TIE wEEK,s WORK.
What It is Probable Congress VIII Ac-
compIish i'm the Next Six Days.

To-days session of the house of representa-
tives will probably be devoted to the con
sideration of tho Wallace Mckinley contested
election case, although the day prescriptively
belongs to tho committee on the District of
Columbia. A final vote upon the election case
is not expected before tomorrow. As soon as
il shall have been disposed OF there will BIO
another struggle for precedence in behalf of
the suudry measures standing in tho category
of unfinished business" and the various long
deferred Especial ORDERS" which were
enumerated in last weeks forecast.
Representative Willis intends, however, to
call up the river and harbor appropriation
bill whenever the election contest is out of
the way, and Mr.. Randall says he will ask
the house to enter upon the consideration of
the legislative, executive, and judicial ap-
preparation bill as soon as the river and
harbor bill is disposed Of 1t is estimated that
the latter will consume about three days.
Some members favor limiting tho general
debate upon it to six hours. 1t is possible
that during the latter part of the week the
sundry civil and the fortiication bills will
DO reported to the house. There will
then BIO only one appropriation bill,
namely. the general deficiency, to DO
prepared by the committee. OF the
remainder of the thirteen annual appropria-
ton bils-the pension, Indian, naval, and
postofice-have been passed by both the
house and the senate, but tho house having
refused to concur in numerous amendments
made by the senate they were all referred to
conference mmittees, and still await adjust
ment of the points in controversy. More
than one hundred amendments were added by
| the senate to the Indian appropriation bill.
Prominent members of the house are Of
! opinion that the conference committees will
| fail to agree on the Indian, naval, and post
| office bills; that they will, therefore, BIO
reported back to the house and senate without
conciliatory recommendation, and that a
long discussion of each bill will follow. Tho
army, District Of Columbia, and consular and
diplomatic appropriation bills are yet to be
considered by tho senate committee on APP
preparations. Only two appropriation bills,
viz, the military academy and the agricul-
tural, have been finally passed by both houses
and become laws.
Saturday next by n special order of the
house has been SGT apart for the considera-
ton of bills and resolutions reported from
tho committee on Indian affairs,
The senate is likely to consume the week
in discussing the Utah bill, with the possi-
bility that IL may lay that measure tempo
rariy aside II tho appropriations committee
reports back one of the three appropriation
bills now under consideration by its subcom-
mittees,

A DnnbtTnl Victory.

The democrats have carried Danville and
recovered possession of the municipal Offices.
Thoughtful Virginians will not find much
cause for rejoicing over tho so-called
Victory" For the time being tho minority
has triumphed ovor the majority, but this I'M
natural condition of things cannot last. The
cost of suppressing the votes of n largo por.
ton Of the people of Danville is greater than
any community can bear. The rufiianly and
murdorous spirit which has been encouraged
because it could DO utilized in terrorizing
timid voters will not depart at the mere bid
ding OF those who called it into existence. 1t
will remain to plague society long after it has
done its work at the polls.
Any one who looks at tho returns can SEQ
how this great democratic "victory" was
secured The figures show that the repub-
licans did not vote Most of those who re-
manned away from tho polls were influenced
by fear. They did not care to exercise the
right Of suffrage at the risk of being insulted,
and possibly maltreated. Those who heard
the best citizens of Danvillo testify before
tho Sherman committee will commend
the prudence of the republicans who
thought it safer to stay at homo. 1t
takes tolorably bravo man to face Danville
mob. This is very disgraceful condition of
affairs in free country, and in city within
three hundred miles of the national capital,
but there appears to be no help for it. Tho
only remedy that can be applied is political
one. The party that profits by the intimida-
tion of voters in any section of the country
ought to be held responsible. Whatever the
democrats gain by mob violence in tho south
will weigh against the party in the north.
Danville can only prosper by doing justice
to all her people. Without her colored popu-
lation she would be very poor, indeed. If
rufians arc to BIO permitted to wantonly as
sault and murder colored men because they
dare to vote according to their convictions
they will be compelled to seek homes where
their rights are respected. Virginia lies too
near tho north TO be ruled by the shotgun
Virginia democrats will be obliged to repu-
diate Danville methods if they want to
maintain any standing among civilized men.

THE TWO REPUBLICS.
Pcro Hy"cintbO's Address Upon France
md America Last Evening.

Pcro Hyacintbo's Address Upon France
md America Last Evening.
The New York Avenue Presbyterin church
was filled to its utmost capacity last evening
by people who had come to see and here Pere
Hyacintho the celebrated French evangelist.
Rev. DIR. Bartlett, pastor of the church. read
tho Scriptures and prayed. Then a hymn
was sung, and then DIR. Bartlett intro.
ducod the lecturer. Probably some small
portion of the audience knew that
Pore Hyacintho had not learned the
English language, but II was evident that
by far the greater portion of those present
wore not aware of that interesting fact.
Everybody leaned forward as If IL was rather
difficult to understand the speakers first
words, which seemed to have very decided
foreign accent at least. When at the second
sentence it became apparent that the lecture
was to be in tho French language, the audi
enoe divided its attention. Part Of 1t still
listened intently, and tho others looked about
to SEQ who were there. A few people went
away.
The address has been many times deliv-
cred by Pero Hyacinthe, and is entitled
France and America; or, Tho Politico-
Religious Relations Of the Two Republics"
1t seemed to DO very eloquent address. Pero
Hyacnthe's voice is agreeable aud OCCASION
ally he speaks few sentences in a musical
way, very like chant. His gestures are
numerous and expressive. He spoke of his
| visit to tho tomb of Washington
and drew comparison between
tho Father of his Country" and Napoleon,
very much to the advantage of the former
He spoke of President Garfeld's assassina-
tion and of the perfectly peaceful and undis-
turbed manner in which governmental affairs
| went on after that tragedy, referring also to
the different results which would follow such
an event in France He was not eloquent
in speaking OF the different genius of the two
republics.
| Pero Hyacinthe is o heavily-built square,
shouldered, stout-necked man. with full,
smooth face, like Beecher's. bald desert
runs over the top of his head, relieved by a
small oasis of hair exactly in the center, and
frngod by long, soft, light brown hoir at the
sides. He was dressed in the suit called,
Clerical" buttoned close at the neck,ewith

On yesterday afternoon the large audience
at the Northeast Temperance hall was adj
dressed by Mr.. Hart, the G. w. chief templar
of Good Templars of Pennsylvania. The duties
of the temperance and Christian people in
regard to the treatment of the temperance
question were described. He was followed
by Mr.. jenkins, representative from the
grand lodge of Pennsylvania, who described
the work of the Order of Good Templars and
commended the same to the thoughtful con-
sidcration Of his hearers. Mr.. Kalstrom, the
q. w. chief templar of this district, in q short
address closed as interesting as meeting rs
has yet been hold at this hall.
A large and fashionable audience assembled
last evening at Garied's Memorial church,
where the services were conducted under the
auspices of tho Order of Good Templars, with
the G.. w. Chief Templar, Mr.. Kalstrom,
presiding. Hon. George c. Christian, grand
councillor of the grand lodge of Illinois, was
the first speaker. The high reputation as an
orator which had preceded Mr.. Christian
was fully sustained. Miss Amanda Way, of
Indiana, the veteran Good Templar also
spoke briefly upon the wonderful change and
progress made by the temperance reform.
Aside from the excellent congregational
singing, Mrs. Brook banks, of Indiana, con-
tributed largely to the music of the occasion
by rendering two vocal solos.

A Surprising Bank Statement.

The New York bank statement for the
week ending Saturday, May "a, is not calcu-
lated to convince the financially timid that
tho storm is over. The decrease in cash is
shown to have been $l4, 800, 500 and the con-
traction in loans $l3,461, 800, making total
of SOS, 49,, 300 in one week. The decrease in
bank deposits is found to have been $20,-
CPS, 400, showing discrepancy Of $7,726. 900
Much of this last named sum has
probably gone into the vaults Of the savings
banks, these institutions having very
generally protected themselves against runs
by withdrawing their deposits. This state of
affairs will be reassuring to small depositors,
who do not relish the thought of having
their little savings swallowed up in that
great lmaelstrom "the street" The worst
feature of the statement is the reserve de-
crease of $9,734,150. This places the reserve
$6,G07, 1875 below tho legal requirements, and
would seem to call for immediate inquiry on
! the part of the comptroller of tho currency
Such deficit is calculated to cause a general
distrust to BIO felt. Money is still within the
reach of borrowers who have substantial
security to offer, but the gamblers are
having hard time of it, and the news of
q general shaking out of weak brethren dur
ing the next ten days need not occasion SUR
prise. Gentlemen who have been buying
and selling property on a ten cent margin
ore in imminent danger of getting swept into
deep water. They should lose no time in
providing themselves with life preservers.
The solid business men, who do business on
business principles, have nothing to fear.

A MAN who contests the seat of judge
ought to DO willing to submit his claim to
judicial determination. The defeated demo.
cratic candidate for Judge, in the twenty-hrst
judicial district of Louisiana, refuses to do
this, and asks the governor to Gust the
lawfully elected incumbent by military
force. Gov McEnery has ordered two COM

ness to proceed to New Iberia and assist in

And so they worked with might and main,
And lied, aud sweat, and swore,
And button holed each democrat,
And money spent galore.

THE question is asked. AS between repub.

the country so generally favor tho nominal

strongest man. lie may not possess super
natural "brilliancy," nor do his friends put
