The commission appointed by the Secretary

is accused of serious Irregularities, while his
tables of commerce and navigation are grossly
incorrect. The commission recommend q thor

change in the manner of gathering and pub

Curious Thanksgiving Custom.

At the annual dinner at Clements Inn
Gondon), after the banquet of that
learned society, members and guests rise
on the removal of the white cloth and wit
ness the 70 lowing Thanksgiving in pan
tomime: Before the President of the sec
ond table the butler puts mass of bread,
consisting of four loaves adhering to each
other by their kissing crusts; taking this
mass of bread in his hand, the said Pres
ident of the second table slowly raises it
above his head to the full reach of his
arm, and after few moments pause
brings it down with laundering whack
on the oaken table. A second time the
bread is elevated and struck upon the
board. Yet third time the same feat is
performed; and then, before the strangers
have had time to recover from their as
constituent, the grave actor has thrown
the bread so that it slides and spins down
to the bottom of the long table, where it
is caught up by the butler, who instantly
runs out OF the dining hall with it in his
outstretched hands. The whole grace is
typical. The four loaves represent the
four gospels; the three elevations are in
reverence of the three persons of the
Sacred Trinity; the manner in which the
bread is cast down the table indicates
the hberality with which the bread of
life was given to mankind; and the alac-
rity with which the butler ran out of the
ball exemplifes the alacrity with which
Jealous servants hasten to distribute the
bread of spiritual knowledge to those
who hunger for it,

FORTY.FIFTH CONGRESS-.
Excerpts from the House Debates on the
Ewing Resumption Repeal Bill

Excerpts from the House Debates on the
Ewing Resumption Repeal Bill
Mr.. Chittenden, of New York (holding up q
$40 legal tender note), said he was very much
mistaken if the bill before the House was not
downright reputation. The note in his hand
was the promise of the Government to pay him
$40. but no date was fixed for payment The
note was issued in 1875, and, on the 18th
day of that year, Congress had enacted a law
declaring that this debt of the Government
should be paid on the LIST of January, 1879.
The Government must keep its promise faith
fully, or it would become the leader of all the
repudiators in the land, including every de-
faulting town, city, and State. The question
of honor was the central and vital point in the
discussion. He criticised the opening speech
made by MIR. Phillips, saying the contraction
Of the currency under the Resumption act had
no more to do with the present sufferings of
the country than it had to do with the frozen
feet of the Turks in Schipka pass. The imita-
ton of paper currency should be left to adjust
itself under free banking system guided by
the eager, intelligent, aggressive enterprise of
the people. There was but one alternative, an
exclusive greenback currency subject at all
times to the caprice of Congress. The pending
bill was hurtful, discreditable and without ex-
cuse. Ths country was now shaken by the
wild blasts of grand currency Illusion which
had swept over the plains of the South and
prairies Of the West. carrying the House by
storm and threatening to inguf national in
tegrity. The sreenback was the NEST power
full enemy the country had ever encountered,
slavery alone excepted. 1t was fraud, it was
sham it famiiarized the individual and pub
lie conscience with shams. 1t had muddled all
the springs Of honest thrift and solid enter
prise, had confused and m1sled public judg-
ment, had sapped the courage and wisdom of
the Federal treasury, and had given immense
comfort to demagogues.
MIR. FELTON, made speech in favor of the re-
peal of the Resumption act. He bitterly de-
nounoed the capitalists of the East. Address
ing himself to Mr.. Chittenden, he said: "And
yet you undertake to comfort the country by
telling it that all these things will right them
selves. Yes, know that these things will
right themselves when they have touched the
bottomless pit of despair and poverty. Look
yonder at that stornl-driven ocean Hurri-
cane and darkness are upon the deep. Signal
guns are firing every minute. Ships are going
down by the hundred. Thousands of precious
lives are being ingulfed, and, in the midst of
all ruins there (pointing over to Chittenden)
stands the wrecksr waiting for the spolls and
assuring those 10 perl of destruction that all
those things will right themselves"
MIR. Townsend, of New York, said resump-

ton. He was in favor of keeping the legal
tender cul rency intact until it should have the
same purchasable value as gold. AS Repub-
hcan he scorned the idea of reputation. In
behalf Of an honest constituency, who would
bring their all if necessary and lay on the
counter of the treasury as a free Offering, in
order to sustain the honor and credit of the
country, he hurled back the charge that the
projectors Of the present bill were taking q
step toward reputation by demanding the re-
peal of the Resumption law, and he bra led it
as unwarrantable and untrue. The opponents
OF the bill characterized the legal-tender notes
as rag-money. and called upon the people to
listen to the sweet music of jingling the single
standard. Rag-money, indeed! When that
charge came from the Bourbon Democrats who
opposed the issue, and the Government
who issued it, it was at least consistency,
but he would not attempt to disown the
offspring OF the Republican party. 1t was
with these rags that the Government had been
enabled to build ships which carried the
United States flag over every ocean. It was
with these rags that the grandest army that
ever battled in defense of law and right was
equipped. 1t was by virtue Of these rags that
the flag OF the Union floated to-day over the
Capitol Of the nation. These same rags every
member gladly received from the Sergeantat-
Arms. The people had not asked for
the decentralization of silver nor for
the Resumption act. The practical effect of
the Resumption act has been to foster distrust,
to impair confidence, to lock up currency, to
paralyze industries, to shrink values, to swell
the dockets of the State courts with suits for
collection, and to swell the dockets of the
United States courts with petitions in bank
ruptcy. It bad wrought ruin enough, and
therefore he was in favor of it's repeal He
appealed to all sides and sections to aid in re-
moving from the statute book threat by
means of which labor and enterprise had suf-
fered quite enough.

The Greenbackers hold the balance of power

The Republican United States Senators were
again in caucus last week. The purpose of the
caucus was to hear and consider the report to
be made by the Caucus Committee, which Wis
tied the President, and to determine what
future action if any should be taken. All the
Senators at the interview expressed themselves
to the caucus convinced that the President was
thoroughly sincere in his belief. They also
reported that the President said he was very
DESTROYS to be in harmony with the leaders of
the party, and was gratifed to have had
the opportunity of ascertaining thus definitely
and clearly the views expressed. Advice and
candid criticism would always be welcome to
him, and he hoped and believed there would
be less cause for complaint in the future. In
any event, if there should be differences of
opinion, there need be no occasion for ill-feel-
ing, and he trusted there would be none.
Free discussion followed as to the propriety
and presumable effects of the Presidents policy
in case it should be pursued by him and acqui-
| esced in by the Senate. The interchange of
views developed the almost unanimous opinion
that ike policy of appointing Democrats to
office in the South is not wise or sound, and
Senators known as friends of the administra-
ton expressed doubts whether its pursuance
would have the effect of which the President
is sanguine.
The full official vote of Wisconsin for Gov
ernor, at the late election, gives Smith, Re-

The greatest annoyance experienced
by postal clerks and mail agents whose
duty it is to distribute newspaper pack
ages from the Office of publication comes
from the custom adopted by some pub
fishers of using printed paper for wrap
pers, the labels on which are printed or
written so small and indistinctly that
they are not readily made out besides
such wrappers are very liable to burst
open either before or after they reach
the distributing clerks and thus cause
serious delay and trouble. Having
heard much complaint On this account
from the postal service, we are not sur
prised to learn that an order has been
issued from the department. to the effect
that hereafter newspapers sent to regu-
lar subscribers from the Office of publ
cation must not be done up in old news
papers or any sort Of printed matter. IF
they are, they are subject to transient
postage.
