FRIDAY e::::::::::::::::ArRIL 1875.

EVERY few years when hard times,
s0-called, recur q crusade is organized
against foreign labor. Formerly, from
1871 TO iS45, it was against European labor:
noT, thirty years later, it is against Chinese
and free colored labor This is all wrong
and exceedingly short sighted. Lands,
mines, and mills can only be made pre-
ductive by the employment Of labor. In
less they are productive they cannot pay
taxes, and it is their productIveness which
makes ''good times. l. is therefore the
interest of the Government, the interest Of
capital, and the interest Of labor TO be con-
stantly employed in the production ofsome-
thing to increase the tax paying capacity
of the country. 1t matters not what kind
Of productions we sell TO foreign countries
in exchange for the commodities which we
purchase Of them. We naturally send
them what we have the least use for, and
they will give the best return for. II they
want cotton we send them our surplus; if
they want gold, iron, lead, silver, and ma
chirery from our mines; or flour, wheat,
corn, cats. rye, barley, esculents, and pro-
visions from our agricultural products, We
send our surplus OF tnese products. In
times Of great activity and Development,
if we want railway iron and capital to a
greater extent than we can Supply, we sell
our notes and bonds to Europe payable in
gold, and to meet these st maturity or the
interest on them as they fall due we are
obliged to ship either gold or its equivalent
in produce. From the above it will be
easy to see that every man who obstructs
productive labor is an enemy to the welfare
Of his country.

Is IT PATRIOTISM Or MALICE !

The leader Of the opposition to Senator
Cc1kling in the New York Republican
convention to send delegates to Cincinnati
was George VIM. Curtis, who, as editor of
EI-per's Weekly. has dole yeoman service
for the Republican cause in other days.
Nj Curtis evidently has q personal dis
like Cor Sena tor Conkling, which he would
fam hsve the country believe canters in the
deepest and broadest principles of patriot
Ism, relating to the national good. A true
patriot, in a republican Government, GIN
only Vindicate his patriotism by cheerful
and prompt acQuiescence In the DEGREES of
the popular will. AIr. Curtis entered the
State convention, as was his right and
privilege, indulging feelings Of repugnlnce
towards Senator Conkling. He was well
coined to take part in the deliberations and
ventilate his hostility in any way consistent
with his sense Of duty and propriety He
was cheered on instead of being retarded in
his hostile movements. He spoke freely,
and raised his warning voice against what
seemed TO be the impending determination
of the convention without hindrance,
Whatever he said and did seemed to be re-
Ceived by the majority in the best of feel
ing and when the test came, out Of 432
votes in the convention. only 113, fraction
more than one fourth of all the members,
recorded their votes against the PRESENT.
tion Of Mr.. ConklIng'S name at Cincinnati.
The result was overwhelming, though
not unanimous, and represented the true
sentiment of at least nine tenths of all the
Republican voters in the State Presuming
that Mr.. Curtis was inspired by motives
and feelings Of genuine patriotism, the
country looked for his prompt and cheerful
acGuiescence in the decision OF the conven-
ton. But the indications are other wise.
He turns from the scene of defeat in the
convention to the columns of Harper's
Weekly, where he seems to follow up his
hostile intent with more deliberation and
vigor than characterized his onslaught as
q delegate. In this Mr.. Curtis and his CO.
adiutors are not in line with the Republi-
can party Of New York. neither can they
change the political current of the Empire
State. The Republican party there are
hearty, earnest and jealous in their devo-
ton to Mr- ConkliDg. for the reason that
they are proud Of him as a citizen and a
statesman, and regard his nomination as
eminently fit to be made. They do this as
Republicans, who cling to the Republican
party because they love IFS principles aud
have confidence in its tried statesmen. We
do not now see how Mr.. Curtis can in
honor vote against Mr.. Conkling at Gin
cinnsti, any more than he can after that
con EeDtion should it decide to put him in
nomination for the Presidency. 1t remains
for Mr.. Curtis now to demonstrate to the
country whether he is prompted by feel
inss Of patriotism or petty malice.

THE NATIONAL RErUB1dUAr FRIDAY MORNING.

Chamberlain's reply was that he cared not for
! rebels, and South Carolina Democrats de-
, served to be taxed to the utmost extent.
Even Treasurer Parker pro ested against the
issuing of these bonds, but Chamberlain and
Cardozo, being in the majority, carried their
point and the bonds were issued. And, yet,
in the face of such an unblushing recori, there
are thoee in South Carolina who would dare
foist this man upon the Republican party as
a delegate to Cincinnati.
Aud now Mr.. Ralph Meeker, Of the New
York Herald, has got Lis "foot in it''-per-
haps both feet In the Bastilc dc Kilbourn. lie
wants to be a martyr, and with the mar
tyrs stand. He has insinuated against Hon.
Mr.. Page and refuses to give the name of his
informant or tell all he docs or docs not know
about Mr.. Benefits management OF the
Herald and how 'sDug shakes 'em up" 1t is
not parallel with the Kilbourn case though.
1--WE fear Meeker will have TO make a clean
breast Of il.
II Hallett Kilbourn or any other American
citizen were in an English prison without
warrant of law this whole country would
now be swarming with indignation meetings
demanding his release or the alternative of
war. As it is, he has been deprived of his
liberty without due process of law nearly
four weeks, and we sit supinely wondering if
we are citizens of the United States, the
freest country the sun shines upon, with any
rights under the Constitution which the
House Of Representatives is bound to re-
speot.
And so the Hon. Charles James Faulkner
denies the soft impeachment regarding the
Harpcr's Ferry employees pay, does he: Well,
g it is more the pity for him, then. We did not
know but he would have had the sense to
wrap himself in rhinoceros' hide and keep
quiet about it, but as he denies 1t, there is
nothing left for US but to draw the record on
him. 1t occupies a large space in one of the
pigeon-holes of our library, labeled F., and
when we get through with the printing Of it
he will he quite willing to withdraw hts ac-
cusation of ignorance against Us. whether he
will that Of malice or not. The latter ques-
tiOn will deperd greatly upon his stock Of
Christian charity.
When in the course OF times mutations you
come in contact with an unhappy and disap-
pointed Democratic editor, you find the essence
of sadness and the fullness Of woe. A Sunbury
journalist, who has voted with the Democratic
party for the past quarter of a century, and
who has for the past year devoted his best en-
ergies In an attempt to nurse the rag baby into
manhood, says, since the defeat of the soft-
moncyitcs in the State, 'For years we have
been led like lamb to the slaughter, but the
time has come now for Us to kick over the
traces. We will not 60 back on the rag baby
We will 60 back on thcparty first" To be led
like lamb to the slaughter right along for a
quarter of q century must be very tiresome
entertainment. A lamb with an ordinary de-
gree Of selfrespect would have blated for O
change in the monotonous proceedings long
ere this.

Mr.. Sherman reported to the Senate yestCr-
day the Bureau of Engraving deficiency bill,
with amendments relating 10 the amounts for
which silver may be legal tender. Some one
should propose an amendment for the issue of
a new series of fractional notes, redeemable

receive speedy action.

Handsomely fits them for the companionship

From official returns made to the Bureau of
Statistics, and published in aEother column
of this mornings paper, It appears that the
falling Of in Immigration from Europe to the
United States, which has been noticeable ever
since the panic of 1875, still continues. 1t
appears from the returns in question that the
number Of immigrants arriving at New York
during the quarter ended March 81, 1876, was
only 9,O5G, whereas the number arriving dur
ing the corresponding period of 1915 was
12,449. During the first quarter of 1873 the
number of immigrants arriving at the same
port was S,149, or rather more than twice
The number arriving during the quarter just
ended.

SATURDAY. February 8, 1876.

SENATE.-Passed a consolidated bird
bill, which is supposed to combine all
the strong points of four House bills
and one senate bill. The bill passed
by a vote of 26 to 1.
S. B. No. 81, limiting the amount of
attorneys fees to be allowed by courts
in cases of foreclosure, etc., was dis
cussed in committee of the whole with
out any definite conclusion.
HoUsE.-The House adopted II. G.
r. No. 30, memorializing Congress to
provide for the payment of claims OF
citizens of Kansas arising from Indi-
an depredatiOns from 1860 to 1870.
SC. r. instructing the librarian to
procure copies of the bible for the use
of the legislature. gave the house an
opportunity to air its religious senti-
ments. Mr.. Hallowell doubted the
ability OF the average legislator to re-
peat the Lords Prayer, and moved
that the senators be supplied with fifty
copies of the Prayer printed on cards.
In the course of the debate Mr.. Dixon,
of Russell, said the LORDS Prayer had
never been correctly repeated by any
chaplain in the House. After a good
deal of chatting the bible resolution
and the Lords Prayer substitute were
both lost.
A movement to admit Messrs. Flick,
of Edward, and Adamson, of Rocks, as
delegates" in the legislature failed.
The House adopted a resolution
making 400 basis of superintendent
for representatives.

MONDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1876.
SENATK-Concurred in the House reso-
luton requiring the ways and means COM
mittee to report appropriations by Feb
ruary 10th.
The greater part Of the session was
spent in committee of the whole discuss
ing the State printing bill. The bill re-
ported by the printing committee was
advocated by members Of the committee.
The bill was opposed by several senators
or the ground that it proposed too great
an increase in the State printers fees.
Senator Criehton's motion finally prevail
ed, which was to send the bill back to the
committee on printing with instructions
to send for persons and papers, outside Of
Topeka, if necessary. Our opinion is that
the bill is fair one. The prices of last
winter are entirely to low.
HoUsE.-In the House Mr.. Dixon &C.
knowledged that Rev. Mr.. Blakesley had
properly repeated the Lords prayer.
The house refused to concur in the bird
bill as fixed by the Senate. A petition
was presented asking for State bounty
on children, the production and rearing
Of ten children emitting the mother to ST.
600, and all to stimulate matrimony."
There was large number of bills in
troduced, the titles of which must be read
to be appreciated.
A vigorous discussion took place over
bill to allow credit for good conduct in
the shape OF diminution Of term Of i'm
PrIsonment. The speakers were about
evenly divided for and against the bill,
and in the midst of the talk the commit.
tee rose and reported progress.
Mr.. Hallowell presented the thanks OF
the reporters to the House for its human
ity as exhibited In the construction Of q
new table,
