Negro Slavery aud Foreign Labor the
Cause Of cur Prosperity.

A few days since, Senator Sprague,
of Rhode Island, made a speech in
the Z. s. Senate in which he dealt out
to his political friends some whole
some but unpaIatahle truths. He
said:
He was not one of those who wor-
shipped the political system. trans
mitted to US by Our fathers or attribu-
ted to it our great material growth.
The mainsprings Of our prosperity
had been slavery and foreign emigra-
ton the former had stimulated the
growth of cotton and made il an
American monopoly, and so had built
up the manufacturing and CONNER
cial Interests Of the North, and these
had in turn Invited foreign emigra-
ton. The politicians had, of course,
something to do with the promotion
of each Of these great interests; but
all they had accomplished, after all,
was the building up Of two great
powers for mutual destruction. The
politicians had never been willing to
let the people know the true state of
the country. They had failed to warn
them OF the approach Of the late war,
and had plunged them into it UMPIRE
pared. The politicians still adhered
to the same blind policy, but he had
already done something TO let the
people know the true condition of the
country, and he meant to do more.
The object of the majority In Con-
gress seemed to be rather to perpetu-
ate the existence of party than to
promote the welfare Of the people,
but no party could have his support
which did not make the prosperity
and contenment of the people Its
chief object. A party which failed in
this, failed In the great purpose for
which alone it had q right to exist.
In conclusion, he said ne was in favor
of repeating the Tenure OF Office act IN
any case, because If he had to SUBJ
ject to himself to any tyranny he pre-
ferred the tyranny Of one man with
some humanity in him, and occupy
ing a responsible position to that of
an irresponsible body like the Senate.

EMBARRAssMENT OF THE Al MINIS
TRATI0N on CUBAN AFFAIRS.
There Is reason to believe that the
Administration finds the Cuban cues.
tion somewhat embarrassing. Al
though not unwilling to express
syDphathy with the revolutionary
cause, our outstanding difficulties
will add TO the necessity for proceed
ing with caution. There is conse-
quently, a strong disposition to post
pone action for the present.
The House committee ON Foreign
Affairs this morning instructed Gen,
eral Banks to report the Joint resOlu-
ton declaring the sympathy of the
american people with the Cubans in
their efforts to secure their independ-
ence, and Diedging support to Presi-
dent Grant whenever he may deem il
expedieut to recognize their independ-
ence. But one member (Mr. Willard)
disSented.
Mr.. Washburne was before this
committee undergoing an examina-
tlon about the trouble of the Ameri-
can Legation In Paraguay. The Iu-
vestigation ofthis subject will be con-
tinued tomorrow.
The House Pacific Railroad Com.
mittee heard an argument an hour

OF the Central Pacific as to its proper
point of junction with the Union Pa

WASHINGTON, March 81, 1869,
SRSATE-Ths entire morning hour
was occupied in discussing the House
resolution for an adjournment on the
9th of April, without coming to any
conclusion. The report of the COM
mittee of Conference on the Tenure-of
office Bill was laid before the Senate
and adopted by a strict party vote,
after a refusal to lay on the table and
print. 1t provides hat the House re-
eede from It's disagreement to the Sem
ate bill, in consideration ofWhich both
Houses agrees to amend the Senate
bill. striking out the clause which
provides hat where the removal of
an atticer is made during recess, If the
successor OF such officer shall not be
confirmed at the next succeeding ses
sion of the Senate, the previous in
cumbent shall be reinstated. SThe a.
mendment agreed upon by the Con-
ference gives the Presldent power to
make removals during recess, and he
must send to the Senate, within thir-
ty days after its next meeting, the
names of all appointments made dur
ing recess, and ifany such are not con-
Armed, then the President shall make
ether nominations as soon as possible.
HoUsE-A resolution was adopted
iDstructing the Committee OIL Public
Lands to inquire into the ex~pediency
OF counting the year served in the
army as a part of the five years requir-
ed to pre-empt 4 homestead; also, res
olutions to enforce the direct tax on
the late rebel Statee, and inquiring
into the expediency of furnishing
Government aid to an exhibition OF
Industry, in New York, in 1876. The
report of the Conference Committee
on the Ienure-of Office bill was pre-
sented and adopted under pressure of
the previous question by a vote ot106
to 81. Among them introduced was
one providing for q general system
for the removal of POLITICAL dissabili-
ties,
THURSDAY, April 1-Senate-sioint
resolution was passed, requiring ev-
cry applicant for the removal of poll
ticIal disabilities to make a sworn
statement of the grounds, on which
such appication-ts based. The bill for
the construction of a railroad bridge
over the Ohio River at Paducah pass
ed; also the bill to authorize the pur-
chase of lands from the Usage Indians
by actual settlers. The balance of the
day, after the expiration Of the morn
ing hour, was devoted to tho Indian
Appropriation bill
House-A resolution looking to the
revision OF the tariff laws was adopted
Mr.. BUTLER's bill, for the reconstruc-
ton Of Mississippi, was postponed I'M
til the next session by 103years to 90

al nature was accomplished in either
house.

Geological Survey BIN.

The House bill providing for a geo.
logical survey Of the State passed the
House by 60 yeas to 10 nays. 1t pro-
yides for 3 survey of the entire State,
commencing next June. and to be
completed in three years, by a Chief
Geolegist, salary $1,000, and not more
than three Assistants, at I,sOO each /;
and not more than $500 for chemicals,
aud 5000 a q contingent fund. The
important thing is to empty compe-
tent men for these positions. The
yearly expenditure allowed is over
$4,000. For many years each Gen
eral Assembly has been importuned
to pass this measure, and 1t seems has
at last been dragooned into it. We
hope it will repay the expense. We
wish the Morgan raid measure recent
ly passed, would make no heavier
draw on the Treasury of the State.

GrRnt's Ignorance.

Treasury, ignorant Of the law which
prohibited the class to which the APP
pointee beloHgs; BE sent q message
asking for the repeal Of the law. ad-
dressed to the Senate, In the belief
that the Senate could repeal without
the concurrence Of the House. He
attempted to revoke pardons granted
by his predecessors, and his own At
torney General advises him that he
can do no such thing and that the
courts will discharge the prisoners on
Ra6eds Corpus, Notwithstanding the
revocation. Inrepeated instances he
has appointed Postmasters not resi-
dent of the places In which the Post
Onces are located, and therefore ineli-
gIble. Ignorance of this sort was new
err before displayed. Even Lincoln
had men about him who flor their
own safety had studied the statutes.
Law is in the way OF Mr.. Grant, and
1t would be a great relief to him cod
he rule by orders.

The Negro Amepdmsnt,

Called the XIV Amendment to the
Constitution of the United States was
voted on by the General Assembly of
Ohio, last week, and voted down by
a strict party vote-the Republican
members favsrlRg the negro equality
affair and the Democrats opposing.
Does not this show the color OF the
animal-the radical animals
Does not this vote also show that the
radicals in the Legislature of Ohio are
determined TO force negro suffrage up
on the people Of this State notwith'
standing their decided expression up
on the question at the October cleo
ton, 1857?
BY the way, can the Congress le'
gally submit the question Of abolish
ing the Constitution ofOhio, or a part
OF it: Is not this what they are do
ing in this Amendment?

Post Office Matters.

q dearth of other victims guilty Of
capital sins against Judge Ambler.-
The time of Mr.. Sch6rtZeT, Postmas-
ter at Massiilon, does not expire for

being exercised to induce a change.

We opine, however, that If neigh

that Judge Amber would not have
dared to demand his removal. I
