IIOAR'5 SPEECH ON KELLOGCy
' " Senator Hoar has make a very slrprg
speech on the Kellogg case, it being
mainly a legal argument on the. res ad-
judicata aspect of it. What he said of
the political aspect of the case ss str
kingi "The voice which it is sought to
Stiflle," said he, "is that ofthe Jast rep
resentative of loyalty from th fetates
recently in rebellion." Qther Senators
from the seeding states tell of the blows
they struck at their; coahtty's life, and
show the commissions they held from
those who led the opposition against
their country's flag." Referring to the
personal attacks upon Mr. Kellcgs, he
bore witness to the excellence of his
adniioirti ration as Ucrvernor of Louisi
ana'. He had found "the state' credit
wei.fc and left it ttrong; Le had raised
the state bonds from 2o to 75; he had
louml the Treasury bankrupt aud left
it with a surplus, and had added not
one dollar to the public dqbt. His,
Democratic buccessor had sunken to
repudiation. Mr. - Hoar tnen toek up
the crgurjaeuU by. which the Democrats
had sought to overthrow the doctrine
of res affjudicafatfirA showed how rev
olution nry and without precedent was
the 8 Hniuti that every Feaator, held
hw w xi atba will of a party majority,
and that the title to his seat could
never be exclusively determined by
the j i.a e. The Democrats had gone,
so tr as io claim that the decision as
to title could Nbe made by the statu itself
and be changed by fraudulent and for
cible state revolution, la . this. way
they had disregarded the constitution,
which made the Senate the judge of its
members' qualifications. The Senate's
decisions must be, final. The case o
every senator whose seat has been con
test d fvcd as a precedent 'if X.vor of
the ! -i triile cf res adjudicata., for in
only i w i 1 1 t a n ces had a n a ttem bee ir
n-.ade tu riopen such a case, and in
each ihftauce the Senate had decided
that li e Senate's first judgment had
been J:ijai. So the question had been
settled, it the Senate could ettle any
thing, and all the eminent seuthern
SeuHinrs of the past were recorded in
oppos. n-xti to' the views now supported
by the. committee. Not only were these
views sed by the Senate's unbro
ken usiy but also by the course pur
sued tor GOOyearsin the English houses
of Parliament."
RCIVKMI'TICN OF TIIK I UBLIC
DEBT. '-
From the Washington Wo: id.
In November last Secretary Sherman
began to apply the surplus revenue to
the purchase o our outstanding six per
cent! bonds. Of lhe about $18,000,000
are redeemable in December 1880 and
$250,000,000 in June 1881. Since this
policy was inaugurated atout $50,000,
000 of six per cents, have been redeemed
and cancelled, involving a savins: ef
$3,00000 per annum in interest. The
rapid increase tf the revenue during
the host few weeks , has enabled the
.Secretary . to increase' the rate of re
demption io $10,000,000 per month. As
the revenue now averages over a mil
lion a day, it is probable that the bonds
will be redeemed still more rapidly, t
Of five per cent, bonds outstanding
about $505,000,000 mature in May 1881.
It is doubtful whether it will pay to re
fund in boncls of lower interest, in view
of their rapid absorption by the Treas
ury. Thus we see our great national
bonded debt gradually fading out of
sight. At the present rate of redemp
tion about $120,000,000 per annum can
be appnea to tnis purpose, in six or
seven years, then, fwe may expect to see
all our bonds bearing high rates of in
terest withdrawn from the market. ;
The Greenbackers, in their craze, are
continually growlinc: at the vast accu
mulation of cein in the Treasury. Theyn
would scatter it to the four winds in
order io inaugurate their own -particu
lar boom j cf universal " bankruptcy.
They are, however, no longer. powerful
for evil. Another class are beginning
to attack the policy of holding this
vast reserve to insure the public credit.
A ppeculative commercial journal of
New York hints that the money in the
Treasury should all be paid out in the
redemption of bonds so that capitalists
finding a scarcity of government secu
rities, shall be compelled to invest in
railroad bonds.
la another article we have shown the
enormous rate of railway construction
now in progress, a rate lar surpassing
that of our most active construction
years in the past. This movement is in
danger of beinir overdone. It is'bad
policy to withdraw an undue proportion
from the floating tapital of the country
for investment in real estate. This was
one of tire precipitating causes of our
late financial difficulty. If then our
speedy extinction of the public debt is
to play into the hands of a gigantic aad
dangeriiis speculation we shall feel less
gratifjcaiiou at tjie result.

FROM WASKIKGTON. I
Democrats AVaveking on the Ques
tion of Adjoubnment -Some Tale.
About the Pkesidential Canvass
Noktii Carolina's Share in
the River and Harbor Bill. ;
Washington, D. C, May 13, 1880. f
will congress make an early ad
journment.
To-dxys Work in Congress will leave
the appropriation bills in such a shape
hat Congress can adjourn by June 1st,
if it will. For some time there has
been a general desire both among Dem
ocrats and Republicans to get away by
June 1st at leas andi a corresponding
inclination to avoid :any subject like
the tariff for instance, that might lead
to a general debate. (The leading mo-
ive for this eifort to hurry away from-
Washington was in most, cases, an in
clination to get home and attend to
district polities. '
But, lately there seems to be a change
in the Democratic mind.. That party
had made many promises of the won-
darful things they would do in the way
of legislation. They were going to re-
viewfhe tariff laws from beginning to
end. There was to be uo end to relief
hey were going to bestow upen the in
dustrial interesii? of tha countrj. E!ec-
tion laws were.toibe amended. . A Jiew
aw regulating the count for the Presi-.
dent was to be passed. And last and
by no means least we were to have a
glorious,- j Democratic, spiek and span
new financial legislation which was to
make every poor man rich, pay the
debts of nation, states ,and cities, and
set everv idle man at work.
DARE THE DEMOCRATS ADJOUf'N.
An early adjournment me.ans a pad
ocked Democratic mouth, and a fear
to meeUhe Republicans on any, one of
the issues they once pronsistd us scr
much from, l'euce then there is a
growing feeling that they will but own
r
to the whole country that they have
nothing to go to people with, if they
simply! pass the appropriation bills; and
avoid every one of the issues they have
raised. ! Democratic Senators a nd Mem
bers are rQv getting letters from all
parts of the country protesting against
an adjournment until the tariff laws
have been amended, and some effort
made to redeem their outstanding
pledges of practical legislaticn. These
letters also warn them that a hasty ad
journment -would be a confession ot
werkness iu the controlling party which
would not only injure it, but it would
at the same lime ineresee the confi
dence of the Republicans in a corres
pending degree. &o once more the
Democrats are in a slate of indecision
NEITIIEK GRANN NOR BLA.INE.
The lSolts by the Grant c elegates in
Pennsylvania and New York, who re
fuse to be bound by their In&tiuctions,
and who say they will vote in conven
tion foi Blaine, together with the war
of the factions in Illinois, more particu
larly the split in Chicago, now makes
it seem almost certain that 'Grant
will not be nominated at the coming
national convention. It seems equally
probable that the Grant faction will
prevent Blaine from being nominated.
It has i been urged that Hon. E. B
Washburne would be the coming man
That idea is now hardly worth cousid
ering, for the Washburne folks by par
ticipating as seconds and bottlc-tiolders
to the Blaine men at Chicago have
roused ajrainst them the fiercest ani
mosity of the friends of General Grant.
EHERMAN THE COMING MAN..-
The country has had enough of "dark
hbrses," or third-rate meni, Sheraan
is hot only almost as strong as Grant
or IJ.laiue, but he would be acceptable
to the Grant men, while Blaine never
would be. Hence, it would not be at
all surprising to see Mr. Sherman nom
inated on the second ballot in Chicago.
Indeed, as the Presidential canvass
now looks, it is the most probable solu.
tion of thatT' political -problem. The
Secretary's friends, all over the coun
try I are greatly elated over the increased
brightness of his prospects.
I SENATOR BEN HILL
Is making a two. days, speech on the
Kellogg case. It exhausts the Demo
cratic side-of the argument; and it isas
sophistical as it is, long, The Republi
cans will not consume more than two
days in presenting their side of the
question - at issued and will then urge
the Democrats to an earlv vote. It is, a
clean case of steal, and beyond patting
te pemocrats on record on , all the
points i n volved there is r o use in spend
ing much time over it. - -
SHERMAN IN NEW YORK.
ThaC was a most notable meeting o
the, merchante of New York last Tues
day evening to d& honor to John Sher
man. His address was received with
the utmost enthusiasm. I wantr to quote
one short sentence here: i
"Taxes: that three years go yielded
barely enough revenue' to meet current
expenses, in March last yielded, with
out increase in rate, a surplus revenue
: of $14,000,000: Iu Apnl, f 12,000,000:
1 an4 viH no doubt, during the present
year, yield over $100,000,000, Oar four
per cenc. oonas new sen w a nigner
rale than our six per cent, bonds aver
aged for a period f several years.
Surely, under such conditions, we may
fairly congratulate eacn otner, in the
language ot your toast, on 'the finan
cial 'pros peri ty of our country.' " f
An i ncreased revenue without: in
creased taxation; and all brought about
by following the advice of the Secreta
ry i the Treasury, and in spite of the
opposition -of the dominant party.-
Ertry Republican: should be proud of
that record. : " ' " ;.'
