In theso troublous times when Ciiblnct
olllcers, foreign mitiUtcr.4, members of tlio
President's household ntid high ollicltilu nro
tumbling from tbelr lofty positions j when
rottenness nnd corruption nro being brought
to light in every department of tho Govern
ment j when "crooked" whisky and
"crooked" ways is tho rulo rather than tho
exception, it is cheeilug to tho hearts of tho
despondent peoplo to find ono baud of pure
nnd noblo statesmen to whom tlio honor of
their country is dearer than aught else. So
sensitive nro these virtuous patriots that they
step outside of tho lino of legitimate duty
and investigate matters which under other
circumstances Would bo dismissed with con
tempt. Sir. Richard II. Dana Jr. of Massachusetts,
n scholar nnd a gentleman, thoroughly con
versant with international law and dip
lomatic usages, was nominated by tho Presi
dent as Minister to Kugiaud In placo of
Gen. Bchenck. Tho nomination was an
unexceptional ono and was probably made
by Grant to Btay tho storm of indignation
which swept over the land on tho exposure of
bckciick's Emma Mino transactions. But
Mr. Dana had tho audacity to run against
Benjamin l- Butler for Congress and the
Essex statesman lias "appeared before the
Foreign Relations Committee and strenuous
ly opposed the conilrmation of Mr. Dana
charging that Mr, Dana, In editing his
admirable edition of Wheaton's Elements
of International Law, used certain notes
made by a previous editor, Mr. William
lieach Lawrence. Tho matter is before a
Master in. Chancery for adjudication and
certainly has nothing to do with Mr. Dana's
qualifications for a foreign minister.
Aside from tho fact that Ben. Butler's op-
position to any ono ought to bo n reasonable
ground for such person's instant confirma
tlon, the Senate Committee actually neeks to
forestall tho decision of the Master in Chan
cery and On ex parte testimony and the
testimony of Butler at that and refuses to
confirm tho nomination.
A glanco at tho names of the Foreign Re
lations CommiUec, however, explains the
matter. Cameron, tho virtuous, incorrupti
ble, Bible-quoting veteran is Chairman; then
follows Morton, the waver of tho bloody
shirt and friend of Pinchbeck ; Hamlin, the
fosailifcrous relic from Maiuo; Timothy
Howe and Frelinghuysen whoso obedience
to party dictation is proverbial ; and
tho conceited Conkling from New York.
Could such high-toned, sensitive-souled
men as these voto for a person who
had stolen a footnoto to n law book ? Per
ish tho thought I They could support
Pinchbeck, vote for Billings, make Williams
n judge and Cramer a foreign minister but
they could never, never, never, lower the
dignity of the country by confirming a
scholar and a gentleman to n post for
which he was amply fitted. Noble men !
including Butler their grateful country
should erect a monument to them and there
aro many, very many in this happy land
who would gladly subscribe if this token of
a nation's gratitude could be erected over
their remains.
A regular out-and-out organ ono of the
kind that has no sort of regard for facts and
trivial things of that nature is certainly
to bo wondered nt, if not admired. There
is a bright, chirpy way about them of mis
representing facts and defending corruption
that calls for more than slight praise. This
is thowaythoLewisburg Chronicle alludes to
the Belknap disgrace and wo ask any criti
cal reader whether there can bo anything
neater or further from the truth :
A Democratic cabinet officer of a Repub
lican administration has, very naturally,
been discovered to be a thief, and has been
dragged down from a place to which it was
a political crime and betrayal ever to have
exalted him. .And tho only witness who
could prove his guilt, either before tho Sen
ate or tho criminal court, has been spirited
away to a foreign country by the Democrat
ic committeo that discovered their nest of
Democratic thieves, and who do not intend
to permit a Republican Senate, or a court
of criminal law, to harm tho Democratic
gentry who alone are soiled by tho late de
velopements. Good enough lor us.
The Harrisburg Patriot makes a decided
hit in commenting on such Radical journals
ns are endeavoring to make, party capital out
of tho fact that Belknap was formerly a
Democrat. After noting that Grant," Cam
eron, Morton, and Hartranft deserted their
party for profit it says ;
Tho fact is that men who aro bribed from
their fealty to their party by the promise of
preierment in olliclal station aro not incor
ruptible and the Belknap busiuess should
teach tho republican party that when It pur
chases men who call themselves democrats
by rewarding their treason with olliecs, it
caunot expect to preserve its organization
irom reproacn.
From present appearances it would look
m If Mr. Blaine of Maino would secure tho
nomination for President in tho Republican
National Convention. It is claimed that he
will go into the Convention with nt least
300 votes. Morton will have about 100 nnd
Coukllug and IJristow 80 or 00 each. Tho
total number of votes will bo 752. Hart
ranft, Hayes and others will havo some votes
of course, but probably not enough to mako
them formidable candidates. Grant docs
not Seem to bo considered as n candidato
but he may do some extraordinary thing be
fore the Convention meets which may
change the present aspect of affairs.
The ventilation of the Houso of Rcpre
sentatlycs in Washington is to defective
that a number of tho members have been
prostrated by the foul air. Mr. Ketchum of
Luzerne has been at the point of death
Mr. Wilson of West Virginia is dangerous
ly ill and Mr. Cox of New York Is confined
to his room, There has beeu money
enough spent on the Hall of lteurescnta-
tives to have made it the most perfect pub
lie room on the continent whereas it up
pears to bo about the worst.
The Democrats wero felicitating themselves
that Belknap bad killed the Republican par
ty, but it begins to look as if the Republi
can nurty hnU killed uelicnap. uaieue v

Belknap long ago if they had desired, for
the most ample opportunities wero allowed
If it had not been for a Democratic House

Secretary of war to this day.

we cruel beyond our fellows, but wo would
suggest that ifn couplo dozen pickpockets
could ho caught, a good use for them would
bo to hang them to the convenient lamp
posts which at not infrequent intervals line
the strcetsofl'hiladelphia.
And It is very natural to inquiro whom
the Democracy will nominate for President.
Here, we apprehend, they aro in as much
difficulty ns they aro about their platform.
Tho only thing in regard to which they real
ly agreo is that which they must try to hido
their natural sympathy with tho rebellion.
Indeed, this is tho chronic plank in the
Democratic platform. Press.
Col. John W. Forney lias returned from
England and resumed tho editorial chair of
the Press. His foreign travel does not seem
to havo added anything to tho breadth or
wisdom of his political views. Ho still
chirps about tlio Democrats as rebel sympa
thisers and perhaps believes that they are.
"A renegade is worse than ten Turks," it is
said, and as Col. Forney was formerly n
Democrat ho deems it no moro than ills
bounden duty to villify tho political party
from which he deserted. What ho means
by tho last sentence of the article quoted
abovo it is hard to understand. Certainly
neither Democratic State or National plat
forms have contained anything showing
sympathy with the rebellion. It is very sil
ly, this twaddle about the Democrats being
rebels, and the Press ought to bo frco from
it. During Col. Forney's sojourn abroad he
is credited with having done good work for
tho Centennial causo and to have awakened
a lively sympathy for the success of the Ex
position. Does ho imagine it will tend to
hearty good feeling to abuse a very largo
proportion of the people of the United States
in such foolish words as thoso wo have taken
from his paper? He is too sensible a man
to think it possible.
A DEAD FAILURE.
The disgusted and exasperated members
of the broken whisky ring endeavored to
gratify their malice nnd at the same time de
stroy their conqueror by trumping up a
chargo that Secretary Bristow passed a fraud
ulent claim for mules, amounting to $108,
000, and obtained a fee therefore of $50,000.
Nobody took much stock in tho story, but
the Secretary got mad and went before the
Committee on war expenditures to cxplodo
the lie. He did it most effectually and to
the satisfaction of every member of tho com
mittee. Ho was not Secretary of the Treas
ury at tho time tho claim was passed, but
acted as an attorney in tho case, argued it
n open court, and received a fee of about
$10,000, which it seems is below tho rates
charged by other lawyers in the samo court.
This is tho end of tho charge and a very
dirty and disreputable ono it was to the par-
tics who made it. There is a strong proba
bility that further investigations may bring
to light facts which may mako it inconyeui
lent for certain parties in Washington to ict
side there. The Secretary, when before tho
committee, strongly intimated his desire to
exposo tho authors of the slander.
The United States Supremo Court. In tho
case Involving the constitutionality of tho
New York passenger laws, has declared them
unconstitutional, holding that Congress
alone has power to make laws prescribing
conditions for the landing of passengers
irom abroad, 'Ililswilldo away with the
Board of Commissioners of Emigration, who
have charged a fee of $1.50 per capita on all
emigrants landing in New York. The Com
missioners have now a hill before the Now
York Legislature asking that tho fee bo in
creased to $2.50. It is said that they aro
some $300, 000 in debt.
Tho Boston Advertiser is a Republican
journal that retains somo conscience. It
says : "We rejoico over the triumph in Now
Hampshire bo fur ns it is a victory of good
principles over bad, but we regret it so far
as it is a triumph of trickery and of money.
If the Republicans of New Hampshire want
reform, let them begin at homo and reform
themselves. In their way they havo done
things quite as bad ns that for which tho
country condemns Belknap."
Tho Springfield llepubliam, says : "Thero
is but ono thing to be done with ntreo which
bears such fruit as Credit Mobillcrs, salary
grabs, whiskey rings, army rings, navy rings,
Boss Shepherds, Babcocks, WIlliamses,Cress

waste of time, IUw it down and cast it in

conviction of tho Republican Stato Treas
urer of New Jersey for embezzlement, sud
denly becomes poetical:

tho interests of the wholo peoplo and not of

mcnt of nil nuc9ttons submitted to thonrbl
trament of the sword, and in n policy which
under the Constitution keeps abreast of tlio
progress and civilization ot tuo ago to uuito
with them, they dcclaro :
First, That tho civil scrvlco of tho covcrn
mcnt lias becotno corrupt and is mado the
object ol personal gain, and iniidelity to pub
lie trust has become the rule, not tho exeep
tlon. Wo bclievo that honesty, capacity and
fidelity aro tho only tests of fitness for pub
lic station, and that tho wholesome penalties
oi tne law snouid bo used witu vigor to en
forco 'official accountability.
Second. That tho recent and repeated ex
posures of fraud and corruption in tho ad
ministration of public affairs call for n search
ing nnd thorough investigation of tho con
duct and condition of every branch nf tho
public service, to the end that all corrupt
practices may bo brought to light and that
all who havo abused and betrayed their pub
lic trusts, whatever may bo their station.may
bo exposed and punished ; and we urge
thoso in charge of the subject at Washing
ton to prompt, thorough and exhaustive ex
amination of their respective fields of labor.
Third.' That retrenchment and economy
nro indispensable in federal, state and muni
cipal adminiitration as nn essential means
toward lichteninc tho burdens of tho pconlo
and wo commend tho efforts of the Nemo of
Representatives for the reduction of tho ex
penditures of tho federal Government to a
just standard and their determination to les
sen tho number ol useless omcials.
Fourth, That general amnesty to all per
sons implicated in tho late rebellion against
tho government of the United States, who
havo not already been relieved from disabili
ties by tho action of Congress and by the
President, would bo an allowable and proper
exercise of governmental power in tho year
of tho centennial celebration of American
independence, nnd tli.it tho recommendation
of such a measure by President Grant in a
public message, nnd its endorscmeutaud pas
sage by a Republican Houso of Representa
tives at a former session constitute full proof
that such n measure is fit, judicious and
timely.
Filth. That tho democracy of Pennsyl
vania cordially approve of those provisions
of the State Constitution to wit : Tho eigh
teenth section of tho third article and the
second section of tho tenth articlo which
protect not ouly school funds but other pub
lic moneys from appropriation to sectarian
uses,and that they fitly illustrato that doctrine
of tho separation of church and State which
his always been a cardinal ono with the
Democratic party.
isutn. lhat tho statute lor tho resump
tion of specie payments on tlio 1st iav of
January, 1879, is impossible to execute, and
it is a deliberate proclamation that at that
date the United States will go into bank-
lupity. ii imruiyzi-a lui-.ustry, creates dis
trust of tho future, iuriis tho laborer and
producer out of employment, is a standing
threat upon tho business man and ought to
uo ionnwiiii repealed.
Seventh. That cold and silver aro the
only truo Basis for fho currency of tho re
public and that congress should tnko such
steps for tho resumption of specie payments
as will most surely anil speedily reach that
result without destroying the business inter
ests of the people.
Eighth. That tho present depression of
nil our national industries which checks the
wholesome flow of capital through the chan
nels of enterprise and denies to honest labor
n decent livelihood is tho direct inevitable
Iruit of extravnganco and of reckless and
dishonest republican tamnerinir with the
finances of the coimtry; and we denounce
the authors of that legislation as officials
who have unsettled the foundations alike of
the State and of tho home. Wo call upon
the people to aid us to halt them in this fatal
career, and to set their faces In the direction
of practicable measures which shall eventu
ally enable tho treasury of tho United States
to Keep us plighted laith with rich and poor
alike. We demand legislation through tho
power of tho federal Government which shall
give us performance for promises, nnd re
store solvency to tho nation by restoring
yiusperuy lu tuu pgopiu.
Jiesoieca, mat in common villi tho people of
our sister ftalef, we njoiee in tho opportunity
to celebrate the centennial of tho nrorlamntlnn
of our emancipation from the government of
tho British crown, marking us it did tho epoch
of the greatest event in modern history, and
feel a jiut pride that ii celebration thouid he

Tho following Is n correct dralt of what is
known ns tho Payno bill which has received
tho approval of tlio democratic caucus m the
best practicable compromise of differing
opinions on tho financial question. It was
ndoptcd, March 15, by n voto of GO to 40,
after protrncted debate. It provides for an
annual resumption fund In coin equal to
thrco per cent, of outstanding legal tenders
nnd requires tho national banks to keep step
with tho movement of tho government by
setting nsido thrco per cent, of their gold
Interest on tho amount of their circulating
Hotei. Finally it repeals tho resumption
act and removes n standing threat of panic
from tlio statuto book. It reads as follows:
A MM, to provide for tho gradual resump
tion. of special payments.
Jh it enacted, etc, That it shall bo tho
duty of tho secretary of tho treasury dur
ing each and every year, from nnd nfter
July 1, 1870, nnd until tho legal tender notes
of tho United States shall havo appreciated
to par vnlno with gold nnd shall bo con
vertible into coin nn amount equal to thrco
per centum of such legal tender notes out
standing; and from tho date otsuch conver
tibility as aforesaid, tho amount of coin set
nsido and retained ns aforesaid shall bo held
as a resumption fund in respect to said le
gal tender notes, and shall nt notlinobo
less than thirty per centum ot such outstan
ding leg-il tender notes: Provided, however,
that tho coin so set asldo nnd retained ns
nhovo provided shall bo canted ns a part of
the sinking fund for tho purchase or pay
ment of tho public dept, as required by sec
tion 3,G94 of the revised statutes.
Skc. 2. That it shall bo tho duty of each
national banking association during each
and every year from and after July 1, 187G,
and until tho full and complete resumption
'of tlie payment in specie of its circulating
notes, to set aside and retain from tho coin
recelvahlo as interest on tho hon,ds deposi"
ted with tho Treasurer of tho United States
as security for its circulation an amount
equal to three per centum of its circulating
notes, issued to such association and not
surrendered, and from tho date, of its re
sumption of specio payments as aforesaid,
tho amount of coin to bo held nnd main
tained ns a resumption fund shall nt no
time bo less than 30 per centum of its out
standing circulation; provided, however,
that tho coin by this section directed to be
set aside and retained shall bo counted as a
part of tho lawful money rcservo which said
associations aro by existing laws required to
maintain.
Sr.c. 3. That so much of section thrco of
an act entitled "nn act to provido for tho
resumption of specie payments," approved
January 14, 1875, as requires tho secretary
of tho treasury to redeem legal tender notes
to tho amount of 80 per centum of tho sum
of national bank notes issued to any bank
ing association, increasing its capital or cir
culation, or to any association newly organ
ized us provided in said section, and also so
much of said section three as relates to or
provides for the redemption in coin of tho
United States legal tender notes on and after
January 1,1879, and all other provisions of
law inconsistent with this act are hereby re
pealed. Belknap's impeachment should bo tho be
ginning of a thorough reform in tho whole
rotten system of monopoly traders at mili
tary posts in the Indian country. Why
should any ono man or firm be given tho
sole right to sell goods to tho poor soldiers
banished to a distant fort, aud thus bo en
abled to charge them extortionate prices for
such articles as they cannot obtain from
their commissary, and must therefore buy
or go without? Why should tho still moro
lucrative right of trading with tho Indians
at thoso posts bo parceled out to favorites or
to tho highest bidder, as monopoly privi
leges ? Hid ellect is that public officers are
corrupted, and both the Indians and soldiers
are robbed outrageously. Tho Indian may
not sell his buffalo-skins to anybody except
tho licensed trader, aud must, inconsequence
virtually give them away, while tho calicoes
and trinkets ho buys aro charged to him at
six or ten times their prico in tho East. This
is a monstrous wrong, for which thero is no
excuse, except thnt it is n handy wny to pro
vido for tho Orvillo Grants nnd other Pres
idential favorites, and to supply the wives
of Cahiuet Ministers with abundant pin mon-
oy. Let the wholo system bo abolished
and trading everywhere bo thrown open to
tho fullest competition. Philadelphia Times.

Closo observers of American knowlcdgo

readily awakened on tho American than

enthusiasm is chiefly shown by tlio woman.

without violent mental gymnastics, discover

Washington, 1), 0., March 18, 1870.
Special Correspondence,
Tim DEMOCRATIC ltOtisi:
deserves much moro credit than It will ever
get from tho people for tho liulllnchlng
cotirso It has ptirsucd.and Is'stlll industrious
ly pursuing, through Its sovcral Investigat
ing committees, In exposing tho swindling
operations of Republican officials, No ono
outside of Washington, nnd even very few
residents, havo nny Idea of tho temptations
to which n congressman Is subjected, nnd tho
Influences by which ho is sometimes Induced
to play, unconsciously, into tho hands of tho
Washington Ring. This Ring, which Is
composed of all tho Government "beats" lu
Washington, and of which President Grant
is tho virtual,aiid A. R. Slicphcrd the osten
sible Heiui-Ccntrc, styles itself tho Me
tropolitan Club, and isns thoroughly organ
ized ns n pirate-ship. Its members nro all
detailed for work, nccording to their rc
Rpectlvo tnstcs nnd capacities. Thero aro no
drones among them. It is an important
point with Iho Ring to "capture" congress
men, irrespective of politics, race, color
previous condition, &c; nnd tho impunity
with which tho public treasury was robbed,
before tho 4 1th Congress convened, shows
that they wero successful.
Tlin OAMl. Ol'Tllr. WAS1IINOTO.V KINO.
When n new Congress is elected, a com
mittee is appointed by tlio Ring to discover
by nil available means, the peculiarities,
tastes, and general habits of all tho new
members elect, so that tho necessary traps
may bo laid for them when they arrive hero
ns strangers. If n now member is known to
bo of a "pious turn," two or three members
of tho Ring contrive to get introduced to
hlni, soinehow,aud snnko him oil' to a prayer
meeting if ho is an evangelical christian, in
to the church of any denomination to which
tlio victim may belong. Tho Ring com
prises men of nil religious sects, from tho
orthodox Roman Catholic to tho Spiritualist;
or, moro correctly speaking, comprises men
who aro willing to represent themselves to
bo connected with any church under tho
sun, if anything is to bo "made" by it. The
Ring owns, through its members, ono or
moro pews in all tho principal churches in
Washington. If a now Congressman bo n
temperance man, ho is snatched, as quick as
lightning, aud lugged off to a meeting of tlio
Sons of Jonadab. Thoso who take their
"tod" arc escorted to all tho "best places,"
nnd, finally, to tho Metropolitan Club, where
they nre allowed to swill, ad libitum, without
cost, and aro assured that they will ho wel
come and hospitably entertained whenever
they call that they can not coino too often
fcc &c. Tho "gay and festive" member is
driven round and shown the "picture s,"and,
in due course of time, it is intimated to him
that if ho has a lady "friend" whom ho
would like to place in one of the Depart
ments, the thing can bo managed for him.
If ho is needy, and fond of draw poker, and
his voto is wanted, ho is nllowed to win, at
the "club," a few hundreds or thousands,
nccording to tho importnnco 6f his voto nnd
influence. Tho Ring goes strong for Con
gressmen of slender means who have wives
nnd daughters anxious to go into "society,"
and mako n splurge. Theso men aro in
special danger of going astray. They, of all
men, should pray
"LEAD US AWAY PP.OM TEM1TATION,"
and should endeavor to keep themselves and
their families away from it. If they once
conimenco to frequent tho houses of tho
vulgar Ring hhoddyites who havo consti
tuted Washington "society"for several years
they will bo sorely tempted to go into ex
penses beyond their menus, and, afterwards,
to lend themselves for money with which to
extricate themselves from their difficulties,
to tho schemes of tho Ring. It is pleasant
to be able to record tho fact, in these de
generate times, that only ono or two Demo
cratic members of the 4 1th Congress bavo
been successfully approached by the Ring.
hatever Congressional support it gets now
nearly exclusively from the Republi
cans.
HON. llOnERT II. VANCE, Ol' SOUTH CARO
LINA,
Chairman of tho Committee on Patents, and
his colleagues on the committee, havo earned
tho gratitudoof every family in tlio laud by
reporting adversely upon tho application for
an extension of the Wilson patent for tho
four motion feed" used by tho tewing )na-
chino companies of tho great mouopoly
combination. This is of importance to every
household, and especially to thoso who are
depondent upon tho bewing machine for a
livelihood. Tho committeo report that tho
average price of tewing machines has been
iCO, while they can bo sold at a fair profit for
bout $22. Ihe difference amounting to
many millions of dollars, has been absorbed
by tho owners of the patents, who havo been
already sufficiently well paid for tho benefit
conferred upon the community ; and it is not
intended to grant them any further power
for extortion.
HON. s. s. cox
hns been hcriuusly ill for several days, but is
on tho mend again, and will resume his du
ties in the Houso whero li!s absence is al
ways felt. His reputation as a wit, as well as
a man of letters, has called attention to his
recently published book entitled, "Why wo
Laugh." Tho work is not without its phil
osophy, but its principal value nnd interest
to general readers will rest upon tho fact
that it contains tho best collection of Ameri
can anecdotes and humor ever published.
Thero is scarcely n phase of American hu
mor that is not bet fortli in brilliant exam
ples and in tho author's most characteris
tic style. The chapters on legislative hu
mor will probably attract most attention,
for tho reason that so much of the matter is
based on personal reminiscences.
IMPORTANT TO INTERIOR STATES.
I hco that tho Commissioners of Immigra
tion of tho Stato of New York aro endeavor
ing to get tho head-tax on immigrants nnd
aliens increased from $1.50 to $2.50. Theso
unpopular commissioners ran iu debt last
year $100,000, and havo fallen behind abcut
$300,000 altogether. Tho New York Legis
lature need not waste any timo in endeavor
ing to increase an odious and unconstitu
tional tax. The constitutionality of these
Stato laws imposing u tax upon till foreign
ers mid immigrants coming to our shores
will bo passed upon, in a few days, by tlm
Sunremo Court of tho United States. Thero
can bo no doubt about what that decision
will be. CongreKS has tho exclusive power
to rcgulato commerce. An essential, if-not
tho most csfccntiul, part of commerce is pas
senger commerce, Jl btates lite Jinoue jh
land and New York can tax all aliens land
ing on their shores 1,C0 per head, buch
Staves can tax them $500 or $1,000 per head.
Upon this theory, a Stato can not only ob
struct, but practically destroy, that commerce
over which Qmyrrtt has exclusive control,
Tho statement of tho proposition demos
stratfe its absurdity. It is an Incomprehen
sible mystery that these odious and vexa
tious State taxca havo not long ugo beeu de
clared unconstitutional. In addition to be
ing in clear conflict with a plain provision
of the Constitution, they nre inconsistent
with tho spirit of our treaty obligations,
which require us to penult tho citizens or
subjects of nil nations with which wo havo
ficiillcs to enter our ports for business or
pleasure, without hludranco or obstruction,
A tax, whether largo or small, Is an obstruction.
