Buchanan County bulletin. [volume] (Independence, Iowa) 1869-1891, 1878-03-29

ACCORDING to the Washington cor
respondent of the Inter- Ocean, there
was a dinner party at the residence of
Don Cameron, In hat city, last week,
which was attended by Senators Conk-
ling, House, ingalls,, Chaffee, Wadleigh,
Jones, of Nevada, Mitchell and others,
all of whose terms expire in one year
from now, and all of whom are particu-
larly anxious for reelection. The din
ner party was arranged as a kind ofcau-
Gus, to see what could be done to effect
the object above stated, and it was
agreed that some action should be tax
en- in the Senate that would compel the
President to set the machine at work to
assist the Senators named in their am
bition to succeed themselves, or drive
him out of the party. In pursuance of
this scheme, and according to previous
trumpeting, Senator Howe, Of Wiscon-
sin, took the floor, and proceeded, in a
speech of much bitterness, to relieve
himself of the bile which has been ac-
cumulating within him since the Presi-
dent declined to give him a place on the
supreme bench. The speech was but a
rehash Of the implacable newspaper, oft
en- descending to ribaldry, and only re-
markable for vindictiveness and carp
ing, one-sided and unreasonable criti-
cism of the President, and members of
his cabinet. Nj. Howe was particular
ly severe in denunciation Of Secretary
Schurz, probably a great deal more SO
than he would have been if the Secre-
tary had been in a position to reply.
The speech was simply an out pouring
Of venom, prompted by disappointed
ambition, and it's animus was so plain
ly apparent in it's tone and temper, that
it leaves the administration stronger
than ever.
It's effect, if it should have any, was
we'll summed by Matt Carpenter in
these words: What Horace Greeley
said was true: There are Republicans
enough for one party, but there are not
enough for two That is rue of Wis
consin this fall, and of the nation in
1890" The response to it by the press
shows that it falls fiat upon the coun-
try, and Howe's screed becomes con-
temptible when it is known that Howe
voted to confirm Schurz' nomination,
and that all the objections to him alleg-
ed by Howe, if good at all, were as good
then as now. Again, it is well known
that up to the assembling of the Octo-
Der session, Howe was very sweet on
the President, though at that time the
Louisiana question had been settled for
months. When Howe was seeking a
place on the Supreme Bench, there was
no flaw in Hayes title. Since that
place was refused him, the case is diff
ferent. Howe has advertised himself a
malignant, and a stupid n at that.

THE ~implacable newspapers, until
within a short period. have been fond Of
demanding, with taunts and sneers, the
proof of the success of the policy of
Cancellation. Almost every dog fight and
bar-room brawl occurring in the Southern
States, has been paraded by them to
prove that it wa not working well, and
that the people of that region were ir-
reconcilable and obstinate as ever, and
were not disposed to cultivate just and
friendly relations with their Northern
brethren. But, spite of these efforts, it
has not escaped the attention of observ-
ing persons that there is a notable de-
crease Of political strife and violence in
the Southern States since the policy Of
Cancellation was inaugurated, and, now
that it has had time to develop positive
and tangible results, they are not want
ing. We may refer to the recent deci-
sion Of the Louisiana Supreme Court in
the Anderson case, as a fiat contradict
ton of the charge that there is no JUS
tice for Republicans in the South.
Another gratifying manifestation of a
desire to wipe out political asperi-
ties, is found in the late action of
the South Carolina Legislature, which,
though strongly Democratic, passed, by
an overwhelming majority, a resolution
directing a discontinuance of the suits
against parties implicated in frauds Of
the former government of that State.
These implicated parties were Republi-
cans, at least, in name, and some OF
them richly deserved punishment.

Squelching a DemagOgue.

Secretary Sherman, in the following
letter to a friend in Ohio, administers a
deserved rebuke to Congressman Kelley,
and through him to a numerous class of
demagogues in the Greenback party,
whose whole political stock in trade is
wild and reckless assertions, regarding
finance and resumption. The particu-
lar statement in Kelley's speech, to
which the Secretary refers, is that
wherein he declared that the govern
ment has 100000, 900 to redeem, and
only $65, DOC, 900 in gold to do it with:
TREASURY DEPARTMENT.,
WASHINGTON, March s, 1873.
DEAR SIR::-The extract which you
quote from Kelley's speech is but a part
Of the diatrlbes which such men as kel-
ley have used to excite the popular
mind and create a war between capital
and labor. The amount of United
States notes to be redeemed is less than
$35O,0O0, 600, Of which more than $50
100000 are constantly in the Treasury
in some form. The $65, 900, 900 availa-
BILE is now nearly 500, 100000, with some
months further to accumulate. The
Silver bill, in one respect, makes re-
sumption easier by broadening the basis
of coin resumption. What is driving
the people to pauperism, etc, is the in
sane warfare upon capital, which de-
stroys confidence and prevents prudent
men from embarking in new enterprises.
Could any one expect sensible people
having property or money, to embark it
in the hazards of trade in the face Of
such appeals as are now quite common,
and of which this is a specimen? At
this moment our country is more pros
porous than any in the world, though
many are idle and out of employment.
What is needed most is confidence in
the stability of values, and this can only
be secured by a resumption of payment
in coin.
Very truly yours,
JOHN SHERMAN.

Gov. GEAR has appointed Ex-Gov.
Carpenter, of Fit. Dodge, Peter A. Day,
Of Iowa City, and Hon. J. W. MDill, of
Montgomery county, as the Board of
Railroad Commissioners under the new
law just passed by the Legislature.
These are most excellent selections, and
will command the approval of the peo-
pie of the State. 1t is very fortunate
for Gov. Gears reputation, that he re-
considered the determination imputed
to him to appointed to one of these
places a certain we'll known trading
politician in this section of the State.
Without doubt the Governor is under
obligation to the party referred to for
political work in securing his nomina-
ton, but the State is to be congratulate
ed that he made up his mind to dis
charge that obligation in some other
way than by placing so important a
trust in hands so unworthy and so unfit
ted for it.

THE State Legislature adjourned on

THE State Legislature adjourned on
Tuesday. A great many bills were
crowded through during the closing
hours of the session, among others the
capital punishment bill. The bill passed
is the House bill, which provides that
the jury shall decide whether the penal
ty for murder shall be death, or impris-
onment for life. 1t does away with the
wise restriction upon the ~pardoning
power, which had a place in the late
law, and practically leaves the Governor
to exercise this prerogative without linn
~itation. The revenue bill failed, the
two Houses failing to come to al agree
ment. The following is the list of trus-
tees for the several State institutions,
elected in joint session:
Regents of the State University-H.
G.. Bates, A. F. Reeve, John f. Dun
combe.
For State Agricultural College-H.

Hon. 7. w. BURDIcK, as will be seen
by his letter to A.. K. Bailey, of the De-
corah Republican, which we print in
this issue, absolutely and unequivocally
declines to become a candidate for a
second term in Congress. We regret
this, for we entertain a very high esti-
mate Of Mr.. Burdick's faithfulness and
capacity for usefulness in the position.
His declination leaves the field open
for other aspirants and no doubt
there will be developed soon enough
a number of gentlemen who are willing
to make sacrifices for their country in
this direction. The standard bearer in
the next campaign needs to be a man of
recognized ability and capacity, n able
to make an aggressive fight for the par
ty and its principles, and we hope that
wisdom, and not selfish partisanship,
may prevail in his selection.

In the great international walking
match, at Agricultural Hall, London,
England, last week, the American pc,
destrian, OLeary, was the victor over
all competitors. 1t was a six days walk,
for a prize of ESQ. The contest COM
menced at 3 o'clock Monday morning;
at 9 o'clock Saturday evening, the last
of OLeary's competitors-among whom
were some of the noted pedestrians of
England-threw up the sponge and re-
tired from the contest. OLeary's rec
ord was 500 miles, which is 44O yards
better than the best time on record.
Vaughn, his principal contestant, scored
500 miles. O'Leary's home is in Chica-
60, and the papers of that city are as
jubilant wei the victory as if the fate
of the city depended upon it.

THE photograph is the latest scientif'

THE photograph is the latest scientif-
ic wonder, and the record of its posi-
bilities is fairly startling. Among 9th
err things that its inventor, Mr.. Edison,
proposes, is to place a big photograph
in the machinery hall, of the Paris Elk
hibition, and have it talk all day long to
the crowd, in every language on earth.
Another proposition is to place it on a
railroad locomotive, so that when four
or five miles out from the depot it may
herald its coming in articulate tones of
the human voice. His last astonishing
proposal is, to construct a huge machine
to 60 in the great bronze statue of Lib
erty, at the entrance of New York har-
Dor, so that the metal giant may talk in
tones audible all over the bay. Mr..
Edison is rapidly bringing his wonder
full invention to perfection.

HOWE'S HOWLING.
How the President Takes It,

HOW the freSlOenC taxes IL.
WASHINGTON, March GA number
Of members of Congress, friends of the
President, called upon him this morn
ing with reference to the speech of SEN
ator Howe. They all expressed more
feeling in the matter than the President
himself, and suggested hat the speech
be answered, fearing that to permit it
to pass in silence might be an admis-
sion of its entire truth. The Presi-
dent took a different view, placing him
self on the ground that what he had
done in the way of official action was
based on his sense Of right, without
thinking for a moment what might be
the result as affecting him personally.
He was opposed to a public response,
preferring that his acts should be the
best interpreter Of his motives and prln-
ciples. He had sought to perform his
duty, and with this he was content, no
how others with prejudiced
minds might view his conduct. All
would recollect, he said, how bitterly
Senator Howe had denounced President
Lincoln toward the close Of his first
term, and how others sought to prevent
MI. Lincoln from being nominated for
the second term; but Notwithstanding
all this he was renominated, and became
more popular than ever, the people hav-
ing become better acquainted with him,
and appreciated his conduct more.
President Hayes was perfectly willing
to be judged by the same tribunal. The
President does not appear in the least
disturbed by Senator Howe's speech,
believing time will fully vindicate him.
Among those who called were Sena-
tors Matthews, Hoar, Cameron, of Wis
and Ferry, and Representative
McCook, of New York.
The Presidents perfect equanimity
under every assault upon him or his
acts, no matter how rabid or ill-temp-
cred, and his %unwavering faith in the
just judgment of the people, are among
the strongest points in his character.
This attitude will do more to discomfort
and defeat the spoilsmen who are vent
Ing their bile upon him, than any re-
spouse by his friends in Congress. The
Republicans of the country. will not fail
notice that the efforts to disrupt and
disorganlze the party, come not from
the President and those who stand by
him, but from the crowd of selfish poll
ticians who, like Howe, are smarting ov-
er defeated aspirations for p~referment
at the hands of the President, or like
Conkling, who can never condone the
act that deprived him of the control of
the Offices in New York. The President
may well appeal to the honest judy
ment OF the country, and can afford to
a comparison of motives.

THE Greenback State Convention has
been called for April 10th, at Des
Moines, and the Democratic State Con
v~ention will be held at Cedar Rapids,
May goth. There does not seem to be
much chance for coalition in this ar
rangement, and the papers that, like
our contemporary across the way, have
been in a nebulous state as between
those parties, will be confronted with
an embarrassing alternative, if both par
ties should nominate full tickets. AS
an exchange puts it, they will graphical
" illustrate the fable of the donkey be-

The Charles City MteUigencer says

The Charles City MteUigencer says:
president Hayes, with colossal self
conceit. informed a Massachusetts Re-
publican a few days since that he
found the Republican party dead and
was trying to resurrect it," The state
ment is a collossal-something else than
a fact. The president meyer used the
language imputed to him, and all our
cotemporary's sarcastic comments there
on go for naught. Fully nine-tenths OF
the ~implacable thrusts at the admins
ton, are founded on just as unstable
basis as this.

REFERRING to those who oppose the
re-enactment of the death penalty, an ex-
change offers to quiet their a%pprehen-
sions in the following hooking vein:
They need not be frightened, provided
they are good citizens. The law will
hang only criminals" Unfortunately,
the law and those who execute it are
not infallible, and history furnishes too
many refutations Of the assertion that
the law hangs only criminals not to
make this consideration one of prime
Importance.

THE Chicago Posts Washington spec
ial, the day after Howe's TRADE in the
Senate, says:
The latter portions of Senator Howe's
speech failed to realize the expecta-
tions created by its opening parts, and
it fell fiat after all. 1t was often re-
marked last night that the effort came
out fiat as a pancake with a saw log
rolled over it. There was great disap-
pointment among the anti Hayes men,
A highly intelligent Wisconsin polite
ian remarked to me that the speech had
driven the last nail into Howe's politi-
cal coffin, and his State would now final
ly bury him. 1t is not expected that
there will be any replies by Hayes Re-
publicans, whatever the Democrats
may do.

TILDEN'S INCOME TAX.
a Decision Against Sammy.

n DECISION Against sammy.
New YORK, March 26.-Judge
Blatchford, of the United States Dis
trict Court, gave a decision to-day in
the suit of the United States against ex-
Gov. Samuel J. Tilden, to recover some
$4,000 income tax, alleged to be due
the government. The sum was brought
in the United States District Court
when Tilden was the Democratic candi-
date for President, and it was alleged
that it was only brought for political
purposes. Counsel for Tilden set up a
demurrer and the case was argued at
great length. Judge Blatchfordfs decis-
ion is quite lengthy and cites innumer-
able authorities, the principal of which
are found in the Supreme Courts decis-
ion in the Dollar Savings Bank case and
a Rhode Island case lately decided by
the Supreme Court. He sustains de-
PENDANTS demurrer to the first count in
the complaint on the ground hat in the
year covered by this count, Mr.. Tilden
had made return of his income and paid
the tax on such return. On the other
eleven counts in the complaint he sus-
tains plaintiff, the United States, in its
demurrer to the answer of the defense,
holding virtually hat the Government
was not bound by the action Of the Uni
ted States Assessors as it's agents, and
that Mr.. Tilden was required to make
himself a return of his income, which he
had not done.
The case is now to proceed to trial by
jury on the question of the amount Of
income of Mr.. Tilden during the years
in which he made no return himself. In
three years MI. Tilden allowed the Uni
ted States Assessors to make return
and paid the tax on such return, togeth-
err with the penalty Of five per cent, but
this the Court holds was not sufficient.
1t is likely that MIR. Tilden's counsel
will appeal the case to the United
States Supreme Court.

The immigration to Kansas and parts
of Iowa is said to be unprecedented, and
the immigrants are Of an excellent class.
The cry ono that there is room for
more. Why will men raise families in
garrets located on the filthy alleys of
our great cities, with children training
for crime, when the great free West,
with its rich soil and pure air, offers
them homes? A little money and plenty
of energy and pluck will accomplish
more for a family in five years than a
lifetime of hard labor in the city.-In-
