Washington, April 14.—In th3 House, immediately after the reading of the Jonrnal, tbe Speaker proceeded to a call of the States, for bills for reference, be ginning with the State of Maine. The first response was mads by Mr. Ladd, of Maine, who introdaoed a bill to pnt the coinage of gold and silver on th9 ssme footing. A point of order was therenpon raised by Congei, ot Miobigan, that the intro- dustionjof bills.required ore day’s no- tioe, and that no such notice bad been given. • \ Toe Speaker, af.er quoting the sev eral miss bearing on the snbject, over- xnled the point of order. An sppotl from bis decision was taken by Oosger, and tbe motion to lay the appeal on tbe table was made by Cox, or New Tork. The question was dobated by Steph ens, of Georgia, who expressed the opin ion that the deoision was clearly right Udthat, atallevouti, the objeot of that billoonld always be attained by present ing a petition on the same subject—a coorso which he himself had panned this morning in regard to objeots of legisla tion which he desired to promote. Conger is now debating the question, and tbns indirectly attaining bis object, which is tbe consumption of the morning honr. The Senate, after the usual morning bonnes?, resumed consideration of the army appropriation bill, and Mr. Blaine proceeded to address the Senate. IntboHonse, after a brief argument by Beed of Maine in support of the point of order, and by Cox of New Tork against it, Conger called for tellers on the motion to lay on tbe table. Therenpon, Mr. Springer, of Illinois, remarking that be wished to expedite a decision of the qneation, called for the yeas end cays, wbion were ordered, and on which Conger’s ludicrous comment was that he waa glad to see that the delay was being occasioned by tbe action of tbs Democratic side of the House. The ap peal waa laid on the. table—yeas 139, nayB 75—bat the morning boar was need up in the objection, diecnesion and taking the vote. • Washington, April 14.—In the case of the New Orleans Canal and Banking Company against the city of New Or leans, the United States Supreme Court to-day affirmed tho judgment Of tho Su premo Court of Louisiana, whioh, it is held, does not invade any right cf the city given to it by the constitution or laws of the United State?. A decieion wee also rendered in the case, David N. Barron, administrator, vs Logan Hunton, appealed from- the United States Circuit Coart for the dis trict of Louisians. The conn holds that the Circuit Court had no jurisdiction and orders its judgment reversed and the cause remanded to the State court from wh cb it was UXen. Scsanton, Pa-, April 14.—The direc tors til the Sorau'.on Trust Company and Savings Bank have made a voluntary as signment to H, 8. Pierce, president, for the benefit ot oreditors. Cincinnati, April 14.—A special says the planing mill of W. H. Eiffenbnrg, at a part, and then re-easoted it, hoping to get credit for originating it-^but this law was pissed in time of war and signed by Lincoln.when he had a million men un der his control and could have controlled the elections without any suoh aid. The purpose of the law was to ensure fairness in elections, and the Democrats now bore witness to Its fitnesi for that pnrpoie by trying to re enaot it. He derided the idea of danger from military interference, and said there were, only 2,977. soldiers east of Omaha, and only 1,145 in the Sontbern State?, abont 9 to every million people. The Democratic ' cry of military despotism would injure the standing of tbe country abroad.' A European wonld laugh at it. He knew that there was only one soldier to every 700 eqaare miles of territory in the South. This was not the real issue. The ulterior purpose of the oiher side was to prevent the general gov ernment from being represented by its oivil officers at tbe elections in which it was most especially intended and over which the constitution gave it full control. He would not profess to know what the President would do when these bills came to him, but it seemed to him that the dead heroes of the nnion would rise from their graves If.he should consent to be intimidated and outraged in his proper constitutional power by threats like these. The appropriate re sponse from his lips would b9, "Is thy servant a dog that he shonld do this thing ?” Mr. Withers, of Virginia, said Mr. B latne’s remarks wonld not produce much effect on either the Senate or the coun try, It was not a question to be decided whether there were sordisrs enough to dominate and control elections, but whether under the operation of the exist isg laws, it was not possible for the exec ntive to distribute and nse the soldiery so as to destroy tbe freedom of elections It was net to oonfront pree.-nt danger, bnt to -remove from the present or any future Pretidnc, tbe temptation, the ex isting law wonld offer to destroy tbe lib erties of the country and erect on the ruins of the Bepublio a despotism sup ported by arms. He argued that the presenoe of troops at the polls was incompatible with free government, and this was the principle or mmm on which the pending bill was based The Democrats did not propose to shape their course as to what may or may cot be the position of the President. He should not atteu.pt to take a*uy a parti cle ot the spinal marrow attempted to be given to the President by the Senator from Maine. -He would not interfere with any agency to infnse strength to his spinal cord. The debate was closed by Mr. Wallace, of Pennsylvania, who declared that the single lfsue in (hie bill was, shall the El ective longer possess tbe power to place troops at the polls. Their presence, is a menace upon the right of free el ctions. This right is fixed and certain. It oomes to ns from Eog!and,and is a part of our system of laws. Its protection rests with tbe States, and tbe Federal Government has nothing to do with it. After an argument of considerable length, the Senator dosed by saying that this legislation places a oheck on the mil itary power In the interest of the people. We mu3t restore the original principles from which four years of war have di vested the government, and bring tbe military to a strict subordination to civil power; permit a free system of laws to be based upon a free ballot, and expunge a standing nienaoe upon freo institutions, Mark D. Brainard, of Monlgomery. Alabama, James S. Fowler, of Nashville, Tennessee, were to-day admitted to prac tice in the United States Supreme Oonrt, and decisions were rendered in the fol lowing southern cases: The Board ot Supervisors of Calhoun county, vs. W. B. Galbraith from the United States District Court of Mississip pi. The court holds that since the irreg ularities on which the county basis its re fusal to pay its bonds were committed by its own servants, it would be estopped from taking advantange of them, evea if a recital iu the bonds themselves of their conformity to statute were not alone con clusive.

EDITORIAL CORRESPONDENCE. Washington, April 12,1879. THB Ado NX 07BB. With the announcement of the House com mittees yesterday came surcease of much and varied anxiety to the Solona of that body. Many of ibbmhad cad intimations of wh-re they wonld prouably fall,- bnt ia the main Speaker Bun bad kept hia counsel well, don’t suppose there WM ever better order observable in the House than when the list WM.being read out—exoept on similar occa sions heretofore—and the deoorum and co- lemnUy manifested wti really oppressive. As a general Ate, there wm loss outward manifestations of disappointment and dia- tust than marked the reading ’of a similar iat in the 4Fth Congress, and the chorused opinion wm to the effect that Ur. Bandall had gotted through a very disagreeable and delicate Job ,with remarkable success. Of ounree there are some square pegs in round holes and vioe versa, bnt that wm almost inevitable. An illustration ot this recalls itself right h-re, and for fear it will esoape me, I record it now On the oommeroe com mittee, Tamer, of Kentucky, who live* in tbe diatriot of that 8te e most remote from the ooea and guiltless of any stream sufficiently large to float aflat boat of any aize, is given a place, while Georgia with a seaport rank ing third or fourth in the Booth, is withont a representative. It seems to me that t*a- ▼annah shonld have had recognition on that committee in tbe person of her representa tive, Mr. Nichols. There may be other in- staeosa of this sort but I have not the time now to recall them age, weights and measures; Speer, elections and militia. Ton will remember that I pre dicted most of these appointments and will therefore and retend and l trust appreciate the serene aatufao’ion with which lean now say: “1 told yon bo.” Whst the liemo.rats of the Seventh and Ninth Georgia districts will think of the pro motion of Felton—for it is that theoretical ly, at least—*nd the very honorably placing of Speer, I do not of coarse know Bat it -trikss me that they will begin to wonder why such a folly “ organized’ Democrat as Mr. Bandall gave them th.s smick in the lace. They must remember, however, that the so oilled “ independent” role of these gentlemen is only played before home audi ences and that here in Washington they ap pear on the board! only in the character of “organized,” “caucus ridden” Democrats. As such, I suppese, Mr. Bandall only knows them, a nd consequently is bound to recog nize and deal .with them accordingly. But isn’t it rather carious that men who spit up on and deBpise acd villify organization and caucus and conventions at home, should be so desperately anxious and exceedingly ready to serve npon and devour the fruit grown upon the the hateful tree at Washington XHB BBS or 1889. It eeema eleuer every day that tbe oppos ing tiokets for the general ballot iu 1880 will beheaded respectively bySimrjel.J Tilden and Ulysses 8. Grant. I oonut this even now among the certainties of the future and I am equally confident that event) to hap- iwiU steadily strengthen the conclusion to Grant, there seems to my mind no room at all for any intelligent dissent from ths conclusion. As to Tilden, tbe OMe does not present itself quite so overwhelmingly, bnt all the sweep of all the currents is pow erfully in the same direction. In h few months if it gains in volume ss it has done Utterly, tie force and volnme will be irresis tible. This is what theaters seems to me tossy, and in very plain words too. In con nection therewith, I read yesterday in the New Xork Ernes thirty-two columns of re- poita from every State in the Union and re* fisotirg the sentiment of nearly one 'thens and different localities pretty evenly distrib- ted over the whole country. The Times as serts that these letter* come -from intelli gent men of both parties—from lawyers, editors, college professors, politicians, state and municipal officers and business men, all dusea and vocations, in abort, which give o.porunity for familiarity with the currents of thought and feeling. The Times con cludes that the results “point unmistakably to the nomination of Grant by the Bepubd- oans, and Tilden by the Democrats.” The figures it presents go to show that if the nomination were to be made now, Grant wonld carry every State «x;ept Maine, Neva da, Oregon and poasihy California. If the Democratic convention ;were to nominate now, Tilden eeime cure of the votes of hot lees than twenty-one out of the thirty-eight States. Blaine seems seoond choice to Grant and Thurman to Tilden, with Bayard traveling a’ong not ve y far behind, and Hendrioxs and Hanoock bringing up the rear. I stick to my text. Ths two opposing forces will be headed as above. Piorideduf course Grant doesn’t drink himself to death or Tilden doesn’t joinlhe majority through the med'nm of a paralytio stroke. I also make an additiosal prediction on private account, viz: that Tilden’* renommatior. w.llbe made ths pretext for the attempted transfer of at least tome oengrtsaiocal dis tricts in the South to the Grant camp. Al ready I have heard ora representative from one of them who says ha wifi not supgort will be offset by diminished consumption, Also speculating on the negro emigra tion movement the Chronicle says: A general and permanent withdrawal -of the negroes—not from one part of the South to another, whioh ia only natural, but from the South outright, which would be very unnatural—would neces sarily be a calamity not only to that sec tion but to the whole country and to the world. And this for the reason that the negro is especially adapted to labor profit ably in tho cotton and the com field. Man is not superior to climstio influences, and no oonceivable development of physi cal being or expansion of power through machinery can ever alter this fset. The white man under a Sontbern sun, and the blaok man under Northern one, are alike oontrary to nature, and alike nnder a dis advantage, for tba same reason. What Is to be ther future of the South, and how tbe social and industrial relations of the races will adjust themaelyes, are prob lems we cannot yet be sure of; but we may write down the law of climate as unalterable. By the last"cen sus the colored population exceeded the white in Louisiana, Mississippi and South Carolina, while in the other Southern State* the preponderance waa the other way, and in the border States the whiles outnumbered the blaok* by five and ten to one, thus conforming to this law of climate. The movement now ia plainly hasty, tumultuous and unwise, although probably no expostulation can have any effect npon it. It musk work itself out, for however we may deplore the distress and waste thereby needlessly occasioned, there seems to be no remedy. Colored labor must go, and stay, wnere it is pe culiarly needed, however it may wander and suffer meanwhile. That place is not in tbe colder States, and after this rush has spent itself, if it has not already done so, as at present seems probable, the em igrants wbo have not perished by their own misfortune will probably drift back unnoticed. The Chronicle’s weather telegrams for the week report Cold nights and some heavy frosts. Drouth is complained of in Texas. In Mobile, Alabama, there wa3 nearly an inch of rainfall and a frost which made some replanting necessary.

Tbe professions! politioiacs and mana gers who think Presidential campaigns may be carried by Etrategy and sharp practice, are expending a great deal of effort in the preliminary struggle for po sition in 1880. But alter more than five years of bitter experience the people are looking forward to some mode of relief from their present suffering ahd impov erished condition. They are in no mood for seotional disputes or for tbe revival ot exploded issues. They want peaoe and the restoration of prosperity, and they will be spt to take the best means to attain that object irrespective of the wire-pull ers on both sides. Tbe elections since 1874 bays shown the Bepnblioans to be largely In a minor ity in the country. They were defeated in three Buooesaive contests for control of the House of Bspresentetlves, and they were beaten on the popular vote by more than a quarter of a million, and rathe Eleetoral Colleges, in 1876 for Preiident. Notwithstanding these indisputable foots, they are in possession of the Executive, and they will make a desperate stand next year to retain their hold ot it, by tho use of the immense Federal patron age. However mush they may be divided, and however rival faotion* may oontend against eaoh other, when tbe pinch oomes they will unite solidly to keep power, and to shat down the gates egainst exposures that wonld inevitably follow its loss. All tbe present indications point to the nomination of Gan. Grant for a third term. He is not only supported by tbe rings that brongbt so much disgrace on his administration, but by another cIses, who regard the :position of tbe party‘as desperate, and only to be saved by reviv ing discord between tbe North and South, and by taking a military candidate to enlist sympathy and support on a sec tional basis. This sobeme was initiated when Gen. Grant went abroad, and it has been pushed forward with artful appli ances ever tince thin. Tbe condition of ths organization is best revealed tbrongh this admitted ne cessity, by whioh all the foremost leaders in civil life, whose services and expe rience entitle them to consideration, and who ere eminent for abiltty, are to be thrust aside for a third-termer.- In mak ing this experiment, ihe managers ap pear to have short memories, and to for get that Gen.
