VIEW SAMS.: OF THE I XI mniiall's Letter to lde. . Augusta Chron- Catholic. Mr R. is we believe a He is a highly accomplished gentle man, not in sympathy with Method ic,, or the revival system, and is, therefore, a more interesting witness. He attended a meeting in Baltimore last week, and heard both. Sams on the same evening when there were fourar five thousand people present Here is what he says Stab: . . Just aa I contrived to slip in, my oU friend Sam Small was telling how he.feit and did when he wa a drunk ard. " H -was dressed m an elegant suit of broadcloth, with spotless linlm trimmings at th neck and cuff. I He paced to and fro on a lar,. platform, his most frequent Wiuir! being to mop hia neck and forehead with a pocket handkerchief. Has discourse came in snatches. , He walked a little bit and then talked a little bit, pausing for a moment tje tween times, lie was serious and rhetorical. The only, approach to grim wit was when he 5 declared that the most damnable' liquor he ever drank had been called tern- t'eranc bitters. His peroration was a jaOOieu out;, pimu.iiY ujiwi witn metaphor and allegory of a confusing stupendousness. The applause that r?ETed him occasionally was feeble much iike the regulation preacher an,i therefore no novelty.. But when Sam Jones rose at the far end of the building there was an instantaneous ehanire, like the ripple that comes oyer a becalmed sea when a breeze begins to stir. 11 is presence and voice were at once magnetic. I felt the difference myself in a twink ling, and listened to him with an unction that Small had not inspired. .,You instinctively discerned, by some . subtle psychologic process, that a strange being was before you. He captured his hearers from the inhin. and made them lauab and applaud boisterously. His humor is his great, .faculty, aided and abetted by a mimicry all his own. The au dience expected a treat and i they were not disappointed, except when Ire dosed his remarks.- He is the su perior attraction beyond all compari son. Without that queer Georgia won- tier, Small would not be a pronounced snout. A great many persons will not Jiear Sam Jones, and thousands Aa'.tt. him And his methods, lust as Dr. Kirkns does, but, since" the Yeo man's Convention,:! have not, been so singularly entertained, and ; lie may be doing good in quarters little suspected. ;! 1 do not altogether-Japey his peculiar style aud "repudiate some It is not to be supposed, therefore, that the States, in forming a more perfect union for the purpose of re pelling foreign (aggression . and in adopting a written constitution to re strain domestic tyranny, would neg lect any precaution for maintaining unimpaired the control by the btate of its local aff airs. FORTY - N12f TB. CONGRESS. ' FIRST SESSION. . ' ' SENATE. ; Washington, May 17. After the rou tine'' business in the Senate to day, Mr. Frezil called up the House Shipping bill entitled, "a bill to abolish certain fees for official services to American vessels; and to amend the laws relating to shipping com missioners, seamen, and owners of vessels." ' This is the bill passed by the House of Representatives, February 4th last, abolish ing the fees for measuring tonnage, for issuing licenses, registry. certificates and. a great variety of other fees, 'r The bill having been read, 'Mr. Frye moved to add to it. as a new section, the provision of the bill recently reported, by mm Irony the : Committee on Commerce, authorizing the President to issue a pro clamation, whenever ho may ..- deem proper, denying to vessels of foreign countries such nrivilezes ? as are de nied in such foreign countries to vessels or tno united states. This is a pro vision authorizing retaliation for the recent action of the Dominion of Canada in, ex cluding United States vessels from certain privileges in Canadian ports, but the pro visions of Mr. Frye's bill are not confined to Canada but are made general so as to apply to ail foreign countries. 7 s.i After some inquiry! by Messrs. MePher- son and vest, and a word Of reply by Mr Frye, the amendment was agreed to without debate-. X - - The bill, as amended by the Senate, was then passed, and, on motion of Mr. r rye, a committee of conference was ordered on the disagreeing votes! of the two Houses J. hf his doctrines and expressions, but there is no question of his power and talents, which have not failed to rouse extremes of friendship ana hostility. , - ' : - TEX DEN OIISS 7 O WARD CEK j 'ill i.tZATlOJi r i " R V. K. L-i!svi!!e Courier-Journal, r Ih m. ; . " -In . -.i'.-y ofparimtnt of lifein the" w..jk-hfp ad in the school, in. politics aiid u itif Chnrch, among laltort'in and amou" capitalists there is an alnioM u re!iiille tendency to ward ih- eentraUzatioB of 'power, which r 6it !is w the subjugation of the individual and the sulistitution of organization for free will. While this tendency does much to multiply and cheapen the necessities of life - while it supplies the many with comforts which a century ago wer,e confined to the few it pn la a great strain on our s8tem of govern ment and invites evilf, social, moral, and political, against which it is the part of wisdom to provide. : The ab- solute subjugation of the individual to the will of the many is.tyranny'no less than tbe subjection of the many to the will of one; or, as Tennyson puts it, the tyranny of one is prelude to the tyranny of all; the tyranny of all leads backward to the tyranny of one. - - v -. :r ; .t -. ";."L , The only adequate influence against this tendency to which we can appeal is an observance of - the limitation imposed by the Constitution, alike against the centralization of jjower at Washington and the abuse of power at the various State capitals. The only check which1 can- be inter posed is the - Constitutional . check. By the Constitution the province of. government was - clearly defined. -Tinder that Constitution the rightB of the State,' which is only another phrase f?r local self government, can be upheld: Auy breach of tb at CoriHtitntion, any perversion" of. its provision?, any denial of its authority leads to a disregard f -local rights and augment:! the evils to be feared from tin- concentration of power. . To insist p; the maintenance of this Constitution in, therefore, the duty of every one who cares for the continuance among meri. of popular government. - It is easy enougn to denounce the' strict constructionists as Bour,lrii.s'or as doctrinaires, but it is certain itj U they who to day are maintaining the right of v man to liberty of thought and action. Local government is the only possible free government, either "in Ireland, in Wfcrniany, in France, or in America. Gladstone's appeal for Ireland was " simply the American argument for States' rights, and in an address de livered to his constituents a year ago Mr. Chamberlain stated the philosor V phy of both positions in fhese words: ' "In this way only is there any chance of beiner able to remove the upon the bill. v The chair appointed: as conference com mitteeon the Shipping bill, passed this morning, Messrs. Milter, Dolph and Vest. (Mr. Frye had announced that he was obliced to be absent from the Senate for an indefinite time.) Tbe object or this un usual proceeding is to hasten action by the House, otherwise the .amended bill would have to be referred to the House Commit tee on Shipping and take its chances on the calendar with many measures ahead to an tagonize it. I . - j At 2 o'clock the Pension bill was laid before the Senate. . Tbe pending amend ment was that heretofore offered by Mr, Van VVvcfc. providing tnat no soldier un der this act shall receive less than $8 per month. j - .. . Mr. Blair moved to amend the amend ment by substituting four dollars for eight. Mr. Logan moved an! amendment provid ¬ ing that "all pensions heretofore granted under any previous act: to any soldier shall, where less than $8 a month has been allow ed, be increased to $8 4 month, and no less amount shall be allowed to any pensioner being a soldier under this or any previous act." - I The first Question being taken on the. "Blair amendment to the Van Wyck amend ment, it was reiected 18 to 25 The Question recurred . on the -Logan amendment to the Van jWyck amendment, and it was rejected 22!tO 27. ' Mr. Blair moved as a substitute for the pending amendment a proviso that no pen sion hereafter to be paid under any law to ny soldjer (hall be rated at less than $4 a month. -,H ? r- ' ' - ' ' ' Mr. Butler submitted an amendment, to be proposed by him at the proper time. providing for a pension of $8 a month to each surviving soldier of the Mexican war. Without further action the Senate, at 4 40 p. m.. went into executive session, and at 5.55 the, doors were! reopened and the Senate adjourned. " . - - - , HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES ; Under the call of States a number of bills, &c , were introduced and referred. - The House then went into Committee of the Whole (Mr. Crispj of Georgia in , the chair) on the Urgent Deficiency bilL The bill was considerfed briefly, and hav ing been reported - to the House it was passed." ; :-rr-- I --r,: ,rf A call of the committees for motions to suspend the rules resting with the Commit tee on Pacific Railways, Mr. Richardson, of Tennessee, on behalf jOf that committee, withdrew the motion made by him on the last committee suspension day, to suspend the rules and put on its passage the bill re quiring the Northern Pacific to pay the cost of conveying and surveying its land grant, and in lieu thereof moved to suspend the rules and adopt resolutions setting apart tbe 5th and 8th of June for tbe considera tion of business reported; by that commit - tee. Mr. Richardson explained tnat more important measures that would be called up" were the joint resolution providing for investigation of accounts of Pacific Kail roads and the bill providing for the fund , ing of the debt of those roads. ;: 7 7 '. Mr. Crisp, of Georgia; said that the ac tion of the committee j in reporting tbe funding bill had been grossly misrepresented in some quarters, for some purposes, and whilfthe fcnew that this was not the time to discuss the question on jits merits, yet he took the opportunity to put on record the substance of that important measure. At the present time the Pacific Companies owed the government $102,800,000, but tbe debt would not be due until 1898. The debt was growing at the rate of $1,600,000 a year, and in 1893 would amount to $128. 500,000. Before the government could be paid the Companies must! pay an outstand ing debt which was a Iprior lien which AAeA to the eovernment debt : would amount to $193,000,000i The property, from the best information the committee could get, could be built to-day for one- ball the money. .u were ( was uemuik m the payment of their first mortgage bonds, what would be the - result t Franchises would be sold and the government would get literally : nothing. - For many years there had been suggestions made in regard to protecting the, interests of the go vernment in these great corporations. In 1878 the Thurman act had been passed, but the results expected from 1 it had not been realized. By reason of the building of competine lines, the receipts of the roads had fallen-off, and while there had been an increase in the percentage paid into the" sinking fund, there had been no great in crease in the amount. ; Something must be done te protect : the government. Tbe committee bad thought that the first thing to do was to try to benefit the government security. r It had thought the question not so much a question of when the government should be paid, as it was a question of certainty of payment., : He was aware that when looking to the preju dice which had been excited by bad prac tices of - tbe companies in the past they were not always able to take a business yjew of the question. The committee, he thought, had taken such a view. It had provided that tnis aeos, wumju mu due in 1898, should be divided into 140 parts, two or wmcn snouia oe piu c year, beginning .bnmediately This was twelve years Deiore uc guTcmiuw;.. - - receive anything under the existing, law. Under this plan, instead of waiting twelve years before receiving a dollar, the govern ment would begin at once receiving $3, 500.000. and before 1898 the "S would have received about $41,000,000. The bill provided for partial extinction and partial anticipation of ; the 4ebt If the companies refused to accept the provisions of the act, the Thurman act would be so amended as to increase from 25 per cent, to 40 per cent r the amount required to be paid into the ainkinn fund. . , .

This statement of Mr. O'Neill's had the effect of arousing the antagonism of soma of the friends of that measure, and this an tagonism was hardly appeased when Mr. w mis oi ientucsy, speaKiQK as iricuu of the bill, said that as a matter of fair play to the Committee on Labor a aay snouia be given to the consideration of its bills.

Mr: Randall, of Penn., was opposed to making the Labor bill accessory-to carrying the Educational bill through.

The chair laid before the Senate a letter from the Post-, master General transmitting in compliance with a resolution : of inquiry, iniormanon as to the readjustment of postmasters' sala ries under the act of March 3, 1883. The Postmaster General says that the Chiel or the Division of Salaries and Allowances, affirms upon his experience and judgment that it will require the services of ten clerks during the probable ' period of fourteen months to perform the work mentioned in the resolution. He prays consideration of the Senate whether the department should not be discharged from the duty of fur nishing the information desired. ? The letter was referred to. the Committee on "Post offices and Postroads. - 7 J - " 1 At 2 o'clock the Pension bill was placed before the Senate, but was temporarily laid aside to permit Mr. Coke to address the Senate on the House Labor Arbitration bill. -.V r, w ";v: ' After a short speech from Mr. Logan on the same subject, the Pension bill was laid before the Senate. The pending amend ment was that of Mr. Blair to the Van Wvck amendment. The Van Wyck amend ment is to add to the bill a proviso that no soldier under the act should hereaf ter receive less than $8 a monJi. The Blair amendment is to provide; instead, that no pension paid hereafter under any law to any soldier should be rated at less than four dollars a month. 7 Mr. Blair said the Senate was not defi nitely informed as to the -amount the bill wnnirl take from the Treasury. In order to get some information as to the approxi mate amount he moved that the bill be re- committed to the Committee on Pensions.. I Discussion arose aa to. the precise mean- Sing of. certain provisions of the bill, - but Without action on Mr.; Blair's motion the Senate, at 4.25, went into executive session. After an hour so spent the doors were re opened and the Senate adjourned.; A 77' HOUSE OF representatives! Mr. Blount, of Ga., from the Committee on Postoffices and - PostRoads, reported back the Postoffice Appropriation bill with Senate amendment, , and it having been referred to the Committee of the Whole, the House went into sucn committee ror the purpose of considering these amend ments. X- - ' I.'-"'- Mr. Blount addressed his remarks to that clause which ia known as the "subsidy" amendment, and made an argument in op position to.it. The appropriation of $800,? 000. he contended, woold not secure any advantage in the way of obtaining addi tional mail trips, but would, indeed, have a contrary 1 effect Under the clause the Postmaster General would be required to contract, if he contracted at all, for not less than three nor more than five years, and this would act as an absolute inhibition upon any other company than the one holding the contract attempting to traverse the same line; increase in the number of lines would be stopped, and while the contract was in force any increase of tae foreign postal service would be prevented. He deniedthe correctness of the declaration that the decline of American commerce was tiigfut that the United States re fused to pay subsidies , to its steamship companies, and asserted that tbe decline was attributable to the narrow-minded policy which forbade American citizens from'purchasing ships abroad. - Mr. Burrows, of Mich., in supporting the amendment, drew a comparison be tween the pay for mail service to coastwise companies and that allowed to foreign mail companies, and instanced the fact that last year the government paid for mail .! . hetween Tamoa and Key West $23,600, while it paid only $237 for service between Key West and Havana.' The Senate amendment only authorized the Tostmaster General to do with foreign ser vice exactly what he did with the Star route and coastwise - service, and all this talk about subsidy was simply an appeal to prejudice, instead of an appeal to the rea son of a reasonable man. ; The United States paid more for mail servica between Tampa and Key West than was paid to all American lines engaged , in trans Atlantic commerce or in commerce between the United States and South and Central Amtf- Mr. Riggs, of Ills., opposed the foreign mail" service amendment, - and contended that "the figures cited by Mr. Burrows, instead of showing that too little was paid for foreign service,; showed that too much was paid for coastwise service. -: ' . : i Mr. Guenther. of Wis ; ' said that the appropriation did not rise to the dignity of subsidy, v It was neither fish, flesh nor fowl. It was a gift, pure and simple. It was charity to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company a corporation . which Congress should not touch with ' a : ten-foot pole. Were members of Congress really so ver dant as to be deluded and deceived by shallow pretencest ' Would they always take the baits of corporations?- Were they really what were called " suckers?

The House then went into Committee of the Who'.e (Mr. Hammond, of Georgia, ia the chair), on the Senate amendment to the Postoffice Appropriation tfill. 7 7 - s7 - J.n the course of the discussion, which consumed the remainder of tbe session, Mr. Dockery, of Missouri, announced his oppo sitibn'to the amendment because it was co ercive legislation; becauee it assumed to aid commerce at-the expense of the foreign pos tal service; because it held out me persua sive idea of competition when in fact there was no competition except on two lines;' be cause it would operate as a hindrance to the rpoinraiinn of American commerce; because it was a positive violation of the interna tfonal treate of Berne; because it was a gilt of public money to private corporations, the larger part- of which would go to the Pacific Mail Steamship Company, officered, owned and controlled by Russell Sage, Jay Gould and Sidney Dillon. Criticizing the amendment in detail, he called attention to the fact that even England did not restrict the transportation of her mails to English vessels," but placed many of them upon ships belonging to tbe North German Lloyd Co. He also commented severely upon the action of the 8enate in adopting the amendment in violation of its own rules.

Applause on the Democratic side. He then proceeded to argue that the sub sidy would not have the effect of building up the commerce of" the country, and in support of his argument he quoted statistics to show that from. 1868 to 1877 (which he termed the "subsidy period,") the tonnage and commerce of the country steadily fell off. Much of the subsidy proposed would go to the Pacific Mail Steamship Co. He had heard it said that this line was owned by seen hundred different persons, but he declared that it was largely owned and officered by Jay Gould, Sydney Dil lon, Russell Sage and C. P. Huntington. These were the men who were to get this appropriation, which assumed to go. to the building up of the commerce of the coun try and merchant marine.- No man would go further than be in restoring the merchant marine, but if this could only be done now by means of contributions to the Pacific Mail Steamship Co., he wanted to wait and look out for some other remedy. Un der this amendment the Pacific Mail Co., of unsavory record, would get $352,198 neaily half the appropriation. He called upon his party irienas to nau anu ueoxmie before they gave tneir sancuuu m meas ure which did not advance or enhance the interests of the merchant marine, but which put into the coffers of this corrupting cor poration $326,808 more than it had received fast year for the same service. ;In the con sideration" of this question, .he - Btood on the doctrine of equal rights to all and exclusive privileges to none. -.' . ' - . . Mr. Bingham of Pennsylvania supported the amendment, denying that mere was anything coercive in it, or that there was any subsidy in it. It was a question of giving fair and reasonable compensation for services rendered in carrying the mails without any regard to the ownership tf the corporation performing the services. He replied to Mr. Dockery's argument that subsidies.did not assist the merchant ma-f rine by stating that tne real suosiay penov was from 1848 to 1859, and that it was in 1856 that the American marine reached the highest standard of prosperity, y Then 84 per cent, of our products was carried in bottoms.
