The returns ot the foreign commerce ol
Great Britain for the month Of April
are the most remarkable yet published
The value Of the imports has. increased,

have decreased from $l0l, 100000 In
April, 1876, to ST, 100, 900 in April, 1875,

YIcroR HUGO oN AMNEsrY.

A debate on the amnesty question was
opened to-day. The tloor and galleries
were crowded with membersl and sPccta'
tors.
Victor Tiugo introduced a motion for
complete amnesty and addressed the SEN
ate. He urged that under the republic
the right Of pardon was prerogatiye OF
the assembly, this right should not be alb
dicated and could only be exercised in the
form Of an amnesty. He drew an elaborate
comparison between the Commune and
the Coup D'Ed OF the Napoleon
triumph, which he declared was greater
than that OF the Commune, yet the
magestracy swore allegiance to the crime
Of the ID Of December, while II decided
transportation, the gallies and shooting
against the commune. The hour had come
TO stigmatizc Coup. D'etat by voting for
amnesty, full and complete.
NJ. Hugo was listended to with deep
attention, and at the close Of his speech
was congratulated even by the opponents
OF amnesty. The Bonapartists remained
silent.
NJ. Talaine said the government finds
that there is nothing TO reply to in Hugo's
speech. The motion was then rejected
almost unanimously, about eight Radical
Senators voting for it. .i

SOME Of those persons who object TO
Secretary Bristow because he was reared
in slave State, should read up in his
history: There is no Andy Johnsonism
in his an,ecedents. He comes Of another
kind OF stock, to begin with, and never
trained with the came kind Of political
associates. He voted for honest old Abe
Lincoln in 1860, and was one OF the 800
men in Kentucky who dared 10 do so. ln
1864 he was one Of the %, ,5O2 citizens who
voted for the same man in that year. He
did not do as Andy Johnson did, vote for
breckenridge for President in 1860, and
then become Republican. He started
right and kept right. He was one
Of the few men Of character and
position in Kentucky who went into
the Union army in 1861. Tie
fought the good fight and kcpt'the faith,
and he has continued to keep it ever
since. lie voted for General Grant in
1868 and again in 1872. In 1865, when
Andrew johnson apostatized, Governor
Bramlctlc offered resolution at sol.
licr's meeting indorsing Johnson's policy,
the object being TO force Federal office
holders to show their hands. B. II. Bris.
tow was then United States District AT.
torney for Kentucky, and was present at
the meeting. He did show his hand. lie
moved an amendment, "undcrstanding
said policy to be that OF his lamented pre-.
decessor, Abraham Lincoln" and upon
that amendment spoke a follows:
HNo man In thb country bal more Of my lore,
respect, aud yeneTaliOn than Mr.. Lincoln. II We
must have Mr. JohnS0n's name 10 the resolution,
lei Us have Mr.. LlnrOln's too. II, AS understand
Mr. johnson, he Is carrying Oui the policy Of Mr.
Lincoln, Anl for Mr. johnson. With this expresa
understanding, lndorse Mr. johnson. But will
not inlOro him In the language Of every rebel
meeting In Kentucky, nor In the way o. those who,
while they indorsC hlm, rcaSsert the fundamental
aud originating principles Of the rebellion, the mis-:
cradle, AbOmlnAble, and Infamous resolutions OF
nineIy-eight."
Commenting on this part Of Mr., Bris.
tow's record, the Cincinnati Ga=tite make.
the following observation:
"B. Ii. BriStow never presented two
faces to the public, and never was afraid
to confess openly and to defend with his
sword, his vote, and bis voice tho faith
that was in him. With equal boldncss
he assailed, from his position as Secretary
ofthe Treasury, the Strongholds OF the
thieves WHO had organized TO rob the pub
lie treasury, and stood by his guns sue
cessfuliy, driving tho head villains into
the Penitentiary. Thus he has come to
be recognized s reform platform IN
himself" ra.
