New-York daily tribune., 1858-04-09

In Congress, yesterday, the House, sfter refusing
to table or recommit the Deficiency Appropriation
BILL rejected it by vote of 1O6 Yeas to ia Nays.
The Kansas bill was then taken up. Mr. Mont
eomery moved that the House adhere to It's
amendment; Mr.. Maynard that it "recede."
The Litter motion was decided to be out Of order.
Upon the former the vote stood 1l9 Yeas to Ill
Nays, the only change from that recorded upon the
original adoption of the Montgomery amendment
being cau.ed by the absence Of two members, who
were paired. Pending reconsideration of the
vote upon the Deficiency bill, the House adjourned.
Thus were two decisive victories over "Demo-
cratic" Administration gained in strongly "Dem
ocrstic" House Of Representatives in single day.
The SENATE discussed the abuses of the public
printing, until Mr. johnson of Arkansas moved to
amend the bill of 1852, suggesting that the motion
be considered on Thursday next. Mr. Gwin re-
ported Pacific Railroad bill, the consideration Of
which was postpored. The Diplomatic bill, slightly
amended, was passed. Dir. Douglas reported the
bill for tie organization Of Arizona, verbally amend
cd. The resolution proposing to give Commodore
Psuldirg medal Was taken up, on motion Of Mr.
SEdell, who made it a prete1t for reading q long
speech about Central America and Cuba. Mr..
SGdell expressed a small opinion of Gen. Walker,
and proposed that the President be empowered to
suspend the Neutrality laws during the recess Of
Conpress

exhibit ability, or to find . reason for any course
te had determined to follow. Maryiand nuud
but one Of her Senators ready to speak for aer 'nc
ne not ter ablest representative.
The most powerful debater on the Administration
'ite Of The question: and the man who carried 'no
argumen. most fercey iuto the ranks OF Inc OPPo-
sitiop, was Toonbs Ct Georgia. His hrt speech
was smaste,piece Of exteppcraneOus discussion,
curt in statement, broad in principle, distinct in
view sd powerful in manner. His last eKhioi'ed
the PUCK aDd power Of strong man struggling
under ioad that was crushog him st every step
yet rescute to the last. Clay Of Alabama end
Brown Of Mississippi each urged their views with
less Of passion than is usual with those gentlemen
especially the former. Mr.. Clsyis speaker OF
unusual strength and violence. He disriayed much
Of his best and little Of his worst Characteristic on
tie present occasion We should not over
look the marked and significant efforts OF the
two colleagues Of the two most prominent
Northern opponents Of Lecompton. We suude
to Trumbull Of Illinois and Prestoi King Of New
York. Mr. King is 5 new member AID contented
himself with single exposition OF his position and
his views, which partook strikingly Of that strdy
msnhcod and underwriting recttude OF purpose 'ast
have Gig, flied his honorable career. Mr. TrumouiL
prompt, ready and defiant, never missed an oc'
casi IN 70 naintain his eide Of the argument, with
lower always felt, and often sduirej. The sue
cessor of Mr.. Cass also brought souod sense, in
trepid resolution aud North Western energy, into
edf ctye play in this debate, and most happily Illus
trated that practical feature Of American character
which shows itself able to adspt itself to the ext
pepces Of the occasion. The Wisconsin Senators
lid their full duty in behalf of that noble
Republican State. But Of all the Western
men none dealt more effective blows than
Senator Wade of Ohio. His speech was
the solid ore. Melted down into the current coin
Of political augmentation, i would arp; ."rr. .s%s
dant capital for number Of ordinary orators. His
blows were Titanic, and if speaking ever demol'
shed fabric Of les he ground Leco-npton TO
powder. Another of the ables, speeches was made
by John Bell of Tennessee. This gentleman is
always accurate thorough and comprehensive. No
man ever gives fairly aud completely all that can
be ssd on both sides Of the topics be discusses, and
no man is wiser or more statesmarlike in bis con.
cIusions, nor more considerate in action. Never
popular speaker in the ordinary sense, he is, what
is far better, a speaker of uncommon range Of
thought, emnently instructive full, logical, adrcit
and thoroughly informed.
Such, in brief, we're the speakers aud the
speeches of this great debate. In the House of
Repre- sentatives Owen Lovejoy had some admira-
Bile rhetoric on Slavery and Winter Davis discussed
the law of the question with unusual power.
There were numerous other efforts of striking
ability but we cannot even refer to their authors
by name.
New-York daily tribune., 1858-04-09

csnntt imagine q reason why any citizen who
would have elections carried by legal votes and no
others, should oppose q Registry Law. Admit
that many are ignorant Of the enormous prevalence
of Illegal double treble and quintuple voting at our
warmly contested elections it must still be obvious
to all that Illegal votes be poed in great cities
10 any conceivable extent; and why should this
facility be continued, this peril left unaverted !
What reason, what right, have our law makers to
leave every citizens honest suffrage liable to be
neutralized and destroyed By the illegal vote OF any
lcafer or released convict whom dollar or pint OF
brandy vii hire to vote dozen times in so many
different election districts Why should the cor
ner stone Of our liberties be thus permitted to rest
in the thimb!es and little joker " Of any rascal
who chooses to make swindling in politics his
profession
But the peril s BY no mems an abstract, ideal
one. At the very last Election in this City, the
majority polled or counted out for Fernando Wood
in the Fourth and Sixth Wards exceeded Whist we
believe to be the full legal vote of those Wards.
His Illegal vote in the whole City carnot have been
le,s than Ten Thoussnd-al Of it, we are coni'
dent, cat by less than Two thousand persons.
And the system of cheating BY Illegal votes grows
gear BY year in extent and efficiency. 1t there be
no check applied, brokers in illegal votes will ere
long make contracts TO poll them by the thousand
and Dive their bargains with this or that party
according to the offers they may be able to pro-
woke. And this is no local, no partial evil. The
Illegal votes cast in two or three great cities may
defeat the fairly elected choice of the great msor'y
Of the rural voters. There should be atop to
tbs, and it cannot come too soon. If it be PoSsl-
bic, we entreat the friends of honest, legal voting
