ad EVENING STAR. Largest Circulation in the District HINGTON OITY pees . DECEMBER 7, 1968, | | SPREADING MATTER ON BVEBY PAGE. | BEB OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TELE- GRAPHIO AND OTHER MATTER. THE MEETING OF CONGRESS. | To-day the third session of the Fortieth Con- gress is entered upon. It is not probable that | any of the heavy business of the session will be entered upon before the holidays, but a good deal of preliminary work will be blocked out. Undoubtedly the financial question will b= tue | main feature of the -winter session. It is one | that the country is impatient to have settled, | and now that the Presidential election is over neither party has any thing to gain or lose by | xs adjustment. Senator Morton's plan tor the resumption of specie payments fixing times for payment of given sums running tnrough a series of years seems to meet with considerable | tavor. Another measure advocated, is the le- galizing gold contracts, enabling bustoess men to contract specifically for payments in guid, ‘by Which it is held specie will be brought into circulation. Auxiliary measures are proposed 4p the shape of redu ction of expenses, revision of taxation and honest collection of the reve- ues. Ifthe wisdom of Uongress can devise some mode of reachiag the last mentioned re- orm they cau resume specie payments any aay. The question of making manhood suffrage universal will of course be pressed this session, bat it seems likely to meet with consid-rabie opposition, either if proposed to be carried by Sctof Congress or by Constitutional amend- ment. Some leading Republicans hold that the Republican Legislatures of Staves where the people have voted against negro suffrage cannot properly override the popular vote by Jegislati ve enactment carrying 8 Constitutional amendment. In some shape, however, it is Probable that a measure submitting the ques- tiom of manhood suffrage to the States will be passed at this session. The question of repeal- ing the Tenare-of-Uffice Act will also come up, ‘and there is no doubt that it will either be for- mally taken from the statute-books or that it ‘Will be virmally repealed by some such legis- Istion as the passage of Mr. Jenckes’ Civil Service Biil,and Senator Patterson's Diplo- matic Service Bill. Une of the advantages of an agricultural over ® mechanical, or indeed over almost any other pursuit, is to ke seen very plainly inthe fact that when butter was ten cents a pound a Pound of it would buy a yard of good cotton cloth of 8 pound of good own sugar, or per- aps # little more. At the prices it brings in these dys, a pound of it will buy three yards of cotton oF four pounds of sugar in almost any market. The same of most other articles ot prime necessity. While the prices of al- most every thing bave increased very greatly, in nothing has the advance been so large as in iarm products. Consequently.farming ts more Profitxble now than it ever was, and more profitable, all things considered, than almost Any other occupgt Yet, im spite of these facts, and with millions of acres of land to be had for the asking, we see thousands of able-bodied men flocking to or staying in the lorge cities, to struggle with ach other for enough labor to procure the bare necessities of Hite, or to become, ir too many instances, criminals or objects of charity from ‘want of werk. Im this tendency lies one of the gr evi ch threaten the country; And uot! it is checked we shall have hard times and high prices. Increased production ‘Will mot only che.pen the cost of living bat Teduce taxes as weil, and persons who can in AY Way promote this are public benefactors, forecast Sci | Tee TxNURE-oF-Orric Act.—Senator | ‘Trumbull is reported to have said recently, in answer to the imquiry whether the Teaure-of- Office Act will be repealed this Session, that it might not be formally, but that it will be ren- dered inoperative and useless by the enactment of other laws affecting the eccupation of Gov- eTnment offices. The bill of Mr. Jenckes, of Rhode island, for instance, proposes the filling UP Of cifices by & system of competitive exami- ations, thus sweeping away almost all the Executive patronage at once. Some one else wil | have a proposition to restore the original free- | Bs Me dom of the Executive in the choice of Cabinet advisers, which 1s sare to be adopted, and thus ‘With the passage of Jenckes’ bill, which has a Jarge number of supporters, there will be very Little leit of the Tenure-of-Uffice Act. The friends of Mr. Jenckes’ Civil Service measure have feared that it might fail through the indisposition ot Congressmen to give up their district patronage, but the fact that a pub. lic man so intelligent and well informed as ‘Mr. Trumbull things it will pass must serve to give them er uregement. National Tu@aTer—Burlesque acting, if Well doue, paruculariy where young and sprighly femaies, appropriately eostamed, tnke the leading parte, and the performances is sensoned with lively and pleasing music, will always be popular, in spite of preaching about the classic im art, the legitimatedrama, &c. The | Poblic have emough serious business outside | ihe play house, and whea they enter its doors wantto be amused. even if they are not in- structed. Hence it is that the performances o the Worrell Sisters, barlesques of burlesque, atiract goud houses. They gave the English Version cf “La Belle Helene” on Saturday night, im which they appear to better advan- tage than in the “Grand Duchess.” In the after- piece the clog dance ot Miss Jennie was loudly sppliauded. The same bill is repeated to-night- Some marked changes were visible in both bronches of Congress at the meeting to-day. In the Senate, the rolls now contain tne names of sixty-six members,—an increase of thir:een since the vote was taken on impeachment,— mmeluding Messrs. Hill and Miller, of Georgia: and Speucer and Warner, of Alabama In the House, death bas unseated four of the members eriginally elected to it, namely: Stevens, of Pevnsylvania; Finney, of Indiana; Mann, of Louisiana, and Hind, of Arkansas.

InpiamaPo.is, Inpiama, December 3, 1858.— Editor Star-—This city presents a scene of un~ | usual activity at this writing. The meeting of E Clem for murder, and the existing term of the United State to say nothing of other matters of less interest, affords every one in the community something to discuss. Besides, this fs the capital of the State of 1 ‘and here, of course, centres all or mach of the political wer which controls public matiers within its Eordera, ‘The College, assembled yesterday, in the apartments at the Capitol occupied by the Goveraor. The votes were counted, and the messengers provided fer were pointed. Here, teo, I may mention, Senator Hendricks Tesides, who, though doubtless dis- pointed in his aspirations for the position of Governor, and a return to the Gentes for six years from the 4th of March, 1568, appears on the street and in court in his accustomed health and blandness of manner. Representative Uo- burn resides bere, and 1s much respected in this commnnity. The Criminai Court, Hon. J. P. Chapman | Presiding, is engaged ia trying the case of Pars. cy Cl m, for the murder of Mr. and Mrs. Young, on the 12th of September last. Mrs. Clem is a very plessant-tooking woman, having uo appearance of guilt, aud yet the proot ‘is intensely close a8 to her guilty knowledge. Her huspand, with true flielity, sits at ber side, and conducts the case with as much zeal as if bis own life was involved. Two other parties are indicted for the same offense, and asall were respectable members of this community, the result of the trial is looked for with great anxiety. To facilitate the ends of justice. Jadge nar agen denied the right of the press to publish the evidence. Oae of the Papers of this city bas a full account of the proceedings in to-day’s issue, however, and the Judge has caused the arrest of the publishers fand reporters for contempt of the order, and imposed a fine of $25 and costs. The conduct of the judge is severely commented upon in all circles. In the U.S. Court to-day, the trial of John H. Loudon, charged with fraud on the Pension Office, is to be commenced. The U.S. Attorney, Hon. Altred Kilgour, As tant Attorney Bell. and James P. Tustin, of your city, will represent the Government, and the Hon. Joha Hanna defends the prisoner. Tnis is aa im- portant case. Judge McDonald presides, and Teflects credit on the judicial ermine by the dispatch and ability exhibited in the transac- ton of business brought before him. Axiccs. ‘Phe National Board of Trade in session at Cincinnati spent Saturday in debating the sub- ject of a resamption of specie payments. After the expression of a great vartety of divergent Views as to the best way of securing the desired consummation, the subject was referred to a committee. ‘The recent “Cattle Commission Convention” held at Chicago, have recommended a variety of measures to prevent the spread of diseases among cattle. They propose stringent laws to probibit the introduction of Texas cattle from March to November.
