The Cost, $85,000 for Doctor Bills.
The majority of the committee Ap
pointed to Audit the expenses Attend
ing the illness, death and burial of the
late President, have made a report
claiming that Congress may justly and
legally assume all the bills thev have
passed upon and allowed, as allowances
to the family of tho deceased President
to cover extraordinary outlay occaaaion
ed by public misfortune. After com
plimenting a number of army and naval
officers who were attentive to the com
fort of the President during bis illness,
the committee presented a bill and
urge its passage appropriating the sum
of $50,000 to Lucrelia R. Garfield, less
any sum paid to the late President on
account of bis salary a* President of
the United States ; to Dr. Blisa, *25 000;
to Drs. Agnew and Hamilton, each $15,-
000; to Dr. Reyburn, $lO 000; to I>r.
lloynton, SIO,OOO ; to I>r. Susan Kdson,
$10,000; to Wm. J. Crump. $3,000; to
the Secretary of the Navy. $lO 882; to
Wm. R. Spear (undertaker), $1,835 ; to
C. T. Jones, of Elberen, $1,082, and to
various merchants and other sums
ranging from fifty cents to SI,OOO. The
bill also provides for the promotion and
retirement of Surgeon General Barnes
and creates an additional officer in the
medical corps of the army, and pro
motes Joseph I. Woodward to that
position. This provision of the bill is
so manifestly irregular and novel, as to
give a ludicious appearance to the re
port. It is noticeable also that the
Congressional funeral excursion to the
tune of SB,OOO in which luneh, whisky
cock tail*, champagne, cegart and glove* fig
ured largely is not provided for in these
expenditures. They were Already paid
on a special bill, and therefore not
needed on this general bill submitted
by the committee. The excursion was
an outrage upon decency and the com
mittee has done the best they could to
conceal tbe indecency troin the public
eye. A minority of the committee re
fused to concur, and give their reasons
as follows :
The undersigned members of the
special committee authorized to audit
certain expense* growing out of the
sickneas and burial of tbe late Prewi
dent Garfield, respectfully dis-ent from
tbe report of tbe majority of the coin
mittee for the following reasons: We
do not object to the payment by tbe
general government of the funeral ex
penses of the Ute president, who w*s
stricken down in tbe performance of
his duties and because ol his occupying
a public station. Our objection to the
report of the committee grows out of
the recommendation for payment for
the services of the physicians and sur
geons who attended tbe late president
during his illness. The amounts re
commended hy the majority of the
committee are as follows: To Dr. I>.
W. Bliaa, $25 000; to Drs. Agnew and
Hamilton, sls 000 eaen ; to firs. Rey
burn and Bornton. SIO,OOO, and to Mrs.
Dr. Edison. SIO,OOO, miking a total for
professional service* of SBS 000. In ad
dition to this the committee recom
mended the promotion of Drs. Barnes
and Woodward with increased pay in
accordance with their promoted rank.
There was no evidenoe before the com
mittee. ex parte or otherwise, tending
to establish the character of the services
rendered or tbe value of such services.
Tbe undersigned were perfectly willing
to concede that liberal compensation
should be allowed to the physicians and
surgeons, a compensation in excess even
of what it waa possible for any of the
medical attendants to have earned in
ordinary practioe during the time. Bat
the sums recommended to be paid by
the majority of the com mittee are
deemed by the undersigned to be ex
oeaaive and out of pro|>ortion to the
services. No witnesses were called, no
evidence by affidavit or otherwise sab*
mi tied upon which the committee
oould base its findings. The conclusion
reached by the majority of the commit
tee waa therefore baaed upon such in
formation aa had been derived from
reading the newspapers, and doe# not
differ in tbe least from that every gen
tleman possesses who pays any atten
tion to tbe news of tbe day. Tbe un
dvriignrd krr of the opinion tliAt there
was no extraordinary me,dical skill ex
hibited in the treatment ol the esse,
and nothing calling for an cxtraordi
nary allowance for professional nervine* :
but, while willing to be liberal, they
oould not consent to the manner of
payment recommended, nor to the ex
travagance and wanton laviihment ol
the public funda. The undesigned
also respectfully protest ugainst that
part of the report of the minority
which recommends the promotion ol
Surgeon General Itarnes to a major gen
eral a rank and retirement thereunder,
and to the recommendation for promo
tion of Dr. Woodward from a major to
a lieutenant colonel, with the rank and
pay of the latter office. The under
signed are of the opinion that this com
mittee has no jurisdiction to make any
recommendations with regard to the
military establishment. The commit
tee could only consider such matters a*
were referred to them hy the resolution
of the house. The resolution authorise
ed us to audit certain expenses and not
to recommend promotions in the nnli
tnry service of the government. There
is no precedent, so far as we have been
able to learn, for congress assuming to
pay for the services of physicisns at
tending upon jiersons in civil positions,
but in view ol the circumstances of the
assault ujion the late president and of
the great interest of the people in his
recovery, the undersigned were willing
that the government should assume to
pay such sums for professional service*
<s might lawfully have lieen recovered
from the estate of the Ute president,
and were desirous of treating such
claims as claims against the estate of
the deceased rather lhan n properly
cognizable by congress. They were
willing, therefore, to appropriate to tli
eatate such portion of the unearned
salary of the late president na would
cover all such claim* ; but they cannot
agree that sums shall be appropriated
for professional services far in excess of
the value of such services, and which
sums are bottomed upon claims not
formally presented and supported by
no evidence as to the value of the ser
vices rendered. For these reasons the
undersigned respectfully protest against
the passage of the bill reported by the
majority of the committee and recom
mend the adoption of the following
resolution :
Rttolwd, That the report of the ros
jority of the committee, together with
the bill accompanying said report, be
recommitted, with instructions to the
j committee to require all persons having
1 claims cognizable by said committee to
I present accounts thereof, and to require
claimant* to furnish proof as to the
I value of services rendered or materials
furnished ; and in the case of allowan
ces for professional services as physi
cians or surgeons, to make such allow
ancea only as would be properly charge
able to, and provable against the e*t*le
of the late president, and to provide in
the bill, when agsin reported, such
further appropriation of unearned sal
ary as wnu'd cover the amounts audited
■ for such professional services.
All of which is respectfully submitted.

Tariff Revision
The lion. Abrsm S. Hewitt. who per
hap* employ* more labor in the minu
facturing industries of the country thsn
any other single man io the govern
ment, can apeak dispassionately and in
telligently on a subject he ha* thorough
ly studied from a practical point of view,
ia earnest as a member ol Congress in
hi* effort to obtain a prompt and imme
diate revision of the tariff laws, a* a
measure needed a* well to foster trade
at to relieve labor of unnecessary op
preasion. In this connection be re
mark* :
"The existing tariff was enacted a* a
war meaure, intended to rie revenue
at any co*t. It succeeded in it* pur|>o*e.
Today it produce* $150,000000 annual
ly tnore than i needed lor the national
expenditure. To that extent it impose*
an unnecessary burden upon the pro
ductive energies of the people. Or>vi
ously, then, It i the immediate duty ol
Congress to remove this excessive tax,
in order that the remuneration of labor
may be enhanced or that the market
lor it may be enlarged t the time when
it is threatened with restricted market*
abroad lor iM product* and restricted
employment at home. In reforming
the tariff I would select first the raw
| materials of industry and waste pro
ducu as proj>er subjects to be tr*n
•ormed to the free lit. This change
will lead at once to the extension of
many branches of busiues* and the es
tablishment of many new avenuus for
labor. No injury will be done to any
existing interests, because on thee raw
producis the Ireiglit is always sufficient
to compensate for the difference of the
rate ol wsgea pievailing in this country
and in the countries Irom which these
producis are imported. Manv of these
raw materials are needed lor mixing
with our materials, and indeed many
branches of industry cannot besuccea*
fully conducted without such admix
ture. Kvery pound of foreign material
thus imported will enable an additional
quantity of our own materials to be
used, and in this way the market for
these materials and the area for the em
ployment of labor will be greatly and
steadily enlarged. The abolition of the
duty on raw material* will then enable
ua to make a corresponding reduction
in the duties imposed on the manufac
tured product* of which they are a
component part. This reduction of duly
on the manufactured product will lead
to lower price*, which in their turn will
produce a larger consumption, whereby
tne area of employment will again be
enlarged. Notably in thia class of re
duction will be placed the manufacture*
of cotton, wool, iron, steel, and many
chemical products."

Why They Object.
When one read* the principles enun
ciated in the inaugural address by
Thomas Jefferson ho doe* not wonder
thnt the Hamiltonian Republican party
trie* to raise a cry against a Jefferson
ian revival. What Mr. Jefferson then
said tnay be hero given anil left to
carry its own comment. Hi* memor
able words were as follow ; "About to
enter, fellow-citizens, on the excroie of
duties which comprehend everything
dear und valuable to you, it is proper
that you should understand what I
deem the essential principles of our
government, and consequently those
which ought to shape its administra
tion. I will compress them within tbe
narrowest compass they will bear, stat
ing the general principle, but not all its
limitations."
"Equal and exact justice to all men,
of whatever state or persuasion, religi
ous or political; peace, commerce and
honest friendship with all nations—en
tangling alliances with none; the sup
port of the State governments in all
their rights as the most competent ad

of partiality and partisanship in the

because It is a fact 100 plain and palps

the federal government is making no

Judge Hluek on Ireland.
The great speech of Jeremiah 8.
Black at the firattan centenary in Bal
timore on Tuesday night has mudc a
profound impression throughout the
country, Ii was indeed a musterly pre.
seututiori of the condition of Ireland.
As to the duty of American people in
t lie matter Judge Black struck the key
note and thousands who have been in
different to the struggles between the
Irish ami their Knglish oppressors wilt,
on reading this address, lie moved to
the warmest sympathy for the persecu
ted children of the (Jreeo Isle. Judge
Black said ; "For seven centuries Ire
land has worn the yoke of jazlitical
bondage. The general notion is thai
Kngland and Ireland are united king
doms, but there is no real union, and
there never was. They are pinned to
gether with bayonets. Undoubletll.
much of tbe present trouble is direrth
cau-ed by the unnatural relations ex
istmg between the millions whose la'-m
cultivates the soil, and the landlords,
small in number, but great in powei
who stand ready to snatch away th.
truils of it as soon as they are gathered
You may say what you will about tbe
sacred right of property—nobody be
lieves in it more devoutly than I do.
Concede that these landlords have a
title which cannot now be questioned.
Assume that the owner of property can
rent it on the hardest terms he can
exact—• ill the existence of that gigan
tic monopoly, clothed with the privilege
of desolating a country Mnd starving
the industry of a people, is the saddest
• act in the history of the human race.
We must speak respectfully of Kngland.
The vast wealth of our commerce makes
it everybody's interest to stand well
with her. Her armies circle ibeearih;
her fl--eis cover every sea; the long
| reach of ber diplomacy perplexes where
I it doe* not control the councils of all
other states. We cannot hut reinem
'•er thai Chatham's language is our
mother tongue, and tbe great name ol
! Hampden ranks only second to that ol
Washington : nor can we forget lhal
1 the present monarch of that country is
a queen whose personal virtues have a
richer value than all the jewels in her
, crown. But these ministerial tools ola
greedy aristocracy, who have done and
i are now doing all that in them lies to
| oppre-s and wrong a people to whom
•they owe protection—are they fit to
govern! No, not live! If I had the
! voice of an 'angel trumpet tongued' I
! oould not st<eak their condemnation
| more loudly than the truth would war
rant. The speaker described the suf
'erings of the Irish people through
centuries of |<olitical oppression and
then went on to sav : "But what con
eern have we in this contest? Why
thould we be distorted! by wrongs winch
we neither suffer nor inflict? I anwer
that, situated aa we are, it is Impossible
! to restrain our sympathies or school our
feelings to the policy of a cld indiffer
; euce. The Roman dramatist said : 'I
mi a man and therefore in sll things
j human.' These Irish are not merely
human ; thy are not Tartars, Mongols,
; Chinese or negroes—far off and d- übl
fully connected with humanity. They
belong to our imperial race whose phys
ical structure, ni<-nt*l endowment and
, capacity for improvement put them
ever in the foremost rank of men
More than that—they are on* kilh and
kin; we trace their ancestors in the
; line of our own descent ; their blood,
j mingled with effluent streams Irotn
other source*, flows in our own vein*
But what can we do lor them? How
c-n we help them in this fearful strait ?
We have no right to come between
i Kngland and her •object* t>v any kind
of force or violence, tor that is prohibit
ed by the law of t>oth countries and by
treaty stipulations. But you have ways
well understood of giving innral com
fort and material a'd which break no
law. The most devoted adherent* ol
j the British ministry ark now bulged that
. the auceeas ol their Irish |milicv i more
endangered by your opposition to it
' than by all other cause* put together.
A land league merely Irish they can
easily repress, but a le-gue with its
root* on this sido of the Atlantic will
grow to be a |*>wer, not merely forimda
j ble but fatal to the ascendancy of the
; landlords. To mk thi* more inlelii
I gible will require • brief look at the
situation. The formation of the land
league, or rather the assumption of it*
present attitude, was a new era in the
! history of the contest. Agricultural
laborer* resolved that they would not
work for their enemies, and tenant*
said they would voluntarily pay no rent
without tbe distinct *s*urnce of some
i ermanent substantial relief to llie
country. Acting U|>on the precept of
the early Christiana to l>e*r one anoth
er'a burdens, they solemnly covenanted
that each should be supported by the
strength of all the rest. It was tbe
grandest labor strike on record. The
association was perfectly lawful. No
criminal design waa ever imputed to it.
Active assistance they would not render
to their adversaries, hut passive obedi
ence to tbe law they would yield when
they must. Nevertheless, it spreads
panic among lan<tlorda, middlemen and
oailiff*. The Land Act of 1881 and the
harsh treatment of the principal mem
hers of the land leafue were then discuss
e<l, the speaker finishing this branch of
hi* subject in the following striking lan
gusge; "Mr. Former and other* en
gaged in oommitting these outrages
uiler a shocking absurdity when the?
•ay that their ot.ject was to maintain
law and preserve order. They commit
crimes that strike heaven in tbe fane
and pretend to be doing it for the sake
of tbe law that tbey violate. Tbey
break the faith that holds the moral
world together, destroy all security for
personal rights, establish a reign of ter
ror ; end they call that social order I Is
not this a contradiction in terms and a
mere mockery of common sense ? The
Coercion net in not a Uw but a sentence.
A a (loom pronounced upon inriooeni
and ulwiit parti** without notice, hear
ing or trial, it was. of course, irregular,
unjust and unauthorised; hut at ■ll it
war, in it* nature, an adjudication
against particular peroons, not a rule ol
action."
On the subject of the imprisonment
of American citizens in Ireland, fudge
Black spoke aa follows; "American
citizens have heen kidnapped as barely
aa the Irish patriots. What will we do
ahout that ? I know not. But if we
submit to tlds insult we must acknowl
edge that Kngland is the master of In
land and America both. 11. on the other
hand, we call tiiat lawless power to a
proper reckoning she will see the ne
ceaaity not only of discharging the
American prisoners but ol making full
and ample reparation lest a worse thing
come upon her. Let no man fool you
into the belief that Kngland can law
luily kidnap an American without be
log responsible lor the injury. Listen
10 no scurvy politician woo tells you
that there is any difference in this re
• pent between aririlive and a naturalised
citizen. There is no difference—not a
particle. One has precisely tne same
right as the other to go forth unmo
lested over every sea and every land. So
• ays our own law ; so says the public
law of Christendom. What is to be tbe
final outcome of the struggle? It needs
no prophet to foresee that Ireland is
doomed to total destruction if she be
not supported and sustained by strength
outside of her own But if we, the
American people, shall perform our
luties fa>riy well, and if our government
snail not attempt to shirk out ol its
|iuldic responsibilities the hope is area
•unable one that some ol Us now here
osy live to see Ireland 'redeemed, re
generated and disenthralled."' In con
elusion .Judge Black said that Ireland
could not hope for complete indepen
dence. These two islands would never
be politically separated, and it was not
certain that they ought to be. But
Ireland should have local self govern
went.
A Cyclone.
A destructive tornado paused over the
northern part of Fayette county on
Wednesday of last week, carrying death
and the destruction of pro|>erty in lis
track. The Ireaksof the cyclone weie
lof incredible character. It traveled at
the rate of a mile a minute iri a north
erly direction, hut with many zigzags
ami oscillations, leveling and destroy
I ing every thing that came in contact
with it. At Tennsville it leveled the
Mennonite church, a handsome t.rn k
building. A hoy wa blown from the
! back of a hore more than one hundred
feel into the middle of a field, but was
Unhurt. The horse was probably killed
by flying scantling from the church.
I The air KM filled with fly mg fence rails,
part* of roofs, brick, timbers and debris
of all kinds. Another building. • stone
barn, was moved from its foundation
several feet, and hardly a vestige was
left of Mrs, Miller's cottage and or
chards. Win Lyon's house KM reliev
ed ol the porch as neatly as though
taken off with a saw. Scantling and
bricks were blown entirely through the
nmlding of John Detwilar. John Hun
daroff was lifted from his feet and car
lied a long distance and impaled on a
fence rail. Ilia injuries are fatal. At
Lunlelridge, John Winegrove was hurl
-1 ed from a wagon and badly bruised
igainst trees. His horses were killed
by falling timbers. He found his hou-e
l ruins, and his Wife dead fifty feet
from the house, with her babe clasped
in her arms unhurt. The clothing ol
his lour other children caught fire, and
! they were frightfully burned. Two,
uged fen and thirteen, will die. A hall
w s blown through a large distillery at
Broad'ord. ruining the building, which
I cost soOtmO. and spilling tic hundred
barrels of whiskey. Three persons were
killed outright and six fatally injured.
An idea of the terrible force tbal so
i eoropanted it may be imagined from
the act that some of the long snd
heavy sills or ground logs in the foun
datton of Mr. Bundoitt's house were
lilted info the air, carried several hun
, dred yards and driven four feet end
ways into the brow of a hill, where they
: stuck out lever like until dug out, and
from the circumstance that a brickbat
j was carried from the Disciples' Church
for two hundred yards and deeply im
tfedded in the side of Mr. Lyon's frame
•iwelling. The brick did not shatter
and spit the weather toarding, but en
tered it so as to make • clencut aper
ture, at if hurled from a cat -putt.

; I tea us hlleen and the Democrats sic
Congressional districts. This is nioder
ate, all thing* considered. The Kepub
lican Legislature ol Ohio might ha*e
done worse. But there is one thing to
be said of these gerrymandering appor
tionments: The |>eople frequently vote
in the orqiosiie way from which the
makers of the districts intended. The
existing Congressional apportionment
of Pennsylvania was made to give the
Democrats seven of the twenty seven
districts, and the ibing has worked that
way ordinarily, the present Democratic
representation m Congress being eight,
or one more than the |>arty allotment.
But in 1874 the tide of op|ositHin rose
o high as to sweep sway the gerry
mandera and send to Congress a majori
ty of I>emocrats from Pennsylvania.
Subsequently some of the strongest Re
publican districts have been carried by
|4>pular Democrats. Unless the present
Congress mends iu ways the Ohio sp
poruonment will not be of much avail
against the popular wrath.
