WEDNESDAY MORNING. APRIL o.
MR.. IRyING's SPEECH.


Mr. Irvins's Speech was the first delivered in tie
House OF Delegates in favor OF Distribution, and
Il is one Of the ables, which the discussion has
brought forth. Some Of its views are conclusive on
the main points; the Right OF the States to the
Land money, and the policy Of Distribution. In
respect to the first. perfectly unanswerabc, and
upon his exhibition OF authority and precedent for
distribution. We might safely rely, and challenge
the whole tribe OF Federalsts, who are seeking to
cheat the States of their dues. In i7s5, at the first
session OF Congress after the Deeds Of Cession,
an ordnance was passed for a distribution Of the
proceeds OF the public Lands among the States
This was a cotemporaneous construction OF those
deeds, and was an emphatic declaration, that Con
eress held the Lands in the capacity OF trustee for
the States. The subsequent adoption Of the Con
sti,uton did not affect the rights OF the States in
the east-for the rights OF the States in this part.
eular were expressly protected by the Constitution
Il is true. the States permitted Congress to apply
the Land fund to The debt of the Revolution; -aud
before th't debt vas paid, another war debt was
contracted, and they continued to acquesee, through
an excess of beralty, IN the application Of the
Land Money TO the payment Of that.
And Iow, when they step forward and claim
their own. they insul,ed by the Federal minions
and stismatized hase mendicants for Federal
bounty Tha, is gratitude Tor YOU!

UNITED STATES SENATE.
FLORIDA WAR FINALLY ENDED.

The President of the United States this NOR
ming sent an interesting communication 10 the
Senate in reference 10 the Florida war. The
President states that there are but 240 Indians
now in Florida, and that but go Of them are
capable of bearing arms. The President
further stated tia, he had declared the war in
Florida 10 be ended. All military operations
we're hereafter 10 be limited TO the protection
of the citizens of,he territory. In conclusion
of the message the President recommended the
armed occupation of Florida by giving grants
of land.
The message seemed TO be well received by
the Senate, and gave rise 10 a brief debate be
tween Messrs P reston and Sewer. Mr.. Pres
ton paid high compliment 10 the command
ing officer in Florida. He believed the war
had now ended, and thought the officer in
command deserved some special mark OF favor
from the Senate Mr.. Sewer thought if it came
TO that, that the ten Indians who had been in
strumenial in making the pacific negotiations
had endad the war more than the army
had. The Presidents Message was ordered

Washington, May l3'
The Civil and Diplomatic Bill Yesterday
evening passed the House of REPRESENTATIVES:
as many of the Senate amendments were moi
concurred in by the House, and new amend
ments proposed. the Bill again has 10 90

The new amendment Of the House appropri.
ates .tre thousand dollars for a commercial
agency on the coast of Africa and a full cuff,
Tor the new Charge des Afaires 10 Holland.
The former amendment was well received bv
the committee, and was introduced TO protect
the too long neglected intrests of this govern.
ment upon the African trade than from anv
other cause.
The closing debate upon the Civil and Di.
piomatic Bill to-day had reference 10 a matter
much more persona! than public. Mr. ORA.
per. the architect of the New York Custom
Housr, is the party implicated, and he is cbaro.
ed with interpolaling letter of the Hon. Lev;

copy, but which is not one in fact. The in,

such is The opinion of the House and of mem.

PIED Inc letter from memory, and that the To-,

Let it be remembered that President Jack

at time when this great country, TO use his
own language, was prosperous and happy -
nay, as Mr.. Secretary Woodbury's reports
show, at a time zen there was a surplus in
the National Treasury of FORTY MILL

of four years. Van Buren, had drained the
Treasury of IFS last dollar, and had created

Mr. S. was 70, in the House during the day
end was seen at Bladensburgh. Mr.. Wise
was present, and participated in the proceed

will be duel, but when or where is pro-
found secret. The Marshal of the District is
on the qui uiue TO preserve the peace withia

The laws of Congress against duell;ng will
be easily avoided. the parties contend. by ex

Nav u, 1912.

In the House. the tariff report of the Score.
tary Of STATE was referred this morning TO the
Committee of ways and means. A motion
was submitted 10 refer to the Committee of the
whole on the State Of the Union. and lost by q
vote of lib 10 81. The reference was then
made to the Ways and Means, without obicc.
ton.
The Civil and Diplomatic Bill was then bro't
forward as the business in order for the remain.
der of the day. The pending amendment, CIV
ing full outfit 10 Mr.. Hughes the new Charge
10 the Hague, was carried by vote of 81 10
TO 60.
Other items Of the bill were then considered
and one was soon found of controveried char
acler.
The Senate had stricken from the House bill
provision for Despatch Agents, and the ques.
ton was upon concurrence. Mr.. Wood of
N. Y. commended that We had officers enough
at home and abroad who might attend 10 this
duty. The collectors here and the Consu's a.
broad could do all Which nigh, be necessary
TO have been done. The Secretary of Stale
had given the Office 10 brother-in law in New
York, and there was no necessity for such On
office.
Mr.. Gushing said that the office was an I'M
portant one, and no sinecure. The mode of
transmitting documents by these agents was
the safest and the most economical. His du.
ties could not be performed by others unless
additional compensation was allowed.
Mr.. Everett, thought The Office should not be
continued. 1t first attracted notice in 1918.
The officer was not even commissioned by
the President. but received his appointment
from the Secretary of State. TIE per annum
pay of this officer is but 800.
Mr.. Adams defended the appropriation, and
shed, as he always does, great light upon n
small subject.-The debate upon this little
matter continued ill late hour, until three
times the amount of his salary was consum.

The morning business was no, imporrant.

GENERAL JACKSON.
The ghost Of General jackson very uncer.
enormously stalked into the Senate this morn.
ing. Mr.. Linn of Missouri, marsha,led the
way by moving that bill proposing the re.
funding of fine shonld be taken up for con.
sideration. This bill was brought forward
some lime since, and declares that the fine O.
900 imposed upon General Jackson shall
be refunded from moneys in the Treasury not
otherwise appropriated.
The Bill was taken up by vote of 10 to
Is, and long debate ensued upon it. The
Committee on the Judiciary had reported ad
veTsely 10 the bill upon the merits of the case,
and their report was debated in opposition by
Messrs Walker, Benton, Buchanan and King.
Mr.. Critienden of Ky. and Mr.. Berrien Of
Ga, b,th members ofthe Judiciary Committee,
opposed the bill, conlending that there was no
good case made out. and no good reason Civ.

by the comminglcd blood of our reyolu!ion7fi

that just reason, when the struggle was ended
they were ceded By the States in which ihcl
were located 10 the whole confederacy, as

RHODE ISLAND. The Providence Journal,
of Tuesday. remarking on the course of the
disorganizers in Rhode Island, says:
The atrocious project charged upon Mr..
Dorr, of calling upon armed rufians from New
York to come here and sustain him upon the
bloody throne which he hopes to erect in this
State, is not only admitted in his speech yes
terdav, but boldly avowed with the correction,
the number called for was five thousand, not
five hundred! Here is man claiming to be
supported by majority at home, yet calling
upon foreign aid to maintain his power. The
character of such aid as can be found in New
York is understood by every one. No honor.
able men, no friends of law, no true citizens of
any State, would engage in such desperate
enterprise but the scum of all the earth, the
vagabonds of the FIVE Points, the Spartan.
Band, the desperate villains of every country
who congregate in certain portions of New
York, are the men who, induced by the hope
of plumber. are expected to come here, and
amid incendiarism, murder. and rapine, estab-
fish the reign Of Thomas w. Dorr. Can any
language be too strong in denouncing the man
whose unprincipled demagoguism has led him
to such a measured How long will honest
men be deluded into sanctioning his course,
participating in his crimes, and rendering
themselves liable to his punishment
As to the desperadoes ofNew York, we do
not suppose that any thing that we say will
reach them if it does, they may rest assured
that if they come here upon any such errand,
they will never return. The men Of Rhode |
Island are ready TO defend their institutions |

The Appointment Bill from the House Of

the crucible of the Judiciary Committee, does
not preserve the Dis,ricting System as before
stated. II leaves the whole matter to the

should adopt the distric!ing system they shall
