Of foul play

Congress met on Monday, the members gen
orally being present in both houses, the only
conspicuous absentees beng Senators Conk
| ling, Logan and Cameron. The last named
has since appeared, but it is SAID Conkling
will not leave New York until the question OF
the senator from New York to succeed ker
nan Is settled at Albany. The day was devot
ed to what by courtesy is called listening to
the reading of the Presidents message, though
few members in either house retained their
seats through half the inalction.
Among the first bills introduced IN the
house was one by Mr.. Springer to change the
time for holding the presidential election from
November to the second Tuesday in October
and in the senate a bill by Mr.. Mcdonald au
thorizing the taxation of L. S, treasury notes
The only subject which has yet called out
any debate Is the proposition OF Mr. Bcknell
to restore the 22d joint rule for counting the
electoral vote. The rule was adopted by the
republicans in 1864 and was adhered to until
1876, when the same party that adopted repu'
dated 1t. 1t simply provides that the elector-
al vote of no state that is objected to shall be
counted without the consent of both houses.
In opposition to the rule now Mr. Secor
Robson, who seems to be recognized As the
republican leader IN the house, contends that
the constitution conterS the whole power to
open and count" the electoral votes upon the
vice president and there is no power lodged
anywhere to interfere with his performance of
that duty. Yet he admits that the vice presi-
dent has purely ministerial and not judicial
powers IN TIE matter, and when asked how
then, in case two or more returns from any
state are laid before him, he can accept one
and reject the others without the exercise Of
judicial" powers the only answer is, that the
trainers of the constitution anticipated no dis
pute as to who were the presidential electors
of any state, and provided no method of set.
Ting any such dispute. In this view, nothing
then would seem more reasonable than MIR.
Morgans proposition, submitted in the senate,
to provide for the difficulty by an amendment
of the constitution; but the house is plunged
into a hot discussion over the utterly useless
Bicknel resolution, in which the Morgan
proposition has not even been named thus tar.
Gen. Hazen has been placed in charge of
the signal office AT Washington IN place of
Meyers, deceased and Gen. Miles has been
placed in command at West Point. To effect
these changes and promotions Gen. Ord had
to be placed upon the retired list. Both Ha.
zen and Miles are Ohio men and their appoint
ment to easy and lucrative positions over Older
and more deserving men is generally anlmad-
verted upon as another signal instance OF indie
cent favoritlsm shown to Ohio men.

should set at rest by an itemized salary listthat
the man who earns this money for Mr.. Arnold's
private pocket Is paid by the county as one OF
the deputies OF the office. Mr.. Metzger, the
member for Turn Hall, was highly indignant
that the FREE TRADER should presume to sug
gest anything about crookedness in that Office;
but we have 1t on the authority Of men OF more
thorough knowledge Of the Office than the mem.
Der for Turn Hall that the Office will bear an oc.
casional looking into.
The court house ring got general slap in the
face this week, and all through "that pesky
FREE TRADER and Squire Barton" Fact Is, the
Squire had his hair cut and his weight reduced
to lighting trim, and made it warm for the boys.
II was mean in Barton to cut off the sherff's and
clerkS "perquisites," and as mean it Belling hau.
sen to suggest that it would be more business
like for clerks to keep respectable set OF books;
but Mayo-well, Mayo has mortaly offended the
member for Turn Hall aud the whole body Of
the recorder clique. 1t was cruel in him to set
down on their little scheme to shut the public
out Of the Office and make all the lawyers, alb.
stracters, and Others Of the public, knucklc
down to Abstracter Arnold's terms for informa.
ton. Positively 1t was cruel-thus to go back
on 1.-THE agreement" with Mr.. Arnold, when he
graclously consented to accept the Office, that
he should have all the abstract business. And it
was cruel to upset the cherished ambition OF
many members OF the Board, who have been
striving tooth and nail to pass such resolution
as would suit the ring and 90 on record as the
most superb set of asses the history OF supervi.
kors has ever shown.

THE POPULAR VOTE.

The republican papers are publishing a
statement, prepared in the Office Of the Chica-
go 7'ribune pretending to give complete fig.
ures of the popular vote in the various states
at the recent presidential election, by which Gar
field is figured out with a plurality over Han.
cock of 1864. The statement was prepared
before the official count had been made in a
The official count of all the states having since
been completed, the Chicago Times, paper
by no means overfrendly to the democratic
party, complies from them the statement gwen
side Of Hancock 10y plurality over Garfield
of 65l3 II must also be borne in mind, in
this connection, that Hancock's plurality is
smaller than Tilden's was four years ago only
on account of the smallncs Of the popular vote
in the south. Four years ago nearly as hot a
contest was made in the southern as IN the
northern states, ana they cast iull vote but
this year no contest was made in the south and
the vote is uniformly small. Thus Missouri,
with larger population than Indiana polls
$4,000 less votes; Louisiana, with larger
population than New jersey polls $50, 900 less
votes, or less than half the vote Of New Jersey.
And so on There is thus no doubt that with
as full popular vote at the south as at the
north IIancock's majority over Garfield would
have been at least 100000. The truth Is the
republican party has alwas been sectional, and
never, during all the years of its existence, has
it been able to command an honest majority
of the poplar vote of all the states.
