The Wellington enterprise. [volume] (Wellington, Ohio) 1867-188?, 1881-04-21
From Our Washington Correspondent.

Winter is over and gone but the farce
that is going on daily at the Senate still
continues. Senators have paired and
gone till bsre quorum is now present
in the city. For time the galleries were
crowded at every session, but the thing
has become SO stale that buncombe
speeches are now made to empty seats.
The country is beginning to ask what is
to be accomplished by this long continu-
ed struggle. True there are officers and
appointees to be made or unmade, con-
tingent upon the outcome of the contest,
but IL is not also pregnant with results
that will couple the Republican party
with readjuster's idea of debt paying
that borders closely upon repudiation.
Some are able to see through the smoke
of this conflict, the advanced couriers of

generation will never point to the United
States Senate as a specimen brick Of

Well the whole country may as we'll
surrender. Mule business in Indiana
will be poor hereafter in all the fusure.

young men will soon be among the
things that are lost in the oblivion of
forge,fulness and known only as the
relics of semi-barbaric age. God speed

For right is right since God Is God
And right the cause will win.

Secretary Window ihas met the finan-
ci,L problem squarely and his act will
inspire confidence in the future of his
administration. Responses are being
made to his call by Banks all over the
country. The Tradesmen's National
Bank of New Haven telegraphed &C.

Treasury to be renewed at 81 per cent.
There is no doubt but the total amount
of the maturing bonds will be practically
converted into 81 per cent loan. In
deed it is known that syndicate in
New York is preparing to buy up all the
skies believing that there will be q spec
ulstion in them at three and one-half
per cent after July 1st.

the signal of adding another stripe. On

result was the adoption of a flag with
