F0RTY.s1xTH CONGRESS.
SATURDAY. March &


SENATE.-The Vice President laid before the
Senate communication from the Secretary Of
the Interior, transmitting copy Of a letter from
the Commissioner Of Pensions submitting re-
vised estimate of deficiencies for army and navy
pensions for the fiscal year ending June 30, 1880.
The Secretary earnestly recommends an appro-
priation In accordance with the estimate. Re-
Ierred.
Mr.. Wallace presented petition of the Phila-
delphia Board OF Trade, praying that United
States mails may be carried in American-built
ships ar Teller ,nt,oauce, . hi, to en.,,o +ovn
sights to be entered on public lands. Referred
to the committee on public lands. He had pre-
pared this bill in accordance with part OF the
late report Of the public land commission. The
report was voluminous, and contained very
many questions of doubtful propr1ety, but the
part embraced in this bill would probably not
be one BY familiar with the
tically impossible in some Of the western states
and territories to enter town sites. He invited
the early action Of the committee on this mat
ter.
Mr.. Rollins introduced bill in relation to
avenue and street lamps In the city Of Wash
ington. Referred.
The Senate proceeded to consider the cal
Bills were passed granting pensions to Phoebe
c. Doxsie, Susan Fox, Stephen d. Smith, Esther
F; Leuranee, Spencer "; Tryon, Charlotte 4.
The bill to remove the POLITICAL disabilities
of John X. F. Tatnall, of Georgia, was passed.
The bill to amend section PAT Revised Stat
utes, In relation to issue of patents for private
land claims confirmed by act of Congress, was
passed.
The bill confirming the title of Chas. oliver
Du Clozel to certain lands in Louisiana was
passed.
The morning hour having expired, the Senate
resumed consideration of the bill for the relief
of Fttz John Porter. MI. Carpenter addressed
the Senate, and argued that Congress had no
fn of q
ual or to authorize an appointment to the
army in spite of the sentence or to grant new
trial to man who had been out Of the army II
it was unnecessary to pass a bill to tell him so.
Mr.. Carpenter said the whole tendency of our
time seemed to be towards Capitalization Of
power in Congress. The boundaries between
and limitations of the various departments of
the government established by the ConStitu-
tion were continually disregarded.
The House was not in session to-day.

Mr.. Richard Hassaurek, the able
editor of the Cincinnati VotksbLdtt,
who has been supporting the Demo-
cratic party, is in this campaign doing
valuable service for Garfield. In q
late issue of his valuable paper, he
says:
1.-THE present good times constitute
the great advantage which Republic
cans have in this Presidential cam.
paign. If times were bad, the blame
would be laid on the ruling party. II
the various branches of business were
depressed, people would demand a
political change in the hope of bring.
ing about an provement. But
times are better than they have been
for years. Business goes on well.
Factories are active. Workingmen
have employment. Public opinion,
therefore, opposes change of gov
eminent. Let well enough alone
will be the conclusion that will decide
this election. The people are con-
tented with the result of the Repub.
lican financial policy, and will not.
therefore, be induced to try new
experiments. We know what we
have. We do not know what would
come i'll case of q change of govern
ment. Such a change might be dam
aging and dangerous, especially when
the position assumed by a large
number of the Democratic party
leaders is remembered-a position
they still partly maintain. 1t is not
to be expected that the people will
turn suddenly from the good they
have proved to the bad that is un
tried. There exists no wish for a
change. There is, perhaps, a fear of
one. This feeling will be sufficient
OF itself to decide the election in
favor of the Republican Presidential
candidate"

EDITOR REPUBLICAN You will
please give us space in your valuable
paper for few items from our dis
trict on the political status of the
day. The Republicans here are
awakening to the issues of the hour;
and as the result of their enthusi-
asm, on last Saturday they erected a
beautiful Garfield and Arthur pole,
95 feet high. and launched the glori.
Gus "old Stars and Stripes" to the
breeze. The meeting was pleasantly
entertained by Messrs. Peddicord
and Combs on the issues of the day,
and the greatest enthusiasm pre-.
vailed. But 10 in the midst of our
enthusiasm, we turn and cast the
eye just across the hill. in the direc.
ton of Mill Run, where we behold
different set of men, of different
political faith, preparing to raise a
Hancock and English Pole, and
when all was ready they took hold
with will !; but the strength" of
the Democracy was not equal to the
occasion, and the pole was lowered
to the ground. They then solicited
the services of one "Joe," staunch
Republican, who, taking in the stu.
alton, consented to loan them the
"strong arm" of Republican. So
all hands took hold, and when the
pole was seemingly UP out of danger
one of the number named RIP Van
Wrinkle" remarked: "We could
have put it up without the aid of a
id Republican," whereupOn Joe
l0osed his hold and gave "Trip Van''
slight touch OF the aforesaid strong
arm, while in the meantime the pole
swung roung and lodged in the forks
of sugar tree, where it still re-
clines, as a fit emblem of the Dem.
ocracy after November next. And
now three hearty cheers for Garfield,
Arthur and Urner, and we are done
for the present.
