tian Trus>e!l in the woods, in Dale, Gutagamie
county, New York, by Il most singular and
terrible accident, as follows:
1t appears that party OF men were in the
woods cutting fallow, and where they were
chopping two large trees had been felled-

near these trees, and another party having a
large tree about ready to come Down. bailed
him to look out, when he ran and stood on the
top OF the balancing tree to see the other come
down. The men then brought the tree down,
which struck the other end of the tree on which
Trusse was standing. and the tremendous
weight Of it coming upon the spring lever threw
feet In coming down one of his legs, from
his knee to his hip, was shattered to atoms,
and the back Of his head was stove in He
was taken up with some life in him. but soon
expired.

abundantly. I am ready to vote any ad-
ditional relief to them. / have voted
hitherto, know, tenfold the supplies to
them that are proposed in this resolution.
If gentlemen will take the pains to make
the computation, it will be found that this
joint resolution provides only to the
amount of fraction over eighteen dollars
per capita to save sixty thousand people
from destitution during the space of five
months. That is the head and front of
its offending. Do not, then, 1 pray you,
ask that this Government shall degrade
itself in the presence of the civilized
world by refusing supplies to its own cit
liens who are furnishing for bread, and
stop to inquire Of the starving thousands
whether they were friends or enemies
Sir, you cannot discriminate. if you
would, between friends and enemies when
furnishing men ask for bread.

ject by words that come down to us

antiquity, when famine swept over Thraos,

Speech Of Mr.. Bingham.

We give below the remarks Of Mr..
Bingham, of Ohio, on the bill making an
appropriation for the relief of the desti-
tute people in the South. We give this
speech place in our columns, not be-
cause we approve Of all the sentiments ut.
tered by its author, but because it places
the question properly before the Ameri-
can people, aud because of the manly,
patriotic and statesmanlike manner with
which the subject is handled. In this mat.
ter MIR. Bingham rises above party tram
mels, and the narrow and selfish views of
the mere politician, and takes at once the
position of an enlightened statesmen who
desires to be of service to the whole couu-
try, and whose views are not crcumscribed
by the prejudices and passions which now
unfortunately, seem to govern too many
of our party leaders
Mr.. BINGHAM. Mr.. Chairman. 7
had hoped that this joint resolution would
not have met with any opposition in this
House, and especially upon the Ropubli.
can side of it; and, above all things,
had hoped that after the record made by
the Thirty Ninth Congress no Republican
would undertake to say in this Hall that
it is not warranted by the Constitution to
provide for the relief Of the poor Of any
part of this country by au appropriation
out of our common Treasury.
Why, sir, at the first session of the last
Congress bill was introduced upon the
Republican side of the House, which
had the honor, III part, to aid in passing,
which appropriated out of the common
Treasury Of the United States for the sup
port of refugees and freedmen in the sew
eral States lately in instruction not less
than 100000. And yet, sir, we are
to be told to-day that that Legislation is
not warranted by the Constitution
trust that those gentlemen who recorded
their votes by yeas and nays in favor of
the appropriation for this purpose by the
Thrty-Niuth Congress will not take a step
backward, aud concede at the gentle
man from Massachusetts Mr.. Buter1 is
right in the position which he has as
sumed.
Mr.. BUTLER. Mr.. Chairman, must
have made myself lily understood; what
| said was, that gentlemen on the other
side, the strict coustructionists of the
Constitution, would have said in tho ear
ler days-before the war--that it was
unconstitutional to make any such appro-
pratiou but tha. for myself | had got
far beyond that idea. | think we have a
right not only TO appropriate money to
feed these people, but to appropriate mon
ey to govern them to make them do ex-
actly what we say they shall do, aud omit
to do exactly what we say they shall not
do. They are entirely in our hands, and,
SO far as l am concerned, have no doubt
about the power.
Mr.. BINGHAM. | am very glad to
know that the gentleman does not object
to the power to make this appropriation,
and yet he certainly objects to the obj ect
Of the joint resolution, and undertakes to

A LARGE CATHEDRAL.-The Roman
Catholics of St. Louis contemplate the
erection of a cathedral, which, when
finished, is to surpass the one in course Of
erection in New York, which was projected
by Archbishop Hughes, as far as that will
surpass the present cathedral at Philadel-
phia. The plot on which the new oathe-
dral is to be erected is over four hundred
feet long by one hundred and fifty feet
wide, being over 10000 square feet
This will afford room for the largest church
edifice in the United States, and as large
as some of the celebrated cathedrals OF
Europe.
