BUTLER ON REBELS.

Following is the closing portion of
speech delivered in Congress on the 9Th
by Ben Butler The House was about
to elect doorkeeper, and the Demo
Gratis having nominated Chas. w. Field,
of Georgia, an ex general in the Con-
federate army, the Republicans placed
in nomination Gen. James Shields, also
a Democrat, but soldier wounded in
the Union army and likewise in the
Mexican war. Butler expressed the
opinion of thousands of Union men in
this admirable address:
Gentlemen of the other side, I ask
YOU, in closing, not to do this thing
(elect Field. We are little sore yet,
some of us up north. There are great
many graves dotting the hillsides of our
villages with the grass hardly grown
green over them, and which we ale
going to decorate on the Both of May
neXt-the graves of men who fought to
save the union. Do not send the Sob
bling widows and weeping orphans to
their husbands and fathers graves with
the idea that their comrade has now
been put behind the army that killed
those husbands and fathers. Do not
press US so fast. We will get along
pretty soon. Be little tender with us
for while. We have not gotten to
that point yet. l speak in all frlendh-
ness. I never have attempted to excite
upon this question any unkind feeling.
I tell you. men of the north, that this
seems small matter, but so was the
first gun fred at Sumpter. It did not
harm, but it lit up a flame that almost
destroyed our country, the effects OF
which we are feeling yet. Men OF Penn
sylvania, SO true, so staunch to the flag
in the time of it's trouble, let me say to
you that this will light up among the
glorious old hilltops of that state, and
among her loyal citizens flame which,
like the red cross of Roderick, will
spread from hilltop to hilltop. This
will not be after while political uues-
ton. I pray you in all sincerity in all
spirit Of friendliness, do not do this
thing. You have shown by the election
of your postmaster in the regular course
of business that you choose to give a
recognition to the confederacy, and we
bore with that; because in that matter
you were organizing your house in your
own wayJ but now by the visitation of
God-if the vote in the house the other
day can be called that-you have cut
down doorkeeper, and Urion manned
soldier, whom, if you do not like to
honor for what he did in the late war,
you must honor for the charge at Cerro
Gordo. He is before you for that Office.
If you do not wish to stand by him on
account of the wound which he received
from Stonewall Jackson's brigade, you
can stand by him on account of the cop
per bullet which he received from the
Mexicans. I say that when such man
is presented to you, do not try to strike
him down.
Lynde, Bragg and Bouck, of Wiscon-
sin, voted for Field.

EXPORTA TON OF I'LL

The effect of silver reconciliation,
which its opponents predicted, is begin
ming to be experienced. During the
month of March the exports of specie,
nearly ell of which was gold, amounted
to y, 331 sos, while for the correspond
ing month Of last year they aggregated
only $685., 900. The exports of specie
in the last week Of last month reached
81, 93s, 1T. What makes this exporta-
ton of specie the more noteworthy is
the fact that at the same time our ex-
ports of produce were much larger than
for the month of March last year, and
our imports smaller-the imports this
year amounting to so. S3S, $40, against
S31. 467, 641 last year. Our exports of
produce for March this year reached
500, 6S9, o44, against ST, ,491 last
year. The increased expectation OF
specie is not, therefore, due to increased
Importation of goods or to balance of
trade against Us, as these fignres clearly
ueiuoIlotta6e: IL - tueA uHduestloIiahhJ
due to the return of government bonds
to this country by foreign capitalists,
who became alarmed at the passage of
the silver bill. The position Of tie op-
ponents of reconciliation is thus amply
vindlcated. If this overflow of gold
continues, it is difficult to see how the
secretary Of the treasury can continue
the accumulation of gold for resump-
ton,
The reconciliation of silver has stop
pei the sale Of our bonds abroad, and
the only source of gold accumulation in
this country viii be from exports of our
products Wisconsin,

TIE Ne " METHOD.
Proposed for the Counting Of the Elec-
toral vote-The Amendment.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-The report of
the sub committee of the Louisiana COM
mittee charged with the consideration
of the method of electing the president
and vice president, was submitted to the
full committee last night, and agreed to
by one majority. The most important
feature in their proposed amendment to
the constitution is that of the electoral
votes and fractions thereof for each per-
son voted for as president In any state
shall be ascertained by multiplying his
entire popular vote. and thereby the
whole number of the electoral votes of
the state and dividing the product by
the aggregate popular vote of the state
for all persons voted for as president,
and the quotient shall be number OF
electoral votes and fractions thereof to
which such person shall be entitled,
using for such fraction three decimals
and no more. The amendment is de-
signed to preserve the relative power OF
the smaller states. The committee say
on this subject that the small states are
now overrun by the present electoral
system. 1t has happened already that
the vote of New York, cast solid by
general ticket, has decided the election
by few thousand majority, and has
not only settled thequestion for mil
lion voters but against eight million
other voters. The practical effect OF
the electoral system has been to increase
the relative importance and power of
large states, and the practice of voting
by a general ticket was introduced by
the large states for that purpose, and
when introduced ali were compelled to
follow it. Representative Hunton, of
the committee, proposed an amendment
ia substance that in case of dispute in
any state as to the electoral vote the
election shall be decided by the highest
judicial tribunal of such state, and the
vote shall be counted unless both houses
shall exclude it.
Although no serious objection was in
terposed by the committee to this
amendment, the committee did not vote
on it. 1t is the opinion of the members
that the proposed amendment to the
constitution will not receive the appro
baton of congress, two-thirds of both
branches being required to propose it
TO the states for adoption.

The Clyde for quarter of a century
has been the favorite spot for the build
ing of iron steamships, but it may be
that the banks Of the Delaware will, ere
long, secure a slice. at least, of this
profitable trade. It is said, and in New
York pretty generally believed, that the
New York White'Star Line has deter
mined to have a sister steamship to the
Bittanic built there. The figures would
seem to show that the company will
save money. and there is no reason to
doubt that it will get a staunch, and
probably speedier, ship, .

WEST ELIZABETH, Pa, Feb. IS, '79.
Mr.. Editor ALL the works around
this part of the country have stopped
and We cannot tell when they are 60
ing to start again. Some say they
will start in two weeks and others,
who profess to know, say they will not
start for thirty days; which of the
statements are true we can't say but
trust the former is. Another thing
that troubles us considerably is, what
is this stoppage for? we cannot hear
positively about it, but, the general
belief is that the market is glutted,
and the owners of the mines along
the river have agreed to stop for a
certain length of time instead of max
ing any reduction in wages, which Is
very good if true. The river has
been open the most part of the win
ter and great deal Of coal sent down,
which is done very seldom in the
winter season. Coal was shipped last
month which is usually shipped in
March, and that is what filed the
market. I will inform your readers
when the work starts, if am here.
Yours, CYMRo.

A CARD TO THE PUBL1c.-The edi-
tor was greatly grieved to find in the
JOURNAL of the 9th inst. an anony-
nous and slanderous "card" touching
the character of two of our most es-
Unable townsmen- Messrs. Humber
son and Keller. Had he been "at
the helm it would not have appear
ed under any circumstances, and he
believes his editorial course in the
past justifes him in referring thereto
as an assurance of what he would
have done had the article been offered
him for publication. He will say fur
Their that, besides declining the inser-
ton of that outrageous "card,' he
would have been happy to accord
Messrs. Humberson and Keller what
ever endorsement their christian char
acter required, or his humble pen
could have supplied. He knows both
gentlemen we'll, and, in common with
other neighbors, is wholly unprepnred
to credit the gratuitous impeachment
of their good name. He regrets ex-.
ceedingly the use made of his paper
for this purpose, but is willing to re-
trieve, as far as practicable, the great
wrong done these gentlemen.
