Hen ' derson and Johnston. ,.',. ' Correspondence ol The Obsebyeb. . Washington,' Jan. 19. The Blair bill is beginning to excite attention here. The Southern ' "membeW of Congress, especially . are interested; and seem disposed to favor the mfeas ure without regard : to i the constitu tional doubts seme think involved in the measure.' I have ; taken some pains .to ascertain two factsthe probable fate of the, biir and the opinion of the, North Carolinadele gation as to- the prospect of its -pa's- sage. . ',-, f.t fi , .-'I. "The bill is likely to be reported favora1tly.'ftIt.may. be reporjted'with slight amend ments.. If reported, 'it' will pass af terx f ull discussion' in the' House- -vv-;'f """v:-.: 2. The North Carolina members are in favor as a whole to the bill, some of them as being satisfied it is the best that can be done.' It' is well to give the reasons of those who do not feel easyof the cbnstitutionai ques tion. . - - - . , ; -. - The General' Assembly, by ' nearly a t wo-third vot e; ; has instructed the Senators, and requested the Repre septatives to vote for.- rthe i measure which passed the Senate in i the last Congress.f This is regarded, : in con nection with the voice of ihe people, expressed, through other channels, as resolving all except the mostj serious1 doubt of powe. If ihe , bill ; shall be amended so as to make it even stight ly more 'palatable these doubts will be entirely resoLved As I have said I have good authority for stating the position ot 'the delegation- to .be in: favor of the bill. 'Mr.- Johnston- per haps ; expressed ;tbe Southern Videa when he said this morning, "I would give the. people the benefit of every doubt, if there be a doubt. : Seventy, seven million of dollars with which: to build up our schools educate and make good citizens of the "wards of the nation,", and through all this im prove the whole condition of our peof pie, cannot be re jected on finespun distinctions.?1' ; L- ' M Mr1. Henderson said:. "I made my campaign in : a large measure, upon the issueand I have seen nothing to change my opinion. I do not Tegard the matter as involving doubt at all. As an - original propositibnj .to levy taxes, for the support of schools' I would oppose it as unconstitutional. But the 'money f has been collected under the regular constitutional powers or tne government, ana un der the precedents, especially that of '37, in the distribution of the surplus to the States, it can be appropriated for any purpose. Certainly Calhpuri, Jackson and others are good author ities Theyr were strict constitution ists, as I am. The right J seems per- but precedents" ,. j , j Mr. Henderson was of the opinion that the trustee ; clause of the Utah bill, was unconstitutional, and did not see how he, could vote for it on that account. "Vhat right,!, he asked, "has the General - Government 1 to take charge of the church property?" He pointed out two J3tates;,Has3a chusotts and , Connecticut, hal laws once which blended , church and State. But the Federal 'Government was prohibited by the Constitution from legislation which would secure such end3. j .Some of. today's bills are worthyof consideration Mr. ' Henderson j has two on the vexea subjectf -the civil sorvice. One of .these provides a term of four yeara and a protection ot not more - than six months for C'erksin the classified service These are important modifications of exist ing law;' The other bill relates, to the distribution. "It provides that the quota shall e that of the Congress ional district instead of the State Mr. Hendersontates in regard to ly ta the reform of the civil Fervice, &3 promised by the.Democratic party and now carried out by the Presi. dent. One of the provisions, that of a protection to clerks who- pass ex aminations and are assigned to duty, is intended to relax the present fate if deemed 'advisable; Mr. Henderson observes that the President has com trol over a number of ; matters, such as a modification of the rule which excludes many ; who served in the Confederate army, those above forty five years of -age : In i such -cases he did Jiot appear to xnsider legislation necessary or courteous to the Execs utive. Col Green'-introduced two a meas ures of prime importance. One was 1 his joint resolution of the last session i lwhicKthen'Jicked only one yvote of passing the House, a measure to pre vent .the adulteration of food: and drugs and -preserve the health' and morjey of the people. It recites the fap of various swindling manufac tures made in "this; country, or im ported;, and r provides for an expert commission of three' to be appointed jointly by the Secretary of the Treas ury and th Surgeons General of the army and navy. .: They are to receive a salary of three- thousand dollars each; , and are to have a competen t Clerk at t wo thousand dollars salary per annum. , jThe penalty for violate ing Jthe terrns -of the - law are i nbt too severe for such pffences Each" vio lation is punishable by a fine of from $100. to $300ror-from three :to six months imprisonment, or both,' at the discretion of : the ! United States Court, before which it1 is cognizable: tThe Jother -measure is r levelled: at ISSZZZSZZZZ turer, vender of .purchaser;:' if for use on table, . or at places of public entertainment tb be labelled 'Voleb margarine. '' A penalty of . not less than $25 nor more than $5(f for each violation ; is provided , , Both these measures are rendered constitutional by confining.their scope .; to the' PisN tricV of rColumbiatheTerritories and arsenal and navy yards .of the gov ernment. .(!,..; . f'-: Col: Green is regarded by many of the organizations of the- country whichare intended to prompte san itation by punishing fraud in i food and .medicines as the reader in form. ulating and pushing legislation look ing to that end.' Great numbers of his speechdifl the iHouse two years ago on the subject have been circu lated by some of these-societies t ; ; Other ' bills 1 were introduced ; ; By Col. Green, concerning : mileage of roembers ; by Geri.Cbxj to retire army ofiScefs in certain cases j by-'-rTjjfor-additional life-saving - service on the coast of North Carolina. I think Mr. Skinner : introduced this bill. j i i. x I Gen." Cox. has appointed B. ,T. Mr. Womack clerfe of his committee, that of Civil Service Reform. Judge Benv net; chairman of the . committee "on Expenditures in the State Departs ment, nas maae Mr. ueorge Jt. nor ton, of I Wadsboro clerk of , his com4 mittee. - ;" ' Mrs.. Thomas G. Skinner;' has; ar rived at the Metropolital Hotel : The health of Mrs: Turner, 1 wife of Hon.-. H. G. Turner of , Georgia, . is much better than it has been. The House granted leave today to Judge Bennett to print his remarks on the Presidential Succession bill. This speech will give his reasons for the vote he cast last week.'3 Governor ,Rbbirison and 'Collector Yarborough are in the cityj v: H. WEWs'lTEklS." Isasc Steelman, of Philadelphia, manager of a washing machine com pany of Boston was arrested in Phil- aueipnia on itsaturaay, cnargea wnn embazzling - $500 and? papers vals ued at t3,000 from the company.
