SENATOR THURMAN visited Colum. bus, Ohio, on Saturday last, and was met at the depot by a large crowd of his constituent* and conducted to the Neil House. In the evening he was serenaded and responded to the com pliment in a half-hour's speech, of which the an abstract: My friends, it has been stated that every Presidential election is a crisis in this Reoublic, and", though it might be doubted whether in the past this re mark is so absolutely true that there was no exception to it, yet it must be admitted that in later years every Presi dential election, in fact has been in our affairs, and no one can tell bow long it may thus continue to be. But of one thing I think we may be absolute ly certain, and that is that the Presiden tial election of 1880 will be regarded, as long as the history of this country shall be read and studied, as a crisis in the Republic, and why do I say this ? lam not accustomed, it is not my wont, to magnify things. Why then do I say that this is a civil crisis in public affairs f Because, my friends, in my judgment, the election this year will go far to deter mine whether substantial liberty and substantial free institutions shall longer continue in America. Judge Thurman then spoke for some moments upon the phrase so often re peated by the opponents of the Demo cratic party, that "we need a stronger government." The meaning of this was that we should have a stronger na tional government to rule over the whole people of this country. The people should be content with the government, as it has existed for three ' quarters of a century, under which we j have flourished more than any other people. There are but two modes of | giving strength to a government. One is fraught with beneficence to the peo ple, and safety, security and prosperity to the State; the other means despotism over the people and ruin and ultimate destruction to the, State; the first is to so constitute your government and so i administer it that it will challenge and receive the affection of the people who dwell under it that they shall not mere ly obey it, but that they shall revere, j esteem and love it. A government thus supported by its people, whatever may be its form, however few may be the powers expressly conferred upon it, i* one of the strongest governments upon the earth, if not the very strongest. Such a government our forefathers thought they had ordained for the people of the United States, and such | a government the Democratic party ! has always advocated. The other mode j of strengthening a government is to : strengthen It merely by force—by great standing armies. This point was dwelt on at some length, and illustrations of the result of such governments were given by reference to the rule of Oreal Britiati in Ireland, the empire of Rus sia, etc. The application made of the principles underlying those two forms of government was that the former mode was that by which the Democratic party sought to administer the govern- • meat, while the Republican party re sorted to the latter mode. He concluded as follows s "Now, my | friends, in my judgment the great que* j tion which is to be solved is whether or no the strength of our government in the future shall come from the affection* of the people or whether it shall be that strength which despots, and despot* alone, employ." "There is much more," he said, "that I might speak to you about—of the necessity of reform, of the necessity of economy, of the neces sity of lowering taxes, and all those subjects with you are more or less fa miliar. But I promised you that 1 would not weary your patience, and I hope you will not allow me to weary myself." Again thanking the crowd, he retired amid enthusiastic applause. PETER HERPIC au inventor.

LETTER I ROM WAEHOfOTON. From oar repilsr Correspandtb t- WASHINGTON, D. &, April 2FL, 1880. The turifl' agitation aroused by the pa per manufacturers' combination, which took form in tho bill of Mr. Townshend for the repent of certain duties on arti cles entering into tlo manufacture of paper, and which waa barely repressed when carried to a vote in the llonae, ia daily assuming fresh itrength in Don gross. Tho indications are that the tariff reformers will make an aggressive fight in their efforts to secure a revenue tariff in lieu of the present protective system, as well as a revision of the laws relating to internal revenue taxation. These reformers have not strength enough at present, in the House, to compel the Ways and Means Committee into any particular course beyond get ting, say wood pulp, put on the free list, and thus enter a wedge for the de sired general revision of the revenue system in the near future. Hut tliey are determined to inaugurate a bitter contest between this and the adjourn ment in July, and will make things lively for the protectionists, if not given what they want. Their recent motion to instruct the Ways and Means Com mittee to report aamendments was de flated upon a joint order, but it serves to signify that they are in earnest, and will use every parliamentary effort to accomplish their ends. The Geneva award furnishes rather a good exemplification of the old saw that "money is the root of all evil." Here are millions of dollars put into the Treasury by the British government, in indemnification for certain losses by individual Americans through Confed erate pirates. But everybody wants the money, and the rub is to find out who shall be the lucky recipient. The insurance companies claim it, and cer tainly have able advocates on the Sen ate floor in their behalf, who, like Mr. Carpenter, present magnificent reasons why they should bo given the lion's share. By the way, Mr. Carpenter has, in other Congresses, been averse to their claims, but now he is their attor ney, and his argument in their support is worthy of his reputation as a most brilliant lawyer. While we accept hjs former views as to the impropriety of giving these moneys to the insurance companies, yet his speech this week nearly suffices to convince us that it matters not which side a gifted orator supports, it is the right and just one. i Mr. Blsine arraigned him on his record, and said : "It is not for me to impugn ! his right to change; but the Senator should not rise here and preach to us , in a dogmatic strain about our duty to ! follow his lead to day, when on five, or possibly six, distinct calls of the vets and nays, running over the period of fourteen months, when be was in the Senate for his first terns, be voted every time in the teeth and face of the decla rations which he lays down to-day as i his views of national dnty." The con test between them was an interesting ■ one, but Mr. Hltine undoubtedly todk 1 the scalp. All the other leading Sena tors are taking a hand irj the debate, and we doubt whether a better presen tation of this important question will : ever be made than that to be found in the pages of the IbttgrcMionol Jtecord of this week. Now thai the Senate has passed the Army appropriation bill, with its mar- ! shalahip rider, we are anxiously awaiting the President's action upon it. Will be I veto? is the leading question today, but it is generally thought that he will i approve. One of the undesirable customs of the IW>tte is that of permitting a member to publish in the Congrcuiomtl Jiccord an undelivered speech, for, under it, , i the most objectionable of matter gets ; spread before the country as pari of the actual debates. In the Jtecord of the 2-ind appear* a poem, a travesty on poetry, covering 16 of its pages, which I purports to be a speech of Mr. Downey, ' the delegate froin Wyoming Territory, I in support of a bill to provide oertain paintings for the Capitol. Downey is n ; sweet-scented youth, who delights In i blonde, ambrosial curls, a pale complex ion. and other indications of a nonde script effeminacy, and we cannot imag ine it |KMsible for him to offer better evidence of the need for his immediate admission into Mr. Corcoran'sluxurious • Louise Home," the palatial asylum erected by him for indigent widows, than this official "pome," entitled the "Immortals." Many of the .Solon* ex pfess themselves as being greatly scan dalised, and Mr. Morrill promptly in troduced a resolution in the SenateTook ing to the exclusion of the objection able document from the permanent Qnipwtsional Jit cord, and Mr. Garfield took similar action in the House. We think, however, it should remain there as a monument to the memory of Dow ney, the immortalised poetical spooney of Congress, who has written for him self what Dogberry wanted others to write him. One of the Indian delegations here is being pet in a new role. The Indians are invited as guests into the parlors of our cithsens, and a portion of the even ing's entertainment consists In listening to Indian songs, some of which are ac companied with dances in true a bora in ai style. The site for the new Naval Observa tory has not, as yet, been selected, though the designated committee for the purpose has quite n number of de sirable places under consideration. The difficulty delaying selection does not lie so much in finding a suitable site as in meeting the exorbitant price* demand ed. Uncle Sam always has to pay more than the citison for what he wants, and in this instance the old stdiy is repeat ed, that be mut give twice tho worth for the acre* peeded. Frux, Reason* for Nominating Hancock, Prom Ik* Mo* Oritanl Pit-ayiW. A pamphlet just issued given fourteen reason* for the nomination of Qen. H sn ook by the Democratic National Con vention. These are BO well expressed that we oannot do better than to pro duce them here: 1. He is a true exponont of Democratic theories and Democratic principles. 2. Ho has filled to the fullest measure the duties of a well rounded lite, In which are singularly blended the highest type of the A merienn soldier and the splendid exempli fication of tho civic ruler. 3. He maintains the subserviency of the military to the civil authority. 4. He is, personally the most popular man of the nation. 6. llis nomination would secure thou sand* of votes from Union soldiers who would support no other Democratic candi date. 0. His nomination would harmonize the contending factions in New York. 7. He can carry the .State of Pennsylva nia. . 8. His nomination would create such en thusiasm In tho South as to render the result in ovory State beyond doubt. (i. His characterand record are such that in no possible event could ho be put on the defensive. 10. His nomination would antagonize no section of the country, nor portion cf tho Democratic party. 11. He, better than any other man living, can allay the passions of civil strife, drive sectionalism out of politics and forever end tho "bloody shirt" crusades. 12. His entire life is an earnest that ho would call none to his counsels but those on whom the country could saftly rely. 13. Ho combines more elements of strength and availability than any other nnmed in connection with the Presidency. 14. If elected be will take his scat. It would be difficult for the most ex acting critic or the most confirmed scep tic to find any flaw in this array of rea sons. Taken separately their truth can hardly be questioned. Taken together they ought to be conclusive. Two of these reasons are peculiarly forcible—tho sixth and the ninth. That Gen. Hancock's nomination would unite the Democratic party in New York can not he doubted, lie would not only unite it, but be would create an enthus iasm which would cause all former differences to lie forgotten, and which would assure the vote of the State at tho November election. To make New York sure it to make the election sure ; so that the nomination of Gen. Hancock would be equivalent to an election. !t '• of especiaMmportance too that ; the Democratic candidate shall be one who cannot be put on the defensive— one in whose character or history there is no weak point—one who cannot be assailed for any act or speech calculated to cool tho ardor or alienate the support of a single Democratic voter. In short. Gen. Hancock seems to be the only man that entirely fulfills all the oonaitioin required in the choice of a Democratic candidate. I.et him be the nominee, and the people ol the country will vote for him with the perfect assurance that he will be the next President of the United States. LoaUiauu.
