i C 1. Steele, whose kind thoughtf ulness
is unfailing, has sent to us all the Jjack
numbers of the Congressional Record,
including those which contained the
debates which marked the closing days
of the Forty-Fifth Congress. There is
no more interesting reading than those
speeches made upon Hoar's amendmen
to the Mexican pension- bill, excluding
Jefferson Davis from the priyileges of
the pension; and we confess to a thril
of pride in the lofty eloquence with
which Thurraan, Lamar, Ransom, Coke
;and Garland repelled the wantonly
cruel assaults of Hoar, Blaine, Chand
ler and Edmunds. That debate will be
interesting reading a century hence
and Mr. Davis was most fortunate in
there being upon the floor of the Senate
gentlemen competent and manly enough
to hurl back the foul aspersions upon
his name. Their task was a peculiarly
delicate one ; they performed it with al
delicacy, and by virtue of justice and
right being on their side, and by reason
of the skillful use made by them of the
weapons of debate, they achieved an
intellectual victory among the most
conspicuous won during the session.
If we feel a pride in the bearing of
Gen. Ransom in that controversy, we
feel no less pride in his conduct of the
fierce debate between himself and Mr
Conkling on the river and harbor bill
The adroitness which characterized his

much engrossed in the affairs of this
working-day world, that it rarely ever
undertakes to do more for them than to
tell them what is going on around them.
If it neglects he cultivation of their
better natures it is more their fault af
ter all than its, for, having once found
out what they want to be told it is na
tural that it should tell them that and
leave the preaching of morals and re
ligion to those whose business it is to
preach these things.
J5ut we turn a little aside this morn
ing, and alter having told them the
news and preached politics to them for
live days in the weeks, address ourself
to them this Sabbath morning in a few
abstract propositions, born of some re-
cent contemplation of the outside world

ENLARGEMENT
The Question, of the Rules Speeches by
Stephens and Garfield.
Washington, March 2P. House.
The question raised by Reagan yes
terday to the effect that there were no
rules governing the actions of this
House, none: having been formally
adopted, was brought up by the Speak
er immediately after the reading of the
journal. The Speaker said he was not
present yesterday at the time the point
was raised in committee of the whole,
and stated that under rule 147 the rules
of the preceding nouse were declared
to be the rules of every succeeding
House until otherwise ordered. He
quoted the ruling of Speaker Grow on
that subject, and said he was not aware
of any other ruling at variance with it.
Its reason and object were to furnish
the House with a set of regular rules,
instead of committing it to the wide
sea of general parliamentary law. The
subject was discussed at considerable
length.
The House at 12.40 went into com
mittee of the whole on the army appro
priation bill and the discussion was re
sumed, Stephens, of Georgia, opening it.
He argued in favor of the relevancy
and admissibility of the section, but in
timated his dissent from the theory that
the rules of one House governed
succeeumg nouses unless re-adopted.
There was no question in his mind but
that the pending section was germane
and was in the direction of retrenching
rxurnuiiurrs. iieirencnment was not
only possible and probable, but certain.
He discussed the laws of 1793 and 1807,
and argued that they did not apply to
me uau ui iiuups in civil eases, Dut on
ly in cases of invasion and insnri-pptinn
In civil cases troops were furnished on
the call of a marshal as a posse comi
tattis, but such provision as authorized
the presence of troops at the polls nev
er existed on the statute look till 18G3,
and all the change of legislation pro
posed by the section in question was
uie repeal oi mat law. Public .senti
ment North and South was acainsr. Hip
employment of troops at the polls.
There was no need for such a tiling.
The country had got along without it
ior tnree quarters ot a century. There
would be no harm done, therefore, by a
repeal of the law. Mr. Stenl iPTis snnto
for over twenty minutes, in a strong
clear voice, and attracted great atten
tion.
A general discussion was then opened
0 uarneid, the agreement being
iii.il no vulb wouui ue taken to-day.
Garfield made a verv stiono- stpph
against the policy of the Democratic
party in Congress, declaring it to be
utterly revolutionary and tending to
the subversion of the Erovprnmpnr Ho
showed how by the abstention of the
majority in either house from the per
formance of their legislative duties, the
government could be broken un.
and declared that this was thp first
time in American history and the first
time in two centuries in England, that
it had been proposed or insisted upon
that those voluntary powers should be
used ior the destruction of government
and yet that was the proerammp. an
nounced to the American people to-day.
Jt the pending proposition was the
simplest and most inoffensive, still
when it was demanded as a matter nf
coercion it had to be resisted. It was
not against the proposition itself, but
against the Democratic methods that he
spoke ; and what was the law on the re
peal ot which the Democrats now insis
ted at the very peril of the national life ?
It was a law proposed bv a DemneH
Senator, Powell, of Kentucky, and re-
i'"' ai against uy a xtepublican com
mittee, and passed in both houses by a
majority of Democratic votes, thp ma
jority of the Republicans' votes being
against it. He named as voting for it
Senators Hendricks, of T TlfS
of Kentucky, Johnson, of Maryland,
McDowell, of California, and among
the Democratic Representatives. TJant
