George cruikshank.
The London fie:view has a pleasant sketch
of Cruikshank, in which the following pas
sages occur:
'Walking the Strand rapidly; or presiding,
it may be, at a teetotal meeting; or standing
upon Ids legs jauntily, amidst admiring
friends, at a club dinner, and returning thanks
for 'The army, navy and volunteers, may IN
seen a middle-sized, broad-shouldered man,
in age but yet full of vigor, sharp-nosed,
hawk-beaked, eagle-eyed; with small, firm
mouth, broad forehead and eager look,
equally expressive of work, wit, liumor and
readiness. That man, always remarkable
and distinguished in a crowd, began work
when nineteen-twentiOhs of the present
world were not born, when eighteen-twen
tieths were not even thought of, when the
fathers and mothers of much more than half
the living world were mere babies themselves
and when their grandfathers were boys. He
lived when volunteers were called out to re
sist 'that arch-fiend Boney;' Was a volunteer,
and drilled on the Kentish coast as a private
half a century before teetotalism was dreamt
of, and now commands as lieutenant-colonel
a whole regiment of teetotallers ! That man.
whose works would fill a whole room, and
whose etchings must have taken enougi acid
to float a ship, copper sufficient to bottom
her, and whose wood-cuts enough boxwood
to build her handsomely, lived in the days
when gas was not, and 'charleys' were;
when men and women were hanged by the
dozen; when Eldon pronounced judgment,
and Brougham pleaded as a junior; when the
third George was mad, and the fourth George,
afflicted with a worse madness, led the life of
a cockney sybarite, stung to fury by
very man's pencil; when the great Irish re
bellion was hardly quelled; when Curran
anoke with an eloquence never equalled;
when another Irishman, the great Duke of
Wellington, was fighting upwards to make
his ' name; and Gladstone, , Disraeli and
Cobden were unknown—that man is George
Cruikehank. _ _
"George Cruikshank first saw light about
the year 1790. He was the second son of
Isaac Cruikshank, caricaturist and engraver;
his elder brother, Robert, a follower of 4 the
same art, was once popularly known as the
illustrator of Coleridge's 'Devil's Walk' and of
`M. Tonson,' about the eccentric author of
which Jerdan discourses so pleasantly in his
autobiography. It seems to the present
writer observable enough that our caricaturist
had little or no instruction in that art in
which he has since become so distinguished.
He gained his knowledge by watching his
, father work, and once in his early life made
a drawing from a cast as a spe
cimen to obtain his admission as a
student of the Royal Academy, then
under the superintendence of the
learned Professor Fusel!. Fuseli's classes
were, as they were sure to be, very numer
ously attended, and when he received young
Cruikshank's drawing the room was crowded.
He examined the drawing, was very well
pleased with it, and sent down the following
characteristic message to the draughtsman :
"Tell him he must come up; but he must
fight for a seat." The young artist did fight
for room that evening, but engagements
which brought in money fully occupied his
time, and he neglected to go again. Curiously
enough, the second drawing for admission to
the Royal Academy as a student was made
not more than fifteen years ago, by the in
defatigable artist, who, mindful of Cicerj's
age_ when he commenced the study of
Greek, sought for admission at that
advanced period of his life to the schools of
the Academy,for the purpose of studying from
the life.
"For some years the artist himself has told
the present writer be 'lived on Bonaparte.'
Just at the outset of the expedition to Hassia
he . gave to the world a shrewdly prophetic
picture of Napoleon buried in snow. An
other sketch, wherein he had left the Empe
ror frozen, stiff and stark, and about to—
"'Fatten all the region kites,'
was not so successful, however, as its prede
cessor. Beyond thus working against the
enemy of his country, our friend made cari
catures for a satirical publication called the
'Scourge; and before ho had reached his
twentieth year published, in conjunction
with a literary friend named Earle, a hall
crown publication called the Meteor. But
this work died atter an existence of a few
short months, owing to the negligent habits
of .his literary partner. The principal eh irac,
teristics of his etchings at this time were
boldnese and power, free draWing and an
excellent knowledge of the use of the etching
point. His works were very pop , ilar, and
be supplied in himself the place of IL B. and
Punch..
* * "In the year 18 , 21, the 'mkt
planned a work showing the evils resultinz
from that process which young men call
'seeing life.' His brother Robert assisted
him in preparing a series of plates after the
manner of Hogarth's 'Progresses.' 1"o the
a story was written by Pierce Egan, but the
author entirely overlooked the moral aint of
the artist, and before the work was finished
George Crnikshank withdrew from it in dis-!
gust. It was called 'Life in London, or the
Day and - Night Scenes of Jerry
,Ilawtlawo;-.
Esq., Corinthian Tom and Rob Logic, in
their Rambles through the Metropolis.' Toe
platets - illostrating it were e,olored, and the
work was, amazingly popular. We wonder
how this could have been now,the letter-press
was so silly and vicious;, yet the book was
Scrambled for at the booksellers' shops, the
theatres dramatized it, and it was pirated in
America, where it had an extraordinary sale.
It was followed by 'Life in Paris,' which,
although it far exceeded the other as a .lite
rary composition, had not a tittle of its popu
larity.
"In 1825 our artist illustrated 'Popular
German Stories' and 'Mornings at Bow
Street.' The latter was, to a certain extent,
the offspring of 'Life in London.' The ahal
low-pated young men of thy day considered
that they could best exhibit their manly
prowess by imitating the actions of Corin
thian Tom and Bob Logic, and insulting and
upsetting the Charlies on all possible occa-
Mons. A Mr. Wight, formerly a Birmingham
merchant, was at that time reporter to the
Atorning Herald, and used to head his an
counts of these assaults with the words 'More
Life.' These reports were read with avidity,
and the circulation of the Herald was raised
by them from six hundred to seven thousand.
It was a selection from these that appeare.d as
'Mornings at Bow Street.' The illustrations
called 'A Cool Contrivance,' Jonas Tanks,'
'Bundling Up,' and 'A Dun at Dinner Ti:ue,'
are perhaps the best. In the same year
Cruikshank illustrated 'Hans Of Icelaud,' by
Victor Hugo, and contributed some few
plates to the now extinct Dublin Maga:in e.
In 1830 be produced the wood blocks. to Mr.
Wm. Clark's Ihree Courses and a Dessert.'
"Mr. Cruikshank furnishes the plates for
the 'Sketches by "Box,"' and for 'Oliver

passed. From his owrr face in a glass,
charged with the feelings such a creature•
might be supposed. to possess, he drew

acknowledged, and besides the. pvularity it
gave to the magazine, it hal the h nor of
furnishing a sobriquet to Sir Charles :Copier.
who from his hook-nose, fierce eye acid gen
eral resemblance to the print, was commonly
called 'Old Fat in.' His next toiChrtakinir
was to illustrate Mr. Ainsworth's 'Jack She:).
pard' , —a worthless and a dangerous work,
the parent of all the thieves' novels of to-day.
The smaller illustrations of Jack's Progress I
to Tyburn' and his execution, with their
multitude of figures, will bear comparison
with ballot's etchings. Our artist also inns-.
trated the Tower of London,' Windsor
Castle,' and the `Miser's Daughter.' which
appeared in Ainsworth's Magazine. The
title-page ofhis own periodical, the Omnibus,
is remarkable, containing a view of the
world with a multitude of people) on it.
* * * "Since the appearance of the
'Bottle' and its sequel, Cruikshank has illus
trated 'The Greatest Plague in Life," Whom,
to Marry,' and a work bearing on the
'crowds d state of London during the Exhibi
tion of 1851, called 'The Adventures of Mr.
and Mrs. Sandboys,' which was unsuccessful;
be furnished plates for Cassell's edition of
`Uncle Tom's Cabin,' which cannot be con
sidered bis masterpiece.. He has also illus
trated on wood Mr. Friswell's boy's story.
'Out and About,' which has passed through
more than one edition—a picture of a dead'
sailor on an iceberg being wonderfully effec
tive; and many other volumes, besides a con
siderable number of pictures of a teetotal
tendency, all of which possess great clever
ness, but many of which lack the fire and
.the fun of his earlier works. In 1863 he ex
hibited a 'Cruikshank Collection," which
was in Exeter Hall, and there, for one shil
ling, people might have beheld two hundred
and forty-two 'lots' of his work.
"Cruikshank is no painter • but, en re
vanche, he is the most admirable, etcher in
England; is complete master of his art ; is
the last link -of our old grotesque school
of cariacturists; is a well-wishing, active, no
ble-minded man, who has worked his honest
way, giving pleasure and instruction to
nearly three generations of his fellows. And
for this one hears, after all, that the artist has
been badly paid."

An Army Story AVoll"Told.
[From the Peoria (110Transeripti
"Lem" Wiley, the well-known cornet
player of this city, tells the following capital
army story:
The 77th Illinois, to which he belonged,
lay at one, time opposite Mobile, and, times
being dull, the boys in the fleets used to go
out and gather oysters. They would get a
skiff, take.off their shoes and stockings, pad
dle out to the flats, and after'filling their boat,
return hoine. One day two boys belonging
to the 77th were out, when a gale sprang up.
Row as hard as they could, they could make
no headway, and w,ere driven on shore
among the rebels, captured, marched through
the streets' of Mobile, and sent to Anderson
ville. Here one of them died, but the other,
a fellow from Kickapoo, in this
county, managed to 'escape one night,
but was shot in the foot and recaptured.
Though lamed for life, he managed to escape
a second time, and successfully made his way
to the coast. He wandered on until he came
to a fort guarded by gunboats, and, tearing
his shirt in two, he mounted half of it on a
slick and commenced waving it. He
waved it from seven o'clock in the
morning until four in the afternoon, when
the sailors on the gunboat 'saw him, and
putting out a boat, took him on board. From
there they hailed the first passing ship, which
proved to be northward bound, and sent him
to New York. Here the authorities, pitying
his emaciated condition and wounded foot,
offered him a sixty days' furlough, but he re
fused it, declaring that he wanted to go right
back to his regiment. Finally,they acceded
to his request. and sent him to New Orleans,
where his regiment was. When he reached
that place he found the 77th just on the point
of departure - for Mobile, and though he was
in no condition .for service, he insisted so
strongly on going that they took him with
them. He was with them during the final
attack and capture of that city. He wanted
to go in the night of the surrender, and was
deeply chagrined to find the order given to
halt two miles away, spend the night and
prepare for a grand entree on the next day.
Early in the morning he got up with his
"chum" and two other boys and hurried off
to the city as Boon as it was day. Those
whom he went with declared that he led
them all over the place, up one street and
down another. Dinner time came and
passed, still he showed no signs of
giving up, all of the time acting as though
rie were looking for something. Finally, at
one o'clock, his comrades told him that they
were tired and hungry and meant to go back
to camp. He responded, "come across the
street a minute and we'll go to camp." They
honied across the street, when the boy went
up to a well-dressed man standing on the
sidewalk, and fronting him, struck him a full
blow in the face, knocking him flat, and then
jumping on him with his feet, smashed his
nose. broke bis teeth, ruined one eye, and
would have killed him if the others hadn't
pulled him off. The by-standers picked op
the fallen titan, and washed the blood off,
while his assailant stood by. perfectly un
moved. When the man came to, he asked
the soldier why he struck him?
" Look at me carefully,' was the
reply, "and see." The man looked. "Did
you never see me before?" said the soldier.
"Never." • "Look again," said.he. "I don't
think I ever saw you before," was the reply.
,"Don't-you-remember," said the boy, "about
eight months ago, how two fellows, bare
footed and prisoners, were led through these
streets, ,and how you came up to one of them,
spit in bis face and tramped on his toes. I
was the fellow, and I watched you and
studied your face and turned around and
looked at you as long as I could see you, so.
that I could remember how you looked, and
I swore then that I'd come back to this city,
hunt you up and pay you back for it, and
I've done it." This is the kind of "grit" that
Illinois soldiers showed in the war. The
story is a true one, and the soldier is now
living in this county. He belonged to Com
pany IC
English and American Locomotives.
A writer in the London Herald, com
paring different kinds of railway apparatus,
gives, the following interesting account of
some of the peculiarities of European' and
American locomotives:
"In England we see the locomotive engi
neers, as a general rule, aiming at high speed,
as little complicatiOn as possible m the parts
of the engines utmost simplicity in all things,
perfection of adjustment and worktnanship,
and high boiler • preseure. Upon this last
point we may note that a few years since
fifty pounds to the inch was considered high,
now one hundred and twenty pounds and
one hundred and thirty pounds are ordinary
pressures, and on the North London line en
gines are being run at one hundred and eighty
pounds.
" France has slow speed and very heavy
trains; her engineers aini at large tractive
force, 60 not spare complication, use large
quantities of material, and couple numbers of
oriving wheels together, making,

country by the quiet: runninq of small trains,

and fourth lines of rails to accommodate the
traffic, at an enormous expense to the pro
prietary,, and which could have been avoided
if the trains had been worked as on the Great
Northern of France. The fuel for a heavy
train is much the same as for a light one, or
very little increased; but. in running double
sets of trains over double lines of rails the
wages are doubled, the first cost—that is, line
accommodations—is doubled, the number of
engines is doubled, whilst the wear of engines
and road is quadrupled.
"The American idea is cheap engines.
Their locomotives have their parts very ac
cessible, and they run them at fair but not
high speeds. The American engines have
special arrangements for clearing and light
ing the road, and for burning wood in their
furnaces. Notwithstanding the superiority
of English-made engines, not one of them
can run over Ameican lines with anything
like the speed, safety or endurance of their
own. Strange as this may at first sight ap
pear, it is easily accounted for, and the, ex
planation bears on the points we shall pres
ently bring forward. The explanation is
that the leading ends of the American engines
are snpported on four-wheeled trucks or
bogies, which, while giving a long wheel
base, and - consequently steadiness,
allows the
engine to travel on exceedingly bad roads,
and to traverse sharp curves with ease and
security.
- "The German engines go even slower than
the French. The quickest French lines are
those from Lyons to .Paris, and from Paris
to Calais. The proportions of parts of all the
foreign engines—particularly the German—
were very bad. For instance, the cranks in
many cases had double the quantity Of mate
rial necessary for the strength required, and
this extra portion so disposed as to be a per
petual tumbling weieht in their revolutions.
Of the Italian lines we know of nothing
special to bp said., -
"The Belgians run their engines at speeds
intermediate' between the German and
French; they follow a medium of English
and French make in their construction, and
their lines contrast favorably in their work
ing with many others on the continent. This
may be attributed to their being under the
general superintendence of an Englishman,
Mr. Cabrey.
"The Russians are much the same as the
Germans. Their engines are mostly of Eng
lish type; in some cases a cross between the
English and the American."

XLth CONGRESS.-SECOND SESSION.
CONCLUSION. OF SATURDAY'S PROCEEDINCIS
House at Representatives-
WASHINGTON, Jan. 18.—Hon. Wm. D. Kelley
hadthte floor.to-day, and made an able and elo
qUent speech in behalf of the repeal of taxes on
Industry, and against further contraction. The
following passages are of the highest interest.
Mr. Kelley said :
The war, endeavor to disguise It as we may,
(was an irrepressible conflict between two systems
of labor, one of which regarded the laborer as
a thing to be owned, and the other of which
recognized his manhood, kindled his hope, and
quickened his aspirations by opening to him
the avenues to all public honors, and which
sought to secure him, however humble he might
- be, such wages for his work as would enable
him to shelter, care for, and give culture to his
family. The triumph of freedom over slavery
in this contest was of inestimable pecuniary
value. But at the beginning of the war we were
unable to clothe our soldiers and sailors or pro
vide them with arms and ammunition of our own..
production. Most of the men who responded to
President Lincoln's first requisition for troops,
though newly equipped, were in rags when they
reached the capital. Our "boys in bine," after a
few days' exposure to alternate rain and sun,
were surprised to find themselves wearinx red
coats, and looking rather like English than Ame
rican soldiers. The prospect of war had flooded
the country with what Carlyle calls "cheap and
nasty" British fabrics, the warp and woof of
which were shoddy, and the Indigo blue of which
had been derived from logwood.
Every railroad company whose line runs north
and south was then suffering depression, if not
in actual embarrassment. Their condition was
not improving but deteriorating, notwithstanding
the fact that communities in the same latitude
can and should produce the same commodities,
and that the natural course of inter-State and in
ternational trade is across and not along parallels
of latitude. The Democratic) policy of stationing
"our ships and workshops beyond the Atlantic"
contravened these natural laws, and by com
pelling the people of the • North and
South to make their commercial exchanges
beyond the Atlantic instead of in our
own country had deprived the . roads from
North and South of business adequate to their
maintenance. 'They were single-track roads, and
a number of them had fallen into such danger
ous dilapidation as to to cause them to be re
garded as "man-traps" and "dead-falls." Yet
such were the healthful influences of active busi
ness and prompt pay in the irredeemable notes of
a somewhat expanded currency that many of
them, while reducing or extinguishing their in
debtedness, renewed and doubled their tracks
during the war, and all of them procured ade
quate motive power and rolling stock for any
amount of business, public orprivate, that might
offer.
• nAt the beginning of the war the iron of Lake
Superior was not an article of commerce, but at
its close the Marquette region was furnishing
one-eighth of the entire production of the coun
try: In I set we were dependent on foreign fac
tories for steel; but under the impulse of the war
we are manufacturing ordinary and Bessemer
steel In such quantities and of such superior
duality as to justify the hope that a few years
will enable us to compete in the markets of Cen
tral and South America with the nations on
which we have hitherto depended. At the begin
ning of the war the great western coal basin had
not been tested experimentally. Intelligent gen
tlemen from Indiana, Illinois, Missouri, lowa,
and Kansas, spoke of the wonderful coal de
. • posit, which underlies their respective States as
a matter of belief, or theory; but now every rail
road through those States has either provided
itsel: or is devising means to procure cars
adapted to the transportation of that cheap and
convenient fuel.
Thus did the country respond to the necessi
ties of the Government, and thus did the de
mend for industry created by the war,and prompt
pay by the Government for all that it bought
from its citizens, in irredeemable but well-secured
~ greenbacks though it was, enable the people to
respond promptly and amply tofits calls for men,
money and materials. Our progress was not, as
already appears, confined to the military direc
tion, but other branches of industry were also
quickened into life. At the beginning of the
war the. West. made no zinc or brass or
clocks or watches, and she depended on
foreign nations for sugar and molasses. Bat
now the zinc of Illinois and the copper of Mehl ,
. span, smelled by native fuel, is furnishing the
West with merchant brass that is perferred to
foreign by engravers. The town of Elgin, Illi
nois, which rivals the most beautiful New Eng
land villages, and which produces watches equal
to the best productions of any nation, has sprung
up since Sumter was fired on; and in Austin,
a suburb of Chicago, not yet three years old,
they make clocks, the brass, the glass, the en
' amel, the steel, and the frames of which, whether
simple or ornate, are all of native production,
and into which no particle of material enters
that has ever been on salt water or paid duty
at a custom-house. The inhabitants of the
town of Chatsworth, Illinois, did not number
two hundred at the close of 1863; they now
number nearly two thousand people, who use
t in their intercourse fourteen of the dialects of
1 Europe, and are producing this year nearly one
thousand tons of sugar from beet roots, and an
, amount ot molasses that will pay each laborer
I good wages, and for the coal consumed by the
whole community; and not only did we prove
ourselves able to clothe our army and improve
the material. texture and durability of its cloth
, ing, but we increased the variety and improved
our woolen fabrics for private wear so much that
we are able to enter the list with the most suc-
I cessful woolen manufacturing nations. Bat, sir,
that we did during the war add to our productive
power and realized wealth more than the prin
.
cipal of our debt is to my mind demonstrated
by the fact that though the taxes upon our
1 industry, trade, income, and the earnings of
our corporations, were heavier than now by
hundreds per cent., they were after the first
— yearof - tlie war, - or, from the time that green
! backs relieved the want of adequate currency,
paid cheerfully, because they were paid from
monthly or annual profits. Our people were
steadily increasing in wealth, every exchange of
property between them was for mutual advan
tage, and by increasing their wealth added to the
taxable resources of the country.
Mr. Chairman, so immensely had ready de
mand, the rapid circulation of commodities, and
prompt pay in greenbacks stimulated our' in
dustry that the amount of American productions
—agricultural, mineral, scientific, Or mechan
ical—that had been devoted to the work of de
, , structiou are thus shown to have been in excess
of the requirements for civil life in a season of
s prosperity, and certainly in increasing excess of
the production of former years.
Mr. Kelley then went on to show at length
how American industry had been stimulated
during the war. In the course of his argument
in favor of the repeal of taxes on industry,he used
the following language:
Gentlemen will say there can for the present be
no employment because the markets are over
stocked, and there is what political economists
often speak of, "a glut in the market." Sir, the
time has never been when the markets of the world
wore glutted. When that event shall come,
every home will be well. furnished and
every human being well clothed. A
superabundance of the necessaries of life cannot
exist while the urgent wants of millions cannot
be supplied. Our markets are not glutted. The
stock of goods of every kind in the hands of
merchants is unusually low, and there arc un
employed people in the country who need them
all and who would gladly labor for the means to
purchase them all. The wretch that shivers in a
cheerless home without food, fuel, or
adequate clothing; she who, ill-fed herself,
shares her last crust with her hungry
children ; and they who in the midst
, of winter are deprived of the prillege of toiling,
and as_titetr goods-are-thrOwn rudely into the
street, to realize a landlord's power when rent is
In arrear, do not believe that the market is
glutted. Nor is it. The disease from which we
suffer is not glut or plethora. Its seat is in the
functions of circulation. It is congestion pro
' • duced oy a financial tourniquet 'applied by a
* charlatan. That phrase, "glut in the market,"
involves a perversion of terms, and is used .to
express the fact that the masses aro from some
cause unable to consume their usual supply of
the comforts or necessaries of life. It does not,
as it implies,express the fact that there is an over
supply of commodities essential to the comfort
of man, but that there is financial derangement.
It is a convenient phrase for the theorist, a veil
used to conceal a fact the occurrence of which
should admonish every statesman that there is
something wrong in the prevailing practice of
government.
The author of the next treatise on populav fal
lecke should make "glut in the market' the sub
ject of a leading chapter; for they who use the
phrase invariably confound terms and designate
the consequence as the cause. Thus' the Irish
Republic, in the course of a very able article in
its Issue of January 4, says:
"From all parts of Massachusetts and Connec
ticut we have been receiving, during the past six
weeks, the very unwelcome intelligence that mill
owners and manufacturers were either contract
ing their prolluchig operations or suspending
them altogether. Running. half orquarter time,
appears to be the order of the day; while not un
frequently the engine fires are blown out and the
machinery left to rust in idleness. The cause is
obvious. There is little or no demand for goods.
The consequences are ' what we have already
stated. The hands of hundreds of thousands of
honest workmen are idle, and their children arc
ill-fed and 111-clad under the biting blasts of a
North American winter."
Let me point out the fallacy of this statement.
Fires are blown out and machinery left to rust in
idleness, not because there is no demand for
goods, but because throughout the South and
West there la 110 circulating medium with which
to effect exchanges; and the policy of the Secre
tary of the Treasury with the cry of the creditor
class for resumption have destroyed confidence in
individual credit. The proposition should be
stated thus:
"There is little or no demand for goods. The
cause is obviousi it is that the hands of hundreds
of thousands of honest workmen are idle, and
their children ill-fed and 111-clad, because mill '
owners and manufacturers have been compelled
to contract their operations and withhold from
laborers employment and wages with which they
would be able to purchase the products of the
farmer and manufacturer."
Mr. WOODWARD, of Pennsylvania, addressed the
Committee on the subject of the finances and the na
tional debt. Be scoffed at the idea that a national
debt was a national blessing. Debt was no more a
blessing to a nation than it was to an individual. The
great load of the national debt was standing now like
a hideous spectre in the path of Congress. It might
he well enough for a monarchy like England, but he
i trusted that the simple republican Institutions of the
country would not MN under the control of a moneyed
oligarchy. Everything that tended to the consolida
tion of power, of tmlitical power, was inimical to the
system of American liberty. Referring to the ques
tion as to how the principal of the five-twenties was to
be paid, he said that the gentleman from Massachu
. setts (Mr. Butler) was not faithful to the cause he
had espoused, when he admitted that the indebted
ness of the government Incident to the act of 18,2
must he paid in coin because it was contracted on a
specie basis. That reason would apply to the millions.
of private debts which had'heen paid in greenbacks.
Did not that gentleman know that the courts had de
cided that the act of lisba, the first legal tender act,
applied to all antecedent debt, public and private?
If Congress had power to make such enactment,
then cenainly the holders of the five-twenty bonds
had no more rig ht , to claim that they should be paid in
gold than all other creditors. So long as two species
of legal tender were kept up in the country differing
so much In value, he should vote for paying all debts
not expressly excepted in the cheapest of those ten
ders. It the most meritorious creditors of the govern
ment were paid in greenbacks, then in his judgment,
greenbacks were good enough for the bondholders.
But he did not believe that Congress had any
constitutional power to make greenbacks a legal ten
der.' lie knew that the courts of last resort in various
ltatcs had decided the act of ltdi (the legal tender
act) to he constitutional, So it had been. decided b 3
a bare majority of judges. The Supreme Court of
the United States had not yet passed on the (piestion.
So far, however, as the courts had decided; he fell
himself hound to consider the act as constitu
tional
Ile would, therefore, for the present, vote for applying
it to all debts, public and private*, but believing it to
be an evil example, destructive of that good faith
which should belong to all countries, violative of the
constitutional . rights of citizens, and not within the
delegated power of Congress, he would vote to wipe
all such stains out of the statute book. The effect of
repealing that bad legislation would be happy. It
woald take away the ugly question started by Mr. Pen
dletora because, instead of levelling the bondholders
down to other creditors, it would level the other cred
itors up to the bondholdere. It would bring the coun
try back to gold and silver. the constitutional Cur
rency. If the law were repealed by easy stagers, it
would occasion the country no shock., while if the law
happened to be knocked on the head by the Supreme
Court, the effects might be disastrous. Ile was in
favor of taking immediate steps for a gradual repeal of
a law that had done the country more dishonor and in
jury than any other enactment. After showing the
disastrous effect on the financial and industrial
interests of the whole country by the exclusion
of the Southern States, and by the legisla
tion in reference to them, he called upon the bond
holders and the (Akers of the sixteen hundred and
fifty national banks to be prompt to learn the facts he
had referred to. Those highly respectable and power
ful classes of moneyed men had heretofore for the
most part thrown their votes and influence in favor of
the dovotees of negro suffrage. Would they continue
to do so k Would the tinsel of epaulettes, or the
lighter metal of loyal speechee,still attract them in the
same direction l* If so, they might write "Ichabod"
upon their bonds and upon the walls of their banks.
In conclusion, he said that his constituents, who were
loyal to all the true interests and glories of the coun
try, were opposed to all schemes of repudiator, for
repudiation would be a stain which they would feel
worse than a wound. They demanded the restora
tion of the excluded States as white States and not
parti-colored; they demanded a repeal of the cotton
tax, and of all the laws depriying them of the im
mense profits formerly derived from cotton.
They wanted no restoration of slavery, and had no
thought of assuming the rebel debt, but they wanted
to live in union with the white people of the South, to
obliterate the hitter memories of fraternal; strife, and
to be co-workers with them in redeeming the credit
of the government by paying all its debts in gold and
titter coin, and in developing the great resources of
the country. All legal-tender loans. and reconstruc
tion loans, so-called, they would dismiss to the winds,
with each State fully restored, and with no miserable
test oaths. They would leave negro suffrage and all
other domestic questions to the unrestrained will of
their respective States. Thus lie represented his con
stituents as he believed they would have him repre
sent them.
Mr. DLAENE, of Mame, said that while the gentle
man from Pennsylvania (Mr. Woodward) seemed to be
a firth advocate of the policy of the resumption of
specie payment, he had implied that thegovernment
possessed the right to pay off the 5.2 J bonds with legal
tender notes, with no limitation on the amount of
those legal tender notes except the discretion of Con
gress.
Ile begged to remind that gentleman that in 1565,
at ter the negotiation of the first five-twenty loan, and
when the military situation was at the darkest and the
financial situation was proporthinately_discouragin4
Congress had to go before the country for a fresh loan,
and was met in all the financial markets of the
country with this declaration: "Your loans are worth
nothing if you continue to flood the country with an
irredeemable paper currency."
How did Congress meet that cry? By putting In the
loan bill of June 50, 1864, on which more than three
fourths of the funded debt rested, this important pro
viso, "Provided, that the total amount of bonds and
Treasury notes authorized by the first and second
sections of this act shall not exceed four hundred mil
lions of dollars in addition to the amount heretofore
issued, nor shall the total amount of United States
notes issued,. or to be issued, ever exceed four
hundred millions of dollars in amount." His point,
therefore, was that Congress had thus entered into a
solemn contract, and therefore by all the laws of con
tract and all the laws of honor, the government was
stopped from issuing a single dollar beyond that four
hundred millions.
Mr. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, inquired whether Con
gress had not in fact authorized the issue of more
than four hundred millions?
Mr. BLAINE said it had not.
Mr. LAWRENCE, of Ohio, suggested compound-in
tercet notes, which were legal tenders.
Mr. BLAINE admitted that the issue of compound
interest notes was authorized, but they were only
another form of interest-bearing debt, whereas the
phrase "United Statesinates" had a technical meaning.
Mr. HUBBARD, of West Virginia, adoressed the
Committee on the subject ofthe national debt. Ho ac
cepted the proposition that the public bonded debt of
the United States be paid and redeemed according to
law, and not otherwise, fully believing that if the law
be left Inviolate the public contracts will not be im
paired, nor the public faith be broken. , He argued that
the act of February 25, 1862, contained, nothing that
would justify the Secretary of the Treasury in tender
ing now to the holders of five-twenty bonds United
States notes in payment, because, though "redeems.
ble" in five years, they were "payable" only in twenty
years, and until they became payable, they were not
claims and demands. If he were met with the clap
trap question whether he was in favor of paying the
bonds in gold, ho would reply that he was in favor of
paying them according to law.
Long before they were payable the lawful money of
the United States would be, if the uation,were true to
its best interests, equal to gold and silver, and the
question would, therefore, have no practical bearing.
Any further progress in the policy of issuing United*
tutes - notes for the payment - ot - bonds - would - - only -
result in still further depreciating the currency.
He favored the withdrawal of national bank notes;
and the issue of legal-tender notes to an equal amount,
but not in the mode proposed by the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Butler). He much preferred the
plan proposed in Mr. Randall's bill, which provided
that the national bank notes received into the 'Treasury
should not be put into cirulation again, but that the
Secretary of the Treasury should issue legal tenders in
their place. The first step towards a safe and positive
financial basis was to decide whether national bank
notes pr United States notes were to form the paper
eurrewey of the country. It was manifestly impossi
ble that both should continue in circulation.
Mr. Axxisradaddressed the Committee In opposition
to the reconstruction bill, and then, at half-past four
o'clock, the Committee rose, and the House adjourned.
