JNO. W. RA.DLT3Y, Editor,
Th» Express has a larper circu
lation than any other newspaper
published In the 38th Senatorial
District.
We will attempt in our next to
Rive our rentiers the benefit ol' such
facts as we can glean as to the histo
ry, progress, anti extent of commun
ism a thing worthy of serious atten
tion.
The Atlanta Constitution says ex-
Gov. Joseph E. Drown will proba
bly he called to testify before the
Potter Committee in regard In the
election frauds in Florida. He hns
a pretty good idea of theshapetaken
by the frauds in that State.
‘•Is suicide epidemic” is the ques

fore committing the unhallowed deed.
From the Savannah Morning Newt*.
HOMKTlIINti TO ME REMEDIED.
At last, after repeated efTorts to ad
journ, the second session of the For
ty-fifth Conpreas concluded its labors
at 7 a. in. yesterday. Various were
the resolutions adopted fixing the
day and hour for final adjournment.
First, Monday, the 17th, was settled
on; then Tuesday, the 18th; then 1,
8 und 10 p. rq, of Wednesday, the
10th; then 1 a. m. of Thursday, the
the 19th; then 1 a. m. of Thursday,
the 20th, and after all the end was
not reached until, as we hare stated,
yesterday morning at 7 o’clock. Du
ring all this time the sundry civil
appropriation hill was the main ob
stacle in the way, amendments being
constantly made to it in one house,
only to be disagreed to by the other.
Then followed conference commit
tees, which would in their turn disa
gree, thus necessitating the appoint
ment of new ones so that u compro
mise might he patched up, and the
hill passed, naturally amid more or
less hurry.
There must be something wrong
in a system of legislation which puts
utTtothe lastmoTnentumaaxur.su
fraught with interest to tho tax puy-
ers of the country us the civil sun
dry appropriation bill. It is certain
ly wrong that, in the throes of the
dissolution of Congress, when mem
bers uro tired out, many of them
have left for their homes and all are
anxious for their work to be over
and done with, and when everything
is in hurry and confusion, thousands
of dollars of the people’s money
should be voted away. It is not on
ly wrong in itself, but it opens the
door for log rolling and trickery in
that ninny, desiring some appropria
tion for some pet sahemes to be in
serted, can take advantage of absen
teeism and thoughtless legislation to
slip in and liuve passed, without the
knowledge of tho members, some
trivul measure involving much out
lay and expense to the public. This
has been done in the past. Silver
was demonetized in just some secret
manner, and there is always danger
—so lung as the present habit of
patting olf important legislation to
the Inst moment prevails—that it
may be done ugain.
We suspect the grent trouble is
that, of late years, Congress has de
voted too much time to legislation
for special interests, hearing the
claims of this, that and the other
individual or private corporation, in
stead of turning its attention more
particularly lo objects of general
welfare and utility.
The session of Congress just clos
ed was not exceptionable in
this respect. It merely followed the
examples of numerous predecessors,
which have made of the custom al-
innrt a law; but it is strange that,
huring experienced the evil effect of
the practice in the past, no efforts are
made to remedy it. Congress always
lias ample time to settle, at least, all
important questions with calmness
and due consideration. The main
business of the session can always
readily be blocked out,acted on, and
finished up without confusion or
careless husie. This is a matter of
importance to the whole country,
and there is clearly need of reform
in this direction.
James Slorer, of Pulaski Co., Ind.,
writes; ‘‘I had tho Dgepepsia and
Liner Complaint for nine years, could
keep norhing on my stomach; I was
induced to use Db. IIabter’b Liter
Pills; after I had one box of Pills I
experienced a decided improvement,
and when I had finished the second
one I was entirely oured.
The Silver Dollars.
During last we, k thirty thousand
standard silver dollars, in exchange
(or greenbacks, were dispi ssd of i t
the various da positaii s directly to
the people. None of this money was
paid cut where customs duties are
collected, as it w uld have come di-
rectly back to the government in pay
ment thereof. The o d r of Secreta
ry 8herm.li to ] ay silver out for
greenbacks was to the amount onl,
of the legal tenders retired during the
month. ThiB retirement has be-n
prohibited by a recent net of Con
gress. Silver will, however, continue
to l e paid out for gr, cnbacks where
the treasury ofliciuls are satisfied
that the object in securing the coin
s not maiely for the payment of cus
toms duties.
A vigorous puper on Communism
was read by the Rev. Ilcnrv ltose ut
the Milwaukee ministers’ meeting
lust week. “Dlank cartridges," h,
exclaimed, “nre fools’ ammunition!
Whenever Communism in America
lilts itself as It did in Pennsylvania
last summer, it must bo treuted as ii
was in France, with shot impelled
by full charges of powder. With
tlio-e who underlake the role o'
thrives and murderers there is no
method but that of force. Argu
ment is childish, perilous and cow
ardly; mercilossness is mercy.”
No doubt muskot bulls and buyo
nets are the nioBt effective moans of
suppressing Communistic mobs, but
the best preventive of Communism
is good government. The enemies
of popular government will have
half achieved ita over throw when
that government will have to tiiitin-
its supremacy by force.
WASHINGTON LETTER.
Washington, June 21, 1878.
At 7 o’clock this morning Con
gress adjourned after a session of
eight months, after doing good and
bad deedB and omitting to do good
anil bad ones to ubout the same ex
tent as ut other sessions. The pre
vailing hard times and the many
unfulfilled promises of retrenchment
may create u belief that this one ses
sion hns sinned above all its prede
cessors, but this is uot 3o.
The great failing hns been thn 1 ,
though working in full light, Sena
tors and Representatives have not
seen that tho usages of a Hush war
timo were not Buited to a time of
profound finauoial depression. They
will be wiser when they moet in De
cember.
The appropriation bills were final
ly passed, except the smaller ones,
suoh as the West Point bill, covering
a very much larger amount than
wlieu reported from the House Com
mittee.
The orowds around the two IIouseB
lust night were something unprece
dented, and the oonfusion on the
lloor of the House of Representatives
surpassed anything I have ever seen.
It is to be noticed, however, that
except the increased amounts in the
regular appropriation bills, thcie
was no tendency to extiavagancc.
No subsidy schemes succeeded, and
the largest and most persevering
lobby of this generation was defeated
on every measure it had hop.d to
force through iu the late days of Hi
session.
Mr. Potters Oommitteo will sit
here for a short time for the exami
nation of several witnesses, und then
some of its members will prooeed to
Louisiana. Tho necessary attend
ance of membors of the Committee
on the proceedings of the House Intu
prevented muoh progress of late.
The city of Washington hns cause
for gratitude to this Congress, hav
ing received more attention than ev
er before, and a system of Govern-
ment having been adopted which
will give positive value :o property
which cannot now be said to be
worth anything. The tuxes were
absorbing real property, and busi
ness was dead. Congress now as
sumes one half of our expenses and
that will save us from complete ru
in.
The Ho use defeated a measure
which had passed the Senate, provi
ding for the puyment of such mail
contractors as had carried the mail
in the South before the war and had
not been paid by either the Federal
or Confederate Government.
The proposition to make green
backs receivable for four per cent
bonds, and for custom duties ufier
October 1, 1878, ppassed the Senate,
but failed in the House.
The jurisdiction of the Court of
Claims waB extended considerably,
though no claim arising more than
six years ago can be presented under
the eulurged powers of the Court.
The court is to consider claims
uguinst the Government and report
upon them to Congress if found
meritorious, and Congress is not to
act upon anv private claims not so
reported. The object is to keep
worthless claims out of Congress.
