SENATOR DoOLITTLE's SPEECH


ance and said the doctrines Of the speech
were "abominable.' But that clear headed
Republican sheet, the Springfield NIass.)
Republican,, thinks that the ''unusua agita-
tom displayed by the Radical Senators was
caused by the strong case made by Senator
Doolittlc against the Radicals. 1t says:
Mr.. Doolittle made mince-mcat OF tho argu-
ment 80 often heard in Congress, that the South
had the opportunity to DO restored without negro
suffrage, by accepting the fourteenth amendment
to the Constitution. he showed that the South
ern people rejected this amendment because they
felt that it would be dishonorable to assent to
the Acknowledgement and exclusion from office
of their more intelligent and influential citizens.
with whom they had been involved in a common
crime; and that there was really very little OBJ
lection made 10 the amendment because of its
reduction Of Southern representation in Con-
gress He argued that by submitting this
amendment to the Southern Legislatures Con-
gress acknowledged their validity, and that the
Republican members really intended to admit
the States to representation in Congress upon
their adoption Of the amendment; and that they
have completely reversed both their theory and
practice on the question by undertaking to re-
construct the State Governments. Senator Nye
OF Nevada admitted this, and went so far as to
say that if the Southern Governments had nc.
cepted the amendment they would have been
valid Governments. but, having rejected it, Con.
gress had the right to so farther, blot out the
States, and begin at the foundation. The frank
admission of the Nevada Senator added much to
the strength Of Dir. Doolittles argument. Mr..
Doolittle made effective use also Of TLad. Ste.
vans' admissions, that the Reconstruction legis-
iation is Outside the Constitution" and that its
II % l. Z
the MON party" 1t is not necessary to follow
\ Mr. Doolitte into the deeails Of his argument
ssanst the Reconstruction scheme. He made a
very strong case against it, and the unusual agi-
taton caused by the speech among the more
Radical Senator's attested its power.

is only given them once day, and a. they are
savages at best, they would trample each other
in the mud, but the business is conducted under
the directions Of soldier who arms three or four
negroes with swords, who interfere when they
are likely to become unruly. They, however,
shove each other about as much as they dare to,
the swordsmen occasionally interfering to keep
the peace, and to come up in single file. As
soon as they draw their rations, the most of them
fall to eating, but some carry their ratiens away
with them. Some stayed around gnawing their
hard bread and supping from some old vessel

amined this bread and soup, and would pro.
nounce them the most UNBEATABLE mess ever saw
go into human mouths; examined the people
and mixed and conversed freely with them while
they were waiting for their rations, and while
eating them, and found them exceedingly low in
the grade OF humanity. They are much lower
and more ignorant than the negroes OF the north,
or the walters that are met with about hotels in
the south. Their foreheads are low and rece-
ding, and their countenances show no signs Of
intelligence compared with the northern negroes
or sprightly hotel walters. These people gen.
orally blame the whites for not furnishing them
work, bnt the whites, when'inquired Of about it,
say they are unwilling to work. Men from tho
country said they would be glad to get them
back to tho country, but they would not for any
consideration leave the city; that they would
rather starve in the city, than work and be well
fed in the country.

From the Chicago Tribune.
Playing With Uncle Sam.
FORMER POSTMASTER SUED TO RECOVER
EIGHT CENTS

On Friday last there appeared in the Tribune
report of the proceedings of the courts an entry
that in the United States Circuit Court there had
been instituted suit by the United States of
America, against Albert Cook, Isaac Lott, Chas.
Z. Thurman and Elisha Taylor. Mr.. Cook, who
resides in Kendall county saw this notice in the
Tribune, and apprehensive that he had been
falsely accused OF some offence, came to Chicago
to give himself up to justice, and be tried by his
country. He consulted counsel, A. S. Alexander,
Esq, and, with solemn step, both proceeded to
the United States court room.
1t appears that Mr.. Cook was at one time
Postmaster in Newark, and getting tired of Off
cial honors resigned. His resignation was ac-
cepted, and he was instructed to forward tho
postage stamps on hand by express, with his &C.
count. He did so. This was last May. Some
time afterwards Cook received an acknowledge
ment of his remittance, but notice that the
stamps were eight cents short Cook being sat
isfed that he had sent all the stamps, paid no
further attention to the matter.
Upon examining the papers in the suit, it was
found that the Postmaster General had institut-
ed suit against Albert Cook and the sureties on
his bond, for the sam Of eight cents A further
examination disclosed that the Clerks costs had
already reached $40. and the United States At.
torney's u.s. A visit to the Marshal's office
found that gentleman prepared to visit Kendall
county, to make personal service of the writ.
An appearance was entered, thereby saving SEQ
mileage fee for the Marshal. The defendant
therefore confessed Judgment for himself and CO.
defendants, paid all the costs, and deposited nine
cents in the hands of the clerk to satisfy the or.
iginal claim of the United States
We question whether in the annals Of govern.

vigorous collection of the lawful revenue of the

~
We do not know a meaner spectacle
than Pennsylvania depreciating, with
studied falsehoods, the noble conduct of
Governor Seymour, during the invasion
of our State by the rebels. What need
we say to men who saw and felt the
inspiring influence Of his vigOr, to recall
the feelings Of gratitude which then fill
ed the breasts of every true son of our
State, towards Horatio Seymour 7 His
stirring kilograms, each announcing the
march of fresh regiments, kindled here
the spirit that our own imbecile leaders
failed to rouse. Fast upon the annonuc>

The Governor declared that "military

"Pennsylvania from invasion-certain.
"ly of the city-will lie found on the
"banks of the Susquehanna." In this,
it seems General Dana did not concur,
but paralyzed all organizations for sor'
vice on the Susquehanna, by making a
futile organization of the citizens for the
defense Of Philadelphia, on the Schuyl,
kill. In consequence, Governor Cur
tin could not get regiment. raised in
Philadelphia. Even wealthy associa
tions like the Union League, and the
Corn Exchange did not get a regimen
