THE NEWS A. 1DERALD. WINNSDOIO, S. 0. TIRRDAY, MABCfIr 13, r 1879. r. MR'giv DAVId, EDITGa ~XY. 8. iEYNOLD8" AISOCIATS EDITOR. Mn. NonuoFF, of the New York I rald, allays the fbars of the people. He says that Washington is just now the quietest place in the world, that Zach Chandler is hobnobbing with Confederate brigadlers instead of chewing their bones, and that no such volcanic eruption is imminent as partisan Journals prophesy. The Greenbackers have not succeeded in their plot to capture Congress, and Hayes is not fearing revolution. Al together the situation is by no mcans gory. TtnE REPORT from Washington that the Attorney General of South Caro lina had sent a free and full pardon to Patterson for all his misdeeds, has already been mentioned. This natur ally caused some excitement, and Governor Simpson and Colonel You mans were interviewed. Both denied knowledge of any such thing. Pat terson telegraphs from Washington that the assertion was made by "Corbin's crew" in order to provoke a denial. On the other hand, the Washington agent of the Associated Press says the information was given by Patterson. Satisfied that the State authorities have not been so foolish, it will make little difference to the people whether Corbin or Patterson strted thi lie. A stronTr of the News and Cou 'i r *et out the other day to interview eaator Hampton. After a perfect Stanley expedition he discovered the South Carolina statesman in a boat on a pond in the swamps of Colleton, quietly fishing for trout. The Senator refused to come ashore, but a threat being made that the reporter would swim in and have an interview any bow, he surrendered. Ile hoped to be able to attend the extra session. lis leg was giving him pain, owing to diseased bone, but nature or a sur geon was expected to make all right In a month or so. Senator Hampton was positive in the conviction that Congress should never yield until the law suffering Federal interference in -electipns be repealed. The Democrats should fight it out on that line all sum suer. Senator Hampton is eminently wise, and his opinion on this point is worth a great deal. Ta G--ENACKERs ought to go out 'and die. Their whole fight, ostensi bly, is to get greenbacks. The result of their ef'orts has been to divide the Democratic vote and elect hard money RIadicals-slaves of the money kings. The few Congressmen elected are now scheming to effect a deadlock in the llouse, the consequence of which could only be the election to the speakersldp of Gardeld, the hardest money man in Congress, and the advocate of all the Rtadical rase;ality. Instead of forming new clubs, and preparing for another contest, which can result only in letting in a Radical minority as was the case in 1800, the Greenbackers had better disband and join the old recognized party that will give them a better chance of relief flrom their real or fanc.ied ills. At the South, the Greenbackers can but destroy Democratic supreniacy and leave the balance of power in the hands of the Radicals. Altogether the Greenback movement 16 one from which no practical good can result. Who Will 30 President I Th~e New York Herald has been in terviewing our statesmen on the qumes tion of the President's election. It: found all the New York Republicans for Grant and the Democrats for Tilden. Extending Its interviews over the whole Congress, Blaine ap peared to have most strength among the Rtepublicans. All the Democratic Congressmen were Interviewed. Of theme Aifty odd favored Thurman, nineteen were for Tilden and ten for Banyard. About forty were non-comn inittal. Congressmen Aiken and Evinis expressed a prefbrence for Thurman, as his financial views are in accord with Southern ideas. It will be seen that Thurman has gained great strength of late, especially among the Democrats in Washington. In 1876 he was barely mentionmed in the conyention. He has, however, inade himself the leader in the exist lng fight over the election laws. As long as thais is the overshadowing issue In polities, Thurman will be In the lead, as Bayard opposed the fight, and.Tilden and Hlendricks, being in private life, have no voiee. The Herald inclines to the belief that oni this question of great Interest to the lbulldozed naturalized voters of New York, Thurman would even be more acecofable than Tildena, who has hi bitErest enemies right at home. On o'lary issues Bayard Wudhavi the greateat strength. He would have the enthusiastic Southern vote, would sweep Now York, New Jersey and Connecticut, it is clahnett, like aI whirlwind, and by the conifession of New England Republican papers would make Massachusetts and Rhode Island doubtful States, if opposed by Gralt.:. The Philadelpnia Times thinks the Democrats are right for once. It says that in 1860 the Democrats endeavor ed to stifle free ballots and the le- t pu)lblicanIs won on that issue. Now the situation is reversed, and the Radicals will be swept away by a popular vote as the Democrats were before. TUE WAYS OF rA8HINOTON. News and Go sip from the National1 Capital. .The New House--Soaper's Sorrows-- Susan Anthony and the Drummer-- Honest John Goes West. (F1ox OUR 14PROIAL COItRRBPONDENT.) WAsHINUroN, D. C., March 8.-The principal events of last week in this city were the closing acts of the Forty fifth Congress. This body, during the last two weeks of the session, seemed suddenly to be seized with a super abundance ofofenergy and patriotism, and the closing days were distinguished by continuous day-and night sessions-including the hst two Sundays. Many of the members, too, had no doubt an ulterior motive, to makea figure atthe close of their politi cal career. The house assembled at 9, a. in., Sunday, aher a recess of a few hours, having been in session all night. The bill in regard to arrears of pensions was then passed. The original bill appropriates $25,000,000 for this pur pose. The committee on the ''legisla tive bill" reported disagreement, and the committee on the repeal of the ju rors' test oath, supervisors law, and deputy marshals, were unable to ngree up to the close of the session. The Senate, after taking a recess front 8:30 to 10, a. ml., assembled at the latter hour. Mr. Ferry was elected president pro tern., Mr. Wheeler hav ing given notice that he would not again preside at the session. The only business of special public imnportanca was the passage of the House bill to prevent the introduction and spread of contagious diseases. An executive session was held from halt-past ten to htaltpast eleven. Dur ing this time, the crowd in the halls and corridors became so great that the door-keeper hat to put them back two or three times. When the doors were thrown open a rush was made for seats, and the galleries were soon crowded to their utmost capacitv. The spectators had not long to wait,'as the bills from the House were beim,( read rapidly, and with them time did by swiftly. At 11 :58 a suggestion was made that the presiding officer~ turn his attention awvay for a nmomnent, and this beinmg gracefully accomnpli shed the door-keeper turned thte' clock back to five nmnutes to twelve. 'This drew applause front the galleries. As the time piece ran up to that hour the gavel of the presiding officer fell, and the Fortyv-fifth Conugress was "'mnber ed with thme things that were.'' As previously stated, an extra ses sion has beent called fo)r the 18th inst., ostensibly to providie fo)r thue armty; and it is a curious coincidence that the Democrats will come inito possession of the Senate with thme samte majority ther had when they last controlled it, eighteen years ago. Thte following is an estimate of tihe new Con gress: Senate-Democr~ats 42, Riepulicans 82, Independents 1, vacancy 1. House -emocrats 138, Republ icins 128, Na tionals 22, vacancies 6. This is the calculation muade by the Nationals. The Democrats claim, huowever, one hunudred and forty-six, exclusive of Independents and vacancies. As fourm of' the vacanucies inm the House are from California, whtich is alnmost sute to go Democratic in conseqjuentce of the President's veto of the antti-Chintese bill, thte Democrats wuill be almost sure to control thme new House, as they also have unudisputed control of the Senate This extra session is the seventh in the history of thte coumitry, twvo having been ca lied by Mr. Hayes. Owving to the shaortntess of the vacation, most of the members re-elected to thme itew Congress remain ini the city. The Potter Coinmittee sentt in their report before thme a(giournment. Theo majority rep)ort, signed by several members, covers eighty-five pages of closely printed matter. Their charges of forgery of the Florida and Lou isi anta certificates in the last Presidential election anro supported by such a mass of evidence as cannot be successfully confuted. Thuis is supplemented by a separate pap)er, sIgned by Genm. B. F. IButler', and agreeinhg it the main wvith 'the majority. Thte mhluority report of three members maintains that the ee tion was fair; refers at length to the cipher despatheos, and condenmns thie mannter in which the investigation was conducted, &c. As this is Lent visiting' in fashiona ble circles is on tIe declne; still there are oteaa1oned receptions. In a recent one at the house of Senator Blaine, Senator G3orden, the most battle scarred of all the erbOonfederates, led Mrs. Blainme to the aper room. It is only in public that ins is sAid to eat his Confederate brigadlers. In private life lhe Is cordial and hospita The lates6' case of bulldozing that bas come to tile surface occurred in this city. IL anneara that:' ndiviual,ns bearing the oughoniolls pitronymle of "Soaper" had been 'aying attention to a young lady for some time. Dur ing an evening call recently, the father and brother of the latter came into the parlor, and informed Soaper that a license had been obtainled andt a minis ter sent for, and he must marry then and there. This lie declined to do, but tie others leveling revolvers oin him, told himl) to choose between marria"re or having his brains adorn the will's. Under the demoralizing influences of cold steel, charged wit L powder and lead, and blood-curdling oaths, Soaper began to waver; he pleaded that he did not desire to marry the young lady, and that he was a minor, being only nineteen years of age, and besides adducing other equally forcible rea sons. But the others were resolved to see Soaper spliced in spite of himself. At last. he reluctantly gave his consent, and, the minister having arrived, the knot was tied according to law. The Unappreciative Soaper, however, as sion as an opportunity otlired to get t'romun nder the influence of the bulldozers, slid, and measured real estate like a anan crazy in the legs. A few days later, he sought. it judicial hand to untie the knot. The Judge, taking pity on the Soaper who wanted no helpmeet, granted i divorce. Since this occurrence the membership of the "Bachelors' Protective Union" his increased at a tremendous rate, and the fair sex are warned that if to all their other irresistible influences they add the additional one of paternal bulldozing, a similar organization will spring up in every village of the country. Moreover, the case clearly indicates that there should be an amendment to the constitution, so that hereafter no bachelor may be taken and feloniously spliced in violation of his rights as a free American citizen. l[ence, Mr. Hayes, appreciating the gravity of the situation, has called an extra session. In addition to this out rage comes the following particulars of another, taken from the Cincinnati Enquircr: A jolly drummer, seeing a hand protruding from a car window, and being bent upon fun, grasped it warnlv with the remarks: "Good bye, old boy, good-bye; can't be with you always, you know; ;.ive my love to the folks, and don't fail to call and see us when you come to town." Here the facetious drummer was knocked clear across the bar by a stahwart blow from the disengaged hand of the occu liant of the berth. After picking him self up and pulling his nose around to its proper place, he offered to bet a week's salary that. the fellow in the berth was a prize fighter. This excit ed some curiosity, and the berth was closely whtched. Susan B. Anthony turned out of it in the morning. Rumor says ex-Senator Patterson has decided it) go to Arizona and "gr'ow up" with the country ; but a prominent city daily hints that it is rather to outlive the statute of limita tions. PAI.MTirrO.
