NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. HOME

Mr.. McMahon-Mr. Chairman, l
have heard a great deal in this
House, from the other side, in the
last two or three years, about disa-
bled soldiers; but when / came to
probe what it meant I never found
that it amounted to anything except
the patronage that some republican
congressman wanted from a demo-
cratic House for some one-armed re
publican whom he kept here under
a resolution of the House. and the
small bumcombe ola political speech.
i represent a district which has with
in its limits 5000 disabled Union
soldiers, many of whome vote the re-
publican ticket as regularly as they
take their breakfast each morning;
but / never heard of any of those
men getting places here, in any de-
partnent of the government or un-
der a republican House, through the
influence of any republican member
of congress.
/ never heard of one of these men
getting a place in your departments
here, although you have $4,000 or
100, 1000 at the disposal of the heads
of those departments. You could
not muster your office holders on a
section of land; but there are few
soldiers among them.
l have seen time and again disa-
bled Union soldiers from the Soldiers
Home putting applications for office
into the diferrt departments-and
before me stands the gentleman from
Massachusetts (Mr. Butler. one of
the sincere friends of the soldiers at

On the subject of civil service MI.
HAYES is not SO happy. He deals out
the stale clap-trap of Curtis and his
man milliner school of politicians
without enough of animation thrown
in to lead us to think that he belives
his own theories. This part of his
message is confronted with an array
of facts well known to the country
which puts the stamp, if not of false
hood, at least of i~nsincerity upon
every word and line ON this subject.

1t is pretty well settled that the
wreck of the United States steamer
Huron was the result of the reckless
ness of the commander and the stu
pidity of the navigator. While it is
poor comfort to the bereaved to know
that both were drowned, it vindicates
a common sentiment of justice and
makes human life that much more
safe upon the seas.

A correspondent of the Cincinnati
Enquirer, recently writing from Ea
ton, Ohio, quotes something from
old Ben Wade which goes to show
why that old wheel horse of radical
ism had to take a back seat, and why
he was not supported for the vice
presidency in the radical convention
of 1868. He says that sin 1867
Wade said to me, 4 am for the la-
boring man; the rich can take care of
themselves. While l must scrupu-
lousy live up to all the contracts of
the government and fight repudia-
tion to death, I will fight the bond
holder as resolutely when he under
takes to get more than the pound of
flesh. Buffers doctrin IS true; we
never agreed to pay the five-twen-
ties in gold. No man can find it in
the bond; and I never will consent
TO have n payment for the bond
holder and another Tor the people.
1T would sink any party, and it
ought to. To talk of specie pay
'ments or a return to specie under
the present circumstances is to talk
lake a fool. 1t would destroy the
country as ~effectuallv as a fire, and
tany contraction of the currency at
this time is about as bad" This
adds n more proof to what we have
always said, that the legislation OF
the radical party was for bonds and
bondholders, and that it,did not hes
itate about sacrificing anything OF
anybody to the great golden cali
which the eastern wing of the party
worships continually. Ben Wade
and every n else must give way,
or if they prove rebellious or contu.
macious, then back seats in the rad.
ical temple are furnished free Of
charge, and they are forced to oc,
cupy them.
The above from the Indianapolis
Sentinel shows that the editor of thai
journal has q lively appreciation o.
the Golden Calf business of the Rad
ical party. But there is one consola
tion, it grinds all around. No. only
does the poor man shiver with colo
and want, but Banks are fast putting
the shutters and pulling down the
blinds. The bondholders have theil
grip on all and destroy confidence
which is the life blood and support
of finances.

The editor of the Richmond hide
pendent has received a letter from
the Hon. THOMAS NJ. BROWN, mem
Der of Congress from the Wayne Dis
trict, and who though a Republican,
is, before party, a western man and
works for western interests, on the
financial question of relief he. says:
1 am a republican, but as you
know am not in accord with the adj
ministration on the currency ques-
tion. l may say in passing that the
resumption act will be neither re-
pealed nor materially modified; nor
will any bill remonetizing silver and
restoring it to its old place in the
money of the nation become a law.
The senate and the administration
stand sternly and inflexibly opposed
to all financial legislation that looks
toward any interference with exist
ing laws. We must get ready for
gold payments in 1879, for it must
come. If you noticed my record you
know how deeply I regret that events
are tending in the direction indica-
ted.
We are glad to hear such good
sense from the genial, whole-souled
Tom BROWN. He is a Preble Coun,
ty boy, and are sorry that he al see
no ray of hope for the masses. Don't
forget that the people move rapidly
sometimes. England had them un.
der once when she tried to resume
and her only safety valve was through
an extra session of Parliament
Her Banks collapsed, her great Cor.
porations were like reeds shaker
with the wind-the people were il

preme law, the voice of the people

The Salem Mercury of Feb. 10th
gives the following particulars of q
highway robbery:
On the evening of February 14th,
as a Mr.. Baker was passing from In
dependence to Monmouth, in Polk
county, he was seized by two or
more highwaymen, bound, gagged
and tied to a tree. They then pro-
ceeded 20 search bis person and took
from him 5000 in currency. After
they had left, Mr.. Baker succeeded
in getting loose from the tree but
could not free his hands, which were
securely tied behind his back, nor
remove the gag from bis mouth. In
this condition he made his way to
his home in Monmouth. From the
description given of the parties by
Mr.. Baker, suspicion fell upon the
Starr brothers Charley and Frank
of this city, and warrants were
sworn out for their arrest and placed
in the hands Of Samuel Irvine, City
Marshal of Independence. BE

and placed the warrants in the hands
of officer Mimic, who arrested the
Starr boys this morning, and locked
them up to await the arrival of thu
Sheriff of Polk county. It is statei
that Charley Starr, in company will
