"M'c go rt'imbllng an i blundeiin? along," sai l John Ih ijput oDrt. '-It Is the price we pay for liberty.' On some accounts the present session of the House o.' Kepresentatives is one of the m <st notable evi r neld. Ii Is sal.i to bo ihr first since the ormation ? ' tlie government that never a ijourned rer Saturdays before the holid iys. Then, again, It has ?o h lpjtened, rrom various causes, that Its toll of ii: a!h-rs and delegates has n< ver been full until Tuesday last, when the successor of the late Mr. Orth an 1 the delegate from Utah were sworn In and tooi th; lr seats. Vet this state of comPi eteneaa was destined to be short lived. In less than tw-nty-four hours t!?^rea:ter the death of Mr. Shacked'ord, of North Carolina, was announced. t'.u, maklag another idatiis In the roll whl- h will probably not be flllei again during the pre; rnt Congress. Not w.ihln the memory of aaa has there been a House so long without a full roil call, nor one with a full roil call for so short a time. The leading ineM^nls in the Senatorial contests yesterday were, first, the re-election of Mr. Hoar, aad. aext, th * *nsational report that this victory had beeti w<>a by a trick such as gained the 'day or He-.-retjiry Folger (without his knowledge) at the New Yi.rk republican state convention,?a forged telegram, purporting to transfer a friendly rival's strength to his support. That Mr. Hoar would b- .? party to su -h a d *ed is too absurd for amomeiit's thought, and It Is equally certain that he woultl not tolerate or be the beneficiary of B'ich a fraud if practised in hl3 tv-htlf by supersemceable friends. An Investigation will be made of the matte'-, an 1 the parties most nearly concerncd will no doubt act as becomes them. Apart from this feature of yesterday's conflicts no very significant changes appear-d In the r. ces. Windom and F rrj seem to be losing and McPherson galnp * Ing. ? -*-?. The absence of talk regarding candidates was one of the striking features of the recent meeting here of the national republican committee. It was to he exprcteu that at such a gathering of politicians, on th. eve of a Presidential contest, the names an claim-, of prominent men In t;,e p^rty should have been quietly discussed. It was noticed, however, that the members had little or nothing to s -y on the subject. The convention will be hrId in a little more than a year, and It 1$ time for early "booms" to rppear. The N. Y. Sun has sound-d the toc inor alarm at Gen. Grant's designs for a third term, and here and there speculation crop* out respecting th Presidential hopes and chances of Arthur, Lincoln, Edmunds, BUlne. Logan an! other leaders of t- p ;rty. There are, laoreovcr, a few serlo-coi ilc nominations, as u>u.ii, be:jrc the real caiu'j;.i,'n opens. Aa ordinance hr>s been introduced in the New York city ecuncll which requires a diagram of all Its floors, lnclu ling rooms, hall-passages, stairways and i-x.t door-, to be placed in every room of ach of the 1 otels in th it city. Ii will undoubtedly pa&>, ;*s it ought to. Now, if another orll^ Banee w-r? Introduced and pa;?ed requiring tliat all hotels hertarter constructed in that city should have brick p .union walls und tire-proof stairways, the safety of the transient lodging public would be pretty well assured in that direction. And, by the way, these precautions should not be confined to N^w York. They ought to be adopted la every city in the United States. hTtoe lnt~r?rt.!ng new* comes from Japan that the government Is so well pleased with the experimental railroad const ru ted in the northern part of the empire on the American plan that it has been decided, hereafter, to construct the government railways ou this mxlal. Hitherto all the railways in J.ipan have been English In form. The cxpensa attenulag their construction and the flavor or u- honesty attached to them, have now, howev. r, b:oubht them Into disfavor. The new railroad v. -s built by Mr. Crawforl, who was iveottMcndcd to the Japanese, at their request, by \ the Pennsylvania railroad company.
