SENATOR E1TOy,s POLITICAL CREED.

SENATOR E1ION'S POLITICAL CEEEU.
We regret to observe signs of disappoiut-
ment at Senator Eaton's late great speech
among his constituents. IL is as The IRIB-
UNE feared-they expected too much of him.
When he announced, some weeks ago, that
he would, at the proper time" pay his re-
spocts to Mr.. Blaine. he raised quite a huttcr
among Connecticut Democrats, who gave out
word at once that he would Jump on
Blaine and put themselves IN positions TO
witness the performance They said that
Blaine was in great state OF nervousness
over il. and there was little doubt thar after
Eaton had jumped on him once there would
be an end of him. The performance was so
long delayed and the Connecticut Democracy
seemed so intent, that The TRIBUNE vcntured
to remind the Senator that he was down on
theprogrammc FOR some gymnastics, and people
were waiting for him to begin Hence he
dumped y the other day. Not on Blaine,
but back to the period before the war. And
his constituents are not at all enthusiastic
over the performance. The Republican news
papers of Connecticut treat the effort with
great nrevcrence, some OF them going so far
as TO say that il is the same old speech
he used to make before the war, only
not half so good, while his Democratic
supporters say very little about it, and are
manifestly disappointed. This Jumping busi-
ness was threatened in connection with Mr..
Blaines denial of the statement that Daniel
Webster called the Union a confederacy of
States. Said Mr.. Eaton 81 said that Mr..
"Webster called this "a cOnfederacy of
Estates i say that he called it not only q
confederacy of States. but a confederation

Mr.. Fernando Wood in an unguarded mo-

New-York in 1880, unless the election laws
are repealed. This statement is not unlikely
to set the country thinking.

Whether the movement to swell the Com
mission on the Tax Laws is largely the work
of interested corporations who seek to defeat
the bill and find the local pride of some Sen
ators a help to their scheme, or whether 1t Is
mainly a spontaneous movement among the
politicians, with perhaps here and there q
Senator of the character Of Mr. Sessions do
ing his best for the corporations, 1t may be
difficult TO say. But whatever may be the
impulse. the effect remains the same. There
is no hone now that the bill will pass IN its
original shape. just now the two houses, in
each of which there is large Republican
majority, are engaged in a struggle over the re-
tention OF Mr. Thomas j. Creamer. q Democrat
whose history is pretty well known, as "a
member of the Commission. The Assembly
very properly struck Mr.. Creamers name
from the list, with one of the other new
names, but the Senate, under the control OF
the same combination which first enlarged the
Commission, refused to concur The Assem-
bly hss since appointed a new Conference
Committee which is said to be firmly opposed
to Mr. Creamer. Ii is to be hoped that the
Assembly will hold out on this point. 1t
would be better to have no Tax Law Com
mission this year than to place such men
as Mr.. Creamer upon it. The upshot of the
whole matter will probably be that we shall
have no Commission, in which case it is to
be hoped that Mr. Sessions will have his re-
ward.

Another day of voting upon the Warner
bill leaves the repudiatOrs still ii confusion,
and scores at least one victory for The honest
money men. The fourth section, as amended
at Mr. Marsh's motion ON Tuesday, was
adopted yesterday by vote of 113 10 lO9-
a clear victory for honest dealing. Later
on, General Garfield made sharp issue
10y declaring the clauses which provide
that silver certificates may be used TO pay the
interest on the National debt, shall be receiva-
bic at par for all dues to the Government, in
cllding duties, and may be computed as part
of the lawful money reserve OF National
banks, to be unconstitutional; and he met the
refusal of the Democrats to allow vote upon
his amendment striking them out with dec
laration that the Republicans would decline to
furnish quorum until this privilege was
granted. The prospect of defeating the bill is
still good.
New-York tribune., 1879-05-22

Mr.. Ecclesine enjoys the distinction of being
the only New-YOrk member of the Senate
who voted against the bill to protect Nassau
ST. and Broadway on its final passage. The
bin has now gone to the Governor supported
by the unanimous voice of the business men
and the press of this city, and, with the ex-
ception of Mr. Ecclcsine and one member Of
the Assembly, by the entire New-York dele
CATION in the Legislature. This needless af-
front to the great business interests which
Mr.. Ecclesine, in part, represents, must be ad-
mitted to be Characteristic Of his whole ca
reer His political strength is not with the
respectable classes, poor and rich, but
with the poor who are 50 ignorant that
they are easily deceived and the vile
who do the grimy work of local pol
itics. Mr.. Eccesine has been conspicuous ever
since ne entered politics for attempting to
gain the votes of labOring men by demagOgue
speeches, in the Legislature and out Of il, full
oil the idea of fixing wages by law, prohibit
ing contract labor on Government work, etc.
The most lamentable feature of the case is
the fact that be is not in the least self
deceived. He is q young man OF some
ability, a graduate of Columbia College, who
has deliberately cast III his fortunes with the
low and ignorant classes of society in order
to obtain political preferment, and steadily
lnisrepresents the plainest facts of political
economy in order to win the favor of simple
minded mon who do not know that be laughs
at them while he dcceives them. This is not
a cheerful spectacle, and it is to be hoped
that some transformation in our politics will
soon remove II from the public gaze.

vexed question of his continuance at the head

public was astounded by the issue of his book !;

Secretary Sherman's letter must end all dis
cuSsion of his name as the possible Repub-
lcau candidate for Governor of Ohio. HIS
decision must be regarded as wise one,
both for the Republican party and for the
SeclGtary's personal interests. Some other
Republican can carry Ohio, but probably no
other man could take Mr.. Sherman's place at
the head of the Treasury and complete so

HoMEwARD COME OUR EAGLES
As if to put to flight all the fears that
our gold standard advocates INDUCED in
that gold would leave the country when
silver was put in circulation, we are now
told that the Bank of England is about
to yield up our gold eagles and send
them home speedily. The news is that
the withdrawal of $25O,OO0 gold from
the Bank of England on Wednesday vas

this country. The bank price for tt EN-
is tbs. I'd. per double eagle. The vari-
ous financial articles In London yester.
day morning all stated that this ship
ment was the probable precursor o
larger shipments, in payment for guam
titles of American produce arriving Ii
England and in France, and that tht
steady decline in the rates of exchange
has pointed to such movement in bul
lion for some time past. 1t is understood
that the Bank OF England holds lary'
amount in American Eagles. New

has already been ordered shipped rhi

In addition to the enormous balance
of trade already in our favor, our exports
continue large without precedent. The
shipments from Baltimore last week
were two millions, from New York
seven millions and yet the outflow of
grain to supply the European scarcity,
from scant harvests, is hardly begun.
The receipts of cotton at the shipping
ports indicate that the new crop OF
cotton is coming in and the expectations
in this staple will greatly swell the bal
ance Of trade in our favor. There is no
corresponding increase in our importa-
tions and the difference must, therefore,
be made up in payments in gold.

The ATTACKS upon the City Coun-

eight Republicans and thirteen Demo-
