Mr.. Holman moved to suspend the
rules and adopt n resolution declaring it
unwise and inexpedisnt at this time; that
specific and arbritarty period should
be prescribed by law atwhich legal tender
notes Of the United States should be paid
in coin by the Secretary OF the Treasury,
and that therefore the act entitled an act
to provide for the resumption ofspecie
payment approved January Ia, 1875,
ought TO be repealed, and instructing the
Committee on Banking and Currency nj
as early period rs practicableto report
TO the House a bill for that purpose. Tho

in the continuation OF the appropriation
for such public works and objects as are

Republican Purity.

We have been telling our Democratic acctrsers
and assuring our Republican friends who arc
in haste to get frightened at bugahoos that the
Republlcan party was the least corrupt of any
party which had ever governed the country.
Some OF our friends. although inclined to think
very nightly OF Republican principles, have
still at times thought it necessary to confess
that There was something wrong which the
Administration had not righted. Aud when
we showed such that oar ratio of losses to
landings vas as nothing. compared; with
those OF our predecessors. many Republicans
were disposed to make light of the statement.
ana insist That we are an impure party, be-
cause the whole Detective Press howletl it out
III each edition, and harped upon it OIL every
occasion. Finally these people, who were 40
ready to make implied confessions. became
wiling to compromise ona reformation with
Iii the Republican party" This, we have insist
Ell, has been one OF the noblest features of the
Repqbllcan organization, that whenever a
case OF defalcation, mafeasance or corruption
mas peen charged upon probable cause, it has
at once been investigated by the Administrs-
zion, ana II sustained has been prosecuted,
and the interest of the Government secured
as far as possible. And, now, we have al,
ofIlcal Statement from the Commissioner of
customs, which shows that the losses on the
corrections by custom officers from 1880 to-
1860 were $50 in each $4,000, while those
1ronl 1850 to 1873, under Republican rule,
We're only SIS in each 100000, or less than
one-tenth OF the ratio that ruled during the
preceding thirty years. similar comparison
OF disbursements show loss from 1880 to-
1850 OF SIG in each $4,000, while from 1860 to-
1879 the loss on the same account was only
S54 in each 100000 We submit, therefore.
that, in view of these facts it is time that Re-
publlcans should hold up their heads and
point with pride to this EVIDENCE of the COM
paratlve purity of their party officials, AMI
cram the lies OF the Democracy aud its allies
of the Detective Press down the tlfoats of
their base calumniators instead of giving colo,r
OF truth to them by a sort of quasi admission
OF their correctness Republicans Of

Troubles of a Lawyer.

In the case of Richard S. Parks, a lawyer,
Of Page county, sentenced to two years in the
Albany penitentiary for forging the name Of the
Register in Bankruptcy, and brought before
Judge Bond on writ of hd1eas corpus, Judge
Bond on Saturday delivered the following
opinion:
The writ of habeGs corpus issued in this
case was npon tie petition Of the prisoner al
leging he was Illegally detained by the mar
shall OF the Western District of Virginia, COM
handing tbs marshal to produce the person of
the petitioner, and to make return thereto of
the cause Of said Parks capture and detention.
The marshal has made return that the prison
er is in Jail in Harrisouburg, Virginia, in his
custody, by virtue of nsittinaus of the District
Court OF the United States for the Western
District Of Virginia, which is in the words fol-
lowing. Here follows copy of @ittimus.l
The petitioner alleges, however, that the
court had no Jurisdiction to make such 9 COM
mtment because he was charged in the indict-
ment mentioned therein with all offence which
the District Court of the Western District had
no jurisdiction to try, and that its Judgment
upon the verdict rendered upon the Indictment
is absolutely void.
The petitioner produces the record Of the
proceedings in the District Court in his case
in support Of his petition and in response to
the marshal's return.
III lHulctluGHI Is UldWu Uiiuef SeCClOll
5, 4l9 of the Revised Statutes, which provides
that every person who forges the signature
OF any Judge, register, OF other officer OF any
court OF the United States for the
purpose Of authenticatiEg any proceeding OF
document,'' shall be punished in the manner
prescribed in that section.
The Indictment has three counts. The first
charges that Parks .'did forge the signature OF

The Cabinet Changes.


It is the custom to DECLARE that PRESIDENT
Grant always CREATES surprise when ne makes
a Cabinet appointment This declaration was
frequently made regarding the Cabinet changes
announced yesterday. Yet little reflection

have only one cabinet Minister from New York,
while Pennsylvania and Ohio, two great Middle
States, are given equal and satisfactory repre-
scntation. AT the same time " VIII pc ADMIT
