The Amnesty Debate,


The Washington correspondent of the
Springfield Republican in discussipg the
amnesty debate has this to say: ''This is not ex-
actly the bloody shirt over again. 1t is rathera q
controversy between Republicans and rebels
over the facts of history, and the moment Sam
Cox or any other Democrat attempts to deny
the atrocities of Andersonville-the moment
that 'confederates' on the floor of Congress
attempt to assert that the rebel prisoners in our
hands were not treated better than ours were
0y the rebel authorities, they have got los
ing fight on their hands The North won't
believe them. And here lies the cunning of
this movement. 1t is like the red flag to the
belligerent bull. Blaine and Morton are bent
on drawing out the rebel and the old copper
head and Cox came out in some parts of his
speech in the old, mean, dirty style. He fat
tered the 'confederates'; he sneered at tie col
ored brother The colored troops fought no.
blyp he said in his most facetious style, and 100
copperheads and 79 rebels laughed and cheered
az the top OF their voices. Cox was on the
right side of the quarrel in some respects, and
yet the tone of his speech was simply villain
GUS. When he was through, the feeling came
over me stronger than ever that the success of
the Democratic party next fall, is impossible.
FOR the simple reason that no gentleman, no
christian, no philanthropist can vote with it.
The leaders all sDeer at the darky,' These
southern men for the most part despise him,
and are not willing to give him his rights. 1
know that do no injustice to the 20 ex-rebels
in the House when L say that one and all, they
desplse The black man as citizen. They ac-
cept his citizenship simply because they can't
help it. Now no man at the North who ever
was Republican, or whoihas a spark of man
hood, can ever join such a party. What be-
Blaine and Morton and the other Republican
leaders here see their advantage, and wish to
so far refresh the minds of northern people on
the old issues as 10 forcibly impress them with
the idea that it is not safe to entrust the gov
er1ment to the men who, ishort time ago,
tried to destroy it,"

s1O0 greenbacks has ranged during the week
between $50 SS and SS9 80.

A POINT has come up in connection with
the projected abolition of the twenty-second
joint rule, the Importance of which is great.
The Republicans in the Senate hold that
joint rules to be binding must be adopted by
both House and Senate, and there being
new House every two years, each new House
must necessarily adopt anew the joint rules,
and they cannot be binding on the Senate un-
less they are at the same time on the House.
1t follows by this that all joint rules must be
adopted by both houses of each Congress. 1t
is pretty certain the Senate will refuse TO
adopt the twenty-second joint rule, while
adopting all the rest, and, if their interpre-
tation of the law be correct, this will abolish
the rule, no matter whether the house ,e-
enacts it or omits it. 1t has been customary
for the rules Of each House and joint rules to
remain in force without re-enactment by
each Congress; but it is important that this
Democratic House has already given indorse-
ment to the views held by the Republicans,
by formally re-enacting the rules of the last
House on the first day of the session. The
Republicans, through Mr.. Garfield, objected
to this action, making the point of order
that the rules were in force without declara-
tion of tina. sort. This was overrued by
Speaker Kerr, who stated that "the Consti-
tuition gives to each House the right 10 adopt
as its own Iules, whatever may have been
the rules or orders of preceding House. In
reference to this matter they cannot super
sede the constitutional right to adopt its
own rules" The Senate will now do this,
and, emitting the twenty-second joint rule,
it will cease to be a law, regardless of
anything the Democrats can do. OF course
no new rule can be enacted without the con-
currence of the House.

THAT is an excellent platform foreshadowed
in the address of the national Republican
committee. All men are invited to rally
under the Republican banners who are op-
posed to the reviving of sectional issues and
who desire to promote friendly feelings and
permanent harmony throughout the country
by maintaining and enforcing all the constitu-
tional rights of every citizen, including the
free exercise of the right of suffrage without
intimidation and without fraud, and who are
in favor of continued prosecution and punish
ment of all official dishonesty and of economi-
cal administration of the government by hon
est, faithful and capable officers who are in IA
vor OF making such reforms in the government
as experience may from time to time suggest;
who are opposed to impairing the credit of
the nation by depreciating any of its obliga-
tions and in favor of sustaining in every way
the national faith and financial honor; who
hold that the common school system is the
nursery of American liberty and should be
maintained absolutely free from sectarian con-
troll; who believe that for the promotion of
these ends the direction of the government
should continue to be confded tc those who
adhere to the principles of 1776, support them
as incorporated in the constitution and laws
and who are in favor of recognizing the funda-
mental principle of national unity in this
centennial anniversary of the birth of the
republic.

The closing speech of Mr.. Blaine on the
amnesty bill was a great triumph. He showed
concusively by the record that the Southern
leaders are still actuated by feelings of re-
venge. and that they are looking forward to
the probability of new conflict He showed
too, that the sufferings at Anderscnville were
matter of common notoriety at the South,
and that efforts to ameliQrate them were op-
posed by Jefferson Davis. Messrs. Hill and
Cox were LETT in very limp state. The
former was proved to be the author of the
Infamous "black-fag resolution" and the lat
ter to have voted against that exchange OF
prisoners which he now assails the govern
ment for not having effected. The only ar
g1ment that Mr.. Cox adduced in reply was
that Mr.. Blaine was hyena.

The National Woman Suffrage Associa-
tion announces that it will hold its eighth
semi-annual convention in Washington on
the 9th instant. In this centennial year,
when the watchwords are " No taxa
ton without representation and "Govern-
ments derive their just powers from the
consent of the governed" the members
of the Association ask the following ques-
tions, and bespeak for them the respectful
consideration of the people: On what just
ground is discrimination made between men
and women? Why should women more than
men be governed without their own consent {?
Why should women more than men, be de-
MED trial by a jury of their peers? On what
authority are women taxed while unrepre-
sented? By what right do men declare
themselves invested with power to legslate
for women?

In its business review of the week the Nd-
ton says: The foreign money markets have
Deen moTo-o--lAss- -agitated during the week
by the apprehension of political complications
In regard to the Eastern question, but at the
close there was more tranquil feeling. The
Bank of England took another step to pre-
vent the flow of gold from its vaults to the
Continent by putting its minimum discount
rate up to five per cent. This step proved
effectual so far as Paris was concerned; and
although exchange between London and
Paris has not been changed to the degree of
warranting the shipment of gold from the
latter to the former, yet as the week closed
the rates of sterling at Paris were tending to
that point. Exchange between New York
and London has continued steady, all the
bills on London against the recent negotia-
tion of Baltimore and Ohio and Philadelphia
and Reading bonds not having been sold ap-
parently. These bills have been taken by
bankers who have been importing United
States bonds, and who, had it not been for
this supply, would have been compelled
to send gold to London-the available supply
of commercial paper having been no larger
than was needed to meet the demand of mer-
chants having remittances to make. The
gold market has been firmer than during the
preceding week, on account of the foreign
news respecting the Eastern question, and
because it is seen that, unless something in
tervenes to check the return of United States
bonds to this country, gold will soon begin to
figure in our exports. The New York banks,
however, are gaining gold by reason of the
Treasury interest payments, and now hold
nearly $25,000,000. The condition of the
money market has not been notable. except

In the review of Matthew Arnod's new
book, "God and the Bible,'' in the PRESS of
last Saturday. comparison was drawn between
the English and American editions in which
the mechanical structure of the latter was
very sharply criticised in the ardor of drawing
vivid contrasts. While it is true that the En-
glish edition is finer than the American, it
costs correspondingly larger sum. The Amer
ican book is as we'll worth the dollar and
half which it costs as the English book is worth
its two dollars and half. There must always
be difference of opinion between those who
think it sacriege to put good literature into
cheap garb and those who think that the best
books should be put into form cheap enough
to make them accessible to everybody. We
publish the following letter of protest with
the exception of few personal references-in

The temperance men and women of Maine, of all
religious political and temperance organizations, and
those not connected with either, invited to meet
at Meonian Hail. in Augusta, on Wednesday, Janu-
ary 19h 1876, at II o'clock A. NJ for the purpose of
holding a Mass Temperance Convention.
This being the centennial year of our national ex-
stence, 1t is highly important and fitting that we
should meet in convention and declare ourselves free
and independent of King Alcohol, and take every
means in our power to declare against him war of
utter determination.
Among the many questions that it may be proper
to consider, the following are important :-"What
can be done to aid the reform clubs in their noble
WORK. HOW can we encourage and help those no.
BILE women who are organizing crusade movements
and women christian temperance societies?" SIS
there not necessity that something should be done
to more sffectuaily suppress the sale Of Intoxicating
GUS religious denominations Of the State take more
decided and active measures in this great cause?"
"Ought not the legislative, judicial executive and
municipal bodies of state to take stronger and
more decisive measures for the suppression of the
great evil of intemperance?" Should not the yari-
GUS temperance organizations of the state receive the
encouragement of every friend of temperance?
1t seems to us that there has not been for several
years a more favorable crisis in the temperance
movement In this state than the present. The work
done by the several temperance organizations to-
gether with the cooperation of the faithful women
engaged in this work, should encourage every friend
Of the cause and prompt to renewed diligence.
The convention will probably be continued through
thursday. While we cannot promise free accommo-
dation to those attending the convention yet we will
make an effort to secure board at reduced rates. The
usual reduction of fare may be expected on the sew
eral railroads and steamboats,,
