Speaker Randall swore a great oath
yesterday that the new rules should
be disposed of and regular business
proceeded with during the week.
Contrary to general expectation. the
Democrats have determined to take
up the Fitz John Porter case in the
Senate, and it is probable that it's dis
cussion will begin next week and be
continued from day to day until dis
posed Of. Senator Randolph, who is
charged with the conduct of the bill,
succeeded Friday in having it for
mally taken up, and an understand
ing was reached by which the discus
sion will begin on Monday. Senator
Randolph is earnest and enthusiastic
in his support of Porter, and expresses
confidence in his ability to carry the
bill successfully through. He said to-
day that it was his purpose to press
the bill to vote without unnecessary
delay. He claims to have assurances
from several Republican Senators that
they will support the measure. Gen
eral Porter has been in this city fire.

Ex-Secretary Delano, who recently
arrived in Washington from an ex-
tended tour in tue South, states that
every where he went he found the Re-
publican masses almost solid for
Grant; Federal officers were, how
ever, as a rule, active for Sherman,
and he believes that their activity
and zeal may succeed in securing del
egates to Chicago that will cast their
votes, at least on the first few ballots.
for Sherman.
The outcropping of the socialistic
element in different places, manifested
in strikes, is an evil omen, and is
awakening in rejecting minds great
cause Of alarm for the permanency Of
our free institutions. A few years
since the tramp question was one that
menaced the peace of society, bnt
wisdom on the part of law makers in
the different States has banisl,ed the
evil and settled the tramp question.
Inc same action must sooner or later
be taken by State Legislatures and
stringent laws must be enacted against
those who incite or are instrumental
in creating strikes. Agitators like
Kearney and all his kith and kin
should be snmmarily dealt with. No
man should be allowed to interfere
with an others right to work, any
more than with his right to worship
God or to possess, hold and occupy
his property.

licansfor Grant Kearneyism Rampant.
WASHINGTON. D. e.. Feb. %, 1880.
EDITOR CHIEF:
Winteris gone withouthaying given
us even seeming of its usual frigidity.
In closing it reminded us of sunny
May days, leaving out the green TO-
liage and the laughing drapery Of
flowers. Such a winter has no place
in the memory Of the oldest resident.
It has been period Of unexampled
gaiety. Thousands Of the wealthy
and cultured from all parts of cur
land have spent these pleasant months
amid scenes of pleasure in levees, re-
ceptions and art entertainments. Year
by year this Paris of America is more
and more becoming an art centre and
is attracting to it the most refined
apd cultured minds in the country.
The revival in business has been very
sensibly felt here and the hundreds
of paiatial residences of new residents
now building speaks we'll for the ,fu-
ture Of our beautiful capital.
The President and Mrs. Hayes have
demonstrated the fact that wine is
not necessary in bringing to the White
House the largest gatherings of the
most cultivated people, native and
foIeign, titled and untitled. Certain
Of the receptions during this winter
have been exceptionally brilliant and
it will probably be one of the pleas
ant recollections Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Hayes, that they introduced into the
higher society Of Washington habit
which can by no possible means do
harm, and must do good.
1t is probable that the deficiency
bill for the Star Mail Service will be
adopted, because it will be disastrous
to cut down that Service now. But
it will be so qualified that the extrav-
agance Of its administration can not
be continued.
The Ute prisoners Will be here in a
few days, and shortly we shall know
what their fate will be and whether
peace or war will he the condition of
the g Indian question" for the season.

The revival Of good times-tls
''business boom," so -called-has given
almost every class lift forward ex-
ceptpublishers of newspapers. Strange
as it may sound, the general advance
in wages and prices whicl, pleases tho
public SO much has made harder
" times for the press. The price of
type has been raised, coal is dearer,
labor has advanced, and white paper,
the leading item in newspaper ex-
pense, has been thrust ap 80 to 60 per
cent, with threats on the part of the
paper making combination to put it
higher next spring. Meanwhile, pub
fishers are charging the old rates to
their subscribers and the old rates for
advertising, consequently the whole
advance iii the cost of publishing =
newspaper falls on the proprietors,
who have not felt at liberty to tax
back their losses on the public.

ONE WORD IN KINDNESS.
By PHILIP wINFREE.
One word in kindness spoken
May stay the erring heart,
Though every tie be broken
That bound its better part:
One word whose echoes gather
Around the chords within
And wake some thrilling measure
That long hat b silent been.
It may have idly Aoated
Upon careless ear,
For days and days unnoted-
But still it fingers there;
And sometime when arises
The memory Of the past,
Its gentle sound surprises u.
The startled heart at last
'Tis like the dew on flowers
The prisoners wandering ray
And sweetly lightens hours
That else would heavy weigh.
