zenship. We took them to our bosoms
as brethren, believing that they had re-
pented of their sins. We killed for
them the fatted calf and invited them
to the feast, and they graVely informed
us that they had always owned that
animal, and were not thankful for the
invitation. They were bound by the
laws of war and Of nations to pay ev-
cry dollar of the debt contracted for
their subjugation, and we forgaVe
them that debt, and to-day you are
being taxed heavily to pay the interest
on the debt that they ought to have
paid. Such magnanimity as was ex-
tended by this Nation to those rebels
have never been witnessed on earth
since God made the earth, and in my
humble judgment will never be wit
messed again.
The greatest mistake and the gravest
error that we committed was in not
hanging enough of those rebels to
make treason forever odious. Some
body committed q crime. Either those
men who rose in rebellion committed
the greatest crime known to human
law, or our own brave soldiers who
went out to fight to save this Govern
ment, were murderers.
And now, after twenty Years-after
an absence of four years from the Sen
ate-I go back and take my seat, and
what do fndP The selt-same preten-
sions are rung in my ears from day to
day. The men have changed-the
measures not at all. / find those
paroled rebels who have never been
relieved from their parole of honor to
obey the laws-saying: "Do this; obey
our will, or we will starVe your Govern
ment to death" Now, if l am to die,
/ would rather be shot dead with mus
kerry than be starved to death.

NY fellow citizens you may take the

on board of her the flags of all the
States that were lately in rebellion
against this Government; raise to her
peak the stars and bars of the rebellion
start her with all her bunting to the
breeze, sail her around the world and
you would not get salute of one pop
gun from any fort on earth.
Take the smallest ship that sails the
ocean, mark her "U. s. A."-United

ship of war of any Nation on Gods
foot-stool that would not receive her
with National salute. And yet the
Republican party has done all this.
We took your Government when it was
despised among the Nations, and we
have raised it to this high point Of
honor-and yet you tell us we ought to
die.

power in Congress the rebels openly
declared their intentions, and boldly
and defantly attempted to force their
will upon the Nation. They began
to bluster, and with brazen audacity
and arrogant shamelessness insist that
all the wholesome laws passed during
the war for the protection Of liberty
and the rights of the people should be
repealed, and with braggart threats in
sisted if the President did not yield to
their clamor they would starve the
Government into submission or permit
it to die for want of the means upon
which only it could exist. Such was
the programme openly carried out by
the traitors and rebels who by fraud
and wickedness had raised themselves
to power. .
But their triumph has been a brief
one, and their future has in it neither
hope ner consolation. For little time
they may continue to haunt the halls
of the Capitol, and play few brief
hours upon the stage, but they are
comparatively harmless, and the peo-
pie will see that the Government they
saved in war shall be carried on quietly
in peace. Nobody will now care for
the threats of the braggarts or the
boosters. At the helm Of this Nation
is brave and fearless statesman, and
standing by him, holding up his hands,
and bidding him God-speed in the dis
charge of his duties, are a loyal ma
iority of the people of the Union. The
appeal of Congress has been answered,
and nobody mistakes the verdict

BAYARD TAYLOR's OPINION OF
THE CHINESE.

The late Bayard Taylor, while in Chi
ma, had an opportunity, from personal
observation, of forming correct opin-
ion of the coolies. In his work on "In.
dia, China and JAPAN" he says
"It is my deliberate opinion that the
Chinese are, morally, the most debased
people on the face Of the earth. Forms
of vice, which in other countries are
barely named, are in China so common
as to excite no comment among the ma
tives. They constitute the surface level,
and below them are depths of depravity
80 shocking and horrible, that their
character cannot even be limited There
are some dark shadows in human ma
ture which we naturally shrink from pen
etrating, and made no attempt to collect
information of this kind; but there was
enough in the things which l could not
avoid seeing and hearing, which are
brought almost daily to the notice of ev-
cry foreign resident, to inepire me with
powerful aversion to the Chinese race.
Their touch is pollution, and harsh as
the opinion may seem, justice to our own
race demands that they should not be
permitted to settle on our shore. Sci
ence may have lost something, but man"
kind has gained by the exclusive policy,
which has governed China during the
past century.

WHAT BEN BUTLER SAYS OF THE
FRAUD,

AsFAOOe
Gen. Butler till lately an unrelenting
Republican, in his individual report Of
the Potter Investigation, of some two
hundred pages, maintains that the ap-
pointment of the Judges Of the Supreme
Court upon the commission to decide
the late Presidential election, has done
more har to the cause of justice by i'm
pairing the reverence people have always
justly had for the integrity of the deCis.
ions of that court, and the experiment
ought never to be tried again; that the
counting in of Hayes was obtained by
series of gross and unjustifable irregu-
larities and frauds, which cannot be too
strongly condemned and reprobated;
that if any title to the Governorship of
Louisiana resulted from the late elec-
ton in that State to any one, it was to
Governor Packard, who was legally cleo
ted that the act of Hayes in appointing
and sending MacVeigh's commission to
Louisiana, was an act wholly unauthorized
by the Constitution, and not within the
scope of the Executive, and specially
reprehensible, as its purpose and motive
was to carry out corrupt political agree
ment and arrangement on his part made
by his friends with his knowledge and
consent-fruits of which he is still en-
joying without right and against law.

CoNaaEss will meet in extra session on

At all events, there are but two sides to
question, or measure, when pending in

against. There is no third courae-un-
less he plays dodger, as Mckinley did on
the Chinese question. But this is not
manly. We are supposing member
will act the man, and either be for or
against Hence it is, there are but two
political parties in this country. The
fundamental law is the Constitution, and
the Democratic construction of that in
strument, with our plain, common sense
views. are either right or wrong. One is
either for or against when these views

IT is but justice to say of the present
Democratic House that in spite of it's
theoretical errors on questions offnance,
it has been remarkably free from COM

been sincere, consistent and successful in

my. The House has reason to be proud
of its record on this great head OF legis"
lative duty.-N Y, Herald

served, and we may add, that the lobby

TEMPERANCE LEGISLATION.

Petitions are pouring into the Legisla-
ture almost constantly, asking for some
new legislation on the temperance ques-
ton. Zeal is good, but there may be
zeal without knowledge. These petit
TONERS ought to know that there are
enough and more than enough laws on
the statute books nOU to accomplish all
the purposes they desire, if they were
only enforced. But they are dead letters,
like good deal of other legislation, and
will remain so till proper moral senti-
ment exists to cause their enforcement.
What we want, is not so much new law,
as the rigorous enforcement of existing
laws. All that makes law worth any
thing for the prevention and punishment
Of crime, is the certainty that it will be
enforced. That, just so sure as it is vio-
lated just 80 sure will punishment fol-
low. But remove this certainty, make
it altogether doubtful, or quite improba-
BILE, that any punishment will follow the
violation OF given law, and just to that
extent you degrade the law aud make it
contemplate. Just to that extent you
weaken it's power for restraining evil,
and give license and immunity to all
sorts of crime. And yet, just this result
is the inevitable influence of laws that
are only passed, and never enforced

GIVE us THE EVIDENCE.

The columns of the Repository for sew
eral days past have teemed with articles
in reference to the Fessler Compromise
Bond Bill, in which the writers have as.
serted that they had certain information
that warrants them in saying that the
bondsmen of George Fessler are able to
pay the entire amount of deficit in the
treasury, and that it can be collected of
them. As this is an exact contradiction
to statements that we heard the pub
Usher of the Repository make, person
ally, we ask why that paper does not
present the facts and figures to back up
their statements. Let us have the fttctS
and proof The mere assertion that GER
tain things are so is no evidence at all,
and carries but little weight. We were
led to favor the compromise bill in a
great measure by the assertions OF Mr..
Saxton, to the effect that the bondsmen
were execution proof and if they saw
fit to make fight, nothing, or but very
little could be collected of them. If the
Repository is working for the best inter
esls of the taxpayers, as it claims to be,
why don't it come down to solid facts, 80
that the rest Of us who were led to favor
the bill through the counsel of its pro.
prietor, can see that his advice was as
worthless as he at present seems desir-
GUS of making it. Will the Repository
present the evidence that caused its pro-
prietor to turn such somersault2 Mas

THE REPOSITORY ABUSING A
PROMINENT REPUBLICAN CIT
IZEN.
Capt. W. S. Williams of our city, has
for years been engineer in charge of a
division of the Ohio canals, and has
filed, in his capacity as capable civil
engineer, other positions. Itseems Geo.
Paul of Akron, elected last fall as one of
the State Board of Canal Commissioners,
wanted to displace Capt. Williams, Re-
publican though he is, and give the place
to a near relative. An act of the Legis'
lature, giving the chief engineer vote
with the Board, prevented the removal
of Capt. Williams, and disappointed this
Akron st. Paul. The Repository sailed in
to Capt. Williams for daring to hold on
to his position, and disappoint this Paul

glory. Capt. Williams administered the
