Washington, February 14,1879. THE LAST CHAPLET . . Was laid yestekday in' the House of Representatives' upon tW tomb bt the 'ate Julian Hartridge. At tfireo o’clock the enlogies were prononneed, Gen. Cook offering the oustomary resolutions and making the first speech. He was followed by Messrs. Hendee of Vermont, Knott of Kentucky, Cox of New York, Frye of Maine, Harrison of Illinois, Davidson of Florida, Goode of Virginia, Cutler of New Jersey, and Bell and Felton of Georgia. The resolutions were adopted, and the Hotose, at 5:30, adjourned. - The remarks of Messrs. Cook, Knott, Cox’ and Frye were especially complimented, those of the last named gefftleman seeming to be particularly admired. He is one of the most intense Radicals in* the Honse, bnt npon this oocasion he seemed really to forget everything else bnt the earnest, tender regard and friendship he felt for the dead man while in life: They were both members of the Jndiciary Commit tee, and about the ablest.on it. BIG TALE PS05T THE (tBBENBAOSXBS. Yon ought to hear them brag, especial ly one Buchanan, generally known as Plan Bnobanan, wbo bails from Indiana, and wbo is now here talking to pret>y mnoh everybody wbo will listen to him. His latest bloviation is to tbe effect that there will b'S twenty-eix Greenbackers in the next H6nse, and that they intend to Dame all its officer;; that twenty-one of them have already pledged themselves to go into the Greenback eauena. He says he doesn’t know exactly what Felton and Speer will do, though Felton was elected on the Toledo platform, and some of the counties in his district have been carried in local elections by the Nationals Anns his election. Ho also claims Lowe, of Alabama, as dead sure G. B., and as in forming him (Buchanan) that tba Greenbackers will carry Alabama at tbe next election. He also claimed Ladd and Murcb, of Maine, and, in fact, pretty muoh every body else wbo is not a prononneed Dem ocrat and elected as each. A great deal ot thia chatter is evidently for effect. Buchanan is perhaps “np for Cowe3 and a market,” and wants to make folks be lieve that he can deliver any quantity of goods. I hardly think, however, he will fool anybody in either party. The fight in the next House, &b in the next Presi dential canvass, will be between the Democrats and Ridicils. The sc-called “Nationals” will hardly rise to the dig nity of a sideshow. A PLETHpKA OP PATRIOTS. I have bad occasion, recently, in an official way, to find out something about the number and quality of the patriotic property holders of this city. It cams about in this wise : The P. M. G. has informed Congress that he tnustbave'tha space in the Post-office Department build ing how used by the city post-offics for department purposes, and that there fore the post-cffico must move. This being noised abroad immediately there arises, as if out of the ground, a host of patriots who hunger and thirst to sell the government sites either wither, without houses on them. They come as “the waves come when navies ore stranded” or otherwise.and the Hms^CbmpUtee on Public Building, acd Grounds'soon find their liveB a burden. Every day there is a fresh deputation and more speeches and such a dc-lago of papers that the clerk of the committee finds his life an active torment and seriously meditates a series of homicides. Every day adds to the list and when the full committee ait to hear these patriots air their elo quence and blow for their respect ive properties, the members of. the committee are taken ont at the close limp and epeeohless. How it will end no man can say, bnt it not soon there will be more dead Con gressmen. Mr. Bliss, cf Brooklyn, as chairman of the enb-committee, bas had to bear tbo brant of the battle, acd bas already lost fifteen ponnds, and is rapidly taming gray. He bas to hida like a fu gitive from jnatioe, and cannot show him self outside bis hotel or the Honse with out imminent danger of being talked to death. He says, most pathotically, that he is “flick” of tbe whole business, whioh shows what a conservative man ho is in his language. How the matter wi'l end no man can say, bnt whatever the resnlt there is bound to be a vigorous bowl of job” or some other cry from the army or disappointed. Another thing is sure, and that is the government, if it bays s site, will have to pay a great deal higher for it than an individual. ONLT TWENTT-8XVXN MILLIONS SHOHT. This is a bid outlook for the next fis cal year, bnt it ia according to John Sher man's book?, and therefore must be a fact. It will ccst, he says, nearly $285,- 000,009 to ran tho machine for the year commencing July 1st, and of course the money mast be forthcoming either from additional taxation or the issue of more four per cent, bonds. What the Ways and Means committee will do to make this buckle and tongue meet I can’t im agine, but will bet on bends, which is al ways the easiest way ont of a financial bog—that is from tho standpoint af mod ern financiering. KGUBING ON THE NEXT CENSUS begins to be lively among the politicians oEBoth parties. The general summing on what data as are available now shows thore will be again of eomo sixty-flve members in the Forty-Eighth Congress in twenty-aix'States. Upon tbe basis of 45,000,000 population in 1880, it will probably take a constituency ot 153,000 for one Representative instead of about 135,000 aa now. The New England States, it is ^calculated, will all . lose ex cept Massachusetts— whioh last fact is a great pity. New York, Pennsylvania and New Jersey will increase from 67 to 77, New York taking five of these. The 8onth wiU likely gain 19 members, Geor gia getting 1 and Text* and Mississippi 1 or 5. The West will get ths lion's share of this increase. She now has 02 members and will, under, the new ap- portioument eonnt 122. All her States except Nebraska and-Colorado, will grin, six of them, 4 each. This demonstrates very conclusively what section is bene fit ting moat by immigration. If ths South could torn the stream her way for tbe next ten years 'the census of 1890 would tell another story. But it is the business and profitof many of cnr gcodand Chris- tian friends across the border to keep that stream away from u* and so we lan guish and they thrive. A. W. E. True, events have compelled a cutting down of the coveted prize. Three mil lions were sought for when the <800010, last session, tacked the. job to tho postal- route bill, The two millions now talked of are proposed, as a compromise under the pressure' of adversity. But neither of the amounts is large enough to explain the untiring energy and zeal of which ihe Brazilian subsidy is apparently the object. Mr. Reach’s lobby may be con tent to work subject to the contingency of success. What he will be reqnired to pay may depend npon what be gets. And this arrangement probably extends beyond the professional lobbyists whom he haB retained. Still, if the'entire two millions were apportioned among the subsidises it would barely compensate them for the labor they have undergone. The secret of their ardor is the fact that all other subsidy schemes are held in. abeyance until this Brazil scheme' bo disposed of- If it fail none of them will have a chance. If- it succeed there will be hope for all of them. Various reasons make it the batt scheme for determining whether the anti- Bubsidy feeling can be oyerqome, and the hungry army of snbsidists are moving heaven and earth to effect its passage. 6EO8GI.VS FOUR PER CENTS. -lbe Floating ot tbe conn tbe Cause ot Reneral Congratnln tlons Description ot tbe Bonds. Atlanta Bpeclal to the Louisville Courier- Jourca Treasurer Renfroe annonnoed this morning to yonr correspondent that he bad received orders for all of the new Georgia four per cents that be cared abont selling at present. It is bis pur pose to use these fonr per oents solely for the pnrpose of replacing the old sevens and eights as they fall das, and of eonree he will sell them only as the others fall doe. The floating of this loan is a cause of great congratulation in Georgia. It is tire first experiment with fonr per cents made by any Sonthern State, and tbe readiness with whioh they are taken speaks eloqnently of restored oonfidenoe. Georgia 7s, dna in 1892, sold yester day at 114 j. A notable point is that the greatest part of Georgia’s late bane of bonds is held by her own people. The new four per cents are, in shape and general appearance, the connterpait of greenback?. The $5 bonds are now almost facsimiles ot $5 bill?. I* is be lieved they will circulate as onrrency quite freely. Before tbe isane waa made the most searching inquiry was mado into ihe constitutionality of the matter. A deci sion was obtained from the Revenue De partment to the effect that they were not subject to tax nnder the revenae law, and the opinion of the ablest lawyers were oh- tained. ^ The Georgia bonds differ from the cur rency protested in the celebrated Mis souri case, in that each bond has its cott on regularly attached. ‘ ‘The qnlycrime 1 their issue,’’ said a leading lawyer, "if liny crime there is, is in the nsq of- small type, small denominations and. email pieces of paper.” By the substitution.of tbe present issue'of four per cents Geor gia saves half the interest on a half mil lion of. eight per cents.. ..The law pre The New YoBKjTutss on the Brazil ian Sen;idt. —The New York Times of Thursday, in a very intelligent article on the Brazilian subsidy amendment to the post-office appropriation bill, contends tbit this small subsidy is not valuable enough in itself to explain tba ardor, per- sistenoe and self-saoufioe with whioh the lobby follows tbe measure up. As the Tims*says: ■> • No one lfgagines that the persistent straggle would have been maintained if only Mr. Roaoh’s interests were involved. Tho Chinese Immigration Blit. This bill, which tas passed both Hcuses of Congress and is now in the hands of the Exeoutive for approval, provides in its first seotion, that co master of a ves sel, owned in whole or in part by a oitizen of the United States, or by a citz n of any foreign ccnntry, shall take on board of snob vessel, at any port or place within tho Chinese Empire, or at any other for eign port or plaoe, any nnmber exceeding 15 Chinese passengers, whether male or female, with the intent to bring such pas sengers to the United States, and leave euah port or place and bring each passen gers, to any nnmber exceeding 15 on one voyage, within the 'jurisdiction of the United States. - The remaining six sections of the bill ruiike prosisions securing compliance with the foregoing prescription and pun ishing disobedience. It 13 very probably, advitable that Chinese immigration should be restricted if not entirely pro hibited; but it ought to be done in a legal and constitntionil manner. The pro visions cf thia bill are in oonfiict with the Burlingame treaty which, according to tho constitution, is, like other treaties of the United States with foreign nations, the supremo law. That treaty should have been first abrogated. It is mnch to be deprecated that Congress snonld have passed any act in violation of public faith end in conflict with the constitution. It is a precedent fraught with mischief. Bnt beeidea this weighty objection, the Baltimore Sun very tratbfnlly suggests that the provisions of the bill are snob as to render It imprsotioable. Tbe misde meanor provided fox in the bill oan only be oommitted at the place of embarka tion, and, oonseqnently, no prosecution oan possibly lie against any bnt an Ameri can vessel. Nothing in the bill can pre? vent the oaptain of a British, German, French or Chinese vessel from taking on board as many passengers as tbo lews of his own oonntry permit him to carry. Be sides, the Chinese immigrants do not oome directly from Chine. They are nearly ail taken oh board at Hong Kong, a British port. The British Government has passenger regulation* of its own, and particular rales applying to this very coolie trade. If e British captain, after complying with these regulations at Hong Kong, should bs brought up at San Fran- oisco under this new bill, provided it be- oomes a law, would there not be an im mediate collision between the British Government and our own ? Furthermore, the law can easily be evaded by disem barking the Chinese immigrants at Victo ria, in British Columbia, and letting them reach California and Nevada oveiUud. still present the six eambers of 1878, containing the six parts of MacDonald's “Sir Gibbie.” For fifty-two inch numbers of sixty- four Idrgo pages oach (or more than 3,- 00G pages a year), the subscription price ($8) is very low, while fok $10.50 the publishers offer to rend any one of the Amerioan $4 monthlies or weeklies with the Living Age for « year, both postpaid.
