Senator Erion'. remarks in tie Senate
the other day, and then Judge in what
estimation he will be held bv the peo-
Pile. a majority of over 100000 OF
whom voied against his occupancy of
the position into which he WAS finally
juggled.
Whether any general legi-ltion will
be undertaken depends very much
upon the action of Mr. Hayes.
Should he undertake to defeat the
will of Congress there will he dead
lock, aud the time will he filed with
other business; but il the approprIa-
ton bills, rs passed. are signed. the
session will end before May. Tue
Sre.lbacs members are clam0rous tor
financial legislation, and several infiu-
ential Democrats support them IN II.
Alexander Stephens amGng the num-
ber. The majority, however, seem
to feel that nothing beneficial can be
accomplished. that the public good
can best be served by letting things
alone until the regular session. This
is Speaker R,ndall's view, and he Is
not making much haste in appointing
! the committees.
The Commissioner of Pensions MAS
guilty recently of gross outrage III
suspending number OF Washington
attorneys. He charged them with at
tempting fraud upon pensioners, and
yet the only ground he had for his
charge WAS, that ole DImmIck got
attorneys to sign IA statement of fact,
that he had rendered service in secur-
lug the passage OF the Arrears of Pen
sion bill. This statement Dimmick
attached to a begging circular. n-king
contributions, and sent il in to some
pensioners. The attorneys knew moth
ing of the use m ,de of their sigma
lures. Yet Mr.. Bentley suspended
them with an immense blow about ef-
fciency, etc. The peculiar part of
the matter was, that just AT this june
ture Mr.. Bentley was moving heaven
and earth To secure the passage of his
go Commission bill," Ivy which 60
surgeons of hi- own appointing would
have the entire determining of pen
sions; fraud so ralpahle and unmiii-
gated that these attorneys joined in
denOuncing it. Their suspension was
undoubtedly due To this officials de-
sire to influence Congress, or their re-
/ inslatement would not have 80 prompt
Iy followed, as it did, the defeat of the
fraud at the hands of Senators VuOr-
he- Shields, and Others. Shields said
the originator of The bill should have
a leather medal voted him by the pen
sioners of the country. 1t is pity,
indeed, that such a milici0us. fal>ify-
ing, unworthy official cannot be
reached bv the men whom he injure,
lie is blot upon the pension system,
and is Us great fraud II, any ever At,
tempted under the pension laws. Sem
alor Beck charged him, openly in the
Senate, with ttlsehood, aud 10 day he
is without Il friend, save Carl Schurz.

turned out OF fat places they held ur-
til they imagined them theirs by di-
vine rights. Even old grandma Hoar
frets and whines in the most ridicU-
lous fashion. But, Notwithstanding
all this, the present majority propose
to run things according to their own
notions of right and to look out a
little farther tor the interests of the
country at large. 1t is their idea that

A HISTORY COMPLETED.


There will be three reports from the
Potter Committee The majority pre-.
pared by Mr. Potter, the Republican
report by Mr.lIiscock, and the indi.
vidual and Independent reflections of
General Butler, which will probably be
the most read, as people fancy the
General will tell the whole truth, no
matter who II hurts. 1t is said he
will be as severe on the Presidential
theft as Chairman Potter, but will also
review with like severity the negotia-
tions and bargaining of January and
February, 1877, between Southern
Democrats and Hayes representatives.
The Pittsburg Post says the Potter
Committee has accomplished a vast
amount of work it has set nearly
one hundred days, taken three thousand
pages of closely printed testimony, and
examined Louisiana, and held sessions
in Washington, New York and Atlantic
City. We presume it has como as
near and upward Of two hundred wit
nesses it had subcommittee in
Florida reaching the bottom facts OF
the great question committed TO it, as
was possible for any Committee con-
fronted by men of great power and in
iuencc, with unlimited patronage and
money, vitality interested in battling
the investigation.
The testimony taken irresistably
points TO one conclusion, and forbids
any other In this respect the case is
made ou. and closed up. There is no
escape from tho verdict long since
rendered by all fair men who have
made a study of the events immedi.
ately preceding and following the
election, that the Republican party,
through its responsible leaders,is is guilty
of forcing President on the country
to violence, bribery, forgery and per-
jury, and that this President has be-
come an accessory to the crime amer,
If not before the fact, by rewarding
the blackest criminals engaged in the
neiarious wrong with important and
lucrative Office. He has constituted
pay roll OF infamy which takes from
the National Treasury every year,
from one to two hundred thousand
dollars to reward connivance or pur-
chase silence.
OF course the investigations of the
Committee reveal and emphasize a
hideous chapter of our political history.
But it is far better that it should be
told in all Its damning detail, than COW
cred up, thereby inviting repetition.
Whatever the future may hold in store
for the Republic, there viii be no repe-
tltion of the events of lS76-'77, except
at the cost of national disruption and
civil war.

A REMINISCENCE.


The editor of the New York World
opens fire upon one Of Senator Hills
"sword-tongued" warriors, who dis
charged his usual blank cartridges
within the walls of the Senate Cham.
Der a few days before the adjournment,
in this way
"Senator Zachary Chambers little
fusilade was not aimed at Senator
Lamar at all. 1t was a posthumous
reply to the late Senator Wigfall, Of
Texas, as ought to have been apparent
from Senator Zachary's opening allu.
sion to what happened to him on the
floor of the Senate twenty years ago."
What happened to him on the floor OF
the Senate "twenty years ago" was
this. Senator Zachary, who was
younger then though not less discreet
than he now is, had made some remarks
during the absence Of Senator Wigiall,
in the course of which he had playful.
ly coupled the name Of that Senator
with the name Of Benedict Arnold,
whom, by tho way, in tho excitement
of the moment, he described as Bcnja.
min Arnold. Senator Wigfall return
ing, heard of this, and getting up, fixed
upon the Senator from Michigan pair
of decidedly disagreeablo eyes, and
proceeded to perform upon him practi-
cally the operation which Senator
Zachary is so much addicted to per.
forming metaphorically upon the tail
Of the British lion. The Texan Sena-
tor wound up his brief remarks by
saying: AS to the personal illusions
OF the Senator from Michigan, should
hold Mr.. Zachary Chandler personally
responsible for those if there was any
use in II. But there Is no use in IL
For Mr.. Zachary Chandler never is and
never will be personally responsible ior
anything that Senator Zachary Chand-
Ter may say, in or out Of this Senate
ChambeI. There was n slight move
ment around the Senate as the Texan
took his seat. Then arose the Sena-
tor from Michigan and--gravely walk
cd out of the chamber From that day
to this not word has been heard from
him in reply until Monday evening
last. Let us hope his mind is cased Al
last 1"

Ex-senator Patterson, of South Car
olina, has decided to make his home in

WE'LL, VET0l


1t is authoritatively announced in
the New York Tribune that Mr.. Hayes
purposely called the extra session OF
Congress at an early day so that ample
time would be given for the passage
of several sets of appropriation bills
before the expiration of the fiscal year.
He will veto all Appropriation bills
which come to him saddled with what
be is pleased to call partisan legisla-
ton" In other words, the Republi-
cans, having dsgraced the statutes with
lot of infamous partisan legislation,
propose TO resist even TO the point Of
revolution the repeal of those laws at
the hands Of Congress representing
the will of the people. There are
some Republicans, says the Tribune,
who desire the President, in his
message to Congress, "to go 50 far as
to mako known his views upon the
very threshold of the new session con-
cerning the adding Of such legislation
as appeared in those bills which have
just failed." If Mr.. Hayes so far for
got himself as to indulge in perform
ance of this kind, he would be simply
reminded that the Republicans first
established the custom OF tacking po.
litical measures to Appropriation bills
and would be assured that the Demo
Gratis were in readiness to meet the
issues which they have raised. He
might, also, be requested to attend to
his own business.
Clearfield Republican. [volume] (Clearfield, Pa.) 1851-1937, 1879-03-19

A threat comes from Republican
sources that Mr.. Hayes will try his
veto power on the Democratic meas
urcs Of the next Congress. II the i'm
portant measures are put through as
riders to Appropriation bills, Mr.. Hayes
can veto to his hearts content. The
army can go without pay and tho legis-
lative and executive branches can run
on short rations without embarrassing
tho Democracy.

California will have no representa-
tives in the extra. session of Congress.
This must not be accepted as an evil
dence that the State has seeded in re-
venge for the failure Of thcanti- Chinese
bill. They have way of postponing
their Congressional elections in that
State until The year following the cleo.
tions in other States and are never pre-
pared for an extra session.
