Able Speech Of General Eck0ls.


One of che best speeches made in the
Legislature upon the question of the
public debt was that made by General
Echo,,s on the 18th inst, in opposition to
to the passage of the Barbour bill. We
regret that we have not the space to
publish it in full, as we would be glad if
all his constituents coula havs an OPP
portunity to read it. Though We. pub
lished last week, in the Legislative pro-
ceedings, brief abstract of it, we devote
as much space as we can spare this week
to fuller report of it published in the
Dispatch.
He opposed the Barbur bill with all
the energy of his nature. believing that
it would fail of the ends its friends have
in view, and that it would be disastrous to
the material interests of the State, as
we'll as to her fair name and credit. He
reviewed in methodic manner in chro-
biological order the history Of Legisla-
ton since the war on thequestion of the
public debt, showing that the features
Of the funding bill of 1871, which have
excited so much opposition, are not
new in the Legislation upon this sub
|ect. 81.
