Eoh 3 1891


Feb. 2, 1881.
There is light op the electoral count
business. The Senate Democrats have
resolved to support resolution sub
stantially the same as that adopted in
1887, when, as now, there was 10
doubt about the general result, but
when there WAS doubt about counting
particular State, as there is pow.
Unless the Republicans of both House
and Senate prefer that the count shall
go on informally, and another irregu-
larly selected President shall be inau-
gura.ed, they will agree to this resolu-
ton. But the present count COM
pleted, something more ought to be
done. A comprehensive act should
be passed, covering the whole subject,
so that hereafter nothing will be ne
cessary but to pass, every four years a
simple resolution to 60 into joint con-
yeutiou. Our own party controlling
both Houses for the last two years is
not without blame that this has rot
already been done.
There is better chance now of our
agreement upon funding bill than
there has been since the session COM
meuced. The influences brought to
bear On Congress during the last week
or ten days, both from the Treasury
aud from business men have had their
effect on both Senators and Represen-
tatives. It is unnecessary to say that
that those Influences were all favorable
to higher rate of Interest than the
House proposed, and to longer term
for the bonds, and to Tightening of
the Natioua! Banks alleged burdens.
A we'll posted Representative said
yesterday that if the Senate passed
bill making the bond and Treasury
note interest 81 per cent, the bonds
to be redeemable in five years and
payable in twenty, and the notes re-
deemable in one and payable in ten
years, the House will agree to the bill
with a single chaDge-making the
note interest 8 per cent. Instead of 81.
To this complexion the bill will pro-
baby come
Rivers and Harbors will absorb
something over ten millions this year,
Including 100000 for the Missis-
sippi river.
All the appropriation bills not al.
ready reported are nearly ready in
Committee, and it is understood, as
promised by Mr.. Atkins before the
holidays, that there is nothing in any
If them to provoke political discussion.
Il requires great skill ard a high de- |
gree Of self restraint to prepare any
Measure in such manper as to avoid |
Ittack from Couger and like people, |
,ut MIR. Atkins and his able commit
ZEE on appropriations have so far sue
'eeded in the general appropriations.
Government expenses, including pen
hon and other deficiencies, will be
somewhat but not much larger than
ast wear.

StoIbranG VS.. Aiken.

Our people should watch very
closely the contest now going on in
town they should attend the tax
ing of testimony, and should ob-
serve carefully the evidence given
and the parties giving it. If any
witness be detected swearing false
" let him be prosecuted at once
for perjury. Col. Aiken has un-
doubtedly been elected to Congress
from this District and were it not
for the fact that the next House OF
Representatives will have Repub-
ican majority the case Of Stolbrand
VS.. Aiken would very likely never
have been heard OF. The defeated
candidate has the legal right to
make a contest and to get all the
evidence he can in support of his
case; but the people who elected
Col. Aiken to Congress should see
that their rights are not sworn away
by glib-tongued, ignorant Radical
witnesses with impunity.

It may interest some Of our read
ers to know the professions of those
who make their laws. We there
fore give the professions OF the
House members. 1t will be seen
that the farmers constitute a large
majority of the body. Out OF l24,
they have 6s; so that there can be
no reason to complain that this
most important portion of our peo-
pie is. neglected or forgotten, or
Disseminated against in the matter
of law making.
There are in the House: Law
yers, 26-1 Of these is also an edi-
tor and / a banker.
Farmers, 68-4 of these are also
merchants, and s are physicians.

fessions of the Senators but the
proportion Of the farmers is fully as
large as in the House.

Condition OF the President.

President Garfield is recovering slowly from
his recent and almost fatal relapse, and the
subject of removing him from the White House
is being again agitated. The PATIENTS still very
weak, the parotid gland continuing to suppur-
ate and has not commenced to heal: neither has
the bullet wound improved much The most
hopeful symptoms are the patients growing
appetite, the healthy condition of his stomach
and the readiness with which the food he par
takes of is assimilated. On the I'd inst. he took
some soup. and chewed piece of stewed
squirrel, and asked for more, but it was not
deemed well to acceGe to his request.s Secre-
tary Blaine's dispatches to Minister Lowell are
of more hopeful character and every body
about the capitol is inspired with renewed con-
fdence in the final recovery of the President.
The patient will be removed to Long Branch as
soon as possible to avoid the malaria which has
been detected in the atmosphere about the
White House.
Saturday night (the 4th) the President had
two attacks of vomiting; but no specially bad
effects followed. The vomiting was caused by
the accumulation of phlegm in the throat and
not by any gastric disturbance. That the pa
TENTS condition was not affected was shown by
the fact that, very soon after he called for and
partook of food which was retained on his
stomach.
The question of the Presidents alleged in
ability to perform the duties of his office, and
of the propriety of calling in the Vice President
to assume the work of the presidential Office
have been formally discussed by the cabinet
but no formal action was taken. 1t is under
stood that a majorlUy of the members of the
cabinet are decidedly of the opinion that no oc-
casion exists, even to take up the subject in a
formal manner.

Railway Wrecks.

Two Erie freight trains collided near Cuba,

heavily-loaded cars. Otto Bowers, a fireman,

ceived fatal injuries. The loss is placed at
$500,000 1t is said that the accident was
caused by an engineer falling asleep from over
work.
Some malicious person opened switch on the
night Of the 28th ult. at Farmsdale Ala, and
the freight train on the Alabama Central
division of the East Tennessee Virginia and
Georgia Railway ran into construction train
there sidetracked. The engine was wrecked

man were fatally injured.
A gravel train on the Massawipie Valley road,

press on the 29th ult., wrecking two cars and

malicious removal of rails, on the 29th ult. The

rocks on the seashore. The engine driver and
stoker were killed and nine persons injured, in
Guiding two ladies.
A collision between gravel and wood trains

Death of Prof" Gwinn.

Saratoga has lost one of its most nota-
BILE characters in the death, from paraly-
sis, of ''Prof." Henry Gwinn, the master
of ceremonies at the United States Ho-
tel. He was pretty mulatto, with the
manners of Sir Charles Grandson and
polysyllabic vocabulary equally re-
moved from this brusque age. Every
visitor at the house knew him, and
everybody liked him, and good deal of
genuine sorrow is being expressed at his
loss. His tact was as wonderful as his
language, and the gorgeous style of dress
he adopted on state occasions. It is re-
lated of him that once last summer a
man noticing another smoking in for
hidden place, the ladies' verandah, called
Gwinn's attention to this transgression
of the rules. The latter approached the
smoker in his blandest manner, and in a
moment the cigar was gone, and evil
IDENTIFY no offense was felt at the rebuke.
"What did you say to him, Gwinn?'
was asked. CT told him. he replied,
''that the snowy columns were unused
to rise and break on this piazza.

THE retreats for habitual drunkards which
have been established in England do not &C
cording to the report of the official inspector,
appear to have accomplished much. There are
but two of them, and the number of patients
admitted during the last year has been only ff-
teen, of which seven were females. Five have
been discharged and ten remain under treat
ment. The inspector, Mr.. Hoffman, has adj
mitted that he is unable to point out a single
case where a permanent cure has been effected.
In several cases, however, some good has re-
suited, and the general health of the patients
has improved, of course. during their stay in
the retreats. The experiment, it will be seen,
has been conducted on a small scale. The
most successful of American retreats have hard
iy reformed one out of fifteen Of those subject
ed to their treatment; and yet they are regard
ed as rather remarkably successful. Mr.. In
speeUor Hoffman is not discouraged, but thinks
with few amendments and further experience
in working, great progress may be made toward
attaining the beneficial object proposed.
