Gen. Bragg has a Justly earned repu-
tation for conciseness, clearness and di-
rectness. Those admirable qualities in
public speaker one cannot fail to notice
in him in conversation or during the de-
livery of a speech. In the report OF
congressional proceedings, Bragg's re-
marks always strike the reader by their
wonderful incisive qualities, their direct
bearing on the point in issue and their
invariable good sense. Bragg is DEM
ocrat of such profound convictions that
he is almost violent in his denuuciation
of the course of the republican party,
but this did not prevent him from hurl-
ing defiance at southern democrats and
telling them plainly that northern demo-
Gratis did not need their aid. Though
ihe south, it brought some of its men,
bers to realization of their folly in yot-
ing for claims TO which the entire country
is opposed. More than this it brought
CONSERVATION into the republican ranks,
and deprived them of an tissue" on
which they We're determined TO march to
victory in 1880.
On Friday last Gen. Bragg had some
thing more to say on the question of
claims, and his utterances are marked by
the same fearless candor and pointed
sarcasm. In these claims the question
Of 'loyalty' was proved, that is, the
loyalty of suffers. Gen. Bragg ridi-
culed such loyalty and stated that it was
enforced by a Gordon of soldiers with
bayonets, and then it "thrived mostly
npon supplies the commissaries of the
army had furnished" This is the loyal
ty which now demands compensation at
the hands of the government. \ worth
less class of people, without courage to
join either army and like parasites living
on either army as occasion presented.
The active avowed enemy is entitled to
more consideration than such hypocrites
who protested to be loyal when it would
be inimical to their interests to be other

PAPERS outside the state are accustom-
ed to take an incorrect view of the elect.
ion of Carpenter to the senate. Senator
Carpenter is in no respect stalwart and
his election was defeat of the stalwart
element. Reyes was its representative
and would undoubtedly be elected were
it not for Carpenters personal populari-
ty. The majority of the republicans in
this state are as willing to be represented
by an extreme republican as are the re-
pubhcans Of Michigan or Illinois, and
10 man could have prevented this except
he who stands high in the estimation OF
the people-Matt Carpenter.

RESUMPTION AGAIN.

Great ado is made over Ewing's pro-
posed amendments to the repeal Of the
resumption act which were considered
on Saturday last in the house. A major
ity Of the democrats voted in favor OF
tue amendments which provided q. } that
greenbacks should be receivable for Gus
tom duties; q. that hereafter the pro-
ceeds of the sale of bonds should be ap-
piled to the redemption Of the bonds
bearing the highest rate Of interest and
that interest should cease on these bonds
thirty days after their being called.
That certainly is not the wisest legisla-
ton that would in any way imperil re-
sumption. But facts go to prove that
there is not the remotest danger of any
rush being made on the treasury for
gold. The amount OF gold received on
deposit is said be much larger than the
amount paid out for the redemption of
greenbacks, and as the secretary has
determined to give greenbacks instead
of certificates, for deposits of specie it
would seem that the necessity of issuing
interest bearing bonds to increase the
fund already on hand for resumption, no
longer exists. 1t is, perhaps, the best
policy to leave the matter discretionary
with the secretary SO that he may be
prepared to meet any contingency that
may arise. But it is clear that those
who voted to discontinue the bonded
Indebtedness of the United States, and
to more rapidly call in the bonds draw
ing high rate of interest, have consid-
cradle reason and argument Oh their
side. 1t would bring about a material
reduction in the national debt, without
much as the greeuback is preferred IN
business, to gold coin, and no anxiety to
exchange it for gold is perceptible. The
coin reserve on hand the first of January
last, has not been diminished and there
IS no probability that it will through the
redemption of greenbacks. Besides the
secretary has other resources beside the
sale Of bonds and these are the ones that
should be employed instead of the easier
and more costly one,-the sale of interest
bearing bonds.
We should be better pleased if our
members from this state voted against the
amendments, more because they savored
somewhat of the theory of greenbackism
than that we fear their adoption would
prove in any way injurious. Their votes
are on the side of economy, however,
and this is something deserving of more
attention than mere sentiment. 1t was
certainly the latter that influenced re-
publican members, and not any serious
fear that resumption was endangered
In voting as they did they certainly did
a conservative thing, but showed that
their oftexpressed confidence that the
people preferred greenbacks to gold was
not sincere.
The republican papers that gloat over
the action of the democrats in this matter
stultify themselves to some extent. They
have at many times proved that the gov
eminent was receiving more coin, with
out the sale of bonds, than it was paying
out. The logical inference from this
would be, that it is proper to stop any
further expense in charging the redemp-
ton fund, since it was increasing in the
regular course of business.

QUITE an unusual matter occupied the
attention of the senate, Monday night.
1t appears a quorum was not present and
the sergeant at arms was instructed to
request senators to attend. Some re-
sponded, but the imperious Conkling
would give no satisfaction to the messen-
ger, and the constitutional power OF COM
pelilng absent members to attend was
discussed for some time. A quorum was
finally secured without resorting to ex.
IRENE measures.

A BOILER exploded in Stockton Cal
on the 22nd killing a large number of
people. The explosion was terrific one,
it threw the body of the engine $50 feet
through a crowd of 300 persons who had
assembled to see it work. 1t weighed
$500 pounds. Twelve dead bodies lay
in one heap. Some were thrown a dis
lance of 100 feet, some had their heads
blown completely off and others were
thrown to the ground with such force as
to break every bone in their bodies. The
carelessness of the engineer was the
cause.

The records of crime in

The records of crime in the
State of Ohio surpass anything
in blackness and horror that were
ever known in the South. From
mobbing a poor man who is as
sisting a lady whom he finds trav
cling alone, and hanging him to
a bridge, to stealing a dead body
from a grave there is nothing in
the whole black catalogue of
crimes that are not committed
daily and weekly, and polished
off in the newspapers for the
breakfast reading of the citizens
every morning. When one hears
the howlings of the hypocrites
in che North over some lawless-
ness in the South it can only
arouse contempt in a sentient
mind.

part of the labor is yet to be com

The judiciary system, and the
disposition OF the outstanding

mountain that must be tunneled
