resistable as that most delightful and healthy

enabled, long after they have passed the merid

purity of their compilations, and where Nature
has denied the superlative attraction, the Balm
fully compensates for her deficiencies.

Congress soliciting or recommending appoint

cradle debate ensuing on making this the spec

lard withdrew the bill relative to clerks of
committees and substituted this one instead
for discussion in the morning hour.
MIR. Butler of Mass. offered an amendment
that all applications for office be placed in the
hands of the claim agents and middlemen
around the Capitol.
The morning hour having expired the bill
went over and the House went into Committee
of Whole on the diplomatic appropriation bill.
Mr.. Summer of Md, member of Committee
on Appropriations, who hand charge of the bill,
made an hours speech in which he touched on
various subjects, defending the Postmaster
Generals course, and in regard to Catacazy i'm
broglio sustaining the State department and adj
ministration, and the danger oftcomplicatons
with England, Russia and SPAIN He avowed
himself ready to vote fer bill for the recogni-
ton of Cuban independence and for exacting
satisfaction from Spain for various outrages on
American citizens
Speaking of complications with Great Brit
ain, Mr.. Swan said war with her had no terrors
for him. American commerce was wiped out,
gone, hopelessly gone. England had all or near
ly all our carrying trade and what had we to
fear from maratime war? Amy war with
foreign power must be confined to the sea. LII
England should undertake such an absurdity as
a land invasion of this country, 100000 men
could be concentrated in short time at any
| given point The idea therefore of an invasion
was absurd. What are we to fear from Eng
land in maritime war? We should take a
dozen of her vessels where she could not find
one of ours.
AS financial measure, affecting the COM
mercial agricultural and manufacturing inter-
ests of the nation, it is the best thing that
could happen for the country should there be
war with Great Britain. Still he deprecated
such war. He was not here to-day to advo-
cate it. How the complications with Great
Britain were going to end he could not tell.
He believed they were more serious than was
supposed. He criticised the composition of the
American Commission at Genevra, referring
especially to Bancroft Davis as clerk or subor-
dinate of the State Department, instead of the
Commission being composed of men of the
highest ability and reputation. He understood
that it was Bancroft Davis who presented the
Objectionable claims whice had led to the exist
ing complications He would support bill
forIlthe construction of twenty iron-clads and
would introduce such a bill if no one else did,
War with Great Britain would be a mere cir
cumstance compared with the magnitude of the
late civil war.
