TIE Iarolftn Spartan had a *very sensible editorital last week which we have republished, advising our people, and espeelilly our youig men, to study political economy and tho theorr of government. Without loslair time from their regular vocations they may learn to reason intelligently, and know why they belong to their lrty. In this coneti"on it Is well to add that a Society for Poli4eil Educationl has been formed by such mnci as David A. Wells, Professor Suner, Horace White, Charles Francis Adams, with many other leading indeptident hink ers of both arties. This soulety pre scribeq a eaurso of reading for all who become netmtbers, b paying a tfo of ftifty Cents and pledging 01mtt.selves 14o readt 'ill th hioi)is prescribed.

The books for this year's course are four il -utnber, aid can bought, through the society for three dollars, die retail cost being con siderabIl more tha, that. Congress. Congress Is dobig nothing. The House io at -a deadlock on a rule for counting the electoral vote. It is a Senate resolution, and provides that, a vote shall be counted unless both houses agree to reject it. The old Re publican rule of 1872 provided that a vote should be rejected unless both houses agree to count it, and was manifestly Iniquitous. Although such men as Conkling and Morton in the past had taken stronggrounds in favor of the proposed rule, the Houpe Radi cals have resolved in caucus now to oppose It to the last extremity. Robe son, Grant's secretary of the navy, who squandered a hundred million dollars it is said fraudulently, is the head of the stalwarts and advances the proposiden abandoned in 1877, even by Republicans, that the President of the Senate alone has the power to count the votes, and that the two houses have only to sit down with their fingers in their months, and let him have his sweet way. As usual abont twenty Democrats are absent from their seats and a quorum cannot be secured when Republicans refuse to vote. As no one diputes the I.slt of the recent election it is easily seen that the Radleals are only contending fora peceentby which Mr. Chester TeLeg~islature.

The dueling bill was called up- in the Senate and recommitted, for the * purpose of ascertaining whether the oath required to be imposed upon officials be not unconstitutional. The inevitable debate over the salaries of officers anmd clerks took place in. the llouse on Fridayv. Mr. Murray, of Anderson, began by moving to reduce the salaries by from one hundred to two hundred dollars, so as to make theni conform to the salary bill of 1877.
