From our regular Correspondent.)
Washington, D. C. Feb. 28, 1880.
It Is rarely that we are treated with
as eloquent eulogy by a Senator as
that of Senator Voorhees upon Brumldi
the recently deceased artist of the
Capitol. A Congressional speech
usually is as destitute of oratorical
graces as a lawyer's argument before a
jury upon some dry, knotty legal quib
ble, and Senator Voohees' efforts are
not exceptions to this rule. But on
this occasion he allowed his fancy full
rein, and paid the deceased a tribute
sparkling with beauty and sentiment.
The Government wrs Indebted to
Brumldi some $500 for extra work re
touching the canopy of the dome,
which moneys could only be paid the
heirs under a resolution, which the
Senator introduced, and which,
of
course, was adopted without debate,
Mr. Voohees referred to the artist
services in adorning the Senate com
mlttce rooms and panels and corridors
with pictures of men, and animals
and birds of America, whose merits.
as works of art, would suffice in Eu
rope to make him famous, and to en
title him to a burial-place with the
nobinty and the great and said: "The
birds, especially, are all there, from
the humming bird at an open flower
to the bald eagle with his fiery ey
and angry feathers. I have been told
that the aged artist loved these birds
as a father loves his children, and that
he often lingered in their midst as if
strong tie bound him to them." We
have often thought that the aged artist
was mentally so engrossed with his
art that he knew little else, hence can
appreciate the orator's fine Idea of the
old man's love for his works. It
possible that he will be remembered
tnrough his art, as Mr. Voorhees said
long after we had ceased to exist as
nation, and even after the Capitol it
self had crumbled into ruins. Yet so
little attention was paid him in the
last obsequies, through the entire ab
sence of demonstration and of attend
ing strangers, that it seems Brumldi
greatness, like that of Milton's will
not be really recognized till long after
his death
An interesting debate arose in the
Senate upon a motion to repeal th
law prohibiting the appointment of
ex-confederates to the Army and Navv
Mr. Edmunds forced the debate, as he
said, for the pupose of settling the
matter, and as usual, he and Mr. Thur-
man umagoizeu. These two great
men "lock horns" upon nearly every
question arising in the Seuate. Both
are lawyers of pre-eminent ability
and can split hairs with the nicest
possible discriminations between twe-
edledeeand tweedledum, and differ
ing as they do in politics, they neces
sarily oppose each other on all issues
with the slightest political bearing in
them. The debate was not concluded
and it Is not likely the statute will be
repealed in advance of the coming
presidential contest, inasmuch as this
repeal involves an Immense amount
of political capital which, like the
"bloody shirt" cry of past campaigns
may have an immense weight for the
opposition. No one doubts that under
the next administration, no matter
who becomes President.the Army and
Aavy will be opened to the South as
to the orth. et just now neither
party will assume the responsibility of
breaking down existing distinctions,
Mr. Thurman, however, took advanced
ground in favor of repeal
Hie House is rapidly bringing its
revising the rules to a conclusion, and
will soon possess a new code. Some
of these rules are great improvements
upon the old, and others are equally
obnoxious. ior Instance, in our judg
ment no appropriation bill should
contain any provision not strictly pre-
uiuiing io appropriations; and yet the
new rule is even more unrestricted
than the old, thought which has crept
some or tne most pernicious legislation
of the past 20 years. Had the presi
dent power to veto douses of an ap
propriation act it would matter little
what swindling riders were tacked
upon it in the rush of the lust hours of
Congress.
Cincinnati bore off the palm in the
recent struggle among our cities to
secure the holding of the coming Dem
ocratic presidential convention. We
had hoped Washington would be sel
ected, inasmuch as we think it the
better place, all things considered.
But at the committee could not resist
the fascinations of Cincinnati beer aud
pork, and concluded to give that city
the preference, we cheerfully submit
to its decision, and will hold our im
possible bronze horse on costly pedes
tals, and glorious hash-houses, for the
benefit of those who, in the future
maybe blessed with finer and more
appreciative tastes than the present
members of the National Democratic
Committee.

Let Common Sense Prevail.
(From the Wllken-bnrre Times.)
What most concerns the Republican
party in looking over the field whereon
the Presidential battle Is to bo fought,
Is to get a candidate whom it can
elect. It Is not a question of men, ac
cording to their claims on the
party, which most Interests the masses
of tliat organization, but a matter of
consideration as to how they can best
Insure a party success In order to
render sure a continuation of Repub
lican administration. The party does
not propose to, nor could it if it at
tempted, carry any dead weight.
Republican Exchange.
No good Republican will dispute
the soundness of the doctrine con
tained In the above extract. Granting
that the first and most important con
cern "Is to get a candidate whom we
can elect," the next question thatj
suggests itself is one that involves
nothing more nor less! than common
sense. It is "What constitutes a fair
and safe criterion ly which to judge
whether a man is available or not?'
We have contended ever since the call
for the late Slate convention was is
sued, that the only safe plan or at
least the safest is to fairly guage the
sentiment of the masses who consti
tute the Republican party, and then
respect what appears to be the predom
inating preference in every State that
can reasonably be expected to contri
bute toward the success of the Repub
lican candidate for President.
The national convention to bo held
at Chicago next June will be com
posed of two distinct elements, viz:
The delegates rejresentlng States that
may reasonably be expected to give
their electoral votes to tiie Republican
candidate; and the delegates from
those States that cAnnot hope and do
not expect to add. a single Electoral
vote to tho achievement of a Repub
lican victory. We assume that there
are three classes of States as viewed
from a party standpoint, as follows:
1. Those that will give their Electoral
votes to the Republican candidate, no
matter whether he be Blaine, Sher
man, Grant, Washburne. or any
other the convention could nominate;
2- Those that will choose Republican
Electors provided the candidate be
such an one as will receive the full
and enthusiastic support of the entire
party, together with at least a portion
of the independent and wavering ele-J
ment; 8, of those States that will
choose Democratic Electors no matter
who the candidates may be. For the
convenience of the reader we have
classified the States, not into three but
two classes, showing the relative
strength in the Electoral Colleges and
in the Chicago convention of eacli
State. We give first those States that
the Republicans must depend upon to
elect the nominee of the Chicago
convention. It will be observed that
the Chicago convention will be com
posed of 756 delegates, and that there
fore 879 delegates will be necessary to
nominate. The Electoral Colleges
comprise 369 votes and 185 aro neces
sary to a choice of President. Here
then are the States that must elect the
Republican candidate if lie bo elected
at all :

These States, as will be observed
contain enough delegates to control
the Chicago convention, and also
enough Electors to elect the Republi
can candidate for President.' We do
not wish to be understood us intimat
ing that the Republicans in the
States given below, should be entirely
ignored in the choice of the candidate
of the party in the Chicago convention,
we assert that they should be possessed
of discretion and common sense enough
not to attempt by their united vote in
the convention to force upon the party,
by joining with a Northern faction, a
candidate who is not acceptable to the
Republicans of the States that must
bear the brunt of the battle and supply
all the sinews as well "as the creater
part of the labor of the campaign.
Here is a list of states, (and their
strength in the convention,) which
cannot be expected to cliosse a single
Republican Presidential Elector:

As will he seen, of the 758 delegates
Id the Chicago convention, 321 will
peak and vote for communities that
will contribute nothing toward the
sucoess of the candidate, uo matter
who he may be. Schemes are ou foot
to unite the Southern delegations with
a view to making a combination with
a small Northern, faction aud thus
control tha convention and nominate
a candidate against the proteaU of the
Republicans of the States that will
afterwards be expected to elect him.
This is not merely a hazardous scheme
but may become suicidal to the Repub
lican party.
It is time for somebody to call a halt
on some of the managers of the Re
publican party. There has not been
a period in the history of the party
when wisdom In leadership, and sound
judgment and unselfishness, were so
necessary as now. The party cannot
afford to take unnecessary risks, nor
depend upon the blundering of our op
ponents for success. The most avail
able man for tho Chicago convention
to nominate Is he whom the masses of
the Republican rank and file call for
In the States that must be depended
upon for the necessary 180 Elt'cloiial
votes. Common sense points out with
unmistakable distinctness, the only
safe road for the convention to walk
in the only road that leads to victory.
