WEDNESDAY EVENING, JAN. 8, 10 5
THE.anpiyersary of the battle of New

THEanniversary of the battle OF New
Orleans was celebrated yesterday !"
many of the cities in different parts OF
the country by the men who believe in
the principles and policies that General
Jackson supported, and which, though
eminently wise, have been so often dis
regarded by the party that has made
him its patron saint, and always to its
injury: and yet so grave did the re-
sponsibility of the Presidency appear
to him, but which infinitely weaker
men have assumed without the slight
est hesitancy, that when he was iu-
formed that his admirers were talking
about nominating him for it, he said
'Do they suppose that I am such q
ID fool as to think myself fit for
President of the United States? No,
sir. am not fit to be President" But,
for all that, he made one of the very
best the country ever had. He was
great fighter. too, and the victory he
gained near New Orleans was the most
remarkable in history, that is, where the
two armies were armed alike, his loss
being s killed and IS wounded, while
the British loss was over 26OO. The
South has been prolific in militsr?
men, but, leaving out of view all the
others, she could we'll afford to rest hei
putation in that respect upon her two
Jacksons.

The fact that "Ben Bolt" English
stands guard in the House and objects
to every thing that g. single objection
can kill, for the assigned reason that
private bill Of his own has been so de-
fealed, has given rise so the belief that
he and Mr.. Savers, chairman OF the
House appropriations committee, whose
object is TO keep the appropriations
down to the lowest figures. have made
an agreement by which his little bill
shall be finally provided for.
The Senate committee on foreign re-
Iations this morning directed the me
mortal asking for the appointment OF
two additional United states cohsuls
in Armenia to be favorably recon-
mended to the committee on appropri'-
tons.
The President sent to Congress 90
dav another batch of correspondence
o. Hawaiian affairs.
Chairman Bankhead of the House
buildings and grounds committee said
this morning that nothing definite had
as yet been done in respect of the Sc.
lection of site for the new government
printing office, but that meeting Of
the committee would soon be held at
which it is probable something will lie
done. II is understood that unless the
committee shall agree with the Senate
committee that the lot in which Gen.
| Malone is interested shall be selected,
provision for the purchase of that lot
will be made in one of the regular APP
preparation bills by the Senate, thereby
forcing the House 10 concur,or delay or
prevent the passage OF that bill. Gen.
Malone is still here, and for the first
time in many years did not spend
hristmas with his family at his home
in Petersburg.
The railroad pooling bill which hes
passed the House will, it is understood,
be reported favorably to the Senate
uext week and pass that body also.
As soon as the spring opens the work
of building railroad from the south
end of the Long Bridge 10 the south

Some of the democrats of the House
this morning had quiet talk about ne
advisability of introducing a resolution
consuming Mr.. Sibley for his gross at,
tack upon the President yesterday, and
moving that his remarks be expungec
from the Record, but as it was sug
gested that such a resolution would
provoke long and acrimonious de
bate, and might after all be defeated
and that remarks might be made il
the debate even harsher than those o

the matter drop.

WASHINGTON, Jan. g.
A special meeting of the House judic'
iary committee was called for to-day
for the purpose of allowing the sub
committee which investigated the
charges against Judge Kicks to make
oral reports. A quorum failed to re-
spond. however, and the matter was
postponed until Monday next. This
looks like nothing will be done in the
matter.
In the Court of Appeals here yester-
day Judge Westel Willoughby, former,
" of Alexandria, won suit of $4,000
Tor fees in the Brooks-Mackall case.
Among the visitors on the floor OF
the House to-day was ex-Congressman
John T. Harris, of Virginia.
This was the regular meeting day Tor
the House commerce committee, at
which it was hoped favorable report
ON the bill for bridge across the Pc.
tomac at Arlington would be made by
the subcommittee to which that bill
was referred, but not half quorum
was present, aud nothing could be done
What is going to be done with the
currency of the country no body knows
The Carlisle bill was defeated in the
House to-day, and what ever else may
be done is matter of doubt. The sd-
aninistration having previously declar,
ed its intention Of issuing more gold
bonds. now inti;uates that unless some
thing be done speedily to remove the
pressure, the currency will have to be
but on a silver bases, the result Of
which will be general and immense
loss. There are some congressmen
who still hope. however, that though
the Carlisle bill has gone, some other
bill may possibly be passed. The re-
publicans, the "patrioticnparty, look on
and laugh at the impending distress of
the country, because they say the
blame will fall upon the democrats.
Wise men say there is danger that the
laugh may be On the wrong side of
their mouths, as they represent the
rich, who will suffer most should dis
tnrbances occur.

SENATOR CoCKRELL, in talking about
Senator Lodges bill for applying the
civil rules to consular officers, says be
believes both Mr.. Harrison and Mr..
Cleveland have exceeded the limits OF
the civil service law, and that if the
latter is going on any further with the
"humbug system, "he, Mr.. Cockrell, pro
poses to ''go the whole hog, and in
clude the heads of bureaus, members Of
cabinet, and the President himself"
He says, II do not see why we should
except the President from civil ser
vice examination, if we are going to
include all the rest of the executive Of
ficers of the government" Mr.. Cock
rell has the right sow by the ear.
This government processes to be one OF
equal opportunities to all, and ofspecial
favors to none, and if Waterman and
messengers, whose inefficiency wouldn't
amount to anything, must stand civil
service examinations, there is no con-
ceivable reason why officers entrusted
with duties of the highest responsible
ty should be exempt. The civil service
law should be repealed, or be made APP
,-plicable to all the officers of the gov
ornp,aut
