ML UCTUIY, Suerutary, WEDNESDAY, DECEMBER &, 1880. Many Democratie orators are in the habit of clatining a duration for thelr party since the close of the War of Independence. : They contend with a grave face that it Ismore than elghty yenrs old, and that It wag founded by: Thonins Jefferson, when in polnt of fact itis only fifty-oue yonrs of age, and was started. by Gen, Jackson, himself a Federallst. ‘The orenization of the Democratic party was effected in 1820, when it elected Jackson President. ‘The chief pinuk'of its pintform was, and ever since has been, “to the victors belong the spoils,” and all of its pollticat eontests have been conducted with that prime object In view. It has other articles in its ereed, such us State-sovereignty, the right of seccsslon, and denial that the Union is n Natton, but its great underlying principle iy the cinoluments of ofiice and the plunder of the taxpayers for the support of its ma- chine. {ts age is fifty-one years and its au- thor, Gen, Jackson, was 4 Federallst, Ir ts understood that the Hon, Willinmn Me- Kinley was appointed to the Ways and Means Committee In place of Gen. Gariicht on the suggestion of tho utter. The henor. thus conferred upon Mr. McKinley is a very un- usual one to be attained by so young aman and so new fn Congressinan.

He was redlected foru third term Inst November by a largely-inereased mujority, the old dlstrlets having been restored. ‘The presumptlon Is that he will be continued in the Ways and Means Comittee of the next Congress. ‘Tho Cleveland Leader predicts that he will bo Chairman of It, and Gan, Gar field’s successor ns lender of the House, 1s public life thus far has been remarkable and brilliant, No other young, member seems to have such 4 future before hin —Lemenmamemecaneme Tue following exceedingly mild protest against tho brutal Irish land systent was offered In Congress Ju the House on the 18th Just, by Mr, Caltcius, of Judiana, and which ‘was unanimously adopted: Resoleed, That tho syuspathy of this Touso ia hereby extended te tho mubappy luborliay class of Irchund tn tts offurt to eftect reform In tho present oppressive tonunt aystemn prevalling ap that country, ‘This resolution attracted no attention on elther ade of the ocean, us it was regarded as harmless, thuld buncombe. Mr. King, of Loulstana, the other day offercd a stronger one In the House, which calls upon the Amerlean Governmont to use its good onl- ces with the Government of Great Britain in behalf of the oppressed people of Ireland in the present erlsis, ‘This resolution has brought somu of tho John Bull press to their feet, ‘The London Globe (‘Tory) snyss Such wa inuletment as that contalnod in tho resolution of the polley of England toward [ro- dund, if lufd bofore the Minlstry of the country Uy a forelyn Power, would be regarded ag un (nie tolerable uot af inlertorenee, and probably be resented as an fnault, ‘Yhe Globe calls up to Mr, Gladstone tho memory of his Jove for lecturing the ‘Lurks during the recent -ofllelal correspondence on the Dulelgno question, and says he hay now to tuke a doau of hisown medicine, and en- dury a pleco of high-handed advice upon the same subject of humanity and goverment, ‘The American peo plo are affected infinttly mora by — tho tched and poyerty-sticken condition of tho rish thin the English are by the ttle slx- by-ning “Dulelgno question,” or by the ‘Greck boundary. question, about whichtthe English Government has lectured the Porte su severely and threatened it sosianiivantly, brandlshing the fleet In its face, ‘Lhe starved and ‘pauper condition of the Irish population is an execedingly Important matter for the people of thls country, who are called upon to pay thelr exorbitant rents and to donate food to suve thelr Slyes, ‘The “judietment?? contained In Mr. King's resotution of the polley of England toward Ireland is an ex- evedingly mild one, and vory faintly states tho suitering of tho Irish from the meretless operation of the British fendal innit laws, which rob tha Irish farmers of ull thelr earnings nnd Jeave thom steeped in hopelers poverty and misery, leaving them no resource but in exile or death. ‘The con- selence of England will not regard. King's resolution as “an Intolerable act of luter- ferdnee,” and could nobif {t were far more expleit and sharpor, because the English know thoy are guilty of vastly worse that the resolution sets forth; and they also’ well know how greatly this country ts injured by the pauper condition in which tho Irish ara thrown upon its shores by the millton as the consequences of the rapacious rubbery of the Jand taws timposed on Ireland, A resolution setting forth: tho. netual frets, and protesting against a continuanes of tho causes that pro- duce such deplorable and injurious results, inight be the means of duing much tuwards tonoving them, ‘Tne ingratitude of the Southerners to President Hayes for the unremitting frtond- ness which he has shown to thom ever since ho came Into his office, and tho pen eral “cussediess” that prevails among this elass upon ‘all sectional matters, wero again illustrated yesterday in tho executive session af the Senate, ‘Tho Southarn Demo- erats nutayontzed the confirmation of Judgo Wools, of Georgin, to the place on the Sir preme Bench to which tho President hag nomlnated “him, aud for no better reason than that Judge Woods was not born south of Mason and Dixon’s Hne. Tho’ fact that Judge Woods now lives In tho South, has identifled - hiinself with that sec- tion in property Interests” and so- eflal relations, and apparently enjoys the respect of those among whom he now lives for his charaeter and ability are not suficient, it scoms, to retiava him from the stigma of being a “earpet-bagger.” According to all accounts, Judge Woods would have been con- firmed yesterday if these same gentlemen had not gone away and deprived the Senate of « quorum, ‘This elreumstatce indicates that his confirmation may be expected; but whethor that shall be the resuit or not, tho manifestation of sectional splritin thisimatter will be ample warrant for persistent refusal to appoint anybody who will satisfy the: in- tolerant and unreasonable demands of the ex-Confederates. ‘The Southern attitude In this matter is much more siguiticant than the honeyed words which the Senators from the South spoke during the consideratton of the Burnslto Editeational bith. > Apvicrs from Washington lead us to be- Neve that another yacaney in the Supreme Court of the United States ts adon to be erented by the voluntary retirement of iAssociate-Justtee Swayne, of Ohio, It is also wnderstuod that In tho appointaient of asuccessor to Justice Swayne the President will confine himself to the elrenit over whieh that Justice has been accustomed to preside, ‘This of course rules out any * fa- vorit son” df Itltnols, ‘Tho names said to de before the President are those of Judge Cooper of Tennessce, the Hon, Stantey Mut- thews of Oblv, and Judge Cooley of the Su- preme Court of Michigan, ‘Tan ‘Taimuxe has no hesitation in saying that it does not favor tho appolntmont of Stanley Mat- thaws, and that the appointment of Judge Cooley is one cminently fit to be made. No lawyer or jurist In the wholo country is more generally or more favorably known elther to Inwyers or statesmen than is Judge Cooley. Its great work on: Constitutional Limitations” {s oftener quoted in the bigher courts of the several States and In Congres- slonal discussions than any other ona book, and his other publications aro standard text- books. He is a hard and methodical worker, nenreful and conscientious author, a Judge without talnt, aud would add strength to tha Stprome Court. ‘Lhe President cau‘do hime elf credit and the country good service by commissioning Judge Cooley aa the succes- sorof Justica Swayne whenever tho Intter may choose to resign. The Chief Justice of the Court 1s an Ohioan, and It would hardly be fair to “Jump” the claiins of Michtzan in ordor to give Ohio two scats on the Su- preme Bou Ose of tho first results of the shonl of Communists now flocking to our shores from Europo ts the appearance of 9 Communist inagazine In Boston culled tho slnurchtat, edited by Dr. Nathan Ganz, a Hungarian, to which the radicals and revolutionists are contributing, ‘Pho lending fentury of Socinl- ism as deflned and advoented by this mugn- luo Is the abolition of the State and the sub- stitution of personal sovorelgnty. ‘The fol Jowlng extract from Its prospectus will show its spirits ‘This definition of anarchism naturally implica the nezution of all forms of authority, and puts tho real problem {ato that form whieh Proudkon found by cureful resoareh, and nftur solving the previous question, “Whut ta the ofigin of the conception of % power phiced abo: o ny, and what Ja thontin and meantny of the state’?

In such cuso an entire after noon would not have been wasted Inn partlgan_ quitrel between the Greenbackers and the Democrats, and In the absence of an nerlinontous political debate there would have been no personal altercation partaking of tho nature of n bar-room row. Itfs difleutt to say which was the more reprohenslble cle- ment of yesterdny’s session, —tho exchange of Jow epithets and show of fight, or the erim- fnal misuse of the public time whieh led up to the scandal. If the Houso of Represontatives was yes- terday very much like ‘a bear-garden, tho Democrats were the bears, and Gen, Weaver, tho Inte Greonback candidate for President, was engaged In stirring up the anlnals. Nominally tho Refunding - act was under dseussion in Committee of the Whole, but reuly there was scarcely w reference to that snbjuct after tho Greenbacker GIl- Jette had made a set speoch, tilled with the wildest vagaries, and Randall had followed with some remarks whieh were practical, If not always in tho right, ‘Then the fun began, It was tho first amusement that has varled' a dull monotony of con- strained sloth qnd stupidity that has extend- ed over the three weeks" session, ‘Lo this’ extent the merelless prodding of the Dem: geratic party which Weaver kopt up was entertaining. Ho certainly worried the Denoerats boyoud the point of self-control, Some of the more discrect of the Democratic lenders, Ike ~ Randall ‘and Wood, were wise cnough to .refraln frou replying, for thoy seemed to appreciate the weakness of thelr defense, and to fear the sharp, senthing criticism and ready repartee that Weaver «displayed, Tho Inttur’s recltal of the vaclllatiig, Inconsistent, and demagogieal course of the Democratic party on the tinanees, bogiuning with the chmpiign of 186, when tho Pendlotonian theory prevalled, and ending with the cam- | palgn of 1880, when the Detmocratsinusluceroly adopted the Republican priuetples, was certainly exasperating, because It was true to the letter aud becouso Weaver made his poluts in a telllng fashion, Ilo showed very clearly that tha Domocratic party has always beon ready to change its colors fn Sts desperato struggle for tho spoils, and, also? that It has always bean four years behind tha Republican party iu reach- Ing tho prineiples consistently advocated by tha Jattor, which Weaver antagonizes now, ashohas bean dolng for-some years past, ‘The leader of the Groonbackers undoubted- ly displayed great Information and ready. powers of debate, and held hisown, While the whola Domocratio side endenyored to crowd him to tho wall and usod unfalr means tu'shut him off, tho Republicans wero amused spectators, . . Reagun and Iiand were the main spokes- men for tho tormented Democrats, Rohgan endeavored to defend his party, gut Bland Dugan a personal attnek upon Weaver, ‘This was altogether unwarranted, because Weaver had contined his rentarks to tho Democratic purty aud did notindulgetn any personal re- marks of an offenslye character, Notwith> standing the gratuitous assaults made upon Weaver from the Deiecratic side, he Kept his temper up to tho very: latest provocation, and, hence, had by ‘far tho udvantage of the controversy, Sparks played the part of an intermeddter and busy- body all tho afternoon, and. consequently got himsolf Juto trouble, Me interjected an offensive ramark about Weaver white Bland was speaking, and used the word “false- hood,” which Weaver, when he came to re- ply, referred to lua jocose way, ax bls tone and manner indicated, by declaring st was fortunute that the gentleman gat vutslde the ‘Fonth, of hls arm, Sparks became very Wramatle at this, and indulged hhinself in the Ghdap luxury of “Hurtig back with seorn,” gte| Weaver wos still good-natured, aud sald iho had no doubt that all of them were right, “Hit othat his “ighting weight was 185 ‘Hounds. "This brofght down tha House, and Weaver joined in the. merriment it erepted. But the ridicule only served to ir- Ht Sar tho more, and ho replied that Weaver “was wanting in the quailtics of a avytleman, and hind shown at in the Jate elettion?? ‘Chis was more insulting than erummnaticnl, and Weaver got angry for the firgt Ume during the colloquy.

If he had dutio a0, Dlows' would netually have passed, But Sparks rathor draw back to the desk behind him, and before Weaver could reach him several gentlemen had seized the former, and, with great diticnity, dragged hitin away frbm Sparks! desk, Others tushed to Sparks, biitit really did not seem to be necessary, for Sparks had not oven steppe into thy alsle, though ho was next to It, and: ‘showed no eagurness for the fray: wntil Weaver was securely hetd, nor wht he (Sparks) had several gontle- men folding him, ‘hen Speaker Randall rushed to the eliatr, swuumoned the authori ty of tho United States In thg person of the Sorgennt-at-Arms and the mace benring tho counterfeit resemblaneg of the Armerienn engla. 1,Order was speedtly restored, the Comnnittee arose, aul the House adjourned, The scene was unqualitiedly disgraceful, but Sparks was the principal offender, It wis he who furnished thé provocation when he ‘declared that Weaver was no gentle *Weaver’s goatl-natured. taunts did not warrant a resort to Tow-llung lan- gitaya ftom Sparks .when the Int ter found himself, unable to copy with the former in sarcasm.

Weaver's only mistake during the day was in losing his temper at tho very Jast, and thus spolling the advantage whiel he had held during the entire debnte by ren- son of his coolness, wit, and hard frets, It ig likely that the unseemly extibition of Dinekguardisis yesterday will pass without any fitting reprool fram Congress, becnuse of the fiction that the House was sitting ns 0 Contulttes of the Whole. Mr. Covert, of New York, was Chairman of this tletitions Commit- tee, and when he made 8 formal report to tho House in this charneter he did not refer to the alterention that liad taken pinee, Con- sequently the Ilouse enannot tnke ofll- elat notice of the row unless it shall be brought up in some other shape. Tho only significant feature of tho disgracoful sceno is that It will effeetu- ally prevent any combination botween tho Democrats aud Qreendackers for the controt of the next House,even If the former had cherished se forlom nhope. Indeed, It was probably tho consciousness of tho utter im- practicabllity of stich an arrangoment that mado tho Dettocrals frat and fume so help- Jesty durlug Weaver's telling eriticiyms and taunts, tae THE REFUNDING BILL. Yestorday's session of Congress demon- strated that the promise made by the Demo- crats, enrly In the sesslon, that n refunding measitre should be passed in the Touse be- fore ‘the holiday recess, was without any good foundation, ‘The Coimmitteo of Ways And Means nygreed won thelr scheme prompt ly, and Iwas understood to be acceptable In the main te the Administration, but the House had consented to give portions gf only two days to the consideration of tho bill, and the thue during those two days wag inainly exhausted by rhliculous Green- buck speeches and partisan, controversy, Whon it became ovident that nobody was Propuved to speak to the bill, Mr. Woot, who Ins certainly been faithful to hts duty in this matter, urged the considerntlon of the Dill by sections In the Commltteo of tho Whole, ‘This was the proper mid tho busl- ness-like course to pursue, but a faction of tho Democrats, as well us the Greenbackers, reslsted the proposition, merely for the pur- pogu of delay. ‘Chey preferred tho disgrace- fui seono that was afterwards enacted to suy: Prospect for agreement upon tho most hn- portant measure before Congress, ‘Tho only sensible remarks made during the day were thuse of Mr, Dunnell, of Minne- sota, nnd Spoakor Randall, who had loft tho ehalr, Both of these gentlemen agreed fully with tho bill which tho Committee Irad re- ported, and both were anxious for prompt action. ‘This was true, also, of all tho Ne- publicans and a few of the Demourats. Sir, Randall was ovidently anxtous to reconcile what he denoted tho Eastern and Western views of tho’ subject, and to this ond ho was ready to agreo to the propusition that the amount of 3 per cont ‘Treusury notes running from two to ton — years should bo, Increased. to $00,000,000, and thus provide for the rapid extinguishment of the debt to that oxtont, ‘hore was ong Ine consistency about this part of Handull’s posl- ton. He contended that an humediate de- inand for $50,000,000 of the new loans should ego from tho banks, ‘but the banks woult not care to, take a loan that would be subject to enll nftirr two years, and stich call bonds would not be desirable as securities for thelr cireulatiup, Tr $500,000,000 of the notes were Issued, there would not be enough of the regulur 90-10 year bunds te supply the domand of the bunks. One point was well mate, in regard te the contingency which has bean suggested, that tho volume of bank-notes iuty be seduced because many banks may rather prefer to call ing part of their circu Jating notes than abldo:by the condition of taking # por cent bonds to deposit as security, ‘Choe polut wos that tho banks would gladly avail thomselves of the-premlum on tho + and 434° por cent bonis which they may now hit and invest in 3 per cents, because thoy will be able to buy tho 8 per cents at var, and thus will have, say,8 per cont lesy money Invested for the purpose of securing their clreuluting notes than they have now, This reduced inyestinont fur: securities wilt assure them more profiton thelr clreulating notes, because they can have a lurger volume of notes to loan out by fnyesting the same Amount of capital as fs represonted tn the bonds they have now on deposit, which ara worth a high. premium, = Mr, Randall's other objections to the Committeo’s scheme were'direeted against the nrovosed pay niept_of+ connissions for the negalia- tion of the bonds and against permitting tha syndicato to subscribe for larger blocks of the.bonds at par, with the privilege of paying for them at n lager period, and thus enjoy the bonellt ofany premlums or ine “creased yalue which fhelr popularity may glve thom. All this was to express an op. poyitlon to tho syndicate system, but no Otlwr ayateus of negdtlation was proposed. cout Mr. Randall also eriticized the payment of double Interest, and stated that, as nearly as he could figure it out, 314,000,000 of ad- dttional fiterest have (ius been nat during, tho = prucess of res funding Into tho 4 por eents, But Mr. Wood contended that a repetition of this experience ig averted by the section Alrecting the exehange of old nd now bonds, which proyldes that tho interost ponding the exchange shail bo ayornged between the two olnussns of accuritivs, Dut the practleal valtte of these and all othor suggestions was lost tn the turmofl that subsequently ensued, and what little dlseusslon there has been on the subject of refunding will count for nothing until Cone gross shall reconvene after the holidays, enemies SUPREACE COURT LABORS. 1880—TWELVE PAGHS.
