Observation-Disclosures have adopted queer
policy, all, as manyas could, registering, and
then refusing to vote, hoping by that means
to defeat the movement, for the law requires
the majority of all the registered voters for
the ratification of the new constitution.
Having exhausted invective, attributed to
the legislation of Congress in the civil tenure
bill the unparalleled corruption of his own
appointees, he turns our attention to the fl
nances. Although we feel the truth of his
remarks in regard to them, and perhaps
agree with him in the desire for a return to
specie payments, still we cannot help remem-
boring whence the counsel comes. We rec
ognize it as from the same one who did more
than any other to cause distrust of our bonds,
by his conversations with Democratic jour
nalists, especially &c Miles O'Reilly." In
view of all these things we must feel that
such sentiments are merely a sop thrown to
the people to reconcile them to the disagree
able and indigestible matter of his message.
Specie payment, however, is what we need !,
and what should be given us Immediately,
that the fever of speculation may be broken
up, and the business of the country estab-
lished a firm basis once more. Should
Congress thus provide, specie payment could
be resumed easily in three months This all
sound men desire, and can only hope that
their counsels may prevail.
SENATOR EDMUNDs' SPEECH.
Mr. Edmunds yesterday made speech in
support of his bill pledging Congress to the
payment of bonds, principal and interest in
gold i was very well received, good ar
gument, full of quotations from the writings
of political economists, and closed with an
appeal for the plighted faith of the nation.
OTHER SPEECHES.
Many of the members will make speeches
on this and kindred subjects, and some able
ones have already been delivered. But most
could probably agree partly, and some en-
tirely, with the sentiments of the following
celebrated letter:
Il like the theme you lately gave out ex-
tremely, and should be as glad to handle it
as any man living; but find myself no bet
ter qualified to write about money than
about my wife; for, to tell you secret,
which desire may go no farther, am mas
ter of neither of those subjects.
Yours, Pill GARLICK.
FINANCE AND IMPEACHMENT.
| am intending to obtain all the PROPOSE
tions relative to the finances that are now
before Congress, and hope to let you have
them soon. Impeachment has occupied the
House for the last two days but if it did not
receive its quietus to-day, it will soon. Mr..
Boutwell, made very powerful and eloquent
speech in support of the report OF the major
itv of the committee.
INDIFFERENCE.
Thus far there has been no disturbance,
and we anticipate a very pleasant time

long recess next summer. and the usual

DEATH OF JUDGE WAYNE,-We are
panied to learn that Hon. James NJ.
Wayne, of Georgia, Associate Justice
of the Supreme Court Of the United
States, died at Washington on the 4th
inst. Judge Wayne was born in Sa-
vannah, Georgia, in the year 1870, and
was educated at Princeton College. He
became eminent as q lawyer and poll
tician at an early age, and filled many
Offices of trust in his native State. He
was member of Congress during the
notification troubles and sustained the
Administration of General jackson
against the South Carolina politicians.
He was appointed by General Jackson
Associate Justice of the Supreme Court
in the year 1885 and has held the Office
ever since.
Judge Wayne was jdrist Of good
abilities and most estimable private
character. His death leaves a vacancy
which if filed by a Radical will throw
the Supreme Court into the hands of
the revolutionary party.

HOUSE.

Mr.. Kerr offered resolution instruct.
ing the committee IN Ways and Means
to inquire into the eXpediency of so
amending the internal revenue law as
TO exempt from payment of the stamp
duty all official bonds executed to or
for the use of religious, charitable or
benevolent societies. Adopted.
The Speaker presented letter from
the Clerk of the House, stating that lie
had prepared and depositec, i'll the
House library n di"ested index OF the
reports of the House committees from
1899 to the close of the last Congress,
comparing with similar index from
the foundation of the Government till
1899, for which no appropriation was
required.
On motion Of Mr. FarnswOrth, the
House went into committee of the
Whole on the state of the Union, Mr.
| Farnsworth in the chair.
Mr.. Van Trump spoke in condcmna-
| tiOn of the late impeachment project.
Mr. Lawrence, of Ohio, defended it..
Ne yielded 10 many Interruptions, and
his speech was made up Of questioning
aud responses between himself and
McSsrs. Eldridge, Wilson, (0f lowa),
Bower, Getz and others.
Nj. Woodward made brief argu-
ment on the law of impeachment, ar
guimg that the word misdemeanor, as
used in the Constitution means not u
violation of the law, but misconduct i'll
office, knowingly done to the prejudice
of the public or of individuals.
Mr.. Garfield inquired whether, if the
President was not defended by some
law defining what constituted INSIDE
meaaor, he was not at the mercy of
two-thirds of the Senate, who might de-
clare bin guilty of misdemeanor in of
flee without regard to common law or
common sense.
Mr.. Woodward held that every officer
of the government held his office sub
ject to the impeaching power and re-
marked that there was much more dan
ger of corrupt officials remaining unim-
peached than there was of men who had
been faithful in office being impeached.
The Committee rose and the House adj
journed.
