ERY MAIL the Representatives Is Tk of the House of m coming from the south, ceived eleet- the certitic: ft ed in the Octeder co! SENATOR CONKL PosITION.—Friends of Senator Conkling deny th calling upon President Hayes with reference to the latter’s southern policy. They say that in SO far as the result cf that policy bas failed to bring about in the south a reign of peace and quiet, the Senator bi President, that the south has not returned in kind, the gener treatment it has received. The Senator is said to hold that, so far as the seuthern policy of the President 1s concerned, he can not now undo what he has done, ir he even so desires; that his southern policy ex- hausted itself, so far as it could be called a policy, when the President gave South Carolina and Louisiana the benefit of home rute, but thatthe President ts now beginning to realize what leaders In the party from the Very begin- nibg apprehended that the south in consideration of the boon of home rute will not administer the the 14th and isth amendments to to the consti- tution in the spirit in which the framers of those articles tatended they shoud be admints- tered; that all the harm that the republican party sustained in its divisions over the wisdom of the President’s policy has been felt to the ut- termost, and that the Very fact that the Presi- dent ts not satisfied with the result of his dea! ing with the south fs the best evidence that the party can readily be re-united on the basis that the laws of the country must be enforced and the constitutional amendments which a) ply to the freedmen not only be accepted. but likewise honestly interpreted. PROSPECTIVE CONTE-TS OF HcUSE SEATs.—It does not look as if there will be many contest a seats In the 46th Congress. With the slim mu- jority which the democrats will have in that it is hardiy probable that they will be willing to unseat one of their number to make room for a republican, unless indeed the claim of the latter ts too palpable ‘The defeated demo- cratic candidate in Dr. Loring’s district. in Massachusetts threatens a contest, but on no. good ground. It is probable that whichever of the parties—democratic or repubitean—in the second Florida district gets the certificates that there will be a contest. It is claimed that al- though Bisbee, republican, received the most votes, Hull, the democrat, will be given the cer- tificate, and will thereby acquire prima facie right. In Pennsylvania there will be a contest by Gen. Albright, repens for the seat of Klotz, democrat, whots given the certificate by three juc of election, but from which act two dissent. It is quite likely there will be two con- tests in North Carolina. These are all that Joom up on the horizon at the present time, but the returns may not be allin yet. DISMISSALS AT THE PATENT OFFICE.—AS the expenditures for temporary clerical service in the Patent Office have reached the limit pre- seribed by law for the whole of the cur- Tent fiscal year, and as more than half of the entire contingent fund i eats ated for the year has been expended, it has been found impossible to retain longe: the clerks and laborers heretofore paid on the contingent rolls, except the per diem laborers. Sixty-six disel Were made to-day. As Uhis action Is taken in obedience to itive provisions of law, without any fault on the part of those discharged, it {s announced that until int heey by Congrere no i lonnesar lor reappointment or for new aj uments in the Patent bureau can be entertained. THE CASE OF GEORGE REYNOLDS, a Mormon, who was indicted and convicted in Utah in 1873 for contracting a polygamous marriage in violation of the laws of the United States, came up for argument yesterday in the U. S. Su- pretne Court. One of the errors asaigned inthe plea of Reynolds’ counsel is that polygamy fs enjoined as a religious duty by the sect to which he belongs, and that Coi 38 1s forbid- den by the Constitution “to make any law re- Specting an establishment of religion, or to prohibit the full exercise thereof.” Altorney General Devens contended against such an piel Lg ce of the oe which = Te Congress from attaching a crime because It was an aFuoicrot Fell. wine ait and inaeenced the Meadow massa- er i Mormon * Avenging Angels” as ap instance of faratic'sm under mmistagen convie- tions of religious duty, District Finances and the Unitea | hection with the letters heretofore ‘Tux Svar, explains itse'f R tion of official correspondence between u ring the certificates of nbers-elect to the 40v2 Con- nat he contemplates s implicity with the States Treasury. | TREASU) ER AND THE COMMISSIO: DISTRICT.
