that while have made up my MAD to
oppose the provision for the sale of the
bonds at less than par. that believe it is
best to take up this bill and put it in the

lzlng the Governor to repudiate fraudu.
lent vouchers. That bill has not been re-
ported back, or if reported has not been
taken up. But We must take some stems
to prevent thereceipt of these fraudulent
vouchers. think the best wav we can do
this is to pass so much of this bill at least
as prevents the receipt of warrants by the
tax collectors. We can do that if we can
not do the other, and We can amend the
bill in such way that the Governor will
approve it.
Mr.. Braughn: am in favor OF this prin.
ciple, by which the vast sea of warrants
and floating certificates of Indebtedness o.
the State will be funded, and, while am
in favor of passing some law by which
nothing but currency will be receivable
for taxes, l at the same time am unpre
pared at this moment to take up at this
moment, bill which proposes to issue
three million dollars worth of bonds, fol
which the faith of the State of Louisiana
will be bound. am in favor of the gen
eral provisions of the bill, but the simple
fact will be, that the issuance of this large
J amount of bonds, should necessarily in.

Majority Report ON the SeuIf-- FindIay
Case.

Mr.. Brow n, on behalf ofthe majority
Of the committee in the case of Scuil
vs. FindIay, presented the following
report:
THE Twentieth Senatorial district
is composed of the counties Of SoIner-
set. Bedford and Fulton, and at the
election for said district for Senator on
the 18th day Of OcrOber, A. D., 1869,
Hiram FindIay received 5,925 votes,
and Edward Scull received :, 1902 votes,
therefore Hiram Findlay, having %
majority, was accorded a seat i'll the
Senate. The election is contested by
Edward Scull, on the ground of fraud
and Illegal voting, claiming that he,
aud not the sitting member, is entitled
to the seat.
Your committee was drawn on the
18th day of January last, and sworn 10
try the matter of the petition, and to
give true judgment thereon according
10 the evidence. They met on the
same day and organized, and have met
daily since. as required by law.
1.-The contestant was given the most
ample opportunity to prove the charges
of fraud alleged in the petition, accord
ing 10 the rules Of evidence, and the
whole force and power Of the State was
rendered him to compel the attendance
of witnesses for this purpose. The
committee offered TO go 10 JohnStown
or elsewhere within the Common
wealth, if required by him, to hear evi.
dence of fraud or of an undue election,
but the contestant did not produce any
witnesses to make out the allegations
OF fraud, or that the election was un-
due.
"Your committee examined a num-
Der of witnesses on the charge Of illegal
voting, and report that the contestant
made out two illegal votes as having
been cast for the sitting member in the
county of Fulton.
1.-The sitting member declined to
produce witnesses to sustain the speci
fications Of Illegal voting for the con-
testant, as set forth in his answer, be-
cause the contestant failed to sustain
the charges and allegations in the petit
tion, and On the grounds of economy
to the State.
"Your committee have therefore
found the following:
Returns Of election show
that Hiram FindIay re-
eeiVed 1926 votes.
From this deduct illegal
votes cast for him in
Fulton county votes.
Total 1923 votes.
Returns of election show
that Edward Scull re-
ceiyed 5,902 votes.
Majority for Findlay q votes.
"Your committee report that Hiram
Findlay, having received a clear and
legal majority of u votes for Senator
In said district, is therefore entitled to
the seat. II. s. BROWN.

On behalf of the minority, Mr..

The resolutions adopted BY Cess-
mas little ring on Tuesday night Of last
week, declare among other things,
THAT the Republicans Of Bedford
County. i'm Mass Meeting assembled,
do hereby express their hearty appro-
val Of the administration Of General
Grant and point with pride to the
$50. .0aD0. 900 Of the public debt paid in
ten months, as the best proof Of his
faithfulness to the party pledges Of g
c0aomy, and as the most triumphant
refutatfoR Of the copperhead charges Of
extravaganza. F"
This boast Of the supporters Of
Grants administration, has been met
50 often and has been so complete
~ contradicted, that We had thought
no one could be found 50 brazen as to
revamp il. The public debt has not
been diminished. It is greater to-day
than IT was one year ago. True it is
that some eighty millions of bonds
have been taken up by Secretary
Boutwell,, ,baa they hare not been cGaeelled
and there is no assurance th2.t they will
not be re-issued. In yziaking up the
statement by wbie}. the secretary at
tempts to show decrease Of the pub
lie debt, Ire redeemed yl9noEs are st

would be thought of an assignee who
you'd claim shat the promissory notes
given by the assignor and redeemed
by him before the assignment was
made must De considered as assets p
He would be laughed out Of court as
the shalIowest Of inposters.
The trickery 6y which Boutwell, &
Co. are attempting 20 deceive the peo-
piefn regard 20 the pablo debt, is e
quaIly ridiculcus and contemplate.

The Findlay -Scull contested election
case, involving the right to theseat in
the Senate for the Twentieth District,
was finally decided last week in
favor Of Mr. Findlay, the sitting Sena-
tor. The report of the majority of the
comraittee drawn to try the case,
which declares Mr. Findlay entitled
to the seat, Is signed by Senators
Brown, Randall. Lowry and Iinder-
man, Senators Brooke, Osterhont and
Alien, although bound to eonceed the
fact that the investigation shows the
election Of Findlay, intend presenting
a minority report. Their object is,
doubtless, TO oexcept to some of the ru-
liDgs of the mmittee, which they re-
sisted at the tine they were made.
The confirmation of Mr.. Findlay's
right to the seat, is signal triumph Of
justice and fair-dealing over triekery
and artifice. We have frequently ex-
onorated Mr.. Scull from that pecu-
liar blame which attaches to the at
tempts OF designing politicians to null
fy, by special pleading Or the strain
ing of the law, the deliberately ex-
pressed will Of the people. We still be-
lieve that he was forced into this con-
test by certain parties who expected to
profit politically and peeuniarily by
his resignation of the Federal Office
now held by him, which would, Of
course have followed his admission to
a seat in the Senate.
The defeat of the foul intrigue of
which this case was the groundwork,
affords an occasion for special rejoic-
ing. The honest people of the Six
teenth Congressional District particu-
larry will be gratified to know that
John Cessna viii not have it in his
power to barter the Office ofAssessOr OF
Internal Revenue for that District for
votes and influence to secure his re-
election to Congress.
We cannot leave this subject without
according to the committee before
whom this case was tried, the praise
so justly due its members. Especially
do we feel it our duty to commend the
dignified impartiality with which
Senator Lowry acted throughout the
the investigation. Although an ex-
treIne radical in politics, he resisted
with Roman frmness every attempt
made by the counsel Of Mr.. SculI to
take unfair advantage, whist at the
same time, he insisted with equal de-
termination, that the contestant must
be allowed every opportunity afforded
by the law to make good his allegations.
To the independent and impartial at
titude occupied by Senator Lowry the
people Of Pennsylvania are largely in
debted for the beginning Of a whole
some reform in the trial Of contested
election cases. The Scull- Findlay
case is the first in the history of the
last ten legislatures in which a COM
mittee containing a radical majority
decided in favor Of democrat.-Pa

In the House Of Representatives, the
bill to prohibit polygamy in Utah was

hour. The House then went into COM
mittee on the Legislative Appropria-
ton bill. An amendment cutting
down the extravagant expense for pri-
vate secretaries to the President was
voted down. Mr.. Stiles showed that
the actual expenses ofthe White House
were $27 900 more under Grant than
they were the last year under johnson.
The committee made progress through
two pages of the bill. but rejected all
amendments reducing the items under
consideration.

WASHINGTON Feb. Is.

In the Senate yesterday. Mr.. Car
penter reported from the Judiciary
Committee bill to increase the salary
Of the Chief-Justice to $4,000 per an
mum, and of the ASSOCIATE Justices to
10000 each. Mr.. Morton introduced
a fresh bill ''to enforce the fifteenth a.
mendment." The Mississippi admis-
sion bill coming up in order, Mr..
Chandler moved to postpone. The
vote was "A to "A, tie. and the Presi-
dent Of the Senate casting his in the
negative, the bill was considered. Mr..
Carpenter made strong speech against
MOrton's outrageous doctrine that
Congress has right to intervene in the
internal affairs of a State after its adj
mission. He said that such PROPOSE
ton was enough TO "make Webster
turn IN his grave" Mr. Morton, in re-
sponse, charged that Mr.. Carpenter was
advocating the exploded heresy of State
rights, and that the enuneiation Of his O.
pinIon was enough 10 make the dry
bones of Calhoun rattle with joy"
Withoutdisposing Of the bill the Senate
went into executive session. In the
house Of Representative Mr.. Dawes in
troduced theNew York andJersey shore

Sc tcarpet baggerj bill to provide
homes for the homeless in the late

claring it to be the opinion of the
House that the business interests of
the country require an increase in
the volume of circulating currency,
and instructing the committee on
Banking Currency to report as soon as
possible a bill increasing the currency
20 the amount of at least so, 900, 900.
