Tho reoent debates IN the House

The recent debates in the House
of Representatives, upon the
Amnesty Bill shows one thing pret-
" cOnclusively, and that is that the
majority have no leaders in that
body worthy the name. There is
no parliamentary tact among them,
if we are to look upon Randall and
Hill and Sammy CoN as the best
timber they have. They cannot en-
ginaer a party measure, even though
they have the force of numbers with
them. Failure IN itself is bad
enough, but the false and ridiculous
plight IN wich they are placed, re-
coils with damaging effect upon the
party they represent. The NOR
t;6cation of the defeat suffered in
the outset with Blaine and Garfield,
is one of the most marked that our
Congressional proceedings have for
a long time exhibited. These cham
pions of democracy and rebeldom,
are of little account in such hands
as by their temuerity they fell into
All their hiding places and subter-
fuges were swept away with the ut
most ease-such as not to require
even ordinary earnestness. The
game of bluff that Hill resorted to
in the hope of covering some of his
positions, served like all OF his
other founderings, only to sink him
deeper in the slough. In such men
as we have mentioned, who met
and defeated this effort to extend
the amnesty relief to JEFF Davis,
without asking for it, the minority
have strong hope and much occasion
for pride. This discussion is in'
structive in another point of view.
Mere intellectual ability weighs but
little in the scale with experience
and parliamentary tact. The ma
iority have a large proportion Of
new members, who bring little or ne
strength to oppose the experience O
such men as Blaine and Garfield
The latter have had long years o
discipline and experience. This i
seen and appreciated upon such oc
casions as that alluded to. What
, ever may be the objections to givin'
! men lease upon power and posi
! tion, it cannot be denied that thei
t capacity for usefulness is greatly en-
e larged by continuance in Office, an
e increased familiarity and READINGS
: in the discharge of their duties
:, These gentlemen showed themselve
d consummate tacticians and debatel
of much more than common resoul
IF ces and power. Don't fail to rea

HURRAH FOR GEORGE I

back Mass Convention, at Lancaster.
At first | did not know whether to re-
gard it as compliment or an insult,
though am satisfied the latter was not
intended, from the character of some
of the gentlemen in the convention,
although, thus far, | have heard the
names of but three of those who were
in attendance. I was absent from
the county when the convention was
called, and never had any intimation
of it from any source whatever. The
honor sought to be conferred was as
unsolicited as it was unexpected, as
the position is ono to which | never
aspired.
1t was doubtless thought from my
recent uery successful failure before

Mr.. HazsIton IN the Campaign.

4
We are pleased to note the fact
that our candidate for Congress is
doing gallant service for the Repub-
lican cause in this district. His late
speeches in Lafayette and Iowa
counties, following his canvass in
Grant, have had marked effect up.
on the people; and reports from those
counties indicate favorable result
in November.
In his speeches Mr.. Hszelton at
tacks nobody but the "solid South"
an d Democracy. He has been very
favorably received where he has spo-
ken. The following notice and re-
sumo of his speech at Mineral Point,
appears in the last Tribune.
No political speech was ever bet
ter received by Republicans in Min
eral Point than that of Hon. Geo. G.
Hazelton, our candidate for Congress
last Saturday evening. Notice of
the meeting not having been receiv-
cd in time to be fully advertised out
side of the city, the attendance was
not 80 large as i. ought to have been.
Yet the hall was we'll filled all sit.
ting room being occupied, and many
standing to hear.
Mr.. Hazelton was introduced by
Alex Wilson, Esq, and before u doz-
on words were uttered the audience
was captivated. For an hour and a
quarter the speaker held the atten-
ton OF every ear, depicting the dan
ger that would sureIy,follow a change
of the control of the government
from the hands of those who had
preserved it through rebellious war,
to the hands of those who had de-
voted their best efforts TO it's destruc-
ton. The dangerous significance of
Tilden's election, accomplished as it
must be by the solid vote of the elev-
en- states lately in rebellion, and still
unrepentant, with the aid of only
about 40 electoral votes from the
North, was forcibly presented. The
state sovereignty heresy the
state is superior to the general gov
ernment-that this is not nation,
bat merely confederation of states,
which may be severed at will by any
one or more states-in which Tilden
was a firm believer By his own de-
clarotion, was depicted, with al its
fearful tendencies. That the ascen-
dency of the Democratic party to
power, mainly through the support
of solid South, would be followed
by grand raid upon the national
treasury by rebel claimants for dam
ages sustained by the war, the speak
er fully believed, and gave such for
chile reasons for the faith that is in
him, that no candid man could fail to
be convinced of the correctness of
his opinion.
No account of the speech which
our memory or space can give, would
do it Justice. The universal verdict
is that it was never exceIled, if equal
ed, in Mineral Point. It's effect upon
our people is already apparent, and
with confidence we predict that the
count of votes in this city will show
no falling off of Republication.
