43D CONGRESS..-.FIRS SESSION.
SENATE.

WAsuISGroN, June ~.
When Mr.. Sargent concluded, the chair
announced that the question was upon
agreeing to the report of the committc of
conference No senator taking the floor,
the chair desired that the roll call proceed
A violent rain-stOrm was prevailing at the
time, and the noise upon the metallic roof
was so great that the senators could not be
heard across the chamber, therefore bust
ness had to be suspended for a short time.
Mr. Stewart took the floor and said it
was very evident that the chair was not
heard by senators. when he directed roll to
be called. He then proceeded to oppose
the bill as perfected by the committee and
said the produce of the country was now
being robbed by the printing machine in
making greenbacks.
He did not favor any compromise, and
said the bill was In the interest Of cXpan-
sion. 1t was so framed that no one would
understand it, and it would cost millions
and millions of dollars to interpret it, as
"
upon it. lie thought the bill must have
originated in windstorm. 1t consisted Of
a lot of phrases put together which meant
nothing. lie opposed the eighth section of
the bill in regard to the redemption of
legal tenders in bonds in 1873, and said it
would be far better to fix the time fer re-
demption in 1890 and then return to actual
specie payments, and not redeem in bonds.
The report of the conference committee
on the currency bill was agreed to- yeas
80, NAYS 90.
Mr. Carpenter, from the judiciary com
mittee. reported favorably on the bill to de
termine the jurisdiction of the circuit courts
of the United States, and to regulate the
removal of caucus from state courts, and
for other purposes. Placed on calendar.
The Senate at 4;3j went into executive
session and after short time adjourned
until tomorrow.

Aa Appeal
III BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE ORPHANS
QE SOuTH CAROLINA

III BEHALF OF THE DESTITUTE ORPHANS
OF SOUTH CAROLINA.
Notwithstanding the applause of the
many and seeming appreciation Of that
noble charity, the Palmetto Ophans'
Home, 80 much needed and 30 we'll
conducted, located in Columbia-with
the good it has already accomplished
in resouing from want, ignorance and,
in many cases, from haunts of vice,
destitute orphans-we are sorry to ad-
nit that such ON institution has been
crippled in its sphere Of usefulness and
allowed to languish for want OF aid me-
cessary to it's successful career; and
that the support and instruction of the
present happy family Of orphans shell
tered within its walls should be allowed
to depend on but few contributions.
However willing those few may be to
devote their energy and means in aid
of the enterprise, they are. unable
themselves to carry the entire burden,
consequently forced to appeal to the
people at large to assist in the good
work OF establishing the Palmetto Or
phans' Home on permanent basis.
The Home is not sectarian or demo-
minational. The Trustees consist of
members from the different branches
OF the chursh. The children are reli-
giously trained at home and in the
several Sunday schools; during the
week they are instructed by compe-
tent teacher, with special reference to
future usefulness. It is now ques-
ton whether or not such an institution
in our midst, based entirely upon cha
rity and love, with no paid official, be
supported, or shall it, for want of
means. be abandoned? and the or
phans now supported and educated
therein be thrown npon the world
destitute and friendlc:s.
+ Reader, if you favor the former pro-
position, come at once to the rescue.
Donations Of money. provisions and
clothing will be acknowledged in the
"Orphans' Appeal." neat family
paper, published in the interest of the
Home, ut 81 per annum. All commu
nications should be directed to "Pal.
metto Orphans Home, p. o. Box 160,

Raphael Semmes, the confederate privateer.
who inflicted so much injury upon the COM
merce OF the north during the rebellion, is the
latest applicant for political amnesty. In his
petition to Congress he sets forth that when the
war broke out he believed his allegiance due to
his state, and his resignation as an officer in the
federal navy was accepted BY the Secretary of
the navy; that at the close of the war he settled
N Alabama as q citizen of the United States;
mat as voter he has sworn to support and de-
Iend the constitution; and he now asks that
congress remove the political disabilities under
winch he has so long labored, and restore hi
10 the fuN and free embrace OF the only country
which he cares to claim.

In the senate, yesterday, Mr.. Bayard offered
resolution requesting the Presden TO inform
that body which any Off GER of the army
station ed in South Carolina has received COM
pensation from the legislature of that state for
services performed in the line of his duty, and
whether said officer has been admitted 10 prsc-
tee at the bar Of that state, and whether such eff
Ger has been d,tached from his command. Ths
resolution implies that the Senator has reason
to believe that some army officer or officers hold
sinecures under the government, aud for a
consideration are performing extra work for
the state Of South Carolina. 1t may turn out
that Mr.. Bsya is misinformed, but il he il not
the offending parties, whoever they may be, are
evidently wholly unfit to hold positions in the
United States army.

The cOmplainants in the case of Corcoran >,
al against the Chesapeake and Ohio canal COM
Iany seek by bill to compel the company to
apply the let tolls and revenues to paw the in
terest on certain bonds and securities The ?
alege IN their brief that ''the state of MARYLAND
owns 5OcO0 coo of the stock, out of s. ,225 900,
consequently she had controlled and exercised
II. The testimony shows that parties who rarely
bad any interest were appointed to represent
the state, and were expected to subserve some
political interest and it was a mere political
machine" This Is precisely the point we
nave all along made in urging re-
form IN the management OF the canal
AS stated, too, in the brief this fact was estab-
hshed by the success of the experiment OF nom
political management made in 1870, when Mr..
James Z. Clarke, a competent person, was
made president Of the company with an amount
OF salary which warranted him in giving his
attention TO his duties. The result of this was
that the revenue Of the company was increased
nfty per cent. the first year, and doubled the
second year, being in 1s69-T0, the year preced-
ing Mr.. Clarke's appointment, sl27 900; in his
hrst year, ls7O-71, s197 ,OOe, and in his second
year, ls1l-'T2, s253, 900; and all this with an
annual reduction of expenses. Since then the
management has relapsed into the hands of the
politicians, and the canal business is again
"goiDg to the bad" as might have been antici-
Pated from past experience.
