Savannah morning news. [volume] (Savannah) 1868-1887, 1882-08-03

Yesterday both branches of Congress
passed the river and harbor bill over the
Presidents veto. There can be no dis
putting the fact that Mr.. Arthur's refusal
to sanction this measure was based on
good grounds, for it is simply a shame
ful piece of Radical plumber, and is
clearly unconstitutional The United
States Constitution gives to Con
gress power only over streams
which are, or may be, made navigable.
The insertion in this bill, therefore, of
items for the improvement of number
less imaginary or insignificant and worth
less creeks and branches solely for the
purpose of raiding the Treasury so as to
make personal capital among cOnstitu-
ents, and to procure money for campaign
purposes, was directly violahve of our
organic law, and was a most infamous
procedure.
We presume the only excuse which
the Democrats have to offer for voting
to pass the bill over the Presidents head,
is that there is no time to consider and
pass another measure before adjourn
ment, and unless some river and harbOr
bill is passed the interests of the country
must suffer. This, however, is no valid
excuse. Congress need not adjourn this
week or this month, and although it may
he exceedingly uncomfortable for our
statesmen to breathe the miasmatic at.
mosphere of Washington, or grOan and
sweat under a weary life at the capital
during the dog days, it is their duty to
do so if necessary.
True the South has no cause to com
plain. By this action of Congress the
Mississippi river can now be improved.
and our own river and harbor secures its
appropriation of $3.50, 900 without delay.
Still the Republican majority in that
body stands in a most unenviable posi-
ton. 1t is not only responsible for an
act which its own President and the
public generally have branded as a
shameless piece of robbery, but it has
persistently and obstinately refused relief
to the people grooming under the burden
of unnecessary taxation to the extent of
one hundred and fifty millions per
annum. This is beautiful record upon
which to appeal to the country during
the coming campaign.

That collation. of Congressman Ray,
If New Hampshire, which was spread
IN the rooms Of the Committee on Claims,
and which we fully ventilated in our
washington correspondence Yesterday,
has caused considerable scandal. 1t
seems that there is a joint rule of the
House and Senate which forbids the sale
Of liquor in the capitol building and
forbids the setting out Of it in any
of the rooms in the way of en-
tertainment The Speaker swears to
enforce the rules. And though
this rule has long been openly violated
IN the restaurants so far as beer is coz
cerned. and has been secretly violated by
serving whisky and other strong drinks
in teacups, still no case has occurred
before where Speaker has so shame
Iesslv violated his oath and INDUCED per
sonaIly in debauch in the capitol. 1t
Is stated that over forty members were
in the committee room during this dis
graceful proceeding, and champagne
flowed so freely that the frequent pop
ming of corks made the room resemble
saloon more than anything else. And
what is more, the doors were wide open,
so that strangers passing by could see
and hear the drunken Congressman at
their orgies. The "whiskeY drinking
Democracy, as the virtuous % RAIDS
love to call them, have never, in the
history OF the country, committed any
act which approaches to this in disgrace.
