Senate.

The resolution offered on Monday by Mr.
| Riddleberger suspending the rules as to ex
ecutve sessions during the consideration o
the fisheries treaty, was laid before the Sen
ate by the presiding officer.
| Mr.. EdnIunds moved that the doors b,
closed.
Mr. Harris seconded the motion.
Mr. Riddlebeger asked Mr.. Elmunds to
withdraw his motion. He said he simply
wanted to make statement and would moi
discuss the treaty at all.
Mr.. Edmunds, however, persisted in hi.
motion, and the sergeant alarms was direct
ed by the presiding officer to clear the CALLER
les and close the doors.
After its executive session and the transact
ing of some unimportant business the Senate
resumed the consideration of the bill for the
admission of South Dakota. 1t was address
ed by Mr.. Vest in opposition.
In the course of Mr.. Vests speech, Mr..
Vest and Mr.. Edmunds had colloquy over
the electoral commission of 1876. Mr.. Vest
said that if the Southern States had done hat
Dakota did, Edmunds would have proposed
another such piece of legislation seated
Hayes. Edmunds asserted that nine-tenths
of the people in the country believed Hayes
to have been elected. MIR. Vest disagreed
and said that if Hayes was elected, Packard
was. Mr. Conkling had, in the Senate
chamber alluded to Hayes as a fraud.
Mr. Edmunds doubted the statement and said
he believed that Conkling honestly thought
that Hayes was elected He was foremost
among the advocates of the electoral commits
sion.
Mr. Vest insisted that Conkling had made
the statement attributed to him many times.
Justice Strong had made similar statement.
Mr. Vest then read read the reports of recent
corruption in Rhode Island, and charged the
republicans with increasing their wealth by
terrible taxation, and then using the same in
the purchase of elections. The democrats
favored the admission of Dakota entire but
not divided
Mr.. Edmnnds took the floor in support of
the bill, but it was laid aside, with the
unanimous consent that the vote be taken.
The bill appropriating S25,000 for mon
ument to Major Gen. Henry Knox at Thom-
aston Maine, was taken up, discussed by
Mr. Berry in opposition and Mr.. Frye in fa-

approprating S75, 900 for public building

The worn out mother sighs;
Stockings to mend, and trousers to darn,
Dishes to wash, and butter to churn,
While my back feels to break, and head and
heart burn,
And life is a constant friction.

The matron no longer sighs;
Elastic her step, and rounded her cheek,
Work seems but play, life is now sweet,
And the change was made in one short week,
BY DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription.

General Congressional News

The fractional currency bill passed by the
House came up in the Senate finance COM
mttee today. Senator Aldrich of Rhode Is
land has plan which he thinks is better
than any vet proposed His plan is to issue
a form of postal note in denominations of ),
10. 25 and 80 cents which can be purchased
in quantities in the post offices and redeemed
in lawful money at money order offices.
Secretary Fairchild expressed the opinion
that the plan would be much better than that
of issuing fractional silver certificates. They
would be as negotiable as postage stamps, and
would have the advantage of being redeema-
bic at the money order offices where pur-
chased, because the ordinary course would
be from the small offices to the business CEN
tres, where they would be presented in con-
siderable amounts for redemption
The treasury officials have opposed the
House bill authorizing the issue of fraction
al silver certificates on the ground that it
will not accomplish its purpose without drv-
ing our the fractional silver coin. The treas
ury officials are opposed to a large issue of
fractional paper, and they are inclined to the
opinion that Senator Aldrich's plan will
reach the difficulty more directly and effect
lively.
Notes.
Secretary Fairehild issued notice today
that beginning with Monday the 22d inst. and
daily thereafter at noon until furthur notice
proposals will be received at the Treasury
for the purchase of L. 5. bonds of the Acts
of July IA, 1870, and January 20, 1871.
The purchase will be made by authority OF
both houses of Congress. This notice is
the result of discussion at today's cabinet
meeting. The tr, asury estimate of the pre-
sent surplus is sl05 900, 900.

DAKOTA.
SOMEWHERE

On December 5th, two days after the
meeting of Congress, convention will
be held in jamestown, to further the
early admission of Dakota into the
Union. 1t is to be hoped that the en-
terprising people of the progressive de-
pendency will crowd the business and
either force the Territory into the
Union, or get the opponents to State
hood in Congress into an awkward
fix. The people are asking for two
States. and two should be created. The
Territory is large-lsrger in fact, than
half a dozen Eastern States. 1t already
has a population of 600. 900, which is in
tr.asing very rapidly. By the time the
next census shall be taken there will be
a million people in what is now en-
braced:in Dakota, and then the country
will be little more than wilderness, so
far as the density of population is con-
cerned. People are going there SO fast,
and will continue TO move onto its
fertile plains in such droves,' that in
q little while men will wonder
that there ever was any doubt
of the wisdom of creating two States
instead of one. The only OBJECTION that
anv person can raise to the immediate
admission cf the Territory as two
states. is that both will be Republican
in politics, and will increase the power
of that party IN the nation. That is no
objection at all, or at least none which
statesmen should consider. If 1t were
valid. no Territory could be admitted to
the Union until it would give guaran-
Zee to remain in harmony with tbs poll
teal party admitting it, and divided
Congress would forever keep the de-
Tendencies in their anomalous and I'M
repu biican condition.
THE HERALD hopes thati in the course
of few months the people of Dakota
will be elevated to American citizen
ship. and given the right of local self
government. We hope the present
Congress will have the manhood to ig-
nere the question of party politics, and
