took up the subject of Inter State
commerce this morning.

then reoccurring to the original
Tuesdays proceedings.

bill, and after being amended on
motion of Mr.. Bliss in several pars

WASHINGTON, Feb. 13, 1880.
During the absence of the Dems
ocratic leaders from the Senate,
Senator Hamlin (Me.) very adroitly
presented the minority report Of
the Republican members of the
Louisiana Legislature, which pro>
tests against the majority report re>
Gently presented and in which Sens
ator Kellogg is upjustly assailed.
1t was referred to the Committee
on Privileges and Elections and
ordered printed The Democratic
Senators were greatly annoyed to-
day when they found it in the
Record, as it is a voluminous docu-
ment recounting all the murders
and election frauds committed in
the last six years. The Democrats
threaten to strike tho report from
the record tomorrow, but if the ats
tempt is made an exciting political
debate will follow which will last
several days.
The National Republican of to-
morrow will contain a letter from
Senator Gordon to Mr.. Stephens, in
which several words are spelled
wrong. The publication is full
of meat, for one Of Cor,
dcn's charges against Simmons,
the Georgia Supervisor, was that
he could not spell correctly. Mr..
Stephens will prove from the Cen
erals own letter that he can not
spell as well as Simmons.

THE State OF affairs depicted in our
Washington correspondence this
morning is burning shame and a
disgrace to the whole country. The
lecherous dogs who are deliberately
bringing Disgrace and ruin upon un-

posed by name, so that their constitu-
ents might retire them to the shades
of private life, where their oppertuni-
ties for carrying out schemes OF infa-
my and gratifying their british lusts

claims to be "son of Solomon nor
to possess information more extended
than the rest of average men, but it
does claim to know its business.
Whether or not the Dispatch can or
not we leave to the public. 1t can
form its own opinion, remembering
that it does not know that General

fraud upon the constitution, and stat
utes carefully framed In compliance
with the constitution. Under the
impulse Of these decisions the assessed
value by local assessors of all property
in the State rose from 1851. 7s0. 554 in
1877 to $40, $50. 80 in 1873, but in
1879 we find it decreased to $406, $685.
1856, indicating tendency on the part
of assessors to get back into the old
groove. If what seems to be Wanton
disregard of law IN the matter of the
assessment of property possesses a
single redeeming feature we are at a
loss to understand in what respect. If
taxes to certain amount are levied
against any county, town or city the
assessment Of TIE property of such
municipality at one-third its value
does not operate to reduce the amount
of tax SO levied, and even if it did no
community can honorahly seek to

THE feeling in Maine over the I'M
warranted usurpation there continues
intense, and the fact that arms and
ammunition ereordered shipped from
the State arsenal at Bangor, to Angus
ia, indicates a purpose on the part of
Garcelon and his followers to ''hold
the fort" at all hazards. The Bangor
people, however, resisted the favorite
Democratic pastime of "depleting
Northern arsenals'' and the sinews of
war did not go forward How the an
gelic spirits of the early Puritans must
weep at the degeneracy of their de-
scendants in the Pine Tree State.
