THURSDAY, MARCH 38, 1881. ‘Tie propositions of Democrats ln Congress to pay large sums of money to the families of dead Rebel Generals for “ Important private papers” js properly characterized by tho New York Tribune as a scheme for “indi rect ald to Rebels.’ There is no Rebel Gen- eral, ving or dead, whose “papers” aro worth $10,000 or 10,000 cents to the Govern ment. Those who were good Generals hat no tine to write papers, and thaso who were bad Generals had. nothing to write about. ‘Unter the Republican Congress which will soon come inte existences there will be no mere dead Nebel Generals In the Sundry Civil Appropriation bill. A sut-comtres of the Republican Na- tlonal Committee has received, and will sul- mit for consideration to the full body Satur- day, a number of plans for representation in the next Nutfonal Conventlon, Some provide for representation In proportion to the vote cast, others preseribe when ant how State Conventions still be enlled, and still ethers Inpose a varlety of foolish regulations on Republican voters In the several Stites, ‘The Conunittes will have discharged its whole duty when it stall have adopted the slmplest plan to enforce the instructions of the Na- Monal Convention, All that is needed Isa rule that the delegates-at-large shall be chosen by the State Conventions, and district dele: gates in such manier as the Republicans of each Stato may direct, provided that de! gates from each alstrict slinll be the choice of the Republicans of that district. ‘This ts substantially the first clause of William 1. Chandler's proposition, It 14 all that isessen- tial.

Ils frlends in Minnesota did not Join in tho antl-Grant crusade, and yet when the critlcal tho enme most of them were found voting for Gorfleld, But Sonator Windom has never made a special study of finanelal subjects, When the silver question was under discussion he professed Ignorance of{t not inidliference to it, Hebas usually been a member of tha <Appropriations Com- mittee, and hus been Interested in questions of domestic econumy and administration, whlle Senator Allison has beon for years a member of tho Finance Committee of tho Senate. Senator Windom would naturally go into the Cabinet ag Secretary of the In- terlor, whiie Senator ‘Allison, If chosen, would ay naturally tuko the Treasury, ‘hey are both able mon of very long experience In public affalrs, and efther or both would he of Rreat servico to the President in the Cabinet. — eee: Tue Invitation to Seeretary Schurz to 0 dinner In Boston fy9 complinent of which any man antght be proud, Among the 250 signers ure most of thosy who glye Boston a roputation for vulittcal Independence, Ul erary taste, and dominereial Integrity, ‘Lhe Uterary men are represented by Longlellow, Parkman, Holmes, Aldrich, Howells, Dana, Higglason, Lodge, Winsor, and Ellot; among the politicians are the three .damses, the Quineys, Crockers, Morses, Chandlers, Line colng, Sturgises, Samuel Howles, and BR. MM, Pulsifer; the pulplt, the bar, and the medical fraternity are represented by their best men, Indeed, 1t has been many years since Boston has rlsen In such a way to testify regard for any person. Sn the note of invitation these words occurs ‘That we may have the gratifention af express sur fa person our respect und regard for YOu ns a statesman and citizen, and of thinking you for tho crufnent willy, tho marked titellty, and the ppraved wu with whieh you hive per formed all your dutics ag secretary of tho n+ terlor, ‘This covers tho Ponca business, and isan open acknowledgment that Sr Sehurs has been deeply wronged bn that ‘affair.

Of theso the following ten States will have the samo number of Congressmen, whichever one of tho proposed bills be adopted: Arkansne, New Hampshire, Florida, North Carolina, Maine, ‘Tonnesseo, Minnesota, ‘Texns,, Nebraska, Weat Virginia, ‘Tho Logislatures of these States may pnss their Apportionment bills whenever they choose, with perfect confidence that thetr plans will not be disturbed by Congress. ‘he only States holding biennial sessions this winter that may havo to call "extra sessions fre: : Tlinots, Indiana, Mlesounn?

Fraud and irregutarity are now localized and milolinized. Ai they were sprend out over the whole coun- try It would be difMleutt elther to hold them Jn check or.to stamp thom out. PASSAGE OF THE REFUNDING BILL. The ehnnces all along have been agalnst the probability that tho Funding bil would become law, and yet all the obstaeies have been removed one by one except the posalble Intervention of an Excentive veto, and only one day remains in which that can be a mat- terof doubt. A superticlal view of tho case from this standpoint wonld tndicate that the Inck of the bul In overcoming all pre- ylous opposition will carry it through: the White House, as it las enr- ried it through all other stages of aitagonism, ‘The most — trustworthy advlees In Washington, however, indicated last nlglit thas a veto will be fortheaming, Of course, the Iysue ts doubtful until the President shalt oficlatly announce his deter- milnation, and ft is fortunate for the fnanclal interests of tho country that the speculators cannot gamble on st more than twenty-four hours at tho most, while {t 1s to bo hoped Ubat the President, who must now bo fully ine furmeil as to all the phases of the bill, will relleyo the uncertainty of the situation by oflelally signifying his intention this morn- What are known as fillbustering motions were hot undertaken yesterday, though the Democrats evidently ferred them, and gaarded ugalust tho necessity for an extra session by making way in the morning for the passage of the General Defleleney bitl, which was the Inst of the appropriution bills remaining to bo Introduced Into the House. ‘Tho new amendments which had been azrecd upon in tho Ways and Means Committes wera voted upon apparently In good faith, but It was the manifest purpose on the Dem- ocratlestie to reject them all, In order that tho Dl might not go buck to the Senate, where tt would risic final fall- ure. Nevertheless, tha Greenbackers and a sufficient amber of Republicans voted on all propositions to Insure a quorum, and aso result all the Republicans suon began to vote, The Republicans who persisted In voting from thp first were: Messrs. Anderson, Bel- ford, Baya, Browne, Cannon, Dunnetl, Davis (Cal), Haskell, Nawk, Hawley, Kelloy, Kile linger, Marsh, Neal, Orth, Page, Ryan (Kas), Robinson, and Washburn, ‘The reasons why these Republicans refusad tocountenancs filibustering may ve briefly summed up as follows; ‘They were not will- ing to obstruct the passage of wn ict the re- sponsibility tor which rested upon the Demo- eras. ‘They were actuated in part by adesire to gondomn the National banks whieh had Joined In the recent. contraction of the cur- rency, und some of them were Influenced by: the current rumors that the Pyesident would veto the Dill, ‘The motives of the Repubtie- ang who were really to ubstruct the passage of thu Dill to the last have already been suill- elently deseribed, ‘They would have pre- valled, too, had not the amendmentoft Mr, Conger, repealing Secs, 5,150 and 8160 of tho Revised Statutes, amt that of Mr, MeKIn- ley, enacting the provistons for volun tury retirement, been nduitted to on vote. Mr Springer, as usual, eame very near spoiling the Democratic broth by making o polut of order against the consid eration of thess two amendments, but the party leaders compelled hiw to withdraw his objection, Of course these proposed mmend> ments, ke others, wore voted down, but the consideration thereof prevented filbustering, in uceordance with the understanding, After the Funding bill nad been passed preelsely us {t had been recelyed from the ‘to ainent Senate, the Democratle managers confessed the hisineerlty of thelr refusal to amend it, and adinitted somy of itsdefects by proposing, through Mr. Curtisle, © supplementary but the one that had just been agreed upon. The strong point was made by Judge Lapham, of New York, against the consideration of this supptement- al measure, that It proposed to mmend a law which was not yet tn existence, and might never be; but tho Speaker admitted the new DU, and it was rushed through, ‘This sip mlemental bill contains three propositions: (1) Amodifiention of tho Kirkwood sectlon for popular subscription, providing that if, during the thirty days the loan shall be offered to tho pubdliv, more than the entire amount thereof shail be subscribed, then the award of the bonds shall be made tn the order of subselption, so. that first sub- seribers shall be entitled to thelr bonis, (2) A provision that the fourth acction of the orlzinal bill shall be amended so that tho Sceretary shall not be confined to tho use of the $50,000,000 In the pitrchase of 5 ant 0 per cents a single tue, but authorized to make such purchases from tne to tlie as the tnoney shall flow back Into the ‘Treasury through the sale of the new Sper cents, @) A provision that the fifth seetion of tho original net shall not repeal Sec. 5,220 ebacquttirof the Revised Statutes, whieh provide that a National bank may voluntarily wind up Its business, and this retire alt its circulating notes, ‘I'he Democrats voted ngainst all these propositions when they were proposed as amendments te the original bill, but voted for them all In the supplemental DIL, ‘This supplemental Di] was sent over to tho Senate tinmeiliately, bub ‘was lad over tl to-day by that body, ‘Tha Senute’s action thereon will probably be governed by the probability of Executive veto: or approval of the orlzinal bi ns nay appenr to-day, ‘There werestrong Indleations in Washing. ton Inte lust night that the President will veto the Funding bil Those who are near to him, and others who havetatked with bin, were confident In. predicting that he will re- turn the bill to the House without fils ap- provalas carly to-day ns he can commitntente with that body, Whatever the judgment of tho country may be upon this course,—ant it will bo serloualy dlyided,—the promptness of the decision will be commended, for the sub- ject has already agitated the public too long, ‘The President's alleged reasons for vetoing the bill fire the same as those which prompted most of the Republicans to such stubborn resistance to Its passnge in the House—viz.: beeause he belleves that tha principle of the billis wrong, and that tho effect of its becoming a law will be searcely short of disnster, It may he confidently stated that the veto of the mensure, if it come, will meet with the hearty’ approval of the incoming Adiministration, and that tho latter has had) considerable Influence in making a veto probable. ‘The failure of the DIU through a veto will not lead to an extra session this spring, though Congress may be eatled together next fall earlier Uhan the reg- ular session, Opinion in Washington up to t o’elock this morning has settled down to the follow- ing Cabinet: Blaine, State: Windom, ‘Treas- ury; Kirkwood, Jnterior; Lincoln, War; Morton, Navy; Ifunt, Postmaster-Gen- oral; MacVengh, Attornoy-General, ‘The only nome in this ist which Is not fainillar to tho goneral public is that of Judge William IL, Iunt, who ts now on the Beneh of the Court of Clnims, and is ered- Ited to Louisiana, Me Is of Northern birth, was recently appointed to his present post ton, and is sald to bea good Inwyer. Little more of him Is known, Atis needless to say that opinion In Wash- ington Is not inuch more trustworthy than oplnion In Chicago pending the sitence of Garfield and Bislne, and the only value which the above list lins is the uniformity with which it was agreed upon from various sourees, « i as u matter of faci tho only assiznments in the above siute whieh may be accepted with any degree of assurance are thosy of Blaine and Lincol There is not much danger of chan In the case of elthor of these gentlemen. A change In any of the othors may lead to a reviston of the lst. Tor Instance, the appointment of Allison to tho ‘Treasury Departinent, which Is still highly probable in spite of the auidnunes, would ellminate Kirkwood, and perhaps lead ton general recast. It Is also Jenown that Mr. Conkling [3 opposed to Mr, Morton’s accepting tho Navy eppolutment, aud assorted that the latter lus been Induced to deetine that appointment. ‘This would wiatko roour for James in tho Post-Oitlee De- partment. A stronger combination than 1s announced above, and one equally possible, Is. ns follows: Btaine, State; Alllgon, ‘Treasury; dames, Post-Oflleo; Linvoln, War; MacVengh, At- tornvy-General, ‘This arrangement would leave the Interlor and Navy Departinents to be supplied, It may be that to-night will de- velop something more definit.

Any offort on the partot the digniiied and prosy United States Sonate to ba sensational fs about as awkward ns an elephontattricks, Novertholess there were soveral Incidents of & quust-sensationat character In that body yesterday. ‘Tho Sundry Civil bill 18 alse about the last velilele anybody would think ofas a conveyance of sensationatism, aud yet Itled up ton couple of rather animated eon- troversies, ‘The proposition to minke Qu upproprintion for the purchase of the papers belonging to the Rebel Genorals Bragg and Polk was revived, and gave un opportunity fornsomewhatantiuated discussion for a short time, and thon falled, Anther proposition to‘uppropslate the small sunt of $3,000 to pay the expenses of the Mac- Vengh, Harlan, and Brown Conmiesion to Loulstana, nearly four years ayo, gave Mr. Conkling the oceaston for a parting thrust at tho ontgoing Administration, ‘Phis wus tho Contulsston that was sent by President Unyes lo bring about @ compromise in the ugly legislative situation in Loulslana, and played promitient part in the de- velopment of the Southern: polley which preciplinted the quarrel betweon Presi dent Hayes and the “Stalwarts."" Perhaps At was to have been expected that Mr. Conk- Mug would not forgive nor forget, but It was algnliicantly indicative of Southern Ingratl- tude that only one of the Senators from that section uf the country gaye expression to the consideration which the Southern people have received from the Republican Admints- tration of the past four years, and that all Jolned rather eagerly in the motion te lay the matter on the tale. > 1 The most startling event in. tho Senate, however, was tho nianifest action of a will Ingness to fillbuster In drder to avoud mn ex- veutive session, which the Democrats tried to foree In the absence of a Intgze number of Republlean Senators, dt really looked as though the Senate were getting Jealous of tho notoriety whlch the House has been earning for ityelf in this kind of work. ‘Tho resistances to the proposition. to go ine to executive sesslon was carried to the extent of a call of the Senate to compel absenteys to put in an appearance, but at this point the sleepy oll body looked ftrlghtencd ut its awn temerity, and aban- doned the contest by Democratlo agreement ‘toanadjournment, Itis possible also that tho reeollcetion of Representative Chitte den's reception ta Gen, Garfeld had some Mittuence In bringing about this deetslon, She viston of the President-elect, the eombl- nation of stewed terrapliy and champagne, and the sweet morsels of Cabluet gossip that were expeeted were temptations Loo serlous for tho Seuste to resist, The opposition to the executive session was probably based upon tho fear — that thos Juadlelary Committea intglt be inatricted to repogt on the Stanley Matthews @ise nnd the ‘Sew Mork appolutments, whitch are otherwise ttead beyond resuscitation, Mr. Matthews fs again In Washington, and ft was probably the lastdesperate effort on Its behalf, As it resulted In failure, whieh Tits Tunuxt predicted several weeks x0, ft may bo assumed’ that there will be no mora offices filed under the present Administration, Now that (ho Funding vill Is out of the way, so far as Congress !3 concerned, nnd all the appto- priation bills either passed or tn the way of ndjustinent, the only danger from the pri ent Congress Is that some objectlonable and expensive biNs imay be rushed through to- day and to-night LINCOLN AND GARFIELD.

"Pho case may be briefly stated: In Jan- vary, 1870 man named Kilbourn, living in Washington Clty, was called asa witness before a Committe of the House of Repre- aentatives and asked certain questions with tegard to 1 so-called “real-estate pool,” and refused to produce eertaln pape ete, Ie was reported to the House, and that body declared hin In contempt, and, upon a warrant by the Speaker, lio wns sent to the JaltIn Washington City, where he was im- prisoned forty-five days, when he was re- lensed on a linbens corpus, Te thereupon brought sult against the Speaker, the Ser- geantent-Arms, and the Committers for false imprisonment. ‘Lhe Court below ordered Judgment for the defendants, but upon np veal by the platntit this judgment is re- versed as to the Sor "ateArn ‘Tho Court reviews the wholy merits of the controversy, It finds no general power of {nflteting puntshment by the Congress of the United States In the Constitution, and tho provision therein that ‘no person shalt bo deprived of Ife, Nberty, or property without «tue process of law” is of the strongest Im- plileation against punistiment by order of 0 legislative body, ‘This yroviston, tt has been held, ments a trial in which the rights of n party shall be dectded by 9 trlpunal previ- ously established by Jaw. ‘Tho Court finds an entire want of expressed constitutional authority on the part of elther Ilouse of Con- gress to punish for contempt, and therefore examines the grounds of imptled authority. ‘These are (1) the exerelse of this powerby the Parliament of Englund, from which country, it ig satd, we derive our partinmontary ays- tem? and (2) tho necessity of such power to enable the two Houses to perform thelr du- ties and exercise powers conferred on them by the Constitution, ‘The Court potuts out that the two Houses of the British Parliament were orlginally Conrts with fudtetal powers, snd though thelr powers have in time been abridged, they yet retain so much of their original Judicial power ag enables them, like any other Court, to puntsh.for contempt of their privileges and authority. ‘The rengon the House of Commons had this power was not because {6 was 4 representative body with legistative funetions, but because It was a boy havink Judicial authority, “The subject of punish ment for contempt,” says tha Court, “rests on prinelples which have no application to other Jegislative bodies, and certainly can have none to the Honse of Representatives of the United States, 2 boty which ts In no sense a Court, which exercises no functions derlyed from Its once haying beon part of the highest Court of the realm, and whoso fune- tions, so far as they partake In any degree of that character, are United to punishing ita own members and determining thelr clcc- Non? ‘The Court admits that the power to punish contemptextends to the punishment of its own members, even by fimprisopment, In or- der to enforce attendance or orderly conduct; andthe opinion is expressed that a witness may be shnilarly puntshed by a body engaged in trying 9 ease of contested ctection or case of {mpenchment. ‘To this the Court adds: Whether tho powor of punisinnent In eithor House by tite or Imprisonment yova beyond this or not, we are sire no person enn bo pune Ished for contumnoy ns n witness before either Tlouge untess bia teathnony fs required Ina mate ter Into which tho House hus jurisdiction to in- quiro; and we fel equnily sure nelther of these bodies possesses the gencral power of inaking un inquiry into the private afalrs of the citizen, ‘The witness In thls ease, the Court declares, was required to testify In a matter over which the House of Representatives had no power to take any netion; it had no Judicial power In the case whatever, and its warrant for the arrest of the witness. was wholly be- yond its constitutional authority, This judgment, of the- Supreme Court thoroughly explodes ony of the most inde- fensible of all the forms In which legislative | ignorance, malignity, and despotism have been presented tothe public. It strikes down to the dust tho claln of privilee, whieh, as Is now shown, never liad any con- stltutional foundation. It strips legistative bodies, whether National or State, of one ofthe favorit forms In which members frequently seek to hide their own infquities and corruptions by summonmg witnesses whom they know will not testify, and behind tho punishment of this fidelity hide tholr own guilt, ‘This question of legislative power to punish witnesses for contempt las of Jato years been carried to great extent, and has: been grossly abused. It has in- eluded the claim thut a subpona from 9 legistative body can compel the custodian of telegraphic dispatches to produce all the private and public digpntches sent over that Mne within agiven term of months, and even years, Indecd, we believe this claim hus extended to the actual seizure of the contents of telegraph offices and thelr examination by committees, speelal and general, ‘The same claln of right has been: advaneed by Houses of State Leg- Istaturesand by Boards of County Super- yiyors, and even by Boards of Aldermen and Common Counells In eltiey, ‘There ts, noth- ing more attractive than "* privilege,” and to iho average Congressman or Alderman there is nothing more swect than to exerclso privilege unknown to and higher than tho law, and to use it to punish some person actually deprived of all means of defense. Insome Leglsiatures tho claim has been act up of the power to compel telegraphic agents: to surrender the orixinals of alt dispatobes in thelr hands, and the agent who refused this has, if we mistake not, been construct- ively under arrest for several montis, At Instance of this legislative assumption of power took place nt Springfleld two years ago, when one branch of that body im- prisoned reporter for this paper several weeks In jall for not answerlng questions which every one know he would not answer, and whieh had he answered would havo grievously aflicted those who had demanded hits Imprisonment. ‘Lhe Snpreme Court has entitled itself to Natlonal gratitude for its effectual destrace tlon of the long-cherlshed doctrine that legis- lntlye bodies, us such, have any powers to punish any ono Besides thelr own menibers for contempt, or that they have any pawer to compel witnesses to testify to any facts, or produce auy papors, unless the inquiry per- tain to a question over which the House has Judictat jurisdletion.
