In the Court of Coin 111011 Pleas of Cum berland County. , habeas Corpus for the body of Joseph M. Lealco. Opinion of Graham, PreWent Judge. The evidence in tins case is that Jo seph M. Leak° was born the nineteenth of December, 1855, enlistment paper is dated the twenty-second of July, 1870.' De was therefore underlhe ago of eigh teen years. ' Licut, Gardner appeal's on part of the United - States, and resists the discharge of the recruit for the following reasons : I.—That State Courts have no juris diction-in cases of - enlistment under the laws of the United States. 2.—That the oath of the minor, as to his age, is conchisive upon the Court. • B.—That under the actbf the tenth of December, 1814, minors over the ago of eighteen may be legally enlisted without the consent of parents or guardians. The second and third reasons assigned why the recruit ought not to be dis charged, aro not sustained by the evi dence, and. consequently not applicable . o this case. The enlistment paper Only „. the recruit was aged twenty-one years, and some months, and then follows the usual oath of allegiance. It is not al leged that the recruit was sworn as to his ago ; there is no'oath to bind him or• any other person.- The proof is that ho ryas and still is under the ago of eighteen years; and it id not alleged there is any law authorizing the enlistment of minors under that age.: ' • The only remaining question is :•Ilave State Courts jurisdiction to discharge minors-by writ of 110)&69 eo n )u - s, enlisted in the army of theajnited States; I say illegally, for it is liot alleged there is any act of. Congress authoriiing the enlistment of minors under the age of eighteen, without the consent of ; parent or guardian.,' ' Tho Supecine Court of PennSylvaMa Lave hold.that.ther. had.

Thissectionimposes a penalty on any offi cer who shall It noWingly enlist any person under the ago of sixteen years, either with or Nylthouttho -consent of parents or guardians. -- It is argued that under the acts of the 'twenty-fourth of February, and the . y, 1364, giau,d thu puWer to discharge minors, who applied when under the ago of eighteen, to the Secre tary of. War-; .oongress provided a special mode in which minors. who ap plied when under the age of eighteen, could be discharged, and that this is the only remedy. That the power to dis charge thus given to .the Secretary of War, in fact suspended the power of the Courts, either State or National, to•dis charge recruie§, by habeas fi corits, when they enlisted under the ago of, eighteen years. This argument is fortified by the opinion of Judge Daly of the Common Pleas of New York. I cannot concur hi the opinion of this learned jurist. The privilege of this great common law writ, cannot be taken away by implication. And granting the same power to the Sec rotary of War, which existed in the Courts does not, even by implication, repeal, or suspend the exercise of the power of the Courts. There maybe concurrent jurisdiction in two distinct tribunals. It is well settled law that a grant of power in the Federal constitu tion to Congress, does not extinguish the right of the States over the same sub ject,. until Congress shall have exercised the powez conferred. The jurisdiction of the States is only taken away, or pro hibited by implication. When the con stitution grants nu authority to the Un ion to which a similar authority in the States would be absolutely and totally contradictory avid repugnant. See opin ion of Sup. Court of Penn's, and au thorities there cited : Weaver vs. Fegoly Bro,. 5 Cagey 27. .• It is not pretended that exclusive power is given to the Secretary of War to discharge Milloe9 enlisted tinder the age of eighteen, but . because the• power is given to him, I :rin asked to.say this power is exclusively vested in the Secre tary, and the writ of habeas corpus, this writ of right for the protection of every citizen from illegal restraint, cannot is sue from the State or United States Courts ; ford(' the argument is tenable, that exclusive jurisdiction of theso - cases is given tialie 'Secretary of War, by the Act of Congress of 1864, it takes away the jurisdiction as well of the - United States Courts as of the State Courts. If Con g ress intended to give the Sec retary of War exclusive jurisdiction, and deprive the soldier of thoprivilege of the writ of habeas corpus, I doubt their constitutional power to do so.; for tho constitution of the United States declares: ".The privilege of the writ of habeai corpus shall not be suspended, unless when in cases of rebellion or invasion the public safety may require it." If the solo and exclusive power to discharge Minors who enlist under the ago of eigh teen years, is giVen to the Secretary of - InliM i trertiartetrequtdad m mitted case of illegal enlistment, directly contrary to the acts of Congress, and no power, State or National, authorized to' grant relief. 'Plus, • a minor .under eigh teen enlists, the :enlistment is clearly illegal, but before his-parent has knowl edge of it, or 'can make application for - his discharge, the son attains the ago of eighteen. The Secretary is powerless, for the ace of 1864 only authorizes hint to. discharge thoso who wore under , eighteen _years' at - thii linie of the application for their discharge. If the Courts cannot grant relief,-.this would,he'n clear case of illegal enlistment, without the sanction of law ; illegal detention, and no power, either State -or National, authorized to restore the minor to his parent.. A con struction of, an act of Congress which Would work so groat a wrong, Ought; if it reasonably, elinitictirlctaVoided. Tho action of CongreSs on this subject is not difficult :to understand. On The fifteenth of September, 1803, the Priv dlogo of the writ of habeas corpus, was suspended generally, in pursuance / Wan act of Congress of third of March,' 1803; by _proclamation of the President. Thus there Was no authority vested in any ono to discharge enlisted soldiers, although, of very: tender age, the, act of 1850 having been repealed tho act of imp. , 'l'a remedy this. evil, Congress first, passed th 6 tict of twenty-fourth bf February, 1804,. authorizing the Secretary' dis charge minors , who, wore under the' ago or. eighteen, but leaving_ it, optional with hiiu, using the langintgo , ',hay discharge. This was followed by the act of fourth' of Jitlyi.lBo4,- totho samo effect,,. but making the. dischato .oprapubory, Using tho4anguage -MO discharge, power of 'the Secretary • was Limited to tholle who applied before thoYwereolgh-' 004 . and; although . enfilutmententider eighteen. wars novor. _author/74d by: any act of - Girl real, those who failed to ap ply.)sofo.ro 1110 S' attained that ago wore hibiting the enlistment of 'a minor into the Marine Golly , . Thus far the jurisdiction of our State Courts to discharge minors enlisted with out the consent of parents or guardian was not questioned. Tho next case find-reported is. the _Commonwealth vs. Fos, 7 Barr 386. In that case the ques tion of jurisdiction was raised, and ruled by the MO that the State Courts had jurisdiction: - Coulter J. who delivered the opinion of the Court,' citing cases in. New York, -Massachusetts and ,Virginia, in which the State Courts exercised ju risdiction in cases of enlistment. The case of Abelman vs. Booth, 21 Howard U. S. Rep. 405, is 'relied on as ruling this question against the jurisdic tion of the State 'Courts. But that case only ruled that a person in custody upon the process or the - United States Court, or, a -judicial -oilicer, , could- not ..be dis charged upon habeas 'corpus by a State judge. It is different from the present. There the prisoner. was _ legally in .cus, tody by process issued-by a judicial offi cer, competent to issue the same, and no other Court could interfere to take the prisoner out of the custody of . the - Court to which he was aineuL able. In this case, the recruit is not in ,custody by virtue of anyjudicial writ, or process. Gen. Blake claims to hold him by virtue of his enlistment in the army of the United States. Au enlistment paper is produced to justify his deten tion, and the evidence shows that the recruit is a minor under the age of eighteen years, and enlisted without the consent of his father, who claims his ser vice and asks his discharge. No act of Congress is produced to au thorize the enlistment of a minor under the age of eighteen without the consent of parents or guardian. On the contrary, it is probibited. But it is further con tended that although the enlistment . may be illegal 'and not' authorized by an act of Congress, the 'Secretary of War alone can grant relief,,and the writ.of habeas corpus is suspended in Cases of this kind ; and this by virtue of the - act- of the twenty-fourth of February, and the 'fourth of July, 1864. The twentieth section 'of the act of the twenty-fourth of February ; 1864, piovides • 'ghat—the Secretary of War may — ordeFthe discharge of all persons in the military service, who are under the ago of eighteen years at the time of the application for their dtsiiharge, when-it shall appear upon due proof that such persons are in the service without the . . . loft without any mode of procuring their discharge. Such enlistments wore clearly unauthorized, but there Was no power or tribunal authorized to direct their discharge. The Courts and judges of. the States aiid Nation Wore powerless, by reason of-the- suspension of the writ of habeas corpus, and limited 'powers to discharge minors of tender age, wore given to the Secretary to meet tiro emer gency. But I cannot suppose that Con gross intended the limited polders given to the Secretary during this emergency should have the effect of suspending the writ of habeas Corp us, -- aftbf its suspen sion, tinder the. proclamation of the President terminated.. : For the reasons stated, my opinion is, That the enlistMent of Joseph M. Loako was illegal, and prohibited by acts of •Congress. That State Courts have ju risdiction, to discharge minors, as ruled by numerous decisions- of the ElOpremo Court of Pennsylvania, which I_consider binding upon_me, and_that the _Octs_of twenty-fourth of February and fourth of July, 1804, do not confer exclusive ju risdiction upon the Secretary.of War. I (rave, thoreforo"ordered the discharge of Joseph M. Leake, as per order of dis .chargd endorsed on writ. • • During ray absence two writs - wore awarded by Judge Stuart associatejudge, ' at the instance of the parents, against ; General Blake. - Ono for the discharge of John Blomler, and the other for the discharge of John W. Myers. The cases wore all hoard, at the same time, and my opinion in the cases of Blemler and Myers was requested by Judge. Stuart, in which ho concurred, and Blomler and Myers were dis Charged. The facts in these cases as proved, were, that Blomlerand Myers were, when they enlisted,. and now are between eigh teen and twenty-one years of ago. That they enlisted without the consent of their parents, who claim their services, and ask for their discharge.. Captain Cain, the recruitin,g officer, swars that 'Myers, in addition to the oath of allegi ance, swore that he was twenty-one years of ago ; but Blemler only took the usual oath of allegiance. Myers denies, on oath, that he swore he was twenty-one year&of ago. . Iu those cases the discharge is resisted by Lieut. Gardener, for the reasons be fore stated in the case of Make— that case I have stated -my opinioni_fuily, as to the jurisdiction of the Courts. - I will only add, that no authority being given to. the Secretary of .War, by the• act.of 1804, to .discharge, when the re cruit is over the age of eighteen, the argument that the authority conferred, by the act of 1864 excludes the interpo sition of the Courts is inapplicablb to the present cases of Blemlor and Myers: Admitting that Myers was sworn to his age, is his oath conclusive upon his pa rent? This question was presented jp case of Com. vs. Gen.. Blake; 2d Legal Gazelle 108, (twenty-fomth of June, 1870,) and in that case I expressed the following - opinlott: " The act of Congress of 1862, certainly makes the , oath of the minor conclusive as to his age upon some -one, or, for some purpose. It cannot be conclusive upon the parent or guardian, for I cannot Suppose that Congress, having so care fully guarded the rights of :parents in the different acts on the subject of enlist.: ment, intended-that a son, by a false oath, could absolVe himself from - the common _ . law chitY of services duo to his parent during his minority. - • Btit it is conclusive upon the minor-as to his age. When an act is- declared to be conclusive, it is understocid that it is decisive, 'binding, and-cannot be controverted by the person who performs it; hence the oath of the recruit is binding upon him as to his age, and exempts the recruiting officer from the penalty imposed for enlisting soldiers under the age ottwenty-ono years with out the consent of parents or guardians." It would be an anomaly in legislation to make the act of a party binding upon a stranger to - it, and Who was affected by it, and it is'a legal axiom, that even the ,judgments of Courts are only conclusive upon parties and privies. That the oath of enlistment taken by the recruit as to his ago is not binding on the Courts, is ruled .by Judge Mc- Candless, of the U. 8. District Court, in Turner vs. Wright, -0 Phila. Rep. 290, t2O Vol. Legal Intelligence, p. 21.) In that case Judge McCandless says, "Con gress never intended that the oath, how ever false, should be binding on the Courts, or give 'validity to a contract which an unrepealed'idatuto declared to be illegal" Tito remaining position assumed by the Government is : That under the acts of tenth of December, 1814, minors. over the age of eighteen may be enlisted, with') u I the consent of parents sr guar dians. The first act of Congress on the subject or enlistments to which it is ndcessary to refer; is the act •of *cteenth of March, 1802, which provides r !` That, np.person under the age of tiVenty-ono years shall be enlisted by any officer, or held in the service of the United States, without the consent of his parent or guardian first had and obtained, if any he have." The next legislation on this subject is the act of twentieth of January 4 1813, which provides : " That no person.under the ago of tweety-one years shall ho enlisted by any ()Meer held in the service of the United States without the consent, in writing, of his parent, guar dian, or master, first had and obtained, if any lie have." Then followed the act of tenth of De cember, 1811. The first section of which enacted, "That from and after the pas sing of this act, each and every commfs sioned officer, who shall be employed in the recruiting service, shall.bo and lie hereby is, anthorizo4 to enlist into the army, of the United States, any free, effective, able-bodied eau between the ages of eighteen and fifty years ; which enlistment shall be absolute and bind ing upon all persons under the ago of twenty-ono years, its well as upon par sons of full age ; such recruiting offi cor having eoknplied ioithi all the requisi tions.of the laws regulating the recruit ing service." The third section of the c....o44.retrides," That so much of the flrtrsaatton of t i3Mrtrirs&rairf tioth of January, 1813; as requires, the consent in writing of the- parent, guar dian, or master to authorize the enlist ment of persons under the ago of twenty one years, shall 'be, • anti - the same .is hereby repealed." The first section of the act of tho tenth of Dommffier, 1814, is relied upon as a uthori z ing the enlistment of minors, over the ago of eighteen without consent of ilia-parents or guardians, but I cannot soo how such' construction can be given to it without ignoring entirely tho latter clauSe of the section, to wit : "Such recruiting' °nicer having complied with all the requisitions of the laws regulating the recruiting ser 'vicp." Tho erdistinent of a Miii()K over eighteen, was only binding upon , him,,ll the recruiting 'officers ' compliod: with 'all the requlsitions of the laws regidativ, ing the recruiting service"what were. the requisitions of the laws regulatitig t the, recruiting rervice ? The laws regu , Wing recruiting at that timo, as "to the enlistment of minors, wero the ads of 1802 and 1813. Tho act of 1802, provided: " That no person under the ago of twenty .one years shall be enlisted by any officer, or. hold in the servico , of the United 'Btates without the consent of his parents Or guardiam or master, first had and ob tained, if any he had—and " impoistid n ponaltYon Officers enlisting minors' uder the ago of twenty-one, without such con sent. The' aotiof 1813 is a transcript of the act of 1802, except, that the Consent of the parent, & e., is required . to'bo in writing. These worn the laws, the ' re quisitions of which the aotof.. 1814, re quired:the recruiting officer, to comply with in..4.llMoulistruerit, of.minors over tighteen yoarii of.ago. „Tho third Section of - the' abt of 1814; whioli ropealSse much' of the'aet 1810, as roqiiiresthm consent;' in:writing, of the parent, guardian;: :or. - Master to anthorizo tho -onlistnnit of Lamont; under the age of twenty-ono years, shows clearly that Congress did net intend to repeal the whole of the fifth section of the act of 1813. If-they had so intended, they would have said so, and not limited the repeal to so much of the fifth section as required, consent in writing. - :The - act of 1813, striking out the words, "in writing," is now identical with the act of--1802, both re quiring the consent of the parent, mas ter, or guardian to the enlistment of a per son, under the ago of twenty-ono years. That Congress did riot intend' to repeal -the provisions of the acts of- .1802 and 1813, requiring the consent, o the pa yenta to the enlistment of their Minor sons, I "consider, self-evident, -from the provisions of the act of the twenty eighth of September, 1850, the fifth sec stion of which provides.: " That it shall be the doty,of the Secretary Of War to order the discharge any soldier of the army of the United States, who, at the time of his enlistment was under the ago of, twenty-ono -years, upon--evidence be ing produced to him that such enlist ment was without the consent of his pa rents, or guardian." • I cannot suppose that Congress would require the Secretary of War.to discharge soldiers legally enlisted under previous acts of Congress. If the enlistment of, - minors without consent of parents was authorized by the aot of 1814,-as argued in this case ' why, in 1850, would- Con gress direct the Secretary of War to dis charge from the army any k who have en:. listed under this age of twenty-one with out tile parents' consent. The act of 1850 is clear evidence of the mind of Congress that there were no laws authorizing the enlistment of minors without their parents' consent. That the enlistment of a minor over the ago of eighteen years is illegal and unauthorized by any. act of Congress, is ruled by Judge McCandless, of the U. S. District Court, in. Turner vs. Wright, Phila., Rep. 296, (20 Legal Intern-, gencer, 21,) and Henderson vs. Wright, ib., 299, (20- Legal Int. 191.) In both cases the recruit was Over eighteen years of -age at the time Of enlistment. These cases were decided in 1863. The act of 1862 repealed the fifth sec tion of the act of thirteenth of February, 1850, whielCreyitired the --- Se - cretary,l of War to discharge any soldier who, at the time of his enlistment was under the age of twenty-one years, upon evidence that such enlistment was without the consent of his parent or guardian; " andfiirther provided," that no person under the ago of eighteen shall be recruited into the United States servietk It prohibited en listments under the age of eighteen years, but it 'did not authorize enlistments between the ages of eighteen and twenty one years, without the consent of parents or guardians. It was, doubtless, con sidered unnecessary . again, to prohibit the enlistment of minors without their parents consent, fo> this was expressly prohibited by the unropealed acts of 1802 and 1813, and_a.penalty_imposed upon any recruitingofficer- for enlisting any person under the age of twenty-one years, Thus was the law on the fifteenth of September, 1803, when the privilege of the writ of Itabeaes• corpus was suspended by proclamation of the President. The power of the Secretary of War; to dis charge minors Under the actof 1850, had been repealed by. the act of 1862. The Courts amPjudgeS wore Towerless, - by reason of the President's proclamation, and - there was no authority tlnit could be exercised by any person or tribunal, to discharge minors nfmny ago. This state of things induced the act of twenty-fourth February, 1864, which authorized the Secretary of War to dis- charge minors under the ago of eighteen years, at the time of the application for their discharge. This act was not com pulsory, but gave the power to the Sec retary, leaving its exercise optional with him. This was followed by the act of fourth of July of the same year , which directed that the Secretary "Stall dis charge minors under the ago of eighteen years, under the circumstances, and on the conditions prescribed in-the twentieth section of the act of twenty-fourth Feb ruary, 1804. The acts of twenty-fourth of February and fourth of July, 1804,, did not authorize the enlistm6nt of mi nors over the age of eighteen years, without the consent,of their parents, but only prescribed a mode, during the sus pension of the writ of habeas corpus, in which those under eighteen could be dis charged. There 4s nothing in the acts of 1804 which is in conflict with, or re peals the acts of 1802 and 1813. The result of the legislation on this subject waft, that although there is not law authorizing the enlistment of minors of any age, without consent of parents or guardians, but it is prohibited ; yet, if minors over the age of eighteen, did en -list, during the war, and the suspension of the habeas corpus, Congress,. during the continuance of the war, did not think Proper to authorize their discharge ; but permitted them to have the privilege of evincing their patriotism)vhich induced their miliatinent, or rendering an equiva lent fcir the bounty received. But with _ . tho restoration of pdace, the suspension of the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus terminated. There no longer ex ists any necessity to deprio parents of the common law right to the service of their minor sonsovho have been nurtured .and maintained to approaching manhood, to crush Mit a rebellion against the gov ernment. And Courts and judges aro again permitted to • issue this ancient writ, so highly prized by our ancestors, to to restore to liberty any person illegally restrained or confined, "'under any. colour, or pretence, ichateccr.' I ani, therefore, of , tfpinion that the oath of . the recruit, as to his age, is,, not conclusive upon his parents, or the Court, ; and that there is no act of Congress an thorizing the enlistment of minors with- out the consent of their parents or goal* dians. . Judge Stuart, concurring in the fore . going opinion, directed Bicplier and Myers to be discharged from the custody' of General Blake. • THE REPUBLICAN PARTY.

The slave masters,- in the Pride 4 and arrogance of power, instantly, plunged the nation into the fire and blood of civil war. But the Mpublican party rose With the. crisis. It raised money in unstinted measure, organized vast armies, created powerful navies, fought bloody battles, crushed the most gigantic reb - ellion of 'all recorded history, and saved the nation's life. It was then, amid the clash'of arms, that the Republican party.. taw that slavery was the- relentless and unappeasable foe of the country, was the' inspiration, the heart and - soul of that civil war; and that its death would be the annihilation of the rebellion, the unity of the Republic and the developinent 9f free institutions. Against cowardly fears, selfish instincts ' and unreasoning passions and prejudices, it pronounced the doom 9f that hideous and hbrrid system of human bondage, though it was upheld by the aggregated interests of three, thousand million of dollars, hedged about by the accumulated pasSions and- prejudices, prides and am= bitions of seven generations, and in trenched within the social, political, and ecclesiastical organizations and affilia tions of life. By a -series of executive and legislative acts it broke the chains, and lifted from the depths of chattelheed up to the summits of manhood four and a-half millions of hapless bondsmen, and stood them before the nations with their riven fetters-in one hand and their title deeds to freedom in the other. . The war ended, the rebellion subdued, the bondsmen emancipated, the Republi can party enured upon the third era of its eventful history. Though conquered by arms the rebels did not accept the just, humane, and, generous, ideas of Abevictors, victors, nor did they return to their proper allegiance and loyalty to the Government; but still bemoaning the "lost ,cause," they remained nnsubdued in will and unrepentant in spirit and purpose. Though made free, the bond men were homeless, without property, without employment, subjectto the cruel laws against free people of eoleir which had always disgraCed Sodthern legisla tion, and in the_ midst of a people exas perated bidefeat, and maddened by their loss of power still longer to hold and oppress. Property Was swept away, industry disorganized, society disinte gr*d; and States were without lawful governments. Upon the Republican party devolved the task of reconstruction. To its intrinsic difficulties were added the intense hos tility ofthe ex-rebels, the lingering preju dices long engendered by the slave 'sys tem, the timid counsels of conservatism, and the apostasy of the Executive. Great interests and powerful combina tions sought to so re-construct the South as - to place the power in the hands of -the late slaveholding class, and-leave the helpless freedmen the abject Condition of practical serfdom. • Seldom in history has there been imposed upon any body of men a work of greater', maghitudo or difficulty- The Republicang might have shrunk from and avoided it. They were sorely tempted to do 'so. But they re sisted the temptation of official power and patronage, the threats of Executive dictation and all other adverse influences, and with sublime fidelity and courage addressed themselves to the lierculanean task. To aid In re-organizing disordered in dustries, caring for, protecting and in structing the emancipated bondmen in the now duties of their changed Condi tion, the Republicans established the Freedmen's Bureau,- which, by the wise expenditure of a few millions of dollars, did an incalculable work of order, peace, and the re-habilitation of Southern so ciety. To re-construct rebellious States on the solid basis of equal rights, they gave suffrage to the freedmen in the re .ccinstruction measures. To secure citizen ship and civil rights to a wronged and hated race, they proposed and adopted the Fourteenth Amendment, and enacted the bill of Civil Rights. To establish by irreversible guaranties, equal political rights and privileges, they adopted the Fifteenth Amendment, and as a crown ing act for freedom they provided by law for the enforcement of those amendments thus newly enshrined within the Constitu tion. Thus the Republicans, againstthe sternest opposition, against appalling obstacles, have struggled on until the rebel' States, reconstructed on the basis of impartial liberty, have been restored,' and the sublime doctrines of the Declara tion of Independence made assured and practical realities. In, the progress of the ages it has-been given to few, in any form or by any modes, to achieve a:work so vast, so grand; so beneficent, so sure, to bo recorded by history, and applauded and remembered by coming generations. Having achieved this grand work— having passed through these three eras of its history—tho Republican party, en 'tering oa its fourth era, was summoned to deal with questions relating to the nationardebt—the -currency, finances, and taxation—to reforms in tne military, ,naval, and Indian service, and whatever rediaming burdens and legacies wore left by the war. Concerning theSe questions there are apparent diversities of interests, and real differences of opinion. The so-. !talons of sonic of them aro embarrassed by grave difficulties: They require time, as well as finnheial skill and practical statesmanshiP; „for R their adjustment inmeckot.opinion-oninattercrserfe , condite and complex, in an organization embracing se many men or large intelli gence:trained to habits' of independent thomilit, expression, and modes of action, aro inevitable.' They are, indeed, to be expected and desired, for . from such freedom of discussion truth is elicited and proper modes of action are deduced.

If there ard'Republionnii who Ore• weary of the ascendency of a party which' has achieved such crowning victories who are tired of the responsibilities of power, and would relinquish it to other hands, they should remember that there are none worthy to accept it. For surely r they cannot- fail to see • that the Demo cratic party, by its policy during the closing years of its power, and by its blind and unrelenting opposition to re formatory measures while out of power, even now, as if smitten by judicial blind ness, refusing to accept the Constitu tional Amendments as fixed and final, has demonstrated its utter incapacity for such a trust. Accustomed to success oven against fearful odds and underrating, perhapS, the intrinsic; difficulties of the pending issues, many Republicans looked to Gen. Grant's administration with high raised expectations. Of course they have been impatient, and not always satisfied with results. But while these expectations have not been fully realized in the action of either the President or of CongrOss, much has been achieved ; enough,at any rate,„to satisfy them that the difficult prohlems will be wrought out and the hoped for results accomplished., - Grant came into office pledged to maintain, inviolate, the public faith, re-. duce the national debt, diminish taxation, appreciate the currency, reform abuses. in the civil and military service, and maintain order in the &Mks -lately in re bellion. By the - combined action of dab President, the heads of departments, Congress and the General of the Army, many abuses ,have been corrected and many reforms inaugurated. President Grant's Indian policy is bringing forth evidences of its justice; its humanity and wisdom. The firm, just and generous policy of tile Administration toward the States lately in rebellion has brought much of order and security, and Crimes have largely dinfinished. ,In the inter- eats of economy, the, services of thous ands of employees, Both bcivil and„mili tary, have been dispensed with. The' currency has been appreciated in value by tens and scores of millions of dollars, and the national credit has been largely strengthened. . Without any increase in the articles subject to taxation' or in.the rate of tax ation, the revenues of the fiscal' year, ending the thirtieth of June, 1870, were nearly four , hundred and nine millions of dollars, against le - ss than three hundred and seventy-one million's for the year ending the thirtieth - of June, 1869, show ing a gain of nearly thirty-eight millions of dollars. On the other hand, the ex penses of the fiscal year, 1870, were less than those of 1869 by more than twenty nine millions ordollars, thus showing an increased revenue and saving in expendi- • tures of more than sixty-seven millions of dollars in the first fiscal year of Gen. Grant's administration. In the last six teen months- of Mr. Johnson's adminis tration the receipts from customs and in ternal-revenue Were - less .than three him dred.and seventy-two millions of dollars. During the first sixteen months of Gen. Grant's administration they were more than four hundred and sixty-nine mil lions, showing an increase of nearly • ninety-seven millions of dollars. Republicans will rememberthat during the last two years of Mr. Johnson's ad ministration ho removed Republicans appointed by Mr. Lincoln' and others who adhered to the principles of the Repub lican party, and appointed Democrats where he could do so. The character of those appointments and the demoralizing influence which his opinions and conduct had upon them wore seen in the loss of scores of millions of dollars of revenue in those years .. The largo gain in the col lection is mainly duo to the determined and avowed purpose of Gen. Grant to secure an honest administration of the revenue laws and Ay) appointment of Republicans to olfic6 4 earnestly devoted to his economical policy. . During the recent session of Col:Wass taxes have boon reduced more than sev- enty-five millions of dollars. The taxes have been removed from the transporta tion by canals and railways, from sales by dealers and manufacturers. The in comb tax has been reduced to two and a half per cent on all incomes abOve two thousand dollars ; and it is to expire at the end of two years. Tho tax on tea has been reduced from twenty-five to fifteen cents per pound • on coffee from five to three cents; and tax on sugar and ni - oldsses has been reduced in the ag gregate twelve millions of dollars per an num. ° By this reduction of taxation the industries of the people and the necessa ries of life have boon relieved of burdens amounting to millions. The funding bill is an important financial measure, ifhich contemplates tho saving of inter est upon the public debtby the exchange of outstanding six per cent braids for those of a lower rate of. interest, to the amount of twenty-six millions and a-half a year. While a reduction in taxes transfers the burden of the debt. from one year to another, and from one gen eration to another, a seduction in tho rate of interest is an actual saving to tlio country, not only for the present genera. tion, but for all time. And yet these important and beneficial meaeures; in tended to lighten the publie burdens, -received little countenance and support from the Democratic party, whose re sponsibilities for the war, its losses, its 'expenditures, its debts and its taxation aro so fearfully large. Not faultless, but high, noble and glo rious is the record of the. Republican party. Histbry will note it, and the world will gratefully remember it. In the • light of this brief review of. the achievements for• patriotism, Republi can's, ono.and all, cling,to their grand or ganization, rectify its mistakes, correct its errors, and keep it true to its past traditions, and in harmony with the en lightened and progressive •spirit of the age.• So doing, may they not perpetuate' their power until their beneficient prin• eiples shall become the accepted policy of the nation? - Jimmy_ Wrisort, Chairman of the Congressional Repub lican Committee.
