appropriations, reported deficiency bill for
about 925, 900. Passed.
TALK RESUMED.

The House then went into committee Of the
whole on the legislative appropriation bill.
Mr.. Bailey characterized the proposed repeal
as an infamous usurpation power on the part of
the Democratic party. It was not asked for by
tho people or country, but by the Demoeratic
leaders and politicians. he predicted the Re
publicans would march to political victory in
1880 with Grant as their leader.
Mr.. Bayne alleged there were three eonspic-
uous objections to the pending legislation.
The first was that it was framed to coerce the
President in repeating or modifying the federal
election law under tho penslty of refusing
necessary supplies to tho government. This
was usurpation on the part Of the majority in
the two Houses. The secenI objection Was
that the proposed legislation was supported on
the ground that the government had not the
constitutional right to supervise and regulate
the election of members of Congress until the
States were in revolt. This would be putting
dangerous, if not fatal interpret alton on the
constitution. The third objection was that the
existence and enforcement of the statutes pro-
posed to be repealed or modified were indis-
pensable to fair elections in many sections of
the country. He proceeded to empEfy these
propositions.
Mr.: Covert made speech, on tho Democratic
side of tho question, confning himself princi-
pally to recital of what he characterized as
the ''highhknded outrsges'' perpetrated in New
York under color of tho infamous federal eleo-
ton law.
Mr.. Geddes, referring to consideration Of
PRESIDENTIAL VETO,
said that he would not call in question the
presidential title, but that he would never for
give nor forget the wrong by which Hayes held
his seat, and that he had sworn so his ceuntry's
altar never to cease his efforts, never to lay
down the legal, peaceful and constitutional
weapon of warfare until the fraud and crime
by which the present incumbent held his office,
were condemned at , free eleetion, and tho
choice of the people inaugurated.
Mr.. Thompson spoke on the Democratic side
and Bayne and Shallsnbarger on the Republican
side. Recess.

WHY THE sE1Tz LAW WAS PASSED

Senator John Seitz of Seneca county,
is quiet digni6ed country gentleman,
of the strictest integrity and honesty a
man who would scorn to do a mean act
himself and who would pursue with re.
lentless vengeance any person guilty of
crime of any sort. Senator Seitz is in
Charley Fosters Congressional district,
and for many years he has been aware
of the glaring acts of bribery openly car.
ried on by Foster in election campaigns.
Last year Mr.. Foster was outrageously
bold and daring in deeds Of corruption.
1t was more than the Senatorcould bear,
From out Of his Just wrath emanated
what 10, known as the Seitzi law, for the
purity of elections, written by himself
and passed by the Legislative, to prevent
Charles Foster and other persons from
perpelradng fraud and committing more
crime. ~ ieTda n

HOW FRAUD IS SUSTAINED AND
FOREIGN COMMERCE CHECKED.

Mr., Evarts has exhibited extraordi-
nary interest in protecting the officials
charged with corruption, fraud and SIAN
der at the Shanghai Consulate. Owing
to the tactics pursued by the defence OF
Mr.. Seward in consuming time and pro-
curing postponements, the House was
prevented from getting direct vote on
the impeachment in the closing days of
the last session Of Congress. The evil
dence against him was crushing, and
there could be TO reasonable doubtwhat
the decision must ultimately have been,
had he been brought to trial.
The subject was renewed by Mr.Sprin'
ger at the extra session, and is now be-
fore the Judiciary Committee. In this
state of affairs, with the case still open
and under investigation, practically, Mr..
Evarts permits Seward to return to China
with the tacit understanding that he will
resign before the meeting of Congress,
and thus escape the punishment of his
crimes. In Japan and in China the re-
turn of Seward to Pekin, with these SER
ious charges still pending, is publicly
condemned as a wanton offence to a
friendly Government. lra
When Stewards confederate, O. B Brad
ford, the Consular Clerk and Vice Consul
at Shanghai, was tried for felony, con-
yicted and imprisoned, Mr.. Evsrts or
dered him to the United States as a wit
ness in the investigation Of Seward, and
thus defeated the regular course Of JUS.

resign, in the face of the most serious
accusations against him as Q public oti
Ger. without even tho excuse that Grant
had when be accepted Belknap's resig-
nation, In Bradford's case the trial at
Shanghai and the testimony, ,at Wash
ington left no doubt concerning his guilt,
As if to round of this scandal, Mr.. Ey-
arts not long ago transferred David H.
Bailey from the Coneplate at Hong Kong
to that at atShanghai, knowing him to be
a special friend OF Stewards, and mem
ber Of the Consular Ring in the East,
Bailey could be relied on to shut down
the, gates on any further exposures Of
the fottenness and rascality atShsnghsi,
and he gave proof Of deserving this con.
fidence BY removing from the Consulate
