of our National relations and the TiSking of
our internal harmony; the fragrant and
confessed violation of law by the War De-
partment and the mysterious disappearance
of large sums Of money were all facts and
circumstances that went to show that there
was ground for suspicion and investigation,
and Senators on the other side knew it
and felt it keenly, as was shown by their
attempts to divert the Senate and country
from the true question, by charging those
who urge this lejOlutiun with acting as
French agents and with want of patriot
ism. These charges were tlinsy and alb
Surd. 1t was the duty of the government
to investigate this matter, and if the wrongs
charged on the Executive Department have
been committed, 1t was the duty of the Le-
gislative Department of the government tn
frankly and boldly disavow them: that was
the only course worthy of the American
Republic, and therefore he was not afraid
to discuss these matters in the Senate and
denounce wrong IN them, for he remem-
bered that Golden and Bright, when fbev
warned the British Parliament of the con-
sequences of its conduct during the re-
bellion were far better patriots than those
who decried them for it.
Mr.. Schurz then spoke of the amend
ment offered by Conkling ordering the
committee to enquire whether any Senator
or American citizen had been in collision
with any foreign agent or spy, etc., and said
it was subject of rather painful charac-
ter. lie regretted the Senator had intro
duced that amendment, for his own sake.
He reminded him that spies were only used
in time ofwar and suggested that be should

discovered as a French agent the sales were
not postponed in order TO give him an OPP
portunity to make arrangements with other

the tact, but would ask every fair-minded
man whether suspicion did not lie dread

what he assumed to be the fact that Rich

merely sending in his bid accompanied by
twenty per cent. of the purchase money.
The record showed, however, that the bu-

Mr.. Morton made reply, in the course
of which he said the object of the Senator
from Missouri was to separate the Germans
from the Republican party, and from the
native citizens, in order to make them the
balance of power. The Senator was at
tempting to revive Know Nothingism in its
worst form.
Mr.. SchurZ said no man in the country
had more earnestly or steadily opposed the
formation of any political organization
based on separate nationalities.
Mr.. Morton said that he must judge the
Senator by his acts, and that he was re-
sponsible for the election of his Democratic
colleague to the Senate. Blair was Schurzs
political offspring. (Laughter.)
Mr.. Blair said he had been elected to the
Senate not by his colleague but by the peo-
pie of Missouri. His colleague, however,
had endeavOred to give the people an oppor-
tunity to have fair election and of course
Senator Morton did not like that.
Mr.. Morton said that was pretense, but
the election of Mr.. Blair was the result of
coalition of certain Republicans with Dem
ocrats and that coalition had not yet been
dissolved.
Mr.. Morton then charged that Mr.. Schurz
was

had no right to stay In it and attempt to |

How to live Long.

They live longest as class, who lead
calm and even lives, mentally and ply
sically, who are most exempt from the
turmoils and shocks and strains that are
incident to human existence, and who are
assured of to morrow's bread. There is
no one thing which has such direct in.
Auence in promoting longevity as an as
surance. felt to be well grounded, of a
comfortable provision for life, for all the
ordinary wants of our station. Not long

ninety-two years he had no anxiety for
to. morrow's bread be had 10 quarters

wife and children would be turned into
the street from the doors of the elegant
brown mansion. He bad no notes to meet
in the bank, which if not paid by day
or an hour would involve protest and
financial ruin. All, this load OF debt
how 1t eriuds ones manhood to powder,
how it aconizes the sensitive heart, how
it shames mans honor, how it has driven
to desperation, to drunkenness, to suicide,
to murder How the anguish OF it takes
the energy out of a man, aud makes him
pine and languish for weary days and
weeks on bed of thorps, that pierce
through the. body into soul !!
So one good way to avoid sickness and
premature death is to aviod debt as you
would the evil one.

In little village in Virginia, there
lived family named Ransom. They
were not pious people, rather on the re
probate order, in fact, and they never
went to church. Once, however. during
a revival the family were prevailed upon
to attend preaching. When they made
their reluctant aud tardy appearance the
services had begun, aud they had scarcely
taken their seats when the preacher gave
out the first hymn, reading it somewhat
thus: "Return, ye ransom sinners home.

Ransoms, getting up in rage, and clap
