ANTHoNY's RESOLUTION A BAMBoozLE.
philadelphia Cor. ESsning Chronicle.
WASHINGTON, March 22.-The con-
tinuation of the Senate has been bet
ter than its beginning. Grant apd his
constitutional advisers could Hardly
have anticipated the results that are
following, and will continue to follow,
from this remarkable debate on the
Louisiana imbroglio. 1t has reacted, !,
aad will always continue to react, with
fearful force ON the rank and file of the
Republican party. The best speeches
made in the Senate on this question.
have been made within few dayspast,
Their effect must be long felt through
out the country.
The speech of Mr.. Eaton, of Con-
neoticut, on Saturday last, was strik-
ing exhibition of forensic power. 1t
was the first appearance of MIR. Eaton
as a speaker In the Senate; and it is
high praise to say that he fully equal
led the expectations of his friends.
He was called suddenly to the floor,
and, therefore, had not the opportuni-
ty for an elaborate argument to which
he is fairly entitled by his talents; but
his statements and arguments were
replete with sound sense and the true
spirit of Jeffersoniam Democracy. 1t
was the best proof of his superior abili.
ty, that he at.once secured the attention
of the Senate, on both sides of the
Chamber, and was listened to through.
out with the deepest interest.
Mr.. Eaton 10 destined to be proved
by his senatorial career, one Of the
ablest men of the country. No man
among us better understands the real
Democratic doctrine of State Rights,
or Is more competent to explain or de-
fend 1t.
Mr.. Herman, of New York, has al.
ready begun to make his mark, with
fine effect. Tersc. clear, careful, precise
with the nicely-balanced mind Of an
upright judge, his opinions on the CUES
tions of the day are well entitled to
great weight.
The expected speech OF Mr.. johnson,
of Tennessee, has well satisfied hi:
friends and confounded his enemies
With a calm, dispassionate, studious
argument, he reviewed the history oil
the Louisiana outrage, and powerfully
stigmatized it as it deserves. His sar
castle denunciations of the insolent IN
terferencc of Sheridan will never be
forgotten by all who heard the COO
collected words with which johnson
uttered it. The scene and the mar
were alike remarkable. 1t was like the
dignity of Webster, expressed though
tho polish of Clay.
No part of this speech was more i'm
pressivc than its apostrophes to thu
Union and Constitution. 1t was mas
terly, and reflects the highest honor OF
the patriotism and talents of Mr.. John
son. He stood liks Roman Senate
in the form, declaring his purpose t
stand by the pillars of the supreme
law of the land as he would upholt
the best rights and liberties of the peo
pie. To this support he pledged til,
good citizens of the South, and solem
ly assured the country that no part o
the land would more firmly stand fo
| the Union than his own immediat
neighbors and constituents.
The denunciation of the delusiol
| and snare of the claim of Grant ant
his officer holders for third term vii
not soon be forgotten. 1t was utterl
scathing and unanswerable. The Who'll
policy of grant was shown up in it
dark and disgracful eolors-especiall
his Infamous practice of receiving gift
, President of the United States. Gran
. was declared to be vastly more guilt,
immensely worthy of the obliquy an
! scorn of the Republio-than that rule
of England was, who, for receiving
of a thousand guineas from a fellow
subject, was tired by his peers, con
victed by the Supreme Tribunal of tn
people removed from office in disgrace
and Enormously punished. In such
case of history as this, Grant may rea,
his own doom.
MIR. johnson was followed with ad
mirable effect by Senitors Bogy, O
Missouri ; Withers, of Virginia, an,
Randolph, of New Jersey.
Although each speech was short, til
whole effect has been good. A larg
amount of valuable information ha
been introduced, that the people can
not but be benefited by pcrusing a
their homes.
Anthony has not made much by bi
toady resolution to whitewash Grant
1t is too late in the day for such hum
bugs to bamboozle the people.
