Senator Morton,

A Washington special says: A re-
port has prevailed here that Senator
Morton was incensed at the Presidents
hard. money views, and that he intend
ed, at The first opportunity, to assail him
in speech in the Senate. On inquiry,
Mr.. Morton replies that he differs, as is
well and widely known, from the Presi.

reasons Tor that dlnerence at the proper
time though he disclaims making his
issue with the President as personal, as
is represented by common gossip. lie

peal of the legal tender act would DO q
national calamity, in his opinion, and he

Dawes on the Currency.

The following appears among the
Congressional proceedings oflast week ;
The House went into Committee OF
the whole, and resumed the considera-
ton OF the bill authorizing the issue oil
three hundred aud sixiy-fve converia-
BILE bonds.
Mr.. Willard, OF Vermont. offered an
amendment 10 it, providing that green.
backs shall not be legal tender in pay
ment OF debts contracted after the first
ofJuly, 1875.
Mr.. Dawes spoke at length 10 opposi'
tion to the bill. He declared that, with
the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Garfield,
he re;oiced that the hands Of Congress
were being stayed up in the effort, IL II
had the courage TO make II, to bring the
country back TO the laws of trade, and
argued that the direct and inevitable
consequence Of the substitution OF this
pending bill for the existing state o: az
fairs, instead of bringing relief by ap'
proclamation Of greenbacks TO gold
would sink il ten TO fifteen per cent
and thereby take from the laborrer tel
to fifteen per cent. of the purchasing
power of his days wages, aud cut down
his now scanty loaf of bread.
The gr,enback would be worth a,
much as gold to-day Il the Government
would pay it when presented, and !.
would never be worth as much as gold
until the Government; did that. Let u
do that and all the rest would follow
In conclusion he said: Those who are
responsible for public affairs have nc

Whatever in tho near future awaits tina

Mr.. Phelps argued against the pend

world will hold, Adelbert Ames and his
superserviceable and ignorant tool
George f. Harris, responsible. In the
sight of God they are murderers. The
blood of a score or so of ignorant ne
groes stains their hands this bright
morning, and it will stain their souls
forever. In this world the ghosts of The
poor creatures they brought to bloody
graves will haunt them. At night they
will be at their bedsides, and In their
ears they will constantly shrek "mur-
dercrs!" During the day, in their hours
of revelry, they will rise up like Ban
quo to freeze their blood and blanche
their cheeks.
AS there is God in heaven, wo be-
lieve that Adelbert Ames and George
l.. Harris are murderers, and, as he is a
just God, they will surely be punished

Washing Postage Stamps.

The western Postage Record gives the
following about what seems to be very
profitable business in some sections Of
the country.
The washing of postage stamps is pro.
badly the most profitable species Of
laundry work In this or any other coun-
try. Third Assistant Postmaster Cen
eral Barber estimates that tho Govern
ment is annually defrauded out Of ST.
100000, or about per cent. Of tho
amount Of stamps sold, by the use Of
stamps that have been used once and
then washed, and fitted for use q sec
ond time. This seems On enormous
sum, bu. Mr.. Barber has given the mat.
ter long and careful examination
Who it Is, or what organized band of
men Is not yet known, but II Is evident
that the washing OF stamps has become
a systematized business. AS yet, tho
Government has only one method Of
revenge. In many cases washed
stamp can DO easily detected. When
this happens, and postmasters are re-
quested 20 scrutinizo closely, the letter
on which the washed stamp Is found, Is
forwarded to the dead-otter Office.

Speakership of the Senate.

The name Of Col. BLIZZARD, Senator
elect from this District, has been fire..
quently and favorably mentioned in DIFF
ferent portions of the State for the
Speakqrship. We stated some weeks
ago that we did not believe Col. b. was
looking to the position, but the express
sion in his favor has been 30 general we
now feel authorized 10 say he will not
decline 1t, and wo therefore take up the
suggestion of our contemporaries and
respectfully urge his election. He pos
sesses the necessary qualifications--is
quick, prompt and decided in his con-
illusions and courteous and dignified in
his department and bearing. Without
disparagement, no member Of the Sem
ate would make more efficient and
popular presiding officer, and we pre-
sumo, from the favorable manner in
which no has been spoken of in West,
Middle and East Tennessee, that his
nomination will meet very little, If any,
opposition

Alas, for the Republic,

The new administration organ in
New York, the Republic, is reported in
a bad way, and is evidently about TO ex.
pire. The Washington correspondent
of the Cincinnati Commercial states
that the anxious friends who have been
sitting up with II for some time, give It
up, and do not expect II TO last longer
than this week.
The telegraph this morning announces
the suspension OF the Republic.

teresting. The debate between Messrs.

older and more mature minds; the

was appropriate and happy, while the
music, instrumental and vocal, added TO

Fernando Weed.

The Hon. Fernando Wood was re-.
comfy interviewed, ana lie reported tu
have said:
"The people little dream Of tho frauds
and rascality of the party. Thus far,
the surface has only been scraped. How
deep and such bed of official corrup-
ton will be found as will forever sweep
the Republican party from place OF
honorable mention. When the trans
actions Of the party during the last ten
or twelve years are shown up, there
will be nothing left of it: it's very name
will be disgrace, In at least three de-
partments of this Government there
have been transactions compared with
which those of a dishonorabe nature
hitherto discovered are but as the
stories of Mother Goose"
Mr.. Wood futher remarked that the
time for investigation would not arrive
until the meeting of the next Congress
but that then the majority in that body
would make the fur fly.

A Republicans Paper ON the vicks-
burg AFFAIR.

A correspondent OF the New York
Times from Yicksburg, says touching
the killing OF negroes on Monday last:
IL have made the most careful invesu-
CATION possible, aud am OF the opinion
that The white citizens OF vioksburg
were, under the circumstances, justified
In resisting with arms the attack which
was made upon the city by the negroes.
They came In, II will be remembered.
to reinstate Sheriff Crosby after he had
been forced 20 resign. The killing OF
so many black men, however, vas an
necessary aud cannot be Justified
Many Of them were shot while they
were retreating, but II Is not true
that many were killed while begging
for mercy on the contrary all who did
so were protected by the white leaders"
Another dispatch 10 the same paper
dated the 18th, says: Late this evening
number OF gentlemen living on plan
tations in the neighborhood Of the
roads leading into Vicksburg, informed
try were under arms, and In squads OF
twenty aud thir,y were marching to-
ward the city. The Mayor immediate.
ly called out two companies OF special
police aud they are now assembled at
Tho court house. The citizens are gem
orally alarmed, and some OF them fear
that the town will be attacked tonight.
The majority OF the people have no fear
for The town, but think il probable tho
negroes may commit depredations upon
unprotected white families Ia the couu-
try. Two companies or well armed
white men, have just gone to the OUT
skirts Of the city, they will guard the
two principal approaches during tho
