COKORhJSS.

Tbe second session of the 44th Congress convened at noon Monday. The House was called to order by the Clerk. Samnel J. Randall was elected Speaker, in plsoe of M. C. Kerr, deceased. The credentials of Mr. Belford, from Colors, do,-were referred to tbe Committee on Judiciary, with instructions to inquire whether Colorado baa complied with thf condition* necessary to entitle her to id mission as a State in tbe Union. Objection was made to swearing in Bntts. of South Caroline, on the gronndahHt be had been counted in by tbe Canvassing Board. Tbe case was not disposed 'if. A resolution was adopted to send a committee of tfiteen to Louisiana, one of nine to South Carolina, and one of six to Florida, to investigate the action of 'be Returning Boards and the character of the recent elections. Tbe Speaker Appointed as tbe committee to visit South Carolina, Messrs. Sayler, Abbott, Stenger, Eden, Jones of Kentucky, Phillips of Missouri, Banks, Laphsm and Lawrence. After tbe appointment of tbe usual committees to wait on the President and the Senate, tbe House adjourned. Tbe Senate wsscalled toorder by the President pro tem. Tbe Repub lean caucus having taken no action with reference to tbe cboice of a Presi dent pro tem. that subject was not&n trodueed in the Senate. Tbe usual appointment of committees to wait on the President and the House was made. Mr. Edmunds introduced resolution to in quire whether tbe provisions of tbe Fourteenth amendment had been regarded in the late electiona in certain of

Southern 8tate. Ordered printed and to lie on tbe table. Mr. Ingalls introduced a resolution looking to the •ailing of a convention, to be held at Columbus, Ohio, beginning in May next revise tbe constitution of the United States. Ordered printed and to lie on '.he table.

On Tuesday, Mr. Morton Submitted a joint resolution for an amendment to he constitution providing for the eleotion of President and Vice President by be direct vote of the people. Mr. Spener introduced a bill to establish tbe territory of tbe Black Hills. Mr. Ednunds' resolution directing the Com nlttee on Privileges and Elections to nquire into the conduct of tbe iste 'lections in tbe Sooth was passed. The President's message was then read, and, tfter tbe usual resolutlena to print, tbe Senate adjourned. No business of lmfiortancs was transacted In the House.

On Wednesday, the only thing of interest was In the Senate. Mr. Edmonds meved to take op bis Joint resolution to amend the constitution by transferring to tbe Supreme Court the dot of oount ing and declaring tbe electoral vote for President and Vice President. Mr. Merrimsn raised a point of order involving the question as to the existence of tbe joint rules. Tbe President pro tem. held that the joint roles wen not In operation. Mr. Merrimon appealed to tbe Senate, and pending Rebate the Senate adjourned.

On Thursday, In the House, In aqueetlon arising out of a motion made by Mr. Monro*, the speaker mled that the joint rules of the two booses were still in opsration. Mr. McCrsary offered resolution for tbe appointment of a jx.int committe to report upon a plan tor counting tbe vote for President and Vice President, Referred

0te

the Judici

ary Committee with leave to report at any time. «. On Friday, In the Senate, a resolution directing the Committee on Privileg«s and elections to investigate tbe facts attending the appointment of E. A. Cronin a» Presidential Elector by tbe Governor of Oregon, was referred to that committee without debate. On motion of Mr. Hogan tbe bill Intro duoed by him last session to provide for the issue of silver o»in and to make the stiver dollar a legal t- nder, was taken from tbe table, referred to the committee on finance. After a long discussiw. over tbe motion to take op tbe joint resolution proprosing an amendment to the constitution as to tbe oount of the electoral vote by tbe Supreme Court, the Senate took up the resolution, but before proceeding with its consideration, adjourned till Monday. Nothing of importance was done in tbe House, wLieh also adjourned till Monday.

THE rRhXlDkM'O MESS A GB. Tbe eighth and last annual message of President Grant was laid before Congress on Tue-day and is no doubt by this time femiltar to mo*t readers oftbis psper. In some respects the message was no doubt a disappointment. It wss generally expected that It would discuss st length th* pollticsl situation and mqgpMt away out of tbe difficulty. Th* conspicuous abssace of any such suggestion recalls to mind tbs President's declaration eontaioed in his^first message, that be "would have no policy of his own to enforce in opposition to the inf o*nos them.

will of tit* people," He very wisely lsavts th* ssUlemrat at th* question of who shall be bis successor with sll the troublesome questions relating thereto, where it properly belongs, and docs not •vsn rsfertoit in any manner, exoept to call attention to the necessity of throw ing some greater safeguards over the method of choosing and declaring the election of a President In the future. «Vhat be saya upon this head Is worthy of all attention and should be familiar to every ait!sen. It is this: "Under the present system there seems to be no '•provided remedy for contesting the election in any one State. Tbe remedy "is partial'y, no doubt, enlightenmont "of tbe electors. Tbe ooinpulsory eup"port of free schools, and tbedisfran chisement of all who cannot read or "write the Eugllsh langusge, sfter fixed probation, would meet my hearty approval. I would not make thia ap« ply however, to those already voters, but I would to all becoming so. A fur "the expiration of the probstion fixeu upon, foreigners comiug to this coun try to become eitisens, who are educa ted in their own language, would ac "quire tbe requisite knowledge of ouru "during the necessary residence, toob "tain naturalization. If they did noi take enough interest in our language to acquire sufficient knowledge of It to "enable them to study the institutions and laws of tbe country intelligently, "I would not confer upon them tbe right to make and enact laws, nor to sit with those who do*"

Tbe message calls attention to tbt gratifying fact that in the last seven years tbe national expenses have been reduced nesrly three hundred million dollars, and the national debt, in tbe same time, over four hundred aud tbir ty-livt million dollars. The annual interest, by refunding bonds st a lower rate and by other means, has been reduoed thirty million dollars and the balance of trade nas been changed from one hundred and thirty million dollars against the United States in 1809, to more thsn one hundred and twenty million dollars in our favor in 1876 These are facts of which every American citizen may justly feel proud. As a lit erary effort the message doss not compare favorably with tbe last but it is plain, straightforward, like the man, and we doubt not will give satisfaction to people who love tbe oountry more than tbey do party.

8CHUR2T8 PLAN.

Hons. Carl Schurs and ex-Senator Hendenon, of Missouri, have written letter to the United States Senste reoom mending an amendment to th* Constitution authorising th* counting of tbe electoral vote by the Supreme Court They tak* th* ground that thia matter of counting tb* vot* should be removed ss far as possible from tbe disturbing influence of politics and confided to tribunal whose verdict will commaod universal confidence in timea of excited party feeling, and that naturally the Supreme Court is that tribunal. They think that by prompt action on th* part of Congress snd tbe Stat* Legislature* tb* desired amendment conld be accomplished before tbe time arrives for the oonnting of tbe votes on tbe second Wednesday in February neat. Tbe objection to the plan, which it ssems is not by any mean* a new suggestion, Is that it would at one* identify the Coort with politic*, and th* Judge* would finally be appointed as much by reason of their partisan seal ss for their judicial learning, and that it would b* placing too modi power in tb*ir hands, which might come to be used corruptly. It It very desirable tbat some provision should be made for suoh a contingency as now feces tbe oountry, but it would be a pity to act so nastily ss to mske tbe difficulty greater.

ON Tuesdsy Senator Morton again Introduced, in the Senate, his proposed amendment to the constitution for the election of President of tbe United States, which was reported favorably by tbe Committee on Privileges and Election of tbe last Congress. This amendment sbolishes the entire mscbinery of tbe electoral college, and provides tbat tbe President shall be elected direct by tbe people, in the following manner: Each State sbsll be divided into districts equsl in number to the number of Representatives to which the State may be entitled in Ceng re s, to be composed of ccntigious territory, snd to be as nearly equal in population as may be. The person having tbe highest number of votes in esch district for President sbsll receive the vote of tbst district, which shall count one presidential vote. Tbe person having the highest number of votes for President in the State sbsll receive two presidential votes from tbe State at large, and the person having the highest number of presld« ntlal votes in tbe United States sbsll be President These provisions spply also to tbe ele tion of Vice Pnwident. Onngrees Is given power to provide for holding snd conducting elections for President and to establish a tribunal for the decision of such elections ss may be contested.

RRDFIELD, the Commercial CORN** spondeut, is of tbe opinion tbat tbe uien whocompnoe tbe Louisiana Returning Board have been abuaed fully as much ss tbey deserve. He calls attention to th* feci that tbey are Republicans from principle. Tbey endanger their lives by counting in the Republican ticket, but are wit bout reward. On the other band the/ could get a hood red thousand dollars each to count In Tlldeoand that If they wsrv as Mack as tbey have b**n painted it is remarkable tbat neither DenmcratJc money nor tbe fear of tbe!rown live* should have ceenable to

TBRRB HAUTE SATURDAY EVENING MA Ik

THE BROOKL YN HORROR. A mos* awful calamity baa tak*n plac* in Brooklyn, N. Y. On Tuesday night the Brooklyn Theater took fir* on tbe stage while tbe last act of tbe Two Orphans was in progress. The fire originated in tb* fll*« which, blaalng, fell on top of tbe aoenery. An actress oama to the firuntof tbe atage and ssil: "A small aocid*Dt baa occurred, Lot don't be alarmed there is only apiece of fly on fire." On tbe mention of fire tbe sudience roee to their feet and made a wild rush for tbe doors. A panio of tbe worst character set in and acenes of tbe most horrible description followed. Men, women and children were borne down by tbe rush to (ret out and tram pled under foot. The places of exi^ were choked up and a scone of terror, oo fusion sod distress ensued, which no pen can describe. About three bun (Ired and fifty people are supposed to have perished In the flame* and all the bodies have not been extricated yet. All the actors save one escaped with their liven,a result which can only be attributed to their greater presence of mi ud.

THE electors of tbe several States met Wednesday and cast their votes for President and Vioe-President. Tbe votes oi twenty-one States, aggregating 185 elec toral votes, were given to Rutherford B. Hayes and William A. Wheeler. 184 vctes were cast forSamuel J. Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks. There is a con troversv in regard to tbe elect rs in the State of Oregon. The Governor refuses to give scertificate, to the three Republican electors, but has issued certificates to two Republicans snd one Democrat, tbe latter being in the pla~e of Watte, the postmsster. It is not believed that tbia wil make any serious trouble. Tbe aoti*n will probably prove to be illegal Tb* poople of Oregon gave the Repuh licau electors a clear major! of 1,125, and it is not likely tbat tbey will sub mit to beiug swindled out of one of them. It is pretty well settled that Rutherford B. Hayes will be tbe next President of tbe United States.

XBWSPAPKBS that have been stirring up strife durinu tbe past four weeks by printing inflammatory articles abould receive th contempt tbey deserve. The Tbe disingenious, pettifogging argument of the partisan newspaper is always dis gusting, but when characterless fellows —whom God permits for some wise parpose of bis own to edit a newspaper, ss Horace Greeley used to say—take it upon themaelvea to II* and lie and lie for the simple purpose of stirring up an imosities and widening the breach between the two sections in this country, tbey deserve to be stoned to death by their fellow idiota. In any other coun try than thia, paper* uttering auch in cendiary and utterly improper -senti meata would, In the interest* of public safety, be suppressed, and it would not, uy any means, be bad thing if a similar rule prevailed here.

IT ia said that an agsnt lor on* bun dred Chicago amiliea is ^roapecting loi a location in Floridk. A latg* No tbern emigration would be a good thing fci tb* Sooth. It might l*avMi th* whpl* lump, and If a lump ever n**d*d leav ening tbat lamp doea. Soothern people are inclined- to attribute all their. wo*e to Northern "carpet bagger*," as tbey are pleased to call tbeui, but as law. order and decency prevail In tbe North wber* Northern men of course dost abound, and do not prevail in tbe

South,

where Southern men abound, it woulo •eem tbat tbe not of tb* *ntir* trouble lies a great deal deeper down than car pet-baggers over get. It rests on tb» insolent and baseless pride which induces tjie Southern people to live on the psst, cherish bate, and refuse to accept the outoome of the war and become decent and law-abiding eitisens.

THE Chicago Times baa a plan. It is to do away with any fixed term of service for the President and make a con jtltntional provision that he shall be selected out of the House of Represents tivos by tbe Chief Justice, and then voted for by tbat body. He should re tain office as long ss he should haves majority of supporters in tbe House, snd when the opposition to him should become in tbe majority, he should immediately retire and anew election be held. It is more than possible tbst a number it valid objections might be round igainst this plan.

IJI a recent letter, M. D. Conway, Lon don correspondent of the Cincinnati Commercial, states ss a suggestive fa«-t that on tbe first news reoeived there ol Tild-n's election, American securities
