The daily dispatch. [volume] (Richmond [Va.]) 1850-1884, 1879-05-12

day evening TO the predicted veto Of the
Laid bill. The reading finally being dis
pensed With, Senator Ben. Hill delivered
his Iong-expected speech. It was remark
able effort, and portions Of IL could
not be excellcd. He commented with
point on the long list; OF authorities cited BY
Edmunds yesterday, and replied to a good
deal OF Conkling's speech. his refutation
Of the declaration OF the New York Senator
that New York paid such large portion Of
the taxes to the Federal Government be-
cause there the Government collects the du-
ties on the goods consumed all over the
South and West could not have been more
complete or effective. His defence OF the
South and West against the attacks made
upon them was manly and able. He
showed that the political sections OF the
bill only repeal laws that long since should
have been wiped from the statute-book.
BE told Conkling and Edmunds, in so many
words. that neither they nor any senator in
the chamber believed in the statements or
the arguments they had used to inflame the
North against the South. Or his argument
on the exercise Of the veto power, Senator
Withers says it is the best he has yet heard,
and that it is conclusive. Mr.. Hill not only
kept the galleries filed, but members of the
House remained until the conclusion OF his
splendid effort.
THE OHIO G0TERN0RsHIP-HR. THURMAN.
The Ohio Democrats are still very anx.
ious about their governorship, and great
many continue to urge Dir. Thurman to
run. In fact, some say he must run if be
means to make IN earnest effort for the
presidency. They are nfdent that be can
carry the Germans and the bulk of the Ma
tionals against Sherman, who will be can
didate if he is. General Ewing would like
to be senator, and such an arrangement
would suit him and his friends. Mr.. Til
denis friends in Ohio, it is reported, want
Bishop to run again. My own Judgment is
that Mr. Sherman is not inclined to tax his
strength with so heavy and exacting cam
paign as this will be, because in such con.
test and with such immense stakes it would
require protracted and unceasing labor on
his part.
