WASHINGTON NOTES.

Senator Elmunds's credentials oil rr-eicc-
ton were presented in the Senate On Mon
day.
The recommendation in the President
u,assar,. that Cen Grant be made Captain
General, is favoraby received. There Is
little doubt that bill will be introduced ms
session in accordance with the recommends
ton. A correspondent says: 1t will have
strong Democratic support and VIII rr"paoiy
pass both Houses, rs there is a ieeiins oil
good will on both sides toward the General,
and desire to see him honorably provided for
by Congress instead of leaving him depend
emit on private muniiiccncc.
Ii is stated that Justice Strong has decided
to retire from the Supreme Court Bench,
having reached the age of seventy years ana
entitled 10 retire upon full pay. Justice
Clifford has also reached the age when he can
retire upon full pay, and is furthermore
mentally incapacitatcd for the duties oil his
position, but it is said he will not retire, ow-
ing TO a vow he made some years ago not 10
retire until a Democratic President should
be elected, so that Democrat could DC
chosen to succeed him. 1t is probable thai
Congress will, at the present session, pass
bill TO enable Judge HINT to retire on pay,
and TO provide for the appointment o! add
tional Judges for the Supreme Court.
The Democratic members of Congress
seem to feel glad over Hancock's defeat. 81
don't want any of your sympathy, says
Representative Whtthornc of Tennessee,
s.why if Hancock had been elected there
would have been IL, 900 men here from my
district boring me for office" Representa-
tive Sparks, of Illinois, who was standing
by, echoed the sentiment, and added: Il
should have been obliged 10 resign, sure
The Washington correspondent OF the
Boston JOWrHdi says the friends oil Senator
Blaine are working 10 put him in l'resi-
dent Garliclds cabinet AS secretary OF the
treasury and tina. the Senator is anxious to
FIJI the placc-thc idea being that the secrc-
taryship is the seat Of power and patronage
in the government.
A despatch says both parties are likely to
favor the passage of an apportionment bill al
the present session. The Democrats are III
fluenced by the expectation that they VIII
gain Congressman AT the South the Repubii-
cans by the belief that their possessions OF
the legislatures of the Northern states makes

IN view of the large and manifestly decisive mt

A comparison of the two by experts shows

the conclusion seems inevitable that they

political motive, are also said 10 be the work

f.slrn its authorship upon Philip. Ii also
says that George Bliss and John |. Daven-
port know all about these facts.
IIErE are some startling figures as TO the
extent of disfranchisement at the South
Tie number of citizens capable of legally ex-
ercisns the rights of suffrage at the North is
estimated a, about 1000, 900; at the South,
more than =. 500, 900. In the recent election
there were G.45O. 600 votes cast at the North,
and 100 600 al the South. Less than
per cent 81 this number failed TO vote at the
North more than - & failed to vote at the
South. The whole number of negroes OF
voting are in 1870 was 93l ,GGj. That is, the
number of votes of which eligible citizens
were deprived at The South is about 100, 900
more ihan the entire colorcd population in
1870. In Alabama, Virginia, Georgia,
Loui-ianl and Mississippi the male citizens
of voting age were, in 1870, 100000 more
tl,an the total vote cast last month. Since
the ccnsus shows that the population of these
States has increased almost 30 per cent,
nearly :;0l. 0l0 voters have been added 10 the
population, and GOO 900 voters were deprived
of the right 10 vote. or TO have their votes
counted, in these five Southern States.
