THE UNITED STATES LAWS ABB PUBLISHRD BY AUTHORITY TN Till PRNNSYLVANIA DAILY TELEGRAPH HARRISBURG, PA Saturday Morning, February. 8, 1882. SPEECH OF HON. S. B. ELLIOTT. We print this 'morning, on our first page, the very eloquent speech of Hon. S. B. Elliott, of Tioga county, delivered in the Housepf Repre sentatives on Monday evening last. The speech was in response to the remarks of Hon. Geo. W. Zeigler, who had indulged in a defense of the claim of Jesse . D. Bright to a seat in the United States Senate, the debate in the House then being on tile Senate resolution instructing our Senators in Congress to vote for the expulsion of the traitor Bright from his seat in the Senate of the United States. Some men are bora great—some have great ness thrust upon them, while others again la: bor for years before they are able to earn or achieve the true quality of greatness and re known. In this respect, Representative Zeigler, on Monday evening last, labored for a great nese which no doubt he would be perfectly willing to resign, since his awakened sense has taught him tbat in the expression of a sentiment there is as much force as in the performance of a deed, notwithstanding philosophers teach us that actions speak louder than words. Du ring the debate in the Hume on Monday eve ning last, on Cessna's amendment to the Senate resolution instructing our Senators in Congress to vote for the expulsion of Jesse D. Bright from his seat as a United States Senator, Rep resentative Zeigler was very happy. Re was spirited—he was sublimely eloquent, but it was the eloquence of sympathy for treason and defence of traitors. It was not to be wondered that the people of Jefferson county, the home of Zeigler, presented him a rope with noose and knot, as he coufeeted they had done, if the same sentiments cbaracteiized hie . private life ai those Which disgraced his career es a repre sentative, on the. occasion referred to i because a max holding such doctrines arid sentiments, deseives substantialadmonishnienfandcUrbing, thenkh the representative from Jefferson would euircely relish the lesson, •so suggestive of diminished respiration by the tender of a rope with nom and knot. ' ' It was in reply tO the speech of Zeigler that the eloquent and patriotic remarks of Mr. Elliott were elicited. It will be ob erved by a perusal, that the speaker holds the , true ground of an American citizen only occupying one position in this contest. He cannot be loyal while Jae sympathizes with, or apologizes for traitors. He must devote his energies and resources to the government, and when he fails to do this, he is Undeserving not only of the confidence of that government, but unworthy of a seat in its legislative halls. We commend Mr. Elliott's speech to the careful perusal of our readers. wear Idsx AT Roma has a friend in the army, whom he should not forget. It is within hit reach and ability to do that friend much service, in the way of small favors, among the most acceptable of which is the transmission of news to the absent one. The cheapest manner of dispatching such news, is by . the mailing of nowspepers. Let every man, therefore, pur chase and mail a newspaper to his fiend in the army. Let them purchase and mail their loco . papera to their Mends, as the most acceptable attention and rensemberance that can be ex tended the soldier. The mailing of the litsuincenaa -TELEGRAPH, for instance, would be the most acceptable courtesy , that could pos sibly be extended to any of, the volunteers from this locality'. Let their friends at home re member Ills feet, and act accordingly. A NNW PROPORITION is soon to be offered in the Senate, in the shape of a separate and inde pendent war tax for five yew's, and of a hun dred Millions annually, to be set apart for the it of the public debt, and the gradual ex tinguishment of the debt itself. A majority of the Senate is set down as certainly opposed to tbe, :legal -tender clause of the bill now before the 'House,and should it pass the House it will' probably be defeated in the Senate. Mr. Col lamer, Mr: BroWning, Mr. Cowan and Mr. Hale, four of the ablest lawyers in the Senate, are op posed to this clause of the House bill -and 'the principle involved therein, or, at least, such' is the understanding here. Other Senators of equal ability are in favor of the measure, it is but fair to state.

THE STONE FLEET. In the opinion of the New York Evening Post few things more insolent than the protest Of the British government against our helping the blockade of the rebel ports by sinking stone fleets can well be imagined. The United States Is yet an existing power, and has a right to close any of its own ports that it pleases. But the inference is particuiarly insolent coming from Great Britain, which has set the example of such a resort. In the year 1779, during our Revolutiorugy war, theliavannah Aver was checked 111) under British authority by sinking old hulks in it, and as late as 1853 thli com missioners of the United States' appointed to survey the river reported officially that they "were a serious impediment" toj the naviga tion. We had to'appropriate money to get the wrecks removed. We have already referred to the attempt to close the harbor of Boulogne in France,in 1804, as. narrated by Scott in his life of Napoleon ,and confirmed by a secret letter of Lord Hobart to Sir A. S. Hammond,: Comptroller of the Navy. In reference to the , letter, `Southey, in his Om zdana (yol. 2. p. $l,) as ,we are reminded by a correspondent, wrote as follows: When the Duke of Burgundy besieged Cal ais, in 1486, he invented the notable project of blocking up the harbor with stone ships, and sunk era vessels dlled with immense stones, which were worked together and clamped with lead. The experlinerit failed for this reason, that the Duke had forgotten to take the . . tides into hiticalculation ;. so at low water the atone ships were left dry, and the' pepple of Calais, men and women alike amused themselves with pulling them to , pietes,and . hauling away the wood for fuel, its the , great' Mibinishnient, the historian. adds, of the Duke and his Adiairals "Had thie story found its way into„the pop ular historiea of England, this country wkiuld have been saved , the disgrace of similar folly, and the ninety thousand pounds which were wasted upon it. But it has been the fashions of modern historians to reject' a.l the circum stances' of hiStory, rind give only a citput mor Mum of results. That a rikst Lord of the Ad miralty should have read Monstrellet was not to be expected ; but it might hive been ex pected that beswould have known what the rise of the tide is at Boulogne." We might add to this that Admiral Lewis sank five vessels loaded with stones in the nar row paesage of the harbor of Alexandria in .1807 after his de,parture from that port. We • .might also have added that in the month of July, in the year 1809, an expedition ~ konwe as the "Walcheieu Expedition" sailed from the Downs. The, fleet ,consisted of. two hun dred and forty-five veeaels'of war, and it con veyed four hundred transports containing forty thousand` oldiers.' The naval fOrce was under the command of Admiral Strachm, and the land forces under Lieutenant-General the Earl of Chatham. The object of the expedition, in the words of the British navalhistorian Allen, was "an attack on the French shipping in Flushing, and for the purpose of destroying all the enemy's works in the Scheldt, which was to be no longer navigable for ships of war." The expedition, though a miserable failure as a whole, succeeded in one Mtentibu. The his. torten informs his readers that "the basin, ar senal and sea, defences of ,Flushing were de stroyed, and the port. rendered, for some time at' kass, !stifle fora French civet" We do not refer to Admiral Napier's suggestion' fOr cloeing bronstadt, by sinking hulki; inasmuch as it was never actedon ; and yet it is worthy of remark that it was not condemned in the prints as savage 'endleathenish. By a strange coincidence, the very mails that bring us denunciations of the stone fleet bring us also the report of the arrival of a large 7eseel idEcigland frem.Charleston. The very papers which put forth the denunciations put forth also the assertion that the Oharletto plans do not complain of, a proceediug , which really improves their main inlets. These, facts ought to have enlightened the British writers as to the objects of our government. It has • never intended to close the harbors of Charles ton or Savannah altogether, but merely to aid itself in the suppression of the contraband trade.. j iTh9gt! , (1 29 # 8 .14,7 13,1 ferni•NP,03 %! 1 .40i it WOritil require many vessels to guard.

If the United' States, for its own purposes, should close the approaches "to New York by Long Deland Sound, or through the Kills, could we not properly do so without consulting foreign nations? Tim Filmes OF Taarroas in Missouri are made to pay tribute for , the support of those families who were driven from their homes in lower Missouri by the rebels. Lately an auction was held, in St. Louis of property seized — and taken from such sympathizers as had refused, to..pay their proportion of this , tribute.

AUGUSTA, February 5. Private letter, written last evening in Savannah, and received here this morning, states heavy firing was heard in the direction of New river, on the South Caro lina side on Monday morning, which lasted for over four hours. It was supposed to be an engagement with the enemy's gunboats. A messenger who reached here this morning says, he was informed by a coot derate officer In Savannah, that oar batteries at New river bad been attacked, and that one at least of the federal gunboats had been destroyed. The Charleston Mercury of to-day says that the firing heard yesterday was at the Red bluff. The enemy destroyed the houses in the neigh borhood. Noho 1y hurt. Gen. Price is in Richmond.

The troops at Norfolk are being sent south very rapidly to repel the advance of the federal troops into the cotton States There are but few soldiers to be seen in Norfolk rum.

Great numbers of the soldiers exprese dissatisfaction with the course which has been pursued by the rebel government in this particular. Congress--First Session, IN SENATE. Wasnuirctron, Feb. 7.
