T80RM1N' SPEECH - Those'' Washington 5 corresiwndejnts who oest renect puuuc upwwu k national capital, have much to say,ii commendation of Mr. Thurman's Con stitutional argument delivered in the , Senate Thursdav on the . legislative, Ex ecutive and, judicial j appropriation bill. Thecorrespondent of the Baltimore Sunl'tor instance, sayst i.hte His speech was one deserving of much attention and consideration, replete as it was with logic and common sense. Tn rfinlvinc to the soeeches of some of the Republican Senators, and exposing I l mj CT. - . . TflH TH.1K1I.V 111 LI1C11 BmiClUCUtA very plain and severe language, but which many will think not undeserved. In the course of his remarks he drew a very graphic picture of the evil effects of the operation of the juror's test oath and of the election laws, and instanced in the most striking manner how these laws were administered, simply and solely for the benefit of the Republican party and to carry out its partisan pur posed and ends. The Richmond Dispatch's correspond ent goes even further. After mention of the fact that Senator Thurman filled the men's gallery, though there was no crowd on the ladies' side, the speaker being neither young nor handsome nor the victim of a fashionable scandal, the correspondent makes a full synopsis of i .the speech, and adds. He spoke until adjournment,, and lus is uronounced one of the ablest speeches of the session, and worthy of the distin guished reputation of Ohio's Senator. Among those who heard it was Mr. Evarts, who occupied a seat in the di plomatic gallery. Even Republicans to night pronounce Thurman's speech a ? great effort, and Democrats say it is not ' only great, but will prove invaluable as a campaign document. The Philadelphia Times sti'ys editori ally of the effort: Senator Thurman spoke .yesterdaftin a straightforward and forcible way on the legislative appropriation bill, which is before the Senate with several riders. His statement of the party position with respect to these questions was particu larly strong, but it will avail nothing in the final disposition of them, and can only serve the purpose of making 6jpja,t form for the distinguished Ohkr."JSena tor. . , .In this way, however, .it . will -Serve him an . admirable purpose.' If thp speech is anything like ; the' great effort that it is with one voice pronounced to be, it will assuredly giye an active,, up ward tendency to 'Thurman-stock and may again place lihu where he was two months ago at. the head of the . list of Democratic candidates for the' presiden tial nomination. A K. OF II. iOVE FEAST, The culehuair of "The Hub" ap paars to have captured the Southern representatives in the Supreme .Lodge, of the Knights of Honor vfhich met last Tuesday in Boston. Our reasons for saying so are found in the Boston -Her-: ald,ot Thursday last, which gives an extended account of a banquet of which the visiting Knights were the recipients, Wednesday evening, at the hands of the members of Boston Lodge No.1 134. Nearly every member of the Supreme Lodge, we see, was present. The first speech was madeiy Supreme Dictator J. A Cummings? who was followed by a number of "the 'brethren,'' representa tives of all the differentsections of the Union. ' The eleventh speech of the evening is thus reported by the Herald : C. R. Jones, of North Carolina, after congratulating New England upon its hospitality, said he wanted to say, as a .Southern man, that the people oV New England and North Carolina didn't un derstand each other. The only obstacles to their -.Love making were the politi- cians, and, if we could kill about half of them, the country would . get along . splendidly., in 1775, when we heard t aat American blood had been spilled by Britishers, North Carolina stood by Massachusetts in the struggle, and upon visiting Bunker Hill Monument since his arrival he was pleased to see still there,- at the foot of the same, the pal metto and the pine together. Blows have been struck between the North and the South, but the licks have al ways, on your part, been struck breast . high, and ours have been the same. You have asked us to take nothing back, neither do wensk you to take anything baek,-but in the luture, I: can assure you that New England shall not rival us in pur love for Jhe old flag. f Otlieif speeches,' Jail- itv the 'same vein, ; followed, by Texans, Georgians,: South Carolinians and Tennesseeans, "and the festivities were kept up until a late -,hOUr." , .v ; V ,M.

At 2:4& p m. the Senate went into executive session and when the doors were opened adjourned. . : i House. The House resumed, as the business of the morning hour, the bill to amend the law relating to the trans fer of cases from the State to the United States courts. McLane, of Maryland,con cluded his argument in favor of the bill, taking the ground that whenever a State law or State sovereignty, be it much or little, is well defined and understood, and where indictments are found under such State-law, they -should -not be -removable to the Federal courts. He ad mitted tbatitherc might have been: necessity during war times for the en largement of the Federal power, but the country had now passed beyond such necessity, and the judiciary of the country should be restored to its, nor mal condition. Of: M I I Urner, of Marylandopposed -the bill on the ground that onerof the sections proposed to be repealed (No. 689) -was virtually the judiciary act of 1789, which gave force and effect to that clause of the constitution which authorizes Uni ted States courts to pass upon questions in jcontroversv jjetfeeri aU;it$zeh of one State and a cftizen of another State.1 He admitted that there was some force in the objection that insurance companies sued in States where they have no legal residence can have. their cases removed, to-the great in jury of plaintiff suitors, but he argued.,that such possibilities of hardship" shojuhOiot be allowed Tcrin-. terf ere. with tlie great "underlying' prin- CTDle involved. i Y" ,S. Pending action on the bill the mom ing hour expired and the House re sumed theonsideratioivof the Warner silver bill. . " -k. Belford's amendment, confining the, priyilege of free coinage to silver mined in the United States was defeated yeas 87, nays 120. Jawing ottered an amendment to 'Springer's amendment. It provides that the secretary of the treasury shall issue and deliver to each depositor of silver bullion certificate an amount equal to the value of such bullion, and that silver dollars coined from such bullion, tosthe extent of forty per cent., of such certificates, shall be held for the re demption thereof and . the remainder applied to the payments interest and principal of the public' debt, The cer tificates so issued are to be redeemed at par for all dues to the UnitedfStates, and be used in payment of the current expenses of the government and are to be redeemable in standard silver dol lars. This amendment was adopted yeas 106, nays 105, the Speaker casting the deciding vote amid applause on the Democratic side.
