From the Martinsburg Statesman, Dem.l
The Liberal Republicans in them
selves possess some strength, but not
sufficient TO accomplish any decidnd
results in any State. 1t must now de
pend altogether upon the Democratic
party TO give to this feeble insurrec-
tionary movement the character and
dignity OF revolution. If the Demo
Gratis en- maSss support the Cincinnati
ticket it has a fair chance of success.
II there be any irreconcilable repug.
nance to it's candidates, or want OF
zeal and enthusiasm in their support,
the trained and disciplined cohorts Of
the Government will prevail. There is
much in the ticket to excite the enthu-
siasm of the masses But we suspend
our action until we see what will be the
course of that great party of which we
are proud to be a member. and to
whose organized and national decision
we snail bow with reverence.

therefore moved TO amend by striking
out the word wool" thus leaving the
duty on raw material as at presen'
fixed by law.
Mr.. Bingham thought the present
tariff on wool and woolen manufactures
should remain unchanged. Under the
operation otthe present law the growth
and manufacture OF wool had increased
in this country $50 per cent, and the
clip this year would not be less thar
10000, 900 pounds. He therefore Of
fered an amendment striking out wooler
manufactures from the list OF articles
on which the whole per cent reduction
was proposed.
Mr.. kellogg gave notice that he IN
tended to offer an amendment to reduc'
the duty on wrought scrap iron TO sl'o'

Mr.. Dawes stated that by an over
sight in drawing up the bill, the Com
mittee on Ways and Means had lef
lumber and lumber manufactures out o
the list OF articles on which the 10 pei
cent reduction was proposed.
Mr.. Beatty moved an amendment BY
striking out the hair of the alpaca goa
or other animals from the 10 per cen
paragraph. Rejected.
Several other amendments were OF
fered and rejected.

HOUSE.

The House took mp the bill reported
yesterday from the Committee on In
valid Pensions.
Mr.. Roosevelt moved provision that
widows shall not lose their pensions by
marrying again, and spoke OF the phi,
losophy of encouraging rather than dis
couraging marriages, whether in maids
or widows.
The amendment was rejected-yeas

Mr. Wheeler moved an amendment

the chair, on the tariff and tax bill.
After an hour in committee, and get

the committee rose, and Mr.. Dawes
moved that the whole Of the section
embracing everything that comes un.
der the ten per cent reduction be treat
ed as q single paragraph, 90 as TO limit
the power OF amendment, which was
agreed TO, and the House went into
committee; when Mr.. Cox moved to
make the reduction OF 30 per cent on
the present duties, except in regard 10
cotton goods, for which he offered q
paragraph in the original bill. Re-
jected-47 10 "a.
Mr.. Kerr moved to make o reduction
Of fifteen per cent on the present
rates.
Mr.. Dawes appealed to the House to
adhere to the ten per cent reduction az
the only practicable one. The Senate
would 20 for that and nothing else. He
ridiculed the free trade notions that Mr..
Kerr had picked up in bis recent Euro
pean tour.
Mr.. Kerr replied that he had seen
the effect Of free trade in England,
which was now the greatest nation Of
the world. The effect was beneficial to
all classes. 1t developed wealth, stin.
ulated activity, increased the wages OF
lsboring men and reduced the hours of
labor.
Mr.. Kelly took Issue with Mr.. Kerr's
statement that Great Britain vas the
greatest nation in the world and claimed
the precedence of the United States. He
referred to the impoverished condition
of Ireland, India and Portugal as the
results Of the English policy Of free
trade, and characterized England as
treacherous nation, whose people were
paupers and whose manufacturers were
Princes.
After good deal Of discussion and
dilatory voting, Mr.. Kerrs and other
amendments in the same direction were
rejected.
The afternoon was devoted to the
discussion Of the paragraph which fixes
the duty on iron, wool, cotton, and
India rubber, and the manufacture of
each Of these articles at 10 per cent
less than is now imposed BY law.

SENATE.

Mr.. Sawyer roee to personal ex'
plana.ion and said that If he could have
been present on Thursday afternoon,
when the motion to include the civil
rights bill with the amnesty bill was
before the Senate, he would have voted
against it, feeling certain that to unite
the bills was to insure the defeat OF
both.
Mr.. Stevens asked and obtained Tor
his colleague, Mr.. Davis, OF kentuckg'
whose health he said was not good
leave OF absence to the end OF the ses'
sion.
Mr.. Morton offered a resolution
which was agreed to, to authorize the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
to investigate the election OF Senators
Pomeroy and Caldwell, OF Kansas, the
committee to have power to send for
persons and papers and to SIT IN "asnI
ington or elsewhere during the recess oi
Congress. ,,n.
Mr.. Morton-I am instructed by the
Committee on Privileges and Elections
to say they express no opinion IN regard
to the charges made against either OF
these Senators, and no inference can oe
drawn az to their guilt or innocence
from the presentation OF this resoiu-
ton.
Mr.. Cole called up the resolution
offered by him yesterday asking the
Secretary of War for information IN re-
lation to Goat Island, which was
agreed to.
Mr.. Casserly called up his resolution
asking for information as to the state
of accounts between the Government
and each of the Pacific railroads, except
the Northern, which was agreed to.
At the expiration Of the morning
hour the Senate resumed the consldera-
tion of the bill to amend the enforce
ment act.
The bill to amend the enforcement
act was again proceeded with.
Mr.. Hamilton, of Texas, moved that
no compensation shall be awarded TO
newly elected supervisors. Adopted.
Mr.. Casserly moved an amendment
that the words "any person" in section
four OF the enforcement act OF 1871
shall be held to include any officer or
any person having power to otficiate
authoritatively under this act or under
the original act. The amendment was
adopted. Its effect is to prescribe the
same punishment for election officers
who interfere with the rights OF voters
az for other persons.
Mr.. Casserly moved an amendment
prohibiting the use OF troops or armed
men at election polls, unless necessary
to repel armed enemies Of the United
States or to preserve the peace where It
cannot otherwise be maintained. de
stated that gross outrages were com
mitted by the United States forces al
the Mare Island navy yard at the last
election in California, intimidating
voters in such a manner as, if done 10
the South, would have raised storm OF
indignation.
Mr.. Cole said he was ignorant Of any
such occurrences at Mare Island, and
if they had happened, it was very
strange that he had not heard Of them.
The Senate then, without any further
action, adjourned.

Heaye Over Jonah.


From the Fairmont West V1rginian, Rep.l
We believe we have a right to speak
plainly. II we were to-day assured
that the present incumbent could be
elected for another term, we would be
well satisfied, for Grant is our first
choice. But there ia such thing as a
com promise; and sometimes such a
course is advisable. especially when
mere individual preference is concerned.
A Republican can support Schuyler
Colfax as consistently as he can
support Grant; he can support
Greeley or Wilson as consistently
as he can Colfax, if either should
receive the nomination at Philadel-
phia. And as there are so many
powerful combinations against Grant
90 much and so serious objection to
him, ("whether just or not-still for
midable") we thinkIit duty he owes
to the country and to his party to decline
the candidacy. We do not believe the
many reports circulated against Presi-
dent Grant, but there are many who do
believe them. And if the Philadelphia
Convention is wise and prudent it will
nominate Schuyler Colfax-a man upon
whom there is neither reproach nor the
shadow of reproach, and upon whom
the party can unite and be triumphant.
We say this as supporter and an ad-
mirer OF President Grant.
We are not now prepared to define
the future; but We have every reason
to hope for an adjustment Of the diff.
culties which now divide the party.
Should the Democrats nominate
straight party ticket there is no chance
for their success; but in the event that
they avail themselves of the opportuni-
ty afforded by the irreparable conse-
quences OF false step upon the part
of the Philadelphia Convention; if,
after fair warning, the action Of that
Convention proves mistake-then the
Philadelphia nominee will have more
to contend with than one with ardent
hopes for success wonld desire.
