WASHINGTON, Dec. 9Th, 1894.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9th, 1884.
suppose you have read the Message
long aiore this, and begin TO think the
time 'ain: far of, when we shall all on us
be called on to give the Frenchmen a
stirring up for not paying us that ust debt
they owe us.
wish could write French as well as
| can American, for then I'D sit down
and give Louis Phillip my notions about
this business, for am paguily afraid he
and his folks don't know as much about
the natur of this country, as they ought
TO know. If thcv or any other Nation
think that because we differ in opinion
here among ourselves on home matters,
we are goin to carry our differences into
foreign matters, they are amazinly mis-
taken.
War 'aint calculated to bring much
profit to any nation, especially to our ma
ton as things now stand, but it will new
or do to look to profit or loss account in
business of this natur.
II The Frenchmen owe us five millions
of dollars, and they must pay it, or we
must try and get it out on 'em, if it costs
| five times the sum. / he mode of doing
this is for Congress to say lfCongress
SAYS, ",raii SpeH," | for one Of the
people say, agreed. If Congress says,
'takc French property enough to pay
| the debit" ] say agreed, and then if the
Frenchmcn do any thing in turn that
looks likes war, and Congress SAYS, ego
al I'm nor boys" ! for one say, 81 am
ready and if any man thinks he can
do more good at the head of Brigade
of Militia than ] can, he is welcome to
my sword ard cock'd hat; and III take
his place in the ranks. don't want bet
ter place to do my duty TO my country,
than that.
\ think il is the duty now ofevery man
on this point, TO drop all politics. Every
man to be sure has right to give his
opinion in Congress, or out OF Congress,
as to the best mode of settling this bust
ness; but when once that Congress has
ordered what is to be done, then my mo-
tion is for all parties to shake hands and
stand by the Government, and II 1t comes
ut last to the point, AND WAR Is THE
Worn, then off coats and 60 mt IT, and
have no dispu'ing among ourselves, till
we have thrashed the enemy.
If Congress should agree with the
Gineral, that the best course, IN case
Frcnchmcn don't pay us, il to take
French property on the Ocean, suppose
the Frenchmen who lose their property,

Monday, December 22d, 1884.
In SENATE-Mr. Clayton, from tho
Committee on the Judiciary, reported
bill to establish the Western Boundary
of the State of Ohio. The resolution
from the House authorizing the sale Of
the Lion and two Horses, presented to
the President by the Emperor of Moroc-
CO, was read, and on motion of MIR Clay
referred to the Committee on Agricul-
ture. The bill providing an indemnity
to American citizens for French Spola-
tons previous to 1900 was taken up, and
Mr.. Shepley continued his speech in
support of it. AT 3 o'clock the further
consideration Of the subject was postpon-
ed, and the Senate vert into Executive
session for a short time.
In THE HoUsE-Several petitions were
presented and referred. The bill to au,-
,horizc Registers and Receivers Of the
Land Offices to administer certain oaths,
was read second time. Mr.. Lane mo-
we'd to amend the bill so as to require the
said officers to administer the oaths free
of expense to the purchasers. He said
that to pass the bill without the amend
mem would be to raise the salaries in
some instances from three to five thou
sand dollars.
After considerable debate the amend
ment was agreed to, and the bill was or
dered TO be engrossed. The House in
commit &C of the whole, resumed the con-
sideration of the bill to regulate and
equalize the pay Of the officers Of the
Navy. The several amendments were
debated at ngth,--and some Of them
were adopted Before going through
the bill, the committee rose, and the
House adjourned.

CHIEF JUsricE MARsHALL.-At et-
ing of the Philadelphia Bar on the 9TH
inst, appropriate resolutions were passed
on the occasion Of the death Of Chief
Justice Marshall; one of them recon-
mending to the Bar Of the United States
to cooperate in erecting monument to
his memory, at some suitable place in
the City of Washington. A Committee e
Of thirty was appointed to make arrange
ments with their brethren in other places
for carrying this res olution into effect
1t was also resolved to wear Grape thirty
days, and, if consistent with the arrange
ments Of the near friends Of the deceas-
ed, to accompany his remains in body
to the place Of embarcation. A commit
tee Of six, consisting Of Judge Baldwin,
Mr. Peters, MIR. Sergeant, Mr.. William
Rawle, jr., Mr.. 7. l. Wharton, and MIR.
f. ID. Ingraham, was appointed on the
part of the Bar to accompany the re-
mains of the Chief Justice TO the city Of

there.-[.N Y. Jour. Com.

FIREs.-ln New York, on Saturday
morning, large brass foundry and cop
per pipe mandatory, at the foot Of 18th
street, on the East River, belonging to
Mr.. Francis Smith, was, with its con-
tents, destroyed bv fire. Loss from
twelve to fifteen thousand dollars.
Another fire broke out, before the en-
gines left the above, in the Dying esta-
blishment of Joseph M'Ewen, in the in
terror Of the block bounded by 10th and
18th streets, and 7th and 9th avenues
Before the engines could be brought to
operate upon the fire, the flames had an
uninterrupted sweep for half an hour
and before it was entirely checked, be-
tween twenty and thirty houses were de-
stroyed, and fifty families turned out of
doors. After the fire was extinguished d ,
a riot took place near the grocery of
VIM. O'Neil. in the course of which he
was severely injured, his house com
plstcly riddled, every pane of glass bro
ken, much property damaged, and some
destroyed.
There was still another fire at I2 o.
clock at noon, in Cross street, which de-
stroyed the roofs and upper stories of
houses No. 80 and 80, which were inba-
bitcd by several poor families.

MIR. Pickering, as Secretary Of State. -
On the resignation Of Chief Justice Ellis
worth, the President advised with MIR.
Marshall respecting the appointment OF
his successor, who at once recommend
] ed Judge G. Patterson. Thus was an up
pointment which the President was re-
luctaut to make, lrom an unwilling ness
to wound the feelings of Judge Cash-
ing, who was the senior Of Mr. Patter-
son on the bench. The office was then
offered to Mr.. Jay, who declined it, and
the President Immediately nominated
MIR. Marshall, who on the 3lst day o!
January, 1901, accordingly became
Chief Justice Of the United States.
It were equally vain and needless to
attempt to convey an adequate idea OF
the extent and value Of the official la
bors Of Chief Justice Marshall. For a
period of nearly thirty-fvs years his
matchless intellect, and admirable vir-
tues have constituted the magnetic and
benignant power, which has bound the
orbs Of our magnificent system Of gov
eminent together, while the disturbing
"'SSS VI P"'yJ 'VoHy anu suhc'ipS (,
have often tempted them to rush asun-
der. The qualities of his mind were
such, as led him instinctively into the
paths Of truth; and he illustrated those
paths SO fully and clearly with the light
Of profound sagacity and resistess rea-
soning, that men were led TO distrust the
judgment, whose conclusions were not
in unison with his. No man had ever a
stronger influence upon the minds of 9TH
ers. That influence was not founded
only on his intellectual superiority; it
was sustained and elevated by that per-
feet purity Of purpose, that true simplici-
ty and kindness of heart, that deep rev.
ercnce for virtue and religion, which
will cause his memory to be honored so
long as true patriotism shall be venera-
ted by the sons of men, Bos. Pat.

scattered over the prairies. A great num-
