THE resolution introduced into the Sen.

THE resolution introduced into the SEN
ate some time ago by Mr. Sumner, author
izing an investigation into the sale Of arms
by the War Department to the agents of
France during the late war between that
country and Prussia, has been very fully
discussed by several leading Senator's
The most brilliant speech that has been
made was delivered by Carl Schurz. AS
an ablo and eloquent effort, it recalled the
best days of the Senate, when intellectual
giants and DOT pigmies controlled its de-
bates. In view of The fact that the elo-
quent and highly cultivated Senator from
Missouri, being foreign born, cannot as
pire to the Presidency, and that a negro
can, the New York Void, in speak ing
of this remarkable speech of Senator
Schurz, says:
Senator Schurz's magnificent speech will
bring into notice ouce more the refusal Of the
Republican majority in Congress to consider
any such amendment of the Federal Consti-
tuition would put the foreign born citizen
of the United States on the same footing as
respects the Presidency and Vice Presidency
as the Ignorant negro savage Of tho South.
Here is man Of the same blood and nation
atty as the Baron Stueben. who drilled our
old Continental armies, approving himself
tlat rather rare thing nowadays real orator
in a cause which fluids few great advocates
at present, the cause Of honesty and law !;
and yet, orator and honest man as he is,
doing yeoman service for the plurdered and
plotted LHinst American people, he is the
poiitica inferior Of the most worthless black
vagaboud who pilfers at night and makes
laws in lLe day down South. Our Revo.u>
tionary fathers thonght SO well of Senator
Schurz's Cd time country man, the Baron
SteubeL, aLd cf all other good and true men
Of foreigu birth who stood by the rights Of
the people in that trying time, that it was
expressly provided in the Constitution that
they should be as eligible to any honor in the
gift Of the people tie native born. Feel
ing now the Justice of this same rule, and
revolving at the hideous anamoly of confer
ing an eligibility on the rice, field Congo
which is denied the naturaiz.d citizen, the
Democrats in the House sought not long since
to break down the distinction. Even on
strict Republican ground they were justified.
for with what does Republicansm deafen us
If not with the cry that all men are equal
Aud this was effort at equality, but by
Republican strength the effort was foiled.
That the forsign-born citizen shall not be
the full political equal of the negro is Ecpub-
iican doctrine as laid down by the votes of
its expounders. That citizen may be of great
reputation. of rising influence. the foe of the
cOrruptionS which are over clouding our lib
critics, ana the friend of reform. 1t does not
matter he and all like him shall lie under
the ban"

A MOST damaging expose of the doinss of
the minority report of the KuKux Conn
mittse. They dwell at length on carpet>
bag, scallawag and negro rule, showing that
the assessed value of the taxable property In
the eleven States of the South has been re>
duced from S43S3. 757 ,942 in 1860 to s2.~
026 ,440 97l in 1870, being a loss of g.
307 SOC 97l, or over $500 100000 more
than now remains. The State taxation on
what these people now have was in 1870,
$12.S13 els, while it was s., los ,486 ia
1860. When their affairs were managed by
their own people, the county taxation on all
the property then owned was only So 49,
l84, while now, under csrpet~bag and negro
rule, it is $l4 ,29S $50, or eleven millions
more on the remnant still in existence than
1t was on the whole property they owned
when the war began. In view Of the enor>
nous debt which is shown to have been
wantenly. corruptly aud fraudulently hesped
upon people as poor as the census reports
show, with. Ave sigths of their property gone.
and the taxation on the remnant nearly four
fold as much as it was on tha whele whom
fne affairs were honestly managed, is it to
be expected that the people of these States
will have either love or respect for the men
or the party by whom they have been thus
plundered No man can look over tbs testi.
mony taken before the COMMITTEES, without
coming to the conclusion that ne people has
ever been so mercilsssly robbed and plundsred
so wantonly aud causelessly humiliated
and dsgraded--so reckessly exposed to the
rapacity and lust of the ignorant and vicious
portion of their own community and Of other
States-as tie people of the South for tie
last six years.

TIE SUMMER EXCURSION OF THE STATE
EDITORIAL AssOCEATIoN.-The Officers of the
State Editorial Association, who were em~
powered to make all arrangements for the
next Summr excursion, concluded that the
very courteous invitation extended by the
city Of Erie could not be declined. On the
contrary, it has been accepted in the same
spirit in which it was rendered. The time
for the excursion has not been decided upon,
hut it will take place early in June. A trip
to Erie at that season of the year will prove
to be very pleasant. The scenery along the
different railroads leading to the city is cali
culated to excite the admiration of all be-
holders. Arrangements similar to those en-
tered into last Summer will be made by the
officers, and members of the Association will
be notified in due time. Judging from the
excursion of last Summer. the coming gath
ering will be very large. and the occasion
one of thorough enjoy In

as usual. The friends of each candi

in their best efforts. AS was to have
been expected, the County went Dem

We have no doubt that if the Dem

would have lost the day. We are
very hopeful that in lue time The

victorious. You have the material,
all that's lacking is the necessary or.
