4 remark by Governor Foraker
that. cit is a matter OF common
report, accepted by many, that
Thurman and half his family car
ried delicacies to Confederate pris-
oners locked up at Camp Chase,
three or four miles from here, during
the war;" appears to have aroused
the ire OF old bandana, who evident
" does not like any reference to
this portion of his copperhead re-
cord. But the Governor touched
very lightly upon matter which
was source OF much irritation on
the loyal people Of Columbus while
the fate of the Nation yet hung in
the balance. 1t was during
critical period OF the rebellion when
traitors at home were IS active in
their way against the Government
as armed rebels at the front.
The Columbus Weekly Herald
gives telling description OF the way
the "Noble Roman" showed his
sympathies 10 the South during the
war as follows:
The iudecisive battle OF Pittsburgh
landing had been fought, and
number of prisoners taken in the
second days conflict had been
brought to Camp Chase for conhne-
ment. No sooner was their arrival
known i'm Columbus than a coterie
of copperheads led by the Thurman
family Immediately began the work
of carrying them jellies and all
sorts of delicacies. This was not
necessary to their welfare as they
we're In comfortable quarters, and
received the same fare as the Union
soldiers who guarded them-very
different from the treatment OF our
boys in Southern prison pens-but
was intended and operated as an
open expression OF sympathy for
the rebel cause. The prisoners
lived like princes, and the matter
was carried to such an extent that
the Union soldiers became discon-
tented, and the commanding officer
made representations to Governor
Todd asking that the practice be
stopped, as it was utterly denoraliz-
ing in every way. The Governor
wrote to Secretary Stanton who is-
sued an order on the subject, which
order is now doubtless on file in the
proper archives. This gave tenn
porary check to the proceedings.
Shortly after this the rebel OH GERS
we're granted the freedom OF the
city on parole and at oace made the
Thurman mansion their headquar'
tiers. The Legislature was in ses-
sion at the time, and the dining and
wineing OF these officers at the Thur
man mansion with other demon
strstions became 60 disgusting to
tho loyal sentiment Of the commu'
nity that the Governor was again
asked to interfere. He did SO and
the result was an order from the
Secretary of War sending the Con.
federates back to their quarters.
There is no instance on record

aimed. If the resolution he
said, was aimed at him, he most

Courts was passed.
The bill providing for the exchange of
worn or mutilated subsidiary coinage
or new, unWorn coin was passed,
The House resumed consideration OF
the retaliation bill.
Phelps cheerfulIy conceded to the
President the additional power he asked
for: but regretted that there was
no more likelihood that he would use
this'poWer than that he would nse the
power given him eighteen months
ago. No one supposed the powers
granted then were all that was neces-
sary until August %, when the
President went out alone and
shot the rocket of his Presidential
message into the clear and peaceful
sky. 1t was so clear that the Senate
chamber was still echoing with the
voices of the Presidential Senators,
urging their fellows to come and buy
the rights which Canada had refused to
do. He charged the President with
HEAPING FAvoRs ON CANADIAN SHIPPERS
by land and sea, in order that they
might compete with their American
rivals. The President was now the
President of the message, not the Presi
dent of the treaty. He was 10 longer
Governor General of Canada; he
was President of the United States,
and the past would be forgiven.
In the course of his remarks, Phelps
referred to the definition made by
O'Neill, of Missouri, that the Presi-

document.
O'Neiil-Don't You think it is?
Phelps-l do and the gentleman
from Kentucky, McCrearv, said that
message ought to be kept with the free
trade message.
McC'eary-L did not say that that
message should stand with the free
trade message, for l deny that the
PRESIDENT has sent to Congress any free
trade message.
Phelps said The gentleman had re-
ferred to two messages TO which he
{ Phelps) had alluded. The two mes
sages ought to stand together al the
Siamese twins OF Presidential policy.
Belmont sail the President had
brayely and well performed his duty to
guard and protect the rights Of Anne r
lean citizens, and to maintain the dig
nifty and honor of the nation. We are

foreign power.
Davis, OF Massachusetts, said the re-
lected treaty surrendered the New Eng
land fisherman naked to his enemies
1t was part and parcel of the free
trade conspiracy, which was inaugu-
rated IN the White House, con
tinued the House + Rsprese ta-
tives, sought to prostitute American
labor. The utterances of the President
in opposition to the entire policy
Of his entire administration would
not command the confidence
the country. The IRISH would
Indignantly resent the idea of sham
opposition to Great Britain and Canada.
Thousands of them had desired to cast
their lot with the Republican party.
Scott said the United States asked
for nothing but what belonged to it
under right treaties and it would &C
cept nothing less. He had secured
official data to show the num-
Der of Canadian and American
cars and the weight of. their content,
transported in bond from one
point in the United States through
Canada to another point in the United
States during the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1887. The gross money values
of this transportation 10 Canadian rail-
roads was at low estimate $500 600.
When 1t was consl dered that the steel
rails over which this immense tonnage
was transported in Canada were
not subject to the duty of SIT a
ton and that the labor employed in
the transportation paid no taxes into
our treasury and did not consume the
products of our farmers, the injustice
to our wage workers would become
apparent. For this injustice the Re-
publican party was responsible
Pending the conclusion of Scott's re-
marks, the House adjourned.

SENATE.

WASHINGTON, September 5.-Stewar
offered resolution for the appointment
of select committee to investigate the
various matters connected with the
execution of the laws as to public lane
and timber depro dations. Committee
on contingent expenses.
Sherman offered resolution, which
was adopted, requesting the President
to inform the Senate whether the re-
cent treaty with China and the amend
ments adopted by the Senate, had been
ratified by the Emperor of China.
He added, From the statements
made in the debate yes .erday and the
day before, it is manifestly due to the
dignity of the Senate and to the regu-
lar and orderly transaction of public
affairs, that the Senate should have this
information from the President before
proceeding further with the Chinese
BILL" He hoped the resolution would
be transmitted to the President with
out delay.
Allison presented the conference re-
port on the army appropriation bill,
showing the concurrence in all the
amendments excspt those with refer
ence to Notifications, etc. A new con-
ference was ordered.
The Senate then proceeded to the
consideration of the resolution hel eto-
fore offered by Chandler in relation to
the recent election in Louisiana, and
was addressed by Pascoe.
Upon the co lclusion of Senator Pas
GOES remarks, the
CHINESE RESTRICTION BILL
was taken up, and Mr.. George ad-
dressed the Senate. He opened by re-.
ferring to the criticism of himself and
other former shareholders yesterday b.
Teller. He (George) claimed the right
of free speech and free discussion as
an American Senator and held that the
fact of his having once been a slave
owner, should be no impeachment of
that right.
Coming to the question of Chinese
immigration, George declared the Re-
publican party vas responsible for the
introduction of Chinese into this coun-
try, by the passage of the act of 1862,
which was aimed merely at the coolie
trade and not at voluntary immigra-
ton.
Mitchell questioned the correctness
of Georges construction of the act of
1862. that it was restrictive only Of
coo!ie trade, and claimed the object of
the law was to prevent the introduce
ton of coolies into the United States.
George quoted largely from the
speeches of distinguished Republic
cans in defence of the admis-
sion and of the naturalization of
Cinnamon and said: There is the
record which your party has made. 1t
stands for itself and it cslnot be
answered before the American people
by the charge that the Senator who
brings it before them has been a slave
holder"
He was interrupted by long question
from Mitchell, but declined to be
diverted from the line of his argument.
The vote was then taken, and was
Yeas 80, nays 0, but as
there was no quorum present, and no
probability of getting one in good time,
the Senate adjourned, leaving the Chi
nese bill undisposed of.

years to get far-seeing glasses, and l
mad concluded that could get none
that would be of any benefit to me. But

your system, [ take pleasure in saying
that the glasses furnished by you have
restored my vision both for reading ard
far-seeing to the same condition as in
my boyhood. 1 resolved to have you
furnish me glasses after [ witnessed
your system to beautiful young lady
of sixteen years, from Summit County,
afflicted with complicated condition
of the eyesight. She told me she had
never been able to distinguish ones
face at a distance of six feet. With
DR.. Prentice's glasses she could see as
well as any one. AS she looked up and
down the street, and for the first time
in her life saw the distant mountain
tops, she was greatly delighted, and
inquired with childish simplicity, do
other people see this way?" 1t seemed
that new world was opened to her
view, as novel and beautiful as "Eden's

parents.

An Absurd Claim

OTTAWA, Ont, September 5.-Senator
Scott, late Secretary of State, says the
claim of the Dominion Government to
a joint ownership in the st. Clare
Flats Canal rendering retaliation there
impossible, is absurd. Even if Canadian
Territory was encroached on, it was
with tacit consent, and in signing The
Washington treaty of 1871, the Domi-
MON substantially conceded to the
United States the right to control.

George A. Smith, of Salt Lake City
is young man well and favorabIy
known throughout Utah. He has been
troubled with bad case Of cross eyes
all his life. Several years ago he had
an operation performed by an oculist,
but it was not successful and did no
good, consequently his faith was very
much shaken about its ever being made
straight. But at the Continental Hotel
on Monday of this week, DIR. Prentice
made it straight in less than half q
minute. Mr.. Smith is delighted with
the result and his many friends
astonished. Mr.. Smith said it caused
him practically no pain. +,
