As the present deadlock between Congress and the President may not be fully understood by everyone, we may state that the four laws which tlie Democrats tried to repeal at the last f e ;s'ion of Congress, and whose repeal they are still desirous, if possible, to ef fect, are these: 1. The law authorizing two supervis ors of election, one belonging to each party, to be appointed by the Federal court for each voting-place. 2. The law authorizing the marshals t appoint an unlimited number of deputy marshals, all of whom may be of one party, to sustain and support the supervisors in their efforts to secure a fair (!) election. :!. The law authorizing the district attorneys and other persons to require grand and petty jurors in the Federal courts to take the iron-clad oath. 4. The law authorizing the President to station troops at the polls to pre serve the peace when elections for Con gressmen are going on. The fate of these measures still hangs lire, and what the President will do about them is still unknown. Upon this point the Washington correspon dent of the Xew York TYmfs telegraphs that paper as follows: For the past two or three days it has leen currently rumored in certain cir cles here that a so-called compromise had been entered into between the execu tive and legislative branches of the gov ernment, by the terms of which the President would sign the appropriation bills in the form in which the Demo crats have agreed to pass them. In other words, that the Republican ad ministration was ready to surrender everything for which the Republican partv has been contending, except the supervisors of election, who, under the enactments proposed by the Democrats, would be practically iowerless to pre vent fraud. A number of official and personal friends of the President, who are believed to be in a position to know of what thev sneak, deny these stories and say that the President has entered into no compromise with the Demo crats. It is not denied, however, that Secretary Evarts favors some adjust ment, even at the cost of a partial sur render on the Republican side, which might secure a settlement of the pend ing difficulty between the two branches of the government and bring about an early adjournment -of Congress. t As further information (reliable or unreliable) upon the point at issue, we quote the following from the Washing ton Republican of Thursday: Gen. Garfield's visit to him the Presi dent was occasioned by a proper anx iety, in view of his position as the ac knowledged Republican leader in the House, to understand exactly what his fellow-partisans in that body might ex pect from the administration in the pending emergency, wherein it is ac knowledged the most vital interests of that party are at stake. . It is sufficient, to add that he came 'away from the President convinced that a reasonable prospect exists of harmonious concert? of action between him and the Repub licans in Congress in opposition to the general line of repeal policy proposed by the Bourbons. "Senator Zach Chandler is another stalwart Republican who has recently hail conferences with the President upon the same subject. In the course of a brief and casual talk with the Na tional Republican yesterday he remark ed, in effect: "The President is all right. He may be relied on in this emergency as safely as any straightforward RepiuV lican could be." In answer to a query whether he had ever heard the President express any opinion pointedly and explicitly in fa vor of a retention of the provision for the appointment of special deputy mar shals for service at national elections he said: "No, not on that point explic itly; but I know what I am talking alxmt when I say that he will stand by the general Republican proposition as embraced in what is known as the supervisors law." It may be said with a good deal of certainty that if any more yielding is done it will be by the President. The idea that Congress will concede more than it has already done, not to be thought of for a moment. As to the relative powers of the executive and legislative branches of the government for holding out, the"aclvantage of en durance is altogether with the latter. - - TAXING DOGS lifted up its head sporadically in differ ent ones of the Southern States all throughout the winter past. There are good reasons for saying that the germs of the disease still linger in the fever districts of last year, and that the fever cnly needs food to cause it to re-assert itself as powerfully as it did last sum ,ner. This is very serious talk but it is none the less true, and the subject is one which requires serious attention, not only in Tennessee, Mississipp.tand. Alabama, but here and everwhere ; for the experience of last summer proved that the yellow fever knows no distinc tive territory, but can live wherever it can find material to live upon. The only protection against it is in absolute cleanliness, and it is riot we repeat, too early to begin arrange ments for enforcing this. CONGRESS'S EXTRA SESSION SO SESSION OF THE SENATE. SUM. Grant Invited to Visit the. . King-Sup-xtjlng Party American Goods. -tiOKDON, March 28. A letter from Bangkok, Siam, dated the 17th of March says the King of Siam has sent an au tograph letter to Gen. Grant, inviting him to visit Siam and become his guest. Gen. Grant is expected at Singapore about the 1st of April. The American consul at Bangkok, accompanied by the King's aid-de-camp and one of the princes, will sail down the Gulf of Siam on a government steamer to meet and welcome Grant and escort him to Bang kok. The letter also says the English sur veying party which left upper Burmah several months ago, consisting of fifty men with twenty elephants, has just reached the Tochen river and is expect ed at Bangkok in about a week. Arrivals of American goods in Siam are increasing and they are much sought after by both foreigners and Siamese. Denunciation of Archbishop Purcell. Debate in the House on the Army Bill A Partisan Debate Stephens to Speak To-Day. ENLARGEMENT ; S OF CHINA CHINA CROCKERY -AND GLASSWARE Washington, March 25 House. Young, of Ohio, referring to the appoint ment of a select committee to investi gate the election of his colleague, But- terworth, ana nimseir, sent to uie clerk's desk and had read an extract from the report of the grand jury which had just examined the matter, to the effect that the grand jury, after exam ining tiftv witnesses, had found no ground to' take further proceedings in regard to it. He explained that his ob ject was to prove to the members rthe House that his1 colleague and himself were not considered in the county of Hamilton as very bad persons. xhe The House then at 1 o clock, went in to committee of the whole on the army appropriation bill. After the adoption of two or three amendments of no particular general interest, Tucker, of irginia, offered an amendment repealing section 1218 of the revised statutes. This is the section which prohibits appointment to the army of any person who served in any capacity in the military, naval or civil service of the Confederate States. (ionger made a point of order against the amendment. Tucker argued that the amendment was germane. He trusted the amend ment would meet with universal appro bation on botli sides and that the stig ma which rested on a very large class of people of the Southern States would be as a matter of justice wiped out from the statute hook. After some discussion between Messrs. Tucker and Conger, the latter stated that his party friends desired to meet the issue inamanly way,and there fore he withdrew his point of order. Sparks, of Illinois, renewed it. The chairman sustained the point on the ground that the amendment was not in the direction of economy, and changed the existing order. Yn amendment to amend the act granting pensions to the soldiers and sailors of the war of 1S12 was ruled out of order. MeCook, of New York, moved to strikeout the section prohibiting pro motions or appointments in the army beyond the rank of captain except in the engineers. In the discussion which followed some sharp remarks were in terchanged between Sparks, of Illinois, and Conger, of Michigan, as to the ser vices renaereu uy mem respectively during the late war, Sparks stating that like the gentleman from Michigan he had been a little too cowardly to tight on either side. Conger replied that he had served as a member of the State military board of Michigan. After de bate the amendment to strikesout was defeated. The consideration of the bill having been concluded with the exception of section 6, repealing the statutes allow ing the military to preserve peace at the polls, that section was read. Upon this there commenced a long and inter esting debate, the Republicans insisting that the section changed the existing laws and did not retrench expenditures. The Democrats contended, as one of their members argued, that the power to make rules and regulations for the army and navy was a fundamental power of Congress, and he had never, heard that power questioned. The de bate is regarded as the preliminary skirmish to along battle between both sides in the House. Mr. Carlisle, of Kentucky, made the leading arguments on the Democratic side to-day, insisting that troops should not be allowed at the polls, and was argued with bv Robe son, Fi ve and other Republicans. Late in the afternoon Stephens, of Georgia, obtained the floor and will address the House tomorrow. Cincinnati. March 28 Some little excitement was occasioned at a meet ing of the Catholic priests of this dio cese last night for the purpose of per fecting plans for the relief of Arch bishop Purcell, by an announcement that Frank Graver, Chas. Stewart and Thomas Scanlon had been appointed by the archbishop a committee to receive all charitable contributions to pay the diocesan debt. This appointment was understood to mean that the committee appointed bv the priests was completely ignored, and caused a bitter discussion in which Father Callaghan, of the Ca thedral, who was supposed to be at the bottom of this appointment, was de nounced by the German priests espe cially. The meeting finally adjourned without united action upon the matter. Weekly net receipts 6394: eross 10,167; satti ftfVrvrT? rVtT JtUfL OiiaL5SHmi!C -t; exports to GreatBritalii 3,07 1 . ..

KUiml- VVe see it stated that the State of Ohio realized last year by the tax on dogs the handsome sum of 236,758, and af ter this it is not surprising to learn that Ohio is one of the greatest sheep-raii!-' ing States on the continent, Licking county having 206,544 head, worth $461, 123, and Paulding county, the smallest producer of wool and mutton, having o,67? sheep. North Carolina, we sup posej fcould rival her western sister in the number of dogs, but in the number of sheep we are sadly behind. Indeed, we have as many demagogues in North Carolina as we have sheep, and if the crop continues to increase they wfll presently outnumber the dogs. Then ar very large element of our population will be tax free we mean the canines and the demagogues. It is a well estahr lished fact that it is " unconstitutional ' to tax the dog that is to say, for ai Legislature to do it, though it is all right in a board of aldermen ; and we suppose it is likewise " unconstitution al " to tax the demagogue, because wheri it was moved in the last General As sembly to levy a tax of $5 on membars of .the Legislature, the proposition was defeated, and it must have been be cause of the constitutional barrier,' be cause we do not believe a less cotreht objection would have stood in the wfiy of tfie adoption of the motion.

The people of some oflthe cities of the extreme South Atlantic and of the (Julf f States are already taking steps to guard i against a recurrence of the yellow feyer epidemic of last year. It is not too early. , That was a. fearful plague; and it has LReidavllle Times. We are tired of bloodshed. We are tired street bullies. We are tired of laws half enforced. We wish to see brain rule bile. The Charlotte Observer com pares Cox, armed to the teeth, to a vio lent beast at large on the streets of At lanta, and asks why should not the au thorities have restrained him. We know no reason save from fear of violating a custom so prevalent among pettifogr ging peace officers of first seeing a min der done before turning., loose the law to protect the partv. Why, we can call to mind in a certain town in this State two men, both dangerous, and breath ing blood against each other who were allowed the utmost limit for murder, the curious standing tiptoe and watch ing for results, until an outsider sent word to the authorities and by special request had bloodshed prevented. We hear of the other day in a certain city two young men armed with pistols and eyeing as wild beasts, for each other on the streets, one proposing to kill the other because of his intervention in preventing a proposed elopement with a lady. It is said that an ex-judge hap pened present when the two met and with friendly hand knocked aside the pistols. It is clear that the guardians of the law are a notch below the sense of an order loving people in the loose anu slatternly performance of their du ties. This country is marching on. It has already reached a refinement that blushes at the use of the knife, the pis tol, and the bludgeon, and would fain look to just and unricht men in authori ty to clear its track of such bloody sym- uuis 01 a oaroarous age. Ate medy that has been Bem;dted. 1 ne nivincioie repugnance ieit oy almost every one to the smell and flavor of Cod Liver Oil, has prevented tens of thousands of the victims of de bility, from reaping the benflts of peculiar healing and nutriUve properties.
