Justin NVCarthv. W ASH ISGTON LETTER. From our Rt-vul.ir Correspondent. Washington, IVb. 10, ISSS. Uoth houses of i-onjji'erf have tlidtingiiittliL'J tlu-inst-lves this wt-ek, though iu different ami very unus ual warn. The proverbially noisy, arbuleut house of representatives Las been remarkable for its Kilence, ami the slow-moving senate gave it self uurenerveUy to wonl. or rather to Hjffh ltiakin'. lleyond tetiling the Lowiy-White , election contest in iavor oi uie re , j.- f it i publican. Air. lute, mere is nine 2. to report from llio lioiisc, except nn account of its iluilv routine business. The senate, on tlie otlier baiul, hits hail great Kpeeclie.- until it wa liml een of eloquenfe. Senator lMatl, of Connecticut,leliv?rcl a two Jay's address on tho subject of llie tariff. in which he criticised the president a message, charging that while. Mr. Cleveland was a fr;e trader, that he tried to evade I ho issue, and that the recent speeches of Mr Iveuua, of West Virginia, and Morgan, of Al abama, showed tliem to be protec tionists for their own states. The coining tariff fijjht i Rome distance ff yet, probably not more than a fortnight, but it is impossible to say just when the bill will be com pleted. Mr. S. S. Cox, of New York, in referring to the fact that U10 house had been passing a num ber of minor bills in a quiet way during the past few weeks, said: 'We are clearing the decks for the tariff fight," and he is in a position to knowr the stage reached in the preparation of the measure. Mr. Carlisle is in tho speaker's chair acnin. looking no worse for his recent illness, lie made his np pearance for the first time on Tues day, when the blind chaplain of the house took occasion to render a little thanksgiving for the speaker's recovery. Senator Riddleberger continues to talk, about the JJiitish treaty in open session, and to offend some of the other senators, but particularly Mr. Edmunds by hia persistent attacks upon executive business and secret sessions. If the Virginia senator's own statement is to be believed, it is a pity for him to champion so good a cause as the abolishment of the "star chamber." lie has com plained that no motion he has ever made was adopted; no bill l.e lias introduced has ever passed; that he is made the victim of the rules of the senate; and no matter who is in the chair, he is always declared out of order. He once naid the surest way to get a bill passed was for him to oppose it, and the roost certain way to defeat one was for him to give it a demonstration of support. It seems that many people throughout the country have gotten Senator 1 1 oar 'a joint resolution con founded completely with a joint res olution presented to the house by Representative Crain, of Texas which has been favorably reported from committee. Mr. Hoar's amendment looks to the change of "inauguration day" from the 4tU of March to the last TueaJay in April. Mr. Crain'g resolution proposes to substitute the 31st of December for the 4th of March aa the commence ment and termination of tho official term of members of tho house. It is designed to do away with the election of members between ses sions, so that those who are chosen in November shall take their Meats on the first Monday in January im mediately following, instead of the firrt Monday of December of the. next year. There ia nothing in Mr. Hoar's resolution, which passed the senate by an unanimous vote, rela tive to the meeting of congress or the election of members. The question now is, how to har monize these two amendments an as to enable an early ratification Ly the fctate legislatures which are now in session, or which are to convene the coming fall and winter. Another feature of the Grain amendment is that the speaker can be appointed within ten days afler his predecessor's term expires; con grass will be at work withiu sixty days after the election, and the short session will bo done away wilh, by a fixed constitutional ter mination. Mr. Hoar's amend ment simply extends tho short session two months, and changes the day for the inauguration. lioth positions are popular. A Great Writer Dies. Toi.kdo, Feb. 13. D. 11.

Mate Agricultural College. . Governor Pennoyer has directed a letter to Secretary of the Treasury Fairchilds, designating tho board of regent of tho agricultural college of the st ite nf Oregon as the proper party t w hom shall bo paid the grant of money made by congress in what ia known ai tho "Hatch bill;' which i an act p:tacd at the last session providing for tho e-Kbluh-ment of agricultural experimental sUtjuu in cutiiirctjon ith the i-rl-cultural colleges of the several statu, mid tho payment of the sum of 115,000 per annum to each state therefor. Fnder the law $7,500 of this fund was available the first of last January, to each of tho states, but owing to the non-acceptance of the new collego building as yetj it is feared that only $3000 of this will become nvailablo to Oregon for the present year. The Btate board, of regents of this college coosists of the state board of education, the master of tho state Grange, and nino others appointed by Governor Moody, This board will not enter actually upon the discharge of its functions as malingers of tho state agricultural college until tho new college build ing at Corvallis, in course of erection for the past year or more, is com pleted and turned over to them, which will probably not be until April. Then tho appropriations of the legislature from interest on tho agricultural collego fund will lo tn ado to the now board, and tho dead agricultural collego of the M. E. church south, which has kicked up such a fuss in trying to resurrect itself, will again become defunct, from want of nourishment. .

Tho governor is said to have promptly replied: "flentlemen, if you pass tho bill I shall certainly approve it." This is the situation as regard's Governor Semple in a out shell. Tho majority of the members of tho legislature who voted for it expected ho would veto it but his answer wan at in tho above instance. Therefore place the responsibility where it belongs to the legislature, H wedelicftJlo
