Congress Yesterday. !

In the U. S. Senate yesterday, the
bill removing the limitation on, the
circulation of banks issuing gold notes
was passed. The bill abolishing the
Western Judicial District of Arkansas
and the bill appropriating 500, 600 for
a custom house at Portland, oregon,
were consideredi Mr.. Thurman s Loui-
siana resolution was discussed at length
pending which the Senate went into
executive session, and afterwards ad-
journed.
In the House, 1lr. White OF Alaba-
ma, asked leave to offer resolution
thanking the President for what he
had done in Louisiana, aud pledging
him the cooperation of the House. =
Mr.. Bromberg, of Alabama, objected.
The Democrats called for the yeas and
nays, when the Speaker stated that OBJ
lection being made, the resolution was
not before the House. Mr.. Bromberg
then withdrew his objection, but it was
too late, and the resolution was not re-
ceived. Mr., Beck, of KY, introduced
bill to retire the National bank cur
rency, and provide for specie resump-
tion. A petition from Irwin, then con-
tumatious Pacific Mail witness, was
received, asking that, on account OF
his delicate health, he Nigh be confin
ed somewhere else than in the District
| Jail. After discussion, his petition was
laid on the table. The Senate finance
| bill was taken up as the special order
the previous question was seconded
and it was passed by vote of 1875 tt
SO. Some Republicans, including
Dawes and the two Hoars of Massachu
j setts, Hawley of Connecticut, andKel
| ley of Pennsylvania voted against the
bill. Mr.. Wilson, from the Judiciary
Committee, reported in favor of laying
upon the table the resolutions Of i'm
peachment against Judge Durell, o
Louisiana, he having resigned. 1t wa
so agreed, and similar action was takel
i in the case of Judge Busteed. Mr.. But
Ter, of Mass, gave notice that on Mon
! day he wonld offer resolution that
in considering the Civil Rights bill n
dilatory motions shall be entertained
+ Adjourned.

The call which we publish this
morning for great meeting of citi.
zsns at tho Cooper Institute on Mon.
day evening, to express the public
sentiment Of this community on the
recent extraordinary proceedings in
Louisiana, should arrest the thought
ful attention of President Grant. This
call is signed by our most eminent
and respected citizens, including such
as well known names as William Cul-
lon Byrant, August Belmont, William
d. Evarts and many others of similar
standing. The president has reason
to distrust his judgment and review
his conclusions when the first citizens

proving Of his conduct, but for uni.
ting in an appeal to their fellow citi.
zens to assemble in a great public
meeting to give united expression tc
their condemnation and raise a voice O.
alarm and send it far and wide through
the country. The President canno
affect to ignore or undervalue such
demonstration, supported by sucl
eminent names. They express th
almost unanimous public sentiment O

competent to judge of as Presiden

WouId 1t be Wise TO Pay the
State Debt?

The whole amount Of debt tor which
the people Of Delaware are liable is
s., ,250, 900. To meet this the State has
invested at interest sl,123,ls9. So that
were it necessary to pay the State debt,
it might be done next year, provided the
bondholders would receive pay for their
State bonds, without increasing the
present rate Of tax. This would require
the uss Of the school fund for this pur-
pose, which belongs to the people to use
as they deem best for the public good.
In reference to the use Of the school
fand for this purpose the Governor, in
his Message, says:
II can contemplate but one contingen-
ey, and that, it is to be hoped, a very re-
mote one, which, in my opinion, would
Justify such action. IL the Congress of the
United States. by the passage of a bill
now pending in the House of Represen-
tatives. or by the adoption Of any similar
measure, should interfere with the edu-
cationsl interest Of the State for the
purpose Of compelling the education OF
white and colored children in mixed
schools, the Legislature, in my Judgment
WOtllu uOt Ouly Dt JiSJihcu, puu ic4uhCn
by public sentiment in the State, to call
in the Investments sci apart for common
schools and apply the same to the pay.
ment Of the public debt
We presume that the great mass ol
the white PED of the State agree with
the proposition of the Governor.
In connection with this matter we
may add that as Delaware furnished
more than her quota Of volunteers fol
the late war, and paid out Of her treasu
ry over q million of dollars for substi
tutes for the army, she is justly entitled
to the reimbursement of that money b!
the General Government And it woul(
perhaps be proper to set it aside as
school fund. With this fund as basis
and having no State debt, light ta,
would be sufficient to give us goo,
schools in every county in the State.

'REPU BLIc AS OPINION OF GEN sHERI,
"a DAN.

Dan.
The eS York Times remarks
Such despatch as that which Gen'l
Sheridan sent to the Secretary of War
on Tuesday is not warranted by any
facts, known to the public
scarcely beswarn nted under any con
ceiyable circumstances, We have ne
yer published such q document before,
and we must say that nothing like 1t
has ever occurred In country under
constitutional government We are at
a loss to make out what are General
Sheridan's ideas Of the constitution
under which he lives, or of the func.
tions of Congress, or of the powers of
the Executive. to say nothing of the
powers which may rightfully be exer:
cised by Lieutenant General in the
army. He first of all suggests that
| Congress should pass bill declaring
certain class of the people of Louisi-
ana, Arkansas and Mississippi ban
ditti." How many he would include
In this class does not appear, nor does
he explain since what date in our his
tory it has been usual for officers in
the army to presume to dictate to Con
gress as to the legislation 1t should
adopt. But moment afterwards a
still better idea struck him, and he
also says, 1T is possible that If the
President would issue q proclamation
declaring them banditti that no further
action need be taken except that which
would devolve upon me-" II this
means anything, it means that General
Sheridan would forthwith proceed to
hang or shoot as many persons as he
chose to bring under his own descrip
ton Of "banditti. We have, then, q
plain proposal that the President shall
!, "declare" an indefinite number of citi
zens "banditti," and that General
Sheridan should then deal with them
without benefit of judge or jury. 'Thi
: would certainly be resolving govern
: ment into its primitive elements, bu
3, there is shorter cut still which Gen
sheridan might have recommended
|. 1t is for the President to declare tn
Constitution and all its amendment
annulled, shut up Congress, put dow
all the newspapers, and then proclaim
himself Dictator, with Gen'i Saerida
!; as his sole Minister and chief execu
g tioner. If General Sheridan had al
9 vised this course at once, he woul'
r scarcely have shown a greater ignt
l. rance or disregard of law than he ha
? done in the most extraordinary, and W
must add disgraceful, despatch of jar

LAMPS NEEDED.-Wo respectfully beg
leave to call the attention of the Lamp
Committee Of Council to the need of a
couple of lamps on Front street between
French and Market. This is one of the
great thoroughfares for pedestrians, but
it is so dark frequently that persons are
liable to serious injury from not being
able to observe tire frequent passage of
vehicles. Carriages move so noiselessly
upon the railway track that life is often
endangered. We colild refer to a case
Of very recent occurrence wherein a
gentleman received black eye" from
being struck by the pole of n carriage
while on this street. 1t approached
him in the darkness so quietly He wore
this evidence OF his narrow escape from
serious injury for more than q week In
addition, the frequent noise from tn,
moving Of locomotives and cars very
often browns the slight noise which
vehicles make when on the railway
Tho bad condition OF tho pavements OF
this part of Front street Is another rca
son why it should be better lighted.

THE RESPONSIBILITY OF A JUDGE. -
Mr.. Edward Lange convicted in the
United States Circuit Court of New
York of an unlawful use OF mail bags
was orronou sly sentenced by Judge
Benedict of that court, TO fine and i'm
prisonment. The first part of Mr..
Lange's sentence having been fulfilled
the United States Supreme Court de-
cided that the second part-imprison.
ment was enforced without authority
OF law, and the prisoner was discharg-
ed. Thcreupon he brought suit for
false Imprisonment. A demurrer was
set up by the defendant, on the ground
that judge was not liable in civil
action for damages, Notwithstanding
the commission of an error. Judge
Van Brunt, Of the Supreme Court has
overrulcd this demurrer, deciding that
n judge Of court Of general iurisdic-
tion makes himself liable TO an action
when he attempts to enforcca Judgment
which he knows TO have been satisfied
jThe ultimate decision of this case will
be looked for with interest. -

Candy, in urging the adoption of the
report in favor Of meeting the wishes Of
the petitioners, said he was OF the opin
ion that the smaller reservoir would b,
amply large and would cost about sl00,
900 less than the large one. Strangely
enough. Mr.. Febiger opposed the report
and had sufficient weight to carry tn,
most Of his party against its adoption
Notwithstanding the glaring fact that +
saves to the people the expenditure o
one hundred thousand dollars. Ever,
Democrat voted for the report.
