SENATOR ROWE.S SPEEC II ON THE
SUMNER RESOLUT4 ONS III

Senator Howe's speech on the Sumner
Resolutions is a defense of ta.e Presi-
dent from the charge of having exceeded
his constitutional powers in the use Of
the navy, and the alleged crime Of men
acing Hayti with open and instant
war; and thus committing 'unauthor-
lied violence, utterly without support in
law or reason"
The fact is that not a gun has ever
been fred by the navy at Hayti or any of
its inhabitants during all the conflict :
It is very quiet and harmless fight.
1t has been as bloodless as Chinese
war. where the enemy is overcome by
the beating of gongs and not an ounce of
blood or powder is wasted. Instead of
sacrificing lives In San Domingo, we
saved them, and the presence of our Ma
Wy was in the interests of peace. A pa
per bullet is the heaviest article thrown
at Hayti.

San Domingo was pending. naval off

rested nor wearied In the performance
of his pledge to secure to every citizen OF
the Republic, white and black, the full
enJoyments of the rights guaranteed to
him by the late amendments OF the con-
stltutlOn.' AS soldier, General Grant
has fame of which the nation may feel
proud. In this capacity he rendered a
service to the nations life which CRATE
ful millions delight to honor. As chief
magistrate, he has been true to the coun-
try and the principles of the party that
placed him in power He has sacredly
kept his pledges. His conduct of the
government proves him to be just and
true man; entitled to the confidence, es-
TEEN and affection of every citizen. In
most respects his record as President is
one Of eminent success. More than two
hundred millions of the public debt paid;
more than ten millions of reduction in
annual interest; some eighty millions of
yearly reduction in taxes; the revival of
the public credit; the recommendation
and support of the Fifteenth Amend
ment; discreet and pacific foreign poll
cy the general thrift and prosperity of
the country under his Administration
these facts attest the wisdom and fdeli-
ty. with which tie President has
the duties Of his high Of
fee.
Whether the President is right or
wrong on the San Domingo question, and
whether nc shall be renominated next
year or not, are not points which we
care to discuss. He certainly is right,
and has done nobly in SO many respects
as to deserve the warmest tribute of
honor. The malignant criticisms Of the
Democratic press simply show the de-
morallzation and shameless resorts of
Democratic politicians These purely
partisan and lying judgments posterity
will rebuke and place the name of U. S.
Grant, the General and President,
among the brightest and best names of
our military and political history. We
are proud of the man and proud of his
record as a whole and, if he shall be
we intend to do what we
can to re-elect him. We say, with
all our hearts, God bless President

ON TIEE.NATEONAL DEBT,

On the 1st of Aug. 1868, the principle
Of onr liquidated National Debt amount
ed to $2,755, ,995, ,275, not counting the
interest then due thereon, which must
have raised the total to at least Twenty
eight Hundred Millions Of Dollars, wber-
of the annual interest amounted to $l51,
S32, 05l or very nearly half million dol
lars for each day in the week but Sun
day. At the close Of Mr.. Johnson s Ad-
ministration (March l, 1861, the princi-
pal had been reduced $264, 595 81, SC
that it stood little less than Twenty
five Hundred Millions of dollars bearing
an annual interest of 1926, $50, $50. That
is to say: the interest was reduced, not
merely by the amount of principal paid
off, but by the conversion Of SeVen-Thir-
ties into skies.
Since Gen. Grant became President
two years and one month agol, we have
reduced the principal by 1923, ,0S3, ,673,
and the interest by such payment, and
by funding at lower rates bonds bearing
interest, until the principal is now but
81 PCS, BIG ,231, and the annual interest
but $1l4, 356, 552. And we hope that
Mr.. Boutwells funding enterprise, now
in progress, together with the payment
of principal, will have reduced the an
nual burden Of the Debt to 100000, GOO
before Gen. Grants term expires What
nation has eyer done better than
this?
Certainly the sale of war material pur,
chased or prepared for the prosecution
OF our late Civil War has contributed to
this reduction but. on the other hand,
very large sums have been disbursed
from the Treasury in payment of sol
dier's bounties arrears Of pay, State
claims for fitting out regiments, Wal
damages, &C., Sc, SO that we have re
duced our debt by actual income not less
than Forty Millions. And this under /;
Tariff which its enemies say paralyzes
our Commerce and Industry!

THE 18th VOLUME.

With this pumber commences the
eighteenth year of THE MANITowoC
TRIBUNE, for the last two years under
the editor, and proprietorship of the
writer, who gladly takes this opportunity
to express his sincere gratitude to the
many friends who have stood by him
thus far and through whose instrnmcn-
tality the support of this paper has been
constantly increased by men who are not
only independent thinkers, but who fear
lessly exercise the right of criticising and
condemnibg the acts Of public officers,
deserving it. Thus the swindling and
robbery laid open by the County Inves-
tigating Committee; (onesided though it
may be. as well as the latest by our
present County Treasurer are looked
upon by large majority Of our citizens
with the greatest horror and utmost con-
tempt and the perpetrators Of these acts
have for ever forfeited the confidence
once placed IN their supposed integri-
ty.
The deepest sorrow we feel is, that
professed Republicans have been found
among the large number of Office holders
of opposite politics, who have thus be-
come outcasts of political fellowship
but we have learned one, almost inyalua-
bic, lesson. that of not being led any
more by erpediency in our nominations.
Rather suffer defeat, than support again
candidates in whose honesty and integ-
rity we cannot fully rely. One traitor
in our midst is more injurious than a
thousand open enemies; let US hereafter
nominate only men. who are men in
every sense Of the word, and greater and
constantly increasing success will crown
cur every effort. Ours is the party of
progress and reform and the propagation
of these truly Republican principles will
ever be our highest aim, and their sue
cess our greatest reward.

CLIPPTNG3S.

A cotempoary has few words Of ex-
cellent advice to soldiers. They are urged
not to sell or part with their dis charge
papers. The new law Of Congress Sc
modi6es the requirements Of the home
stead act that a soldier or sailor who has
served ninety days or more during the
rebellion may deduct his term of enlist
ment from the five years settlement hith-
erto required to perfect title. For In
stance, if he served three years in the
army or navy, he may require full title
to quarter section Of public land by a
residence of two years. There is evidence
that the sharks are preparing to wiring
dishonest fortunes out of the law. Sol
diers' discherge papers are in active de-
mand at the west. Either by falsely per
sonating the rightful owner, or by selling
back the papers at an advanced price,
the brokers hope to perpetGate fraud
on the government or soldier, or both.
The warning to all soldiers, sailors ol
their widows or orphans having posses
sion of such papers is to hold them firm

Sonto Domingo as a man has to the soil
who holds contract for deed of land.
If the Senate ratified the treaty we
could enforce our rights as man could
resort to the courts aud get deed of the
land after he fulfilled his part of the con-
tract. 1t was the duty of the President
to inform Hayti that we were negotiat-
ing treaty, and that there must be no
interference while it was pending.
1t was our duty also to prevent blood
shed, if possible, between neighboring
nations.
We think that no jury of impartial
men could pronounce the President gull
ty of any of the charges made or insin-
uated against him by Senator Sumner,
after reading Judge HoWe's speech. It
is logical, clear defense. complete
vindication Of the President, and con-
tains matter Of historical value, conce1 n
ing both Hayti and San Domingo.
