Tho majority-report of the Porrer Com- mittee on the cipher dispatchos is a most romnrkable document.

It bears.the impress of studied nogleot, and all or miost of its outgivings nre of o striotly negative character. Benrcely 2 the faintest blush of tha bundreds of swoeal- aconted and highly-colored cryptograms is vigible in its countonance, and tho reading of this highly-consarvative Dumooratic doou- ment would almost lond to the bolief that Porren and his partisan friends had, rending tho cvidence, used some railroad tununel for n teloscope mnd had looked through tho wrong end, Yot oven this briefdocument must Linve ita noticeablo featuro, which will strike the roader ns the outgrowth of disappoint- ment and dismay at the rovelations resulting from those declphered messages.

WEDNESDAY, MARCH &, 1879, Demo-Confedorato party in tho two ITouses of Congress do not argue much for the pro- tection of tha penco nnd*harmony of tho country, or for the pruncrvnuox\ of oven the forms of constitutionnl government. The Demoeratio party has boen in o majority in the Lower TTouso of Cougress for four years past, nnd, using that majority in tho closing lours, they binve refused to mnke appropri. ations for the support of the army, nud for tho support of the Executiyp and Judicial Dopartnonts of the 'Govnmment, unless the other branch of Congress and the President cousented to repeal certain pro- visions of thosiatute law. Theso provisions wero: 1,-3c much of the law of Congross regulating the mauuer of holding olectious for Members of Congress as provided for tho nppointment of au equal nmuber of Su- pervisors from both pnrlies by the Courts to nttond ench poll and keep a rocord of the procecdings, wituess the connting of tho votes, and, in cado of fraud, violence, or ille- gality, to roport the same to tho United Saten Courts. Under this law {horo havo been several cases of indictmant and convic. tion for fingrant nots of dishonesty in Mary- 1and, Virginin, South Carolion, nud Lonisiana, and thero nre now*perhaps a hundred other eloction officors under indictment for frand and ballot-box stufling, Three persons ro- turned ng eleoted o tho next Congress have boen indicted, and there are four to six others whoso onses aro 80 rotton with frauds that indictmonts nud convictions are con- ceded as cortaintics, 2. Tho ropenl of so much of the law as permits any troops of tho Unitod Statesto bo stationed near any polls or voting place on election for President or,Congress, or be employed in prosorving tho pence nt any snch olection, Thore wore other points of disagreomont, but these two .included tho oxtremd domand which tho Dowo-Coufoderates declared must be satis. flod beforo the Appropriation bills could be possed. » It must bo romombered that thg laws which it was pfoposed to ropeal nro %encrnl Inws of tho United States..

The Ropublican Qonvention for tho nomi. nation of candjdates for oity officers is to be held next Tunesday, the 11th inst.,, and the Democratic Convention on the following Baturday, ' Tho Wisconsin Logislaturo has virtunlly finished its businoss, and will Lo ready to » disperso to.dny. On tho contrary, the Illi- nois Lagislature has not even mado a respect- able boginaing of ita business, aud at the prosent rate.of progress will not disperse be- fore the Fourth of July. Gen? Burrer was origlnally appointed as n Republican member of tho Porren Com- mittos, but forthwith transforred his alle- giance totho Democratic majority,and applied his not inconsiderable talents with great zeal and industry to tho task of imponching the titlo of President Hayes, 'Ho hns never for o moment acted with the Republican minority, and his roport is that of an inde- pondont, guerrilla sort of Democrat, who is willing to thirow a littlo molst dirt at his own crowd in order tho botter td boabla to lot fly hishard-baked bricks at the Ropublican Administratio An attempt was'mndo ot yesterdny's meot- iogof the Common Council to reconsider some of ita oxtravagant approprintions for vinduets, but it failed appavently beeaunso of the threat of an Aldevman to move to strike out tho appropriations for all the vinducts if his particnlar one should be intorfered with, 1t is for this very reason that "the motion to roconsidor oughtto havoprovailed, so that the takpayera might have the benefit of tho ro- sotion. Onco let the roconsideration get waoll started, and there would be some pros- pect thal jewlousy and retaliition wonld opefata effectively in the dircotion of ccon- omy. 4 A vory romarkable and exemplary award 1ias beon mndo to Dr. Cuanres W. HACKETT, a plointiff in the United Btatos Circult Court ot Boston. 1Ie entored a car of the Enstorn Tailrond Inat October, and was forced to stand, no soat being vacant in tho cars'to whichk ho could gain nccoss, aithough n locked oor entircly empty was attached to the eame traln, In rounding a sharp’curve ho was thrown against n stove, and recoived nervous injurios which pnralyzed the entire lower portion of his person. 'Thero is uo hope of his rotura to health, The jury has given him a verdiot decreeing that tho Enst- ern.Rallroad shall pay to him £89,500, an amount of damunges unproocedontod in tho an. nols of similar litigation, " nets providing for such ropeal’ DBiils to re- poal theso sections of thoTlection law should bo passed, asnll othor gonoral lnwa ave passed. upan their own merits, For one 1louse of Congress to rofuso to pass the necessary Approprintion bills is to attempt to coerco the other branclies of the Gavornment; it is as much au attempt to paralyze the Govern- ment as.wonld be au armed Interforonco of rovolutionists, robels, or Communista, Cougress has adjouruod without making auy appropriation, for tho army or for the support of the vivil dopnrtments of the Gov. orument, In thodebate on Mouday night Mr. Ganrienn called tho nttention of the Tlouse to tho semi-officlal notico given m the Demoeratio Washington organ, which read § “Wo are authorlzed Lo atato for tho beneit of Mavcuand Wis mlsersblo gang {meaning tho o publlcans), and for the informution of uny possible Democrat whe may hositate or feel weak in the kucex, that if the worat comesto the worst thure s anorganization in the lovwe embracing elghty- odd men, pludged In honor fo stand by SovTiany and dlibuster out tho rematuing hours of the sex. slon zuthor than lot the Logislative bill pnes with- out repealing the Eleetion taw.

It was proposod, by Mr, Fosten “in tho House and Mr. Wixnox in the Senate, that the rules bo suspended and a bill passed coutinuing for six months from July 1 tha present appropriations for thoso branches of thio Government not othorwise provided for, ‘Fo havo agroed to this roasonable proposition wonld have involved no surrender of prinei- ple on'the part of the Democrats ; they wonld have the powor to enforco their demands at the next session of Cougress, having in both Houses a full working majority, 'Iheir re- fusal to give the Government a life'for aven 50 short &'time 03 six montha wmade the oxtra session a necessity. ° ¢ cmms———— lawa! In tho Senate TrunMan laboriously defended tho revolutionary action of the Demoorats, and Brox declared the purposoof his sido to defeat tho Appropriation bills, It on oxtra seaslon was hold, they would renow the issue of no Appropriation bills without the repeal of tho Eleotion-Protective laws, 'Thoy wera bound to have freo ballot.box stuffing at all hazardy, . Here thero {s an open declarationof a revo- lutionary purpose; the avowal of a determi. nation to abolish the army agd close tho courts of the countyy ualess tho law for pro- teoting the integrity of Congressional clec- tions bo repealod. - It Is revolution, acoom- panfed by the provision for the disbandmont of tho army, Tho revolution, procodud by The news from France is not very enconr- sging for thestability of moderate Itopublic onism in that ‘countey, Tha. present con- fusion in the Government indicatos that it is 'arifting into the sama old channel that hay carried {t to ruin 6o many thues before,. Tho Republican party was originally mado up of Radicals and Comservatives, and bas nchipved n wonderful success, Monarchism was crushed down, and, under the lead of Gan. BETTA, tho Radicals wuccoeded in throwing MacMuon over and orgunizing a OCablinet tuat was largoly Moderato, The present ! juove grows out of tho sympathy of tho 4 tiounl mode of rapoaling laws is to do so by they contained the ropeal of the Elcction tha disbandmont of tho army, is n dircct delivery of the natton over to tho hands of tho Inwless,—n surrender of lnw, nithority, govornmont, ‘tho courts and police power, nnd the oroction of tha Mob ns the sole authority Ihmuglmul’ the land. - Indeed, Tirunyan and Iew; both declared that,e unless this law punishingfrauda and protect. ing the ballot-box was repenled, it was doubt- ftl whother thera woull over Lo nuother ofection of Presidont by tho people! More was an open thraat that, with tho abolition of tho army nnd the withholding of all ap- proprintions, the Government would of necossity fall boforo tha Mob, who would wsurp il authority and evontually inslall tho Democratio party in powor, or dissolve the Union. . Undor theso threats nud monnces, Con- . gress ndjotirned yestorday at noon, withont possing the nocessary sppropriations for the army or for tho legislative, executive, nud judicial oxpenscs of tho Government, thus Tonving the Government helpless withaut theso essential means of defense and proser- vation. The Presidont wilt coll an extra sos- slon of Congross to meot on the 18th of the present month. ‘The political situation will Lo changed in the new Congross. I'ho Son- ato, whicli has boen Ropublican, will then Lave n Domo-Confedernto majority of 10, whils tho late Iouso, which commenced with n Domocratic majority of 18 and incronsod it to 30 by ejecting Ropublicans from their sents to mnko room for defented doughfaces and Confoderates, yill bo replaced wikh a ouse containing §'lo 10 Demo-Confed. mn- Jority, unless recruited from the Greonbnok faction, ¢ When tho new Congress moats, the rovo- Intionary programme will be ronewed. Un- less there bo n popular protest against this violont asdnult upon the Constitution nnd the forms of Governmeht, the progoedings of the 1nst week will bo recommenced. The Presi- dont will, of course, voto any such revolu- tionary legislation, and then the Democratic Codfizross, refusiug the appropriations on any othor torms, will ndjourn, dofying the Gov- ornment to onforce the laws without an nrmy, and to onrry on the courts or tho func. tions of tho Government without money. A WARNING TO VIPERS AND COPPER- TLEADS, The dobate upon the .morits of Jerrzrson Davis' loyally, which was unwiltingly pre- cipitated upon the Senate by Gen. Smizrps’ amendment to pension all the Moxican vol- unteers during the rest of their lives, was only an incidental fenturo of the closing scones,—n sort of side-show to the principal performnnce,—but it none tho less sorves to exhibit how boldly and brazenly tho Conm- foderate Brigediers have come to the front, and with what malignant complaconcy thoy hurl their treasonnblo uttorances into the faco of the loyal North, If any Union man hnd predicted in 1865 that in 1870 an ex- Rebel would rise in the United States Senate, and not only eulogizo Jerrensoy Davis, compnro him with WasnimNaToN, pronounce . him a.patriot and Jover of his country, but deolaro that ho ocoupied tho same position with bim upon the rights of a Slato to secede, a8 did Mr. Lasan, and that n con. servative Domocrat would advocate placing him upon the roll of honor as a pensioner, ag did Mr. Tounraax, the prophet would have Leon laughed to scorn. But tho event hos happoned and tho disgracefnl spectacle has been witnessed. 5 Ono after another the Southern Brigadiers rose in their places, with the oncouragement of Northern doughfaces, biddors for the vote of tho * Solid South,” and poured out n flood of passionnta rhetorio in culogy of tho ‘¢ Lost Cause,” justified tho right 6f secos- sion, roaffirmed it with frosh inaliguity, cracked their whips at loyal mon as thgy did before the War, and, with brazon nus nclly, began the old work of atlempting to bully nnd browbeat the North. Thoir audncity, howevor, did not pnss without robuke, Ono old lion wns roused, nnd his savago reply’ dazod the Brigndiers, who, flushed with tho possession of placo and power, had ovidontly tnynlnd they could flaunt their {roason with . impunity, and that the old spirit of the North had cooled down fn the long yonrs that hnve followed tho closa of tho War, ‘Tho reply of old Zaci CmaxpLer to the bul- lying, rosring Robols aronnd him is one of thoso brief, vivid, terso, incisive utterances which ave only struck off at white-heat, and contain volumes’ in sentonces. It waslike tho sudden blast of a whirlwind or the crnsh of o thunderbolt, mid its effect was bost shown by tho failure of {he Tebels to roply toit. Asnspeech which ought to bo pre- served by every man in the North, wo ropro- duco it, Mr, CuaxpLER roso aud said : *' Mn, PrEsinzsT: Twonty years ago I, incom- pany with JEPeERsox Davis, stood up In this chumber and with M swore by Almigbty God that L wanld support the Constitutton of the United States. Mr. JipprnsoN Davis came direct from the Cabinet of FRaXRLIN Pixick into the Sonate of the United Statex nnd took the oath with me te bo fulthfal to this Government. During four years § wat fu thin body with JeprewsoN Davie, and:saw tho preparations golng on from day to day for the ovesthirow of this Government. With trvason In his hourt and perjury upon i llps he ok the cuth to suetaln the Government that ke meant to overthrow, Sir, there was method fu thin mudncas, e, Ineo-operation with other mon from his sec- tion, and in the Cabinet of Mr,. BUCHANAN, made carcful preparations for thu uvent that wos to follow. — Your fleeta wero scattersd wherever the winds blew and water waa foond o tloat them, whets Lhey could not be used to vut down a ree hollion.

I esw ihe widows and orphany mude by this war, and heard them wallsnd mourn over the doath of {Leir duarcst and best, Mr, Prosident, Illitle llml’gln at that time that [ should live to huarinthe Seuste of the United States eulogies upon Jervensox Davis, living, o living rebel, on the' floor of tne Sunate of tho Unfted Statos. Bir,'Ium amazed to biear it: and 1 can tell the gentlemon on the othor sido that they 1stlo kuow tho widrit of the Narth when they come hero at this day, with bravada on thelr tps, utter- ing eulogies upon him whom eovery man, woman, ‘| and cmild In ibu Norih belleves jo have boon a double-dyed traltor," In this, brief speech Mr, Cuaxprer has compressed, inaddition to his charncteriza. tion of Jervenson Divi, the history of the troason wlhich he championed ; the congpir. acy of the Iebols; their infamous plots ‘whils in tho Union and making protestations of loyalty ; the progrosa of the Robellion and “motion. its close; and le emphasizos it with no bluster, braggadocto, or !hronl. bLut with the shinple, tignifionnt warning that thoy do not kilow tho spirit of tho North whon thoy publicly bestow their onlogies upon nmau | whom - *' overy man, womap, snd cluld in tho North knows to havp been n doublo-dyed traitor.” The North is slow to ‘move, but whan it does nove the result ought to bo known to the South if thoy can lonrn nny- thing from bitter experionce. The North is auxious for ponco and a fraternal fecling Lo- twoen tho two sections, Knowing Its strongth, it s rondy to mako concbssidng, and it has nlgendy conceded more for the enke of ponco than }uw aver characterized any Powor viclorious over trenson, in the history of the world., After having pardoned the Raboly, after having restored the right of gelf-government to them, after having rend- mittad-them o offico nnd allowed thom to taka their old places where thoy plotted the overthrow of the Govermmont, after having withdrhwn ‘the army from their scotion upon their solemn pledges thnt nll clnsses of people ahould have thelr rights uuder the Inwa’of the States and the Constitution of the United Stntes, it hns soen them dolibor. ately violat thoso pledges fud disfranchise an entire race, and hos only protested. It has seen them persecute aud murder Repub- licany, and Laa only protested. It hos soen them desoorato the billot-box with open and unblushing frauds, nnd- coolly and compla. contly defy tho National Government to on- forco tho statutes ‘protecting the ojoc- tions, and it has ounly protested. It, has seen Domocratic Reprosontatives taking sents to which they woroe mover olooted, by virtue of n parlisan mnjority, aud it bas only protesfod. And now, in quick succession, the South has poured in its claims demending componsation for fts effort to destroy the Govermment; . has at- tacked the' arury with the intention of erip-' pling it, if it connot destroy it; has assailed tho fow romaining safeguards of the ballot ; has threatoned to stop thd' necessary sup- plies for running the Government; and finally bas tho effrontery to proclaim and reaflirh tho right of secession in Congres. sional debates, BDr, Ouéunmul'u warning is o timely one. It roprosents the sontiment of a majority of the Northern people,—not elone of Radionl Republicans, but of thou- sands of Liborals, many of whom hava voted with tho Domoorats for the sake of conoilia. fon and hayalovy. The Bouth is tronding} upen dangerous ground. It mistakes tho tomper of our people, It may raiso a atorm ‘hisown Court, it is certainly not n crime,” if it crowds too closely, THE BLODGETT REFPORT. Judgo Bropeerr's friends are much disap- pointed at tho report mado in his cuse, and are inclined to ohnrge tho Congressional Committea with unfairness, 'They contend that tho report ought to have convicted or acquitted Judge Bronuerr; in other words, that he should have been exonorated com- pletely, or prosented for immpenchment, that he might bave a proper opportunity to defond himself. It i nat unnatural that those who ars warmly attached to Judgo Bronoerr persousily, and who entertain thie fullest faith in bis intogrity (aud their num. UVer is lorgo), should lava expeoted a thor- ongh vindication, even to the oxtent of con- domning tho *thres young men” who potod as memorinlists. On the othor hand, those who rend Procron KxoTr's report carofully aud without projudica oithor way will' bo able to understand that, while tho cvidenco tuken was not ‘onough to warrant tho im- ponchmont of Judgo Bropakrr, it was not of n charncter to warrant n culogy of every nct in his judieial carcor or n robule of tho Inwyors who had sot tho investigation in Tho rolusal of tho Congressional Investigntion Committea to redommend Judgo Broporrr's impenchmont, eo long ns tho ovidemco before them did not connect him eriminalfy and corruptly with certain disroputable transnctions, must be approved in justico to Judge Bron. atTr aud the public interests, At tho samo time, the proof produced by the memorial- ists of swindles and nbuses by others in Judge Brovoerr's Court would seem to war- rong tho conolusion that the facts *fully justified this demand for an fuquiry into the official couduct of Judge Bruopaerr.” It was not neeessary, nor would it have been proper, fo condemn thé memorinlista asn menns to the vindieation of Judgo Bronarrt, and the friends and portieaus of tho latter oxuoted too much when they demnnded the orucifixion of tho * threo young men,” Tho Comynitteo’s roport soems fo bo o fair, in- tolligent, and impartial roview of tho testi- mony taken for the prosecution and for the dofonse, 'I'he basis of the chargo that there hind beon n dishonest couspiracy to defraud the creditors of tho Germanin Insurancoe Company was tho tfostimony of Axton C. IIesivg, The Committeo have accepted this tostimony ns true only in so far ag it was confirmed by other evidence, and rejooted it to‘the extont that it Incked confirmation. In viow of I{esixa's peculiar relations to Judge Brovaerr, who had sent him to joll fora long term for participation in whisky frauds on the Government, tho Committos could hinrdly hiave ndopted any other trentment of his tostimony; the roport leaves the infer- enco that, it Tzsrvo had been fully eredited, tha impeachniont of Judge Bronaerr would hnve beon recommended, and indeed the Committeo sny 8o outright. But, whilo the Committeo hpliove that thero.'wns **n cun. vingly-devised and arifully-exeented svhome to defraud the creditors of the Germauin In- sumnea Company,” beeauge ¢Hresiva's ovi- doneo as to such conspiracy was confirmod Dby other testimony and eircumstaucos which thoy recapitulate, still there wus a failure to connoot Judge Broborrr knowingly and eriminally with this scheing outside of Hes- 1Na’s own statement, and hence thoy dechine to recommend an fjinpenchmont on this chargo. Tho faols would provef the con. spiracy, but would not conncet Judge Bron. aeTT corruptly with it in such 1anner ns to warraut couviction on tho chargp of guilty connivanco at tho result which was actually.| brought about to sell the collaterals at asmall fractionsof tholr thon actual valuo, In regurd to tho Iibnanp indictment, the Congrexsfonn] Committoo express the opinion that it Is not strange tho Grund Jury appre. honded, from the way in which tho cose was presentod, that o Judge - Bronazrr was disposed to retard their inveetigations, and speak of the indignation felt by the Graud Jury at this impession os rather commendable thar repre. hausible.

R ————— Bome members of the Ohjo Houso of Repre- sentatives have undertaken to stop a number of small leakawes, hoping to wmake n saving of about 830,000 fu the agerczate. One of the sources of wasto was detected in the amount of reading-matter which certain officials had made the Stato pay for,—the 8ccretary of Stato spend- {ng $77.60 o yoar for newapapers for lls private use, while other offlcials wero ahout half as ex- travagant. The Auditor having charged $70.80 for fce for the past year, this {tem was looked into, and {t was found that the Auditor and his clerks were cither abnormally thirstv, or the chargo was what Mrs. BARDELL'S counsel would call a “cover for hidden.flre," as the sum of 804 was cnough to supply 178 leglslators and at- taches with feo during the eatire summer.

If Judge. Bropoerr and his friends are dissatisfled with this ver- dict of tho Investignting Committee, thoy must blame the surroundings of the Bank- ript Court, It is to the credit of Judge Brapaxtr that tho evidenoo before the Com- mittes did not connoct him with thess stfr- roundings in a corrupt or criminal way, but that fact would searcoly relieve him of all responsibillty for such surroundings, nor justify tho Committee in ignoring tho ropro- hensiblo transaotions of the Bankrupt Court. ¢ Tho Committee would scarcely have dis- charged their duty to Qongress and the peo- ple bnad thoy contented themsolves with éxoncrating Judge Brovarrr, and failed to draw any attontion to the abuses that had occurred in nud about his Court, as thoy wero exposed in the evidenco offered by the memorialists, —— The 8t.
