AN OUTRAGEOUS LAW.
THE BAZAAR OF NATIONS.

This entertainement opened on the
29th of March, and will remain open un-
til the 25th of this month. Thus far the
success has been brilliant. The Diree-
tor General is Mr.. Howard Spencer
Jones, and among the attractions he has
given, is Arab Life, illustrated; visit to
Jerusalem; New England Kitchen

The young ladies' who represent China,
and who sell 50 many Chinese things,
are among the prettiest of the members
of Mr.. Jones' Church; they are mostly
blondes, hence in this they are unlike

We recently gave notice of the arrest
of Hubbard Colby, of Mansfield on the
charge of embezzling 800 of the Gas
Company's funds, of which he was
Treasurer. His case was brought before
the Grand Jury and he was acquitted of
the charge brought against him.
On Friday morning, the 9th inst, the
brewery of Kwiss & Brother, near Find
lay was entirely destroyed by fire. Part
of the building was used as dwelling,
and the occupants had narrow escape
from being burned to death. The loss
is between $1,000 add SO, 800, with only
an insurance of 81 800.
It seems strange that men win allow
themselves to be swindled out of their
money by three-card monte men after
being warned SO repeatedly. Another
fool lost $3.50, while travelling in q

claims that the five persons elected from
the bar of the House were members of the
House of Representatives of Louisiana un-
der the constitution and laws Of that State.
Was it crime to prevent such an usurpa-
tionE We think not.
These Louisianians need a lesson taught
them. The spirit of the rebellion is en-
tirely too rampant in that part of the coun-
try. In fact it is too rampant all over the
South. If it is not checked, and checked
at an early day, the time is not far distant
when every Republican will have to be-
take himself north of Mason and Dixon s
line and stay there, or coAtent himself
with being a newer of wood and drawer
of water. The condition of affairs at the
South demands the immediate attention OF
Congress. Inaction or delay is simply an
Endorsement of the violence already perpe-
trated and license for its continuance.
What remedies should be applied is not for
us to say in this article, but if Congress be
in doubt during the time it is maturing the
proper legislation let it authorize the Presi-
dent TO pursue the course suggested by
Gen. Sheridan in his dispatch to the Presi-
dent. Some such measure is needed in
order to restore peace, and, believing that
Sheridan plan would bring it about, we
heartily indorsc it and recommend the
same 10 the careful consideration Of Con,
ErCSs.

South America annually, as It. would have no
perceptihle effect on the value here, provided
redemption he commenced with sufficient
stock Of coin on hand and the minis are oper-
ated to their full capacity.
The plan, says the Alta, ''is a renewal of
Mr.. Richardson's absurdity." Now, let US sec
what the plan of Mr.. Richardson was. Atthe
time of the Jay Cooke & Co. panic, and for
some time thereafter, silver bullion was drug
in the markets of this country at from Ill to
1121E cents per standard ounce, the coming
rate of silver being 1874 40 cents per standard
ounce. Silver coins were, in point Of fact,
attainable by the Treasury on more favorable
terms than a corresponding sum of green
backs. Will any fair man say that there
would have been anything "absurd" in OBJ
tanning silver coin as above indicated, and
paying it out over the counter. l apprehend
not.
Unfortunately Mr.. Richardson permitted
himself to be driven from the proper course by
the fear of driving in the fractional currency.
Had the plan been adhered to, $40, 100000 in
silver coin would be in circulation today in
the Atlantic and Western States. Mr.. Rich
arison's plan contemplated the circulation of
subsidiary silver coins concurrently with frac-
tional notes, while the Senate bill expressly
provides for the withdrawal of the fractional
currency, and the issue and circulation of sill
yer in its place, and cannot with any degree
of fairness be termed q renewal of the Rich
ardson plan.
1t will be difficult for the Alta to point out
single shipment to Europe of such coin during
the last eighteen months, and its conclusions
are therefore somewhat hasty and incorrect.

TIE REBEL ATTACK ON THE
PRESIDENT

The discussion evoked by the Thurman
resolution and its tone is of a character to
set the leaders of the Republican party to
thinking. We cannot shut our eyes to the
fact that at the late elections the DCmOc-
racy obtained a victory, no matter how
barren itmay be considered by Republicans,
that has served 10 arouse a spirit of lawless-
ness all over the South The attempt
made in Louisiana to seize the government
Of that State, and the recent overturning
of State government in Arkansas in vio-
lation Of all law, if left unchecked and I'M
rebuked, may well be regarded as pre-
cedents for the Democrats to follow in Mis-
sissippi and South Carolina. The question
now before the Senate is not so much
whether the information asked by the
Thurman resolution shall be furnished as
1t is whether the President and General
Sheridan shall be sustained in the course
pursued in Louisiana. 1t appears very
plainly, from the tone Of the discussion
INDUCED in by the Democracy, that the
resolution was introduced as a preteXt to
make on attack on the President. The
question, as the matter now stands, is,
shall the President be sustained? If
the debate had been confined to the resO-
luton and its search after information it is
net Of such a character as TO demand any
extended discussion; but its advocates have
gone beyond this, and under the pretext
furnished by the resolution denied TO him
the authority il is claimed he exercised
Ordinarily condemnation follows an ascer-
tainment of facts, but in the present case
the condemnation comes before demand
for the facts has passed into the form of an
authoritative demand
The attack in the present instance comes
from that class Of men who, during the
early days of the rebellion, could find no
warrant or authority in the Federal Con-
stitution TO suppress the rebellion, or coerce
State that attempted to secede from the
Union. 1t comes from q class that could
discover such weaknesses in the General
Government as gave license to rebellion,
but that had neither the capacity nor pa
triOtism TO find any power or authority in
the Constitution of the United States to
either perpetuate or maintain itself. 1t
comes from that class WHO, believing in the
right of secession, took up arms to destroy
the Union, or from that other class. who
being traitors at heart, lacked the physical
courage to take up arms in support of the
doctrines they advocated.
Why this attack? Ordinarily men are

Perhaps their willingness to compromise
upon it is the best evidence of its general
soundness.
1t recognizes the importance of redemp-
ton of legal-tenders in coin, and fixes a
date for its accomplishment 1t recognizes
the principle of free banking, and allows
1t to go into immediate operation.
1t provides for the immediate redemp-
ton in silver coin of nearly fifty millions
of fractional currency. 1t provides for a
contraction of eight tenths as much green
back circulation as may be added to the
issues of the national banks until the vol
ume of $500, OOO,O 900 of the former is
reached.
We are bound to confess that this is a
fair compromise of the conflicting views of
the members of the party, and We think
the bill should be passed at once, without
further discussion, in the same spirit which
secured its introduction into and passage
by the Senate. 1t is to be hoped that
every Republican will be in his place in
the House to-day when the bill comes up,
and, refraining from controversy, strive in
every legitimate way for its immediate
passage.

THE SENATE FINANCE BILL.

1t is well known to those who have
taken the trouble to watch the tenor Of the
numerous articles which have appeared
from time TO time in these columns upon
the subject Of specie payments that the
provisions of the Senate bill now before
the House do not comport with our views
Of what is needed We have advocated
the simultaneous adoption of free national
banking and coin redemption of legal
tenders. We have proposed redemption at
an earlier date than is named in this bill
July 4, 1876, instead of January 1, 1879
the Treasury for this purpose until the
surplus over the contributions to the sink
ing fund and the payments Of interest
upon the public debt should have reached
one hundred millions, which we believe
would be sufficient to enable the Secretary
of the Treasury to carry out the project of
coin redemption. We have commended
also for other provisions which are not
necessary to be repeated now.
We are fully satisfied, however, that we
shall not be able to convince both Houses
of Congress that we possess all the financial
wisdom in the nation. There are many
members who still cherish opinions of their
own, and we do not doubt that they enter
tain them just as honestly and sincerely as
we can possibly cling to those we have ad-
vocated. We recognize in the Senate bill
an effort on the part of the Republicans to
harmonic conflicting views upon the sub
ject. 1t is,an effort which reflects credit
upon thepartY. The Senate bill is, there
fore, all things considered, the best meas
ure of finance that can be expected to pass
Congress at the present session. 1t does
not entirely satisfy the extremists of either
the paper money or specie paying schools

THE New York Times of yesterday uu-
dcrtakes TO read Gen. Sheridan lecture
upon constitutional law, but, in so doing,
it necessarily apologies for the White
League murderers, whom Gen. Sheridan
very properly characterizes as ''banditti. "
The Ku-Klux of 1S7O-'71 were suppressed
by an act of Congress, enforced by the
United States courts, with the aid Of United
States troops. No one now sheds any
tears over the blood thirsty and inhuman
wretches who are expiating their crimes in
the Albany penitentiary. White Leaguers,
arming and drilling in secret for political
purposes, are an insurTeCtionary body in
every sense of the word, and Congress
clearly has the power to provide for their
summary suppression. The plea of the
Times that they have always respected the
authority of the United States is the baldest
falsehOod conceivable The Times knows
better, and stultifics itself in Uttering such
reckless misrepresentation. The White
Leagues OF Louisiana and Alabama have
never respected the authority of the United
States, save when they believed they were
going TO be whipped But what more
could be expected of the editor of the Times,
who has had 10 plead the privileges Of an
alien to avoid jury duty. Republicans are
asked to accept the teachings of this I'M
naturalized Englishman, who is offended
against the whole Republican party, be-
cause President Grant chooses to no longer
invite him to dinner VIII Mr.. George
Jones never get his eyes open to the
treachery and deceit which this impostor is
still practising upon him? If he could
only see how Republicans in and out Of
Congress sneer at and spit upon the poor
Times, and prefer for their daily reading
even the Tribune and the World, with all
their sins upon their heads, he would per-
haps wake up from the stupOr into which
he seems TO have fallen, shake off the poi
sonous presence that has so long envelOped
him, assert his own convictions once more,
see his subscription list increase, and his
paper reinstated in the affections of the
Republican party. Let Mr.. Jones, for
whom all our leading Republicans still
have sincere personal respect, cast out his
whole foreign crew, his Jenningses, and
Garzimkis or SpoOners with all their other
disreputable aliases, and replace them with
men who have convictions and can tell the
trr,tI,
