 General Garfeld's SuccessOr-An Objec. tiOn to His Admission.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-Congressman Ezra
 Taylor, of Ohio, General Garfeld's success sor, will not be permitted to take undisputed possession of his seat. Congressman Frank Hurd, of Ohio, will make motion, when 1aylor's credentials are presented, that they
 be referred to the Committee on Elections. Mr. Hurd avows that Taylor does not repre- sent any district under the laws of the Uni ted States or Ohio. MT. Hurd said to-day: The Democratic Legislature of Ohio about three years ago created the Nineteenth Con gressional district, formerly represented by General Garfield, from the counties of Ash
 tabula, Lake George, Trumbull and Mahon- ing. The law creating this district was re- pealed by the Republican Legislature last winter. The old Nineteenth district ceased to exist A new district was formed, con- sisting of Ashtabula, Lake George, Trumbull and Portage counties. Mahoning county was placed in another district. The election which returned MT. Taylor was held in the old Nineteenth district, district which is now defunct. As there is no such district there can be no law recognizing the validity of the election of a Representative therein. Hurd does not think Taylor's constituents can be represented until after the 4th of March. He anticipates that the Ohio Legis- lature will take action regarding the matter at it's approaching session.
 some Comments on the Message. WASHINGTON, Dec. 6.-The Repubgtcap to- morrow morning will contain comments upon the message from the pen of George c. Cor { ham, who assumed editorial charge of that paper yesterday, warmly commenting that portion relating to suffrage in the South. Respecting divorce between Congress and the Executive in the matter of appointments he points out that the Senate is required to confirm his nominations. Most of the off cers are created by Congress and can by the l same power be abolished. Salaries are fixed 1 by Congress and Congress can vest the ap- pointment of many officers in the depart ments or in the courts. Under these circum | stances it would be difficult for the parties to ! such a divorce to adjust the question of sep | arate maintenance and division of the off spring. The article concludes as follows: | further show the nations grateful appreciation
 of the matchless military services of General Grant | by conferring upon him the title of Captain General With appropriate pay is handsomely done,
 is going to unite different elements Repub- 1 hcan party. If he had omitted the rather lengthy
 house should have been unable to find in the
 tire message anything to jar upon the sensbties of
 any considerable Republican element and as to that
 election of General Arthur to the Vice Presidency | furnishes sufficient antidote The | document is unquestlonably the best we have had from President Hayes"
 | RefuncItng the BOnds-QuiclS Work on l the Appropriation Bi1Is-The Duty on | Malt.
 | WASHINGTON. Dec. 6.-Congressman Buck l ner, chairman of the Banking and Currency committee, is of the opinion that MT. Wood | will have some difficulty in passing a bill to | refund maturing bonds at the rate of per cent interest. ''I am in favor of wiping out the debt entirely and in the quickest possible l manner" said Mir. Buckner. 1T want the surplus revenues of the government applied 1 to the payment of the debt. MT. Sherman ! has been able to buy $SO,OOO,oOo of bonds l during the past year, and at that rate our l debt could soon be paid off I don't object l to refunding. The maturing bonds may be | put into new bonds bearing any rate they | ike-3, f, or per cent. l simply want 1 the Secretary of the Treasury to apply every dollar of surplus revenue to the payment of ! these bonds I know a majority of the west | ern people are of the same opinion, and
 hope we can carry the House with us" Congressman Cannon, of Illinois, said to- day he thought three or four of the minor appropriation bills would be ready to report | to the House this week and would be acted upon before the holiday recess.
 He is engaged in preparing the military academy and MT. Baker is at work upon | the fortifcation bill. ''There will be no trouble, I think" said Mir. Cannon, Gin getting through with all needful work by l the 4th of March. I am in favor of doing up
 the work as soon as possible and I believe l my party friends are of my opinion. Let us 1 get away from here and devote a month of 1 1881 to bread and butter getting"
 The bill to fix the rate of duty on malt at
 25c. per bushel is special order in the Sen l ate tomorrow. On the last night of the | special session of Congress Senator Whyte, of
 Maryland gave notice that when the malt
 bill came up he should move 1 as an amendment the Carlisle
 sugar bill. Notice was also given by Senator l Beck that he should move as an amendment l to the bill the old Thompson tariff proposi-
 ton to reduce the duty on certain articles to 1 50 per cent. Senator Beck said to-day he l should press his amendment but would favor
 the reference of the bill back again to the
 Finance committee. When the malt bill passed the House it was understood the
 brewers and matters had made a compromise.
 Since then the brewers have opposed an in
 crease of the duty on malt.
