was somewhat weak, while that OF the Eokfords was
but little better. The latter club, however battcd
somewhat heavier than the visitors, and by this
means, aided very much by the poor fielding OF the

by his brother scuptors, and they hesitated not

was confined to the ''antque"-that is, presenting

had been added to the roll OF the associa-

and barbecue in September was submitted to the
meeting, and provoked considerable discussion.
One member having moved that the matter be refer

ensued and the harmony OF the meeting was eventu-

1here IL c0nsiderabe discussion going FORWARD IN
England An English writer, in dealing with the
subject calls attention to the fact that shortly after
the accession Of the present ruler OF that country
. premium on gold bullion was ofered by
the Bank OF France, and the payment Of
this premium on the article was con-
sinued for several years. Large quantities Of bullion
were brought to the country and upwards Of one
hundred and nfty millions sterling In gold have since
bnen coined in France, while the mass Of gold in cir
cuaton among all classes Of society proves that by
some means or other the nation has very quickly
grown weather. 10 may be argued that the improve
ment In the political social and industrial condition
of the country has had a share in producing this
change, ana that due allowance should be made also
for the gold required TO replace the silver coinage
ported to India. Still these causes combined are
insufficient to account for the marvellous change
which has taken place and which has made France
at this time the principal storehouse Of gold bullion
In Europe. At the present time the Bank Of
France holds an amount OF bullion nearly double
that held by the Bank Of England. Is this to be
attributed solely to the improved condition of Brance
n So then all that can be said upon the point

rress eaualling this in rapidity, and England must

FROM WASHINGTON.

We find in the Baltimore Sun of Satur-
day last, the following in reference to affairs
at the Federal capital, from one of its cor
respondents -
The action of the Ohio Legislature in with
drawing its assent previously given to the.
fourteenth amendment of the constitution OF
the United States opens up new question
for the consideration and decision of Con-
gress, and as last resort to the judicial de-
partment of the government. The resolu-
tions of the Legislature repeating the past
action OF that body were presented to Con-
gress to-day by Mr.. Eggieston, who, in pre-
senting them, said it was an unpleasant duty
that he had to perform.
This is the first case of retroactive legisla-
ton Of this particular character in this coun-
try, and hence the subject was referred to the
judiciary committee, with instruction to in
quire into the legality of the action of the
State Legislature. Another important ques-
ton involved is whether the President can
send back to 4 State the record OF its action
ratifying constitutional amendment upon
subsequent action of such Legislature, for
the resolutions adopted request the return OF
such record. We evil probably have an early
report upon the subject from the judiciary
committee, and whatever may the action OF
the National Legislature, the subject will GER
tainlY be taken to the court for final adjudi
cation.
After considerable debate, the House to-
dav agreed to the Senate amendment to the
bill repeating the internal tax on cotton, and
the bill now only awaits the. Presidents sig
nature to become a law. The bill as passed
removes the internal tax on the article, and
also removes the import duty from all foreign
cotton imported into the United States after
November, 1868. The sentiment of the
House was almost unanimously opposed to
the Senate amendment, but they were COM
PEELED to accept the latter on the score of ex-
pediency for without it they would have had
no repeal of the tax. From hints thrown out
in debate, however, it is evidently the pur-
pose of the members of the House, while con-
ceding to the Senate in this special bill, to
replace the duty on imported cotton in the
general tax bill when it shall come up for
consideration.
The Senate was so evenly divided upon the
question of the repeal of the tax that the
Senators from the Pacific States held the
balance of power, and they threw it in the
scale that would benefit themselves. Some
two or three cotton manufactures have sprung
up in the State Of California and the cotton
used comes from Mexico, and bargain was
struck with the advocates of repeal in the
Senate, that the influence of the Pacific coast
would be east for the repeal, provided clause
was inserted which would insure them the
Mexican cotton free of duty. The secret
was let ont to day by Mr.. Blaine, whose exs
position surprised many members of the
House, and it no doubt had considerable eff
feet in securing concurrence in the report
of the conference committee.

ings, its tyranny, and that will boldly pro-
claim that these usurpations must have an end,
and at once The question arises, is the con-
servative party of the State of West Virginia
prepared to assume the position that is de-
manded of it, and ready to grapple with the
minions of the base party that has held unbri-
died sway since the State was organized?
There should be no trifing in this matter;
no compromise with the enemy; no yielding
of ground for expediency; no half and half
tickets, composed ofavowed conservatives and
disappointed radicals, who only oppose their
party because they have failed to get their
hands as deep in the public pocket as their
thieving natures desired; no seesawing from
one side to the other, in the hope of gaining
strength. Instead of such a course as this,
let the party organize, and upon its banners
emblazon its principles, and swear to adhere
to them without regard to consequences,an as
sure as the radical party is made up of bond
forgers, whiskey smugglers, and bogus check
ers, so sure will the good sense of the people
robuke them and hurl them from power, never
again to accurse the public places Of the State
with their presence.
Why is it that Jefferson county to day has
three radical representatives to cast two votes
in the State Legislature for resolution en-
dorsing the unconstitutional action of Con-
gress? Why is it that she has a high sheriff
who is politically all things to all mon, whilst
his deputies are of the rankest and most often
sive type of radicalism Why is it that she
is afflicted with a prosecuting attorney whose
knowledge of law and the duties of his po-
sition seems to consist in the skill with which
he bites his fnger-nails? Why is it that her
circuit clerkship is filed by member Of that
family whose very name has become the EN-
bodiment politically of all that is foul, and
mean, and low and debased? Aye, the an
swer to all these questions is at hand Sim
ply because the Conservative party has failed
in its duty to the people, and has fallen inn
measurably below its high destiny in rescu-
ing the county from the usurped control of
these unprncipled political cormorants. And
so it will continue to be until organization is
effected, and the reins tightly drawn OF
those entitled to vote under the registration
laws enacted by these radical assassins, the
conservatives have majority of not less than
one hundred in this county, and yet at every
election the old story is repeated, and radicals
are elected. We close, with the remark that
the party that will not take care OF itself, de-
serves to be defeated

that before long the party would come to him.
Mr.. SUMNER rose.
Mr.. HENDRICKS declined to be interrupt
ed. He knew where it would lead to-
Laughter.
Mr.. SUMNER only wished to say that he
had never doubted the power of Congress
under the Constitution to carry oHt this leg
islation, and in this he differed from the dis
tinguished gentleman of the other House.
Mr.. HENDRICKS said at this time, when
the Senator from Massachusetts had adTo-
Gated his views, the Senator from Maine,
(Hr. Fessenden,) in burning words had re-
pudiated the right of Congress to,taSe such
action and it was also denied by the Senator
from Ohio, (Ir. Sherman.)
Mr.. FEssENDEN said if the Senator (Nr.
Hendricks) continued to make false state
nicnts, he must expect to be Interrupted
He (Mr L. denied that he had been incon-
sistent, or that the position of the Senator
from Massachusetts had been correctly quoted.
Mr. SUMNEK-The Senator (Mr. Hen
dricks) is right. That is the position l as
spmed.
Mr. HENDRIcEs was not abiding to the
position of the Senator from Maine, but to
that of the Senator from Massachusetts,
Perhaps it would be well to hold another eau
Gus to decide this question. His colleague
(Mr. Morton) had also spoken OF Jefferson
Davis not being punished. Why was he not
punished? They had court, presided over
by Chief Justice Chase, which could try him;
they had another court presided over by
Judge Underwood, but Horace Greeley steps
in and saves him. Whose fault was it +! He
(NIr. II. } had nothing to do with it. If JEFF
ferson Davis was in the way of the congress
sional plan of reconstruction, pass law and
hang him.
Mr. BucKALEw- is clear right
to do it under the guarantee clause. Laugh
ter.
Mr.. HENDRICKs.-Of course, any law that
is necessary may be passed under that clause.
1t covers everything. Another charge made
by his colleague was that the democratic par
ty would pay for the emancipated slaves
There was never anything so ridiculous. Mr..
II. then alluded to the bill passed, as he said.
by republican Congress to pay for the slaves
in the District of Columbia, and the resolu-
ton introduced in the House by Mr. Conk-
ling looking to the payment for slaves in the
South.
The Senate at P VI. adjourned.
