does such suit give preference over other
similar warrants which have been deposited
with the Treasurer?
g. If such preference results, does it de-
pend upon the date of bringing the suit?
InaSmuch as four members OF this court
have warrants for their salaries for 1875, which
are unpaid, 1t Is now entered OF record that
each and every one of the justices disclaiIn
and abandon all right to any portion OF the
fund, the distribution OF which Is sought in
this suit.
Which abandonment is now signed, on this

Some mending will have to 90 to the

comes into play oftenest, though

The grain movement Of 1878 will
evidently be much the largest on
record. For the irst ten months of
the year the seven Atlantic ports
have received 212.000,0O0 bushels o!
grain ofall kinds, not including flour,
against 100000 bushels in 1876,
when the movement was larger than
ever before, and 133,0OQ,000 last
year. There has been no time in
the history of the country, rapid as
it development has been heretofore,
when more astonishing increase in
production has been exhibited, and

IN two years the increase over the
