The beauties Of Democratic Congress are
brought home TO our citizens, in the failure
TO make an appropriation which will cover
the Lighting Of post office. through the
country. As Will be seen by the advertise
Inent Of Post Master Cushman. Of this CITY,

ing Offices and he Is ordered to contract no
bills against the Government, for tina, pur-
pose. In the Ellsworth Office. a. as in near

distributed during the night a. to accom-
MEDIATE the public with their mail the frs,
thing in the morning. The failure
Of the appropriation for Lighting offices
will necessitate delaying the distribution of
all mails received after dark till the follow
ing morning, and the public will be com
PEELED TO wait, an inconvenience tina; will be
seriously felt
Meantime a Democratic Congress is
spending is time in the effort 10 compel the
President to sign appropriation bills which
are loaded down with political riders. which
are. in effect. notification Of laws they
cannot repeal If they fail in carving
through the riders with the appropriations
the same tactics are 10 be adopted. no doubt.
as in the extra session. namely, they will
refuse 10 make the necessary appropriations.
This attempt to bull-dore the President is
revolution Of the most dangerous kind.
The mass of the people believe that appro-
priation bills. necessary for the carrying on
of the Government, in all lis branches,
should be passed without the attachment of
extra Legislative matter. All necessary laws
can be passed independently Of every thing
else, and do not require the assistance Of an
appropriation bill to carry them through

country on this issue, the Republicans will

WASHINGTON, d. G., May, s, 1880.
Il The Democrats are determined to enforce
their political "rider" upon the Marshals
bill, or star,e them the coming year. Sena-
TOR Bayard has nov prepared bill which he
will press for action at an early day which is
substantially the same in meaning as the one
vetoed by the President. the only difference
being tina, the MarshSs were the only ones
provided for in the bill. The Democrats
say If the President will eonsen, TO the null
lhcation of the election laws which the bill
contemplates. he can have the Marshals, If
hr stands to his former position, they will
not appropriate any money for them. Aud
they, the Democrats, express themselves as
ready and wiling to go before the counting
upon this issue. or course this is revolu-
tionary. They assume to nullify law they
cannot cons,i,u,ionally repeal. They at
tempt to cripple an important and necessary
branch of the Executive Department Of the
Government. Republicans are no, afraid to
meet them uron this. II the Democrats fail
to provide for the Marshals, they will be
paid by private means.
The House yesterday passed the Post Of
flee appropriation bill. The amount is
much less than was demanded by the con-
tractors, but more than vas given last year.
In consequence the contractors are thor
oughly Disguised with their Democratic
friends in Congress. whom they have been
trying to influence in their favor ever since
the matter came up.
The Kellogg Spotford case is still drag
gin along in the Senate A substitute was
offered Yesterday to the eifcc, that in &C
cordancc with the resolution seating Senator
Kellogg, be is and Spoford is not entitled
to the seat on the merit, of tn. case. 1t is
said that several Democrats will vote for
this and HUI is no, now as anxious a. he
YES to push the pending resolutions to a
vote.
In view Of the evident determination Of
both parties in Congress TO adjourn at the
close Of the present month ~ill give a short
accoun, Of the present situation. All buSI-
ness except the appropriation bills will go
by the board There il hut small probable
i,y that the Wood rcfuudinS bill vii pass.
\ small tariff bill ma, be pushed through
the House. but not the Senate There re-
main, yet to be disposed OF by the House
three appropriation bills; they are the legis-
latiye. executive and judicial the Sundry
Civil and the General Deficiency bill The
postal bill has passed. The Legislative bill
will be reported on Monday. The River
and lIarbor bill has been reported and an
effort will be made to pass j, on Monday
under n suspension Of the rules. 80 it can
rcadil, be seen that II Congress ants to get
out Of the va, in time for the Conventions.
