HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,.

THE CURRENCY.
Mr. SOUTHARD offered resolution instruct
ing the Committee on Banking and Currency to
INQUIRE and report the reason why $25 000 600 OF
! the National Bank currency authorized to be
Withdrawn from the States having more than
their proportion has not been Withdrawn and
distributed under the provisions Of the act OF
the 18th Of May, 1870, and what further legis1a-
tiop ia necessary to secure that result. Referred
to the Committee on Banking and Currency,
after o remark by Mr.. Maynard that the Com
mittee had already the subject under considera-
ton.
Nfr. BECK offered resolution calling for in-
formation ON the came subject from the Secre-
tary OF the Treasury. Referred
Mr. HEREFORD introduced bill proFiding
that the tax on State banks shall not be other
or greater than the tai on National Banks
Same reference.
The House then took up the bill reported
Yesterday from the Committee on Foreign AIairs
concerning citizenship aud the rights OF United
States citizens in foreign countries.
Mr. ORTIZ, q member OF the Committee on
Foreign Affairs, addressed tho House in advocacy
Of the bill, and expressed his surprise at the un-
generous attack made upon It yesterday by Mr.
Cox. another member Of the Committee. That
attack had, he said, bcen ba5cd upon three
grounds: first that the bill detracted from
the value of American citizenship; second. that
it would tend to discourage immigration
and, third, that it sought to engraft on the
American statute-book the principles OF the
feudal system. He declared that, il the bill
were properly liable to any ct these objections,
no member of the Committee would have IA
vored it, much less agreed to report it to the
House for favorable action. One objection Was
to that clause Of the bill which declares aa not
subject to the Jurisdiction OF the United States
naturn1ized citizens who may, By the terms Of
any treaty, be regarded as having resumed their
original nationality. Whist reasonable objection
could there be to that? The naturalized citizen
who returned to the country Of his birth, and
who, by virtue Of neutrality-suspicious., denatural-
lied himself thereby, did so BY bis own
voluntary net But the greatest objection
made BY some German journals in this country.
il to that clause Of the bill which declares es
not subject to tho jurisdiction Of the United
States natu1alizcd citizens who, Oh returning to
their native country, may be convicted OF
offences against tho laws OF that country, COM
uitted prior to their arrival in the United States
He claimed-and proved By reference to treaties
that that clause was only in consonanco with
the existing treaties with Austria, Bavaria.
Belgium, Hesee, the North German Union, and
Sweden aud Norway. The only object in putting
tha: clause in the bill WAS as notification to
pa paturalized citizens that, wnen they did |
ratnru to their former homes, theJ
thev rendered themselves amenable to
tha laws Of their native country. and that |

4 PASSAGE AT ARMS.
g.aeciat Dispateh to The Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, D. c., April ga great deal Of
excitement WAS occasioned in the House to-day
bF the passage at arms between Starkweather, OF
Connecticut, and John Young Brown, Of Ken-
tucky. Starkweather assailed Brown some elx
weeks ago for speech By the latter on the Civil
Rights bill, charging him with an attempt to dis
honor our dead soldiers, and with the utterance
Of reasonable sentiments, This il the second
tine that Brown has been thus taken to task
this session. and on each occasion q letter which
he wrote in 1851, containing
D1suS1oS SENTIMENTS
haa been read at the Clerks desk. Brown was
absent when Starkweather's speech WAS made !;
but in the cou1se Of remarks Oh an amendment
he had submitted to the Appropriation bill to-
day. moving to strike out tho paragraph making
an appropriation for the salary Of the
Governor, Secretary, Board Of Public Works,
Board Of Health, and President aud members
OF tho Council Of the District Of
Columbia, ne retaliated By having starkweath-
e:'s Huntington letter, the substance OF which
was publshed some months ago. read By the
Clerk The letter was one Of importantly from
starkweather for money to help him pay his
campaign expenses in 1871, and, as it was ad-
dressed to Huntington,
MANAGER OF THE DISTRICT RING,
and as Starkweather has BEEN uniformly prompt
to defend the ring III Congress-, an Inference
has been drawn that il not at all complimentary
to him.
! Btarkweather made q few remarks in self-de-
3ense, in which Re denied that any corruption
was proven by the letter and the facta connected
Herewith, and denounced severely tho CORE
spondent Of the Now York Sun for procuring the
letter to be Published, asserting that he {Stark-
xeathe1) could have secured the silence OF the
Suns correspondent by paying him $50. He
also
ATTACKED JOHN O. BRECKENRIDGE,
md 1ashed out viciously at everything within
reach. While Brown WAS defending Ereckin-
ridge, he used WARM terms, which stirred up the
patriotic ardor Of the Republican side Of the
House, and he WIS eoon compelled to degist-
StarkWeather made mistake common to men
Of email calibre when in tight Place in attack
ing and aspersing the Sun correspondent.
THE FACTS
with regard to the letter are these:
A persistent and wellorganized effort against
the projected District Investigation succeeded
for some time in preventing it's being orde1ed by
Congress, on the plea that nothing substantial
had been alleged to show its necessity. When
tais became apparent, the Hal1et Ki1bou1ne and
starkWeather letters were furnished the
press for publication by those urg-
morning that they appeared in the Sun they also
appeared in the New York Tribune and certain

ton there waa no longer formidable opposition

Consistency?

Last week the Democrat endorsed
the attempt Of the White Leagues
in Louisiana to overthrow the Kel-
logg State government, and con-
demed the action of the U. S. Gov
ernment in interfering and sustain
ing the State government. This
week the Democrat swallows its ut
terances Of last week, and says !;
"The Government of the United
States did but its duty in suppress
ing the revolutionary proceedings
of the citizens of Louisiana" 1t
further admits that the course of
the citizens White Leagues was
"unwise." Very consistent, indeed !
But such consistency is often found
with Johnny. He's a Ku Kiux ohe
day and a pious Anti .Monop the next.
He is temperance man one day and
a simpering topper next day.
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1874-10-01
which ts the Fraudf

The editor OF the DeniOcrH Calls
Jack Morrison q "fraud," simply
because the latter dared to come into
Marion county to tell his brother
farmers and grangers what he knows
about such farmers as Mccormack,
Stone and Grinnell using the Grange
to its destruction, to advance their
own personal interests and political
schemes. Mr.. Morrison is farmer
and a granger. He earns his living
by the work of his own hands and
the sweat of his brow on small
farm in Keokuk county. He is one
of the class for whom the Democrat
delights to profess great sympathy
by telling them they are poor and
oppressed that they are forced to
pay the taxes of the rich men, the
bankers, the railroad kings, and
the moneyed monopolists, and that
the Republican party Is robbing
th, to death, etc.
Because John Morrison dares to
defend the grange against its false
friends, refuses to submit to their
dictation, thinks and acts for him
self, and advises his grange brethren
to support the Republican party as
the only party which can or will
bring about the reforms which they
demand, this John l.. Mccormack,
the farmers friend, denounces him
as g fraud" and heaps ridicule up
on him, as he will upon every other
farmer who dares to assert his inde-
pendence and raise his voice in a
public manner against the decep-
lions and wrongs being practiced
upon the people by these hypocriti-
cal Anti-Monopoly leaders-these
" farmers at long range" as Norris
on very aptly terms them. AS our
neighbor Mccormack sees it, farm
err is honest If he votes the s0-called
Anti Monopoly ticket; if he does
not, and dares raise an eloquent
voice against it, he is denounced as a
fraud"
Candidly and dispassionately let
US ask our neighbor TO give IA calm,
sens. BILE reason for such course, if
he can, or show cause why he should
