Congress-Banoombe in tho Scnate-The
The feature Of the Senate yesterday was
new dish Of "hash" from the famous Chandler.
His resolution to negotiate for the annexation
of Winnipeg was called up and thus occasioned
his speech. From this proposition, in itself
peaceable enough, he turned his argument to
one in favor of whipping out the entire New
Dominion at once, as the first cause, and then
serving up Great Britain as dessert, for no
other reason apparently than that half the ex-
pense of our late civil difficulty is attributable
to the action Of these countries. He was will
ing to accept Winnipeg as an instalment Of the
interest on the sum due us, but would Insist
upon all the rest Of the New Dominion as the
principal. If England gave us these
well and good, we would forgive the
debt; but If not then we would pro-
ceed Immediately to compulsion. The
question called up some general discussion,
in which it was stated by other Senator'S that
the right of passage through the Saut st.
Marie Canal would not and ought not to be
granted to the British expedition. Finally,
the resolution was referred to the Committee
on Foreign Relations Among number of
minor bills passed was one repeating the veri-
table and only last statute relating to slaves
that prohibiting the importation OF colored
persons into certain States" Mr.. Sumner has
been poring over all the old statutes purposely
to find this last one, and as we have had
others that purported to be the last wiped out
at intervals ever since the emancipation pro-
clamation, we are glad to see the veritable
one disposed Of Another important bill,
! passed in a moment of business frenzy, pro-
vides for the removal of disabilities, which, 1t
is claimed, will enable half a million exrebels
| to hold fed eral Office.
The usual fund of amusement appeared to
have deserted the House yesterday. To bt
sure Butler was present, but Cox was away
with the Ohio delegation, and besides the
House itself was exhausted with the uproariou'
humor of the two days previous and tool
refuge in the soothing details Of the Tariff
bill. A few hours dabbling with scrap iron
however, awoke the risibilities of the volatile
members, and at the evening session they wer
as iolly as the Board of Brokers. 1t happene'
that a quorum was not present on the frs
call, and the absentees being hunted up tn
House amused itself with hearing their ex
cuses. Some of them were sick-notably Cox
who had come back from the Ohio excursion
others were visiting their church pastors an
one was away with new daughter. Al
L lLnv.v
bers who had no such excuses, but were-a
stated-"making money somewhere" wer
fined ten dollars.

IT Is REPORTED by private despatch that
the Colombian Congress has rejected the Da-
rien Canal Treaty. We are doubtful Of these

THE DESTRUCTION OF MANHATTAN ISLAND
by the appropriation of its grand highway to
underground railroad purposes excites the
lively admiration Of rival commercial cities.
Boston and Philadelphia could afford to appro-

SUPERINTENDENT JoURpAN's REFORMS are
stirring up the whole Police Department very
thoroughly, as we are glad to see. Such an
Institution as the police is apt to run into
routine and ineficiency in ten years, and new

crustations and make the ''little arrangements"

regular thing.

ninety days were 1t not for its endorsement OF
the national bank notes. But the banks are
not prepared, and they manifest no disposition
to prepare themselves, for an honest resump-
ton OF specie payments. Should the govern
ment resume under such circumstances and
banks refuse to do 80 the effect would be to
throw the redemption of all the circulating
notes of the banks so refusing upon the Trea-
sury. Such load at such time would
probably be too heavy for the government to
carry, and relapse would follow. So you see
the banks have it in their power to prevent
resumption" Without going into the question
as to whether specie payments could be brought
about under any circumstances In ninety days,
or if that would be desirable, even should the
government have the power to force resnmp-
ton. we are convinced, as we have frequently
said, that the national banks do not desire
specie payments and will be the greatest OBJ
| stacle to resumption. Why should they desire
! it? They make far more by paper circula-
ton alone. Specie in their vaults would be
dead capital, while the currency costs them
nothing and Is always bringing in profit.
Nor should it be forgotten that in case OF
great financial crisis or Of any great disturb
ance by war or otherwise, when there might
be general crash among the banks, or secu-
rites become greatly deprecated, the govern
ment and people might have to sustain a
frightful loss; for the Treasury is bound to
, redeem the notes Of the national banks under
all and any circumstances. This league oi

There is no mistaking the
position of parties. The Rad
ical party has never been so
much on the defensive as at the
present time, while the Demo.
cratic party has assumed the
offensive and is carrying the
war into Africa. The press,
the meetings and the speakers
of the Democratic party, all
speak the same language. In
all parts of the country the
Radical party is arraigned for
it's sins of omission and com
mission, and such an indict-
ment preferred against its lead
ers as must convict them at the
coming elections. Not a Dem
ocratic convention is held at
which the offensive is not
taken, and the party in power

THE DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER
F0 THE
CAMP -AIGN-

The political campaign is now open and is of
such Importance that every voter should be
fully informed and posted as to the issues in
volved in the contest between the Democracy
and their Radical opponents. In order that all
may be able to have paper published in the
interest of the Farmers and Working Men, we
will issue the DEMOCRATIC ENQUIRER for the
Campaign at such reduced rates as to put it In
the reach of the poorest man in the county-so
that none need 90 soithout paper.
We will send the ENQUIRER to any person for
three months at the following rates, cash In adj
vdnce:
One copy, (thrce months). ...,.,........... 50 25
Ten copies, (three mOnths) and one copy
for six months to getter up of club. 2 30
Twenty copies, (thrce mOnths) and enc
copy for one year to getter up OF club. 90
AS these figures will barely cover expenses,
we hope our friends all over the county viii
take tho matter in hand at once and get up
clubs, and put the ENQUIRER in the hands of
every voterin Vinton County, as well us in the
hands of voters in other counties, of whatever
party.
To those who are too poor to pay for the paper
during the Campaign, we will send free.
The ENQUIRER is an exponent of the doctrine
of sell-government the rights Of the people;
favors the repeal of infamous stamp and reve-
nue. laws; favOrs taxing thebOnds; opposed to
the importation of cheap Niger and Chinese
labor, and favOrs the rights Of our laboring men
twill advocate the ascendency ofthe Demo-
cratic party topower as the only means where
by the country can be again ressored to that
prosperity that only awaits just ruling and the
supremacy of popular selfgOvernment.

THE other day we heard poor
Radical farmer, who works hard
day after day, complaining to a
small crowd of Democrats about the
hard times. We pitied him, al
though he deserves not even the
least sympathy. He voted for and
helped bring about these hard times,
and should notcomplain. We would,
however, advise him to continue
paying the tax on tea, coffee, salt,
sugar, spice, rice, tobacco, and the
interest on the bonds, and go naked,
and vote the bondholders ticket. If
he does that he will get enough of
Radicaliso soon.

The Reason.

The reason why President
Grant is against recognizing
Cuban independence is that he
owns one hundred thousand
dollars worth of Government
bonds, which would not be de.
preciated in value by a war
with Spain. 1t is not strange
then that he should come out
so fatfooted against the Cubans,
and in favor of their oppress-
ors. If Grant has no particular
state sagacity, he at least knows
on which side his, and his
friends bread is buttered.

More Aboriginal Relics.


On Saturday last we were
shown by our friend, Hiram
Armitage, another lot of an
cient relics, consisting of a per-
feet human skull, a lot of bones,
and two pieces of an oven.-
The skull was evidently not
that Of a white man, and the
pieces of oven, one of which
still had an ear attached to it,
were supposed to be a compo-
sition of clam shells and clay,
were as light as wood, although
perfectly preserved, and strong
ly resembled the common iron
utensil. These relics were ex-
humed by the workmen on the
G. & H. V. r. r., at the gray.
Ell pit a few miles above this
village, and we were told by
two of the workmen that large
quantities of bones had been
thrown out by them. This is
doubtless another of those mys-
terious burial mounds, which
were thrown up all over this
country by that unknown race
of people who preceded the
Indians in their occupancy Of
the hills and valleys hereabouts,
