W.*ain>«;T«»x, December H.
Tii«* Panama Canal snl«s< riptions
! promise to be very large in fcurojte,
cable advices to-day repoiting that a pre
mium of l\"» francs va.i bid for full allot
ments, the impression on the other side
being that the subscriptions are already
coming in, and there is every indication
that a large amount will be taken in the
United States. The canal, it is held,
will bear the same important relation to
American commerce that the Suez canal
does to that of Kurope, and it is calcula
ted that of the money to 1m expended
in its construction at least $50,000,000
will be spent in this country for urn
chineiy, for food for the army of labor
ers to be employe*!, and for other pur
poses.
t^uite a struggle is in progress for the
House 1'ostmastership. All the gentle
men interested in theetfort forthiahon
oraMe position are of excellent standing
t and gt neral popularity. Col. George C.
Wedderburn, of the Judge Now
land; Sain I'. Ivins, of Tennessee, and
Silas I'arr, of Missouri, are associate am
bitionists for the |>o*ition.
The New Funding ttchemrs
Mr Kernando Wood will soon try to
tike from the House calendar the bill
presented by him last session for re
funding the bonds which will mature
.Inly n»'xt. They amount approximate
ly t> $700,000.0urt. Mr. Wool's hill, in
ita original form, contemplated refund
| ing in three and a half per cent. bonds,
and his |>ersonal t>elief when it was of
[ ten d was that, while such a bond could
l»e placed, he was perhaps taking
a moro advanced position than
Congress would sustain. Indeed, he
now confesses to having bt*en often in
doubt about the inmibilitv of carrying
his plan successfully through Congress.
The pa-t year has not only removed all
such doubts from his mind, but he re
turns convinced that a three per cent,
bond would float. He aavs it is time
the Government ceased to humiliate
itself by catering to the exactions of len
ders, and that it should declare decisive
ly its borrowing term*, irrespective of
everything except its own interest. Th»*
Government's bonds, he thinks, would
be takeu at a!most any rate of interest,
because the Government has always
been very punctilious in meeting its ob
ligations and has the confidence of in
vestors, so he will advocate a three per
cent. Lon.I, and, as he says, with much
more confidence than lie advocated last
vear one for three and a half p««r c«»:it.

CONGRESSIONAL MA.TTEHS.
The Electoral Couut - Tariff loler
Oceanlc Canal
l>bpeU li to lht» RegiMor.
W \shinotox, IKvember 8.
Congress is now readv ior work, but
the amount of g.is that has »**en explod
ml in the House over the electoral count
hill indicates a disposition on the part
of the Radical* to engs>,'J in political
questions that, it persisted in. will le
tard and probably prevent action upon
some more important measure-*. Tnis
joiut resolution to provide for counting
the electoral vote was drawn by Senator
Morgan and passed hy the Senate last
spring. I j»ofi reaching the House it
was called up on June 14th, in the last
week of the session, and was made a
special order for Monday last. The un*
deriving principle of the resolution is
that both ho 11*4 must reject returns l»e
fore they can be thrown out.
A Movement for Tariff Hefbrtn.
The long set of resolutions offered l»y
Hurd, of Ohio, defining the principles
upon which Congress should rvgulat*
the tariff, excites considerable comment
here. The resolutions advocate a tariff
for revenue only, and av***rt that in order
that it may Ik* attained the following
changes should be ma'le:
»*Kiret—Gn all dutiablo articles pro
ducing little or no revenue to the Gov
erniuent, duty slioold be reduced to a
revenue basis, or t'ley should In* admit
ted free.
"Second—The duty on tea and coffee
should be restored, an I to the extent of
such revenue the duty should be re
Move I oa salt. clothing and "articles in
disoensihle to domestic life."
Mr. 11tir«l w.uat lirst inclined to ask
retereuce for the resolutions tothe Com
mittee of the Whole, hut he was dis
suaded, and consented that it should lie
sent t«» the Ways and Means t'jinmit
Ue. Mr. Hurd" alter*ards said that he
had well consid* ivd what iie _was doing,
and that he had finally decided upon
offering the resolutions after consulta
tion with and npo.» the approval of
about fifty of the most prominent rev
enue reformers am! anti-taritl advocates
of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois an I Michigan
H<* intends at the first opportunity to
call his resolution up ill the House, and
to force the meml»ers to a r«
' cord on the proposition a tariff
for revenue only. Mr. Hurd has
uncommon skill in 'pushing anything lie
undertakes, and he announces himself
thoroughly iu earnest in this matter.
One of his purposes in forcing a vote is
not only to place the democrats on rec
ord on thus subject but the Republicans
as well, and the importanco and signifi
cance of so doing may bo
readily inferred from the prominence
that commerce, business and the gener
al relations of capital to labor have late
ly taken in politics! affairs. Mr. Hurd
thinks he looks far enough ahead to
contemplate parties whose important
division shall tie upon the subject of the
tariff, *nd he thinks this time oppor
tune for the first practical expression of
opinion in that regard. Speaking to
day of his 1411 introduced last ses
sion with rrference to the shipment of
goods between points in this country
over a part of Canada, he expressed
his confident hope that the bill would
soon be. taken up and passed.
The Captaiuoy-General for Oraat
The President's recomiueudatiou of a
bill making General Grant Captain-Gen
eral of the army waa wholly unexpected
j and baa been productive uf endlees ard
ireueral comment here. It is rejwrted
' to-night that audi a bill will shortly be
; offered, and the predictions are almost
unanimous that it will pass without ma
terial opposition. A majority of the
I Republicans would receive it gladly as a
means of getting lirant ont of the way
politically, and would lend it support
on that account. The rest of the lie
publicans and probably many Demo
crats would be inclined to support it. so
I it ia said, on it* merits.
The Hope* of the Sugar Men.
The sugar men have their representa
i fives here an 1, as usual, they are hope
ful of earlv action hy the H-->ug<* in the
j direction of their wishes. To-night one
of them said he ha'l assurances that
next week -the Tucker bill would b«
taken from the < alendar, and that then
I either Mr. Carlisle or M r. McLane would
I move the substitution of the Carlisle
bill and press the matter to a vote.
America's Inter Ooeantc Canal Company
Congress will be asked w ithin a few
davs to incorporate an inter-oceanic ca
nal company. This company proposes
to construct a canal via the S'icarsguan
route. The act of incorporation is now
ready. The list of incorporators embra
ces many of the most wealthy and
prominent gentlemen in the ('nited
States. The Del/"sseps scheme will not
in the least interfere with the American
project. It is stated that all the money
necessary for the work has been as
■sured.

Mr. F. Wood said that at the last ses
sion iie gave notice that he would this
day cail tin the funding bill for considet
stion. but as the gentlemen were desir
ous of finishing the debate on the ques
tion which had l»een under discussion
yesterday, he would omit calling it up
until the electoral resolution had been
disposed of.
Mr. Conger requested Mr. Wool to
repeat his statement.
In reply. Mr. Wood said that he pro
posed that the House should do its
work and exclude from its deliberations
everytbimi of a partisan or useless char
acter. It was his intention to call the

i electoral resolution had been disposed

Mr. Wood—I propseto call it up as

Mr. Wood—I am not obliged to an
swer that question, and I move to dis

Mr. lJuckner, Chairman of the Com

lowing as a substitute for the funding
bill, and it was referred to the Commit
tee on Ways and Means:
V, it enacttti,etc. First—That in lieu of

hereby authorized to issue the treasury

of not more than ft'>00,000.000 in denom
inations of not leFH than 310, and bear

The House resumed the consideration
of the Senate concurrent resolution rel
ative to the electoral count.
Mr. Wil'iits was the first sptaker. lie
argued in opposition t » the theory th: t
the light to count the electoral vote was
vested in Congress.
Mr. Kobewcn said the present resolu
tion involved the question whether the
election of a IVesident should be male
by electors appointed by the States, or
whether it should be practically left to
an irresponsible Speaker.
.Mr. » unitr—\/r i:ic ^ iit i resiuriiu
Mr. Hobeson replied that tl.e gentle
man assumed too much. II-* assufed
the gentleman tliat until lie laid down
Ins propositi" ns the gentloaian conlil
not guess what they were.
The present resolution declared that
Congress had the right to decide judi
cially on the quality, character and
e fleet of the electoral votes. Congress
had the power to do nothing except
what the Constitution gave it power to
do. Ami what was that? A legisla
tive power. It was legislative, or it
was a legislature rrganir.td to
make law s, not a court organ i/. *d to pro
nounce on the operation of the laws.
11 is objection to the present resolution
wh* that Congress had no power to act
judicially upon, to reject, or to receive
thn vote'of any State. It was a violent
assumption that th?ra reside 1 in Con
gress uuder the Consiitution, (which,
loudlv omitted to say that Congress
should have p >wer to count the. votosi
any latent power in a convention which
excluded even the inherent legislative
power of Congies*. lie did not con
tend that the Vice President, in tie dis
charge o! his ministerial I unction of
opening all the certificates, had any
power to act judicially. He limited the
power of the Vice President by the
written words of the constitution itself,
just as he limited the power of Con
gress. Kvery at foment in favor of the
right of Congress to cju.it the votes
was equally strong in favor of
the right of the Vice President |
Mr. llunton said that ii he under* i
! stood the proposition of the gentleman ,
from New Jersey, he held that neither 1
the two Houses of Congress uor Ihe
Vice President had any power over the j
subject of the electoral vote, except
nu rely to enumerate, add- as.d declare I
the result. He wished to a^k the gen- |
tleniiin to state how lie would meet a j
I diiticulty of thi* sort. Sup|M>se that the |
cominitiie of the 1! >use should report !
that the electoral ct rtitieat\» of
any State was a forced certifi- I
cafe. In that event who would
have power to pass on the question of
forgery? t I
Mr. Kolwson declared it to bo his |
opinion that the Vic* President, neither
hy reo ou of any authority inherent in |
his < flice nor given by the Cons'itntien,
had the right t » prononn< ejmlicisliy on |
the question of tin validity or invalidi
ty of any vote. He also declared that
the two Houses of ('ingress, in c«men- '
lion assembled, bad no risrht to decide |
at a!i, either judicially <>r othei wise. He
was willing to consider and discuss the i
question whether or not tin re
did net reside in Congress
the power to provide by
I law In-forehand by a Ifk! slative en.vt
] meni| fcr a trihuiis', whici should set
! tie such questions; but the gentle
man must understand that there is a
limit to that power. A legislature made
laws for future operations; the courts
and judi- ial authorities construed them
after they were niade. If such a con
tingency shoald arise a* the gentleman
from Virginia sujrgested, it was ids duty
to carefully consider and t > p« rmanent v
determine and tix upon a tribunal,which
should meet thecontingency, which was
the perilous edge of doubt on which
I the destinyoi the country rested.
I Mr. Hunton said it was apparent that
I n> law could b passed by the two
I Ho^c^iit t::3f to meet the count o(the
electoral vota in February without a
joint rule on the subject. It the con
tingency he had alluded to should arise,
was the forced certificate to be counted
or was it to be rejected ? Should the
counting power blindly count the forged
ce tificate, and impose on the country a
President which would not be elected
without that certificate? The point be
wished to make wag, whether the power
to count did not carry with it the power
to determine what waa to be counted,
Suppoge the gentleman from New Jer
8 y waa sent to connt a flock of sheep,
and njtue goats got mixed up with it;
would ho count the goats?
Mr. Robeson shook his head.
Mr. Iiuntoa ttaid that then the gen
tleman conld not undertake, if he were
j President of the Senate, to count a
! forged certificate any more than he
could count ts>ata, and that therefore he
must act judicially to a certain extent.
Mr. Cox, of New York, thought he
could put the matter in a nut-shell.
Suppose the certificates of the State of
New York at some time between the
time they left Albany and the time they
were openedfby the President, should
| bp secretly ^opened and the names of
Garfield and Wrthur stricken out and the
' names of Hapcock anu English should
| be inserted, frould the President of the
Senate or th* two houses be powerless
to prevent the fraud, and would it be
necessary to count the State for Han
cock und Kogli^h, and what body or
power, if auy, must determine the ques
tion of forgery?
Mr. Robeson, in reply to Mr. Huntor,
denied that Congress had the power to
count the roles. If that power resided
in either th® Vice President or in the
two houses, it resided in the Vice Pres
ident, Wauso ho was required to o]>en
the certificates. He did not say that
the Vice President had that nowei; but
he did say that the Constitution and
lans of the I'nited States had provided
what should be tbo authentication of
the certificates. If they were in com
pliance with the authentication pre
scribed bv law then it was the duty of
the Vice President to open them. 11
they were not so authenticated then
they were gnats and not sheep. But if
they were clothed with thp wool of State
power they were sheep and not goats
When a ministerial duty was ini
pjsed on any officer he must net
ministerially, to be decided judicially af
terwards it it was subject to judicial
proceedings, and by that tribunal which
Congress, acting in its legislative power
under its right to put in motion all the
functions of the constitution, had t e
right t«* provide beforehand in the ab
sence ot any such tribunal. When
there was a failure on the part of Cor
grcss to prescribe that tribunal the min
isterial right and power must stand as
the whole exercise of the power. He
appealed for the strength of his proposi
tion to no less an authority than Chan
c llor Kent.
li.Mr. McLane reminded Mr. Robeson
that he had not really answered Mr.
IIHilton's question, ami he (McLane)
restated them with variations.
Mr. Robeson repeated his denial that
Congress had any judicial power, be
cause the Constitution expressly pro
vided|that the judicial power should re
side in the Supreme Court and in
inferior tribunals to be fixed by law. In
the face of that Constitutional provision,
who, he asked, could darn to sav that a
convention which was clothed with no
porter except to be present when the
ministerial otlicer performed his func
tions, could exercise judicial powers
on the most vital question in the life of
the Government.
.Mr. McLane contended that as the
Constitution authorized the two Houses
to participate in the counting of the
electoral vote and as such counting in
vdved the exercise of judicial power,
therefore the two Houses did possets
judicial power.
.Mr. Kobeaon said he hn<l endeavored
in his poor way to answer fully ami fair
ly every «| nest ion put to him, list because
lie believed that he had the strength to
stand alone against the united loree of
those who attacked his position, but be
cause he remembered that "thrice is lie
armed who hath his quarrel just." lie
(hen went 04 to answer tho question
put by Mr. Cox, as to the case oi falsifi
cation of the certificate on it-* way from
Albany to Washington, liis answer
was that such a case bad been provided
against by every means which prejudg
ment an<l precaution of men could take,
by the requirement of triplicate lists to
be sent by dilfercnt means, each of
w hich lists corrected the other and in
formed the ministerial judgment of the
Vice President.
Mr, Cox—Suppose that all the lists
wi r? tampered w ith.
liobeson—Suppose that the skies
should fall, then wo could catch lark*.
Mr. I>avis, of North Carolina, put tbe
case oi the Louisiana certificates of 1 S7*»,
to which the names of three electors
were forged, add asked what was to be
done if alter the opening of the certifi
cates one or more members, who were
cognizant of the forgery, arose and an
nounced the fact.
Mr. Kubeson replied that the proper
course would be for such persons to go
in advance before the tribunal and tes
tify to the forgery. He added that, cer
tainly, witnesses would not be author
i/.ed to decide the matter f >r themselves
by the exercise of judicial power.
.Mr. l>avis pressed the point that, ac
cording to Mr. Holieson's position, the
Vice President would count the forged
returns, and the two Houses would have
to witness that wrong.
Mr. ltohesop anain restated his posi
tion and apologized to the House for
having consumed so much time. In
com hision, he gave notice that he would
offer the following r.s a substitute for
theconcurr. nt resolution;
A7ir/'i •/,*Thnt tiie two houses will as
semble in the chandler of
the House of Iiopresentatives on the
second Wednesday of February, 1KS1,
at 12o'clock; that the President of the

that two persons shall be appointed tel

who shall announce the state oi the
vol.1 or the persons elected In-fore the
two Houses, assembled as aforesaid,
w hich announcement, together with the
list of votes, shall be entered on the

Mr. Peagan gave notice that as soon
as the pending matter was disposed of
he w ould Sfk for the consideration of the
inter Stale commerce bill.
