them is capable of doing so much to ad-

5 THE PUBLIC DEBT.
: We send out with this issue an extra
sheet containing the argument of the
bondholders of the State in favor of the
.-offer made by them to compromise the
debt on payment of one half of the princi-
. pal and accumulated interest due there
bn. - This subject is now receiving the seri
ous attention of memlers-of the Legisla
ture, but we are not prepared at this
writing th show what action is likely to
be had ujon it. It is not probable, we
think, that the offer of the Bondholders
will be -.'accepted. If the State had the
property and wealth she -owned when the
debtTvas contracted, she ought to pay
every dollar of it. : But in what does she
differ from an individual who lost almost
everything by the war, arid could not
possibly py lOcts. in the dollar of his
indebtedness,! The property of the Sfcitc
lr ante bellum times was. .'estimated at
between C00,600,(X)p and 700,000,000. Now
it is said to be over estimated at $130,-
uu0,00Q. . e ail know witli whati
difficulty the, Sheriffs made their annual
Settlements this year at the Treasury of
the State. It was no doubt owing entire
ly to the inability ,f the people to pay
the taxes, notwithstanding the crops of
lasl year W4 about an average. Thou
Kiinds of fanns are now under mortgage
for supplies with which to run them. The
debts with but few exceptions, are grow
ing larger and larger, year by year. Is it
possible for a people thus, ruined and em
barrassed, to pay 'out at the- rate of fifty
cents in the dollar ! This is the question
for; them and our representatives to con
sider. , The State should have an honor
able discharge, and any settlement based
on sound principles of equity should, and
we beieye will, meet the hearty approval
of tax payers j but we can hiirdly eouceiye
that a sum exceeding 25 cts on Jhe dollar
-would come within the ability of the peo
plotopay. f ' :l '" " ;

The Steamer Homer was sunk on Red
River, a few weeks ago. Dr. II. J.
Harris, well known to many of us, was on
board of her, and had to struggle for his
life not only against the cold and turbid
waters,lmt against a drowning deck hand
who snainded him soon after rettinr into
the water. Down they went, once, twice
thrice, coming up between times tosxout.
But by a merciful providence through
vim and courage the - Doctor was saved :
he broke the Door fellow's hold his last
chance and he went to the bottom uu-
consious of his fate. . Thus released the
Doctor struck out for the shore, two hund
red yards off. He had not reach it when
he was picked up by a boat, and by good
treatment was soon up again.

under consideration on Tuesday, as the

first rate importance that this Road should

never be of much profit as it now stands,
and the General Assembly will doubtless
do all in its power to advance it to com

The Senator commanded the profound
attention ol'ia large and intelligent audi
ence. His .argument is said to be the
gieatest of IliU lift'. He" devoted u emsid
erable jcirt of his remarks to a summary
of the actum of the tw house and
of the opinions of the most eminent
public ns: n of the country, from the foun
dation of the government to the present
time, upon the Question of the jurisdiction
wver the electoral vote. He showed that
even Mr. Pinekriev, who had been cited by
both Mr. Sherman and Mr. Sargeant, had
never held that the- Vice President had
power over the vote ; but that he held
that was it the dutv of the houses to count
the Votes, and that they were to take the
the action ot the States m tne matter as
final and to ascertain what the States had
done.
"Now," said Mr. Conkling, "no Senator
concerned in framing the bill now betore
Senate holds any other doctrine than this
of Mr. Pinckuey- that it is the duty of
Congress to ascertain what the States
have actually done. This tribunal can do no
more, except byTtrampling' the Constitu
tion under toot.
He defended the electoral bill from the
i ' i ? i . i i
various cnai ges maoe agamsr n. lie snow -ed
that in Webster, in the Senate,
and Van Buren, in t!ie House, conennedin
making a leiKut, clearly prescribing that
the House should examine the vote and,
reading from it the words "and the count
shall then be resumed," remarked, "Not
the witnessing bv the houses of the count
as made by the Vice President." Tracing
down tin history of the question, he came
at last to a repoi t by Senator Morton him
self, in which it held that the certificate of
the Secretary of State is not required to
authenticate the electoral vote, but that
the Certilieate of the Governor is sufficient.
Tliisi creafed some sensation. He proceed
ed to show li'tat, 'under Senator Morton's
report, the vole of Louisiana laid been
throw n out. ,
His finthci' remark that Senator Mor
ton's bill of last session would, had it be
come a law, have not only withheld, as a
matter of course, all authority from the
Vice Pivideit, but would now have caus
ed the election of Mr. Tilden also, created
a sensation, particularly when he added
that only three Republican Senators voted
araitil that bill, and these were Senators
Edmunds. Howe ami Conkling. lie point
ed out that Morton's bill gave a lKiuudless
authority over the vote to either House,
while the present! biH strictly and narrow
ly limits the power of the Houses.
This comparisiin betweii what Mr. Mor
ton proposed last year and what this bill
now propose was very effective. He
shoWed that from1 the beginning of the
government the ! powers of the Houses
over the vote had been undisputed and
that the Republican. Senators themselves
now present Wei n all committed by their
net to the coilstihitionality of the twenty
secortd joint l tile,! and by recently sending
committees to' fhedisputed States to the
opinion that the Houses had a right to in
