lively shindy the other day Senator
Blaine Intentionally showed how vulner.
able is the claim Of Massachusetts on

words OF Mr.. Hoar's speech precisely as
We find them officially reported in the
Congressional Record:
regret that the senator from Maine
should have been so disturbed by some
recent historic judgments of the people
of Massachusetts, that he should require
their ancestors not only to bear the bur
den Of their own sins, bat those of their
descendants. Like Eneas 10 the 'Iliad,
AttOllsns humeris fama ct fata nepOtem.
But, Mr.. President, | take leave Of the

Latin quotation. Had the quotation
been free from gross inaccuracies and
grammatical bluuders it would even then
have been a puerile display in such a
body IS the senate; but If Latin is to be
Raunted at all, it should be correct Latin.
Mr. Sumner was much addicted to this
kind of pedsutic display, but his faults
were only ~ostentation and bad taste; he
did moi mutilste what he undertook to
quote, nor confound one author with an
other. If any reader cares to look at
the line which Mr.. Hoar has so oddly
mutilated, he will find it at the end Of
the eighth book of the Eneid."

PRospEcTs or pLANp,s BILa.

The Wall street and bondholdera or
gans are seriously alarmed at the pros
poets of the passage of the silver bill
Heretofore they have derided the ideI
and spoken of the Squad of base meta
fanatics" in congress. But since tbl
squad has developed about a two
thirds strength they have fallen Il
imploring and protesting, and even
to arguing the question, which ii
something quite new and awkward t.
them. They say new that if every sen.
ator who voted against the Matthews
resolution could be relied on 20 vote
against the bill, tis four anti,silver sen
ators who we're paired would be barely
enough when added to the twenty-five to
prevent the FIRST passage of BANDS bill
over a veto. But the discovery has been
made upon examination that three OF
the twenty-five are defective on the ques'
ton. These three are Senators Blaine,
Of Maine; Window, of Minnesota, aud
Paddock, Of Nebraska. The petitions
that continue to pour in from the con-
s~tituents of these senators, as well as from
New York and other States, are having
their desired effect. Mr.. Blaine, 10 ex.
planning his vote, said that, while OPP
posed to the Bland bill as it is, be was 10
favor of the demonstration of silver.
BE is therefore set down as doubt
full. Mr.. Windomsstated in the debate
that his vote against Matthews resolu-
ton did not commit him one way or the
other on the Bland bill. So it is plain
that be is waiting to hear from home.
Mr.. Paddock, who comes from a silver
State, said: When the proper time
comes l shall vote for the most liberal
coinage ssd the fullest practicable use
Of silver" Language could hardly be
plainer. It is now rumored that the
President viii not inserpose q veto if
BANDS bill passes by q large majority,
upon the ground that the voice of con.
gress IS the voice Of the people, aud that
be is relieved from ell responsibility. The
boEdbolders are seriously alarmed at
this prospect and are calling aloud upon
al Who advocate honest money and op-
pose repudistion in its worst form, to hold
meetings and bring a pressure to bear
upon congress Itis an easy matter to get
up 3 meeting Of bankers and capitalists
in 3 back room to pass resolutions about
honest money, dishonesty obtained. but
when il comes to the masses Of the peo-
pie they are found on the other SIDE,
" within a stones throw OF Wall
street, ard within the very shadow Of
Fsnrel Hall The passage of the silver
bill may be set down as almost a fore
gone conclusion.

GENERAL ATKINS.


The Cineinnsi Commercial is dis
tresssi because the Democratic house
in congress has no leader, and on this
ground accounts for the do nothing
ness o. congress. Perhaps the Conner
cisl will 6nd out that something has been
dous when the silver bill becomes a Iaw.
The Commercial says:
Il has sometimes happened since the
diFlslon about fifteen years ago Of the
great financial committee Of the house
into two sections, the FIRST having charge
o. me revenues, and the second Of the
expenditures Of the government that the
chairman OF the committee on approprt.
ailons has been the virtual leader of the
house. Il was so 10 Thaddeus Stevens
day, when the Great Coumoaer, as be
was called, feeble, diseased and ENACT.
ated as ne was in body, ruled and led by
the force Of keen intellect and indom
table will the compact msjority Of the
Republican house toward the prompt en-.
aetment Of all the legislation that wac
needed. And it has been go with other
chairmen Of the committee on appropri.
atious since. But the present head Of
that committee, Mr.. Atkins, Of Tennes.
see, although a man Of high character
and good business qualities, is 90 new ia
politics, 50 comparatively unknown even
IN his v party, that without any pecu.
lar strength or commanding aptitude
Tor toe difficult duty Of shaping the pub
nc business, he fails essentially to take
rank as a leaIer Of the house.
We cannot imagine vhat standard The
Commercial sets up as a measure in such
cases. General Atkins, az he is know
here, is 50 years Of age. he served il
tle Tennessee house Of representative
10 l649 and in 1851 and in the State sen
ate in 1855; was a Presidential elseto,
in 1856, and was elected to congress il
1851 10 1860 be was on the Brsckin
ridge electoral ticket; served in the Con
tederate army and was three times elected
to the Confederate congress. So mucl
for his record previous to the end of tn,
war. Since then be has been elected to tb,
house OF representatives. three times !,
succession, and has held important posi-
tons on committees each term. He /
the peer Of any man in congress TO-DAY
aud is so recognized on both sides Of N
house. Yet the Commercial treats hin
, patronizipgly as a clever enough man
I, out new in politics aud co%mparadvel
unknown even in bis own party. He /
entirely too well known for the good q
the COMMERCIAL party. The Democrat
are not suffering for want Of a leader O
