FORTY-FIFTH CONGRESS.
Washington, Oot. 21.—Colorado was
regained after the journal.
The Colorado oase was finally disposed
of on a party vote, by the reference of all
papers to the Committee on Elections.
A petition from the colored people of
North Crrolina asking aid for emigration
to Liberia.was presented, read and re*
ferred.
Adjourned to Monday.
SENATE.
Mr. Chaffee, of Colorado, submitted a
resolution to amend rule 47 of the Senate,
so as to provide for the standing Com"
mittee on Banking and Currency to con
sist of seven Senators. Referred.
HOW DON CAMERON DID EVART8.
Washington, October 25.—It appears
Evarts said to Don Cameron that the
English mission should go to Pennsyl
vania, and asked him to name the man,
the soheme being that he should name
MaoYeigh. Don, however, having his
father in view, referred the matter to the
Pennsylvania delegation. They selected
Simon. The selection does not appear
to be agreeable to Mr. Hayes.
neither spoffobd nor eustis TO BE
SEATED.
The apprehension is becoming oppres
sive that the Senate will not seat either
Spofford or Eustis. Some Republicans,
not wishing to have Kellogg and Pinoh-
baok thrust down their throats, favor
allowing Louisiana to have her sober sec
ond thought. It is not beyond possibility
that the question will be postponed until
the people elect u new Legislature. It is
asserted, however, with- some positive-
cess, that the majority report of the corn-
mittee will follow what Morton had out
lined, which, if adopted seats Kellogg.
The temptation to make the worse appear
the better reason is great, as on it ascen*
nancy in the Senate for at least three
years depends.
THE DBEARY STORY TO BE REHEARSED.
The Committee on Privileges and
Eleotions have decided to go into the
merits of Spofford and Kellogg. This
involves, it is understood, a full rehears
ing of the dreary story.
KING TO BE NOMINATED.
Seoretary Sherman is quoted that the
President would ultimately send King’s
name to the Senate as Collector of Cus
toms at New Orleans.
REPUBLICANS AND UNDERSTANDING WITH
HAYES.
An adjourned Senate to Monday is
confirmatory of a determination of the
Republicans not to act on nominations
until an understanding is reached with
the Ezeoutive.
CLERKS ALLOWED TEN DAYS IN PENNSYL
VANIA AND NEW YORK.
Washington, October 25.—The Secre
tary of War grants his clerks ten dayH
leave to go to Pennsylvania and New
York for voting purposes, not to be de
ducted from their regular vacation.
ENGLISH MISSION WAITING ON PENNSYLVA
NIA ELECTION.
The Star says : It is now said, in view
of the embarrassment in which the Penn*
sylvania delegation have plaoed the Pres
ident with reference to the English mis
sion, that no name to succeed Pirrepont
will be sent to the Senate until after the
November elections. It must not do any
thing to offend Pennsylvania just now,
nor will it prove acceptable to give Came
ron the plaoe.
DEMOCRATS ON THE PRESIDENTIAL COMMIT
TEE.
Bayard, Thurman and Morgan are the
Democrats of the committee of seven to

THE STRIKE IN BALTON UNSETTLED—7,000
OUT OF EMPLOYMENT.
London, Oot. 25.—The statement that
the strike in the Balton ootton mills has
been terminated in incorrect. The men
decline to resume work unless the em
ployers guarantee to revise the standard
lists,and change the basis of readjustment
before February 1st next. The employers
will consider this condition at a meeting
to day. A strong effort was made on
behalf of the employers to induce the
spinners’ meeting on Tuesday night to the
acceptation of a redaction unconditional"
ly; bnt an amendment to that effect was
rejected by an overwhelming majority.
Staffordshire colliers are now voting
whether they will acoept the redaction

Special to Enquirer-Sun.]
Paris, October 25.—The Moniteur, re
ferring to tho recent statement in the

in the contingency of.tbe defeat of the
present Ministry, and of a conciliation
Ministry which ho might form to sucoeed
it, would again dissolve the Chamber of

contemplated a resort to a plebiscite.
The Univers, Legitimist, alluding to

THE WAR OR HAYES.
undismayed by the efforts to break
HIM DOWN.
Washington spooiul to the Cincinnati Commercial
The President is as imperturbable as a
disinterested spectator could be. He is
entirely satisfied that he is doing that
whioh is for the best interests of the whole
country, and foelB that if the Republican
party does not support him it will be un
fortunate for the party. He has no favors
to ask of tho party, but will continue to
administer bis office aB he sees fit,without
regard to the consequences to himself or
tho party.
The vigor of the fight that is opening
on Scburz may be estimated by the
amount of damage ho has done to the
rings that have been robbing the people
in the name of God and the Republican
party. The most bitter denunciations
come from the men whose thieving has
been abruptly ended.
Then Scburz is charged with almost
the entire responsibility of the President’s
civil service reform, and the fellows who
buve been heretofore elected to Congress
by Federal patronage, and who have no
hope of securing a re-eleotion without
that patronage, are determined to have his
scalp.
Altogether it is clearly apparent that
the main effort to break the President
down is now being mude, and that it will
not be prolonged for any length of time.
The question to be solved is whether the
President shall yield to the party, or the
party shall yield to the President. The
President is amply secure in making the
fight, and has the backbone, and will,
therefore, bring the party to his support.
This will be the end to it all, sooner or
later.
The Republican popular majority at the
French elections appears from the returns
to have been 538,828 votes, they polling
4,273,127 votes aud the MaoMahonitea
3,734,299 votes. At the eleotion in Feb"
ruary, 1876,the Republicans polled 4,316,*
127 votes, the Monarchists 1,507,824
votes, and the Bonapartists 1,370,715
voles, giving the Republicans a majority
over all of 1,431,588. This shows that at
tho late ©lection the Republicans lost
892,760 votes. So much for the power of
the machine in French politics, although
these figures may in the future be amend
ed iu favor of the Republicans. They
have a majority of about 130 iu the
Chamber, but it remains to be seen what
it will Kvail them under the present system
of Govern men».
▲ 2IEW THEORY OF RAILROAD
MAN AUGMENT*
Col. W. R. Arthur, General Managor of
the St. Louis, Iron Mountain and South
ern railroad, has given Rome new and
startling theorios relative to railroads and
systems of railroads in this country, whioh
are reported as follows in the St. Louis
Republican;
The failure of many railways may be
found largely in the fact of their not con
forming iu location and construction to
laws governing the direction of trade.
There are other causes for financial failure
—suob as mismanagement, extravagant
construction, and the building of lines not
required by the demands of commerce—
whioh are not only necessarily failures iu
themselves, but embarrasss legitimate en
terprises. The traffic of this continent
seeks great centers, and lines of commu
nication between these centers are neces
sary, and can be made useful and profita
ble. Any others will bo of local acoom-
modation and convenience merely, aud
seldom direotly remunerative. Excep
tions may exist where large local produc
tions are found.
The direction of traffio is from the
producing to the consuming points. In
so great an extent of territory many
centres will be or are established for con
venience of transacting business, and
whioh are determined by physical or
geographical advantages. The great
centres of concentration for consumption
and exportation for the agricultural pro*
ducts of the couutry are New York, Phila
delphia, Boston and Baltimore. These are
the great systems of railways of tho
country. There are other n^ior points
for exportation of tho special products of
the South. Theso major points are also
centers for the collection of merchandise
and manufactures for distribution.
The great coutres for collection and
distribution in transit would be St. Louis,
Ohioago, Pittsburg and Buffalo. There
are subordinate centres (I mean centres
of railway systems), such as Milwaukee,
Kansas City, Indiauapolis aud Louisville.
To these centres systems of transporta
tion belong. The west aud northwest of
the south end of Lake Michigan belong to
Ohioago; the west and southwest of St.
Louis to St. Louis; for tho South to Lou
isville aud Indianapolis beoome the cul
minating centre of the Southern system.
The Milwaukee system is subordinate
to Chicago; Kansas City to St. Louis.
Pittsburg and Buffalo are secondary and
common to all the others. Any line of
road from the center of one system into
or across another will bo worked at a dis
advantage. A conflict will follow which
will result disastrously to the invader.
Lines between centers ore necessary
and can be made profitable. Lines from
Chicago to the Southwest, or from St.
Louis to the Northwest, under the present
condition of the navigation at the mouth
of the Mississippi river, will labor under
great disadvantages. Lines southeast
from Chicago or northeaHt from St. Louis,
not connecting directly with one of the
centers named, will be alike unfortunate.
Lines southeast from St. Louis or Kansas
City will not meet with success. Lines
from Louisville or IndianapoiiH connect
ing with the Southwest system at any
point south of St. Louis will do so with
great'odds against them. There are other
inferior centers and systems to whioh the
same rales will apply.
The correctness of the foregoing asser
tions, if not appnrent, are of easy dem
onstration from the laws of trade or tho
practical workings of existing lines. It
would be invidious to inHtance examples,
but a moment’s reflection by tho well-
informed will enable them to point out
the lines not in aocord with the center
system. Capital should Avoid all lines
not in harmony with systems. Boldness
of enterprise, with boldness as its only
merit, will hardly conquer or achieve suc
cess.
PLUNDERING 111' POLICY.
SOMETHING ABOUT THE GAME OF POLICY —
PERCENTAGE OF CHANCES.
The New York Tribune, in a recent is
sue, gives the following expose of the
“polioy” business :
The mazes of policies are not known to
the general public. Few games are so
well devised for a sure loss to tho player,
even when played houestly, and the more
influential sellers make tbiH assurance
doubly certain by playing it to suit them
selves. Policy is dependent upon the
lottery business, which is carried on as
follows: The managers issue a plansable
and seduotive scheme, which Ik exten
sively advertised. They then place, as a
general ru e, seventy-five numbers in tho
wheel, and draw out twelve, iu accord
ance with the provisions of the scheme,
according to which, nlso, the tickets are
decided. Both tho lottery aud polioy
tickets which win are determined by the
numbers drawn from the wheel, the
difference between them being that the
former are sold at a stipulated price,
whioh appears in tho scheme, aud are
printed, while policy tickets are written
on small pieoeB of paper, and sold from
one cent to $100, to suit the pocket of the
purchaser.
The following table of agents’ rates
will give some insight into the working
of policy. The words “gig,” “saddles,”
‘horses,” aud “day number" are “pro
fessional” terms, their relative values
being given in the combination table.
This table is one of the trade secrets, and
has never before been published:

WHAT A WHOPPER!
The Washington correspondent of the
Inter-Ocean telegruphs to that paper as
follows:
It is said that the President had decided
to appoint Gen. Lougstreet Marshal of
Georgia, but {Stephens, Hill, Gordon and
other Georgians protested, beeuuso Long-
street was a reoreant C mfederate, aud
sustained the last Administration. After
the war was closed Lougstreet who owned
a plantation iu Georgia, went to New Or
leans as President of an Insurance Com
pany, and joined the Republican party.
In a speech before the Senate, some time
ago, Senator Morton told an interesting
bit of history in connection with that
faot. He said that after Lee’s surrender
Lee himself, with Lougstreet, Beau
regard, Jonnston and oilier Con
federate Generals agreed to re
cognize the viotory oi the North by
joining the Republican party, and Long-
street was selected to make the move"
ment first, as an experiment, to see how
the Southern people were affected. Long-
street, who was thon president of an insu
rance company, consequently asked for
the removal of his disabilities and sought
an office under President Grant, but the
Democrats, as soon as he accepted an
office ia the custom house at Now Orleans,
ostracised him completely, withdrew their
support from his insurance company,
which failed soon after, aud Beauregard
and the others declined to follow bis ex
ample. Losing his office in the custom
house, and being completely deserted by
his old friends iu New Orleans, Lougstreet
went back to his plantation in Georgia
where he has been living for the last
three years. The ex-Confederatea dislike
him because ho was the first of their
prominent men to join tho Republican
party.

By comparing the seventh line of the
first table with the second lino of the
combination—the most common form in
use—it will be seen that whore seventy-
five numbers are put iu the wheel and
twelve withdrawn, if tho player guesses
their numbers correctly aud buys the
“gig” for $1, he gets $221; or if ho buys
threo “saddles” he is entitled to $32,
while if he chooses a “day” number, he
will reoeive $5. By increasing tho risk
the ratio iu winning numbers is corres
pondingly increased.
Lottery managers have always opposed
the policy business, and have tried all
sorts of experiments to suppress it. But
policy lives and thrives, while lotteries
are scarcely paying interest upon in
vestments. The constantly increasing
frauds attending the manipulation of
lotteries are gradually opening tho eyes
of the publio to their dishonest obarao-
ter. Meanwhile, quarrels aud lawsuits
are ponding in Kentucky, which nre
likely to put an end to all franchises
and stop the legalizing of lotteries for
ever.
Tlio Colorado Contest.
Washington special to Cincinnati Enquirer.]
Mr. Patterson, of Colorado, who is now
here contesting tho seat claimed by Bel-
ford, will present a remarkably Htroug
ease to the House. Ho has in his posses*
sion a certified copy of the correspond
enoe that passed between the Department
of Justice aud the Marshal of Colorado,
who wrote to the Department in Septem
ber, 1876, asking for a mouth’s leave of
absenoe. Tho Department replied that
he could not bo relieved until aftor the
elections. When the October elections
were over he again wrote, and was an
swered that on election for Congressmen
would be held according to law on No
vember 7, aud it was of great importance
for him to bo on tho ground. He learned,
in a few days aftor receiving this reply,
that the State Republican Committee had
concluded not to run Bolford in Novem
ber, thinking bis election in October to
the Forty-fourth Congress would answer
all tho purposes of an election to tho
Forty-fifth, and requested that in view of
this fact his leave might be granted.
The Department again replied, stating
that under the law tho Congressmen of
the Forty-fifth must be elected iu Novem
ber, and ho would be expeeted to bo on
hand until that was over. Mr. Patterson
also has a deposition from tho Republican
Governor of Colorado, stating that he
does not believe Bolford was elected ac~
cording to law, and the Secretary of State
issued a circular foT the election of a Con
gressmen in November. Belford was not
voted for, and Patterson was. It is be
lieved be will gain his seat.
BAHNU.Tl'N BARGAIN.
HE BUIS A HALF INTEREKT IN THE PETRIFIED
MAN.
A St. Joseph, Mo., special to tho St.
Louis Globe-Democrat says:
“G. A. Wells, P. T. Barnum’s agent,
to-day bought a half interest in the Pue
blo (Col.) petrified giant for $15,0(H).
Prof. J. K. Taylor, analytical chemist, of
Bridgeport, Conn., with Prof. E. R.
Paige, scientist, of Council Bluffs, made
a scientific analysis of portions of tho
body, boring into the head and chest,
finding perfect cube crystals in the center
of both, which, under chemical analysis,
showed oxidization of iron, pronounced
by these gentlemen perfect proof of gen*
uine petrifaction. Prof. Paige says the
wonder is a more perfect embodiment of
Darwin s theory of evolution than Darwin
ever gave.”

Washington, D. O., Oot. 22.
The aocount of the conference of Re
publicans at Secretary Sherman’s house
on Saturday night can be supplemented
by the following detailed statements of
the speeches of the different, gentlemen.
Seoretary Sherman had very little to
say, aud nothing in reference to the
Southern policy, lie urged upon those
present that it iH important that tho Re
publican members should call upon the
President aud talk freely with him. He
thought it would be n serious mistake
for them if (hey should absent them
selves habitually on acoouut of their dis*
satisfaction. In answer to the expressions
of dissatisfaction with Civil-Service order
and its operation,
SECRETARY SHERMAN INSISTED
that tho order had boon misinterpreted
and misunderstood. Iu this he was
warmly seconded by Garfield aud
Foster, each taking tho position that
tho President’s intention was not to pre
vent office-holders from taking a properly
active part in tho campaign after tho Con
vention hnd put a tickot in tho field.
Gen. Cox, of Ohio, defended the Presi
dent, indiouted his cordial support of his
entire policy, and argued that the Presi
dent had simply carried to thoir practical
effect the principles enunciated iu the
Republican platform und iu his letter of
acceptance. At this point he was inter
rupted by Frye, of Maine, who asked
Gen. Cox to point to that plank in tho
platform, or that olnuse of tho letter of
.oooptauce whioh foreshadowed tho ap
pointment of an ex-Confederato and life
long Democrat to a Cabinet position.
Mr. Crepo, of Massachusetts, indicated
his support to the President, both in his
{Southern polioy and in his civil-service
order. Frye, of Maine, i-poko in very
strong terms in condemnation of the
Southern policy, and as to the President’s
Civil Sorvioe Reform declares there was
nothing iu it. Hale confined his remarks
obit-fly to tho real subject before the
meeting, nnmely, the treatment of the
anticipated Democratio resolution.
NEITHER GARFIELD NOR FOSTER
had much to say in reference to the
Southern policy, but occupied thoniHelves
chiefly with the discussion of avoiding
split in the party upon any vote which the
Democrats might force.
Martin I. Towuseud, of New York, said
he had felt very kindly towards the Presi
dent, und had desired to support him cor
dially, but that bo had become impressed
by the reports which he had read from the
time that the President regarded tnem*
hers of Congress unfavorably, and that
us he was considered a tolerably honest
and respectable man at home, ho did not
care to introduce himself nt I ho White
House, whore he could not be certain of
the standing which ho occupied.
GEN. BUTLER
spoke with great earnestness in regard to
tho importance to tho country of uphold*
ir.g and continuing tho Republican party.
Speaking of it as tho hope of (ho country,
ho took the position that tho great object
of Republicans should bo to insure its
success. His remarks in rogard to civil
servioe reform wore directed to Gen. Cox’s
speech upon that subject, and wore
FILLED WITH SNEERS
at this portion of tho policy.
In rogard to that part of Cox’s speech,
in which ho declared that tho President
was in full sympathy with the party, and
only desired its good, Danford, of Ohio,
asked what evidence there wns that the
President sincerely desired the good of
the party in his selection of a Cabinet, in
which there were at least throe members
who did not core a straw what beenme of
the Republican party, alluding to Evarts,
Sehurz and Key.
Cox, iu his reply to this, declared it to
bo unfair to assume that theso gentlemen
wore not in accord with the parly and that
thoy did not desire its success.
THORNBURG, OF TENNESSEE,
said that (he Republicans of that section
were utterly disheartened, that there was
no lougor a Republican organization iu tho
State, that thoy had no representative in
the Cabinet, and that they were obliged,
when socking anything in connection
with the Postoffioe Department,to go over
the head of that Department to the Prosi*
dent himself, and that Sontborn Republi
cans would not confer direotly with tho
PostmnBter General.
At this point, Blair, of Now Hampshire,
inquired of Thornburg whether, when
thoy had visited tho President, they had
received any satisfaction from him, and
whether they hnd ever been able to obtain
what thoy wanted.
Thornburg said thoy never had been.
GANNON, OF ILLINOIS,
reported that there was a very general
feeling among tho Republicans of his
State that tho President had not properly
carod for those to whom he owed his elec
tion, and thero was very groat dissatisfac
tion as to his troatmont of Southern Re
publicans.
Dnnnoll, of Minnesota, stated that the
Republicans of his State wore not cordial
towards tho President.
Conger, of Michigan, expressed tho
opinion that, in his State, the Republican
feeling was that tho policy of tho Presi
dent toward tho South must bo accepted
a matter of faot, and as something
ich it was now impossible to remedy,
and that, in regard to tho civil service
order, at least nine-tenths of the Michi
gan Republicans disapprove of it totally.
THE ILLINOIS DELEGATION
met at Senator Oglesby’s rooms to oonfer
on tho political situation and upon the
probable action of the House. Cannon
and Burchard, who wore present at the
mooting nt Sherman’s house, stated to the
Illinois delegation tho substance of what
occurred there. There was a very marked
lack of unity in the delegation. The
woro great differences of opinion as to
what the proper action should bo in re
spect to any resolutions the Democrats
may present. If the delegation had been
required to vote as to the Southern policy,
they would undoubtedly have supported
it, with the possible exception of two
persons, but, us to indorsing the policy
including the civil service order, they
were
to take any ste s toward expressing his
approval of the Administration. There
was a suggestion that the Republican
party could best be served by allowing
the members of it entire freedom of ao-
tion, and the delegation adjourned with*!
out really having come to any definite
decision. Aldrioh will stand first of the
delegation on the roll-call, and some in
dication will be had of their intention to
follow him. If Aldrich votes at all, he
undoubtedly will vote to indorse the
President. The Illinois delegation left
the subjeot open to ascertain the results
of the meetings of other State delega-
tions. The desire of the delegation was
that the extra session shonld be restricted
to the business for which it was called,
and that no time should be spent in guess
ing the political conundrums which might
be pressed by the Demoorata.
THE IOWA DELEGATION
unanimously agreed not to vote upon any
political resolution introduced by the
Democrats. It is not certain that the
Democrats intend to introduce any.
THE MASSACHUSETTS DELEGATION.
Among other State Republican delega-
tions the Republican Representatives
from Massachusetts met on Saturday
night in the parlor of Orapo, Wormley’s
Hotel. Gen. Butler narrated what had
transpired at the meeting at Seoretary
Shormun’s and said that should the Dem
ocrats introduce a resolution approving
the President’s policy, the Republicans
could take one of three courses, viz: Re
frain from voting, vote aye, or vote no.
For himself, he should vote no. Gen.
Banks said that he shonid vote no, and
that it would be nonsense to follow Dem
ocratic lead. Dr. Loring said that he
should give an affirmative vote on any
resolution endorsing the President, let it
come from auy quarter it might. Grapo,
Field and Robinson agreed with Loring,
and Rice partially. After a thorough in
terchange of views,
A RESOLUTION WAS ADOPTED
declaring that the Republican Represen
tatives should vote against any suspension
of the rules asked by the Democrats for
the introduction of a political question
into what should be a business session.
No other conclusion was reaohed, but
Banka, Butler and Orapo, the old mem
bers, wore appointed a oommittee to oon
fer with Representatives from other
States, and it was determined that it
would be well for the Massachusetts del
egation to meet frequently for consulta
tion.
AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, Ootober 1st, 1877.
I have devoted twenty years of patient
study to the Liver and its relations to the
human body, in search of a remedy whioh
wonld restore it, when diseased, to ita
normal condition. The result of that la-
bor has been the production of
TUTT’K LIVER PILLH.
Their popularity has beoome so extended
and the demand so great as to induce un
scrupulous parties to counterfeit them,
thereby robbing me of the reward, and
the afflicted of thoir virtues.
TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC,
and protect them from vile impositions, I
have adopted a new label, which bears
my trade-mark and notioe of its entry in
the Office of the Librarian of Congress,
also my signature, thus :
■WTo Counterfeit this is forgery.
Before purchasing, examine the label
closely.
THE GENUINE TUTT’B PILLS
exert a peculiar influence on the system.
Their action is prompt, and their good
efloots are felt in a few hours. A quar
ter of a century of study of the Liver has
demonstrated that it exerts a greater in
fluence over the system than any other or
gan of tho body, and when diseased the
entire organism is deranged. It is speci
ally for the healing of this vital organ
that I have spent so many years of toil, .
and having found the remedy, which has
proved tho greatest boon ever furnished
the afflicted, shall they be deprived of its
benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up
on them ?
Let the honest people of America see
TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED:
Scrutinize the label closely, see that it
hears all the marks above mentioned, and
buy tho medicine only from respectable
dealers. It can bo found everywhere.
Very respectfully,
W. H. TUTT.
