The Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
S"" says "One Of the first things Ia be done in
Congress will be the taking Of some action with
reference to the payment of the very heavy ex.
renses incurred by the illness of the late Presi-
dent. IL seems To be accepted that if Congress
assumes the paymentthe three william ply sicians,
Dfs. Bliss, Agnew and Hamilton. wilt not expect
less than $4,000 each for their serviees. They

bills, u Is said, growing out Of the care of the
President during his illness have been rendered,
although Mrs. Garfield has in several instances
requested that they be sent 10 her. OF eourse IL
Congress Is To pay the bills. every one concerned
will render much larger accounts than IL Mrs Gar.

that he and his associates would not take an

the manner Of selecting the Commissioners Of the
public schools, and Why the Legislature took the
power Of selection out of the hands Of the people
and placed u 10 the hands of the Judges Of the
Courts, was because the schools would thereby be
divorced from politics. II would undoubtedly re-.
