Senator Hampton VindIcates South


lis Carolina.
Among all the speeches made in the Q.
S. Senate during the deadlock which has
lasted so loag, and which still. continues,
shat of Senator Hampton, on the 29th ul
tiino, was one Of the best and most forci..
BE. It's thus described by the Washing
ton correspondent Of the Columbia Reg
aaer::
.taGeneral Hampton began very com
posedly, standing BY the side Of his desk
with his left hand in his pantaloons' pock-
ct. At frsthe did not use his carefully
prepared manuscript. But having to read
Mahone's remarks alIuding to the repudia-
ton of the debt of the Southern States.
including South Carolina, he continued to
read to the conclusion, throwing the sheets
on the floor first to one side and then to
the other. He showed up very vigorously
Mahone's ignorance of affairs in South
Carolina, in which he was aided by his
colleague General Butler; who silenced
Hoar efectualiy by alluding to has o5tuse-
ness in failing to comprehend very plain
statement. Leaving the debt Of South
Carolina, which he showed was foisted on
her by carpet-bag adventures, and faotre-
pudiated by her own people, he discussed
the matter Of organizing the Senate. AL
luding to the Kellogg case and recent
events for illustration of differences be-
tween the parties, he said Democrats had
been magnanimous in great matters like a
Senatorship and inothe formation OF the
committees while Republicans now insist
on turning out at an executive session. BY
the aid Of the Vice Presidents vote, few
officials who were Democrats. He took
ground strongly against the right Of the
Vice President to sway the Senate IN this
manner. 1t had never been contemplated
that he should have this power General
Hampton's language was sometimes Sc
we're, but entirely parliamentary. The
speech was quite effective, especially the
first part relating to South Carolina mat
ters. 1t was in the old style OF oratory,
but was delivered with eminent propriety
Of tone and manner. and with hardly AM
gestures. Digni6ed. it was not tame in
composition. but gracefully and happily
written. The Republicans were guilty Of
the discourtesy of pretending not to hear
your Senator throughout. Hoar, Ingalls,
and Dawes were notably busy reading
newspapers. General Buffers manner in
conyicting Mr.. Hoar of!dullness was in
imitable'

factory situation. It is a question wheth-
er the Secretary has power To extend or
continue the bonds called in at a lower
rate OF interest, or at any other rate of
interest. If he has power to continue
a six per cent. bond at three and one
half per cent. he would have equal
power to continue the same bond at ten
per cent. In other words. il it is in his
discretion to reduce the rate of interest,
it is equally in his power to increase it.
and there are serious doubts whetherany
such exercise of discretion rests with the
Secretary. What would be the sense of
Congress spending three months in dis
cussing the subject of interest and re-
funding il the discretion res sed with the

ment? In this case the action taken is
generally approved, and works to the
advantage of the Government: but in
some other ease the exercise of this same
discretion might produce very different
results. From advices so far received.
it is evident that nearly all holders of the
six per cent. bonds called in will accept
the offer to continue them at three
and one.half per cent. and it is expect
ed that call for the five per cents. &C.
cruing will be made upon the same
terms. PHoNo.

Lime-Kiln Club Maxims.

During the past week the Committee

maxims to the Club for adoption.

then said:

The POluIar Vote.

The New York Sun, in response to the
question wether it can give the exact pop
ular vote at the late Presidential election
says:
No. There is no official record of any
popular vote for Hancock or for Garfield
The popularv ote was cast not for the
candidates for President, but for the
candidates for Electors. Some Electors
received more votes than others Oh the
same ticket, so there is no exact index of
the vote intended for Hancock, or the
vote intended for Garfield. You can es-
innate it in every State, and then add up
the totals, but the result will be only
approximate. You can estimate Han
cocks popular vote for example. IN a
given State by putting it at the figures of
the Democratic Elector who got the high
est vote on the ticket; or you can esti-
mate it at the averge of the votes for all
the Electors in that State: and then when
you come to Maine. where Democrats and
Greenbackers voted combination ticket
for Electors, you can estimate it in any
way that helps out your fayorite theory.
These incertitudes explain why some
arithmeticians are able, without falsify-
ing the returns, to reckon up small
popular majority for Garfield; while
Others can preform the same entirely
supertiuous service for Hancock

Especial to the Plain Dealer. ]

WASHINGTON, April 29.-The impress
sion is gaining ground that the upshot
Of the deadlock matter will be that the
President will have to interpose toput an
end to the deadlock. OF course he is
averse to doing this while vestige Of
hope remains that either through the
backing down of the Democrats. or the
consideration for his whistles of those Of
his own political faith, the Senate will 60
into Executive session and confirm his
appointments; but the belief is that ere
long he will become convinced that there
is no hope of such action and will him
self move in the matter. No one seems
to be able to speak with authority on the
subject, but the general opinion is that
the President having called the Senate
in special session for the consideration of
Executive business. can dismiss it when
he pleases. Those interested in the ques.
tion are examining the histories of past
Congresses to find precedent for such a
course.
The Republicans are much discouraged
at the prospect and beginning to talk
about surendering. Riddleberger is in
despair and Malone is about ready to give
up and would if Gorham did not stiffen

AL0OK AHEAD.
Coming events casting their shadow
before and growing 10 be the most
interesting OF all questions.

The interest in the summer and fall
elections is commencing to crop out, and
within a month the chances of the diff.
ferent aspirants for the suffrage of the
sovereign people will be discussed pro and
con with constantly increasing animation.
The all protent argument as to the party
probabilities will be the figures of the last
contest and none will be more earnestly
canvassed than those of the congressional
struggle, and this being the fact. the new
B. q o. Red Book congressional edition
becomes almost Indispensable. No pub
lication of the political statistics ever
made equals it in extend of information
given, or in comprehensive arrangement.
1t shows not only the results of the cleo
tion of 1880. but the result as well of the
election of 1878. The Republican, DEM
ocratic and Greenback vote for the the
two elections is presented separately and
comparisons made for gains or losses of
the different parties. The total votes are
also the subject of comparison, and the
exhaustive showing is made of every con-
gressional district in the Union by coun.
ties. The book is one of one hundred and
twelve pages, is a marvel Typographical
beauty, being printed upon an elegantly
finished paper, and the cover is one of the
most exquisite things in the way of ar
tistic design issued for many year. The
Red Book is a B. & o. publication intend.
ed for something above the ordinary
circulation, and to this end is sent only
where requests are made to G. K. Lord, G.
P. A., Baltimore, Nd, for it by mail and
enclosing three cent stamp. The Red
Book will thus be mailed to all who may
write to Mr. Lord for it, and certainly
those who receive it will not part with it
for almost any money, so exceedingly
valuab lie tex book is it for all who are
interested in or care aught for political
statistics

Alexander II. Stephens prides himself

Alexander II. Stephens prides himself
on always keeping his promises strictly,
and saws he never broke but two in his
life. "As you are such flirt," merely
suggested the lady to whom he
was speaking, II suppose at least one
was a promise of marrige." by no
means, was the reply, I'D never break
such promise as that, nor did ever
make one. I've been flirting all my life,
but have always been careful not to make
any promise. The only two promises
ever broke were engagements to make
speeches at two different places in Geogia
in 1S4S. When was on my way to keep
the appointments I had my memorable
encounter with Cone and was so cut and
bruised that could not make the prom
ised speeches.
