Yesterday in the Senate Mr.. Plumb In charge OF
the District Of Columbia appropriation bill stated
that the changes made by the Senate committee
were few and unmporlant. They had made a
reduction Of $4,000 leaving the total as reported
to the Senate, S2,3G7,76Z Less than quorum was
present while tho bill was being considered. The
TO the salary of the Engineer Commissioner Of The
District. This was fixed by tho House at s5 900
and by the Senate committee at the pay and
allowances OF his rank in the Army or 81 100 less.
Ailer remarks by Messrs. Cockrell, Sherman, Beck
and Conger, the committee amendment pre-
Yailed-2G 10 10. The committee amendment
changing tho law so Ms TO provide that one of the
District Commissioners may be non resident

PENNSYLVANIA.

The Pennsyl vanians now in Washing
ton discuss with great freedom the politi-
cal situation in the Keystone State. The
average opinion among Democrats and
Republicans appears to be that the Inde-
pendents are weak in being unable to
show why they bolted. They were al
lowed their own way at the Harrisburg
convention, and the nomination of Gen
ernl Beaver was not the work of any fac
ton. A groundless revolt cannot secure
n hold upon the people. The Republi-
cans Of Pennsylvania cannot be screamed
into swamping their party by the
bitter enemies of single man, who
is not himself candidate this year
for any office. If the Independents
do not want Mr.. Cameron's leadership
they will regret it when he offers himself
us candidate two years from now. The
senseless outcry against him now will
not last far into the campaign, for the
reason that is ill-timed, and the people
are not as devoid of sense us the indie,
pendent managers appear to imagine
The bolt will wither for want of roots
The people will refuse TO be exercised
because a few angry olllce-scekers are
disgruntled. The boilers make nc
complaint except ms to offices. The
Democracy are more divided to-day thar
are the Republicans. When the Demo
cratic State ticket is in the field, and tn,
procession begins TO march, the Repub
Leans will suspend war upon each other
and rally to Beaver, against whom NJ
man has said or can say one word. Til,
Pennsylvania situation is better for til,
Republicans than it was in 1872 at th
same time, and Hartranlt was elected b.
splendid majority.

WINNING HIS WAY.

Among the bright young men from the West
who have come prominently to the front in the
present Congress is Colonel William II. Calkins,
who now represents the thirteenth Indiana dis
trict, Before the war he was poor young man,
with limited opportunities for education, and had
a widowed mother aud several younger children
depending upon him for support. When tho re-
bcllion was crushed he returned home, studied
law, and finally, six years ago, was first elected to
Congress, where he was known as an honest and
faithful representative. At tho commencement Of
the present session, Mr.. Speaker Aefer had the
good sense to mako Colonel Calkins chairman of
the standing Committee on Privileges and Elec-
tons, which position Is OF more Khan usual i'm
pOrtance now because Of the large number Of con.
tested-se cases that 1t has TO consider. All OF
these Mr.. Calkins has managed with such great
skill and abb ity that his conduct OH the door
OF the House has elected the warm appreciation of
his colleagues, and challenged tho admiration of
the whole country. Although not noted for his
oratory, he has seemed TO rise to the dignity and
responsibility of each occasion, and has often
thrilled the House and galleries with his forciblo
elCquencc In manner that has called down the
Utah case Of Campbell vs., Cannon, which in.
yolyed the whole question OF polygamy, Colonel
Calkins, IN summing up the arguments and the
reasons that ought to govern the action OF Con-
gress, gave voice to the moral sentiment of the
whole country In Il speech that would have done
credit TO any man.. For the last ten days he has
been constantly under the fire Of all the leading
Democratic iilibusteTs of the House, during the
consideration Of the partisan fight over the case Of
Mackey VS.. Dibble, and has proved himself to be a
bold, able and courageous parliamentary debater
and leader. Indeed, his present conspicuous po-
sition in the House and the signal ability he has
displayed have made him freely talked Of as a
probable aud available candidate for Speaker OF
the next House, while his friends at home are dis-
cussing the propriety of making him the next Re-
publican candidate for governor of Indiana

the Clayton-Bulwer treaty-treating it as

IT is considered certain that California
will give us a gain of two Congressman
and Nevada one. We shall gain one in
Maine. New York, Pennsylvania, and
the Northwest will more than hold their
own. The upheaval at tho South bids
fair to create stampede that may give
us a gain of thirty members. The Bour-
bons in that section see the handwriting
on the wall. So long as votes were not
required they could easily manufacture
members.

IF Mr.. Manning can retain his seat
from the second district in Mississippi,
q deadly blow will be thereby struck at
the cause of free and fair elections in
that State. We assure our Republican
friends in the House that there is more
being done in Mississippi toward re-
deeming it from political slavery than
seemed possible year ago, more than
is apparent, and more than is known to
the Bourbons themselves The brutality,
open fraud, and bold violations of law
which precenied any election at all in
the second district of Mississippi, present
as strong case against Manning as can
be found in any one of the contested
cases in this Congress. If he retains his
seat, no Bourbon outrage will be re-
Trained from in his district this year.
If he is sent back with his antagonist,
Colonel Buchanan, it will be notice that
an election must precede the seating of
u member. Buchanan was confeder-
ate, and one who came into the Republic
can ranks soon after the war was over.
He is true man and gentleman. The
testimony in the case forbids the idea of
allowing it to rest. We shall print por-
tions of it from day to day, and shall not
cease to urge the expulsion of the inter-
loper.

A WASHINGTON correspondent Of the
New York Sun says that the remedy for
the awful doings of the Republicans in
Congress, in pitching defeated candidates
from the seats given them in that body
by Southern usurping governors, is to be
found at the ballot-boX. Right again.
But this time it won't be so difficult for
Republicans to find the ballot-boX.

seen in the fact that gentlemen who in

This is all good as far as it goes. The
House has been as heroic in what it has
done as it would be pusillanimous if it
were now to halt. The work done proves
that The majority kno,uS lis duty and has The
pomer TO peyormu! To pause now would
be without excuse, and would be worse
than not to have moved at all. The in
famous methods adopted by the Bourbon
minority to overbear and swindle the
majority out of representation in half
the districts of the South are no longer q
matter of doubt or discussion. They are
gross and palpable. They will not be
repeated in the districts which the House
has righted. NoU for The others. What
reason can our party give if it does not
wholly purge the House of intruders

Tho Contested ELECTION Cnscs.

The House of Representatives has
made good beginning in the contested
cases. The tardiness ofthe action--nearly
six months of the session having passed
away before the unseating of the first
four Of the Bourbon usurpers-was partly
owing TO the sense of doubt whether any
remedy could be found for the threatened
filibustering tactics of the opposition.
The Committee on Elections had vast
amount of work to do in considering the
voluminous testimony, and in listen
ing to the arguments of the par
ties and their counsel. But nt last,
the reports in some cases being ready,
the majority resolutely broke through
the technical cobwebs with which the
minority vainly supposed it was bound,
and the House proceeded TO exercise its
power to first make rules, and then, under
the rules, tojudge of the election, qualiii-
cation, and return of its own members.
Lynch, Mackey, Bisbec, and Lowe have
been admitted to the seats which their
constituents had right to expect would
have been occupied by them months ago
Too much praise cannot be given the
Committee on Elections for their
able reports and the mastery pre-
sentation of the cases on the floor,
Chairman Calkins made q splendid ex-
hibition of power as " parliamentary
leader, alternately aggressive and con-
ciliatory. Mr.. Miller turned the tables
on the opposition in the Mackey case
with great effect when he exploded their
charge that investigation had been de-
MED. Mr.. Reed, with provoking sang
froid, interposed his point of order upon
Mr. Randalrs filibustering motion, and
demonstrated with mathematical pre-
cision the constitutional power of the
majority to complete the organization of
the House and to control the rules of
proceeding. The Speaker, with rare
courage, met the assaults of the almost
desperate minority, and brought to a
successful termination the most memor-
able struggle in parliamentary history.
