Gon, Butler has secured control of the bill, and will movo to substitute for it tho inflation moasure which recontly passed the Sonato, That much of the good which Senator Sumnor did lives aftor him was made ovident by the people of Hayti in the celebration of his funoral. The sorvicos were attonded by the Prosident, his Cabinet, andall the Diplomatic corps, and badges of mourning wero worn from the 21st to the 26th of March, —e lllt'. Garfield, in the coursoof his speech on tho currency question, suggostod the homely English phrase, *chenp and nasty,” as admira- bly describing the monoy which Congress has decided to issue, Only Lalf of the adago is ap- propriate. Experienco has certainly not demon- strated that paper-money is chonp. A rumor that doserves somo attention comos from New York, to tho offcct that President Grant hLas detormined to romove Beorotary "Richardson, veto tho inflation bill, and begin a now life. It is protiy cortein that Mr. Richard- son’s official eareer is abont closed. Banfiold and Senborn havo borne 5o hoavily on him a8 to dostroy the fow claims to favorablo considera- tion that ko once possessed. Having eaton and drunk at tho oxponso of the Pacific Mail Company, and accepted its hospi- talitica at Chester, the House of Represonta- tives will probably rofuse to continue " the aubsidy of $500,000 which has lapsed by reason of the Company's failure t6 meot the conditions on which it was givon. A sub-committeo of the Postal Committee has uvanimously agreed to recommend that the subsidy be covered into the Tronsury, m———— Specinl Agont Jayne has resigned, snd his family has beon romoved from Now Yorl Stato to o point which. 18 to sorve ns s harbor of rafugo for him in caso e should become un- plonsantly involved by proccoedings in the courts. Itisbolieved that Mr. Jayne carries .with him out of offico tho confidence and os- teom of his suporier officers, just as Tom Mur- phy did a¥ tho timo of his resiguation. — Banborn testified before the Ways and Means Committee yesterday that his collections nmounted to 3427,036, of which one-half went to the Government, * His total oxpenses wero $156,483. 'The largest itomin this last total is 243,876, prid to W. J. Morrison, who Las béon looking after the incomo taxes of Americans re- sding in Europe. Sanborn informed the Com- mittoo that ho hoped to turn in £500,000 from this quarter ; but it is not likely that ho will be allowed the priviloge of doing so. Tho Commit- $oo bns roported to tho Houso a bill abolishing all moieties. A decision , hos been rendered by Judge Blod- gott constrmng the act of Congress passed on 1bo 18th of February, 1873, which defines tho ro- Intion existing botween State and United States Courts in bankruptey proceeding. It is tho opinion of the Judge tbat tho law does not for- bid Bankruptcy Courta to take jurisdiction when proceedings have boen commenced in tho Stato Courts, but simply provides that orders made by tho latter for the distribution of assots, whon the samo are in ity possossion, shall not bo in- terferod with, S i . Bonator Stewart, of evads, hag intmduco;l in the Bonate o bill in relation to tho construction of rollroadsin the Torritorios. Ar. Stewart's operations in connection with the Emme Mine bubblo and lis zenlous offorts in bobalf of the Dustrict Ring have not secured for him an on- viablo reputution; nnd o result of his record is to cast suspicion upon any mossuro which he s known to favor. His blll wau bofore the Souato yestorday, aud was subjected to motciless eerutiny. Anamendment was offered just be- fore adjournment, and Ig atill ponding, providing that the law shall not bo so construed a4 to opon Indian reservations to yailway companies, This, doubtless, i tho sonsitive apot in tho bill, The Chicago produce markats woro gonorally caslor yestordny, with Jess businoss doing.

Olvil-Servico Boform no Jongor monna & -dif- \forent mothod of chaosing the oivil officera of tho Government, but tho adoption of safo- guards ngainst fraud by those alrondy in offlco. Tho bill roported by tho Civil-Servico Roform Commlititeo, abolishing fines and forbidding the uge of public monoy for privato purposes; is tho not resultof the Reform movemont., It was undor discussion in the Iouso yestordsy, snd Mr. Butlor objocted to it on the ground that. its | intontion was to rostriot tho privilegos of cortain high Govornmont oficials. His argument was : Goorge Washington used Govornment horses nftor Lo becamo Presidont of the United States; therofore Atty.-Gen. Willinme i8 justified in paying for landaulottes out of tho contingont fund of his department, Bo it apponra that the Administration, it Gon. Butlor may bo rogarded ng its oxponont, is opposed to Civil-Servics " Re- form in tho mildest type which it ia capable of assuming, i In tho District of Columbia Invostigation yos- torday, Mr, McOlolland, junior member of tho famous paving-firm, told what he know of tho circumstances atteudiug tho procuriug of the “ironized” contract from the Bonrd of Public Works, The essontinl part of Lis evidenco was thnt Goorgo R. Chittenden, n well-known citizon of Chieago, recoived £97,000 for his influence in the mattor. Mr. Chittenden was asked by TripuNE roportor it Lo had any explanation to offor in regard to Mr. McClolland's statoment. Ho rofused to say anything about the alloged poyment of monoy, but admitted that Lo had been promised onc-third of all the profits aris« ing from contracts obtained Dy Lim for laying tho ** ironized ", pavemont in Eastorn Jcitios, A son of the sonior momber of the firm was also interviewed by the reportor. (Ho denied any knowledge of the alleged payment to Mr. Chit- tonden, but added, naively cuough, that *con- tracts in Washington wore lot wholly by favor; and, of course, influence of somo kind had to bo used in procuringgthem," Judgo Blodgott, of the United States District Court, has givon an opinion coucorning the logali- ty ot “put” contracts, suoh nsare made every dey on the Chicago Board of Trade. Tho suit under consideration was instituted by cortain oroditors of Clandler, Pomoroy & Co. nnd Poyton R. Chandler, whoso failure was btought about by tho bresking of the cornor in oats in Juno‘ 1872, Tho Yputa” in quostion wero bonght from tho bankrupts for sbout 918,600. Thoy socurcd to the plrintiffs in this suit the privilege of dolivering, in all, about 8,700,000 bushels of oats, Tho amount claimed as damagos by tho failure of the dofondants to accept the *.puts™ is estimated at $£400,000. Judge Blodgett holds that the object of Chandler, Pomoroy & Co. in solling tho * puts™ was notorious, and that the contracts wore essontinlly wager-contracts. Theso focls boing taken for granted, the law in tho case unmistakably nvoids tho contracts as being contrary to public policy. 'The Judgo wished to be underatood as holding that “puts” mado simply for tho purpose of insuring prices are per- fectly legitimate. The claimanta were awarded 34 cent por bushel for tho amount of the “puts,” which tho Court estimatod to bo tho money actually paid over to the bankrupta, SUMNER'S VINDICATION, Ar. Sumner's suppressed speech vindicating himself from tho asporaions, libols, and menaces of the Administration canuot bo read without |- awarding to him the highest commendation for farbearance. His offonso consisted in opposing the ratifieation of the Progident's bargain with Baeg for tho purchase of S8an Domingo. Wo 1earn from this apeech that Gon, Graot said that it ho were not Presidont he would *call him to account,” and that Gen, Babcock declared that it hho was not ou ofticer of the army Lo would horsewhip him, TFor the same offense, Mr, Fish forgot the friendship of twenty years, and tho poreonal and oflicial help received from Mr, Sumner in the affairs of his own Departmont, and first throatened, then offered to bribe, and then denounced tho man who was both fearless and incorruptible. For this, Senator Howe pro- claimed to every ward caucus 1 tho country that Mr. Sumner was on unsafe Republican, and Son- ator Sherman ropeated tho calumny. For this, tho American Sonato solemnly deposed Charles Summner from tho Chairmanship of n committeo, and sought to make the deposition degrading by putting Simon Cameron in hig placo. Thoso proceedings wore followed by tho dismiseal of Mr, Motloy ns Ministor at London, and an ofiiciz] publication of tho roasons thoro- for which Mr. Sumner cleatly shows to bo want- ing in truth, Mr. Sumner's vindication is now made public, and it is completo, If it related to men who Lold offica beenuso of their ability sud standing, their personsl and intolleotual worth, it would ho orushing; opplied to thows to whom it does rofor, ninoty-nine men 1n overy hundrod will say that it is neithor startling nor strango ; it is only what mjght havo been oxpected. Nevortholess, mmpartial history can best toll the story of the natioual degradation Ly narrating the progressivo steps by which the popular mind was famitiarizod with publio dis- honor, malice, and falsehood, and was tanght to rogard Congroasional, aud espocially Bonatorial, submission to Excoutive commands as a matter of course, Iin such a recital thoro is no mere striking incident than this war upon a Bevator who dared to do hin dutyto the counfry, nnd who doflod the menaces and rojected the bribes offered to induce him to abandan his post, Inthis defonse ho relates tho Prosident's own oxpression of a desire to hnve personal revonge; ho also relates tho threat of the Prosidont’s confidontial omissnry to San Domingo and Private Beoratary, thint Lig military rank alono prevented his taking vongeanco on the porson of the Benator, and thon calls attention to tho fact that tho Prosi- dout continued {o mako uso of this Dblusterlng porson as his oflicfal messengor to tho Bonate. Tho protext given for the romoval of Mr. Bum- nor from tho Commitico on Forolgn folations was, that io hod mado bimself o pffensivo to the Presidens and to Booretary Fiah that they ocould not hold porsonal intorcourso with him. Yot Mr. Bumnor shows that long aftor tho maiter of Han Domingo, long after tho throata of tho Prosidont and Gon, Dabeock, Mr, Fish had visltod at his house, aud had long conforonoes about.diplomatio aftairs, In ono of thoo intorviows, Mr. Fish rolated what wore tho Prosidont’s complaints, Tuis intorviow was in Juno, 1870, just boforo tho final rojeotion of tho Ban Domingo troaty, Ab thin timo he apponled to tho Bonator to conso opposing the Prosldont,! and, whon asked in what partionlar Lo bad op- posod {ho Prosidont, Mr. Fish statod (1) in the mattor of the Tonure-of-Offica not; (2) in the caso of Russoll Jones, Ministor to Brusaols; and, last, in tho matter of San Domingo, Finding tho Bonator inflexiblo s to tho last, the Booro- tary*deliboratoly offored to bribo bim to loave tho Senato, by proposing to sond him Minlstor to London. Was this offer authorized by the Prosident? Horo In June, tho Seorotary of Btato formally offored to sond the Beustor as Minlator 0 Eugland, and, in Docombor follow- ing, the “ Bonato Caucus,” on tho protoxt that tho Proaldont and Secretary cauld hold no per- sonal or official intercourso with him, doposed him from tho Committeo which ho bnd so long honored 08 Ohwmirman, This shallow pretext, disgracoful to tho Benato under any ciroum- stanaes, {8 now oxposed and proved to bo s falso- hood; voi Sorintor Iowo and Sanator Blicrman assimed the duty of dissominating it as truo throughout tho country. Some time lter, whon Mr. Motloy suggestod that he was removed from London ‘becauss of his intlmacy with Mr. Sumnor, Mr. Fish, in sn ofiiclal papor, pronounced by Mr. Sumner as unparal- loled in Btato papors, declared tuat that removal was oceasioned by tha doath of Lord Clarendon, whon, in fact, as Mr. Sumner shows, tho unex- pected death of tho English Minister did not tako placo until after the romoval of Mr. Mot~ loy was known .ig England., Altogother, the supprossed spoech places Mr. Fish in o most un- onviable position, but onointo which his sub- sorvioncy to the President botrayed him,- Tho actors, Executivo and Bonatorial, in the removal of Charles Bumnor from the hoad of the Serate Committee, stand rebuked and dishonored by this cloar and fortifiod defonso lott for his own vindication by tho Massachusatts Senator. BOME NEEDED LAWS, A Congress thot passes laws which calmly ovarride those of Nature ought to bloss tho country with as much legislation a8 possiblo. God has 8o arranged matters thal monoy cannot Lo made by making promises to pay monoy; but Butler proposes to improve on God, and go leads Liis coliorta to pass & law for making money in this identical way, Buch powers must not lie fallow. Let us have more laws, A largo number of persons who deal in dry goods fiud themaolves seriously embarrassed by tho smoll amount of money they get for their. wares. Bupposs we lhave a neat little onnctment to the offcet that hereaftor n yard shall bo thirty inchos, and that ovorybody shall pay a8 much for tho new yard as thoy do now for tho old one. Then tho merchants would got more money, and commerco would rovive. A bill tomake a dollar worth adollar would bo & good thing. Congross ean mako money cheap, It bos just proclaimed its ability to do so. Coined gold is money. Thorefore, Congress can mako gold cheap, There is logic for Logan. Lot tho law bo: A greenback dollar shall bo worth $1 in gold.” Wiilo theso fixors of valucs are about it, however, thoy might aa well put the groonback at o premium by making it worth $1,60 in gold. It is well known that o former Congress passed a law by which the English pound sterling was made equal to $4.44 in our coin, and that never- theless the pound aterling has sinfully refused to equal less than $4.84 of such coin, It is ovi- dent that this old Congress did not possess o titho of tho powers of tho prosont one. Iislaws yielded to those of Nature. It is thercfore in- cumbent on the present Congross to re-enact thia old provision, and, by depressing the valuo of the pound, shiow tho effote despotisms of Europe what the American eaglo can do in the way of financo when his blood is up, It ia not to bo borno that history should con- tradict Congresas. When tho latter bonavolontly mokes monoy out of greon prper and black ink, ia tho former to bo euffered to show that such expedionts have slways resulted in panic and rulh? Wo should havo o Iaw at onco, sotling forth that tho Continontal currency did not do- preciate, and that the Frouch assignals were not ropudiated, and that the Austrian bank-notes aro at presont nt par, and that hereaftor no depro-~ ciation of paper currency shall ever happen, un- "less tho Congress of the United Btates shall hiave pessad o bill to give Neture free course “for thia time only." § Aftor theso and similar enactmonts beve be- come part of tho law of the land, the only legis- Iation necded,to ushor in thoMillonuinm will con- sist in the pssago by -Congress Almighty of & fow simplo bills, declaring that every man shall Lo a8 good a8 overybody elso and'a great deal botter, that overybody shall be as rich as any- body olso aud o grent deal richer, otc., ote, FORGETFULNESS OR LYING, ‘When the Ways and Moans Committeo wos ex- amining Sanborn, last Monday, ho enid, when asked if ho had foed Butler; * I never paid him a cont.” Tho two following questions 'wore thon put and snewored : Foster~Ilave you pald monoy to any one which you ‘had nny reason to bellevo was golug directly or indi- Teclly to auy member of Cougress? Hauborn—No, sir, Foster—You paid no member of Congress any coun sel-fees ? Sanborn—No, sir. Butlor hud indignantly deniod, in the House, TFostor's statement that Sanborn was represontod on the floor by his attorney. On Tucsdsy, San- born coufessed, undor oross-oxamination, that he had paid Butler “in the nelghborhood of 2,000 or 33,000 for legal sorvicos in the mattor of theno contracts.” Inthis one sontenco Sanborn managos to contradiet Butler and himselt flatly, o liod or else ho forgot, Butlor lied or olse ho forgot. It is Butler's froquont boast that Lo | never forgots anything. B. I\ B, by the way, hns boen ploading that no testimony should bo taken nbout lis conncotion with any rascality unless ko is presont. Buch a rule wonld require Lim to attend overy Investigation Committee every day. About all the men investigated aro bis frionds, A shedowy Cougressman bovers Lohind each ono of them, Undor tho pressuro of inquiry, the shadow gencrally solidifies Into Butler, Boorotary Richardaon's tostimony of March 81 containg o muhitude of profossions of complote, iguorance, Wo give two of thew, with extracte from Banboru's testimony of April 7: RBIOHARDEON, Nr, Yoster—Then you reully do not know much abont it [(hu Sanborn contract]? Mr, Rlchardsou—I do not know tho losst thing sbout 4, any more uan aboul am thousand ether tbioga that are dono tn the different divislons of tho Dopatiment, : BANTON, Vontor—Tow did you obtain additions to your con- tract? Bntiborn—Whon I got thio neccesnry information to cusble mo fo make a contract, I wont to him (Hout- woll), but his tind gono to Boston, I thon saw Michard. 6on, Who was Acling Bccrotary, and naked him f Lo had any objection tg making this srrangoment, or whethoe T shonld wait for Mr, Doutwell's roturn, Ho uatid thiil o wautd atgn it, Tostor—Did you hiavo s full conversation with Riche ardson about it7 Bunborn—Not particularly ; lio meomod to know about t, Ithoughtso, I did ot know howho know it I bad asid nothing Before to him about it, but o #eomed {o understand that I waq to hiave the contract, Foaler—And to undorstand the torma 2 Bunborn—Yes ; but thoy wero to bo tho samo as agrood Lo In the contracts with other poruons, Fonter—DId hie know, when ho was elgning the con~ tract, what hio wan sfgning 7 B‘anlmrn—l havono'donbt about it, ¥ostor—DId it not como to him asa mero ronting business, snd did ho not sign it without knowing it7 Sanborn—1 should eny mot; Ido mot kuow what they eall rontino business, “Fostor—You think o had full knowledgo of it, and know what lio wan aigniug ? ‘ Banborn—I havo no doubt about ik, RIOHARDAON, "Thio proprioty of making a cantract with him [San- boru] or whint that contract ought to be, or what ho rroposed to dounder it, wae nover s Bubject of conver- satlon botween us, BANDORN, Toster—Tho additions fo tho contract weremade aftor Boutwell wont out of ofiico ? i Banborn—Yes, Foator—Toll ws sbout them, What partioular knowledgo did Richardeon have of thom? Banborn—T should say that ho knew all about them ; 8 much'na I d5d, snd more, too, 1 d1d not protend to know nnything about it, but I went to Lim for fnfor- mation, e talked about it half-a-dozen times, more or Iess. Ho reforred mo to the Sollcitor, and the Bolfeitor referred mo to somobody elso, There were all sorts of Ted-tapo about it, A Fostor—So that tho additions to the contract wero mndo with the full knowledge of Richardson, aud he signed them knpwing what ho did sign? Banborn—@here cannot be any doubt sbout it, I nevor thought otherwise, y One of thedo two mon oither lled or forgot. Richardson throw all tho responsibility for the contracts on Solicitor. Banflold, So did Assist- ant-Secrotary Sawyer, whose ignoranco of the whole mattor was 8o sublimo that it took tho additional step and becamo ridiculous. Banflold was examined Wednosday, Ho tostified that the contract-gystem was docidod upon at a consulta- tion botweon Boutwoll, Richardson, and Limsolf ; that Sawyer, thon a Senator, was very activo in | getting a broad construction of tho law under which the contracts wore made, and that ho “had writton and signed no paper and done mo act connmected with the Banborn contract, from beginning to ond, excopt by tuo dircotionof thoBecrotary or Assistant Secrotary,” save when ho gave scerat-servico credentinls to Green and Prosbery, Sanborw’s agents. Horo, then, is anothor flat contradiction. Richardson and Banflold caunot both bo right., Sawyer and Danfield cannot both be right. One of each broco cithor lied or forgot. If we take tho charitable construction in every case and con- cludo that all tiieso persons are sufforing from sudden loss of momory, it is evident that it is highty desirablo to attach s professor of memo- rles to tho T'roasury Departmont. THE NOBLER BRUTE OF THE TWO. Plato’s dofivition that man is o two-logged animal without feathers, was a libel upon chick- ons, Thoe disgraceful events which took placo in Indinnn on Wednesday last afford ample proof that thoro is moro bravery in ponltry thoan in pugilists, and that any one of the chickens that fought in the Hobart tavern Lind nobler qualities thon cither or both the brutea who fought in the Liverpool woods, hard by the scono of the cock- ing-main. Theso two grest hulking brutos, for the paltry sum of $80, stood up and pounded each -othor for sevoral hours, egged of to their work by tho jeers and taunts of the crowd, and worked up to the requisite dogrea of courage by copious libations of whisky., Their fight wss conducted according to acode of rules which unfortunate- 1y rendered it imposeible that ecithor could be geriously injured, and which provided amplo opportunities to ocscapo Jpunishment whon it wad gotting too severe. No conditions of courage, manlinegs, or chivalry entered into the contest botwoen theso two brutes, It was gimply & question which of thom could endure hammering tho longoest for §80. Thoy wore, in fact, rathor eolicitous for cach othor's welfaro, for, if eithor of them should bappen to got por- manontly disn}»}ud. thoy might not have sn op- portunity to earn another €80, o thoy pound- ed oach other rather gontly, and, with tho oxcoption fthat thoy tried to gougo onch other's eyes out ouce,—permission for which singular exploit was not grantod by the referee,~they mnuled each other until one of them got tived. Gouging of eyes, strang- limg, blows with weapons, and other forms of davgerous violenco aro reserved for inoffensivo people who got in the way of these brulsers on the streots, or who moot them on a dark night and aro relioved of their money. Theso brutos, Lowever, are more tondor of ench other, and ‘maul each other for pay, according to a code of rules which provents any sorious injury to either. A fow hours after this disgusting exhibition, the chioken contests commenced in tho uppor room of tho Hobart tavern, and, in spite of tho cruolty of tho exhibition, it is Impossible not'to admiro the bravery and dotermination of those gallont birds, Tharo wero uo rules in this pit, no dodging blows, no failing down to avoid pun- ishmeut, They fouglt to kill onch othor. With broken legs and wings they strugglod to the death. Thero wero no cowards among them, Tho vanquished wero vanquished only when they wero dead, and, oven in dying, they epas- modieally strove to gaff the vietors. In evory cago it was o battlea? oulrance, andnot ono of the oightoen birds refused to fight so long a8 thore was broath in his body, In true cour- ago, chivalry, prido, will, nerve, and purpose, nuy one of theso roostors was worth a regiment of foathorless brutes liko those who foughta fow hours before them in the Livorpool woods, Thesa dend feathored heroes desorve handsomo oulogies for dyiug game,—a distinction whichtho buman brutes are in no danger of sccuring. Whon the code of tho prize-ring makes it impora~ tivo that those bruisers ehall continuoe fighting until one or the othor is doady thon, and not till then, will they be worthy to bo olassod with chiokens in brayery and dusorvo something handsome in tho way of sn obituary.
