removal, good faith and equity demand
that the county should be held harm
less against such loss; and that Bellaire
should provide o fund equal to the

situated, free Of any cost, to the balance

That for this purpose we respectfully

question of removal, which law or pro-

for the use of the county toward the
erection of appropriate buildings for
county purposes, and also that suitable

Senator Wiley.

While the bill to reconstruct recon-
Struction in the State of Georgia was
pending on Friday, Senator MORTON, of
Indiana, proposed an amendment re-
quiring the Legislature of that State to
ratify the Fifteenth Amendment before
Senators and Representatives from
Georgia are admitted to seats in Con-
grcss. Upon this amendment the vote
stood yeas 30, nays l. Senator WILEY,
Of West Virgi,ia, voted with the Dem
ocrats and against the amendment.
Here one would think is an illustration
of the salutary effect of the late election

The fsenl EepudiutoTs.

Iu tie discussion in the House of Rep
rcsentatives on Thursday upon repudi-
alton, several Democraticimembers en-
braced the opportunity to show that the
Republican party had been the original
repudiators, having repudiated por-
ton of the debts due to everybody but
the office. holders and bondholders.
Mr.. Woodward, (Demccrat,) of
Pennsylvania, having obtained the
floor, referred to the fact that
many years ago the Republican
county of Allegheny, Pennsylvania, and
the Republican city of Pittsburgh, Pa,
had repudiated debt to q certain ex-
tent, and that he, as judge then upon
the bench, had occasion to meet
the repudiators at that time. 1t was
fierce struggle between the
judicial authority of the State and the
Republican party Of Allegheny county
and the city of Pittsburgh, but the ju.
dicial authority finally triumphed. The
Republican party, in 1852, having then
possession of the Congress of the
United States, passed an act which he
(Woodward) thought looked like an act
of repudiatien, for it declared that Ger.
tain notes should be a legal-tender for
all debts, dollar for dollar. He (Mr.
Woodward) was disposed to rebel
against that act, and when he c. me into
Congress he offered bill to repeal the
said law. That bill was introduced in
Republican Congress, and it has
slumbered ever since in a Repub-
lican COMMITTEES on the Judiciary. He
wanted the country TO understand
that Republican Congress first taught
the reputation of part Of the debt.
When our soldiers went out to war for
the cause of the Union they contracted
for payment on a specie basis, aud a
Republican Congress repudiated that
contract and paid them in a deprecated
currency. These several acts of repu-
diation by Republican Government
have had the effect of setting his Wood
ward's) face IKE flint against any act
of reputation of any portion of the
debt, and against all Iepudiators; and he
looked forward to the time when he
would again have to stand mp against
the repudiating policy of Republican
Congress, as he had stood up as judge
against the reputation theories of q
Republican county in his own State.

Correspondence OF the Cincinnati Enqulrer.D
WASHINGTON, Dec. IA, 1869.
Schuyler, take my hat. Your are
ahead. Vengeance is thine, and thou
hast it.
And here's how it came about. The
assignment of seats in the newspaper
gallery of the Senate is one Of the high
prerogatives of the Vice President. l
was about to cay it was the highest pre-
rogative vested in the V. 2. by the Con-
stitution and the laws made in pursu-
ance thereof but this would be mis-
take, he has the right to appoint page
and to suggest a door keeper. Now 10
happens that all the presiding officers
of the Senate for the past half dozen
years have given me one among the
best seats in the gallery. Even sturdy
old Ben put me in the front row. But
then came Schuyler, and in the awful
majesty of his greatness issued an order
that there must be new applications
and new assignments. Ny fate was re-
vealed to me yesterday. l was put in
the rear rank-at the foot of the class,
so to speak-where they used to put me
at school for indulging in light
artillery practice with paper wads.
The Sheboygan Gazette is ahead Of me;
and / am fanked on one side by the
Prairie Corn. Crib and on the other by
the SwampOodle Tribune. All of which
10 in the nature of punishment; for
Schuyler said he was going to make
Mack feel that he couldn't abuse him
with impunity; and gathering all his
strength for desperate effort he chang
ed me from No. 6 to No. % at one fell
swoop. Oh, Schuyler, hast thou no re-
lenting: of pity in thy small but manly
vessel of thy wrath directly on top of
my feeble head, and then extract the
bungl Such is the melancholy fact.
No. 25 is scarce within hearing range of
the Reverend Doctor Hornblower's
matutinal advice to the Almights. Still
less can /, from its remotepess, see the
great Schuyler on those piohs occasions,
as he meekly bows his head to the
invocation, clasps his hands, shuts his
eyes-and reverently contemplates
where the next newspaper puff is to
come from.
The fact that don't use the seat as
signed me more than once in three
months, makes little difference in esti-
mating the measure of Schuyler's ven
geance, OF the awful sublimity of bis
wrath. Nor does it matter much that
intend to return the assignment to
Schuyler, with request that he 60 to
not heaven, for that would bring US
both to the same place, which is the
very thing don't want.
Schuyler, again l say, take my hat.
ThOu art even witpme. Thou earliest
Nemesis in thy coat-pocket, wherewith
thou rectiiiest the unbalanced scale Of
human wrong. Greatness covers thee
as with garment. Statesmanship
clothes thee as with mantle. But oh,
couldst thou not mingle with these a
little of that sweet Christian chariig
which adOrns alike monarch like thy.
self and peasant like thy undersigned.
o tCmpora! OmOres! o Schuyler !

Summer aud Ehurm n n.

On Friday last, in tie Senate,
THURMAN, of Ohio, and SUMNER,
of Massachusetts, had o slight
Senatorial set.lo. The point at
issue was raised by SUMNER introducing
a bill giving the general Government
control of matters pertaining to the
laying of ocean cables. THURMAN
wanted the bill referred TO the Judi
ciary Committee. His reason was that
it involved a matter Of constitutional
law, REvERDY JOHNSON having ex-
pressed the opinion that a State could
allow foreign cable to be landed on
its shores without the consent of Con-
gress. SUMNER became intensely in
dignaut at the idea that any bill he
might introduce should need the re-
visogy action of the Judiciary Commit
tee, and especially that it should be
tested by the opinion of lawyer not a
member of the Senate. In reply Sena'
tor THURMAN punotured the wind-bag
Of Massachusetts pretensions very sadly.
He thought the Opinions" upon consti-
tutional law of ALEXANDER HAMILTON,
OF Judge STORY, of ROGER B. TANEY,
and countless others, though their au.
thors had never been members of the
Senate at all, were, nevertheless, worh
something. And that the Chairman Of
the committee on Foreign Affairs Of
the Sauato might be taken generally as
iufallihls on all rcry important matters,
that, nevertheless, in small things of
this kind, he need not feel it insulting
to be propped by the additional weight
of the Committee on the Judiciary
whose province it peculiarly was. at
least nomina'ly, to investigate legal
questions.
