NEW PUBLICATIONS*
T. B Peterson Brothers have just " pub
lished a new and enlarged edition of , "Cbin
stock's Elocution." The study, of'elocution
has become almost universal
,in A.meiican
schools, and practical works upon the tise of
the voice and limbs in public' speaking are
much needed. Dr. Comstbek was one of the
first teachers of elocution in this part of the
country who reduced his method to definite
fain, and his system, as it now stands com
plete', covers the whole ground of vocal gym
nastics, treated in a practical and easily
intelligible form. The enlarged , e4ition
contains a larg'e collection of prose and•poe
try, selected and arranged by Mr. Philip Law
pence. Mr. Lawrence has brought together
a rich store of the best specimens of the best
English and American poets and prose
writers. Teachers will find this collection,
together with the practical instruction of Dr.
Comstock, of much real value. The system
of elocution is copiously illustrated by cuts,
which are a great assistance, both to the
*teacher and the pupil.
"My Son's Wife" is a reprint of a new
English novel, just published by T. B. Peter
son and Brothers. It is by the anthor of
"thugs," and is a capital romance. - The plot
is neither intricate nor very difficult to anti
cipate, but the characters are all finely drawn,
and many of the scenes are described with
Feat power and with a close fidelity to
niture. Gwennola, stormy, headlong, man
nish as she is, has many a counterpart among
real *amen, and Ellinor Ruthven, "tender
and true," is a lovely character. The de
acription of her grief at the death of her
father is very life-like. Mrs. Tressylion,
Michael and Tredgar are all ably well sus
loaned throughout the story, which is cer
tainly well worth reading.
"Tiger Lilies" is the name of a handsomely
printed novel, lately published by Hurd &
Boughton, New York. It is by Sidney
Lanier, of Georgia,and opens with a reference
to "the great tree Ygdrasil," garnished with
an explosive "Himmel ! Cospetto !
Ciao 1" that frightens . the reader with the
idea that another St. Elmo is upon him.
'Fortunately the alarm proves to be a false
one, and the story turns out to be a tolerably
sprightly story of Southern "chivalry." It is
strongly tinged with the pet sentiments of
the "sunny South," and finally disappoints
the reader by straggling off into the doings of
a party of elegant rebel bandits, during the
war. For sale by J. B. Lippincott & Co.
The Rebellion is being glorified in every
form and grade of romance. "Randolph
Honor" is one of the latest efforts in this
direction, just published by Richardson &
Co., New York, and for sale by J. B. Lippin
sett & Co. The heroes and heroines all have
ine names, such as Ruthven, Lionel, Ran
dolph, Fadette, and the like. The rebels are
all prodigies of valor, and the only wonder is
that the rebellion should ever have collapsed,
while such giants as these were in the field.
The scene shifts from Baltimore to Arkansas,
- and the - rebel-invasions of Missouri form a
large•part of the staple4of the book, which is
not remarkably clever.
T. - 13. - Peterson & Brothers have published
the eighteenth volume of their "People's Edi
tion" of Dickens. It contains "Hunted
Down" and a large number of fugitive pieces
by Dickens. • Only one more volume remains
to complete this handsome edition of Dick
ens's works.
Messrs. Peterson & Brothers have also is
sued "Gtiy Mannering" in their edition of the
Waverly novels for the million, complete, for
20 cents! and "The Holly-Tree Inn and
Other Stories," complete, for 25 cents.

Indian Raids and Atrocities—A Chap
ter of Horrors—kight Women and
Children Murdered and Scalped or
Taken into Captivity.
[Correurondenco of the N. Y. Times.)
SAN ANTONIO, Texas, Thursday, February
24,1868.—T0 the San Antonio Daily Herald
and Dr. - Hardin Outman, of Elano, I am in
debted for the most of my information of this
Most dreadful outrage.
The sun was setting on the evening of Sun
day, February oth, as an Indian rode `up to
the house of Mr. John S. Friend, on the San
dies, in the extreme southern part bf the
county of Elano, Texas. From his horse he
peered into the house through the open door.
Ile saw only women and children, and rode
back in the direction he had come for the pur
pose of reporting to his band. A short time
previous to this, a daughter of Mrs. Caudle,
aged eight, and a son of Mr. Friend (about
the same age), while playing near the house,
saw an Indian driving off a horse, and
immediately gave the alarm. At the
house of Mr. Friend were the following per
sons: Mrs. Friend, two Mrs. Johnson, Miss
Townsend, aged 16, and four children, the
two mentioned above, and the children of
the Mrs. Johnsons, one eighteen months old,
and the other three years. When the wo
men heard of the presence of. an Indian in
their neighborhood, the news was considered
of so much importance that they all went into
the yard for the purpose of seeing for them
selves. To obtain a better view of the sur
rounding country one of them got upon a
fence. The latter was the first to discover
the approach of the Indian in the direction of
the house. A short time after he returned
the whole number (fifteen or sixteen) made
their appearance, and rushed into the yard
and house. One of the Mrs. Johnsons
seized a gun, which was taken out of
her hand by Mrs. Friend, who presented it at
an Indian, but before she could fire the savage
closed upon her, and, wresting the' gun out
of her hands, attempted to shoot her, hut the
courageous woman seized a chair and struck
the Indian upon the arm, causing the gun to
fall from his hands. Ile tnen fitted an arrow
to hisibow and shot her through the arm,
when :Mrs. Friend seized a flatiron and struck
him with it upon the bead, causing the In
dian to stagger, but instantly recovering, the
brute shot her again with an arrow which (to
use the words of Dr. Oatman) "struck near
the•posterieranti lateral , edge of the right
mamma;, glanced around the bony walls of
the chest and came out through the
lower and posterior edge of the right
xaaninrk." This caused the poor wo
w= to fall, apparently dead. The
aim was undoubtedly taken at the heart, but
missed, 'probably on account of the arrow
being partly broken near spike and wrapped
with thread. The Indian now knelt near Mrs.
Friend, drew his knife and commenced scalp
ing her. The pain of this operation restored
her to her senses, when she seized the knife
with her right baud and endeavored to wrest
it how him, but in vain, the knife being
drawn through her closed hand, cutting the
fusers to the bone. This act was repeated
three times with the Bams result, the Indian
continuing scalping. Re, took three scalps
from • her . head, twd 4 abotft two , inebtet
wide and three Welles long, and the other
about half :"!the size. ; The knife; mast
have been Very dull,. Mrs. Friend thinks. Not
satisfied with this, the Indian cut off 41'144,
wounded her several times on, other portions
of ,her bead, and Worked the arrow several
times through the wound. This was, done,
probably, to see whether any life remained in
the body of the unfortunate woman; but Mrs.
Friend, though keenly sensible of all, feigned
death so well from the time that she found it
was useless to contend with the savage, that
she uttered no cry or changed a muscle to
show that she lived. This was her only hope
for life, and she knew it, and braved through
an ordeal terrible enough to make a strong
man tremble even at the thought of so much
agony..
The Indians plundered the house of all
movables of value, and left, taking with them
the remaining women and children. Mrs.
Friend said that the wailing of her boy was
harder to bear than all she had gone through
that terrible evening; but oven for him sue
knew it was useless to show signs of life, as
nothing would then have saved her from
death. When they were all gone, and the
sound of their voices lost in the distance,Mrs.
Friend arose and walked and crawled to
Widow Johnson's house, about a mile and a
half distant. The widow was absent from
home,but in the house was a man,his wife and
four or five children. Mrs. Friend was cared
for, and her wounds dressed as well as un
skilled hands and kind hearts would allow.
After 'binding up her head and extracting the
arrow, the man took his family , into the
bushes for the night for safety. Mrs. Friend
preferred remaining in the house, and in the
situation in which I have described her, she
lay and suffered all night. Surgical aid was
not, procured for the poor creature until
twenty-four hours ttfter the wounds were
inflicted. She was doing well at last accounts,
and hopes are expressed that she will re
cover.
The country around is sparsely settled, and
all the meti were absent from Mr. Friend's,
On the evening following, Mr. Townsend, the
father of the young woman mentioned above,
and several others heard of the attack, and
preparations were at once made to follow up
the trail. It _was first discovered by Mr.
Townsend on the side of Cedar Mountain, in
plain view of widow Johnson's house. I may
as well mention here that this house was not
visited by the Indians.
Near where the trail was first struck, the
youngest child was picked up, murdered and
scalped in the most brutal manner. On the
morning of the 7th the pursuit commenced in
earnest, a force of fourteen men having as
sembled for that purpose. Not more than
fifty yards from where the first child was
discovered a second was found murdered,and
was brought in immediately.
The trail led across Cedar Mountain some
three or four miles to a place called Gamble's
Gap, and here the scene most horrible of all
in this horrible tragedy was enacted. Both
the Mrs. Johnsons were found dead a few
yards apart. The intestines of one of them
had been eaten out, it is supposed, by the
swine, and the flesh had been torn off the
limbs and face. The other was found lanced
through the heart. She was enciente, and
the brutal abuse undoubtedly brought on par
turition, which was taking place at the time
of her death.
On the day following, the father looked
upon the dead body of his murdered child.
Miss Townsend was found dead near the
north base of Hudson's Mound, in Blanco
county. Her throat was found cut, and her
head beaten in a horrible manner.
The trail led the pursuers through the Ca
manche Spings' Settlement, where they found
that the Indians had captured and carried off
several horses in that neighborhood. The par
s suit was continued to the top of Pack-saddle
Mountain,in the southeast part of this county,
and given up in despair. The son of Mr.
Friend and the daughter of' Mrs. Caudle have
not been found. It is hoped that they.are not
murdered, but taken into captivity, thus hold
ing forth a prospect of their bereaved parents
beholding their children again in life.
The Duties or tinier Justice Chase
♦while Presiding in the Senate.
[From the I3oston Advertiser.]
WASIIIIWTON, Thursday, March s.—The
leading theme of conversation to-day in poli
tical and Congressional circles has been the
action of the Chief Justice rather than the
impeachment of the President. His letter of
yesterday was generally looked upon at first
as presaging mischief of some kind, and the
fact that be followed it up by sending a letter
this morning to Mr. Pomeroy, saying sub
stantially as was reported that he did not
intend responding to the summons of the
Senate to organize a Court of Impeachment
until it suited his own convenience so to do,
gave rise to much anxiety and many startling
stories.
Ills friends furnish the following explana
tion of his conduct: It seems that when the
Senate Committee to prepare rules first met a
week ago yesterday, it was suggested that it
would not be improper to consult with the
Chief Justice preparatory to drawing them
up. This suggestion was favorably received,
and Messrs. Howard and Edmunds were
asked to see and talk with Mr. Chase. They
called on him and were cordially received.
He stated, when they mentioned their busi
ness, that he did not think it best for him in
his official capacity to assist at that time in
preparing the rules. The view was concurred
in by the two Senators, litifirthereupon fol
lowed a long informal talk `uponthe sub
ject. The fact was very soon developed that
the Senators, and particularly Mr. Howard,
differed greatly and radically from the Chief
Justice as to his rights and privileges while
sitting as a member of the Court of Impeach
ment He took the round that the Consti
tution, in making him the presiding officer,
conferred upon him the right to vote on all
questions that might arise during the trial,
though not on the final question of guilt.
This opinion was controverted by . both Sena
tors, and strongly combatted by Mr. Howard
—they holding that the duties of the Chief
Justice are simply those of a presiding officer,
and that he has no vote at any stage of the
proceedings. It is not necessary to say that
neither Mr. Chase nor Mr. Howard con ,
vinced the other, and the conference finally
broke up with the understanding on Mr.
Chase's part, as he says, that the Senate Com
mittee were to draft their rules and further
consult with him before reporting them to the
Senate. Mr. Howard did not understand that
there was to be another meeting, and says,
indeed, that it would have been entirely
useless, as the Chief Justice demanded
a concession that the Committee and the Sen
ate would never give. It is a fact, however,
that no further consultath3n- did-take -•place,
but that the rules were prepared, reported to
the Senate, and, after amendment, agreed
upon.
The Chief. Justice felt or assumed that he
had not been treated falrly—in a word, that
he had been snubbed; hence the letter- of
yesterday morning, which he wrote without,
so far as can be learned, consulting any lead
ing public Wren. This document created so
much talk and doubt that he was visited by
various friends last evening. He protested
that there was nothing more in the letter than
appeared on its face, and somewhat indig
nantly denied the stories to his discredit that
were circulated in connection therewith. He
spoke during the evening of his duties at the
THE DAILY EVENING
BULLETIN,-PHILADELPHIA, MONDAY, MARGIT 9, 18f,S.
,
,Suprocte COurt, and saki that it was expected
tollialsh-arAument in the McArdle else to-day,
Viand the
that he could not be in'he Court
and the Senate Chamber it the same time 7--
he haraly knew how to getllong.
This morning at an earl hotir, sent' a
letter to Mr. Pomeroy, of ' the , Senate
Committee as well as one of vuost intimate
friends, in which he spoke Cer, his duties at
the Court, and said he could not , ,answer the
suamons of the Senate; not suppose a
day or , two would make any great difference,
and intimated that perhaps he could be present
to-morrow to organize the Court of Impeach
ment. It has not been possible to get a copy
of this letter, but its substance is furnished by
a member of the Committee before which it,
was laid by, Mr. Pomeroy. As soon as the
general tenor of this letter became known,
Senators on intimate terms with the Chief
Justice went to him and remonstrated with
him in earnest terms. It is stated that he again
protested against the prevalent disposition to
misinterpret his action, and after a little con
versation said that he had reconsidered his de
termination, would adjourn the Court, and
might be expected at the Senate Chamber in
due season.
Thomas Noon pkifonrd—liis Traits
Mr. Iloward Payson - Arnold has made a
collection of foreign sketches, originally con
tributed to the Boston Pose, entitled The
Great Exhibition," and published by Ilurd
Houghton. Among the stories of English
literary men which he tells we quote the fol
lowing about Thomas Noon Talfourd, who
was equally distinguished as a dramatist, as
a reviewer, and as .a lawyer. He says :
"Talfourd himself used to drink a deal of
port,and finally died of apoplexy. He needed
a perpetual stimulus of that kind, in conse
quence of the demand upon both mind and
body which his professional and other labors
were constantly making. I have known him,
in the prime of his career at the bar, to make
an argument of perhaps three hours in an im
portant case, another of an hour and a half,
and still another somewhat longer on the
same day. Between each two, he changed
his linen, drank a bottle of port, and ate a
hearty luncheon. He was so much fatigued
with his exertions,that he really needed pow
erful stimulants to keep up his strength,
and yet no man could go through what he
--did withoulbreaking. down eventually._
was very eloquent, and could carry a jury with
him to almost any point he chose. I heard
him on one occasion make a superb argument
in a case where his client was suing a man
who bad injured his horse by hard driving and
cruel treatment. He obtained ample damages,
but I dont't think he spoke ten minutes about
the horse. By some strange deviation he soon
wandered from the subject, and, for over an
hour,devoted himself to the horrors of African
slavery. It was the most stirring,energetic and
masterly speech on that matter which I ever
heard. .
"His income as a lawyer was enormous,
and when he was removed to the bench it
was ,E 5,000; so that he was able to extend to
all his friends the magnificent hospitality
which was so much to his taste. His posi
tion was a splendid one, and he was a sort of
Mrecenas to both literary men and lawyers.
He was successful in each of those careers,
and bad not been obliged to bid farewell to
his muse, like his great predecessor, Black
stone. In his early struggles, when his
father's ruin had blighted his prospects, be
had to rely upon his pen for support, and his
literary reputation had kept pace with his
legal advancement. Any writer might be
proud of his works. He was one of the
very few men in modern times who were
- thoroughly imbued with, the spirit of ancient
Greek poetry. He had a wonderfully delicate
perception of its beauties, and in this respect
his mind was touched to the finest issues. His
tragedy of lon might-almost-have come-from
the hand of Euripides himself. Its author
was perfectly infatuated with it, and used to
attend whenever it was performed, though
miles from London, if he could possibly find
the time and means to reach the place. He
would sometimes even take the express train
to Liverpool,when lon was on the boards,and
return the same night, after the performance.
He would invariably applaud profusely, even
when the acting was bad, and never failed to
show a demonstrative approval of every one
of its noble sentiments. He deeply sympa
thized with the hardships of those less fortu
nate than be had been, and was always ready
to tender both purse, and brain for their bene
fit. Hayden, the painter, once applied for
him to relieve his impecuniosity with the
loan of twenty pounds. This was in Tal
fourd's early days, when he had only toiled
uptthe first few steps of professional success.
He himself needed the money for hard-earned
and well-deserved recreation, and had just
laid aside that amount, in order to take a
pleasant trip with some friends to Margate.
However, his charitable heart could not
withstand Hayden's appeal, and he gave up
his proposed excursion and lent him the sum
be asked. The next day he went to the
steamboat on which he was to have abandoned
for the moment his arduous labors, in order
to take leave of his friends, when he was sur
prised to find there Hayden and his family,
who were going on the same excursion he
had relinquished, and probably with the aid
of the very money he had sacrificed to aid
what the painter fancifully styled his pressing
necessities. Many men would have expe
rienced a feeling of disgust to see the perti
nacious advocate of 'high art' stoop so low;
but Talfourd's was a noble nature, and he was
perfectly willing to regard it merely as an
idiosyncrasy of genius."

Ludicrous Quarrel About a Kiss.
A ludicrous incident recently occurred,says
an Indianapolis letter, at a rehearsal of cer
tain taldeaux vivants gotten up for the
benefit of Christ Church. They were playing
some infernal nonsense, when an exhausted
maiden all dressed in white is kissed out of a
hundred years' sleep by a good-looking young
man With a silken moustache. The en
chanted lady was very beautiful, and the
young man whose agreeable duty it was to
kiss away the long sleep from her eye-lids
is suspected of what is called out here
a "sneaking fondness" for her, much
to the discomfiture of a high-strung
brother, who has loftier aims in view
for his sister. If the kiss was not a real one,
it was at least a wonderful imitation, and the
jealous brother, who was watching the re
hearsal, was goaded to madness. He de
nounced the young man as an infamous
scoundrel, and demanded instant and
bloody satisfaction. There were high words
and shaking of lists under bold Roman
noses. The young lady, who certainly
ought to know, protested that, she was not
in the least kissed, and that it was none of her
brother's business anyhow, but that unique
-speciraen offlae.genue ass refused to be,satis
fled or comforted, and sent a challenee to the
offending young, man. He was finally put to
bed with a two-pound sack of pounded. ice on
his conk.

Mann( ArTUOBBIATION BILL.
Mr. Monnus.. of Maine, called' up the pension ap
propriation bill. Considerable debate ensued on an
amendment by the Committee On''Appropriations,
striking out 1•'..,e provision for, covering into the
Treastiry one-half the amount received as proceeds of
prizes, the Interest of which should constitute a pen
taionfund. The difference of opinion tented on the
propriety, of intopieg the fund separate, ,
Mt. SllBlektAw, of Ohio, offered the following as a
substitute: ~T he interest on the fund known LIB the
naval pension shall hereafter be atthe rate of three per,
cent. per annum; in lawful money, and shall be applied,
exclusively to therpayMent of naval pensions, 'accord
ing to existing laWs.
Mr. Monestx., or Vermont, was opposed to any
of these prdpoSitimis. • Ile would avoid the appear
ance of any violation of the national faith, while no
harm could result from the law remaining as it is
now.
Mr- Dsvis, of Kentucky, made some remarks,
holding that we should _keep faith with our brave
sailors, who had themseivee earned this prize
money.
Mr. FESBBSDEN reminded the Senator that the pend
ing question was whether the rate of interest to be
paid on this fund shall be reduced. It had been found
that three per cent. would more than pay all the pen
sions required, and, in view of the necessity of reduc
ing.; the present rate of taxation, in the existing con
dition of the country, there was no use in accumulat
ing a larger fund by a higher rate of interest. lie de.
nied that there Was any pledge on the part of the gov
ernment that the fund should always bear six per cent.
interest. •
Mr. Sticuttien's amendment was agreed to. The bill
was then passed. '

Mr. Moulins, then called tip the bill making appro
priations for the consular and diplomatic expenses of
the government.

the Committee on Appropriations to the bill as
passed by the House. • .
An amendment striking out an appropriation for the
War Of the .Minister to Portugal having - been .
Mr., Fessiginnstasked why the appropriation was
atrial eamitt ~ •. . • . • • .
Mr. Morraux, of Maine,' said the committee had fol
lowed the bill of tastiest - •
Mr. Stamm -supposed the Minister had been re.
called, hayingondustood that he had been in Wash,
ington this winter.
Mr. Fesszetnes Said if the Senator wished, as
Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, that
this appropriation should be withdrawn, he has no
objection.
Mr. Stamen reminded them that ifthe rippropria•-
Lion was made, a minister could be lent without the
content of the Senate. He thought it inadvisable to
take a backward step, Congress having already taken
a stand in the matter.
Mr. Fessittnest 'thought It hardly worth while,
when the House bad appropriated money for Mr.
Harvey, to strike out the appropriation.
Sustaanimigested-that the-bill-be-laid- on-the
table until tomorrow, Mil be could /communicate
with the State Department, and ascertain the precise
condition of this mission. It Mr. Harvey was still a
Minister of the -United States it would be a question
whether they should make an appropriation in ad
vance. It there was a vacancy he should be vary glad
to tee the appropriation made.
Mr. Mows, of Wisconsin, said that having refused
for two- tears pest to make an appropriation for
this Mtnister, on the ground that he was nnsatie
factory, the- Senate should stand by its record until
they know what had induced the Hoar to make the
appropriation.
Mr. Jortesoe, of Maryland, did not know whether
Mr. Hervey La d been recalled or Was oh leave. The
House last year had stricken out the appropriation,
endear Senate bad refused to coneur at fi rst, but had
been forced to recede, and now the House. made it,
and the Senateleopoeed to strike it out. . The only
objectless to this necessary mission consisted of fault
found with the present incumbent. He thought it
rather a . small matter to strike out this appropriation
on personal grounds, without any pretense that the
Minister was incompetent, but simply because of his
opinions in rmrd , i , to political dif fi culties at home.
Be did not. regar d
the Senate should sanction the
evjetent breach of faith in publication of Harvey's
• /ate' Wetting, on it Be underatteid the appropriation
was for the coming . year, and not payment for the
Wlthontexpresaing any bpinWn, he 'thought
the law might, imply contract . between the United
Stafeetteditsimintatela sent abroad; to pay theta - for
their services, for which they could recover in the
Coarref Claims. Suppose the Executive should recall
Mr. Harvey, there would be no provision to pay his
successor, and • probably nobody would apcept
the office, leet he should be placed In the same situa
tion.
Mr. Suellen warn tot sufficiently enlightened on the
subject. He thought it better-to •non-concur in the
amendment, afidiet itgitton committee of conference
until they could learn more about it.
Mr. Ilamoixtesta regarded this question as he did the
refusal of the House of Representatives to appropri
ate 'Matey to tam out a treaty already made. He
-would - as leave-refuse -to-pay a- man- who-werked-- for --
him fora . day because he had fallen oat with him in
the evening. Be condeninedthe course Congress had
pursued towards Mr. Hervey, in punishing him in con
sequence of a private letter, and said they should pay
him big two years' salary. They should legislate on
the presumption that Oka authorized by law 'should
filled.
Mr. Suns= said—" Let the dead past, bury its
dead."
Mr..Hrennuns -When a man owes a debt to the
past, he cannot well say that.
Mr. limearsat said he did not consider that there was
any debt contracted in the past. This question had
been sufficiently deceased heretofore, when he had
held that Converse had power to shape supplies, when
It was dissatisfied . with a foreign Minister and de
'mended his recall. It had no control: over the Reece
the directly. It wee a familiar exercise of a consti
tutional principle.and the Senator would not impale
himself upon a denial of that principle. He (Kr,
Summer) had cited authorities in the discussion of
that principle on a former occasion, and there had
been no reply. There could be none. The time
would vet come when the Senator would be glad to
hold to that same principle.
Mr. Resources' said he would never starve a man
Out of an office.
Mr. SIJUNEE reiterated that the Senator would, if
the occasion were adequate. He thought Congress
had not been In the wrong. Mr. Harvey should have
returned when the Secretary of State communicated to
him a copy of the act of Congress. He was in con
tumacy,
but he undertook to carry on a battle against
Congress. He carried on his back the Secretary of
State, who Was in contumacy also. He hoped Con
gress would adhere to its original position.
Mr. Commrsio, of New York, bad none but friendly
feelings for Mr. Harvey, which had only been in
creased on account of that gentleman having been
made the subject of gross aspersiqn. When, how
-aver, he did an act which did not belong to him, the
two houses had, under an undoubted right, said, hi
-the only way in which they could say it, that Mr.
Harvey should return. He denied that they had at
tempted to starve him out.. They had simply refused
to make the appropriation. Mr. Harvey had not re
linquished his place, and now the proposition of the
'louse bill was to give him his salary next year, mart
featly implying that he had remained until now, en-
titled to the_ place, and to reverse their action on this
subject. When another man was appointed to this
potation, Congress could very easily provide for his
salary by an appropriation ,in another appro
priation bill or deficiency bill. He (Mr. Conkling)
could not forget that this gentleman had gone oat of
Ms way to do, an act which the judges of the two .
Arouses pronorinted objectionable, at a time when the
aountry waif inrOlved In a political controversy. There
•waa no new evidence or facts before them, and until
- dinaelestltrefiC est adjudicates • • •
Mivileannucxethogght.there waSno precedent in
This country for Congress refusing to pay a man is
salary. Mr. Harvey had done his full duty. it a
public officer in the discharge of his duty could be cut
ref{ from payment because of his dissent from Con
; elswe, n they could cut off the supplies of the President.
Theeame principle could be applied to a Senator who
'rind written something distaataal to the Senator from
Massachusetts. The principle of starving out might
thin be applied to the Supreme Court to compel them
to adopt the doctrines of Congress. He repudiated
~-„sey. s ho uld rines. .All departments of the govern
, mentct inpedendently. Be agein condemned
the merlon in which Congress would thus place
Timed. •
Further distassion ensued, during which
Mr. Flown said if the Senator had employed a man
'who maligned and traduced him, he would doebtless
feel himself justified to discharge hire.
Mr. HZIMUICKB replied that under the law the
minister had a vested interest in the office until re
moved lawfully, e, power which Congress could- not
• exercise.
Mr. Howe said Congresa did not propose to remove
• Um- but merely to exercise their undoubted power to
Tallier° pay him a dollar. They could, if they chose,
abolish the office.
Mr. Mommas., of Maine, said the act of ,Jaly,
forbade any further appropriations for the mission at
Portugal, and therefore the committee had acted
in accordance with the law, that law not being re
pealed.
• At 4 o'clock Mr. Tiremr; saying it was evident there

TABIFF.
Mr. BROOMALL., of Pennsylvania, addressed the
House on the subject of the tariff and internal reve
nue laws and of the free trade and protective systems,
bringing many facts and figures to illustrate his argil.
meat in favor of protection to home industry. He
apprehended that the, necessity for protection would
always exist, so long as the labor in foreign countries
shad not have arisen to the dignity it has acquired in
the United States. He referred to the fact that a
low We since he Introduced, and had referred to the
Committee of Ways and Means, a bill propoeing an
increase of twenty per cent. on the duties now im
posed on imported wines and liquors, and on manu
facturers of Iron, cotton wool and silk.
He had not done so with the idea that such a change
•...would remedy all the defects in the present eyetom of
-
taxation, bat because he had for Borne time, despaired
of seeingianylettertifekuisiott of the tariff laws with
a view of. eheckhag Intportatb*us•and‘ protecting do
mestic indnetry, and he had hoped that his proposi
tion might lead to something In the proper direction
—some concession to the universal demands of the
languishing manufacturing itilereeta of the country. ,
Ha . did not mean to be bnderstood 'as consuring the
Committee of Ways and Means for delay, or to im
pate to it any disposition to neglect those great in-
tercets. ',lle Xecogialhaxi the difficulty and aelay at
tendant upon the perfecting of any general system of
internal revenue or of customs. The measure which
be proposed had two objects—one being the tame
tive- of the other—to increase the revenue derived
from foreign commerce, or by decreasing importa
ttiOns, toenable American industry the better to bear
the weight of internal taxation. Both of those might
be combined In t h e general objects of increasing the
aggregate revenues of the government, without in
creasing the burdens of the citizens.
ll=
Mr; Ilotirnit, of Indiana, next addressed the Reuse
on the subject of the public debt, and the mode of ex
tinguishing it. Thee history of the last eight years
had proven in his opinion that the Republican party
was the party which was in the interest of capital, and
that the Democratic party was in the main inevitably
in the interest of labor. He was hi favor of even
handed justice to the lxmdlioldlng and to the indus
trial classes. The nation could not afford to violate
its faith, and must preserve its fame from the least
taint or suspicion; . but on the other hand, nothing was
clearer than that the same even-handed justice that
was done to the bondholding class csuldbe done to e
Industrial dames, oat of whose labor the taxes w*o
paid. The debt should be paid on the basin on which
it was contracted. It would not be just to pay it on
any other basis. If the people paid a debt of 82,500,-
001400 on the basis on which it was made, dollar for
dollar, paying in lawful money that part not expressly
agreed to be paid in coin, and paying in coin that part
agreed to be paid In coin, the bondholder would re
ceive all that he could properly ask. When be asked
more, he naked that for his own benefit. Injustice
would be done to the people, on whose labor the
finances of the countryrested.
A q ueati on from kir. BLAINE, u to the meaning of the
promise quoted on the face of a $lO greenback, that
tte.government of the United Btatea would pay $lO
adentand, led to a discussion, in which the rules of
finance, logic and metaphysics were mixed up beyond
the possibility of extracting a plain and simple princi
ple out of IL
Bnqpm.att, of Pennsylvania, referring to what
he considdred a fair inference from one of lir. Hol
man's remarks,
asked whether he meant the House
to understand that the paper dollar and the gold dol
lar were precisely equal in value, because, if so, lie
proposed to exchange with him paper dollars for gold
dollars, to any extent that they might be able to con
tract.
Mr. Btorsite, referring to a remark in favor of Mr.
Logan's proposition to tax United States bonds two
per cent , asked Mr. Holman whether be would vote
for such a proposition?
Mr. HOLMAN said that he would.
Mr. &anus asked him whether the Democratic
side of the House would vote for it with anything like
unanimity.
Mr. 1191 .mart raid that the subject had never been
a mat,ter.oreonoallation_AMollg the oppoeition mem
bers, but for his own partibe though t - the proposition
was one based upon reason and justice. He should
favor the taxation of bonds to an amount equal to the
average taxation on other property throughout the
country.
Mr. LOGANf referring to a remark of Mr. Holman's,
which appeared to him as an insinuation that he did
not intend to press the proposition Introduced by him
some time ago, declared that it was his intention to
press that measure, as he believed that bonds should
be taxed the same as other property, and said that the
gentleman (Mr. Holman) and his friends would have
an opportunity to vote for or against it.
Mr. lit...ante, of Maine, desired either of these gen
tlemen (Mr. Holman or Mr. Logan) to inform him
whether the property of the country was, on a fair
valuation, taxed anything like two per cent.
Mr. Vex TaV3IP, of Ohio, said that in Ohio it was
more than that.
Mr. LOGAN said that, making calculations , of State,
municipal, and national taxation, the average of the
ageregate taxation warila little over 2)4 per cent.
Mr. &Anse expressed the belief that the gentleman
from Illinois (Mr. Logan) was grossly mistaeen. The
City of New York, for instant*, paid on a basis of
8700.000,000 for personal and real estate, whereas there
was not a doubt thatijogr personal property alone held
in that city would ifpunt to 81,200,900,000,„to:eay
n o tVa4 .g of the value of real estate.
Mr. BARNES, of . New York, said that thetax - in New
York wee four and twenty-three one-hundredths per
sent.
Mr. Bran - a—For what ?
Mr. Bartsms--For the assessment.
Mr. Btsttit--Yes, but the assessment is on a valu
