20 THE WORCESTER DAILY SPY
From Washington.
ESPECIAL DISPATCH TO THE WORCESTER SPY


WASHINGTON, D. c., April 10.
ADJOURNMENT.
The day of final adjournment is still uncer-
tain. Both the conference reports are in a bad
way, and of course congress will not adjourn
till they are satisfactorily settled.
GEN. BUTLER DISAPPOINTED.
Gen. Butler was much disappointed this morn
ing on his failure to get in his personal explana
ton. He was fully prepared with half hours
speech on Garrett Davis, but Mr.. Beck promptly
objected The newspapers had advertised the
speech for a week, and a dozen southern demo-
Gratis have been lying in wait for it several days
THE HOUSE.
The house meets at half-past ten o'clock, to
take up the conference report on the kuklux
bill, and it will be debated for some time, and
the expectation tonight is that the house will
refuse to accept the report, and will ask for an
other conference committee. A dozen republic
cans in the house insist on striking out the Sec
ton relating to jurors, and the Sherman section.
MIsCHIEvoUs EDITORIALS
The Republican, morning paper published
here, continues to publish, from day to day,
severe criticisms on Messrs. Sumner, Schurz,
Morrill,, and other senatorial opponents of San
Domingo annexation. This morning it has a
remarkable editorial on Senator Fenton, in
which it insinuates that he had something to do
with the treachery of Winans of the New York
legislature. These articles are making mischief
in the republican party, for many people sup
pose they are instigated by the president; but
this is not only untrue, but he condemns them,
as do nearly all the republican members of con-
gress.
DELAY.
The kuklux bill met with unexpected delay in
the senate. The house conferees gave way in
an unaccountable manner to the senate on
eyerything, and it was supposed that, with such
a victory, the senate would pass the bill in
stanter, and that the only trouble would be in
the house. Instead of that those senators origi-
nally opposed to the bill seized on the fresh OPP
portunity offered to record their objections.
Mr.. Sherman eDdeavored to support his add-
tonal section. The delay caused much discom-
fort, for large number of members had made
all their arrangements for returning home to-
night, even to the purchase of their sleeping car
tickets. SAM WELLER.

TAX ON GROSS RECEIPTS OF EXPRESS
COMPANIES.
Judge Ruyfont made an elaborate
before the Commissioner of
Internal Revenue yesterday in behalf
of loyal express companies. He re-
viewed at length the internal revenue
laws applicable to express companies,
and took the ground that the cOmpa-
nies in question did not come within
the meaning of said laws, and were
therefore not liable to tax on their
gross receipts.

His Speech Yesterday at Augusta, ee0rgIa
His Sublime Faith ia Gods Justice.

AUGUSTA, GA, May 26.-J ehersOn
Davis arrived last evening, when he
was serenaded at the Planters House,
aud to-day held a reception. Mayor
Estes rendered the hOspitaGties Ol the
city, and in response to- repeated calls
and cheers, Mr.. Davis made his ap-
pearance on the balcony of the hotel
where he Wss introduced by Henry
W. HIlgard.
Mr.. Davis said he recognized pecu-
liar claims which Georgia had upon
him and himself upon Georgia, for in
the ancient city Of Augusta his father
had identified himself with the revO-
lutiOnary struggle for liberty. Ii the
late struggle for principle and COnsti-
tutiOnal liberty had been crime, it was
his misfortune, for which he had
fully suffered. He was aware Of the
eagerness with which every word he
might utter was watched for
and misinterpTeted. He would
be silent, not from apprehensiOns iu-
dividUally, but as if his Utterances
were made to affect the interest Of the
Southern people. He did not cOncede
that the principles Of the Lost
Cause" were dead, or that truth should
remain crushed. He cOunselIed fOrti-
tude and patience, believing that the
South could afford TO be patient under
her wrongs till the return Of Justice
has achieved the rights of every free
man, was the period to which he con-
fidently looked. With his feelings, he
was fearful to trust himself to speak,
because he cOuld not think one thing
and speak another. BE looked for
ward, however, to the time when he
might with prOpriety speak to his
fellow citizens as his heart moved
him, and bade them farewell.

WE witness in Paris the agony Of a
nation in convulsive decadence, ard
it's not the first time that a good
cause has been dishonOred by crimes
and atrocities from the bare contem-
plation of which mankind have
turned away IN horror and dismay.
Municipal emancipation, or cOmmu-
nism of the middle ages, the rise Of
parliamentary or representative gov
ernme-t, religious reformation in the
sixteenth century and the French
revolution were all alike, however
approved in purpose or philosophy,
characterized by most frightful ex-
cazses. Base elements uuderlie the
surface Of all human societies, and
when violence and revolution reign
the filth at the bottom of the deep
floats and dances in the sunlight upon
the vary crests Of the heaving billows.
Everywhere the South attests the sue
cess with which nature thus illustrates
moral, political and social facts. Inau
great revolutions, however, save in
this Of France, as conducted by the
Communists, there have ever been
found men Of firm and elevated char
scter, who have Immediately sepa-
rated their cause from that Of
scoundrels and idiots-Classes which
In Paris have so fatally compromised
reuubIicanism in Europe. Among su
the active parfissns Of the Commune,
there is not ons whose name and
history give the guaranty Of lofty
znd practical convictions CT Of
philosophy which statesmanship may
adopt. We have from the C0mmun-
ats only vague words and unattain-
able aspirations, and anger and foul
partisan ranc0r which, shaLlefully
enough, even in this country, have
been suffered to affect the social rela-
lions Of men. Unhsppily for Europe,
and even for this country to the eL-
tent that American Republicanism is
confounded with the insanity of the
Partisan rabble, this Parisian Com
munism IS deemed an Illustration Of
that political freedom which German
and French patriots alike would en-
throne in all climes and countries.
We had hoped, until such fearful
crimes were committed in the name Of
liberty, tslat the Commune was the
germ from which would spring a
mighty tree, whose branches, growing
steadily in all directions, would finally
overspread al Europe. But the 6Taam
Of Republicanism in the Old World is
dissipsted by the horrors r1eit5d by
Islsgrsphic dispatches, and despOtism
must De deemed essential by patriot
Is IN everywhere to the security Of per-
soE,. property and liberty in Europe.
The C0mUuns has welded firmly the
zbacl les with which mouarchs through
count ess ages have fettersd the
bodies and souls Of the people.
Civilization, in the destruction Of Par
isian te mples Of art, glor7 and learn
ing, has lost much, ous the
cause Of human liberty infinitely
more. The Commune has proven as
fatal to popular rights in Europe es
Grant and KU-KluX acts to hu5eGS
corpus and human progress and Local
freedom in America.
