FOR 1880.

During the coming Presidential year The Tribune
will be IA more effective agency than for telling
the news best worth knowing, and for enforcing
sound politics. From the day the closed it has
been most anxious for end of sectional strife.
But it saw two years ago, and the first persist
emily to Proclaim the danger to the country
from the revived alliance of the Solid South and
Tammany Hall. Against that danger it sought to
rally the old party Of Freedom and the Union. 1t
began by demanding the abandonment of personal
dislikes and set the example. 1t called for end
to attacks upon each other instead of the enemy;
and for the heartiest agreement upon whatever fit
candidates the majority should put up against the
common foe. Since then the tide of disaster has
been turned back; every doubtful state has been
won, and the Omcns for National victory were never
more cheering
THE TRIBUNE'S POSITION.
Of The Trbunc's share in all this those speak
most enthusiastically who have seen most of the
struggle. 1t will faithfully portray the warming
phases of the campaign now beginning. 1t will
earnestly strive that the party Of Freedom Union
and Public Faith may select the surest to win,
and surest to make good President But i'm this
crisis 1t can conceive OF no nomination this party
could make that would not be preferable to the best
that could possibly be supported by the Solid South
and Tammany Hall.

money than before to hold the distinction it has
enjoyed of the largest circulation dnOnq the best

OUR WASHINGTON LETTER.
wAsnINoroN, D. G., March Q, 1880

WAsnINeToN, d. c., March 8, 1880.
1t is believed by everybody in Congress
( that the rules yesterday adopted by the
House will facilitate Legislation by allow
ing the will Of the majority to be more
readily expressed. There arc only about
one third as many rules as before, and they
are no more difficult to understand, each
by itself or coll ectively, than the others,
yet they cover everything covered by the
larger number.
If, now, the House will wrestle for
month or two with the appropriation bills,
giving its time only to them and few
other measures of general interest, there
may be realized the Speakers prophesy of
adjournment in May. This will leave the
business of the country to take care of
itself, which is what is needed and what it
wants, and will remove from mems minds
the idea that Congress Is resolving itself
into machine to. influence Presidential
nominations.
BY three separate votes the House Com
mittee on Ways and Means showed its
determination not to interfere with tariff
matters at this session. Except in the
matter of printing materials there had been
no greater influence brought to bear in
favor Of change than was presented against
change. 1t may be considered settled, L
think, that Congress will order commits
sion of citizens, who will be authorized to
inquire into necessary and judicious chang
es in the tariff laws, and that no important
action will be taken until the report of
the Commission is received and considered.
Senator Randolph ON Monday, called up
the noted case of Gen. Fitz John Porter,
and spoke subsequently in behalf Of the
bill, which in substance restores that officer
to his rank in the army from which he
was dismissed after trial in 1S6 8. The bill
for restoration is based on an inquiry sub
sequently made by authority by Generals
Scho6eld, Terry and Geety, who, after
examining new evidence declared the Gen.
eral not guilty of the offences for which he
was dismissed. Senator Logan spoke ye s.
terday iu opposition to the bill. There
will be considerable debate probably, but
not partisan one, and the bill is sure to
pass.
What are known aa the estates rights"
cases were disposed of on Monday by the
U. S. Supreme Court. The decision virtu-
ally declares for one thing that State laws
which prevent the selection of colored men
as Jurors are in violation to the fourteenth
amendment Of the Constitution.
The public debt statement is reported by
Secretary Sherman to have been decreased
to the amount of nearly six million in
February. This is very good showing.

The Last Survivor of Perry's Victory
Dead.

A Shelby Ohio exchange says On
Sunday morning last the news spread
over our town that Mr.. John Rice died
at 8 o'clock. Many were heard to say,
and so the old veteran is gone at last"
He was a few months over ninety years
old, and, we believe, was born in Juni-
alta county Pennsylvania.
The funeral services were held on
Tuesday 10th inst, and hundreds were
in attendance, thus paying their last re-
spects to the remains of the last surviv-
or of Perry's victory. His remains were
escorted to the grave by the Shelby Cor
net Band, the Shelby Light Artillery
and the Shelby Light Guards; also Mr..
Solomon Firoved, a veteran of 1919, and
soldiers of the Mexican and late civil
war. The clergy of the village conduct
ed the funeral services in the M. e.
Church, which were very impressive
The public schools dismissed for the
day and the pupils and teachers attend
ed In body. Col. John Dempsey had
charge of the arrangement for burial,
and deserves much credit for his ability
in conducting it, The principal cities
of Ohio paid their respects by lowering
flags to half mast. We cannot close
this article without referring to the aged
hero's experience ut Put-in-Bay, Sept.
10th, 1913.
In the summer of 1918, he enlisted
under Com. Perry. By August Cd, Per-
ry's fleet was equipped and on the 4th
sailed to meet the enemy. Being disap-
pointed in this they crnised in the vicin-
ity of Maiden till the 10th, when the
fleet consisting of nine vessels and fifty
four guns sailed to meet Commodore
Barclay, who was in command of the
British fleet of six vessels and sixty
guns. The Union Jack was hoisted at
eleven O'Clock, having for its motto the
dying words of the lamented Lawrence:
DON'T GIVE UP THE SHIP"
This was received with repeated cheer
ing by officers and crews. The subject
of this sketch was on board the Scorp-
ion, commanded by Captain Champion.
and his duty was to carry powder to the
guns. He said, in relating what he re-
membered of the battle, that broadside
after broadside was hurled against Per-
ry's vessels, and he saw the gallant
Commodore after his flag ship "Law-
ence" was shot to pieces, being rowed
to the Niagara. Two of the enemy's
vessels were within gunshot of his course
as he was passing to the Niagara, and a
third one even nearer, while the balls
struck around the gallant little crew
thick and fast, dashing the water in all
directions and making their chance to
reach their destination seem hazardous
in the extreme. Amid deafening cheers
and shouts they boarded the good Niaga-
ra, and amid the same cheers, up rose
again the colors that had been shot from
the ill-fated Lawrence, and once more
they waved over gallant crew. The
final result is matter of history and
now the very last participant in that
world renowned action, ON the side of
