THE EXEMPTION NOTE.
The following conituunicatiall wan handed
to us, last week, by a Fanner"' friend,
who, we suppose, desires to draw us out
on this subject, more fully than we have
heretofore found time to discuss the point,'
involved:
Ma. Eynon—hear Sir :—I one you, and also
the editor of the Local News, are terribly down on
those Exemption Notes, which I believe you
sell by the dozen about as cheap as anybody. Now
will you. please tel uc, fur our information, when,
or how, will you benefit the poorer class, by legis
lating them out of existence
Are you not aware that a very large proportion,
If not a majority, of the population, never ex
pect to be worth over three hundred dollars, and
many who are, can bide all their personal effects,
behind that law, and own large farms, and halite
off honest creditors for years? .
And, further, would you not be taking away the
poor man's credit entirely, on which that class, al
ways depend ? I care not how soon you introduce
A cash system, there is a very large class of our
citisens, will never have cash on hand, to pay for
any thing, except it Islay be tobacco and whisky.
Now, we farmers, you know, work hard for our
grain and meat, &c., on which all must exist, and
the man that wants to buy it, or anything else,
and will not give us his Exemption note, we know
at once, has no intention to pay. Now we are not
bound to give away our produce, without at least
some prospect of the pay some time in the future,
and we do hold, (while we protest against asking
the pound of flesh) that it is offering a premium
for dishonesty. We would regard it a waste of
paper to take a Note of most any man, who gives
a Note, if he would refuse to sign an Exemption
note.
But, we see a case of desertion cited in the Lo
cal Newt, charged to a couple of those notes, now
tell us how long ago that same case, might have
been compelled by hunger, had it nut been for
those good Samaritans who took those Notes, and
drove the wolf from the door? And if you legis
late Exemption Notes out of use, and rob the poor
of all the credit they have, perhaps near cue-half
of all the father's in the country, may he looking
for their married daughters and a few babies back,
to see if daddy has anything to eat. Did you ev
er hear of a man giving an E'temp lon Note, but
thought. it to his advantage and would pledge his
wife if asked of him, but leave the tame tote for
collection after ten or fifteen years, witaolt ever
receiving the interest and the first question asked
by deft., is, is it exemption paper?
Since writing the above, we see over the signa
ture of "Justice," a piece headed, "It is hard tube
rich." Well, now, we do not know anything about
that experimentally, we do know it is hard to get
rich, and will be much harder to get so, and keep
so, than ever, if those who do make an honest ef
fort to get something ahead in the world, are bound
to sell, to all who may want, or need, all over and
above what they need, to eat and wear, without se
curity that will take the hair off.
We are as much opposed to ceiling people out,
and sacrificing property, these times, as "Justice,"
or any one else. It is decidedly wrong, where it
can be avoided, but we have no doubt if you were
to go to "Justice," to-day, tired as he is of being
rich, and buy a lot of his wheat, meat, Ice., and if
you do not give him the cash, which you know
nobody has now, he will take nothing less, than
the tightest kind of exemption paper, or demand
such bail, as no poor man can get. We still think
there are two sides to this Exemption Note ques
tion. In most cases it is a useless waste of paper
and ink to take any other kind, and in many cases
they are useless, too, now-adays. There is a dread
ful hue and cry set up about merciless creditors
but not a word about merciless debtors.
FARMER
The author of the above communication
deserves credit for presenting the subject
in the best light from his standpoint
But it is an extremely selfish view, with
out much of the usual shrewdness which
characterizes even selfishness. Individual
selfishness very seldom saves at the bung
to lose at the spigot. It means to save at
both places, but if there must be loss, it
usually submits to the least possible waste.
The universal practice of taking Exemp
tion Notes is the reverse of this. While
it saves at the bung it opens the spigot
wide and permits all the valuable fluid to
escape. How so, you ask ? We will ex
plain : If A, a poor man, with less • than
$3OO worth of property, can get credit
from "Farmer" on the strength of it, by
giving an Exemption Note, he can, in all
probability, get credit from "Farmer's"
neighbors, on similar conditions, fir five
or six times the amoun tof "Farmer's" little
claim. And when A's financial condition
is questioned he is found to be hopelessly
insolvent. "Farmer" runs immediately to
the record and enters up his under-shirt
bill, issues an execution, seizes all A's
property, sells it at a terrible sacrifice, and
is obliged to purchase the greater portion
of the scanty furniture himself to get out.
A's wife and little ones are turned out to
starvation and wretchedness, or some one's
• charity, very likely the other creditors,
must come to their relief. Novi what has
been gained by "Farmer's" Exemption
Note ? True be has made his money, but
in doing so he has outraged every sense of
decency, brought the censure of his neigh
bors down upon his head and beggared a
family ! The neighbors, who had been in
duced to trust A on the same security, lost
all their money The precipitate action
of "Farmer" caused universal alarm and
uneasiness, and every neighbor who held
a Judgment Exemption Note, following
the example of "Farmer," went to the
✓ecord and entered up and issued upon
their claims, the consequence was that B,
C and D failed successively, each heavily
indebted to "Farmer," a sporadic panic
was thus inaugurated, and the price of
everything in the neighborhood declined
frost thirty-three to fifty per cent. If this
is not saving at the bung and losing at the
spigot, with a vengeance, then we know
nothing about it. This is the universal
experience with Judgment Exemption
Notes. Now, then, when depressions are
produced and brought about by this agency,
poor men are thrown out of employment,
sad become objects of charity. Would it
not be better, a thousand times, to legislate
these under-shirt notes out of existence
and prevent sporadic panics ? Would poor
won not be benefitted by such wise legisla
tion I' And would not rich men be like
wise benefitted ? Untjuestionably they
would.
We are certainly aware that a large.
portion of our population never ex
pect to be worth over $3OO. They live
from hand to mouth. They pay cash or
they exchange labor for products. They
are obliged to do this. They do not ex
pect credit and will not ask it unless they
presume upon the weakness of some known
philanthropist. If a man is honest he will
pay; if he dishonest, a waiver of Exemp
tion Note will not make him otherwise.—
The man who will give a waiver of Ex
emption Note for an honest debt will, very
likely, to save his wife and children
from being made beggars, give one for a
dishonest claim.
Waiver of Exemption Notes are no ad:
vantage to a poor man in giving him credit,
but on the other hand a positive injury.
No an starts io life with the expectation
that his neighbor will, without recompense.
support him. Ile expects, and the emu
triunity experts, that he will earn his. tors
living and that of any family 'which may
spring up around l'im. If be is diligent,
industrious. and careful he soon accumulates
property. By Judgment Exemptiorr Notes
he can pledge the value ~r this property
to each of a 4, n persons Sneh a priv
ilege is an abuse of every principle el'
Political Economy. Nevertheless he can
do so; there is naught to hinder him.—
This causes the creditor to suspect even
an honest man. For this reason we argue
that this class of seeurity is the merest
humbug in the world and a positive injury
to the poor man.
We have discussed this question, so far,
from a merely business standpoint. There
is another side to the matter. Every State
in the Union, as far as we know, has ex
empted a certain amount of property from
leavy and sale upon execution. This has
been done on the ground that no good
government can permit its citizens to be
beggared. Some States exempt from two
to five thousand dollars worth of property.
The creditor knows the law and governs
himself accordingly. He knows whether
the man who asks for credit is honest or
not. If' he is, he credits him ; if' not, be
declines. If he is foolish enough to credit
him in the face of bad filth, he has only
himself to blame if he loses. The plea
that a family is starving is a plea for
charity. It is not charity to give a poor
family grain and meat, &e., and take an
Exemption Note which will not only sell
the grain and meat but theii• shelter and
clothit;g, and turn the family out to beg.
Again : Is not the poor man the most
miserable fool alive, who will sign a note
that will place himself' and family entirely
at the mercy of the creditor? After sign
ing-one of these notes his freedom is all
that is left. Every tatter be has in the
world can be taken from him. lie can
be left as naked as the day he was born.
What is to be thought of laws that will
permit tb like in a civilized community?
Is it not an insult, yea a crime, - to ask a
poor man to sign such an infamous bond ?
We believe it is both a crime to ask it and
to sign it. It is a crime against the wife,
perhaps. the unborn babe, against human
ity, against business, and against the spirit
of the statutes of the grand old Common
wealth of Pennsylvania.
ETA TOR
QurrE a flurry was created in political
circles, on Monday evening last, at the
announcement that Hon. Simon Cameron
had resigned the United States Senator
ship, to take effect upon the election of
his successor. Immediately all manner of
reports were put in circulation in regard
to the intentions or the aged and honora
ble Senator, but they were the mere spec
ulations of interested parties. Mr. Camer
on is in his 79th year. The cares of office
weigh heavily upon him and he wishes to
get rid of the annoyance and worry. He
has, also, a laudable desire that his son.
Hon. J. Donald Cameron, should succeed
him, for which we give him credit. The
indications are that his wish will be grati
fied and that Mr. J. D. Cameron, on next
Tuesday, will be unanimously elected to
till the vacancy occasioned by his father's
resignation. Mr. Cameron so ably filled
the position of Secretary of War during
the last few months of General Grant's ad
ministration that his ability is universally
admitted.
The opposition to the Camerons will
organize at once, and, though it may be
powerless at this time, yet two years hence
it may be in a condition to make itself se.:
verely felt.
The younger Cameron is in perfect ac
cord with the policy of President Hayes,
and, therefore, his election will be univer
sally approved by the business men of the
State.
WHEN we went to press last week the
President had not nominated his Cabinet,
though its composition was pretty well
foreshadowed. Thefollowing distinguished
gentlemen were invited and accepted port
folios : Secretary of State, Hon. Wm. M.
Evarts, of' New York ; Secretary of the
Treasury, Hon. John Sherman, of Ohio;
Secretary of War, Hon. George W. Mc-
Crary, of lowa ; Secretary of the Navy,
Hon. Richard W. Thompson, of Indiana;
Secretary of the Interior, Hon. Carl
Schurz, of Missouri ; Postmaster General,
Hon. David M. Key, of Tennessee; and
Attorney General, Hon. Charles Devens,
of Massachusetts. There was considera
ble opposition to several gentlemen named,
but by Saturday last., the opposition had
subsided and most of them were confirmed
by the Senate without any formidable op
position. The Cabinet, though made up
of the different political elements of the
country, gives general satisfaction, and
the administration of 'President Hayes
starts off very favorably.
IN this country when there is so much
money bequeathed, from time to time, for
benevolent objects, it is strange that some
one or several have not Eet apart a suffi
cient amount of money to endow a news
riper or periodical which could be gener
ally circulated, at a merely nominal price,
in which Science, Religion, Politics, and
in fact everything in which the masses are
immediately concerned, could be fully dis
cussed. 'As the case now stands no liberal
paper or periodical of this character can
be sustained by voluntary support. If
such a medium -were established and pr -
erly directed it would wield an all power
ful influence.
THE idea of electing or appointing peo
ple to office, during good behavior, became
repugnant to the American System of
Government at an early period in our his
tory, and every ventage of it has been blotted
from the statute books of every one of the
original States. Officers are now elected
or appointed for a term of years, and there
is Feareely one in ten that is his own
successor for half a decade. Rotation in
office is the rule ; a life lease the exception.
The party that undertakes to reverse this
order of things may ju.4t as well proceed
to select the site foe its mausoleum.
THE skies are clear and secrene at Wash.
ington. The new President starts on 116
four year voyage with the good wishes of
the great bulk of the nation. The south
ern plicy will work out its own solution.
Let ti.e good work go on.

o f the si , ters ; though the only other
sori,Oiltifially at the bead of the eor.test.
MOS. Ti;.' talcs in the ea,,e, an Cornelius states
them,are about thus : The old man neversitewv: very
mu h feetirq tor the children but William. Oar
neliu4 strieken with epilepsy in his e ar ly
youth, and has beenahe vietint of that terrible
disease until within a few years past. He had it
for a long time in its worst form, and was actual
ly unable to do business. Later in life be recov
ered from it, to a very great degree, and married,
but, in the meantime, William had grown to 11340 . 11
estate, and was being trained by his father into
the care of the rapidly growing notate. Corneliun
had no children, and the old man paid but little
more attention to hint than as if he had not been
bin son. Worth at the timehalfa hundred millions,
he allowed bin second non and bin wife the tnagniti
cent sum of t 2.ten fortbeir summit, about half that
any respectalle em pleyee in his railroad enterpri4,3B
wan receiving. The representative of the Van
derbilt name could no live upon this, an a matter
of course, and so ho ran into debt. Finally old
age warned the great railroad man that he bad h a t
a short ti n ts on earth, and he made bin prepara
tions for kis departure. lie seemed to have but
one idea and that was to perpetuate the•name of
Vanderbilt, and hold together in one mass the
money that gilded it and made it all it was. Il an
daughters could not carry the name, Immune their
children took the names of their fathers, Cornelius,
the second non, had no children, and William H.,
the eldest son, bad not only children but they were
boys. So he left Cornelius, not 4200,000, but the
income from that amount. To the daughters he
left similar incomes, and all the balance he left to
Wm. and his suns. That is to say, he left one
hundred millions of dollars to the son fortunate
enough to have sons to carry the Vanderbilt name,
providing that the income from about three mill
ions of it should be paid to his other children. The
will is to be contested, if it is contested at all, on
the ground that it is unnatural, and that the old
roan was antler undue influence when he made it.
Several of the most celebrated lawyers in the
country have been employed by the contestants.
On the other side it is said that the old gentleman
knew exactly what he was about. Ile left Corne
lius about $20,000 a year which he claims is
enough for him, and he left his daughters equally
well used, which is enough for them. Ile left the
estate in /he hands of IVilliam because he was the
only one capable of handling the vast interests,
and that they might be continued successfully, it
was necessary that the property may be divided.
Public opinion is divided. Some insist that the
vast estate should be divided because the possession
of so much money in the hands of one man is dan
gerous, and others want it kept as it in, that the
grand conceptions of the dead financier may be
carried out. The fight will be a very pretty one,
and the lawyers will have a fat thing of it.
POLITICAL.
The inauguration is over, and Hayes is as he
should be, President. Tilden and Morrissey play
ed a bold, daring game for very high stakes, they
lost, and subside. All the talk of resistance has
stopped, for it was never meant to be anything.
It was intended to prevent the inauguration, if
possible, but it was not intended to go any farther.
The business Democracy are as well pleased as the
Republicans that the question is settled, and they
will g ye the new administration a cordial and
honest support. The Wall street men held a meet
ing, and resolved, and the Union League Club did
likewise. Both bodies recognized Hayes as the
legitmate President of the United States, and
endorsed the policy shadowed forth in his inaugu
ral as fully as ho could have desired it. The Cab
inet is entirely satisfactory to New York •and al
together there is a sort of political love-feast pre
vailing, that is not only pleasant but encouraging
I don't know which party is the best satisfied. It
looks now as though Hayes would so amalgamate
the warring factions as to make but one party be
fore his term is out. And let me put a word in
here. Go very slow in the matter of the Senators
versus the President. Gov. Hayes is going to be
President himself. He went into office with the
promise that he would reform the civil service and
that he would be the President of the whole country.
lie will surround himself with the right men. He
will urge the right measures, and if the politicians
refuse to support him, ho will throw himself upon
the people. Those who suppose Hayes to be a
mere man of putty, who can be manipulated by
traders and office-mongers, and made a mere ma
chine of for others to grind, will find themselves
mistaken. He Is a strong, self-reliant, self-willed
man, who knows all about the Government, and
who will run it. He has a fight on his hands, but
he will win. He has the confidence of the people,
and can afford to antagonize the trading politicians.
FIRE-PROOF BUILDINGS.
The fire in Bond Street, in which two millions of
dollars went up, shows how little sense there is in
builders. The building was built by the Waltham
Watch Cu., and was intended to be fire-proof. The
walls were massive, the front was iron, the beams
and girders were iron, and everything was done to
make the receptacle of millions of property abso
lutely safe. But the floors were laid with Georgia
pine, which is about all rosin, and the casings and
all the interior work was made of wood. A fire
got into it—how, no one knows—and this fire
proof building went up about as quickly as a com
mon frame barn. The inflammables inside made
a heat that curled the iron supports like pipe
stems, and actually melted the walls. The brick
and iron afforded no resistance to the fire—it lick
ed it up about as readily as it did the wood. And
now the architects are figuring on buildings which
won't burn. They never will do it, if they make
the outside of brick and iron, and then put enough
Georgia pine inside to melt it.
FRIGHTENED CROW 93,
Another terrible accident took place •Thursday
night. A series of meetings are being held in St.
Xavier Catholic church, for women and children,
under the direction of a Jesuit missionary, who is
a wonderfully moving preacher. He was dwelling
on the horrors of purgatory, and had the congre
gation of women—there was:twenty-five hundred
of them—terribly excited. One woman lost con
trol of herself, and shrieking, fainted. Some
equally frightened woman shrieked fire, and the
mass made a rush for the door. The strong tramp
led remorselessly over the weak, and when the
building was finally emptied, it was found that six
women and four or five children had been tramp
led to death. Nobody seems to be to blame, but
it does seem as though in buildings intended for
such purposes, some provision should bo made for
constantly occurring accidents. The trawling
killed as many people in the Brooklyn theater as
the fire.
JOE COBURN.
There is some hope for New York. Joe Coburn,
the pugilist, and democratic politician, discharged
his little pistol at a policeman a few weeks ago and
wounded him. The law, which men of the Coburn
kidney have heretofore laughed at, took hold of
him, and Joseph was not only convicted, but sen
tenctd to ten years in Sing Sing. This ruffian has
been` the terror of New York for years. He has
been w prize-fighter, a keeper of all sorts of crimi
nal resorts, and has been arrested hundreds of
times, but he was so useful to the democracy lin
handling repeators, and in organizing the shoulder
hitters, for election days, that he has always been
let off without much punishment. Bat the day of
these fellows is over. Public opinion has got at
la.t some influence with judges, and they dare not
compromise with scoundrels who are so well known
as this Coburn. And so, Joseph much to his dis
gust, goes up for ten years, and his fellows shake
in their shoes. Joe Goss, another one of the fra
ternity, who was concerned in the Allen prize-fight
in Kentucky, and was employed by the Democ—
racy in stuffing the ballot-boxes in Cincinnati,
was taken out of the city on a requisition from the
Governor of Ken.ucky, and he will languish in
the prison of that State for a while. The sky is
brightening.
BUSINESS
is improving for certain. The hotels are full of
merchants, and, thank heaven, they are buying.
The big importers are rolling out bales and boxes
in the must cheerful way, and the heart of the
truckman is made glad. Now, good people in the
interior. take a little heart. We aro not going to
have war. We have a President, and things are
going on smoothly and well. Build, buy, marry,
and give in marriage, just the same as though you
never heard of bard times. There was no occasion
whatever for the howl, and now that the shadow is
gone, don't stay frightened. If the people get
back their courage, the times will be as good in a
month as they ever were. Courage is what we
want now. PIETRO.

THE CONGRESS.
The House of Representatives of the 44th Con
gress which came in with a yell went out with a
groan. It was a House of more than average tal
ent, although it had only one or two members of
commanding ability. It died of insincerity and
inaction. It had nose enough and to owe but
no brain. It smelled with vigor and marvelous
perseverance ; but it took delight in sniffing car
rion only. For years, the creed of "practical" re
publican statesmanship had degenerated into the
parrot-like cry of "Rebel !" This Democratic
House ran out its prodigious nose in response and
parrotically sneezed out—" Thief!" Well, that
was not at..tesmanship either; and so the nation
wisely preferred to endure the ills they knew than
fly to others that they knew not of. The lesson of
the 44th Congress is ; Act. Nicknaming, reduced
the Republicans to a minority; satellins. cost the
Democrats a victory that was within their reach.
PRr.FIDY.!4T GRANT.
Grant's administration began and ended with a
blunder; but both were baffled by the courage of
men who could not be awed by executive power.
Tba Senate hurled the puree proud Stewart back
at the new President; and Packard bravely de
feated the cowardly trick to overthrow him. By
and bye, history will applaud the Senate and the
Louisiana Governor. Grant, ae a statesman has
been a failure—as disastrous a failure as Andrew
Jackson, the worst of all our Presidents ; and yet
history will say, I believe, that he was the great
est lean who ever sat in the President's chair. Bat

military chieftains to great civil office?. The

Keep cool! Neither the President nor his Sena

ntructive policy. One has as tench right ai the
other to rule the Republic. Neither the President
nor the leaders who oppose him represent the en
tire Republican party. One has as mach right as
the other to represent it. Neither the Exe,u , iie
nor the Senate hat the sole right to determine a
policy nor to select the proper teen to carry it out.
Both are partly right and partly wrong.
I think the people can afford to stand quiet for
a while and see fair play between there fierce con

is a "iienatorial Ping"anda"Wilite House Ring."

rival politicians they are not yet called on to silos

their due.
It is not a great Cabinet, but there arc no weak
wen in it. Taking both character and capaeil
into consideration, it is the best and ablest Cabi
net we have had since Lincoln called around him
the chiefs of the party.

he an American home,—not a court in miniature.
And to know how great an advance in reform this
will be, one must have resided here and have sern
the feverish social life of the capital, under Grant,
with the Fish family as its leaders.
Sherman is quite equal to any of the NationLl
Treasurers we have had since the war closed, aid
he is a decided imrovement over some of them.
If McCreary shall prove to be the equal of Den
Cameron in an executive talent,his just reputation
as a lawyer will be equalled by his fame as a War
Minister. It is the fashion now to decry the Cam
crone by the friends of the new President, but as
ono hero denies that the late Secretary has shown
himself to be a man of eminent capacity. Andho
proved himself a worthy successor of Stanton, the
greatest of all American War Ministers, when, in
the last week of Grant's adtninistriition, he refused
to send the order that was designed to overthrow
the Louisiana Government. Ile had the courage
to say to Grant that the President could have his
resignation, but that he would nut sign that order.
Gen. Sherman sent it.
Thompson will hardly be inferior to Robesen.
Neither of them are human ciphers, and neitiler
of them are great officers.
Devens will add no popular strength to the par
ty in New England or elsewhere, hut, on the other
hand, he will not degrade the office that Taft has
adorned, and I can pay him no higher compliment
—for Taft will be remenibered after the passions
and gushings of the day have passed away as ane
of the purest and ablest and most patriotic coun
sellors whom Grant ever selected. Taft has been
denounced simply because he honestly held that
the blackest Republican was the equal of the
whitest bandit of ,gississippi and ought to be pro
tected by the party that forced him to be the belt--
er of the dangerous gift of the ballot. That dim
trine is heresy to-day; but heresy dues nut fear
to-morrow. As Henry Clay did not remark, I
would rather be Taft than President just now.
Schurz will be a vast improvement over Chand
ler in scholarship and as an exponent of princi
ples; but he is likely to be inferior to him in execu
tive capacity and as an administrative reformer.
I have spoken with contempt of Chandler in this
correspondence, and I felt the contempt I uttered
for his character and his management of the 'ate
campaign; but I disdain to join in the calumny
about corruption in his department—for, although
ho has put none but Republicans in office, he Ims
rooted out incapacity and dishonesty wherever he
has found it, and has reorganized and managed
the Interior on business principles and methcds.
If Schurz does as well he will do well enough.
Key is a good man I believe, and an honest
man, and a Union man. I know that his nomi
nation has been urged by the best men who are
exponents of national ideas in the democratic pa--
ty of the South. If the President had put tro
Southern men in the Cabinet, one a Southern na
tive white Republican, Hie Alcom or Settle, end
the other a Southern native white Democrat, of
the national wing. like Key or Joshua Hill, his
policy would have been as wise as it would have
been bold, and every intelligent Republican famil
iar with the Southern situation, and uninfluenced
by ambition or hatred, could have endorsed it and
should have supported it with cordiality and hope
fulness. Such, lam told. and directly from the
White House,—from a Southern man who spoke
with the President—was the programme that ho
had arranged when he left Ohio. Indiana influ
ences caused him to yield. It is a national mis
fortune.
For it is an insult keenly felt,—and I speak
from personal knowledge—by all the brave and
noble men, natives of the South, who for years
have stood up unflinchingly against the fiercest
storms of calumny and of ostracism among their
own people because of their alliance with the Re
publican party. It seems to them like an official
announcement, by a Republican President, elected
by Southern votes, that no Southern Republicans
are fit to he honored and trusted with national po
sitions. Scores of these men, each of them leaders
in their States or counties, have called on me within
the last two weeks, and have spoken freely of this
affront. The Democracy will proclaim it from
every stump at the next election. If thin error is
not undone, we shall drive from us a majority of
the white Republicans of the South, and certainly
we shall not gain Democrats enough to fill op the
gaps.
SOUTH CAROLINA AND LOUISIANA.
The President's policy on the two Republican
Southern States is not officially announced yet, but
nearly all of his partizans are plotting for the
recognition of Hampton and Nichols. That is to
say, it is al aintaiutd that, because the Mississippi
plan did not succeed in these States,--because the
Republican majority was so great, and the devo
tion of the poor negroes to our party so religious
in its character, that not even the assassination of
their leaders and terrorism and the threats of
homelessness could overcome it—we, Northern
men, republicans in power, shall rally to the help
of the baffled ruffians and finish the task of the
bull-dozers ! If this policy is (tarried out, there
will be an exodus from the party that will make
Moses and his little crowd of fugitives forgotten.
For, every Republican who honestly believes in
his creed must decline to become a party to this
crowning infamy; and the Southern white Repub
licans will leave us—and nearly all the negroes—
in a body. But, until the President shall declare
by his own words or acts that by self-government
he did not mean the rule of all the people but only
whit.-government; and that by Home-rule he
meant only democratic supremacy without regard
to the rights of the majority-1 shall decline to
believe that President Hayes is a traitor and an
ingrate. I cannot believe it. I know only that
because he speaks words of good-will some of his
followers are arguing that it is right to sacrifice
our friends in the South in order to prove their
loyalty to him ! "lie who serves his country best
serves his party best," says the President. And
it is equally true that he who is most loyal to
principle will be most loyal to the President,
whether it shall cause him to thwart or to eupfort
the policy of the Administration. -
At last the day of final adjournment has been
fixed. The House passed a resolution on Tuesday
last to adjourn upon Friday the 23d day of March,
and the Senate at Q4co concurred in the resolution.
This result, however was nut arrived at without a
lively light in the House between the friends and
opponents of an early adjournment. Mr. Jackson
of Mercer, who was opposed to the resolution was
quite pointed and cesphatic iu his remarks. lie
charged that the lobby was not altogether de
stroyed by the new constitution and though it
could no longer obtain special legislation it sought
to kill certain bills now before the House by cut
ting off all legislation. At this time, he said, the
lobby presants a united front in favor of an early
adjournment. Mr. Jackson is one of the leaders
on the republican side of the House, and his re
marks created quite a flutter in certain quarters.
The fellows who were in a hurry to get away,
however, had the powers of numbers on their side,
nearly all the democrats seeming to think that the
quicker a republican legislature adjourned the
better. As the days of the session draw to a close
the noisy, rough-and tumble element of the House
begins to assert itself, and members addressing
the House are frequently interrupted by cries of
"louder," "question," "orders of the day" and
other rude demonstrations that detrect very nineh
from tho dignity of legislative procz,ealugz.
On Thursday evening a special session was hold
to consider bilis on first reading, and about 120
were passed. After these were disposed of a mo
tion was made to take up and c•msider a bill on
second reading entitled "An act to prohibit
sheriff's in counties co-extensive in boundaries
with cities of the first - class, from appointing any
deputies to be present at any election polls." As
this bill only effected the powers of the democratic
sheriff of Philadelphia, the democratic side Of the
house immediately arose in noisy protest and de
clared that the motion was out of order. The
motion was put, however, by the speaker and
carried by a vote of 75 yeas and 52 nay o, where
upon the democrats claimed that it required a
two-third vote to bring up the bill. The speaker
decided that it required only 11 majority, and amid
much noise and (mansion the democrats appealed
from the speakers decision, and finally bppersistent
filibustering aueceeded in consuming the time of
the House until the hour of adjournment had
arrived and defeating for the present the colloid-
