Perhaps the issue miglit as well be fought out to exhaustion now fas later. Congress no longer presents j divided front to an executive which has been claimed, if not uniformly used, as a sort of chattel slave or presidential coach horse for such fast drivers and hard t.vsk-masters as Blaine, ConkJing, Ed munds, the two Chandlers, and the like. It was Congress, with the passive sanc tion of a : peace-loving country, that made Mr. Hayes President in the mem orable crisis of two years agobut these men have assumed the somewhat pro miscuous office of overseeing'and man aging him in the name of a party which did not elect him. The President must now choose whether he will settle down in complete servitude to these masters, and at their bidding rush into desperate conflict with a united Congress, or whether he will respect the .expressed wishes of this body as the;'sovereign representative assembly of the country. The issue has been made upon the de termination of the Democratic majori ties of the two houses to repehl the jury test oath and provide for thoroughly non-partisan and non-sectional juries, and to amend existing laws so as to do away with the use of federal troops, federal supervisors, and a multitude of deputy marshals at elections1 for Con gressmen and presidential fleccors in the several States. Will the President approye the ap propriation bill as passed and virtually revoke his vetoes, or will he hold out at the peril of a partial or complete paral ysis of the business of the government for want of supplies? It is scarcely credible that the President vhll permit duty to the country to be completely eclipsed by subserviency to a conclave of unscrupulous and reckless partisans. Unless he does subside into the dark ness of such an eclipse, he will not let the issue go to a dangerous extremity, but will yield his objections to a mea sure which he knows will be insisted on to the last and approve them when presented in original bills disconnected from appropriations. He can do this with perfect assurance of accord with the letter and spirit of the cpnstitution, and with the genius and. progress of representative government. The con stitutional right of Congress to legislate as proposed is not disputed, and is be yond dispute; and history is witness that in all contests of the people with arbitrary authority the triumph of the IKjople, when finally established, takes the form of the mastery of their parlia mentary representatives who hold the key to the supplies necessary to the ex ecutive machinery of government. This was seen in England. It is being seen in France. Late and special experience does not justify the belief that popular liberty and representative government can be secured in this country without parliamentary supremacy 1 . ... , . Tiik Frauds in tiik Tl-kAsriiv Dk I'artmkxt Senator Davis, of West Virginia, who has been examining the treasury books, thinks the committee will not be able to reort to the extra session of Congress. Enough has been discovered to startle the country. Al terations have been found in figures where erasures are visible, which change results by millions of dollars, and the main part of these alterations occurred between i$o: and 1S7.. Certain volumes which the clerks of Mr. Davis's commit tee have called for have not been pro duced and cannot be fouurt, and in some volumes as many as ten pages at a time are missing, and the sheets show they have simply been cut oii-t, thereby not only defacing ami mutilating a most valuable account book, Hut rendering it impossible for experts to tell any thing about the standing of certain im portant accounts. MrDavis thinks the discrepancy in the accounts of various officers of the treasury will reach the enormous sum of $200,000,000. The South and the Speakership. All of the Democratic Congressmen from North .Carolina, with the excep tion of Col. Steele, voted for Mr. Ran dall for Speaker; he voted for Mr. Black burn, and also for Caldwell, of Ala bama, for clerk, against Adams, the old incumbent. A canvass of the vote niiuwn ui.il nan. ol jvir. rtanuau s sup port came from the South ; yet in the face of this fact, and of the further fact that Clerk Adams is an ex-Union sol dier, we are still twitted with the solid uy of the South and told that nobody but a "rebel" can get an office under the Forty-Sixth Congress. 4 ' A bill lias been introduced in the Jew York Legislature for the estab lishment, at the lower end of Manhat tan Island, of an underground railway depot or terminus, and to tunnel the Hudson river, so that the great trunk lines could bring their freight right in to tne city of .New ork,, instead of dis charging it on the Newj Jersey shore Though not questioning the mactica- bility of such a scheme, the- New York j.

WHY STOOP TO CONQUER THE PLAN OF THE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS COM MITTEES. The Appointment of Supervisors to be Still Permitted if the Other Politi cal Measures are Allowed to Pass A Disagreement Be tween the Committees an to Other Business. Washington', March 22. The House caucus committee appointed yesterday, with Mi-. Chalmers, of Mississippi, as chairman, to confer with the Senate caucus committee, of which Senator Thurman is chairman, met shortly be fore 11 o'clock. The joint committee held a five and a half hours' continuous session. There were present Senators Thurman, Whyte, Kernan, Saulsburv and Jones, of Flori da, Vance and Bailey, and Representa tives Chalmers. Carlisle, Cox, of New York.Ewing. Springer, Tucker, Atkins, Clvmer, Reagan, Becknell and Phelps. Senator Thurman presided. The first question discussed was whether the po litical legislation desired by the domi nant party in Congress should be effect ed by the passage of a separate meas ure or by the incorporation of the re pealing clauses, xc, in the appropria tion bills. Nearly every one present par ticipated in the discussion. It was final ly determined that the latter course would be most exjtedient,especiaJlyfor the reason that it seemed likely to save time, there being a general desire to finish the necessary business of the ses sion as early as possible. This deter mination was reached by ;v vote of 13 against ."V, two Senators and three Rep resentatives voting in the negative. The next question considered was whether the political portion of the appropriation bills should now be pass ed in the same terms in which they were passed at the last session, or whether the repealing clauses in regard to the election laws should be modified so as to repeal only those sections which authorize the appointment ot duel su pervisors and deputy marshals for elec tions, together with the sections con ferring police powers on the supervi sors, thus continuing the authorization for the appointment of two siiiervisois of different politics to serve in a testi monial capacity at each poll ;ts witness es at the count of votes. After an ex haustive discussion it was decided to recommend the adoption of the modi fied proiosition above described. The vote was It against 4, there being two Senators and two Representatives in favor of a total reieal. The joint meeting then authorized Senators Thurman, Saulsburv, Bailey and Kernan, and Messrs Chalmers, Springer, Carlisle and Atkins to formu late provisions in accordance with this decision in regard to the election laws, and also provisions for the total repeal of the juror's test oath and the existing authorization of the presence of troops at the polls, for incorporation iirthe leg islative, executive and judicial and ar my appropriation bills, together with such additional provisions as they may deem necessary to secure free and fair elections for representatives and dele gates to Congress, They were also especially authorized to consider the'proprlety of framing a substitute for section &,522 oi the Revis ed Statutes, which prescribe penalties for the violation of election laws. The-joint sulVcoioriiittee will meet at 3 o'clock on Monday .-and expect -ioue-port to another joint meeting of the two caucus committees a Tuesday. After, ippoiuting this a?stU4-ceminittee the joint meeting to-dayr-io$eeded to consider the question -wbjetherjthe legis lation of the present sesien1 should be strictly confined to the appropriation bills including the measures above in- -dicated, or whether general business should not be transacted by either House when not engaged on the appro priation bills. A decided majority of the Senate caucus committee favored the restriction of the business of the session to the appropriation bills, and to the enactment.of what is known as the "yellow fever bill." A majority, but not a large majority, of the House committee insisted that opportunities for transacting general business should be improved, without, however, pro longing the session after the appropria tion bills shall have been disposed of. It was finally decided bo report a dis agreement on this subject to the joint caucus, and leave the settlement of the question to the Democratic members of both Houses. This meeting of the joincaucus will probably be held on Monday evening. Case Decided Against a Marshal. lulled Slates Atlanta, March 21.

Washington, March 24. Senate. Mr. Beck introduced a bill for the set-? tlement of accounts with cettaiu rail- roads coninaniea-. Butler, onja.aaith.oliz- ing the Secretary of War to deliver to A. if. Knett ana, osuers, iour apoieou guns for the use of the Charleston, S. C, artillery ; also a bill for the relief of the sufferers by the loss of the steamer J. D. Cameron. A large number of bills were introduced, including several by Mr. Coke and orfe by Mr. Kellogg, giving aid to- certain 'railroads extending from Texas to specified, points on the Rio Grande. Salisbury's resolution, calling upon the secretary of the treasury for infor mation concerning the negotiations of United States securities, the amount of interest paid, etc., was passed. A motion wras then made to proceed to the election of ofheers of the Senate. An animated debate here sprang up. Anthony said that nothing he could do would prevent the foregone conclusion of the majority to n.aKe a sweeping t change of officers : not hecause it was de- manded by duty butb ecause partisan- j ship demanded it, As one who held in re spect if not reverence the precedents and usages of the Senate, he desired to en ter his protest against the personal in convenience to which they would all be subjected, and the disturbance of the order of the business of the Senate which would occur by the abrupt change of officers. He mentioned the names of several officers of the Senate who had never been disturbed in their official relations to the body. Hamlin followed Anthony, saying he hoped that party spirit would not run riot in the Senate. Wallace replied that there was no in tention to interfere with business or break down the life of the Senate. The majority only desired that the officers held so" many years by Republicans should be filled by gentlemen political ly in accord with a majority of the Senate. They had gentlemen abundant ly qualified to fill them. Conkling uttered his regrets at the fact that the officers of the Senate were to be displaced. Mr. Bayard was impressed with the speech of Senator Anthony, as it con tained matters of historic interest. He regarded as dangerous and degrading the rewarding of partisans with gov ernment places. It had entered the civil service of the country, and unless it should be in a great degree moditied,it would increase,to the detriment of good government. The bestowal of office should be in consideration of the wel fare of the country, the dignity of the government and the purity of our in stitutions. The power of appointment to offices in this body had fallen to his parly. He did not understand that it contemplated any such slaughter of in nocents as -was contemplated by the opposite side. Observation had shown that instead of Federal offices having been bestowed for the good of the coun try, with capable and -honest incum bents, they had been, used for many years for the benefit of a single party. Those who now complained never ne glected to fill the offices with their party friends. -- ' The debate was further participated in by Senators Beck, Blaine, Hill and others, and at a late hour the Senate proceeded to vote and elected the offi cers recently nominated by the Demo cratic caucus. NOMINATION'S. The ' President sent the following nominations to the Senate: Dr. John 1J. Hamilton, ot Illinois, to be supervis ing surgeon general of the United States marine hospital service; Geo. Scroggs, of Illinois, consul at Hamburg. Joseuh Hopkins, postmaster at Brownsville, Texas. THE ENGLISH LABOR SITUATION. A Strong Element In Favor of a Strike. London March 21. The detailed re port of the meeting of weavers at Black burn on Nit unlay, shows the existence of great excitement and a strong party in favor ol a strike. Mr. W hally, secre tary of the weavers' union, for Black bun1., reported that two-thirds of the masters had posted notices of a 5 per cent, reduction of wages, but that the masters were less unanimous than thev were before the strike and lockout of 187s. Representatives ol the operatives of Church, Oswaldtwistle, Ha r wood, Padi ham, Chilheroe, Rishburn, Bamber- bridge and Burnley next gave reports to the etrect that the general teelmg m their districts favored submission until a favorable opportunity arose to recov er the reduction. A motion was then submitted in favor of acceptance of 5 per cent, reduction on the understand ing that the whole of the 15 per cent. reduction snail be restored as soon as possible. An amendment in favor of resistance by strike, if necessary, met with much support. A disorderly scene followed. The proposition for a strike w-as repeatedly cheered, and the oppo nents thereof hooted down, it seemed as though the majority were about to decide in favor of a strike, when a mo tion for adjournment was proposed, so that the feelings ot the masters individ ually might be further tested. The ad vocates of the strike refused to -with draw the proposal, and the motion for adjournment was not carried until after lour shows of hands and many appeals to the meeting to be calm and not rashly plunge into another struggle What Fire?
