A QUESTION HAS ARISEN as to the authority Of the first controiler to direct settlement of ac- counts in the general land office the saine as in the offices of the first and fifth auditors, and the first controller has just rendered along opinion insisting upon the authority under sec- tion 271 Revised Statutes. ‘The first controller recived @ number of complaints about the non- setilement of accounts in the general land otfice, but the question arose in regard to the setticment of the accounts of Downey & Grant, deputy surveyors, The controller requested Commissioner Sparks to state the accounts, otherwise he would have to exercise his autuor: ily and make a peremptory demand for the settiement. Cominissivner Sparks replied at length, questioning the authority of the first controller to make any such demand.

Geo. E. Waring. jr.. the sanitary expert, which is now golug through the press, ana will be ready w be issued about September Ist. The subject- matter oi this volume is vonfined to the statis: tics of certain cities in the New England and middle states, and the second part, which is still to issue, Will be devoted to the cittes Iu the southern and western states. The method pursued is to give a historical sketeh of the iown, which is followed by u description of the climate, the drainage, the financial condition, the fire department, the gas supply, interments, manuiactures, markets, purks, reformatories and nealing instivutions, police, places of amuse- ment, population, public buildings, stree! water works, and, in fact, complete statistics the soctal 1if@ in the pluces deserived.

Turne> |'are expecting to THE CONGRESSIONAL CAMPAIGN. Local and General Issues. DEMOCRATS RELYING GPON THE POPULARITY OF THE EXECUTIVE To PULL THEM THROUGH. There will be various local issues to effect the elections in a number of congressional districts this fall, but the great ery of the democracy will Le “economy, honest government and re- form.” The congressional campaign committee appointed by the democrats early in the session has aot accomplished much as yet. It has not been able to get any money for campulga pur- Poses, and all its work has been to get up @ campaign book, the object of which is to show that the democratic administration of affairs has been economical and free from all forms of corruption, The committee draw nearly all their campaign material from the executive branch of the government. Very little was fure nished from the Capitol. They ean point to Practically nothing that the House has doue. Aside from the favorable impression Mr. Cleve- jand’s administration has made upon the coun. try, the democrats have little to make capital of In the campaign, except the attitude of the republicans in the’ Senate towards the land rant forfeitures, and provisions to prevent land frauds. The position of the Senate in these matters will be made the object of attack, and will, in a measure, divert attention trom the inaction of the House with relation to 1 portant measures. No new issues were de- veloped during the session of Congress. THE FEELING TOWARDS THE PRESIDENT. Towards the latter part of the session the feel- ing of the democrats for the President was very. much improved, but there are many members who will make an issue in opposition to his civil service reform policy, in order to secure the support of their democratic constituents. It is predicted by some of the wise men of the party that these members will be surprised when they get home. In some democratic dis- tricts, particularly in the south, opposition to the President is said to be very strong; but gén- erally itis believed that the reverse is the case; that with the people the sturdy, honest quali- ties of the President are popular. When the democrats attack, the republicans will defend the President in lls reform policy. In some of the congressional districts the democratic can didates will repudiate the President entirely. ‘This will be the case particularly where pen- sions and silver are supposed to be popular, but \Uis predicted that men who take this stand ind out their mistake before the campaign Owing to the late date of adjournment, 78 geireedly have had uo way to test he feeling of thei. rople. A prominent supporter of the admiviciration, speaking of this to STAR reporter, suid he ‘khew personally of sev- eral men who’ ad been opposing the adminis- tration who, alter a visit to their homes, were eutirely changed in theirsentiments, “In tact,” he said, “most of us tind that 11 we want to suc- ceed us'a pariy we have got to do so upon the good record made by the Executive. Foradem- Ocratto attack the administration is suicidal.” ‘THE PROTECTIONISTS ke gains in the next House. This they think will result both trom the dis- gust of the people at the repeated failures of the free traders and ‘rom conversions to the protec- tive doctrine. They say that the southern members who work with Mr. Morrison for a reduction of the revenue duties do not properly Tepresent the southern people, who are progres- sive, building up new enterprises, and naturally favorable to protection, REPUBLICAN HOPES IN VIRGINIA. Representative Brady claims that Virginia can be carried for the republicans on this issue, and says he expects a gain of two or three rep- resentatives in the next House. He says they have @ good chance of electing Yoste in the place of Tucker, Bowen in the place of Trigg, and another republican in Croston's distric In other localities in the south they expect to make gains on the issues of protection aud the exiension of our trade with the South American nations. Several of the influential southern papers favored the Pacific mail subsidy and sumiiar propositions, ‘The general republican ery for the campaign wiil be the incumpetency of the democratic House, protection, and the pension vetoes, Alabama Supports the Admipyistratio: REPRESENTATIVE HERBERT WELL SATISFIED WITH WHAT CONGRESS HAS DONE FoR THE NAVY AND WELL PLEASED WITH THE CONDI- TION OF HIS FENCES, Representative Herbert is very well satisfied with the work accomplished by his committee for the navy. There were several things more he wisied to have done, but there were so many bars and ghoals t» sail over that he feels like congratulating himself on what was actu- ally accomplished. He is quite proud of the ordnance work done atthe Washington navy yard, and the $150,000 for plant and the $1,060,000 for guus, uny necessary amount of Which ‘ean be expended for plant, he thinks, will make a zood start, His district is all solid for him now, and be says they are all still solid in Alabama, with the exception, possibly, of one district. He says he does not unnk ihe issues have Changed much since the last eam- puign. ‘The publie lands torteitures, the bill to prevent land frauds by repealing bad laws, the interstate commerce bill and the general manly attitude and hardy honesty of the President, he says, will give the democrats all the cain peign niaterial they need, Alabama, be says, Supports the adininistration, see. Social Affairs. The week at tne White House has passed without special incident, Many of the Con- gressmen and their wives paid farewell visits to the President and Mrs. Cleveland in the evenings, and the littie impromptu sotres thus brought about were greatly enjoyed by all concerned. Owing to the warm weather of Just week the Presidential drives were ex- tended into the coolneds of early evening, and dinner is now served at the White House at eight o'clock. en Mrs, Cleveland and Mrs, Folsom driv ¥ use the carriage, but when the Pres ient accompanies them’ the Victoria is brought around.
