Auher's Pow opera—Grand Ovation to
the Veteran Composer.
tcorreopondenco of thr New, York worm)
Pains, Feb. 21.—The "maestro" Auber has
been the "lion" of the week in Paris. This
wonderful old man seems an inexhaustible
mine of musical treasures, and has actually
21 es years of age composed one of the
freshest and most effective of chef d'oeuvres.
The first representation of this opera, Le
Premier jour do Bonhcur,mentioned in my
last letter, was the occasion of a veritable
ovation to the composer, which is compared
to a similar great event in the life of the great
Voltaire—the representation of Irene at the
Theatre Francaise. The comparison is not
by any means a just ono. Irene was in fact,
the most insignificant of Voltaire's pieces—
indeed, the .tench do not hesitate to call it
detestable and ignoble—and Voltaire received
the magnificent triumph on the occasion of
its first appearance, not as the author of the
poor tragedy which fell immediately before
the public criticism, but for having conse
crated his life in defence of ideas which in the
outset were pereecuted and misunderstood,
but commencing to take deep root in the
popular mind, and which led to the immortal
revolution of 'B9. Auber's case is not in the
least similar. He has lived entirely away
from political agitations, and has contented
himself by singhig like a bird, without taking
into account the changes of governmenta go
ing on around him. When he wrote the
.41tvette do Portia. ("Matteabiello") he
had not the faintest idea that in the
grand duo between Pietro and Mas
nanicllo be was assisting in overturning a
throne and in sending a dynasty into exile.
(This duo, itmay be known, is one of the
great republican songs of Naples.) Auber, in
this case, was the unconscious spark destined
to create a great conflagration. The immense
attecess of the new piece is theretore not in
the least due to a worship of the man, or
even as a testimony of respect to his old age.
:tuber, at sixty years of age, brought out the
dancee of the King of Garbe," which was
i
sastrous failure. The "Premier jour de
Bonheur" has succeeded purely and simply
on its own intrinsic merits, and one cannot
help being surprised that the grey-headed
old man should be capable , of producing
such exquisite-love- melodies- as -are to----be
found in the new opera. The libretto is full
of charnac—a rare thing in modern
opera, it must be admitted. The scene is laid
in India, at the period when the Commander
Dupleix defended the French Colonies
against the aggressions of the English—far
superior in numbers and with better ap
pointed army. A young French officer,
Gaston de Maillepre, has just arrived from
Versailles. He is entirely received, and is
hopelessly in love with an unknown fair one,
whom he has seen but a moment, during a
passing visit to London. Under these cir
cumstances he performs prodigies of valor in
the hope of being put out of his misery by a
"friendly" shot from the enemy. In the
meantime, however, he relates his tribula-
OM to an Indian priestess, Djelma, who
consoles him, and counsels him to live and
hope. Suddenly a wonderful change
comes over his fortunes. In the same'
day be is breveted colonel, receives
the announcement that he has fallen heir
to a great estate, and towards evening his
soldiers lead in a fair lady prisoner vihorn
they have taken within the French lines. -Of
course, the fair lady proves to be the lovely
Helene, his unknown charmer of London.
This situation is, as may be supposed, too
bright to last. Just as he thinks his happi
ness assured; his fortime is dissipated by his
gamin Bergerac; his best friend challenges
him for having been passed colonel over his
head, and Helen announces that "Sir John,"
who had been brought into camp at the same
time with herself, having accompanied her
in the promenade, which ended so unluckily
—Sir John was her destined husband!
In the second act we are in Madras, in the'
drawing-rooms of the English Governor, who
is giving a great ball in honor of the safe
return of his niece Helene, who has been re
leased and returned to her uncle's protection
by the two gallant Frenchmen, Bergerac and
De Mailly. Here come a ballet to represent
the gay dances of the Governor's guests, and
in the height of the festivity is introduced our
friend Gaston, who, in his turn, has been
made prisoner; in his eagerness to approach
Helen after her liberation he has been sur- -
prieed and taken. The Governor treats him
as a guest and invites him to be of the party.
He finds himself at once the object of the
politeness and attention of all the com
pany, as he is, of course, ' a model
.chivalry and elegance. Helen grows
less sby. Bergerac and De Mailly have
made efforts to conciliate him. 'Later, these
sympathies of the company seem redoubled
in the most incomprehensible fashion. Ber
gerac approaches and tells him that he re
nounces the disputed inheritance; De Mailly
begs pardon for his ridiculous challenge;
Helen, with tears in her eyes, allows herself
to express to him the tenderest sentiments.
Gaston does not try to analyze all his de
lightful sensations; he gives himself up to the
charna of the hour. Alas! his dream is but a
a short one. The Governor advances, and
with a thousand circumlocutions, declares
that Sir John, during his captivity, had for
pure pastime made a sketch of the French
fortifications; this sketch had been found,
and Sir John was accused of being a spy,
and had been condemned to, be shot;
that the execution would take place at
daybreak ; and that, as a reprisal, it had been
decided -by the General in command, that '
Gaston should be shot at the same hour.
Poor Gaston begins, to -comprehend -the gen
erosity of Bergerac, the remorse of De Madly,
and the sudden passion of Helen; but, after
a moment's melancholy, he takes his place
again in the dance,and continues to converse
with Helen, withhowever, much more tend
. erness and deeper feeling. Helen, full of
sorrow, finds that she really loves the young
hero, and responds fully to all his avowals.
hi the third act Gaston is preparing to die.
He says adieu to Helen and Djelma, who
have come to soften the horrors of his last
moments. But suddenly appears Sir John ;
the phlegmatic Englishman has come
to, request that he may be exchanged
for Gaston, and, in case of refusal,
he has given his " parole " that he will re
turn to the French camp. The English Gen
eral accepts the condition, but Gaston refuses.
He prefers death to being a. witness to Helen's
marriage with his cold rival. Sir John is
determined to live at any price—consents to
eive up Helen, and everybody is made happy.
Ike success of the piece was immense, the
ole theatre calling out for the author, but
Auher did not make his appearance. Bou
iluets of the most tigantie proportions were
ready to be thrown7to him upon the stage . ;
but he remained hidden
.fin the back part of
his .twoe one the stage), and, f heai, was en
tirely inconsolable because the Emperor had
not consecrated his triumph by his imperial
presence. All the loud huzzas were lost on
him, He attempted to leave the theatre by a
private door, but the crowd *sated for
him, and pressed around his carriage with
acclamations and felicitations.
stage Costume—Blunder s of the Past.
fillOrt historical sketch of the anachrone
kali) • of our stage costume will serve best to
show bow slow but steady has been the pro
gress of realism, natural as it now seems, that
actors should wear the correct 'dress of the
time and place which the author had used in
the play he has giVen them to represent. In
Shakespeare's day there was no attempt to
dress characters correctly. The Earl of
Southampteo, Italeigh,and such patrons, gave
their court-suits to the players. Hamlet was
enacted in the peascod doublet and bolstered
hose of James the First's court; and the
pretty pages and chorister-boys who played
Juliet and Imogene, played in large fardin
gales and white quilled ruffs. There was no
more attention to correctness, then than there
is now in drawing-room charades. That
great tragedian Betterton played Hamlet and
Alexander the Great in the stiff square-cut
dress of William of Orange, with tufts of rib
bon on his shoulders and on his sword-hilt,
knee-breeches and square-cut shoes. He
pointed his periods with waves of his cocked
hat and tossing of the huge powdered mane
of his court wig. Over his -manly breast
streamed a broad steenkirk of Flemish lace;
he not improbably took snuff and made a
point of dropping his snuff-box when he saw
his father's ghost. As for the stage murderer,
he always scowled from under a black
Charles the. Second wig. Quin played the
gay lover in a heavy scarlet coat anti waist
coat, black velvet breeches and long half
powdered wig,flowing down upon his breast.
Garrick, a scholarly man, and the friend of
scholars, was no better. He dressed Hamlet
in a black court suit and short bag-wig: he
had ruffles on his wrists and buckles in his
shoes. His cravat was of the time of William
the Third, and streamed over his chest.
Woodward, as the gay Mercutio,was still more
inconigible. The rashness of the delightful
young Veronese gallant was indicated by a
carelessly-tied laced cravat, and a three-cor
nered gold-laced hat,cocked gayly on one side.
His waistcoat came down nearly to his knees,
and into one of its profound pockets he
thrust his hand when he began his arch de
scription of Dreamland and Queen Mab.
Another actor of the same period played
Charles 1., whose style of hair is so familiar
to us, in a streaming full-bottomed flaxen
wig of Pope's time.
Talking of Pope, we learn from a passage
in the works of that satirist, that Booth played
the venerable Cato in a large fashionable wig
and a richly flowered dressing-gown. But
to return to Garrick, that excellent and ver
satile actor made Macbeth a sort of Scottish
sergeant-majori Jas....Ron - Igo wore the cotqt,
dress so familiar to us in Hogarth's pictures;
in Richard the Third he was, however, a
little daring, and ventured on an ermine
trimmed cloak, brigand boots, and slashed
James the First breeches; but Buckingham,
Hastings, and Cateaby were not allowed to
go beyond bag-wigs, cocked hats, and the
stiff regulated costume of the time.
Kemble was innovating, but his errors, too,
were outrageous. He put Hamlet into a
black velvet Vandyke dress, powdered black
curly wig, and diamond shoe-buckles. Below
his knee he wore the Garter, and the broad
blue ribbon of the order instituted by Edward
the Third was conspicuously scarfed across
his breast. Charles the First, as Hamlet,—
that was what he appeared to all
educated people. The stage of the Kem
ble period kept pace exactly with the
art knowledge of those days. Fuseli,
Northcote and Stothard dressed their his
torical characters just as well, but no better.
In Mortimer's drawings you perpetually see
half-naked men with nothing on but breast
plates and flaps of armor reaching to their
knees. The absurd,abominable brigand hoot
was clapped on every one, warrior or prince,
David Rizzio or murderer in the Tower.
How did Lewis play Earl Percy—in coat
of mail? 0 dear me, no !—in a jerkin and
knee-breeches, of summer silk; while hi ow
in hair, plentifully powdered (Dr. loran
tells us), was bound with light blue
streamers. This same gracefactor played
Hyppolytus, the son of These , a hero of
the ante-Homeric days, in a spacket -silk
knee-breeches, tight thin boots, and a court
sword.
Mrs. Crouch sang as one of the Witches in
Macbeth, disdaining hump, ruddled wrinkles,
tow hair, and brown-paper nose, in a charm
ing broad-brimmed fancy hat, her hair pow
dered and her snowy bosom emerging from
airy clouds of lace and muslin.
Edmund Kean moved things a little. Dar
ing and passionate in everything, he tried - to
be true in dress. He it was woo discarded
the traditional red wig (Judas color) of Shy
lock; he and Macready turned Macbeth into
the grim, _Highland _chieftain, now__ so ...well
known to us. Mr. Charles Kean, we believe,
first introduced the earlier semi-Norse dress,
which at once carries us back to the earlier
times of ' Scottish history, and is correct
enough for even the sternest critic. To Mr.
Charles Kean, indeed (insufficient as an actor
in all but melodrama), we owe much. His
adviser, Mr. George Scharf (au excellent
antiquarian and no mean artist), with great
research' and the best taste, superintended his
great historical revivals. It is untair to say
that in them Shakespeare was buried under
heaps of flue dresses and hidden away behind
scenery. It was not Mr. Kean's fault, but
natures, if the actor did not rise above the
dresses and scenery. The Richard the Second
was admirable in costume and very true to
old illustratiOni. The lotig4o - ed - POlit - h - bo - iitSr
tied up with chains to the knee, the jagged
fringed sleeves, the parti-colored surcoats.,
were all as true as they were picturesque;
equally true was the Henry VIII. and the
Hamlet.
There is one curious fact about stage cos
tume, mentioned by an excellent writer on
the'subject,—that is, that many of the stage
dresses of old time had been celebrated court
dresses. The first villain .at Covent Garden
wore for a whole century a black wig that
Charles the Second had-given--Killigrew..---It.
afterwards belonged to Dickey Suett, who
cried like an infant when it was destroyed in
a fire. Quick used to wear a coat of James
the Second's, and King Arthur's dress in Tona
Thumb had belonged - to Lord Northumber
land when English Ambassador at Venice.
Theatrical costumes were often handed down
for generations. Dr. Doran says that
Matthews, as Old Foresight, used to wear the
dress in which Wilkes played the fashionable
Sir Harry Wildair, and Peg Woffington's coat
for that favorite character was afterwards
worn by Dicky Suett when playing ridiculous
old men.—Every Saturday.
ENGLAND AND ARIERICA.
Continents 'Upon the Career of Minister
Adams, tuna Speculations as to the
113UOICO of Ills bliCeeSSol%.
[From the London Times, Feb. 2M
In the midst of the singularly intricate and
difficult negotiation which arose between the
Governments of Great Britain and the United
States out of the incidents of the civil war, it
has happened that the Envoy of each power
has been removed. It is acontroversy which
has passed through - many vicissitudes. Of
"the persons who were originally
,erigaged in
it one. only remains `to carry it on. The
English Foreign Office has been under the
direction of three Ministers since the ques
tions still in dispute were first raised, and
of the two plenipotentiaries who represented
the Government at Washington between
MO and 167 ODOIS now Ambassador at
Paris, and the other is dead. On the part of
the Arnei leans there has been no change in
the principal negotiators until now, when the
retirement of Mr. Adams is announced, and
thus Mr. Seward is left, the only Minister
who has throughout taken a part in the dis
cussion. There might be circumstances in
which the • substitution of one voice for
another in so protracted -a dispute - would -be
THE DAILY EVENING BULLETIN.-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAY M*AHCII p,..1868.
_
of advantage, but the: resignation, of Mr.
Adams can only be regarded as a great;lots
to both Governments. He is ; thoronzlilY fit-,
miliarWith every one of tie points at issue,
and although he has never shrunk from pre
senting hls own case with firmness and deci
sion, and maintaining it even ,with persist
ence, he has always been fair' and courteous,
anxious to maintain peace, though never for
a moment forgetting. the interests of his
country. There have been times, no doubt,
within the last seven years when we
should have liked him better if, consist
ently with his duties, he could have put be
fore us the views of his government in a less
rigid and inflexible form. It is - natural, al
though perhaps not altogether reasonable,that
we should have wished him to look at the
questions between us with English rather
than with American eyes. But Mr. Adams
had his duty to his own Government to per
form, and the nicest ingenuity could not have
enabled him to render that duty specially at
tractive to us. He invariably, however, ex
hibited a wise discretion and a cool judgment.
It is easy to comprehend the painful embar
rassments into which both countries might
have been plunged by a less cautious or a less
capable man. We have only to read the
speeches constantly delivered in the Senate of
the United States to appreciate the mischief
which some prominent advisers of the Ame
rican people would have produced.
Mr. Adams, the representative of a family
which has been connected with public life in
the United States since the earliest days of
the Republic, has himself taken an active
part in the politics of his own country for al
most a quarter of a century. It would be in
gratitude on the part ofkhe American people
to forget the services helms rendered them in
England. He has been unyielding in their
behalf, but no English Minister has ever ques
tioned his good faith or good feeling. It is a
success of no common kind for a " man to
have been constantly engaged years together
in pressing upon us questions of claims which
we deemed strained or unjust, and yet to have
won the regard of the Government and the
nation. Mr. Adams has been obliged to pur
sue a course often most distasteful to us, but
when he leaves this country it will be with
the esteem and good wishes of all classes of
the people.
We have so recently experienced the diffi
culty of finding a competent represfentative
at Washington, that we can understand the
reluctance of the American Administration to
part with Mr. Adams. He has, we believe,
sought to be relieved ever since the close of
the war, but Mr. Seward was reluctant to
deptive himself of so efficient find trustworthy
an agent. A successor, however, has now to
be appointed,and the choice is rendered more
perplexing than ever by the bitter variance
which exists between the President and the
Senate. In these days the President can nei
ther appoint nor remove a public officer of
any eminence without the concurrence of the
Senate, and the post of Minister to England
is likely to be warmly contested on both sites.
The President would scarcely like to have in
England, as a mouthpiece of his Government,
a man who was intensely hostile to it, and,on
the other hand, the senate will not permit the
designs of Congress to be unfavorably repre
sented. Thus a new conflict is unavoidable.
To us it is of no importance from which party
the new Minister may be selected, but it is of
great importance that he should be a fair and
just-minded man. « * * * *
If the recent - precedent of the Vienna Mis
sion be followed with regard to England, the
future Minister will be chosen by a process
of elimination. It will be remembered that
the--President nominated--gentlemen of all
parties, and that his nominations were inva
riably rejected by the Senate until he hit upon
a candidate who happened by an extarordi
nary combination- of accidents to be equally
a favorite at the - White House and the -Gaoi
tol.
In the present instance the President
has begun what is likely to be a sharp cam
paign by nominating an officer who was
once extremely popular with his. country
men, General McClellan. Such a nomina
tion could scarcely be made without rekind
ling some animosities which are better for
gotten, but with these domestic questions we
in England have nothing to do. Should the
President's nomination be accepted, America
Would again be represented by a dis
tinguished citizen, and one who would I
command a welcome from us. Mc-
Clellan _ -is an able man, :still_ the
prime of life, and his military renown, and
his active experience in a war, the conduct
of which will always have great interest for
Englishmen, would recommend him favor
ably to this country. Before that war was
ended, and while all its disturbing forces
were still in operation, Mr. Adams wrote to
his Government to counsel a policy of recon
ciliation. He reminded Mr. Seward that the
English Ministry had resisted all temptations
to break faith with the American Uovern
ment, and admitted that "at one moment a
slight vaiittion, stimulated by sonic of the
adverse influences within it," might "have
led to a material modification of our present
prospects of success. In any event it would
have imposed much greater difficulties in our
way.” - We can desire no better - repreSenta
five of the United States in this country than
a man who was thus able to do justice to our
general purposes, however much he may
have misjudged isolated circumstances.

Mr. Wain said be had received a large number of
letters from well-known persona, certifying that many
citizens had been threatened with dismissal from ern
uloyment, and 'actually dismissed after they voted,
and that professional men had been deterred from
voting by representation° that they would otherwise
be injured in their hnsineas. lie related several in
stances where ouch had been the resell , : among others
the ease of Generill Fitzpatrick, formerly a Senator
of the United States, who had threatened to dismiss
men in his employment if they participated in the
ielection,'aud afterWardo did so. liad there been a fair
vote Congress would have been hound to recognize
the election as valid; but as that had not been the
case, and as no doubt an overwhelming majority
NvOeld otherWlee have 'voted for the. Constitution. he
understood that General Mende was now investigating
tte matter, and would 8061) make a report, and that it

laid on the table. It atittiori, , ,es and requires the Sec

debt., except the five per minium and forty years'
bonds, and provides that e4d bonds Phan he payable

twenty years and five per cent. after twenty years, in
terest payable semiannually, principal and interest

the bonds.
Section six provides for the gradual redaction and
final extinction of • said debt, as follows: First. by ap

steeeor. VICKERS, OF MARYLAND.
Mr. JORNEON. of Maryland, preeented the crelen-
Vets of the Hon. George Vickers, Senator elect from
Ms land.
The credentiale - were - readeand - Ifeelotterson - wens --
about escorting Mr. Vickers forward to take the re
ti tette oaths, when
Mr. Sr Nairn offered the following resolution:
llesoked, That the credentials or the Hon. George
Vickere, Senator elect from Maryland,-be referred to
..the Committee on the. Justiciary. to consider if the
State of Maryland, with its existing Constitution, has
a republican form ofgovernment, eo as 'to he able at
this time to eelect and commission a Senator of the
United States. •
Mr. Sumner read the first section of the Constitu
tion of Maryland, "providing for voting by white
male citizens'," claiming that It was founded on the
principle of exclusion, and was anti-republican. con
trary to the principle on which their government was
formed according to the solemn de iarati one of our
fathers. Ail the States but South Carolina, when the
Constitution was formed, recognized the principle
that all citizens were entitled to suffrage: and when
the articles of confederation were framed an attempt
at exclueion on account of color was voted down.
lie read from the writings of Alexander Hamilton,
in the Federalist, an expression of opinion that. if
the laws were to restore the rights that have been
teken, the nmrom could no longer be refne.ed an
equal share of representation, and he claimed that
the necessary consequence of the freedom of the ne
t:rote was their restoration to all the rightg of citi
zenship. Some two hundred thousand citizens of
Mary land,therofore, being dented their right of repre
sentation, he submitted that the Constitution of
Maryland could not be republican inform. He then
pointed out that fourteen counties in Maryland, with
a total population of 11e,e71, elected fourteen Sena
tors' out of twenty-four. a majority lof the body.
This system of rotten boroughs was also anti-rdpueli
ean in form, and the Legislature thus composed,
having furnished a commission to the gentleman
now presenting himself, he (Mr. Sumner) thought a
committee of this body should consider the question
of the Constitution. Be might Stand alone in this,
as he had been more than once reminded in other
dale. But he did not regard it now more than he did
then, and he insisted that it was the duty of the
4enate to declare its opinion on this question.
Mr. Coexses of California, said that tinder the
principle pet folth be the Senator,
of
but the five
New Eneland States and the State of Wisconsin were
republican in form. He supposed that when the
:Senator came here from California with his creden
tials. he would be sent back, because the State did not
possess a government republican in form, and he pre
stewed the Senator offered the resolution to indicate
how far he was in the advance of his party friends.
If. that was so, as his object was attained, he (Mr.
Conness) would move to lay the resolution on the
table.
Mr. Connees, at the Instance of Mr. Nrr, of Ne
vada], withdrew the motion, who called attention to
the fact that the present Governor of Maryland was
elected under the Constitution of 18fi9 i by 'which those
who had been engaged in the rebellion had been dis
franchised; - Egbeeriently, upon' an arrangement with
the Governor, registers_ were appointed through-whom
even those wile bad been generals in the rebel army
were allowed to vote without pardon. By this fraud-.
ulent transaction the State has, been placed in the
hands of rebels. • ]
Mr. Nirr read from a letter written by the Hon. Mr.
Carmichael in contirmatton of his atatementeAnd said
if it was true the present Constitution of blaryland
rested on the basis of a corropt-politicalcombituttlow.
and it was confirmed thus by one of their • own num
ber, Governor Swarm having, in 'violation of the ex
isting Constitution,:directed his, registers to thwart
the wishes of the loyal people of 'Maryland, he, for
one, would not be a party to a crime that would for
ever be a stench in the nostrils of the citizens of the
country,
Me. Torresox said that when the State of Maryland
had any fault to find with the Constitution, her repre-
Sentences on this floor would be ready to do it..
Mr. Cotoress then renewed the motion to lay the
resolution on the table.
But Mr. SUMNER withdrew the resolution, saying he
had accompliebed his purpose.
Mr, Venoms then came forward and was sworn.
DIPLOMATIC APPROPRIATION RILL'.
The Senate again took up the Consular and Diplo
matic appropriation bill. The question was on the
amendment b_y the Cominittee on Appropriations,
- striking out the appropriation to the Minister to For
tegaL
Mr. Moenne, of Maine, again explained the con
eiderations which had influeuced the committee.
Mr. F.rtisrerneei, of Maine said the law of 1857
merely prohibited the Minister receiving anything out
of existing apPTOPrietione.
Mr. Molutiee, ofMhine. sitinhat 18111; Congress
passed iclaw providing that no compensation be elven
to this Minister, and the same Congress in 1857 re
fused to make any appropriation to - thie mission. On
this state of facts the committee feel bound to strike
out the appropriation. ]
Mr Su unit said that since the session of Saturday
ho had seen the Secretary of State. -who had informed
him that at this moment Mr. Harvey was Minister to
Portugal, and thought he was new in Washington. Ile
Mr:Sumner) hoped the amendment 01 the committee
would be agreed to.
Mr. WILLEY, of West Virginia, opposed the amend
ment, saying that if the Senator had not called for the
letter of Mr. Harvey, which had given rise to the
trouble, it would have been long since forgotten. It
wits inconsistent with the dignity of the Senate to
make so much ado about a private letter never. In
tended for their eyes- 11%waa opposed to the amend
ment.
Mr. bionnnee of Vermont, thought Mr: Harvey had
sheen sufficiently punished,and that they ought to treat
this tie if it were an original qrietition, He understood
f that Mr. Harvey had apps' ed before the house Com
mittee and 'made an explanation satitfactory to
them.
The amendment was trot adopted.
On ^an amendment 'by. the committee, - striking
out an appropriation for the mission to Ecuador, con
siderable debate took place in regard to the necessity
for a miesion.:duritg which it was stated that it was
proposed to class it with thirmission to Peru, and that
for the sake of economy there being no Minister at
present anpointed—it had been thought heat to dis
pense with this mission.. The ftmerdiment was
agreed to.
The first part of the amendment, to include in item
"for the contingent expenses of foreign intercourse,'
for which 630,000 was appropriated in the bill as it
came from the House, was lost.
The question recurred on ,reducing the amount to
2.0,001.1.
Mr:.Corwarrir,, of New York, said it had hero= so
now that no one could advocate economy in any meas
ure without provoking ridicule, on the ground that
one thing was too small aria another too far. e. con
veying the idea that it was all a mere flourish of
trumpets—mere deinagogism. Nevert betels he
thous lit this bill a proper subject for an attempt to
lop off the excrescences in public service. He reuri some
of the items w lien wont to make up the amount last
your.
Mr. Ft.r.srir.ii, of Maine, s lid it was not the fact
Of economy that he objected to, hut rat her t-hat neces
ear) appropriations were objected to on the scare of
economy. thus holding out Copt to the can larr lb it
cobld not be realized. He explained that his former
remark meant that he had been ( (intent heretofore to
let Ire reentry im in its opinion of his economical
disposii ion.
The latter part of the amendment was agreed to.
An amendment striking out an appropriation of
*30,000 for lbe expenses of intercourse with Barbary
powers WAS adopted.
At half past fonr o'clock, pending the further
consideration of the bill, a motion was made to
maj , nria.
Mr. ilowAnn, of Michigan, asked first to offer a
resolution.
The CLEW( proceded to read the resolution.

- _
Mr. WAF17111:11N, of ikisconsin, moved that the Sen.
ate substitute be concurred in
The matter gave rise to considerable and excited
debate.
Mr. WAELIIILT.N specified the cotton case of Shep
pard & Co., of Porkman, Brooks & Co., as a case
where gros' frauds had been perpetrated. and
Mr. Loe.ss; ',declared that be had acted as attorney
for those parties, and that the claim was a perfectly
honest and just one.
While Mr. LOGAN was speaking,
Mr. CHANLER put some questions to him, and after
some cross-firing between them, •
Mr. LoGAN remarked that there was no necessity for
the gentleman from Now York getting excited, adding
that a wasp could get excited, that an ant could bite,
and that small things could annoy.
Mr. CHANLER interposed the suggestion, "Or can
make an ass kick." Subsequently Mr. Chanter. rising.
to a personal explanation. said that the ',:gentle
man from Illinois had entirely misunderstood his
motive in putting questions to Wm, and had, there
fore, In the course of his remarks, made use of ex
pressions which he was sure he would, on understand
ing his (Mr. Changer's) motives, withdraw.
Mr. Looew said he had supposed from the gentle
man's,. (Mr. Chanler's) manner that his.question were
put to harass him, but on, the gentletnzin's explana
tion he would withdraw anything offensive he might
have said.
In the course of the discussion Mr. Logan alluded
to a fact which created a considerable stir. He said
that recently the Superintendent of the Treasury
Printing Bureau (Mr. Clark) had obtained the certiti.
cate of threa other ofilciale of the Treasury to the
destruction in their presence of cancelled bonds to the
amount of $18,640,000, while in fact no such bonds
had been destroyed, and while what was supposed to
be such bonds was; nothing more than blank paper.
This be had been told:by Mr. Clark himself. He had
not believed the statement, and had gone to see the
Treasurer (General Spinner) on the subject. General
Spinner bad told him that it was all wrong, and that
there Ought to be some explanation made 'of it. He
(General Spinner) did not know how it was, and sup
posed it must , have been done statistically. He said
it be had known the fact at the time he would not
have allowed it to be clone.
Mr. Pules remarked that this was an alarming dec
laration, and he Wished to have some more particu
lars,. He wished the gentleman from Illinois to state
whether the certificate showed the numbers, dates
and denominations of the bonds represented as being
destroyed;
Mr. Loser:; of Illinois, replied that the certificate
in question showed precisely the same character of
facts and figures as all other similar certificates in the
Treasury. •
Mr. Flocs remarked that the gentleman from Illi
nois would see the object of his asking the question.
If three gentlemen had certified to the destruction of
eighteen millions worth of bonds, and if those bonds
were still in the market,'-there wasla swindle to that
amount. That was a-little more startling-and alarm
.ing than anything he had heard of lately. •
Mr. Loolin repeated substantially his statement.
Mr. Rattm, of Illinois, inquired of him what had be
come of the bonds. •
Mr. Loner( said he did not know, 'and did not pre
tend to be able to explain it.' He aleo stated that he
had information that rebel Officers had been appointed,
in the State of Georgia in connection with tee, inter
nal revenue and were drawing pay, from waose official
oaths the material part had been scratched out with a
pen., •
Mr. Purer subsequinitly referring again to the state
ment in relation to the fictitious destruction of bonds
in the Treasury, said that, in' common with other
members of the 'House, he had been very much startled
by. the declaration, and that he would move for a cora.
rnitre.e to investigate the matter forthivith. If such
fraudulent certificates could be obtained for 'eighteen
millions, they could be obtained for eighteen hundred
millions. The Statement would bo carried before sun
