BUSINESS FINISHED.
business is well up, but a good deal
has been flnishod in a rather slovenly
matin *r. Every one who visits Atlanta is
convinced that tho House is too unwieldy
a body on accouut of its largo numbers.
Too many private bills aro introduced.
They consume too much time, to the dr»-
iunfit of general busiuess.

WASHINGTON.
[9PBCIAL CORJIKSrONDINCB ENQUIRER AMD BUS.]
Washington, February 22, 1874.
t have au idea that tho man who may
bo experiencing the fury of a hurricane
cannot tell with any definiteness from
whit particular point of the compass the
wind is blowing; so it is with our nation
al finances iu Congress. There is so much
windy theory aud breezy speculation, and
those strike you ho diffusely that the mind
bocoinos bewildered. I have often thought
during tho present session, while listening
to the provokiugly mystifying exordiums
of grave Senators ou tho financial pro- *
blom, that I would like to study finance,
political economy, nnd all the abstractions
that go to mako up that uncertain thing
exiled “political science;" but, then, I re
member that throe score und tou years is
the allotted period of human life, and de
spairingly give it up. Besides, I cannot
see that any of our living statesmen fur
nish encouragement to begin a study of
fiuauce. There aro Boutwell, Morton,
tSheruuiu, Old Z.ck Chandler, Parson
Brownlow, bimou Cutnerou, Secretary
Richardson, and a score of others, upon
whom the ambitious mind looks with ad
miration, nnd who furnish emphatic and
living illustrations of tho utter impossi
bility of the average American mind mas
tering this abstruse thing. The more yon
try to learn finance from our Bolous of
tho Senate, tho greater becomes the im
possibility of mastering oven its first
principles. 1 would rather try to acquire
tho gruco and agility of tho combined bal
let of tho Jllack Crook than to coutinuo
in tho hopeless study of tiu'inco from my
porch in the reporter’s gallery, do those
readers of the Enquirer \vho» expoet to
learn tiimnoo from your Washing
respondent had better abandon this col-
The fact that these bald-headed Sena
tor.) know nothing about finance does i
prevent them from orating upon it.
cardinal rule of tho Sonate is to talk
and somo who would ordinarily have vot-
od for Bard are disposed to vote against
him simply to cry “check" to Gordon.
The nomination still rests with the com
mittee. If Bard can obtain a majority
report he will capture the mail bags.
Mr. Dawes’ speech on the finances, in
which he severely criticized the adminis
tration of tho Treasury Department aud
the gouoral oxtruvaganoe of the present
Administration, is having good offeot. At
first there was a strong disposition to de
pose Mr. Dawes from the leadership of
(he House for thus jeopardizing tho future
•prospects of tho Republican party, bnf
redaction has convinced the leaders that
such an extreme proceeding might prove
a most troublesome boomerang. Ho Mr.
Garfield will essay to answer Dawes, and
strivo to prove that, in the Administration
arithmetic, tho footings are liot as Mr.
Duwos has placod them on the national
black-board. Tho point of Mr. Garfield’s
argument will bo to demonstrate that two
added to two will not make four. That
Mr. Dawes speech has had good effect is
idoncod by the fact that siuoo its do-
livery some half-dozen bills have been
introduced in tho House providing for tho
abolition or correction of somo of tho
more flagrant abuses assailed.
The Legislative, Judicial and Execu
tive Appropriation bill is now peudiug in
tho House. Tho entiro amount appropri
ated in this bill is $10,303,001. A clause
iu tho bill provides that the various de
partments shall be kept open for business
and tlio clerical force shall be kept at
work at least seven hours of each work
ing day, with au allowauce of one half
hour for lunch. At present the national
clerks woik about ilvo and one-half hours
each day.
Congressional seutimont is becoming
udvurse to the Centennial project. Tho
Centennial bill will come up for discus
sion in tho Semite on Wednesday next
unless tho iluunco debates extend over
that day, which it is likely to do. Among
those who will ndJress the Senate iu op-
long as a word can bo uttored on every position to tho Centennial scheme
proposition presented, and last week ‘Mr. Sumner aud tho Kentucky Senators,
“Fionnco and Currency" was so devotedly
chewed up that no oue outside of tho
Senate would suppose a single morsel
and all the Democrats it is said will op
pose it ou tho ground that it has boon
undo a party question, and was one of
the issues in lhe recent mayoralty elec
tion iu Philadelphia. Senator Sumu6r
has expressed hiiusolf as particularly dis
gusted at tho idea of huviug au exhibi
tion iu connection with the colebration of
so sacred and Bolewi an event. It is
slated that un amendment will Lu offered
to tho Centennial bill providing that
while the colebratiuu shall be held in
Philadelphia, a world's fair Bhall be held
in Washington at the same time. The
general belief is that Congress will not
appropriate one dollar for tho undertak
ing, tho condition of tho Treasury being
a good reason for refusing if there was no
other. Chattahoochee.
left. Nor is there any of it left; but this
week they will just heave up tho old cud
and masticate it all ovor again. They did
succeed iu getting one or two votes,
which may bo written down ns tho test of
opinion as to whether we aro to have
more currency issued; and, so far as
these votes indicate anything, tho infla
tion policy will prevail. After negativing
Cameron’s proposition lo authorize free
biukiug, n vote was obtained to instruct
tho Financo Committeo to report a bill
authorizing tho bank circulation to bo in
creased to $1400,000,000. A proposition
made by Senator Gordon to distribute tho
increased amount among tho States that
have not their quota, aoeordiug to popu
lation and production, was withdrawn, but
may be renewed at a future stage. Tho
bill will in nil probability bo recommitted
this shape, aud when it is reported by
tho committee wo will have another flood
talk, and the wise men will Again put
out to sea in their tub.
Tho frauking privilege oconpied the
House for a day or two last week, and
will doubtlosi ruu away with many more
days beforo a voto is reached. Tho Dill
under consideration was reported from , . , „ ,

Roads, and provides for tho free circula
tion through tho mails of documents or
dered by Congress. It also permits tho
free circulation of newspapers in tho
county in which published, nnd tho free
circulation of uowspapor exchanges. Mr.
Knsson, of Iowa, a former assistant post
master general, made a labored and earn
est speech against tho bill, proposing ns
on amendment that tho agricultural ro
port and tlio abridgement of the Presi
dent's message aud tho (xeotivo docu
ments that accompany it, shall bo sent to
any person who will pay 25 cents for oaclt
volume. It is claimed Hint this is tho
most economical plan fur the government
and I lie most equitable for the citizen, as
it will imver the espouse of tho documents
and place them within reach of everyone.
If left to C Ingresouen, ns under tho old
system, only partisan fiionds of tho mem
bers aud Senators would receive them,and
it two frequently would liappou that tho
books would bo forwarded, for tho most
part, to (h k-> -G; , care nothing for them,
and to wh no they would bo of no service.
Thoro is somo force in this argument.
During tho discussion, a little oxcite-
rnont was occasioned by an exhibition on
tho part of Messrs. Crossland and Bock,
both from Kentucky. These gentlemen
became entangled in a wrangle, nnd Cross-
land rnshodover to Bock in n threatening
manner, anil shook his fist under Bock's
nasal organ. The said organ maintained
its composure, and Air. Buck was not hurt.
Tho House was thrown into iutenso ex-
citcmout, nnd the boys in tho Reporters’
gallery expressed much disgust that tho
turmoil ended without somebody getting
hit. It is a shaino lo spoil so fine a pros
pect for a newspaper sensation. A fight
mu (ha floor now and then would bo so nc-
| eepUble to tho Reporters’ gallery. Tho
usual apologies were made the day follow
ing the quasi mill, and tho two Kentuck
ians still take their Donrbon straight in
friendly commuuion.
