From the Boston Traveller
The Tilt in Ihc senate.

OF course everybody will read the
report in other columns of the lively de-
bate in the Senate, Yesterday, As result
of the Maine Senators presentation OF the
King statue Sensible people will not
get nervous and fussy, aud sacrifice their
sleep, because Nj. Blaine INDUCED ia
sharp cri icisms of Massachusetts treat
ment of Gov King and the Maine colony,
or of her course in the war OF 1872. II Is
of little consequence to our present char
acter or prosperity or happiness that our
ancestors burned witches al the stake. or
were selfish in the matter of n local con-
troversy, or were unpatfiOtic on the qaes-
ton of war half a century ago. Iubhc
opinion has changed since then IN many
respects. and we don't know why We
should be called upon to defend and eA-
plain away transactions Tor which we are
not responsible. Neither do we appre-
ciate the senstiveness Of our representa-
tives who assume that raking up of sal
lent points of history is personal al
tack upon themselves requiring
a personal rejoinder. Every State has
upon its records matters which had
better be erased, and the people
of every State look back upon many OF
the acts of their predecessors as foolish
and ndefensible Massachusetts need not
go into Mysteries because the history OF
witchcratt is related, nor Rhode Island
because we refer frequently to the Dorr
Rebellion, nor Connecticut because of her
Hartford Convention and wooden nut
megs, nor of New York because OF her
warfare upon the Green Mountain Boys,
nor Pennsylvania because of her whiskey
rebellions, nor any other state because OF
many other slips and improprieties halt
a century ago. The record of commu-
nifty is not sacred, SO that for common
people or Senators to touch it is saciilege.
Mr.. Blaine committed 10 offence against
the world by his historical references and
reflections, whatever may be the motive
or the propriety of that act, and Messrs
Dawes and Hoar magnified mole-hll into
a mountain when they accepted his speech
as challenge to personal combat. Let
us be sensible and not petty about q mat
ter which involves nobody's character OF
honor, except those who hasten to put on
the fools cap.
Daily Kennebec journal. [microfilm reel] (Augusta, Me.) 1870-1975, 1878-01-25

The Advertiser appears to think that
Mr. Dawes "set" Mr. Blaine right in
the matter of Massachusetts history.
Does it refer to the war of 1872 or the war
claims and the European & North Ameri-
can Railway? The more general opinion
is that Mr.. Dawes is not as familiar with
the history of his own State rs Mr.. Blaine
is, aud that he would have done well to
confuc his remarks to personal reflections
for old recolleclion's sake, as Mr. HOar
did II was an admirable opportunity to
air old personal grudges. and, not having
read history very thoroughly, Mr.. Dawes
should have stuck to that line. Mr.
Dawes was not elected Speaker of the
House of Representatives some years ago
and Mr.. Blaine vas Boston TrdccHer.
Mr.. B.aine's bill introduced in the SEN
ate in relation to the coinage of silver dol
ars, provides for the coming and circu-
lation Of silver in such manner as to do
away with the most Objectionable features
Of the Bland bill If adopted it would
require the silver dollar to be brought up
in value to the gold dollar, not leaving it
a. in the Bland bill only ninety cents in
value as compared with gold. The di-
rector OF the mint having the power to es-
tablish The standard rate OF silver would
make it conform to the gold
standard The extreme silver men will
oppose the bill, but the moderate silver
men may accept it.

From the New York World
Hayne and Blaine.

We hope the statues OF Gov. Winthrop
and Gov. King will not take up the quar-
rel OF Massachusetts, as savagely as the
senators from those two States Yesterday
felt themselves moved to do. Ii wl!i 20
more hardly in that case with the statue
than it yesterday went with the senator
from Maine; for the sculptor who has
done Governor Winthrop in marble has
set his venerable head so loosely on his
venerable throat that it lies, tilted at an
angle in his huge stiff ruff like the head
Of John the Baptist on its charger, ready
TO be flung like a cannon ball at the sue
cesslul seceder who rent the province OF
Maine away from the Massachusetts Bay,
and has now been rewarded for it by a
niche in the American Pantheon. Iflhere
were any Massachusetts men on the floor
OF the Senate yesterday, they must have
hung their heads for shame TO think how
differently Webster fought the fight of the
old commonwealth when Hayne chal-
W thC encounter DGdlI4 nan
a century ago, The case of Massachusetts
was no better than it was yesterday; but
Webster was skillful enough to fight
from behind the barbados OF Bunker Hill.
Hoar and Dawes rashly rushed out into the
open field of the Hartford Convention, and
have only themselves to thank for it that
the hard hitting Blaine FIRST brought them
both TO the ground together. and then in a
most ignominious manner picked them mp
again and tossed them both in the old pine
tree flag as Sancho was tossed in the inn
keepers blanket. or course it is evident
to the unregenerate mind of copperheads
and publicans, sinners, that the perform
ances of the recent Republican Convention
In Massachusetts which indorsed the Adj
ministration were not wholly absent from
the mind of Senator Blaine while he stood
neatly rubbing the salt Of his malice into
the old wounds of Massachusetts Federal
ism. And if lloar and Dawes could have
kept their temper they might escaped at
least the tossing in the blanket. But that
is their affair and his, and it was not in
human nature for the democratic and
Southern senators who witnessed this rare
sport to refrain from appiaudng it.
Blaine rhymes well enough with Hayne
But it is quite clear that Dawes and Hoar
together do not spell Webster.

The failure of the Democrats of the committee
to make any reference to the one subject IN when
there is any popular interest has been attributed
by some to the continued absence Of General
Butler of whom the Democrats seem TO be mueh
afraid. The opinion has come to be universal IN
Washington that the General has or can control the
originals of the cipher kilograms winch HE
TRIBUNE has printed and translated. The Demo
Gratis had a theory week ago that In the Dundle
of dispatches which General Butler brought into
the committee-room last June were both Demo-
cratic and Republican messages and that when the
General arrives in Washington he will turn DIS
guns against the party with which he has
been until recently associated. This theory (which
many of the Democrats were very anxious 10 De-
lieve, has now been abandoned. story is started
every day or two that Republican documents have
been discovered, but it is only to be contradcted'

Tie nomination Of Mr.. HillhOuso to be
Assistant United States Treasurer at New-York
was considered by the Senate Finance Committee
to-day. Ii was agreed to report the same to the
Senate with favorable recommendation.
Colonel Samuel Hays, Postmaster at st. Louis, is
here looking after his confirmation by the Senate.
Colonel HAYS was appointed Postmaster during the
vacation of Congress aud was the acknowledged
selection of Secretary Schurz. Mr.. Filey, 1T may
no remembered was removed because of his al
legged violation of the Civil Service rules
he being accused of using his Office
for political purposes. Since his removal
he has been hard at work TO secure the rejection of
the nomination of Colonel Hays. The nomination
was sent to the Committee OIL Post Offices and Post
Roads and was then referred to Senator Kirkwood.
Of Iowa The latter said to-day that he has received
many complaints and replies thereto, and is waiting
until all are in before he decides upon his
port to the committee. From the nature of his
remarks it is inferred that he is disposed TO make
an unfavOrable report on the nomination. 1t
is believed that tho two Missouri Democratic
Senators will not oppose the conflrma-
ton of Colonel Hays. 1t is expected, how
ever that there will be a contest over the case.
Both Postmaster-General Key and AssistantPost-
master-General Tyner were opposed to Mr.. Filley's
removal.
Although Secretary Thompson has been in very
regular attendance upon bis official duties since his
recent sickness, he has not entirely recovered his
usual health Lately the Secretary has been suf-

some of the Treasury employees in this city are IN
