WAsHIsGToS Oct. 6, 1887.
We had quite warm debate to-day in the House
an the subject ofthe Florida war resolution MessEs
Wise, Loomis, Gasscock, John Quincy Adams,
and Col Howard OF Maryland, took part in the de-
bate for while we had a prospect OF an animated
discussion: but ii was at last cut oil by sustained
call for the orders of the day. Itappears to be the
desire of an parties to pass the resolution; but as
Mr. Wise manages to keep up bad feeling around
him, it is not probable that the resolution wii De
adop,ed at this session. When the orders OF the
day were called, the Treasury Note Bill was taken
up aud discussed by Messrs Bond OF OHIO, NJ MN
Of MARYLAND, and Gushing Of Massachusetts. The
debate Is vet going on, and suppose 1t VIII be kepl
before the House I'LL late hour tonight mat II
yU mass is as certain as the existence OF tie sun,
and vet il will be opposed by most of the wings
iiou, the commercial cities of the Union, notwtl-
standing It's calculated in its effects TO operate I'M
mcdiatcly 10 the advantage and relel OF tile mer-
chants And vet these same gentlemen are most
yocileroS in the cries about the suterngS OF the
merchants Since the bill was called up THIS NOR
ninC the Hon Isaac M'Kim, of Maryland, has adj
dressed the House, and made bnel speech III Ia
yor Of tie massage Of the bill; and, though he was
on the floor but few moments, he threw Hood OF
light on the subject and concuslvely capSlzed at
the onset all the duI and stupid metaphorcal rant
and defamation of the lawyers. Mr. NJ hln Is
always at home on subjects OF the KIND. long
life devoted 10 commerce and monetary AFFAIRS mas
prominently qualified him for the dlscuSsonol suell
subjects. lie has them at his fingers end at all
times, and the man who may attempt TO controvert
his positions, will find imscltinvolyed IN dilemma
from which II may be found difficult to escape.
The Honorable Isaac Nj Kim has for years been
warm and decided advocate of the principles of the
Democracy of the nation, and in all OF the worst
| DAYS of party excitement, has been found the UNI
compromising friend and champion OF Republican
usares. His course, las consequently subjected
him to the abuse Of the arStocracy, and OF that
! party which has for years struggled to establish
among us The docmas )i a kpgly government. He
has been as3aed by many Of the presses IN the pay
of the arstocfacy, and no effort has been spared
! 10 produce his political and personal prosra,lon.
| All attempts of the kind have, however, proved mis-
erahIy abortive, and Mr. M'Kim has most success
! fully trunphed over The wiles Of his opponents
| He comes from the intelligent and muntcent city
of Baltimore, and nobly does he represent her. In
private, as well as in public life, Mr. Mkim Is be-
! yond rcproach. His public acts have not been more
| auspciouS than lis private deeds have been noble
and commendabc. For the city Of Baltimore he
has done much; and if the famous Cardinal Wosey
was Justly entitled to immortality for erecting three
twin fountains of learning at Oxford and Ipswich,
Mr. MKim should be euloglsed for establishing one
of the uobcst charities that add grace and glory to
the city of Baltimore.
The Treasury Note bin is still vnder discussion
and as it viii not be disposed O. till a late hour,
am compelled to commit my pote to the mail. Thu
American Senate is not today in session.
Your ob't serv't.
