has done all the harm it is capable Of
doing The public must look for relief
from another quarter
The present want of harmony I'm the
majority in congress makes II impos-

pare some financial system, and when
that has been done let congress go to
work and pass the bill"

or Government With Firmness.
Quarantine. Dec 25.-Dr. ]. A. Tan
ner, late physician of the Brazilian
cruiser Nitcheroy, arrived home this
morning from Rio Janeiro. The doctor
states that he was present at the in
auguration of President Moraes, and
was guest at the reception given the
president on the same evening. He de-
scribes him as of dignifed and serious
expression and of broad and liberal
views. He has every reason to believe
that his administration will be peaceful
and prosperous. There appears to be
no indication of a revolt in the army
and navy. The navy is in a great meas
ure hostile to the army, and no insur-
rection can succeed without the CON
certed action of the army and navy.
The president is quite popular with the
whole people. He has already granted
amnesty to nearly all the participants
in the late rebellion. with the exception
OF Admirals Mello and Da Cana. Mello
is still reported to be at Montevideo.
The editors of the principal Rio papers
nave been pardoned and have returned
70 the capital. The sanitary condition
OF the city is excellent, very few cases
OF yellow fever being noticed.

can be CLEANED concerning their move

cision it was decided to make an effort to
secure the passage through the present
congress of a bill which in effect would
Vitiate the decision of the supreme court
by making legal in the sale and distribu-
ton of oleomargarine everything that Jus

to have gone to Washington and sought
the counsel of veteran lobbyists only to
receive the advice that the passage of such
a measure through the present congress.
or even through any of its branches.

short OF a miracle. Until the next con-
gress meets, therefore, the decision of
Justice Harlan will be the law of the

Harlan county has been the scene OF more

some little probability to the story. II is im-
possible to verify the report by wire. aud thu
