On January 18th these words were
uttered in the Senate Of the country
by a statesman who has won .distin-
guished reputation by his broad views
and sound arguments upon the foreign
policy of the Republic, rather than by
his legislation upon domestic affairs.
Yet Senator Sumner was also known
for his lifelong enmity to slavery upon
the soil Of America, and in his cry of
"Down with the Taxes he is only
opposing a new form of slavery, which,
If it be less hateful on account of its
inhumanity, is scarcely less BURDEN
some and oppressive than the other.
The Senator from Massachusetts, has
reason to be satisfied with his record.
For years and years the ~pro-slavery
press of his country had no name to
give him that was not one of reproach
yet he saw slavery die and his dema-
goguism acknowledged to be states
manship. After his famous Alabama
speech, England had no epithet too
savage to bestow upon him; yet to-day

reaching, grasping the certainties Of
the future Of his country with nc
doubtful hold; and in his speech
In the Senate OH the 18th he showed
that he understood the great burden
under which the nation now labors,
"War taxes should not be peace

life bends under the load. In the sui
cidal policy of the Administration tc
pay off the national debt at so many
dollars per second, Mr.. Sumner pour;
the following hot shot: at is beau
tiful, but it is not business. Unques'
tionably, business requires that we
should meet existing obligations &c
corling to their letter and spirit buI
it does not require payment In adj
vance, nor payment Of obligations rest
ing upon others. To do this is beau
tihil, but beyond the line Of business
In concluding this remarkably states
manlike speech, Senator Summer said
"The country will breathe freer, bust
ness will be more elastic, life will b.
easier, as the assurance goes forth thai
no heavy taxation shall be continued
in order to pay the debt in clever
years, as now proposed, nor in fifteci

ceases to exist"

ANOTHER MUpDIE.-ln Sacramento,
on Wednesday, Robert Robinson, of
the counsel for the Central Pacific
Railroad, served notice on the Califor-

Use of the California Pacific Railroad,

TuE Adjutant General Of Maryland,

Of the French, suggests a new militia
law which shall provide for three hon
orable orders-"The Order of Merit
1.-The Order of Perfection" and "The
Legion of Honor" 1t is further sug-
Ses,ed that the proposed new law
should provide certificates Of service
for one, three, and five years, and
should exempt the holders thereof from
Jury duty for three, five, and ten years,

made to go further: "Any man who

THE INTERRUPTION OF TIE TEI.E-
oRAPH.-The storm by which the work
ing of the overland telegraph Is now
interrupted Is the most extraordinary
ever experienced In the section where
its effect has been felt. In places be-
tween Corinne and Cheyenne the snow
has drifted % rs to cover the track OF
the Union Pacific Railroad and render
it impossible for trains for three days,
and the weight Of snow driven against
the telegraph poles has Frustrated
them in many places. Where the snow
pillow can be used the snow is easily
removed from the track, but in the
deep cuts it must be shOveled Out-a
very slow process; but the work is
kept up diligently, and communication
by rail will soon be restored, and then
the repairing Of the telegraph is an
easy matter. In the meantime corps OF
repairers are ut work OIL the telegraph
lines, with the prospect Of anticipating
the railroad in making the connection.

dispatch from COrinne announces that
the snow blockade has been removed,
and q train has made the connection ;
the telegraph wires are expected to be
working all right to-day.-S. +. Alta,
