Ventilation of the House of Repre sentatives.—The question of the proper ventilation of the Hall of th- H^nse of Representatives at Washington l ing one of serious importance. It is serted that the present serious illness of several members of that body is traceable to the foul atmosphere of the haii, and the significant statement was made in the House by Mr. Hoar, of Massa chusetts, that during his brief service of eight years in that body seven members of the delegation from his State had died. A report was made in the House from a sub-committee on the ven tilation of the hall to the effect that it was impossible to force into the House a sufficient supply of fresh air for the supply of six hundred persons, and ac companying the report was a resolution to exclude from the galleries all persons except those who have the privilege of the reporters’ and diplomatic galleries, and such as may be admitted on the cards of members. Extreme Republicans will of course oppose this proposition as de signed to exclude the colored people, who daily crowd the galleries ; but it is pro bably the best temporary expedient that can be adopted. Iu the meantime the employment of the best engineering skill is suggested in order that a perma nent corrective may be applied in regard to the ill-ventilation of the hall. Reduction of the President’s Salary* The Senate on Thursday passed, though not by a very large majority, a bill to re duce the President’s salary after the 4 th <# March to the old rate of $25,000 per annum. Mr. Rayard was the only one of the Presidential candidates in the Senate who voted against the reduction. Mr. Conklin showed an indication to dodge the vote, but he thought better of it in time to record his vote in favor of the bill. Both Messrs. Morton and Thurman voted in the affirmative. The vote was not by any means a party division. Four teen Republicans and twe lve Democrats voted in the affirmative, and fourteen om * Republicans and five Demociats in the negative. Mr. Howe and one or two other Republicans dodged. The discussion on the bill was, says the Washington correspondent of the Baltimore Sun, quite brief, but it was developed that the weight of opinion was that a salary of $50,000 was not gen erally conceded to be too much for the President of the United States. Mr. Bayard, 'in conversation after the passage of the bill, said that he had voted against it because he regarded $50,000 at this day as a very inferior salary to $25,000 when that amount was fixed. He recalled the fact that the sum of $25,000 was fixed at the suggestion of Washing ton himself, who stated that he would only ask for a sum sufficient to pay his necessary expenses. The action of the Senate was not final, as a motion was en tered by Mr. Christiancy to reconsider. The bill to reduce the President’s salary will no doubt pass the House, but it is stated in the Washington dispatches that Grant has determined to veto it. He perhaps feels a personal interest in the salary of his successor. Pertinent.—The New York Tribune, referring to the late Republican victory in New Hampshire, where it has been shown that the party most able to buy votes is generally the successful one in an election, says: “In a State where one tenth of the voting people hold their open palms behind them for a bribe, there is not likely to be such a revolt against the immoralities and corruption recently brought to light as would over turn a party. Whoever supposed the Belknap and Babcock business and all the procession of iniquities that wait on Grantism would work upon the New Hampshire conscience to the overturning of the party in power very seriously mis took the temper of the people, the strength of partisanship, and more thaD all, the pervading distrust of Democracy.” The Heathen Chinee.—According to the San Francisco Chronicle the heathen Chinee continually outwits the Caucasian by his persistent patience and industry. Every branch of the latter yields to their endeavor, and from every trade and oc cupation in which they engage the Amer ican and European retires discomfited and beaten. “So far,” says the Chronicle, “the Chinaman has triumphed in everj conflict in which he has been opposed. We have passed laws against gambling, prostitution, vagrancy and begging; against theatrical performances after mid night and noisy amusements. We haye endeavored to bring them within sanitary regulations; we have endeavored to col lect from them licenses and taxes; we havo sought to prevent the immigration of paupers and mendicants; and, so far, they have defeated all laws by the simple policy of non-resisting submisait The Cadetship Sales.—The news from Washington with respect to the sale of cadetships is painful, but surgery is al ways so. The romoval of tumors is never a pleasant operation, although the pa tient is usually better for it after it is over. If it is Irue that appointments to the West Point Military Academy have been sold, not by one cr two members of Congress, but by so many of them that a Washington lawyer has been able to do a profitable business as a broker in this sort of patronage, it is very necessary that the precise facts and all the facts shall be known. The subject is one which cannot be covered'up with safety. The New York Sun says : “If Congre gationalism shall consent to take its law from Brother Shearman, its practice from Henry Ward Beecher, and its instruction from Dr. Noah Porter, it will be the most stoutly intrenched school cf free love in ihe world; and Victoria Woodhull will have succeeded, through the machina- nations of her enemies, in planting her standard over the citadel of Puritanism itself.” Specie Payments In New Jersey.—A bill has been introduced in the New Jer sey House of Assembly providing that after April 1st, 1879, all taxes levied or assessed shall be collected in gold, gold certificates, or national bank notes re deemable in gold on demand, and that contracts or obligations made or im plied shall be payable in United States coin. A Washington special says the Texai border committee has completed the taking of the testimony, and the chair man is now engaged in writing a report, which will recommend the sending of additional troops to Texas, and the giving of the officers authority to cross into Mexico, if they find it necessary, to cap ture marauding bands. Following the recent decision of the United States Supreme Court, Judge Jackson, of West Virginia, has decided that the act imposing a license tax on hawkers and pedlers is unconstitutional in so far as it discriminates against arti cles manufactured in another State and brought to West Virginia for sale by the manufacturer. A Famous Bribe.—The Postmaster General has received the following letter from Chiilieoibe, Ohio : “I would like to obtain a situation in the mail depart ment on the Scioto Valley Railroad, now in the oourse of construction, and which is nearly completed. I will pay you $100 for the position. Can also furnish good security, as well as the beat of references. Af Extensive t.vyiisi.atuek The Legislature Louisiana Legislature oosts the taxpayers between $4,000 and $5,000 a day. Asia the New Orleans Picayune thinks that it hardly be denied that if for the will lairt ten years the State had h<- ' ag islature at all its condition woui e an the better.” The New York Sun says three months of a Democratic majority in the House has made it as impossible for any candf date for the Presidency who favored o flattered or used or Protected GraiiUsrn to be elected, as for Grant himself to get a nomination for the third term.

Brother Orville continues to be a source of unhappiness to the Republican press. The Cincinnati Gazette has been trying to roach around the President to get a whack at him for some days, and has at last struck. The blow has fallen on the President, as well as on the obnoxious brother, as might have been expected, since the two are so close together. This is the bungling way the Gazette did it: “There can hardly be a case of meaner, more sordid and degrading trading on blood relationship to the President. But Orville Grant seems to be unconscious of this degradation of the influence of his illustrious brother: and the brother him self seems to have been unconscious that this giving his brother a roving license to trade on his relationship was anything unbecoming his high position. The Independent Republican press spoke oat plainly on this Orville Grant scandal at the beginning,yet he had not the grace to discontinue this business. He even had the hardihood to face this Republican censure and the hostile House of Repre sentatives which he knew was elected. Indeed, it is evident that he has that low and sordid nature which makes him un conscious that there was any indolicacy in this. In the view of this notorious operatiou, could Belknap suppose that a levy on a post tradership would bring him any censure from his chief ?” The loyal reader is left in harrowing doubt as to which brother is meant by the sen tence, “He has that low and sordid na ture which makes him unconscious that there was any indelicacy in this. ” The Rotten Freedman’s Bank.—The special committee on Freedman’s Bank affairs will shortly conclude its investiga tions and submit their report. It is said their conclusions will be very damaging to the reputations of certain gentlemen who were connected with the institution prioi. j ite failure, as they will also re flect severely upon the commissioners who are settling up its affairs. The com mittee will probably report in favor of takiDg the concern out of the hands of the commissioners, and recommend turn ing it over to the Treasury Department. A sub-committee is now looking up the legal authorities on this point, and if they conclude that such a course would be iu accordance with law, it will un doubtedly be recommended. The Proposed Substitution of Silver for Fractional Currency. A Washington letter says it is probable that Mr. Randall will ask the House to postpone the consideration of the legis lative, executive and judicial appropria tion bills, in order to take up the silver resumption bill. The Secretary of the Treasury finds himself with fifteen mil lion dollars of silver on his hands, purchased under the resumption act of last year, and for which he has paid about fifty-seven pence sterling an ounce, while it is now worth only fifty-three and a half pence, and it is generally believed among experts that it will fall to forty- eight pence. He is natnrally desirous to get this elephant off his hands, but there will be strong opposition in the House to the passage of a bill substituting silver for fractional currency. Mr. Hewitt, of New York, has prepared a speech, in which he will show the mischief of such a step, the losses which it will certainly impose upon the country, and the per sons who will suffer loss, who are the working people ; and other speakers will also be heard on the same side, and the debate will be earnest and probably prolonged. It is not improbable that the House, if it rejects the general substitu tion of silver for fractional currency, as it ought to, may allow the Secretary to put out the $15,000,000 he has coined and on hand, as it is believed that this will remain in the pockets of the people, as tokens, and in any case, if the issue stops there, there will not be a redun dance of silver coin. There are members of the House so infatuated with the idea of silver resumption, so called, that they already speak of further legislation making silver legal tender for sums of ten, twenty and even a hundred dollars. The question puzzles a great many of the members, and a thorough discussion of it is needed to make the danger gener ally understood with which the country i« threatened by this so-called silver re sumption scheme. The Savannah News. [From the Rainbridfe Weekly Democrat.] We have been a silent, though none tiie less interested, witness to the con- •▼ersy between the Savannah News and the Atlanta Constitution, relative to the State Road lease bribery business, and we feel no little gratification at the handsome manner in which the News has sustained its side of the question. We are gratified because we feel that the position taken by the News in this mat ter reflects the sentiments of the true and honest portion of the press Georgia, and on this occasion was the special champion of those editors who possess the true manhood which we think ought to belong to every member of the fourth estate. We are further gratified because it has been proven that we have at least a few papers in Georgia that cannot be bought to do any dirty work which may be assigned them—not even to publishing ten dollar sketches. The News has long been very justly the pride of newspaper admirers in Geor gia, and this last successful vindication of its principles toward right, honesty and decency has advanced it yet higher in the estimation of honest men every where. As for ourselves, we have not for a single moment had our confidence shaken in the paper, and did not require the truth-impressed editorial of Colonel Thompson, or the “card” of Mr. Estill, to assist us m arriving at a conclusion—that conclusion being that the position as sumed in the outset by the News has been fully sustained. We do not write this to censure the Constitution, for that paper has already met with a solid rebuke during its advo cacy of a bad cause, but to commend the News for its devotion to truth and right, and to give it thanks for the bold and uncompromising defense put up in favor of the morality of the press of Georgia. inv Admttsmnrts. GRAY, O BRIEN & CO. OFFER DURING THE Washington specials represent that General Belknap has summoned as his wit nesses all the general and staff officers of the army, and from being dejected and low-spirited, he is now confident that he will sustain himself, even before the im peachment court. It is said that he maintains that with the exception of the Marsh matter, he is guiltless of any charge whatever, and courts the fullest investigation. On the other hand the sub-committee of the House Judiciary Oommittee are credited with having ob tained possession of eight express money orders, for $1,500 each, paid by Marsh to Belknap, and signed by the latter. They have also, it is said, obtained possession of express receipts given to Marsh in New York, which were sent on to Mr. Belknap here by him, marked “O. K.”on the back, and returned to Marsh. Dem ocrats as well as Republicans manifest much impatience over the hitch in the impeachment business, but it must ba re membered that the whole power and pat ronage and money of the dominant party is being used to embarrass the investiga tors in every possible way. Some little time is necessary to overcame these ob stacles, but the due punishment of the self-confessed bribe-taker may be re garded as a foregone conclusion. Settling the Mexican Disputes.— In a letter to the New York Herald, Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, of Tennessee, proposes a summary way of disposing of the dis putes with Mexico growing out the border raids. Gen. Pillow is anxious that President Grant should seize and annex two of the border States of the Mexican republic, so as to make the Sierra Madre and the Rio Panuco the boundary between the two countries, and, after explaining the way in which this ought to be done, he adds r * If Mexico chose to consider this act of ours a cause for war (as it would be), let her accept it, and have it to her heart’s content. If she wanted a few million dollars to reconcile her to the loss of territory, give her five million dollars, or even ten million dollars. ” His recent misfortunes must have im paired the General’s intellect. The Chicago Times is responsible for the following charges against the Secre tary of the Navy : The latest revelations of robbery in the Washington navy yard are connected with the erection of Robe son’s new house. According to the ac counts, a large part of the work upon that palatial structure, and of the material used in it, were taken from the navy yard and paid for by the government. Walnut for paneling and wainscoating was taken from the yard, it seems, in large quanti ties, and skilled workmen were put upon the pay-rolls and employed in this sort of ornamental finishing at the Secretary’s house. Then a part of the yard appears to have been turned into a sort of cabinet shop for the manufacture of sideboards, hatracks, fancy tables, and even work- boxes for gifts to the friends of the Secre tary’s wife. The plundering in connec tion with the Robeson palace, so far as traced, foots up somewhere near twelve thousand dollars. Among the smaller abuses in vogue at Washington we are told that a $2,000 Treasury clerk has been “detailed” for the past two years as private secretary of Senator Cameron. The private secretary of Senator West, of Louisiana, is on the pay roll of the War Department, young man from the Indian Bureau serves Senator Wright, of Iowa, in the same oapacity, and Logan draws on the War Department. All these men are paid out of the Treasury, though per forming no public service. It is said that Secretary Bristow is aware of this fraud, but declines to interfere. Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, made a speech the other night, in New Hampshire, to help along the Radical cause. Address ing the Union soldiers he said, “get out the musket of 1801, bring it to tho shoulder, look along the barrel, and say : ‘Old gun how would you vote ?’ ” The Nashville American answers : If an hon est gun it wouldn’t vote at all, bul belch its load of buck-shot into the coat-tail of some o^ Mr. Garfield’s party, who, under cover of just such appeals have been robbing live soldiers at post-tradership stations, and making money out of the headstones of dead ones. If the Pacific railroads are allowed to run on as they are now going there will be a balance due the government by them when their subsidy bonds mature of one hundred and fifty millions of dollars. This, of course, can never be collected, and the government will be a loser to that extent. This is one of the legacies of former Republican Congresses with which the present House is called upon to deal. The history of these roads is one of the grossest legislative fraud and corruption. Much excitement prevails in St. Louis over a contest between the city govern ment and the two leading gas companies there. The city claims title to the works of both since 1870, olleging that the profits derived since that date belong to it The City Council has declined to pay farther bills for gas, and the Laclede Company has informed the Mayor that the gas will be shut off in the northern part of the city unless the gas bills are paid by the 1st of April. The Mayor has directed the city engineer to furnish estimates of the cost of lighting the streets with oil. Congressman Lamar, of Mississippi, is reported seriously ill, and is threatened with paralysis. He has gone to New York to consult a physician, and will afterward go to his home in Mississippi, to remain for the present It is doubtful whether he will be able to oontinue his labors as a member of the House. His absence will be a serious loss to the Dem ocratic side of the House. He has been unwell all winter, and, having once had a shock of paralysis, his physical condition is a critical one. Finchback left Washington for New Orleans on Wednesday night It is said he will make terms with Kellogg to be the appointee to the Senate, in which event the Republican Senators who voted against his admission on the ground of illegal election will find themselves at loggerheads with the administration. This, however, is of little consequence mn-jo the election in New Hampshire is an endorsement of Radical rule and Re publican jobbery. After Mb. Fish’s Son-in-Law.—The House Committee on Foreign Affairs has been taking testimony bearing on the oft-repeated charges of improper influ ence exerted by Sydney Webster in the matter of the various negotiations pend ing between the United States and Spain. Mr. Webster is the son-in-law of Secre tary Fish, and has been for years the re tained counsel of the Spanish Govern ment Among those alleged to be involved in the Washington real estate pool are Judge Mac Arthur, of the District bench, Gen. Belknap, Chas. A. Eldridge, of Wisconsin, and Pierce M. Young, of Georgia. Mb. Pendleton’s Case.—A correspon dent addresses us a note requesting us to correct an error in our article in Satur day’s issue. He says: “In your edito rial upon Hon. George H. Pendleton in this morning’s paper, you have uncon sciously done him injustice, through an unfortunate confusion of the Bowler with the Bower name. Mr. Pendleton is the brother of Mrs. Bowler, of Cincin nati, whose husband was, at the time of his death, a large owner of the Kentucky Central Railroad. The Bowlers are in no way related to the Bowers of Belknap fame.” We very cheerfully make the correc tion, and wish we coaid think with our correspondent that it “will go far to alleviate the aspect of the case,” as pre sented by the testimony which has been made public, and which we at this time have no desire to further comment upon. A Heavy Bid fob a Contract.—On Tuesday the House Committee on Mili tary Affairs examined Bridges, the Iowa man, who was interested in the head stones contract. From his testimony it was elicited that he paid $20,000 to a cer tain party for influence iu obtaining his share of the contract, and that through information obtained certain bids were not filed until within fifteen minutes of the time for opening the proposals. An administration whose officers would rob dead soldiers of their tombstones is not above suspicion ot tampering with the living. The House has, therefore, ordered inquiries into the management of the Soldiers’ Home and the National Home for Disabled Volunteers. Those whb swindled the poor freedmen out of their bank deposits, would not hesitate to make money out of the sick soldiers. Promises for Marsh.—It is reported from Washington that the House Judici ary Committee will request the Attorney General to convey to Mr. Marsh the as surance that he will not be criminally prosecuted if he returns to the United States to testify in the impeachment case of Gen. Belknap. There is no prospect that the Senate will pass the Honse bill for the protection of witnesses. Bloody Shirt Morton’s friends are los ing hope. One of them informed the editor of the Cincinnati Commercial re cently, with tear-bedimmed eyes, that he believed it was all over. Between the soft-money plank in the Indiana platform and the “betrayal” of Pinchback in the house of his fiiends, Mr. Morton’s prospects have been badiy damaged. The Cotton Claim Investigation.— The late publications which have been made regarding cotton claims alleged to have been paid improperly under the present head of the Treasury Department are understood to refer more particularly to a claim in which the wife of the Secre tary was said to be interested, as the heir of the original claimant. It is said that this claim had been rejected under a former Secretary, and that it was paid to a claim agent of Washington, who is a personal friend of the present Secretary. The facts in the case will no doubt come out during the investigation to be made into the operations of th6 Cotton Bureau. Washington specials continue to inti mate that the evidence before the investi gating committees is damaging to the President. It may be more difficult to make out a case against Grant, but there is a growing conviction in the public mind that, under the circumstances, the guiltiest and must unscrupulous of the whole lot is the occupant of the White House. His position on the salary ques tion is at least evidence enough that he is not the man to consider his purse trash nor the loss of a good name the most serious impoverishment. Reductions in the Tbeasuby.—Ac cording to a Washington dispatch there is considerable excitement among the fifty-three special Treasury agents over the fact that they are not only not pro vided for in the legislative bill, but the provision of law authorizing th6ir ap pointment is also repealed. The bill also peremptorily directs the Secretary to re duce ten per cent, the salaries of all cus toms officers where salaries are over $1,200, and to take means looking to a further reduction of the customs force. " The Baltimove Gazette desires to know what has become of Mr. James G. Blaine s school amendment and of the President’s message on the same subject last December. The Gazette thinks that in the light of recent revelations, an amendment and a message in regard to the penitentiaries would have been much more timely. If McDonald wishes to escape a la Tweed, he is being afforded ample op portunity. Almost any fine night he may be seen taking a walk for the good of his health through the streets of St. Louis, accompanied only by a single constable or deputy. But perhaps after his friend ly and confidential interview in jail with Babcock and Judge Krum, McDonald has no desire to escape. He is in the hands of powerful friends.
