Electoral Count Resolution.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-House-RobesoI
offered the following: RESOLVED, That the
two Houses will assemble in the chamber O
the House of Representatives on the secnot
Wednesday in February, 1881, at II O'Clock
and the President of the Senate shall be the
presiding officer; that two persons shall be
appointed tellers on the part Of the Senate
and two on the part of the House of Repre-
sentatives to make list of the votes as they
shall be declared; that the result shall be de-
livered to the President of the Senate who
shall announce the state of the vote and the
persons elected to the two houses assembled
as aforesaid, which announcement, together
with the list of votes, shall be entered on the
journals of the two Houses.
The Speaker decided the resolution pre-
sented aquestion of privilege, whereupon
+. Wood raised the question of considera-
ton. Robson thought Congress would en-
joy the Holidays better after doing its consti-
tutional duty. He desired to speak on the
question of consideration. The Speaker
ruled it not debatable, but Robson, not
,withstanding,a amid cries of "order from the
Democrats, said: This was the resolution
under which the Presidents were counted in
up to Lincoln" Answering Townsend Qn.)
he said he desired to antagonize every bill
until this constitutional duty was done. The
House, by vote of yeas 81, nays 90, refused
to consider Robeson's resolution-a strict
party vote. The Greenbackers, except Laid,
voted with the Republicans, ave." -@

Dakota's Desires.

New YORK, December 20.-The Tribune's
Washington special says: Delegate Bennett
of Dakota is vigorously laboring to create a
sentiment among the members of the House
of Representatives in favor of his bill to di-
vide the Territory of Dakota, to admit the
southern part into the Union as State. The
bill has been referred to the Committee on
Territories which as yet has taken no action
regarding it. Bennett proposes to divide the
present Territory on the 10th parallel of
north latitude, thus throwing about 60,00O
square miles into the new State and 70, 900
into the Territorial subdivision. The pop
ulation of the new State would be about 100
600 and that of the Territory about $4,000.

The Impending Scandal.

PROVIDENCE, X. l., December 1S.-A pc.
tition has been filed In Washington count y
by Kate Chase Sprague, praying fora divorce
from VIM. Sprague on the grounds Of adul.
terry and other misbehavior and neglect to
provide. ......- .. '''
past year Mrs. Sprague has been virtually an
outcast from polite society here. Her dress
indicates poverty and she is heavily in debt.
Conkling will be forced to provide for her
means and counsel. Nearly every Senator
has witnessed an exchange Of notes. In the
the Senate Chamber, Schurz and Key, who
spent the summer near her residence, may
be witnesses as to Conkling's visits. Ben
Butler is counsel for the Ex-Governor, and
probably summon half the distinguished peo-
pie in the country. '.e.H .'.N't -.
Providence, December 19-Governor
Sprague has been for some time converting
Canonchet into fertilization, armed with
pistols. The sheriff consequently refused to
serve the writ Of replevin for Mrs. Sprague's
clothing. She charges In her bill that he has
repeatedly told the children that he was not
their father, and that he attempted to drag
her to the upper story window and throw hef
therefrom; that in drunken lark he made
bonfires Of the bedding on the floor, and that
ne has allowed their only SON to contract bad
habits, The Governor was greatly excited
when the bill was read to him, and will file
a-counter petit ion. 3'fa'

against Conkling, but will charge his wife
with reckless extravaganza. He says he will
not disgrace his children. He denies every
charge. II. ~ '''fs' lkIls

Grant on Porter.

New YORK, December 1.-THE Tin,es'
New Orleans special has the following re-
marks made by Grant when he was there
last springs "Soon after my Inauguration
the first time, one of Porter's intimate friends
came to me and urged me to take steps for
the reopening of his case. He brought with
him documents which it was claimed would
show Porter's action in better light. i took
the papers and went through them, and when
he called again for an answer, I told him
that when urged the reopening of that case
l would also urge the hanging of Porter.
That was the last heard of the case. They
waited until Hayes got In before they brought
up their new evidence again" s.g.sf iaEH
Grant says The Commission which tried
Porter, was composed of conservative men.
I doubt If any equal number of prominent
officers less likely TO be unjustly severe, could
be found in the army. They were menmore
disposed to be merciful than severe. After
going into all the details and sitting all the
evidence they concluded Porter should be
shot. There was no difference Of opinion
among them. The conclusion was unani-
nous. LiLcOlntw was responsible for the mod
ification of the sentence. He interceded in
behalf of Porter, not for Porter's sake, but as
. matter Of public policy. He wrote to the
Commission urging them to spare Porter's
life. The feeling in the Army Of the Poto-
mac at that time was such that Lincoln was
afraid Of the effect Of the execution Of an Of /
deer Of Porer's rank, 80 the Commission dis
missed him from the service with the loss or
pay although they believed that the evidence
warranted q more severe punishment. Il did
not look we'll, he said for Porter to stay out
after his dismissal. As his loyalty was
IN question, be would have done wellto have !

The country needed the services or every |

The fact is, the Public Printing should be
done by paper with adequate facilities at
the county seat. The inconvenience and
delays that would otherwise arise are above
any partizan considerations. The NEW
NorTH- West has had the contracts since the
law was enacted. We never importuned
any one for 1t, and would not. We have
endeavored to do the work required satisfac-
torily, and trust have succeeded. We believe
the award of the contract to paper publish

would have been great miatake, and have
been severely censured by everybody except
those pecuniarily interested in the paper to
which it was given. Above all, we do not

titled to it, and its Unsuitable greed may as
well evidence itself in snarling about that

The Queen and Gladstone.

LONDON, Dec. lit is stated in town to-
night that there was a painful scene be-
tween the Queen and Mr.. Gladstone at Wind
sor, over the Irish question. Her Majesty
urged the Premier very decidedly to resort at
once to force and crush disorder in Ireland.
The Liberals who circulate this story ascribe
the Queens interference to the personal in
fluence of Lord Beaconsfeld, in whom she
has undoubted confidence, and who recently
made her a visit. .s .....
The condition of affairs in Ireland formed
the principal topic of discussion arrived at, if
any, has not yet been made public. No more
councils will be held until after the holidays.
When the council adjourned Mr.. Foster hur-
ried back to Dublin, and the other ministers
left London for their respective homes in the
country.

Politics ofthe Next House

WASHINGTON, Dec. 23.-Edward McPher-
son, Secretary Of the Republican Congress
ional Committee and ex-Clerk of the House
of Representatives, probably the best inform
ed man in Washington as to the make up of
the next House, to-day figures it out thus ::
Republicans, 14s; Regular Democrats, 1876;
Readjuster Democrats, 2; Greenbackers, s;
total, 293. In the estimate of 14S Republi-
cans, Mcpherson counts one from New
Hampshire yet to be elected to succeed Farr,
Rep, deceased, although the district Is very
close and the result somewhat doubtful. He
says, however, the Republicans do not need
to rely on 14s votes thus figured on, which
are only one more than a quorum and three
majority over all, because at least five of the
eight Greenbackers are certain to vote with
the Republicans in organizing the House and
on ordinary political questions.

THE IRISH LAND TROUBLES.
The Landlords Show a spiri. of Coercion

The Landlords Show Spirit Of Coercion.
NEW YORK, December 20-The Heralds
Dublin special says: A very significant
movement Is afoot with regard to the land
agitation which may have an important influ-
ence In the final settlement of the question.
l refer to the attitude suddenly adopted by
the members of the Irish landlords, both
conservative and liberal, favoring what are
called the "three Fs," meaning fair rent,
fxity Of tenure and free sale. The land
lords opposition to these measures has been
sensibly lessening in many quarters for some
time. The first public expression given to
them was during last week at a Monogram
Orange meeting, presided over by Lord Ross
more. This action made the "three Fl"
its platform. This action shows on the part
Of the young nobleman aud the other land
lords associated with him public spirit and
wisdom far in advance of their class. Some
Armah landlords have done the same thing.
Many.prominent men-English members of
Parliament-have also spoken out clearly on
this point. Furthermore, the London Times,
which has heretofore opposed concessions
and favored an out and out policy on the
part of England toward Ireland, printed on
Saturday remarkable article arguing vigor-
ously in favor of the fixity of tenure and the
other Fs, saying: "The easiest way to estab-
lish peasant proprietary is through this
plan" To properly understand the import
ance of this change of attitude, it must DO
that the fixityof tenure was re-
garded everywhere year ago as utterly in
admissible. Any one proposing it was con-
sidered mailman. OF course this does not
satisfy the Land League, but if the landlords
should generally adopt them they would be
going half way in concession to the League.

FITZJoHN PORTER.
He 10 Either Guilty or Not Guilty-A Fair
Statement of the Case.
Salt Lake Tribune. 16.

The Senate has passed resolution en-
towering the President to reappoint Fitz-
john Porter to the army, with the rank of
Colonel to place him on the retired list with
out pay for the time he has been out of the
army. Such a resolution is all wrong. Fitz-
john Porter was either guilty or not guilty of
the crimes charged against him. If guilty
his name should never more disgrace the
honored roll that holds the names of the glC-
rious soldiers, living and dead, of our army.
If innocent his restoration with full rank and
full pay for all the years that he has waited
would be but beggarly restitution at best.
There are no degrees in the crimes with
which he was charged. He was either guilty
something so grave that nothing on earth can
satisfy the counts against him, or he was
wholly innocent and has suffered wrongs
which the most ample reparation which it is
possible for the Government to make would
be but paupers pension in liquidation. II
FltzJohn Porter is the brave high-sprited
man that his friends claim him to be, he
would spurn such an appointment if it were
rendered him. But no matter about his
guilt or innocence, the resolution is a mis-
take, and the Senate did itself no credit in
passing 1t. On the other hand, the Senate
cannot afford to place itself in position, in
of which the world would
have right to say: by the resolution the
Senate acknowledges the wrong perpetrated
upon Porter, and by the same resolution
shows that 1t Is not great enough to make an
reparation for ALI unparalleled
wrong"
