TXORBITANT LANDLORDS.
From present indications il would
seem that the atteGdance al the inaugu-
ration of Presilent-clect Harrison will
be extremely large. The arrangements
have so far been well perfected. and the
affair will no doubt pass of according to-
the plan which has been promulgated by
the Inauguration Committee.
The hotel keepers appear TO have en-
tered into kind of trust on combination
TO put up the prices of board during in
au0uratiOn week, Notwithstanding the
statement made by the committee that
such would not be the case. They claim
that the past four years have been un-
profitable and that there is no reason 10
suppOse that the Office seekers viii swarm
10 Washington i'm larger numbers during
Harrison administration than they have
done during Cleveland consequently
they in.end to make hay while the sun
shines
Those who are intending TO visit the
city during the inaugural week, and
have not vet secured quarters viii hnd
great difficulty in procuring rooms for
either love or money
Those who are now inQuirng find ihat
they are asked by both h0iel-keepers and
boardng-houso keepers from So 20 Sl2
per day. and even as much as 500 10 S23
per day, where the rooms are situated on
the line of march of the procession.
This is not all, however. The land
lords also demand that the contract shall
commence from the date IL is made the
room 10 be occupied By the contractor
for one week ending the morning
Of March 9TH IL will thus be
seen that the rooms assigned 10
the persons who shall occupy them
are now being used By other persons,
and consequently the landlords are reap
ing a double harvest. Hard as these
terms appear. they are being accepted
by persons from an parts OF the country,
and as above stated, il is now extremely
difficult 10 secure even an ordinary room
in the city for that period.
REGULATING SOUTHERN ELECTIONS.
Senator Sherman's bin for the regula-
ton Of elections, introduced few days
aro. will not be considered at this scs-
sion of Congress, as the Committee on
Elections considers il useless 20 report
the bill in view of the great amount OF
necessary legislation vet to be consid-
cred before March 4th.
The provisions Of the bill are attract
ing great deal of attention, especially
i'm the South, where any attempt TO
change the election laws is looked upon
with suspicion, as prejudicial to the best
interests of the country.
Colonel NJ L. Carroll. prOminet law
yer of Augusta, Ca. bas given The bill
his careful study, and in conversation
with the TIMES correspondent yesterday
said The bill is a direct blow az the
autonomy of the South. No matter
what the origin is, the effect Of the en-.
forcement of the provisions OF this blll
is 10 procure a full negro vote in the
Southern States. That is its unalloyed
object. and that means, in many dis
tricts. the political domination of the
negro and the worst white element This
bill would more completely place the cleo
tions under Federal control than did the
carpet-bag government in the South dur
ing the days of reconstruction. Then the
supervisors were appointed by the state
Governments. and that system had al
least the merit Of appointing residents oi
the State. BY this bill. however, the
President must appoint Federal super
visors and il can be readily understood
that men appointed and sent from the
North TO have control over the Southern
elections. would influence the minds ol
the negroes that their political rights had
been trampeed upon, and would break up
the present peaceful condition, lead 10 q
+ revolt and a return 90 negro supremacy
which would naturally follow. IL would
also produce an irrcprcssible conulct ne
tween the negroes and the whites. 10
