THE EVENING STAR. The Largest Cireaafion.in the District W: D. WALLACH, Editor and Propricter- WASHINGTON CITY: TUESDAY...........-. oseee JULY 24, 1966, S7 READING MATTER ON EVERY PAGE. SEE OUTSIDE FOR INTERESTING TRELB- GRAPHIC AND OTHER MATTER. S7 PERSONS LEAVING FOR THE COUNTRY, DURING THE SUMMER, CAN HAVE THE “STAR” MAILED TO THEM BY LEAVING THEIR ADDRESS AT THIS OFFICE. TERMS FIFTY CENTS PER MONTH. THE GALLED JADE WINCES. We clip the following from the Chronicle of to-day: «We cannot forbear a few words to the Ere- ming Star about ‘jobs’ and the ‘lobby’ in con- nection with the course of the Chron‘cle on District matters. The habit of the city officials and their hordes of defenders is to charge in- terested motives upon everybody who inter- feres with their plans. This habit was born of slavery, and bas not died with slavery. Our own best detence, if we needed any, would be im the fact that we bave always opposed the money-making jobbers and operators, and have always adyocated improvements for the bene- fit of the public, without having any more in- terest in them than any one of the thousands ‘who pray for their success. (1.) We have never spent a shilling in hospitalities, or shared im the festivities of others, to promote the pas- | sage of any of the numerous loan bills that we have favored. (2.) The case is very different with the Star and its municipal friends. The whole city government ef Washington is one great job, enjoyed by the few, to the injury of the many, and the most conspicuous ‘lobby agency’ during the session just closing have been the Mayor and his associates. (3.) We bave proved that the canal has been a pretext for expenditure, and hence for profit only to them, for many years. We have proved that almost millions of money have been collected and expended, and never accounted for by them. (4) Like Mr. Garret’s Baltimore and Obio railroad between here and the city of monuments, there are available franchises. and ‘woe to the wretch who attempts to reduce these inroads by comeeion. Hence the steady hos- | tility of Mayor Wallach to every northern man and measure, his hatred of emancipation, his horror of negro suffrage, his cold indifference during the war, and his steady opposition to the elevation and education of the colored peo- ple. (5.) The success of either of these would be the depreciation of the valuable job upon which he and his compatriots have revelled for so many years. It 1s all fair to raise the yell of selfish motives against others, but when the good public knows that all these elegant gentlemen bave a very valuable estate in this same city government, and that they are re- solved to fight hard before being driven away trom tbeir rich pastures, the cry of “jobs” and “lobby agents™ against the Chroni very much like the cry of «stop thie!.” (1.) Here is virtue for you in solid chunks! Disinterested D.C. F.! Who but the publisher | has “always opposed the | T™money-making jobbers and operators,” (oh!) | of the Chronicle and who but he advocates the corporate schemes solely for the benefit of the public,” (oh! ob ') without any interest im them what- ever (ob!oh!ob!)? So the eighty or ninety— more or less—schemes in which the name of the publisher of the Chronicle figures as a cor- porator, and in which most of the smart specu. | Jators of the country are concerned, were originated and lobbied for so zealously, solely | and purely for the public good! This beats Bannagher! We are afraid it will not be credited atthisend of the town. We doubt. even, if it will be believed by the proverbially credulous gentlemen who occupy the bar- racks at the otherend—the marines! Why, so well understood in this community 1s the “disinterested” nature of the Chromicle’s Con- gressional “jobs” that it is astreet joke as com- mon as goose-pasture, that the name of the Publisher of the Chronicle appears in every corporate scheme before Congress, with the ingle exception of the one incorporating the District Temperance Society ! Ltis not charged that the Chronicle men could not stand even total abstinence, if it was made werth their while, but a cold water job with no money in it isa touch above even their Roman virtue. ‘The amonnt of disinterested absorbedness in the public welfare they have at stake in the Canal and Sewerage Company Job is not readily computable. We venture to estimate it at about $125,000 to each corporator. (2) Nobody, we believe, has charged the Chronicle with spending the money; that was not their part of the programme, but somebody of their gang spent money, and a good deal of it. (.) The Chronicle shows stupidity as well as malignity in this silly charge of corruption against the municipal authorities. We may be pardoned for sayiag here,what the Chronicle at beart must know, that if eyer there was a mu. nicipal officer whose skirts were clear of such & charge it is the present incumbent of the Washington chair of Mayoralty. We doubt if there ever was a municipal officer who con- Gucted the affairs of his charge with more scrupulous, sensitive care to avoid even an opening for censure on this score. This tact is well known to everybody here, having the | shghtest knowledge regarding our city affairs. | As to the other members of the city Govern. | ment, the city Councils, &c., we apprehend | that they need defence quite as little as does the Mayor. We hav'nt seen any of them look- ing very much gorged by Corporation plunder. Tom Lloyd, Lije Edmonston, Jack Turton, Croz Noyes, McUathran, George Wright, Tal- Dot, Mead, and the rest of ‘em hav’nt par- cbared any palatial mansions or suburban vil- las ont of the spoils, so far as is known. See. ang them in their dingy quarters at the City Hall, arrayed in clean but cheap summer cos- tume, plying their ten cent palm-leaf fans, and tagging away at the rontine of city legislation, | at certainly never struck us that they were gaining mucb fat at the Corporation’s expense- Did anybody ever near of a Wasbington Coua- cman making @ten cent bit, even, by steal. | ings? We never did. Possibly the city treas- ury sufferea for those palm-leaf fans but that’ We'll bet a hat, is the extent of their plunder. (i.) Proved it, did you,—when and where! i W bat eball be thought of a Paper that delib- erately utters a falsehood so easily disproved. | There is not a cent of expenditure and receipt that dors not appear regularly in the statement ef the Receipts and Expenditures of the corpo- ration published annually, and which annual statement is within reach of every person in the city. These annual published statements for the years im which Mayor Wallach has been ip office show that instead of “ millions” of canal money having been collected and ex- pended, unaccounted for, that the poses“ from the canal during his term has ‘» something over tures sbout $16,000, — ant Roenpent if by the “millions” unaccounted fer—for the Chronicle is muddy as well as malignant—thar Peper means the general receiptsand expendi- tures, the allegation is equally false, for, as above stated, every item of receipt and expen- Giture appears in the annual statement. (5.) The Chronicle writer simply betrays his ignorance of the antecedents of Mayor Wal- jacb. “His hatred of emancipation,”—why- it is perfectly well known in this community to everybody but the Chronicle emancipation Hedgiicgs, just Hopped out from the Breckin- Tidge nest, that Mayor Wallach was an origi- pal emancipationist, advocating it years ago, Dot as # pegro-phobist, but from the belief that slavery was an incu upon the prosperity of the States where it existed. It is perfeetiy well known here that Mayor Wallach gave liberally—over liberally, we might say—to purchsse freedom for slaves torn from their fom ilig#, to “Ave them from the slave-pen and >t Georgia market. His philanthropic kine. ners of heart, at the expense of his own pocket, is roterions to every man, woman and child in shis District, and to none more than the cel- cred people bere. He opposed to the educa- ticn of the colored people! Why, he was the fr+t to recommend that money be devoted to negro education. But he ts nota negro-pho- bist: be does pot believe that more attention sbould be given to negro education than to white education. That's what's the mattert coldly indifferent daring the war! Who collected money for the soldiers but Mayor Woellach! Who went out upom our streets bat im Band to collect money ior the Paten;, Office Fair? Who got ap the great war meet. ings at the capitol se@-previded qtthem’? At whose solicitation was it that the patriotic Joba C. Rives and other citizens gave so nobly for the support of the families of our volan- teers? Who contribated mere ac. cording to bis means for the same pe object than Mayor Wallach? What did Mr, | Forney give or do in the same patriotic cAuse ? ‘We have been betrayed by our feeling of tne injustice of the Chronicle’s persistent slanders of Mayor Wallach to write at greater length, ang to say more in his behalf than he will per. haps approve, for he is as modest as he is kind- hearted, as his fellow-citizens among whom he bas spent his life know so well, but our indig- nant sense of that injustice would notallow us to say less.

Sherman asked if the commutation | fund was sufficient to pay all these claims. Mr. Johnson. Amply. Mr. Wilson thought that the whole amount Of claims would not exceed five or six millions.

H. inter, clerk to the Committee on Post Offices ana Post made a report with a resolution that the Sergeant- rected to turn over to the civil of the District of Columbia the person of Ben: Be and to prose- cute him in Criminal Court of the said Vistrict, for an assault on one ot the officers of this House. and that the evidence taken by the select committee be delivered to the United States District Attorney for the District of Columbia. Mr. Alley shid that he would not ask to have the testimony read, but he would say that it shows that Mr. Painter, while on the way to his committee room, in company with a friend, met this man Beveridge, who knocked him | down and kicked him in the bead and on the Jeg, and it was the opinion of the witnesses (hat Mr. Painter's life would haye’ been taken bad his assailant not been arrested. The asseult was mede without any provocation and should be severely punished. With re- gard to the power of the House to keep Bever- idge in custody, the precedents were numer- ous, but the committee were of opinion thatthe House bad not the power to continue the im- prisenment of this man beyond the present Mr. Farnsworth, of Ill, dissented from this view. He believed that the House had the power to retain him until the end of this Con- gress. Mr. Jobn L. Thomas, of Md.,a member of: the committee, said he did not concur in the conclusion of the majority, that the House had no power to keep this man in custody after the termination of the present session. He be- hheved the House couid keep him until the 4th of March next. Mr. Trimble, of Ky, approved of the resoln- | tom, but said he did not believe the power of the House to imprison this man extended be- | yond this session. He objected, however, to that portion of the resolution directing the Sergeant-at-Arms to prosecute this case asa = on the officials of the District of Co- am bia. Mr. Ross, of Ill., inquired how many papers the clerk to the Committee on Post Offices re- Ported for. The resolution was then adopted. on motion of evasion cen ae Onio, the louse proceeded to ness on Speaker's table, and concurred in the Senate ameudments to the following House bill : To inc the Soldiers and Satlors Union of the District of Columbia, and to iucoporate the Soldiers and Sailors’ Orphan Home; and | concurred in the Senate amendments to the House resolution relative to prisoners of war.

The following message was received by the Houpe this afternocn from the President: ment proposed by the Thirty-ninth Co: and has done other acts proc! ting wie 8" '. Resolved by the Senate and House of Representa- tives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the State of Tennessee is hereby restored to her former proper practical rela. tions to the Unien, and is again entitled to be Tepresented by Senators and Representatives in Congress. The preamble simply consists of statements, some of which are assumed, waile the resolu tion is merely a declaration of opinion. 1; comprises no legislation, nor does it confer any power which is binding upon the respective Houses, the Executive, or the States. It does not admit to their seats in Congress the Sena- tors and Representatives from the State of Ten- nessee; for, notwithstanding the pas-age of the resolution, each House, in the exercise of the constitutional mght to judge for itsef of the elections, returns and qualifications of its members, may, at its discretion, admit them, or continuefte exclude them Ifa joint resolu - tion of this character were necessary and bind- ing as a condition precedent to the admission of members of Congress, it would happen. the event of a veto by the Executive, that ators and Representatives could onl; be ad- mitted to the balls of legislation by a two- thirds vote of each of the two Houses Among other reasons recited in the preambie for the declarations contained in the resolution 48 the ratification, by the State government of Tennessee, of “the amendment to the Donsti- tution of the United States abolishing slavery, and also the amenument ra by the Thirty-ninth Congress.” If, as is also de- clared in the preambie, “said State govern- ment cam only be restored to its tormer politi- cal relations in the Union by the consent of the law-making power of the United States,”’ it would really seem to follow that the joint resolution which at this late day has received the sanction of Congress, should have been passed, approved, and placed on the statute ,books before apy amendment to the Constita- tion was submitted to the Legiviature of Ten- nessee for ratification. Otherwise, the infer- ence is plainly deducible that while, in the opinion of Congress, the people of a State may be too strongly disloyal to be entitled to re- Presentation, they may nevertheless, during the su lon of their «former proper prati- cal relations to the Tnion,” have an equally potent voice with other ard toys! States in Propositions toamend the Constitution, upon which so essentially depend the stability, prosperity, and very existence of the nation A brief reference to my annual measage of the 4th of December last will show the steps taken bythe Executive for the restoration to their Constitutional relations to the Union, of the States that bad been effected by the rebel- lion. Upon the cessation of actave hostilities Provis | Governors were appointea, Con. ventions called and Governors elected by th peopl Legisiatures assembled and Senators and Senators and Representatives chosen to the Congress of the United States. Atthe same time the Courts of the United States were re- opened. the blockade removed, the custom boures re-established and postal relations re- sumed. The amendment to the Constitution abolish - ing slavery forever within the limits of the country was also submitted to the States, and they were thus invited to, and did ic ‘n its ratification—thus exercising the hignest functions pertaining toa State. In addition, nearly all of these States, through their con- ventions and legisiatures, had adopted and ratified constitutions “of government, whereby slavery was abolished, and all ordinances and laws of secession and debts contracted under the same were declared void.” So far, then, the political existence of the States and their relations to the Federal Gov- ernment had been fa! and completely re- cognized and ackno’ by the Execative Department of the Government, and the com- pletion of the work of restoration, which had pre so favorably, was submitted to Congress, upon which devolved all questions pertaining to the admission to their seats of t = Representatives chosen from th States whose people had engaged in the re. bellion. All these steps had been taken, when, in the 4th day of December, 1865, the 39th Congress assembled. soy eight months have since that time; and no erp nw of restora- tion baying been proposed Congress for its measures institu’ by the Executive, it is Bow declared, in the joint resolution sub- mitted for my approval “that the State of Tennessee is hereby restored to her former proper practical relations to the Union, and is again entitled to be resented by Senators and ntatives in ” us, after the lapse of nearly eight months, Congress pro- Poses to pave the way to the admission and to Tepresentation of one of the eleven States vw people arrayed themselves in rebellion against the constituted authority of the Fede- ral einen Pea ot Earnestl: iring to remeve every cause further delay, whether real or imaginary, on the part of Congress, to the admission to seats of loyal Senators and Representatives from the State of Tennessee, 1 have, notwith- standing the anomalous character of the Proceedings, affixed my signature to the resolution.
