The Republican United States Sen
ate has from the verycommencement of
the present session opposed the reduc-
tions in the appropriations propo"ed
by the Democratic House, and labored
10 keep the expenditures of the depart
ments at the same high figures of more
prosperous times. Their opposition to
this reduction has been persistent.
The Senate has been supported by the
cry of the Republican press that the
Democracy was trying to cripple
the Government. At last, finding tina:
the Democratic House could not be
driven from its position in favor of
reducing the expenses of the Govern
ment, the Senate has exhibited signs
of yielding and indicates its desire to
assent to compromise. By the firm
ness of the House of Representatives,
there is thus a prospect of consider
able reduction of the appropriations
from the war figures which have been
maintained throughout by the Republi-
cans, This reduction will not be any
where near what it should be, what
the condition of the country demands,
nor what it would be if there was
Democratic Senate to cooperate with
the House of Representatives. The
failure of the Republican Senate to
come up to the necessities of the times
demonstrates the importance of secur-
ing Democratic Senate which in the
future may assist Democratic House
and Democratic President in enforc-
ing economy and reduction in expendi-
lures in all branches of the public ser+
vice.

The Ledger says: All the railroad
bonds issued by townships in Missouri,
amounting in face value to more than
three million dollars, are probably re-
duced to worthlessness by recent de-
cision OF the United States Supreme
Court.
The specific case involved 500, 200 Of
bonds given by Mount Pleasant twp. ),
Bates county, Mo-, as a subscription
to the Lexington Lake and Gulf Rail-
road but the decision applies apparent
ly to all the township railroad bonds
issued under the act of the Missouri
Legislature of 1868. The court pro-
nounces the act unconstitutional, in
providing that townships might issue
bonds Of two.third of the votes cast
by citizens at an election approved the
performance. The State Constitution
three years previous absolutely forbids
the Legislature to authorize any coun-
ty, city or town to lend Its credit to
any corporate enterprise unless two
thirds of the qualified voters at an
election assent. Between two thirds
of the qualified voters and two4
thirds of those who vote on a measure
there is obviously distinction of i'm
portance, since the former must repae-
sent the will of the people while the
latter might not.
1t is difficult to see how the court
could reach any other conclusion upon
such state of facts. Cass county,
which has $500, 900 of these bonds out
standing, will be out of debt entire,
and jackson, Pike, Lafayette and Ma.
rion counties will have their total
debts diminished by nearly or quite
half, in consequence of this decision.
There seems TO be no resource for the
unhappy bondholders, and it will
probably be many years before they
| put any money in Western railroads
again. Quite a large amount of the
township and county bonds Of the
Western States found takers here at
the East, having been tempted to do
so by the low price of the bonds and
the high rates of interest which most
of them promise. In many instances
the inducements named have been
strengthened by the personal appeals
of Eastern people now resident in the
States from which bonds are issued
AS rule, the wiser policy of invest
ments is to make them at home or as
nearly so as may be.

SPEAKER KERR.

The announcement that democrat, and
that so prominent a one as Speaker Kerr,
had, like hundreds of prominent republican
office holders and leaders, been caught in the
investigation net and was wriggling on the
ragged edge, sent such thrill of JOY through
the entire republican ranks, that now that
the whole thing is proved to have been base
and wicked SANDER, the papers and Bohemi'
ans of that party find il impossible to abandon
the dirty lie and confess that they had been
on false scent. They admit that the wit.
ness Harvey, the only one that pretends to
know anything about it, is man of bad char,
acter and wholly unworthy Of belief; that he
lied to his boarding house keeper by living
with a woman who he pretended was, but
who was not, his wife; that he lied in stating
under oath that Kerr was the only congress
man to whom he had applied for Green's
appointment, when several other congress.
men come forward and state that he applied
to, them; that Harvey, at the time he took
the money from Green, was VIGOROUSLY hard
up, and neither his character or habits lend
the most distant probability to his having
paid the money to Kerr, even had he agreed
to do so; and finally, that Harvey told Green
that the money was for himself and never
intlmated that Kerr was to have it.
Bat" say the republican slanderers,
"although these considerations, coupled with
Kerrs vehement and emphatic denials Of
ever having seen the money or even known
Harvey, make strong case in his favor, why
did Kerr procure the appointment for q stran'
ger, and he republican from another state,
when, as the Chicago Tribune puts it, at
least 500 young men in his own state and dis
trict were anxious for such an appointments
Kerr explains that fully and satisfactorily
He had made one appointment from his own
district and the man. on examination, was re-
iected Instead Of $500 other young men of his
own state" wanting the appointment, there
WAS for months no other applicant, when q
strong recommendation was presented to him
in favor of this man Green, who had served
with distinction IN a higher position in a
New York regiment during the war, and
without hesitation he recommended his ap-
pointment, and for tea years never gave the
matter another thought.
Every man of common honesty and decency
will accept Kerr's statement as against that
of the BLACKBOARD Harvey withouta moments
hesitation; especially will this be done in
view of the utter improbabillty that man
like Kerr, who had gone through twenty
years service in congress with clean hands
and without the faint of a suspicion, should
have been fool enough to place in the hands
of well known scoundrel like Harvey such
a spotless reputation tor the paltry sum of
$3.50. Even on the assumption that KerI's
honesty may not be entirely impcccable
his acknowledged general good sense ought
to shield HIM from the charge OF being the
biggest fool of his day.

CONGRESS.

The business Of the lower house of congress
is so well advanced that all the appropriation
bills except two have already been passed
and the rest can be finished up in week
but the refusal of the senate to accede to q
single dollar of the -etrenchments voted by
the house, and the determination to the house
to stick to its economies, may protract the
struggle between the two houses 10 weeks
nd even months. However, on an intimatior
from the treasury department that there will
be a deficiency of at least $l5,000000 at the
close of the present fiscal year, the republi
