TUB ARMY AITUOl'lUATI'JN BILL.
Tbe Seuate, at 1 o'clock, resumed
lie consideration of tbe Arm Ap
propriation bill. .',
Toe pending qaaiioa was on tbe
anjeudtueat iiffcred bj Mr. Bluice, to
add tbe f-ilhwin words at tbe eod
i.f the sixth flection :
"ADd any military, cbtI, or civil
i.ffictr. cr any other perOD, who
stiii'l, except tor tbe purpose bereio
u timed, appear armed witb s deadly
wcupju i-f buj detnption, eiiber

pcriud not Ions tban ix nitintbs - nor
more iuhu five yearrf, or wiib both
fl Lie and imprisonment, at tbe discre
tion of tbe court." . . .
Mr Blaine said tbe method adopt
ed in tbe pending section to-get rid
oi the t-igbt closiD? woras of tbe sec
lion of tbe revised Statates prop8ed
to be repealed, namely, "or to keep
tne peace a: tbe polls," was an unaaa
al and extraordinary method. Tbe
ordinary way to repeal a eingle sen
tence was to strike oat tbe particular
words objected to, but tbe mode cbos
ca in this bill was to repeal and re
enact the whole section except tbe
last eigbt words. lie was persuaded
that tois unusual course was no; ta
ken accidentally but designedly. If
be might so speak, it came of cun
niDsr, tbe intent being to create tbe
impression that tbe Republicans, in
tbe administration of the General
Government, bad used troops right
and lelt in every direction, and that
as soon as tbe Democrats got into
power they proceeded to enact this
prohibitory sixth section. Demo
cratic stump speakers would, doubt
less, make great political capital oat
cf this idea ; whereas every word of
it, trvm !ir-i' to lat, was tbe enact
ment if tbe Republican party.
Whether iutemiooally or not, tbe is
suo thus presented was a dishonest
oce. Tbc law was passed by a Re
publican Congress. There were 46
Senators eittiug in tbe Senate Cham
ber at tbe time, of whom only 10, or
atnicst 11, were Democrats, and the
House of Representatives was ovtr
whtrimingly Republican. We were
in tbe midst ot war. Tbe Republi
can AdruiQiBtralion bad a million, or
pr.s.-ibly one million two hundred
ib.jiisjiiiil, biyouets at its command,
aud udder tbe circumstances, with
tho cin pit bt pjwer to interfere witb
ibe (.lections had tbey so chosen,
witb suliiera in every hamlet and
county of tbe United States, tbe Re
publican par'.y themselves placed that
on the statute-book and Abraham
Liuccb t-igned it lie called atten
tion to the fact that this was the first
iii.-taace in tbe legislation ofatbe Uni
ted States in which any restrictive
clause whatever had been put upon
tbe statute-books in regard to tbe
use of troops at tbe polls, and that it
was passed by the Republican Tarty
and feigned by AbraLam Lincoln
when Le bad more troops onder bis
control than Napoleon Bonaparte ev
er bad. But tbe point was to strike
oat tbe few words authorizing the
use cf troops to keep tbe peace at tbe
polls. Tbe country bad been alarm
ed cr, he would rather bay, amused
at the (.(Tort made to create the im
pression that tte Republican parly
relied for its popular strength upon
the CS3 of bayonets. This Demo
cratic Congress bad attempted, by
ruitiog an issue falee in every detail,
to create the impression, not only in
Am e He a, but in Europe and through
ivilised world, that elections
)bDiry are attempted to be
coritrvistm by tbe bayonet. lie de
nounced tbe ifgue as falee.and, though
not at liberty to fay that any gentle
man mating it knew its falsity, and
though be beped they did not, he
proposed to prove its otter lack of
foundation. ' '
He held in his band an abstract of
all the troops of the United States
east of Omaha, including tbe States
bordering tbe Mississippi on the west,
embracing a territory populated by
41,000,000 at least oat of the 55,000,
000 people supposed to be in this
country to day. By this statement
be ehowed that in all that great ter
ritory only 2,791 soldiers are station
ed. Within this domain 45 fortifica
tions ere manned and 11 arsenals
protected. To every 1.000,000 people
there are about CQ soldiers. The
honorable Senator from Delaware
7:
APHIL 23, 1879.
was alarmed about tbe overriding of
tbe popular ballot by the - troops of
the United States, bat there is not a
single Federal soldier in Delaware
Tbe honorable Senator from West
Virginia Mr. Hereford bad spokeu
of his State being troddea by the iron
beel of military despotism, but there
is not a solitary mau in United States
uniform on tbe soil of West Virginia.
In Maryland, 192 artillerymen at
Fort McIIenry, gnard tbe entrance
ti Baltimore's beautiful harbor. In
Virginia, there is a school ot prac
tice at Fortress Monroe; outside of
that school tbere is not a Federal
soldier iu tbe State. There are only
30 soldiers in North Carolina gurd-
iug a fort at the mouth of Cape Fear
Uiver. la bocth Carolina tbere are
120 artillery men to guard tbe en
trance to Charleston Harbor. Tbere
are 29 soldiers in Georgia and 182 in
Fionda. Tbere is not one ia Ten
nessee, Kentucky, or Missouri. There
are 57 in Arkansas, 32 in Alabama,
and 239 in Louisiana. Tbe great
State of Miseienippi has not one on its
soil, nor has Texas, except those
guarding tbe frontier on the Rio
Grande. In the entire Suuib, said
Mr. Blaine, tbere are 1,155 soldiers
to intimidate, overrun, oppress and
destroy tbe liberties of 15.000,000 ot
people in 1,203 counties, or uot quite
one eoldier to each county ; one sol
dier to about 700 square miles of ter
ritory. Tbere was ao old saying, be
coououed, that there were soothsay
ers 10 Rome who cald not look each
other iu the face without smiling,
and no two Democratic Senators on
tbe floor could go into tbe cloak
room and look each other iu tbe face
without smiling, or ratrur blushing,
over this talk, tbe whole thing was
such a miserable pretense aucb a
uiiserahly-niauutaciuied talt-e irsue.
lu IN'e-v England tbey bad 380 sol
diers, or about 120 to every 1,000,
000 people, whereas the ratio iu tbe
South was not quite 70 ; yet tha peo
ple of lNew huglatid never complain
ed of tbe military power. Tbe ten
dency of tbis talk, as he bad said,
was to mi-represent us abroad, and
tbe Democratic party stood ludicted,
and be charged tbem with public
.lander ot their country, creating tbe
impression iu tbe civilized world that
we are ucJer military despotism.
What would any European, familittr
with large armies, tbiuk of rucb as-
sertious when be learned tjat 1,155
soldiers were tpread over a territory
larger than France, Spain, Portugal,
Great Britain, Belgium, H. Hand, and
the German Empire. Bu continu-d
Mr. Blaine, tbe real motive of the
Democrats must be looked fur else-
where. It U simply to get rid .if the
Federal supers ision at tbe Federal
elections ; to get rid of tbe civil pow er
of tbe Uuited Siaies in the elec
tion of Representatives to Congress;
and therefore tbis bill cocntcts i'self
directly witb the bill wbich was be
fore Congress at the last ' Beeaion,
known as the Legislative,. Executive,
and Judicial Appropriation bill. He
was aware that parliamentary rules
forbade him to discuss a bill pending
before the House of Representatives,
but be also knew tbet nothing forbade
him to speak of what was done in tbe
House, but in Democratic caucus,
where tbis legislation was perfected.
Mr. Withers, of Virginia Was
it not reported by tbe CorumiUee of
the Whole House ct Representatives,
and referred, in this bady, to a com
mittee? Mr. Blaine Now you are asking
me to say what tbe House did. I
would not do that ; it it is against
parliamentary law. As to what
passed ic tbe committee of the Seu
ate, it can be inferred from what oc
etirred in tbis body cn Friday last,
when you sat in solid phalanx and
would not allow even a grammatical
error to be corrected. I was allowed
to offer amendments in the commit
tee, but only to see tbem voted down.
Mr. Blaine went on to say that one
of these appropriation bills conld not
be debated without also debating
lie other, because the clause under
discussion in tbe Army bill prohibited
tbe presence of civil officers at the
polls: be was not now speaking of
military officers. He did not believe
any gentleman on the other side bad
ever seen a military cfTicer al tbe
polls on election day.
Mr. Herf.fort, of West Virginia,
said he bad seen soldiers make ar
rests at tbe polls in bi State.
Mr Blaine When ?
Mr Herefoub In 1870, after tie
war.
Mr Blaine What did tbey ar
rest anybody for?
Mt. Hereford For the purpose
ot intimidation.
Mr. Blaine Oh ! Yes! Laugh
ter. 1
Mr. Williams, of Kentucky, euid
be knew of troops being present and
stacking their arms in the vicinity of
tbe pells in Kentucky, bo that voters
passed through files of soldiers to
vote. This was in 1SG5.
Mr. Blaine reminded him that
Kentucky was in a very disturbed
condition about that time, audit was
settled by Supreme Court decisions
tbat tbe war did not close until lSCC.
' Mr. Looan, of Illinois, said that he
knew something about the presence
of troops at tbe polls in Kentucky in
18C5. He was then commanding
C5.000 men around Louisville, and
he never saw a more peaceable elec
tion in his life. Under his orders tbe
troops kept away from tbe city and
away from the polls.
Mr. Blaine, resuming, said this
bill connected itself directly with tbe
provisions inserted by tbe Democratic
caucus ia tbe Legislative bill. They
could not be separated, for if to-day
it is enacted that no civil officer what
ever shall appear armed at tbe polls,
even if tbe rest of the Election law
were left standing, its provisions
could not be carried out, because no
Marshal or Deputy Marshal could ex
ercise his authority to preserve peace
at tbe polls. It was not proposed by
the other side to prevent the State
officers from being at the polls or
from bringing any forces tbere, bat
it was said that tbe United States, id
an election which specially concerns
tbe Federal Government, shall not
have anything to do with the conduct
ot ibat election, althoagh the Con
stitution, as broadly as language can
do so, confers upon the United States
Government this absolute control of
tbe whole subject The understand
ing of the framers of the Constitution,
as expressed by Madison and Htciil
ton, was to tbe effect that every gov
ernmeut ouptt to cuntrol in itetit tho
means' of its own preservation, and
tbat it was more consonant with just
theory (ia Mr. Mdiou'i own worda)
to intrust tbe Union with tbe care ot
its own existence tho-a to transfer
tbat care to any ctuer baada. Tne
design now was to get rid of all civil
onk-ers of the United States under
the preteuee of keeping tbe troops
away from tbe polls, aud tbe amend
ments wbich would be offered would
test the sincerity of the Democratic
side on that point and show whether
tbe Federal Government would be
allowed representation at the polls at
all except by two men of straw w ith
out aoy power, who can merely look
on. He would go so far U3 to say
tbat, it tbe bill went through in its1
present furmr the remainder - of tha
law ia regard to Marshals aud Su
pervisors would be, worth, nothing,
eincir tbere would be no Dower ve'sttd
iq the Federal Government to enforce
its provisions.
' We are told, continued Mr. Blaine,
aud it is rather a novel thing, tbat il
we do uot agree to the bills as offered
we are not to have the appropriatioas.
Tbat has been announced ia both
branches of Congress, on tbe authori
ty of the Democrttiic cuueus ; not
merely the Army appropriation
they did uot stop then: but ia tbe
Legislative bill,, as il eama, from tte
caucus, tbere i was aa apprpritu u
tor defraying tbe expenses of tbe Su
preme Court, Circuit CourtF, aud dis
trict Courts of tbe United Statts,
provided tbat certain sections of tbe
revised Statutes be repealed. He
bad always understood that tte Gov
ernment was divided into three uis
tinct departments legislative, execu
tive, and judicial. But now the legis
lative branch wp forward and says
if tbe Executive does not sign the
bills it offers, it will etarve tbe judi
ciary. This was carry iDg the matter
further thsn he had ever known it to
go before, and besides starving tbe
judiciary, the other side would refuse
to appropriate a dollar for tbe ex
penses cf the Capitol building aud
grounds, fur tbe public printing, or
or for tbe Congressional Library.
Tbe Department of State, of w hich
tbe country bad reason to be proud
for its conduct of eur foreign affairs,
was to be disabled, and our diplo
matic relations must Cfti.-e unless tbe
President signs tbeso bills. Tbe
beacobs and warning lights on 17,000
milt-s of coast mutgoout; the Mints
ot New Orleans, Denver, - b.in l'ran.
cis;o, aud Pniludelpbia must stop
the IVosi-.n Bureau must suspend
operaiiHiiS ; - all the executive tuue
tious oi the Government are taken bv
tbe thr.'-n in higbwajman style, and
commai tied to stand and 'deliver in
the onu.e cf tbu Democratic ' cancus.
No committee of either branch- of
Cong.esn had ever recommended sucb
legislation, but the Democratic cau
cus bad adopted it.. ' lie thought no
parallel to inch a policy could be
found in cur history. -
Continuing, Mr. Blaine said a lead
ing Democrat, an tlcquent man, who
has courage, frankness, and many
good qualities, boasts publicly tbat
tbe Democrats are in power for tbe
first lime in 13 years, and tbat tbey
do nut intend to stop until they have
wiped out every vestige of tbe Re
publican war measures. Forewarned
is forearmed, and tfce Democrats be
gan properly on a measure signed by
Abraham Liucola. Tbe picture was
a striking one, and a strange time
bad come wben men frtsh from the
battle-fields of tbe rebellion took their
seats here and propped to repeal the
laws enacted while they were tryiug
to.destroy tbe Union. Tbe Vice
President cfthe Confederacy bad
stated tbat for 60 or 70 years preced
ing the rebellion, from tne foundation
of tbe Government, tbe South, though
in a minority, had, by combiniog
with what be termed the a nti-centralists
ia the North, ruled the coun
try, and in 18CC the same gentleman
said, in a tpeecb before the Georgia
Legislature, that by a return to Con
gress tbe South might repeat tbe ex
periment with the same success. He
Mr. Blaine Lad read that speech at
tbe time of its delivery, and had Mule
thought be would live to see the
prophecy futfillcd. But now we see
tbote me&turts matured in a Demo
cratic caucus in which tbe South has
an overwhelming majority f'tivo
t birds ia tbe House and 30 out of 42
Senators, 23 cf whom a positive
and pronounced 'majority participa
ted in tbe war against the Union,
either in civil cr military situations,
so tbat our legislation is shaped and
fashioned by a caucus in which the
ex-Confederates have a mojority, and
Mr. Stephen's prophecy is real .?d.
Very appropriately the Congress
controlled bv tie South says to the
President, the remaining branch of
tbe Government, elected on Repub
lican principles, in opposition to tbe
party now in power, tbat be shall not
exercise bis power to veto a bilL
They ask if we call it revolutionary
to put amendments on appropriation
bills. Ol course not. " There have
been a great many amendments pet
on such bills, some raiscbievous and
some harmless, but I cell it the au
dacity cf revolution for any Senator
or Representative, or any caucus of
Senators or Repreesntatives, to get
together and say that tbey will have
certain legislation or stop the depart
ments of the Government. Tbat is
revolutionary I don't tbfok it will
be revolution. It will be a revolution
tbat will not revolve; .it won't work.
It is a revolution if persisted io, aad
if not persisted in, it must be backed
oat from igcomioiousiy, and the lat
ter will probably be tbe result
Mr. Blaine proceeded to say tbat
the extent to which the Sooth con
trolled tbe legislation of tbe country
was worth pointing out That sec
tion contained about one-third of the
population of the Union. Ia tbe lust
House of Representatives, of which
he was allowed to speak, the South
had 25 out ot tbe 42 standing com
miftees. la tbis Senate it has 22 out
of 3.4 committees. He was not catl
ing these things op just now in re
proach, bat only showing what an
admirable prophet the Vice-President
of the Confederacy was, and how
entirely true all hia" words have been,
and bow he has lived to see them
fulfilled. Mr. Blaine concluded bis
speech as follows ;
I do not profe3

One of iLe most exciting ques.icna
that t,ne girl can at-k another is that
conceroiutr the nuiubiT ar:l manner of
tho offers of martiag? r'w h-.it receiv
ed. Through sucli que i.. r.j t few
general conclusions have ix.eu reach
ed, namely, that every fcttale human
has one, every crdinari: v agreeable
to ro ale human has Iron: vo t ftiir,
every extraordinarily i. rfrg fe
male human from four to eiuh' ; also
under rarely fivorieir coatiui us of
wealib, beauty, e.-piit, :c , I male
humans may average t;f ' ve : .nder
normal coudiiiu&s, beauty ii a slight
luetor compared with - mannr. The
following' fragments of a conversation
between three girl, who met togeth
er for the pnrpose of relniiDfc some cf
tbcif experiences, may rutistamate
these averages :
. '.'We must begin," said Graceanr,,
pathetically, "lou, L;o,'-wcTeI!o

long at least, whOe I am consoling
myself with tbis 'bonne buuebe.' A
new piece cf candy be bought every
tea minutes, allowing five minutes

ker if"
"Because I never bad an clTer."
The o 1 er girls gave a low whistle
of astouisLfaent, driven by tbis unex
pected avowal into maculine demon
stration. Lou blushed end looked
extrenib'y guilty, and the tears al
most came, as she exclaimed, halting
between the words, "I-really could
not-belp-it," and then animated by a
sudden impulse cf self respect, added,
"I don't think it is nice to have of
fers. 1 should not want any man to
come near enough to me to love me,
unless I loved tim."
"How can you ever tell tht you
should like any one until be Las told
you, right up aud down V asked
Maggie, tbo other friend.
"We both should fttl it, if we did
like each ether; it would somehow
betray itself. My Lusband must be
my only lover.''
"I don't believe yuu'li ever have
one, acd such lofty idea make ordi
nary people seem wicked. I feel per
sonally iusbhed. Why, I bftvo had
Ob, teg pardon, it is not my
turn "
'Ye te U," said Lou, thankful for
a c ha lite to escape: "tell all you
cau."
"I have Lad two whole and two
half ones. It stems too bad ro let
two cf them to make guys cf them
selves, because one was a b.'otber of
a friend at whose house I have capi
tal times ; so it would have been very
inconvenient. And tbe other was a
minister, and I thought if he got dis
couraged early, it might affect his
preaching ; now he takes so many
texts from Solomon's Songs tbat bis
sermons are poetical, and don't make
people feel that tfcey are miserable
sinners. Individual love and univer
sal love get mixed up iu tbem, and
you can't tell which is
bist : if yea
love aa icdevidual you are just as
saintly as if you loved the Cosmos
alone." So 1 told them both that I
was prejudiced against marrying, and
bated love making, and that wben I
loved a man I would let bim know it
plainly."
"Then you don't like me?" said
my little minister.
"No, I don't," I told him. And
then we both laughed, and be looked
as if he bad saved himself from jump
ing off a precipice. . The other he
is a real splendid man locked me
square in the eyes, saying, in such a
grave way, 'lf you mean what you
ay, Miss Jones, I thank you." "I
do," said I, as solemnly as an eld
saint. Bnt now I wish I had let it
come to the poiut because ho is the
best of tbe wbola, aud it is disgrace
ful to be twenty-five and not even en
gaged. He went out to India soon
after, bo I am sore be did like me."
She drew a long breath, and took the
biggest piece of candy.
"What did the other two do ?"
questioned the other two girls eager
ly. "Uh.they were evCry-day kind orj
affairs. Oue was ia walking ; my j

that he would commit suicide. Anoth
er offer was made by letter and In
stead of keeping it as cordiaHor tie
despondent mood, I burnt it aa a
surety for a good time ia the next
world. If I am never married, tbe
reason will not be want cf offers.'
"And if some one should come
back from India?'' asked Gracean
na. "Ob, 1 might indicate the state of
my mind, if 1 had not grown too eld
to lnok senUaveatvL- Now it is your
turn "
"Well, this is fun, but I wish we
had not made such a compact For

fers, 1 mean. I was always surpris

"D-in't moraliza," said Maggie.
"How many? tbat is tbe point we,
went"
"Tn. Four caaaa the first winter
I was in Bociety ; the men were fools
to think I liked them, because I en
joyed polkaing with them, and every
one has since married."
"You should never have seen
them aloae," said Lou, patronizing-
I d:d not see them alone oa pur
pose," replied Graceanna, indignant
ly. "Oae of them I never spoke to
except when other persons were pres

mised six times after he had seea mo.

Oae offer was by postal card, and aa
answer requested by return mail. I
lost a baudsome opera glass through
another. 1 went with a party to the
theatre, and my friend banded me aa
.per glass, which was new, tor it
still bore the dealer's tag; and when
Ireturuedit.be whispered that as
the same focus gave tbe same vision
to both of os, would I not allow him
to view all eartbiy objects through
the 6ame lens of mutual affection.
Tbat was so scientific and obscure
tbat I said :
"What?" and he muttered, "Take
the giver with tbe gift" There we
bad to remain, side by side, till tbe
play was over, with our eyes fasten
ed on tbe stage. , Oh, I lost, too, a
beautiful rosewood dressing case, fill
ed with perfume bottles and brushes
and ail sorts of things, because it was
tor mu'.ual sarvice. I sent it back to
the fellow, witb a case cf razors for
individual service. Father still teas
es me about my expensive present I
know some one who now has the
dressing tMse, for it was too valuable
not to be used, aad when I go to her
bouse I always use with secret
amusement their mutual clothes
brush.
"On? man was nearly the mot
splendid person I ever kaew. I did
get so far as to state my require
ments, because it is my fixed code
that even if I ain dead ia love, I
won't say yes until my lover tells me
bis past life, has promised me aa al
lowance, freedom to attend my own
church, to be strong-miaded and have
just as many queer friends aa 1
choose, to vote, and aiaa some two
or three things ia regard I myself.
He did promise me all I wanted for
myself (should not I have been rich?)
but he thought I ought ta trust him
for himself, and that it was not femi
nine to ask about his past life. So
we parted, for neither cf as would
yield. Another gentleman I knew
was determined to be married. He
wrote three letters and sealed them,
sending the first lo aie, tbat if a neg
ative reply came back, he would
mail the second without incurring tbe
trouble of composition, wben in an
annoyed mode, and then told cf it af
terwards. Another gentleman imi
tated tbe Indian's custom, by send
ing me. not a ccrd of real wood, but
a bonbon imitation of one ; request
ing that the warmth cf tbe same fire
provided by tbis would-be wood migtt
cbecr as both. The other affairs
were simple in speech, but manlv.
just like those you read of in novels.
and I can't bear to think of them. 1
am so sorry, that is all."
"I know another one you will have
to-nigbt," said Lou. Graceanna
searched eagerly'for the bottom stick
of candy, whilst Maggie cast sundry
winks and inquiring glances at the
speaker, who quickly bethought her
self how to make a sudden detour
from her assertion by asking why a
kiss was like a sermon, "Because it
demands an introduction."
"Well,'.' said Leu, laughing, "let
us draw some generalizations from
our personal confessions ; and first, I
wish to say that self-conscious girls
are to blame for having offers. Bat
those who never think about them
selves, for instance, like you two, and
who do not think about men, bat
treat them naturally, as they would
any one else, and are always jolly,
cannot avoid offers, are no more
blameworthy than for having girl
friends. Yet I wish you had not re
ceived so many. If 1 only cared mere
for culture and poor people it would
not have happened."
The editor of the Okolona (Miss.)
Slates, who so devoutly thanked God
tbat the Confederates bad captured
the Capitol, is accused of havingstol
en from $2,000 to $3,000 of the yel
low fever funds sent from the North,
and to have spent it in gambling.
There must be some mistake about
this. Such an ardent patriot as the
editor cf the Okolona Stale would
never be guilty of an act so uncbiv
alrous as stealing tnocey from the
sick and dying.
