EVENING SESSION.

Mr.. johnson submitted an amendment
to the Tariff bill, SO as to provide that the
il C ease of tax on tobacco shall only APP
ply to tobacco manufactured after the
passage of the act.
Thrman'S POlicy-Reducing Expenditures
in preference to Imposing additional Bur-
denS upon the People.
Mr.. Thurman said it was assumed this
bill would increase the revenne of the
Government not less than S30,000,000. 1t
would be admitted on all hands that no
such tax should be levied unless there
was an overruling necessity for it, To
impose snch taxation, unless there was
an overruling necessity for it would be
little less than a crime. 1t had not been
demonstrated to his satisfaction that the
receipts Of the government would not
meet the current expenses. The Senator
who had charge of this bill said the ma
tionAl honor was involved in keeping the
sinking fund intact He did not agree
with him there, and hoped to show the
Senate that the sinking fund pIovision
was no part of the contract between the
government and its creditors, therefore,
the honor of the government was not in
vOlved in the keeping of that fund intact.
The object of that fund was to secure a
reduction of the debt at the rate ofone per
cent. per annum. The law was passed in
1872, and from that time to 1874, a period
of twelve wears, more than twelve per
cent of the debt had been paid. The gov
ernment had more than complied with
the law. lie favored the reduction of the
army to $1,000 men, which would save
len millions per annum. The country
formerly had an army of nine thousand
men. and he believed an army of that
size now could do all the service requlr-
ed. One half Of the expense of the navy
might be spared, and that would save
probably fifteen million dollars annually.
The government could burn one half o1
its ships and get along just as well as il
| does now. In conclusion he said the
most rigid economy must be practiced by
the government ana W the people of the
country before the end of the present
troubles would be reached.
After further debate, the amendment
of johnson, providing that increased to-
bacco tax should only apply to tobacco
manufactured after the passage of the act
was agreed to. Yeas, %; nays, 26.
Mr.. Sargent submitted an amendment
to strike ont The first and second sections
providing for the leyying and collection
of tax Of ten cents per pound on all
kinds Of coffee, and two cents per pound
on all kinds Of tea. Lost.
The bill was laid on the table by vote
of 30 to 80
Adjourned.

THERE are twenty-three Democratic
Governors and as many Democratic
State Legislatures. Each of the Legsla-
lures should adopt resolutions and direct
their Governors to forward them to the
Governor of Arkansas, recognizing the
present government in that State as the
only legitimate one. Copies OF these
resolutions should, by authority, be sent
to Grant. We should then see whether
he would have the audacity after this
declaration from two.thirds of the States
to carry out his threat of overturning the
Arkansas State Administration, Ohio
should lead off in the matter at an early
date.

ment in Arkansas should not be inter-

The substitute was rejected-yeas, ~;

EVENING SESSION.

The Tax and Tariff bill being unfnish-
ed business, Mr.. johnson moved to in
definitely postpone it, and upon this
motion he addressed the Senate at length
in favor of the bill allowing W. P. G.
Lee to bring suit in the Court of Claims
for the Arlington estate, and then with
drew his motion to indefinitely postpone
Mr. Thurman spoke against the bill,
and said there was no necessity for hot
haste. If there was any necessity for
Keeping this sinking fund intact, it could
be done by the next Congress which
would meet in few months, and there
would be plenty of time then to act on
the subject.
The bill was then read third time and
passed as it came from the House without
amendment-Yeas, 80; nays, 70.
Mr.. Sargent moved to take up the Sun

A SOUTHERN correspondent of the Gin,

n SOUTHERN correspondent OF lne I'm
cinr att Commercial relates a converse.
ton with former slave named Hall,
near Shreveport, Louisiana, who, since
emancipation has got quite well of, worth
some $I2, 900, the richest negro in north
ern Louisiana, a man of some intelli-
gence and generally respected, The tes-
timony of this man, which is certainly
entitled to quite as much credence as the
assumptions of so unscrupulous parti-
san as Mr.. George F. Hoar, supplies a
sufficient explanation of the large coIored
vote given to Conservative candidates at
the last election. Mr.. Hall very frankly
stated his position, which was that the
colored people must live in the South,
the climate of which suited them better
than the North, and that it was best for
them to maintain friendly relations with
the whites, who own nearly all the land.
Therefore, it was for their interest to sup
port the Conservative party, who NOM
mated the best candidates for office, es-
pecially as the Radicals, by their dis
honest legislation, brought extravagant
taxation upon the people, from which
the negroes suffered in the end as much
as the whites. He believed the Radical
party was cheating party, caring moth
ing for the negro except to get his vote,
and if possible his money through such
swindling institutions as the Freedman S
Bank. The failure of this concern was
one of the main reasons why the Con-
servatives carried the parish in which he
lives, as many of the colored men had
sums varying from fifty cents to three
hundred dollars in the bank, and when
they learned of its failure they lost all
faith in the Republican party and voted
with the Conservatives. In the fairest
and most quiet election ever held in
Shreveport the whites and colored con-
servatives elected their candidates by
over six hundred majority, only to have
them counted out by Kellogg's Return
ing Board, though nobody doubted that
they were honestly elected, 1t is un-
doabtedly true that the considerations
mentioned by Mr.. Hall have had great
weight with the most intelligent class of
colored voters, not only in Louisiana,
but in other reconstructed States, and
sensible people, without regard to color
or previous condition, will probably agree
with this exceptionally intelligent repre-
sentative of his race when he says; "A
white party and black party, such as
We have had so much Of in Louisiana,
will ruin any country"

SENAl TOR TIT HURMAN'S SPEECH.

Senator Thurmans speech in the SEN
ate was hardly needed to make apparent
to the country the sins of the Admins
tration in the management of the Louisi-
ana case, and we cannot hope that it
will convince Senators who are deter
mined to sustain the Administration,
right or wrong. But as history of the
troubles of Louisiana, his speech has the
merit of strict truthfulness as well as rare
conciscness, and is altogether one of the
best discussions OF the subject from a
legal point of view,-LM y Tribune.

THE New Hampshire Republicans who
are asked to vote to sustain their party
at the election are bothered about the
proposed increase in taxation which they
think might be avoided if the Admins
tration would retr@nch in its expendi-
lures and its stealings. For instance, in
that State the internal revenue receipts
in 1866 were S., ,4S0, ,343; for the year end
ing June so, 1874, they were but $24S 6l9,
yet there are as many collection districts
and as many collectors kept in Office as
when the receipts were over $3,0OO,0OO.
1t is said that in one of the districts the
collector is compelled to divide his salary
with the editor of local Administration
organ, and there is no doubt that for the
purpose ofproviding for faithful followers
of Grant the expense of collecting the
revenue is made three times as great as
there is any need for. New Hampshire
men are generally pref y shrewd in mat
ters of dollars and cents, and this waste
of the public funds does not impress
them favorably.

A CABLE dispatch recently announced
that the subscription to the new Paris
loan was more than forty-two times the
amount required and there was much
comment on the patriotism of the Par
isians. Mail accounts throw some new
light on the matter. The loan is con-
nected with lottery, the drawings taking
place quarterly for seventy-6ve years,
and at each drawing about $4,000 will
be distributed in prizes ranging from
$500 to $40, 1000. The average French
man loves his country psssionately, and
he has also passion for lottery gamb.
ing. Besides his chances in the quar-
terly drawing. his bonds bear four per
cent. interest. But the Paris taxpayer
will have to bleed at every pore for those
liberal terms.

THE FRENCH REPUBLIC.

Much credit is being given to the Con-
servatives and Republicans the French
National Assembly for their wisdom and
patriotism in agreeing upon and carrying
through measure to establish reg
ular government The little disappoint-
ment of the Monarchists and their ma
lignant hostility would seem to Indicate
prospect of its having a lasting ar
rangement.
The new Constitution of FranCe-for
it amounts to that's contained in two
distinct laws. One provides the Legis-
leture shall consist of two bodies,
Chamber of Deputies and Senate, the
first elected by universal suffrage, The
President of the Republic is to be chosen
by the Senate and Chamber in joint bal
lot and by an absolute majority of votes.
His term is seven years, and he may be
reelected On the advice Of the Senate
he may dissolve the Chamber and then
a new one must be elected by the people
within three months. The Ministers are
responsible to the Chamber, but the
President is only responsible in case of
high treason. Whenever there is va.
canCy in the office of President the two
Chambers shall Immediately elect sue
cessor; and in the interval, the Council
of Ministers exercise the executive
power. The Constitution may be revised
whenever the Senate and Deputies, each
voting separately, either spontaneously
or on the recommendation of the Pres
ident, shall determine by an absolute ma
ority of each House. that it is necessary.
Then they meet together as National
Assembly to revise it; but no changes
can be made except by an absolute ma
jority of the joint body; and during the
present term Of office Of President Mac
Mahon there shall be no revision except
it be proposed by him. The seat of the
President is to be at Versailles.
The second law relates to the Senate.
1t is to be composed of 800 members, IS
to be elected by the present National
Assembly, and the other 225 by the cleo
toral colleges Of the departments and col
onies. These electoral colleges are to
be composed of the deputies of the de-
partments in the present Assembly, of
the members of the general councils, of
the members of the reimbursement coun-
ellis, and of delegates from the municipal
councils. The Senators chosen by the
departments and colonies are to hold Of
fee nine years, one-third of them going
out every three years. Those chosen by
the present National Assembly are to
hold office permanently. Occasional va
cancies in the Senate are to be filled by
the Senate itself Money bills must orig
mate in the Chamber of Deputies; other
bills may originate in either House. The
Senate is also to form a high court of
justice to try the President or the Min
isters, Or to investigate attempts against
the safety of the State.
Both laws have passed the National
Assembly, and are accordingly already
in force. They will no doubt be ex-
ecuted with all practicable promptness;
and when the Government which they
provide is fully organized France will
certainly be much more secure against
intrigues and cOH4S d'etab than it has
been at any time since the Germans
marched away from Paris,

THE prospects of the Alfonso govern
ment in Spain are not so promising as
when the young King made his triumph
al entry into Madrid. The Carlists north
Of the Ebro and the insurrectionists in
the Eastern department of Cuba hold
their ground obstinately, and have
rather gained than lost in recent en-
counters with the royal troops. 1t was
believed the accession of Alfonso would
be followed by immediate pacifcation in
Spain, and many moderate Republicans
assented to it because they thought they
saw in the establishment of the kingdom
an end of the exhausting war, which the
Republic was not able to bring to con-
clusion. When they find that they have
thrown away the Republican govern
ment and restored the Bourbons without
any resulting advantage, it is not likely
they will be enthusiastic in support of
the infantile monarchy --ExchaHgg.

THE GAINESVILLE Courier is a Republi-

publicans in Washington know but little
about the feelings of Ohio at the present

of this State will be permitted to have a
word to say about the Inauguration of
the coming political campaign in Ohio.
We feel that we are all abundantly able
to attend to this matter, and when we
need the services of Ohio Republicans at
Washington to fix up things for us we
will call upon them. They are entirely
too accommodating in volunteering their
services to fix up matters for us. 1t is
probable that the Republicans Of Ohio
will be called upon to do the voting, and
they would be pleased to have the priv
ilege of fixing up matters to suit them
selves"
