signified their intention of closing
up on that day. This warrants us
in saying that all business will
close and the day be more

which every one agreed to close
up makes prouder than ever of

After a diligent investigation

in so far as they relate to
transfer of Secretary Lamar to the
Supreme Bench soon after the

it is mere conjecture on my part,
but I will venture this opinion in
regard to the probable vacancy
that the new Secretary of the In-

or Gen. John C.

investigation. Mr.

there were many individuals and
newspapers who still clamored for
an extra session of Congress, on ac-
count of an alleged crisis in the
country's finances, but the fiscal
expedients resorted to by the
Government to avert a possible
panic were so effective in expand-
circulating medium, that,
as if by magic, all fears have been
calmed and general confidence re-
stored in the great business world.
According to a Treasury state-
during the month of October
there was a net increase of

heading the movement to change
the time of electing Congressmen,
and also the date for the meeting
of Congress, and it is hoped that
he will be successful in both. The
House of Representatives is the
popular branch of oar Government,
and was designed to be a reflex of
the wishes of their constituencies ;
under the present system,
when a Representative does not
assume the functions of his office
until thirteen months after elected,
the member loses, or is likely to
lose, much of bis truly
character. The House of
Representatives would not thus
belie its name, if chosen in No-

lowing January. Then, too, the
holiday recess which now so soon
follows the meeting of Congress,
would be avoided. After all

as a relief from his sufferings. His re-

there was universal complaint
that the farmers were not making
any money. It was insisted and
admitted on all hands that the
crop was always exhausted in pay-
