Bemarboble Speech by n Radical
Senator*
When the substitute for the Tenuro-of-
Office Bill under consideration Mr.
Sprague, Senator from Rhode Island, made
the followingremarkable speech. He said:
A few days ago he had expressed tho
opinion that the Senate, because of the pre
ponderance In it of men of one profession,
was not a body tit to exorolso control oyer
the President in appointing and removing
fmbllo officers, but in expressing thatopin
on he had carefully avoided reference to
any individual or individuals. The Senator
from Nevada, however, (Mr. Nye) had seen
lit to reply by a personal attack upon him
self, and had succeeded in getting on his
side the laughter of Abo galleries and of
some of his fellow Senators. Thiß being so,
ho (Mr. Sprague) felt justified in addressing
a few words to the people now in the gal
leries. They were representatives of the
Amerlcun people. He observed that they
wero better clothed thun tho masses—
(laughter)—but wbothor their dross covered
more virtue thun might be found under loss
gaudy habiliments ouch would bnve to judge
for himself, lie d'd not wonder that the
galleries laughed at his warning. The
teaching of the past had oducated them
to make light of serious things and had
mado them of a frivolous, thoughtless, sense
less disposition. They reminded him of the
idiotic inmate of u burning dwelling, who
laughed at ull warning and perished in the
flames. He would, nevertheless, repeat his
warning. The affairs of the couutry wore
being mismanaged and ruined by men of
tho class he bad spoken of before. The peo
ple of England wtmld not tolerate such a
state of things. The men who controlled
the affairs of England, Gladstone and Dis
raeli', wero not lawyers ; they wero tnon of
wider culture, with the instincts of states
men, fit to control the destinies of a great
nation. He had fell deeply interested in the
success of the Republican parly in tho pust
and had contributed to it, lie thought, as
much in character and a good deal more in
money than other Sonators ; indeed, he be
lieved that his, contribution of the latter
. kind bad been greater than those of all the
other Senators combined. When the war
br,oke upon the people without warning
und found them unprepared lie had been
among tho first to rush to the support of
the government; but now there was
a great danger pending and he fell
it his duty to warn tho people of it.— .
He rend a long account of the character and
career of the notorious Judge Jeffreys and
of the condition of England in his time,
which, ho said, was very like the condition
at the present lime. England at that time
was just after a revolution, and the count! y
was thrown under the control of despoptic
- power and Jetfro.VH was tho eager instru
ment. Four years ago this country had
como out ot u greut civil wur. Since that
time the great work of Congress hud been,
(nr should have b“in, to restore harmony
and prosperity to the country. How had
that work been curried on? Is there, he
askod, peace at tin-South?* Is there pros
perity or n m* mount mnobg the people
there? Are they not rather m a.slate of
chronie revolution ? Is there justice in the
land? Who that is ;i poor man dure attack

Of t ie citizen in this boasted laud of free

bad fallen >.il' du.ooP during the last year,
audit would continue to ndl oil, .because
the industry and agriculture of the coun
try were s. ( eiJcctiiiniy prostrated at the
Wo it that initnigraM.s could not find ro
numerutive employment, and if they went
to farm in the U’e.st ihey-Artuld not Hell their
pro lucts for enough to -upply th un with
ihe nect ssari.s of lilo. Whenever any <m*
in the Senai/> or elsewhere asked the rea
son depression of our commerce and
manufat'lun s lie was sure to bo met with
the answer that it was owing to the fact that
wo were not paying specie; but the real j
n ason whs ilmL the legislation and (lie ad
ministration of the government were so
shaped as lo encourage capital to speculate
upon every industrial occupation in the
country. If this course were to lie contin
ued in Jess than five years thorn would he
a clamor for a tarill' to keep out foreign
"cotton. Isut great as was the mismanage
ment of our national affairs in overy
department, the greatest abuses wero
In our linaticial policy. That policy
was directed and controlled by the
hunkers; they no doubt gave us good ad
vice as they could, hut experience had al- 1
ways shown that dealers in money know ;
■ little or nothing about the relations of,
money toother oecupaiions and interests. |
The bearing of all this upon the pend tug bill
was this: If the legislators of the country'
had done their own work so badly, how
could they dur<- to as-mne ihe powers und
duties of the Executive ul.-o? lie had in
tended to sny a f-w words about tho Tela
tious between liim>ell' anil certain other
Senators, by way of >iiowing the unlilnes
of the Senate to exercise a revisory power
over the acts of the President, but lie would
reserve them lor another occasion. Ho
must, however, before closing, sav a word
about tlie social condition of the eomdry,
winch, lie thought, was fpule as ImU us ihe
financial condition. The rich were striving i
lo be richer, and the poor were struggling ;
to imitate the neb, and in this struggle v:r- :
tuo was lost, lie knew somdhmg of the ;

The Ex.Prealdent nt Home—Bis Next
Public Dpty—Hla chances for tne Gov-
ernorship of Tennessee.
Greenville, Teqn,,Cor. Cincinnati Commercial
A. J. is now at home, eDjoying the sweets
of private life for the first time in many
yoar9, I say the sweets of private life; to
most men Buob terms could be aptly applied,
bat not so with the man I here reler to. As
I write I look out of the window, and right
down the street a littlo wav I see a plain
brick bouse. In this house are tho living
remains of Andrew Johnson. He is resting
to-day, but to-morrow be will most proba
bly go into his little office and straighten
that out. ‘‘After that, what?” Not a single
mun have I found in Greenville—not a sin
gle old acquaintance of his in all the crowd
Muturday did I meet, who believes that
Johnson will remain quietly in Greenville
for sny JeDgth of time. They all unite in
saying that he is of that energetic, restless
disposition which is never content unless
actively employed. Not one month, since
lie left the tailor's bench after his second
eloction to the Legislature, has he been out
of public life, and he is too old now to change
his habits. He may not get ofiice again
soon, but he has held all tho offices ut the
command of the people, from’Alderman of
a town of six hundrod inhabitants to tho
Presidency, and, of course, he can go no
higher. As he said in his speech yesterday,
lie hud been to the highest round in tii j
ladder, and togohigherisimpossible. Such
being the facts, it is not reasonable to sup«
pose that lie wants office ; but one thiug is
certain, ho wants excitement—tho excite
meut of public life. If be fills no position
himself, he will lend his voice upon the
stump to assist others, beyond any doubt,
if tho Conservatives make a fight the com
ing summer, Johnson will take an active
part in it. He can draw larger crowds than
any man in the State—no one denies that —
and he knows it himself. Although but very
few believe he will be n candidate for Gov
ernor, owing to the slirn chances of success
under the franchise law, yet nil believe that
bo will not let the summer pans by without
making a hundred speeches in ibis .State.
Tho Conservatives don’t want to put him
out on the gubernatorial course as a candi
date with so great odds hgaiust him, as is
now the case, for it would ue almost certain
defeat, no mutter how large a vote he might
get. This may look like a strange assertion,
hut according to the Franchise law, the
Governor has the power to strike out the
votes of all the counties but Knox, for in
stance, or any other. Suppose Johnson
should run. and should carry two-thirds or
three-fourths of all tho counties in the State,
whut would he the result? Simply this:
enough of Johnson counties would bo
struck out to elect his opponent, whoever
he might bo. Now, with any other candi
date but Johns'>n the Radicals would hardly
take so l> id a stop, but there lives not a man
whom they would not prefer lo .Johnson,
and it ho runs they will use all means to
defeat him. And they can do it, lawfully,
Loo, if wo consider the Franchise act good
law. It is very easy to strike out a dozen
c* unities or two, u inch mrght happen m give
Coiiser\ at ivh maioriiies.
A great deal—in tact every thing—depends
upon the decision ot the Supreme ■ our', in
the Ridley vs. Sherhrnok case, now before
it. If in that case the Supreme Court license
against the constitutionality of the franchise
law, nothing is surer—nothing human cun
be more sure —than that Andrew Johnson
will, if he lives, be tin* next Governor of
Tennessee, und then go into the Senate of
the United Slates. \Yi h the registration
system out of the way, and a free and fair
Iml lot lor til licit and white, lie would reci ye
Irom sixty to eighty thousand majority. I f
lie would stump i-he State *. igorously the
number would be swelled close up to a hun
dred thousand. .
'1 ho Nluvc Trade
Notwithstanding nil the efforts winch
have been made by modern civilization to
put an end to the slave trade, it seems, a.-*
fast as repressi d in nno locality, to make i’s
appearance in another, and sometimes in a
more aggravated form than evor before.
TbitH wo liud that the attention nf the
British Parliament lias lately la on called
by Mr. Fowler, one of tho members nf the
House of (.'ominous, to what he alleges is
I lie systematic enslavement of CatlYo chil
dren by tho Boers of tho Transvaal repub
lic, by whom ho asset Is that six thousand
CalVre children ore now held in slavery, the
result of raids cairied on against hostile
tribes. 'l’lie enslavement of tl:o>e chddnui
is declared to have been effected under cir
cumstances oi great atrocity, ami to have
have been in contravention of the treaty
acknowledging tin* independence of the re

MR. CA9S TO MR. BCCHANAN
Department of State, Dec. 12,15C0.
Si r—The alarming crisis in our national
affuira bus engaged your 6erious considera
tion, and in your recent message you bavo
expressed to Congress and through Con
gress to the country the views, fraught with
the most momentous consequences, which
aro now presented to the American people
for solution. With tho general principles
laid down in that message I fully concur,
and I appreciate with warm sympathy its
patriotic appeals and suggestions, what
measures it is competent und properfor the
Executive to adopt under existing clrcum-
Htan jes is a subject which has received your
most careful attention, and with the anx
ious hope, as 1 well know from having par
ticipated in the deliberation, that tranquility
uud good feeling may be speedily restored
to this agitated and divided confederacy.
In some points which I deem of vital im
portance it bus been my misfortune to differ
irom you. It ha** been my decided opinion,
which for some time past I .have urged at
various meetings of the Cabinet, that addi
tional troops should be sent to reinforce the
forts in the harbor of Charleston, with u
view to their better defence should they bo
• attacked, and that an armed vessel should
likewise be ordered there to aid, if neces
sary, iu the defence, and also, should it bo
required, in tho collection of the revenue ;
and it is yet ruy opinion that these meas
ure! should be adopted without the least
ueluy. I have likewise urged the expedi
ency of immediately removing the Custom
House at Charleston to one of the forts in
the port, and also of making arrangements
t< r u.o collection of duties there, by ha\-
ing u collector and other ready
to act when necessary, so that when tho
office may become vacant the proper uu
thority umv be there to collect the dutiosou
thy part olU.e United Stales. I continue to
think that these armngenieuls should bo
immediately rmuh* while the right and re
sponsibility of deciding belong to you. It
is very desirably at this perilous juncture
that there should be, as far as possible, un
animity in }*our councils, with a view to
safe and efficient action. 1 have therefore
felt it my duty 10 tender my resignation of
the office of Secretary of Slate und to n-k
your permNsii'ii to retire Irmn that official
association with yourself und tb" members
of your Cabinet which I have enjoyed dur
ing almost lour years without the occur
rence o! a single inc.dent lo interrupt the
personal intercourse which lies ».«* happily
existed.
I emmet close tins letter w ilhnul bearing
m3’ testimony to the zealous and earnest
devotion t • the best interest* nf the country
with which, during u term of unexampled
trials and iron tiles, you have sought to dis
charge the duties of .your high station.
Thanking you for the kindness and con
fidence you huvo not coused to manifest
toward me, and with the expression of my
warmest regards both for yourself and tho
genilt men of your Cabinet, I um, sir, with

inarched oil a few paces to the seaside be
tween a tile of soldiers, some of whom held
the rope with which her arms were bound,
, and she was then shot, that is, murdered in 1
■ the usual sivle. It may not be out of pl.-t- e
here to say that all the peoplo who were

unnecessarily to recount all the oiber exe

note is merely to illustrate the barbarity
under which tins civil war wus conducted
oil the rebel side, who pretend to bo, and
call themselves the elile and intelligence of •
the whole country. We do not know tho
exact number ol \ictims who lei! in the
prison, but to our best knowledge and be
lief there wen; one hundred aud nine per
sons, among whom were, they say, ten
women and one child. .Besides the above
murder in the prison, there have been, at
d’H'erent limes, a quantity of people shot, or, •
as it is called here, executed in conformity :
to the laws of the country ; but, iu point of i
Jact, it should be more properly termed
murder. The number who have thus fallen, '
outside ol the prison, we cannot, up to the
present hour, ascertain ; but it was a fre- '•
quent oocurience. When men in the revo- ;
Union desert, their wives ate imprisoned, ■
