MR.. swANsoN's SPEECH.

Hon. Claude A. Swanson spoke on
the 4th in Columbian Hall to large
audience. Mr.. Swanson s speech was
a mastery effort and was well rece,v
ed. 1t was patriotic, timely, logical,
eloquent, and interesting. He called
attention to those events which had
brought about the Declaration of In
dependence, he spoke of the happiness
it had produced, how it had taught
liberty throughout christendom, but
how it is on the verge of destruction
in the colonial policy we are entering
upon. He warned the people OF the
dangers just now lurking in our coun-
try, brought about by the hnilding up
of an aristOcracy of wealth, and a
strong Centralized government. The
laborer is being treate.! as The harf, and
the army and navy are growing with
such rapidity as to lord it over the
civilian. He cited the downfall of
Portugal aid Spain, and predicted
that England would yet suff from
her greed for dependencies throughout
the world. When a lai ion il strong at
home, he said, she may hold and man.
age colonies, but the drains Of foreign
wars will after awhile disgust and
weary those who are taxed to carry
them IN and then tho downfall will
come. Our country was never intend.
ed to have a colonial policy. He criti
cised the idea of the flag floating
where the constitution is prohibited,
and closed with an eloquent appeal to
the patriotism and loyalty OF the
American citizen.

and to save the districts of weak con-
gressmen, the deficiency would have
been materially lessened. 1t is also,
true, of course, that the graft" prat :
ticed by the Machen, Beavers crowd,
the relics of the Hanna Heath admins
tration, also added its share to the de-
ficiency. In view of the fact that the
)urts have sustained the department
in its elimination from the second class
privilege of flake" newspapers the re-
ceipts of the Postoffice Department
should more closely approximate the
expenses than ever before.
Governor Francis and other members
of the st. Louis Exposition Company
have been in Washington to get the
SIS .OOO, 900 appropriated for the EXPOSE
ton by Congress, but payable only
when the Exposition should itself have
expended $1O,O0O,OO0. The gentlemen
who represented the exposition com
pany had much trouble convincing
Secretary Shaw that they had perform
ed their part of the contract. The
Secretary of the Treasury was inclined
to object to such payments as $40, 900
paid for the floating of loan, $50, 900
gate receipts much of which was taken
in on Sundays, although Congress, at
the behest of the Sabbatarians, has ex-
presslv stipulated that the Exposition
must be closed on Sundays, etc. The
company finally convinced the Score
tary, however, will go its way rejoicing,
with s., 900 900 in United States legal
tenders in its inside pocket, so to
speak.

Early RenIies to ROsser.

In a Baltimore Sun of not very
ancient date, we find the folio wing:
A special dispatch to The Sun from
Richmond, Va, received last night,
says: General Jubal A. Early this af-
ternoon publishes long letter in re-
ply to the statement of Gen. Thomas
L. Rosser recently made to reporter
of Minneapolis in relation to Early's
burning of the town OF Chambersburg,
Pa, in July, 1864. Gen. Early says:
"Rosser has heretofore shown this
utter disregard for the truth in some
publications be has made in regard to
some of the operations Of the Army of
Northern Virginia, and especially
those of my command, in the Valley
in 1864, and have fully demonstrated
the falsity of many OF bis statements
Having previously figured extensively
as falsifier of history, he has recently
appeared in another role-that of a
consummate ass and it must be con-
fessed that he has proved himself an
adept in that character" To show
what ROsser thought of him in Janu-
airy. 1868. Gen. Early gives an extract
from one of Rosser's letters, in which
he calls him bis mobile friend" Con-
tinuing. Early says: "Rosser now thinks
his noble friend ought to have been
hung for the burning of Chambers.
burg Really. what Rosser thinks or
says in regard to myself disturbs me
very little. What actually does dis
tress me is to see one who occupied the
position of a general officer in the Con-
federate army fall as low as he has fall
en-. It seems that a residence of sew
eral years in the Northwest, and the
accumulation of considerable property
there by means best known to himself,
have had the effect of convincing him
that the South was all wrong in the
struggle she made for Independence
and self government, and that it was
fortunate that his mighty efforts for
four years in her cause failed of sue
cess. To those true and faithful Con
federates who, like myself, feel mOrti-
fed when one of our former comrades
becomes a renegade to the cause we
fought for, have this consolation to
offer: We do not stand alone in having
apOstates from our ranks. We learn
that even one of the brightest of the
archangles-the Son of the Morning,
who stood around the throne of the
Almighty-rebelled against his Crea-
tor land carried off a number of the an
gels into the rebellion, and one of the
chosen apostles of the Saviour of man
kind betrayed his Master with kiss
for thirty pieces of silver. This much,
however, is to be said in behalf of
Judas Iscariot: When he became aware
of the effect Of his treachery he had
the grace to cast from him the thirty
pieces of silver, the price of his treach-
cry, and 60 and hang himself. II some
of our renegades would 60 and do like
wise we might regard the act as some
atonement for their apOstasy, and the
most creditable act they could now per-
