GORDON AND CoSKLING.

The Washington correspondent OF Inc
indianapolis Jo~Hol gives the following
account OF the difficulty between ScUa-
tors Gordon, Oh Georgia, and ConkiIg,
OF New York;
A scene occurred in executive session
OF the Sepate on Friday, which will re-
call some turbulent scenes that were ire,
'quent in Congress prior to the rebellion.
II occurred over. the case Of Wade, q
carpet.bagger, who was nominated to be
collector Of internal revenue IN Georgia,
and who received favorable report from
the committee on finance, against the
protest Of senators Gordon and Hill
Wades name was low down on The cal.
endar, ana as soon as the Senate went
into secret session, Mr. Gordon asked
that the regular order be suspended and
that Wadc's nomination be taken up
Mr.. COnkligg objected TO this, and wa!
supported by several Republican Sena
tors. Mr.. Gordon lost his temper al
the opposition maintained, and made
some offensive remark about the di>pu,
sition OF Conkling to dragOon the senate
and charged that Conkling had pocketoC
the report from the committee on com.
mercc upon the nomination OF smith e
be collector Of customs at Mobile, Ccnh'
| ling affected not to hear Gordon's re-
mark, and asked him to repeat it, Which
Gordon did.
Mr.. Conkling then said, with great de-
liberation and emphasis; MrPresilcnt
what the senator states is wholly untrue.
pointing his finger at Gordon as he III
| tered these words.
Gordon was standing at his desk, bu
pushed through between the desks il
front ofhim, towards Conkling, He va!
Interrupted in his progress, however
several senators interpOsing, aud by 9th
ers raising the point of order that Suci
proceedings were wholly disorderly auC
disgraceiul to the senate.
| Mr.. Gordon returned to his desk, re
marking in an undcrtOue that ne woull
demand an apology.
| Mr.. Conkling heard the remark, AM
addressing the vice president, Raid
apologies were made the senator irol
| Georgia should set the example.
| Gordon then said he did not desire t
further interrupt the proceedings, but h
would demand settlement at anothc
time and place, making an allqsion to hi
"honor.'
Conkling retOrted that he was prepare
for settlement now % hereafter, and the
withdrew his objection TO the reques
made by Gordon tor the immediate cor
sidCration.
Wade's case was then taken up. an
Mr.. Hill made a speech against his con
nrmation. Among other things h
charged Wade had circulated false stOrie
in the North and in Northern news
papers. This called up Mr.. Blaine, an
a warm controversy took place betwee
him and Mr.. Hin about Southern out
RACES. Wade was then confirmed by
strict party vote.
Before adjournment Messrs. HamlI
and Thurman made speeches deprccatln
the difficulty between Conkling and Co
don. They attributed it to the unusu'
excitement through which We Son1'
had passed lately, and hopc hat bot
gentlemen would reach an rmiaDle IN

TIE yOORnEEs REsOLUUION.

Senator Voorhees, introduced resolu-
luton in the Senate, the other day,
which lac proposes to speak upon soon
alter the Congressional vacation. 1t is
as follows;
"Resolred, That it is of the highest i'm
portance that the financial credit of the
government be maintained; and in order
10 do so, the government itself, in all its
departments, should In good faith keep
all lts contracts and obligations entered
into with Its own citizens"
The object OF the Senator in presenting
this resolution is probably two.fold
First he wishes to put on record an EMS
phatic declaration by Congress that no
assault on the public credit Is contem-
plated, or will be tolerated, and second
ly, he will take the opportunity to eXN
pose the falsehoods and ISLANDERS which
the anti-silver men have uttered in con-
nection with this subject, lie will show,
as he can show, that the American peo.
pie do not sanction any scheme to violate
public contracts, but that, on the cons
trary. they are willing to live up TO
the spirit and letter Of every obi
CATION which has received the sanction
OF law. Not only that, but they are de-
termined that no other construction OF the
contract shall prevail. And right here it
may be well to notice, as pertinent to this
matter, most remarkable statement in
the message OF President Hayes, who
says, "Any attempt to pay the national
Indebtedness in coinage Of less cora
mercial value than the money OF th'
world would Involve violation OF thu
public faith, and work irreparable injur,
TO the public credit" Here we have
President of the United States, in hi
official capacity, insinuating a base Sian
der upon a vast majority of his country
men, charging them with seeking
violation OF the public faith and con
spring to work an "lrreparable injury t.
the public credit" In view OF the rca
facts and the damage to national credit
which so unjust and uncalled for state
ment as this OF President Hayes Nigh
produce, the language Of the EXecutiy
cannot be too much condemned. lie

The anti-monopolist. [volume] (Saint Paul, Minn.) 1874-1878, 1877-05-03

We quote the following interesting
article from the Scientific American. It
is full of food for profound thought:
1.-The population of our globe is now
about fifteen hundred milliens. or about
an average of thirty to the square mile
of land surface. With proper cultivation
of both land and water, and the largest
possible reclamation of waste and desert
land by irrigation and otherwise, the
earth is capable of supporting perhaps
ten times as many people; probably not
more, as that would require every inch
of dry land to be as densely populated as
China now is, and very considerable
portion of the earth's land surface is and
must ever remain practically uninhabit-
able.
Assuming such an increase of the
worlds population 10 be possible. the
question naturally arises: When is the
limi. likely to be reached-and what
then? The contingency at first NAV
seem to be very remote, but in reality it
is not, provided human progress con-
tinues at the present rate. The dominant
race of to-day is that which is fully rep
FcSeHtcu w tHC PcopsO VI LII i1nN. AS
influences of modern civilization have
been felt on that island as manitestly as
anywhere ;and we shall not 60 far wrong
ii we estimate the progress of the imme-
date future by the ratio OF the imme>
date past. The population of England
at the beginning OF the present century
was, in round numbers, a little under
1900, 900. 1t is now not far from "a
600, 900. With the same rate of increase
for seven generations more. the English
people will equal in number the present
population of the entire globe At the
end OF the fifteenth generation the de-
scendants of the English people, if they
continue to increase at their present rate,
will number (if statistics and mathenat-
les tell no lies) fifteen times as many IS
the world now supports, and fifty pei
cent. more than We set as the limit OF the
earth's possible population. Inasnuch
as the English are not the only pepole
that are rapidly increasing in numbers,
it is clear that the struggle tor existence
among the tribes OF humanity Is likely
to be rapidly and seriously intensified.
Thanks to the advancement Of know.

The Messrs. Archibalds have large
farm in the vicinity Of Morris, Stevens
county, on the main line of the St. P.&p.
Railway, embracing a tract OF some
y 900 or IA, 900 acres part OF which IS
now under cultivation. Mr.. John +.
Donaldson, as manager or superintendent.
left on Monday with eleven teams and
twelve men to commence work on the
big farm. The teams were driven to
St. Paul, and then carried by rail to
Morris $50 miles west. The farmers
will put in four or five hundred acres OF
wheat, after which they will commence
breaking. They will do the harvesting
and fall blowing. and return in about
six months.
Stevens county contains the finest
bodylof fertile land to be found 10 Min

WHAT GRANT THOUGHT ABDUL
TIE GREENBACKS BEFORE
HE WAS CONVERTED.


President Grant in one of his messages
to Congress, speaking ofthe panic OF
1873, said:
1.-The experience Of the present panic
has proven that the currency of the coun-
try, based as it is upon the credit OF the
country, is the best that has ever been
devised.
I'm view of the great actual contrac>
ton that has taken place in the cer~
rency, and the comparative contraction
continuously going on, due to the increase
OF population, increase Of manufacte'
ries, and all other industries, do not be-
lieve there is too much of it now for the
dullest period of the year.
during the last four years the cur
-rency has been contracted directly by
the withdrawal OF 5 per cent certificates,
compound interest notes and 1850 bonds
outstanding, on the 4th Of March. 1869,
all of which took the place of legal ten
ders in the bank reserves to the extent
OF 500, O0O,0OO
During the same period there has
been much larger comparative contrac
ton of the currency. The population
of the country has largely increased.
More than 25 900 miles of railroads have
been built requiring the active use o.
capital to operate them. Millions o.
ceres OF land have been opened to cult
walton, requiring capital to move the
products. Manufactures have beer
multiplied beyond all precedent in thu
same period Of time, requiring capita
weekly for the payment OF wages ant
for the purchase of material; and prob
ably the largest of all comparative cou'
traction arises from the organizing o
tree labor in the South. Now ever.
laborer there receives his wages. and TO
want OF savings banks the greater part o
such wages is carried in the pocket o
boarded for use.''
