WASHINGTON, January 22.-Tbe Com.
mittee on Elections now have their prelimi,
nary business in quite forward state. All
the evidence upon which the yarions claims
to seats are based have been received by
the committee and sent to the public prin-
ter, and in two or three cases the evidence
has been printed and is now in the hands
OF the committee. The first ease to be
acted upon will be that OF MADISON vs.. Oates
in the Third Alabama District. The evi-
dence in the case Of Lynch ys. Chalmers Is
printed and makes pamphlet OF 2GO pages.
A member OF the committee stated that
he thinks Chalmers will he seated, not 80
much, perhaps, on account Of the merits Of
the case as the failure Of Lynch to present
his evidence in suitable style, The same
thinks that there will not be un.
animoas report as Published in favor OF
tho Utah delegate, against
Campbell. A great majority ofthe COM
mittee will favor Cannon, but it Is probable
that all will not do 50. The committee
has been divided up into three
'ub-committees, and which meet
,very day, and arc hard at work upon the
evidence under their consider
'tion. 1t is scarcely possible, however,
whatever may be the industry Of the COM
nittee, that any cases can come before
Congress before the list Of March, as after
he evidence is printed each contestant has
wenty days within which to make his
,riet and ten days further in which to
eply to the brief Of the contestant. Con-
the House will not be troubled
With any OF the cases for month at least.

Tho Iron QnenIlon.

There is manifest danger that the iron
Manuiactwersof this country will repeat ere
long to greater or less extent the mistake
which they made this winter two years ago.
Twoyears is not a long time and its lessons
ought not yetto he lost, but there is more
or less disposition manifested to harvest
the boom while it lasts. To show how
intsjadgmcnt OF the situation can easily
blind the eyes Of manufacturers to coming
events, We may refer to the fact about
twoyears agoaails were sellingat 81 25 On
January 18th, 1880, they were put up to
50 N, and a month later, on February 18th,
they were advanced to s. 25. This looked
Ike prosperity, and the mills expected to
have very prosperous six months run.
But the price did not hold any length OF
tlme-very few orders were booked at the
Frlce-the nails were produced at an in,
creased coSt-0nd on the 26th Of April the
manufacturers were compelled to issue a
SsO card, and in less than three weeks
afterwards, or on the 18th OF May, they sup
pfcmCntcd this with s. % card, and even
this price was not obtained. The business
was demoalizcd for the six months. Tho
card price OF labor had been carried up
and down, much to the dissatisfaction OF
card wOrkmcn, and much to the disgrun.
Element Of labor thar did not travel with
The card, Before the LIST of July the price
OF nails had fallen below s., and before the
year was out they sold at s. 05.
We refer to nails only as an illustration
o@ The sEtorSightedness that characterized
the general iron trade two years ago. Nails
only followed the general market, and
manufactured iron only followed pig
metal. Pig metal was carried up to $40,
and the consequence was that tens Ok
thousands OF tons OF foreign iron were sold
to this country by foreign agents in the
East These heavy sales have rested like
an incubus on the market ever since, and
we are hardly clear OF them yet.
History repeats itself as We all know.
The English manufacturers arc again wait.
ing their opportunity, and all well posted
ironmcn know that they have an immense
surplus ready to throw on the American
market at the opportuue moment, English
statistics show that their product increased
last year about l,0O4,G63 tons over 1880,
The London ESoBomi3 admits that the pro.
duction WAS on an Unprecedented scale.
so great was it that in September last the
iron mnstos Of tho Cleveland district, and
also the Scottish iron masters, agreed to
reduce their out put about one.eighth up
to the first of this coming April.

nent Of Electoral Frauds.
WASHINoToS, January Ex-senator Pugh
has bill, whichhe will introduced at the
tiist opportunity, to make it criminal
ohense for any person to frame or get up
simulated electoral returns from State. The
object oil the bill is toprevent contests over
electoral returns Tor the purpose OF com.
Plieatine the count Of the vote with view
OF political advantage, and to::confine such
contests to legitimate grounds. In almost
every Presidential election there are bogus
electoral returns sent in and this bill is in
tended to prevent this by making the
parties sending them responsible and
amenable to criminal punishment. There
isan evident disposition on the part of the
Senate to pass law at this session to regu-
late and control the counting Of electoral
votes, and it is believed the House
Will readily take up the subject.
senators OF both parties agree that
a bill Of this character ought to be
passed at the present session. They say
now, with the Presidential election nearly
three years off, political considerations and
party eSpedients will not influence their
action, as they naturally do when the cleo.
ton is near At hand.

each State may regulate its own method Of
deciding the controversies over electoral
returns by laws passed prior to the origin
OF such controversies, and that States de-
Clslon Shall be final and conclusive. In
the last Congress this bill did not meet
with Democratic favor, because the Demo-
Gratis We're then in the majority in both
houses Of Congress and, naturally, they
wanted to keep control Of the count and OF
the decisions Of the contests in Congress,
because the election OF 1880 was Just ahead.
me Indications are TINT Edmunds bill will
nave DemocntiC support sufficient
at all events to pass it through. In connec-
tion with this subject an event Of interest
IN relation to the count OF 1872 has been
recalled by number Of Democratic Con-
gressmen, who were comforting in regard to
the Importance oflegislation this session to
regulate the counting Of the electoral votes.
a Democratic Senator who was in the Sem
ate stated that in 1875 Senator NIorton's
Dill prescribing method for the count
passed the Senate, receiving several Demo.
Granc votes. With view Of getting all
the Democrats to vote for it, and thus com
men mend it to the Democratic House, Senator
Thurman moved a reconsideration and mo.
tions so cumberedthe billthat it wasncyer
called up again, and thus it died, and the
senator added: .Had that bill pissed, Tilden
would have been President. That bill Of
IhurIDan's was fatal mistake, and Thur
man has realized it since. Senator Pugh's

Edmunds, but is intended as an addition

fraudulent or simulated returns.

NATIONAL BANKS.
CraPo's Proposed Changes In the Law
Regulating their Circulation,

CraPo'S Proposed Changes In the Law
Regulating their Circulation.
seCial Dispatch to tho IatelllgenceE.
WASHINGTON, January 23.-Mr. Crapo
bill to-day providing that the
revised statutes relative to National Banks
be so amended as to provide that National
Banks shall be allowed to issue no more
than ninety per cent Of the market value
Of the bonds deposited with the United
States Treasury to secure the circulation OF
the banks. AS the law now stands the
OF circulation is fixed at ninety per
cent of the par value Of the bonds. Mr..
Grape in speaking Of his bill to-day, said
that while the United States bonds were
above par, there was no trouble
about the margin to secure circulation, but
in view Of the fact that there was some
likelihood Of three per cent bond
being adopted, there was good reason
to fear that the bonds deposited might not
always reach par, and under the present
law the 10 per cent margin held by the
United States MS security against the banks
would not be realized. There is some sur
prise evinced that Mr.. Crapo of all men
should have introduced measure OF this
kind, as it entails much inconvenience
upon the banks compelling them contin-
ually IN cnntrnCf mr. oHpnnI THAR otroN1a
ton to meet the tluctuation OF the market,
having anything but salutary effect upon
the money market, or to deprive them
selves of portion of their prerogative by
cutting down their circulation to as great a
degree as should meet any possible decline
in the market below the nominal value Of
the bonds. Mr.. Crapo also introduced
bill providing that National bank notes
should bear written instead Of fac simile
signatures as at present.

for the relief Of the incumbents Of burned
