The patriotism of this gentlemnn with tho historical name is sublime ; and the liberality with which he offers to substituto the model of the defunct Confedaracy of Davis and Lzk for that of the National Union is a kinduess which the American people will appreciate, even if they concludo to celebrato the Centennial of Amer. ican froedom and of American nationality. BPECIAL LECISLATION IN CONGRESB, Thae constitutional amendment proposed by Mr. SeriNaeR has the recommendation ol producing 8 clear, direct, beneficial effect upon legislation. Ii prohibits apecial legis- lation Ly Congress, either in granting pon- sions, bonnties, land-claims, prize.money, or granting relief to any porson or corporation, or any other legislation of n personal or local character. This would require general laws, under which nll persons would faro alike, The extont of the special legislation of Con- gress is enormous. In the Inst Congress thore wera referred to one committeo of tho Houso 2,000 bills, asking pnyments of clnims aggrogating §27,000,000—nnd that was only oue class of claims—for losses during the Whar. In the present House there have beon 1,200 bills introduced, the most of them of o specinl charncter, 1t is this specidl legisla~ tion which supports the lobby, which lobby ordiparily enrns n3 much money ns does the Bar practicing before the Bupremo Court, It ig impossiblo for Congress to legislato intelli- gontly on these private claims. The elaims and appenls for-renowals and extonsions of patents, involving* immenso sums of monoy aud prolific in corruption, are of themselves of suflicient importanco to tako the whole time of Congress, A dishonest or corrnpt member of Congress can make enough money in five yonrs as a member of the Committee on Claims to enable him to rotire to privato lifo. Wq:.bnvo general laws granting pensions, granting potents, and authorizing the pay- ment of cloims, but theso lawa are wholly unsatisfactory to the men who have dishonest claims:. Their tribunn! is Congress, aud their Lope o special nct passed in the noise and confusion of a protractod, continuous session. The ndoption of tho Srmivoer amendment would purify Congressionnl legislation by ex. cluding therefrom the masa of business of a personnl and privato character. It would nocessitate a reorganization of the powers nnd functions of the Conrt of Claims, which wounld be n grent improvement. It would cs- tablish a tribuual whero tho Government and claimnants would mcot on an cquality, aud whero cvidonce could be taken and sifted, ond where frauds, perjury, and forgery in the prosecution of suits could be detected, ex- posed, and punishod, It would relievo Con. gress of a class of business wholly inappro- priate in a legislative Lody, and give to the two Houses timo in which to consider and mature the mensures of legitimato legisla. tion, Tho amendment, howerver, would bo more perfect if it required that no bill appropri- ating monoy should become n law save on tho recorded votes of a majority of each House. The Congress is considered to be a ropresentative body, and the people aro enti- tled to be represented. No law should bo enncted that cannot command the aflirmntive vota of a majority, and, if Represcntatives neglect their duty and are abuent, tho people hovo tho right to be protected from bad or corrupt legisiation by having tho votes of these nbscnlees countod in the negative. ‘Ihe country is entitled to be represented; it cnnnot justly be deprived of it by the falth- lessoess of 1ts Representatives, and therefora can justly demand that when o Representa- tive corruptly or otherwise nbsents himself Lis vote shall bo counted in tho negative. This is a largo subject, and Congress might cousiler and adopt this amendment with great profit. It is in tho line of wholesalo and radical reform, dictment of Mr. Wintmax McKer, senior proprictor of the St. Louls Globe-Demacrat, upon the charga of complicity in the Whisky- Ring frauds in that eity, there was manifest. ed by himself and friends an intense eagor. ness for a speedy trinl and the opportunity thereby to bo afforded for a complete vindica. tion, 1t was nntural, therefors, that some surprise should bo ocensioned by the policy adopted in conducting Mr. MoKee's de- fense,—that of entering a demurrer to the judictent on the ground of its in. suficiency. Instend of the snticipated roadiness to rush iuto court and interpose a complete refutation of the charges, it is found thint conscious rectitnde was not above taking shelter Lehind o flimsy technicality, such as the Court ruled to Lo the plea that the indictment was fatally defectivo becauso it alleged & conspiracy to defraud the Govern. ment out of o tax upon spirits not in exist. ence! The demurrer was promptly over- ruled by Judge Dirox, aud Mr. McKex's trial must proceed at once upon tho indictment as it standa. A bill was filed yesterday for injunction ngninst the collection of tho personal prop- erty tax, in which a new argument is made agalnst the legality of the assessmont. The finn who protest did not make any return, bLut trusted wmost unfortunately to the judg- ment of tho Assessor, They now allege that they hal no right to make any return, but that by the Constitution of the State nll val. uation for tnxes shall bo made by ofiicials ap-~ pointed for that purpose, aund that if they bad nade o schedulo 1t would havo only servod ns a guido for the Assessor in mnking his assessment. 'They further lay stress on the fact, as tho grouuds for the illegallity of the return, that the Assessor failed to uso judgment and discretion, and nlso failed to make an itomized schiedule, There aro thou. sands in the city probably who bnve failed in like mannor to wake & return, and who will look with intorest for tho decision on this new point, It is doubtful, however, if it con be sustained, as tho law imposes a duty on the property-owner, and ho caunot maintain a footing in a court of equity to nask relief when he khas failed in o legal duty himself, AMERICAN NATIORALITY, Tho Ilouse of Represeutatives has bLeen entortained by a speech from Mr, Jony Rax- porrnt Tvoken, of Virginin, whose elonuenco and lenrning were employed to prove thatthe United States oro not a nation, but a mere ngont, acting under written and limited pow- ers, of tho severnl sovercign States which have united for the purposea named in the Constitution, Ife denied that the peopla made the Constitution, and insisted that it was mado by tho “ States,” Of course this is nothing now. That doe- trina is old, aud was worn threadbare by the Virginia abstractionists bofore the present Mr. Toonen left school. It had been often discussad, in and ontof Congress ; and it was for four years discussed by armed forces, and was determined physically and theoretically by tho sword. If thero bo one thing mero cmphatically determined by the recent War thao apother, it was thot the United States aro a nation, clathed with all the ottributes of nationality, and nrmed with oll the powers ossentinl to preserve a national existenco; that the Ameriean peoplo are one people, having o national and not a locud political charactor, owing a national and not & meroly local al- legiauce ; that they hold their civil and polit- ical rights and cqualitics as citizens of the Ugited States, and not ns citizens of any par- ticular township, connty, or other geograph- ical or political subdivision of the United States. Mr. Tocszn seemed to think that there was nn jmmenso siguificance attached to the fact that the word * nation"” was not mentioned in the Conatitution, and, from the earuesiness with which he urged this, be evidontly thoughl it wos nows to his audience. The Constitution, in referring to forcign nations, uses tho term ** foreign States," whereby, wo suppose, sccording to Alr, Tuckes, the Coustitution designedly excluded tho idun that thero was such a thing ns o for- eigu ‘“ nation." Mr. Tuoker ovidontly camo to Washington loaded with this speech, the result of years of studied proparation. The fact that a Sepator from Connecticut had Lut rocently immortalized himself by an argument to prove that ho was primarily o citizon of the kovereign State of Counceticut, aud only incidoutally a citizen of tho United Statos, seems ta have boen avarlooked by tha descondant of the historieal abstractionista of Virginia. 3Mr, Tucken informed the House that he reprosented tho district where sloop the romnins of Gen. Lre, nnd it is to bo re- grettod that a gentloman of his ability and eloquenco did not remember that his theory of the nature of the Government of tho United States lies buried in the graves whero sleep tho remains of the soldions whose blood has sealed the nationulily of the American people. Tho dead, no naiter on which side they fell, wore tho ohildren of the nation; they sleop sido by side on hnndrods of ficlds, brethren of o common family, and the nation from its confines to its cantro will mourn for yeans the lous which the madness of men in- ficted upon the country and mankind. O¢ conrso Mr, Tucxen could not vote for the Centenninl approprintion, ‘Tho word centonnful does not oceur in the Constitu- tlon, nor is hero any montion of tho Fourth of July, Bunker Mill, or Chiengo or York- town, and ho gave notica that he would not vote money Lo celobrations at either of theso places, He avows that ho conies to Congross to do what he can to restore the broken and violated Constitution; that ho findsthoe Goy. ermnent carried ou as if the United Btatos wero one of the nations of the earth, instead of o nire partnership of indopendent sov. oreigntics, acting through an appointed agent ut Washington, 1le found this agent of the confederated sovereigus acting without ref. erence to ite priucipals, and oven sssuming to subordinate thoe vory sources whonce it derived its existeuce and powers, Hs found thut no citizen was secure in his lberty HOW THE CURDENCY WAS GONTRACTED. A fow singular persons met in Blooming- ton this week and resolved very modestly that they ropresentod the farmers of Illinols, "They next proceeded to instruet Congress in the mystery of currency, flnance, intorest, discounts, banking, bonds, taxes, and athor coguate subjects. A gentleman now residing in Virginia, formerly well known in this city and in Wisconsin, who happened to bo pres. ent, woa called on for a speech. Tha report s8ya in regard to his remarks: 3z, Danirin, of Virginia, addreaod tho Oonvention, #howing conclusively that tho business deprasion la tbe conatry cammenced withs the adoption of the sya- tom of contraction of tha currency of the country, ‘Tho spesker domandud thst if the Government loun money to banke upon the security of the 5-30 bonds, it whould meko louns to private citizons whensver they prescnt tle samo socurity at tho Notlonal Treas- ry, thus placiug all on wqual torma, Mr, Danizla b a convineing speaker, Whether theso remarks wero intended ns ironical or facetious is not clear. 'Thoy can hardly have boen offered seriously, Col. Davtezs knows very wall that when the financinl panio burst upon the country in tho nutumn of 1873, the currongy of the United States was infleted boyond precedent, We collate the following figuros from official sonrces, showing the amount of currency in circulation at threa periods, viz., six wontha after the collapso of the Itebellion, just beo. fore tho panic, and at tho close of 1875, viz, ; In October, 1863, alx months after tho close of the War, the paper circulation was ag fol. lowa: .

The summer aftor tho War euded the country wag flooded with currency which amounted in tho aggregate to a fraction over seven hundred millions, and gold renged be- 4ween 145 and 149 from. the time of the downfall of the Confederacy nntil the ond of that year, and its gold value or purchasing power was GG to G8 per cent of specio. In the summer boforo the panic the eur. rency had been inflated thirty-six inillions ovor the volume of 1865, and it was quoted nt 114 to 118, which gave it a purchnsing power of 85 to 88 cents in coin. It was thus doubly expanded—first, by 3,000,000 in quantity, and secoud, 20 cents in gold valuo of gvery dollar. After tho panio the Becretary of the Treas- ury, Ricuanbsox, issued §26,000,000 of the rotired greonbacks in the vain hope of restor- ing public confldence nnd arresting tho col- lapse. 1Intho fall of 1873, nnd throughout 1874, the currenoy stood at an averago of 766,000,000, and iis value nt B8 to 03 per cont, which ndded largely to its purchnsing power, A couplo of months sgo the cur- rency nmounted to nearly 770,000,000, and it value is now 83 to 89 per cent on the dollar. In view of these stubborn facts, what war- rant hod Col. Dastrss,of Virginis,for nsserting that *the business dopression of tho country commenced with the adoption of the system of contraction”? (Tho fact is, no system of contraction had been adopted ; but, on the contrary, the currency had been stendily in. flnted until the presure of gos blow the hend out of tho boiler, and inflated crodits, inflated prices, oud inflated speculation exploded to- gether in one tremondous crash, Col. Daviers ** demandod that if the Gov- ernment loan monoy to the banks upon the Beeurity of 5.20 bonds, it should mnke loans to private citizens whenever they presonted tho samoe security at tho National Treasury, thus placing all on equal terms.” The Colonel sppears to have overlooked tho fact that tho last Congress passed a Free- Banking nct, whereby all citizens may ob- tain notes on the security of bonds,~0 of notes for 100 of bonds, and by complying with some other provisions in rogard to re- demption, deposits, loaus, taxes, stamnps, and sworn returns of condition, Now, if Col. Daxters hos any friends who want the Government to * lend them notas,” herois n chanco, If any Grangers want {o inflalo the curronoy and pocket the supposed profit at the same time, the Trce-Banking Inw opens the way for themn to help banish contraction and make their everlasting for- tunes at the samo time, TWO CARPET-BAGGERS.

The cadetd now receive about §G00 per annam, eatimating ous zatlon o day 10 ba worth §100 ayear. The Appropriation Committes pro- poses a reduction of $100 per snnum, This would entail no rerious hardship upon any of the cadets, and it would offect a saving to tho Governmont, Most young mon out of West Point would ba satisfied with tho cloth- ing they could get for 100 per anuum, The soverest sulforing that any of the endets will havo to undergo will doubtless bo the smoking of a cheaper grade of cigars aud less display at daucing-parties in tho summer senson, Thers is nothing in the statemoent of the Professors that many poor boys aro driven away from the Academy beeausio they aro unablo to livo as well as the sons of rich men, Congross eanpot remedy incqunlities of fortune.

Reconciliation is an admirable thing, but when it comes to reconciling our necks to the pressure of Confedorste feet, we must boe cxcused. 'We are not aware that the ** South, " meaning thoe Confederates, is mngnanimons in being witling to be ** recon- ciled,"but Lorex-Robel peoplo evidently think 80, They are rendy to pardon us for our sinful refusal to permit tho dissolution of tho Union, and will oven deign to como back and bully us and rule us, as of yove, provided we bow humnbly down at their feot and kiss the hand that holds the rod. No, this sort of reconcilintion will not do. We belicve in emuesty, but let Messieurs the Southrons begin, In North Carolina thero is n man by the name of Horpey, who is not a earpot-bagger, who fought for the Confederacy during the ‘War, and had the senso to accopt the results of the War when it was over. When olected Governor of the State, he enforced the laws ngainst tho Ku-Klux and midnight murderers of Union men, Ho put down banditti. He wiped ont the Ku-Klux of North Carolina. Yor this, when they got control of tho Leg- islature, be was impeached by a Conlederate General Assembly, removed from tho Guber- nntorial office, snd placed under permanont political disabilities. ‘Theso men who aro howling over the sin of rofusing amnesty porsiatently keep Hownpex out in the cold, aud do sa for purely political ronsons. e has repeatedly applied to theso persecuting Con. federates for ammesty, and Las been ropent- edly and rudely refused,~nlwanys by a strict porty vote. Yot wo aro repronched becauso the butcher of Andersonville, who has nover asked for pardon, is not pardoned. Mississippi furnishes & somewhat similar cnse. Thore is little doubt that the Legis- latura which lhas just been electod thero by organized terrorinm and violence will show itself worthy of its origin by impeaching nnd removing from office Clov. Axes, who is the political ropresentative of two-thirds of the voters of the Btate, Southern mal- ico will then have two notable vietiws, and the men who bLeliove in amnesty ot Washington will bo publicly and practically denouncing it at Raleigh and Jockson. Let theso men practice what they prench, and let them hercaftor como to Washington with oth. er languago on their lips. Wa aro tired of their various paraphrases for the one under. lying thought: “D—n you; why don't you pay us the prico for which wo will kindly consent to bo reconciled, to forgive you for our being in the wrong?” 1t is now two months since DisrAzrr sur. prised tho Englirh people over their morning Z'imes ond coffen with the news of their pur- choss of the Buez Canal sharcs, Disnarrr's clique burst into a chorus of ndmiration. It was #o like Dizzy—so dramatio, And all the world ropeated that it was wondrously dra- matic and clover. Sober socond thought ap- pears to bo unablo to get at anything more satisfactory than this sensational eclement, and tho *“dramatic™ port of it Jooks like umateur theatricals, Sir Wroinas Han- counr, when, delivering an address the other day at Oxford Universily, confessed that the Suez Canal business was something about which no prudent politician would veutars to express an opinion. It is slowly dawning on the British publio that they paid $20,000,000 for n minority interest in tho cannl ; that thoy havo no voice in its man- ngemont ; that for ninoteen years they will derive no incomo whatoyer from their lnvest- mont ; that in brief they havo no rights ex. copt the right of boing outvoted. As a mate tor of money, the purchase looks ns dubious o4 the Honduran and Tarkish bonds about which tho British palilic feels 8o soro; o4 o mattar of diplomacy, if there wes to be 4 coup, it ought to have been for all or nono ; us 8 mattor of possiblo defenso in war, it amounty to nothing better than having sunk $20,000,000 that may be needod to replace the sunken, burned, and unsoaworthy vessols of the navy that, under tho old-fashioned Ad- mirals, would have taken the Suez Caual with- out saying so much as * by your leave” to anybody, Dizzy is dramatic, very ; but the expenditure of national revenue ond inter. ternational diplomacy are not best managed on the cheap surprises of tho **drama™ or the tawdry munificence of Lotiatn, One of the most important bills introduced fnto Congress this seaslon s that of the Ion, Geonar W, McCrauy, of Iowa, providing for the relief of tho United States Suprome Court. "The busiuess is now from threo to five years bohind, and steadily drifting far- ther and farther back, Practically it has be- coma n court of obstruction sud denial of justice, 1t i3, ns now constituted, utterly in. capable of hearing the cases which aver- whelm its docket.
