Opinions of Senators and Congressmen on the Letters of Acceptance. GOVERNOR TILDEN'S LETTER COMMENDED Significant Action of the Democratic Majority in the House. SUNSET COX WITH THE SOFT MONEY MEN A Majority Vote for the Repeal of the Resumption Clause. FROM OUR SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT. Wasuixeron, August 6, 1876. THE DEBATE IN THE HOUSE ON THE BEPEAL OF THE RESUMPTION CLAUSE—HOW THE SOFT MONEY DEMOCRATS CELEBRATED THE APPEAB- ANCE OF GOVERNOR TILDEN’S LETTER—ABAN- DONMENT OF THE HARD MONEY SIDE BY SUNSE? COX—INFLATION THE REAL DESIRE OF THE DEMOCRATIC MAJORITY. The soft money democrats celebrated the appear- ance of Mr. Tilden’s letter to-day, in tho House, by reporting and with determined effort forcing through repeal of the resumption clause. Mr. Cox, once hard money man, and so considered when Speaker Kerr made him Chairman of tbe Banking and Currency Committee, reported tne repealing bill, There was a lively debate upon it, in which Mr. Howitt took an early and determined part in opposition to the repeal; but the other opponents were republicans, led, and very ably led,‘by Mr. Kasson, who made a forcible speech, and was supported by Messrs. Halo, Burchard, Wilson of lowa, and others, Arguments, however, were of ot much avail, for the soft money men knew they ‘were strong enough to carry their measure; they con- Yented themselves with saying that their people wanted paper money; wero not anxious for resump- Hon, and thought this repealing bill too weak, rather than too strong. They appealed to Governor Tildon’s letter in justification of what they were doing, quoted Ws language and denounced the Resumption act as \mereasing the burdens of the debtor class and bonefi- éial only to capitalists. There was no pretence, even with Mr, Cox, that the repeal was asked as a measure looking to resumption; on the contrary, those who voted for repeal would evidently have voted tor a new inflation far more gladly. When Mr. Cox closed the debate and demanded the Previous question Mr. Howitt offered as a substitute for the repealing bill one creating a commission to sit during the recess to inquire into meusures needed for re- sumption, and to report by bill on the 15th of Decem- Der. At this sudden proposition there was un uproar in the Honse. The republicans vigorously demanded that Mr. Hewitt’s substitute should be considered, and before Messrs, Cox, Holman and Landers knew it they were taken off therr feet, They were extremely anx- lous to get their repeal through to-day, aud agreed to sonsider Hewitt’s substitute if the republi- cans would not filibuster; this was promptly promised, and thereupon Hewitt’s bill was read. It was 20 fair, honest and wise a proposition that it throw Messrs, Cox and Holman into a panic, lest it should be adopted. Holman demanded, ‘amid general Jaughter, that it should be treated, not as a substitute, ‘Dut as an additional section to Cox’s bill; but rhouts of “Regular order!” puthim down, ana, after some further attempts to evade a vote, the yeas aud nays were called. Of courso the Hewitt bill received the vote of all the bard money democrats, as well as of the repub- Jicans, and it came near passing, tho yeas being 92, nays 104. Several Western republicans voted with the soft money side; then the democrats, having thus put themselves on record againgt a commission of in- quiry, the vote came on Mr. Cox's ropeal bill, and Mr. Cannon, (rep) of IIL, who is a Yank soft money man, and had voted against Hewitt’s Dill, moved to tacken to the repeal Kelly’s Silver Dollar bill, but he was promptly silenced, and on the yeas and pays the resumption clause was repealed by 106 yeas to 86 nays. It repeals not only the date, but the whole authority to resume at any time. A number of democrats, amohg them Messrs. hewitt, Morrison, Eljab Ward, Smith Ely, Randal, Gibson, Levy, Lamar, Willis, Cutler, Hardenburgh, Scbleichor, Meade, and Thompson of Massachusetts, voted against the repeal and the same men supported Mr. Hewitt’s bill tora commission. It has not been a very good day for the democrats. Tho Communist wing of the party got the upper hand, und took the occasion to show bow unreasonable, ig- morant and intolerant it is; and they took care in all they did to declaro that they were following the message, as they called it, of Governor Tilden. Mr. Bland tareatens now to bring forward his Silver bill in every morving hour for the remainder of the session; and those democrats who, to-day, repealed the re- sumption clause hope yet to put themselves and their party on tho record in favor of this Silver inflation bill FROM OUR REGULAR CORRESPONDENT. Wasuinatox, August 5, 1876. YHE SENTIMENT OF PUBLIC MEN ON THE LET- TERS OF ACCEPTANCE-—-A GENERAL SATISFAC- TION AMONG THE SOUTHERN DEMOCRATIC MEMBERS—THE GREENBACK MEN ACCEPT THEM UNWILLINGLY-—THE REPUBLICANS LAUGH AT THE LENGTH AND PROLIXITY oF GOVERNOR TILDEN'S LETTER. The letters of acceptance made less of a sonsation here than might have been expected. In the first place that of Mr. Tilden’s was so long, and the average Con- gtessman is so late a riser, that it was not read by a large percentage of the mombers until this evening when they got home totheir rooms. Again, people here bave a way of waiting for the New York papers to read what they want to of the news, and as the House ‘was in (he very midst of the battle over the repeal of the resumption date when the papers got to the Cap- tel, the letters and everything else were in abey- ance till the pending subject of excitement was out of | hand. The republicans were disposed to poke fun at their opponents on account of the length and toue of the Tilden letter, which they said was written as if Mr, Tilden wore writing a message from the White House. The Hendricks letter was regarded as a good deal more to the point, aud more honest, than Mr, Tilden’s, which was regarded, so far as opinion about the two papers was developed, as prolix, and over wordy jor an acceptance of a political nomination; but all in all the demccrats took it as an able paper and the bard money men among them do not hesitate to say that they are fully satisfed with it, although it was thought that some of the softer sentences on the subject of resunp- tion might bave tempted their adverse criticism ; nor do they quarrel with what Mr. Hendricks says, It should be remembered that this is the tirst way the tiers strike them; perhaps they may sce blemishes when they bave more fully digested them. The volt money wing, with the exception of such out and out greenbackers u# Landers, of Indiana, and Cumpbell and Anderson, of Illinois, vied with the hard money mon praising the letter, General At- Kiva, of Tennessee, said that Tilden’s lever bad cleared away all the mists overhanging the financlal question, aud would reconcile both wings of the party. The soft money men, he asserted, were just as anxious as the hard money men to resume at the earhest date, but they believed, with Goveroor Tilden, that the timo of resumption Was a matter of administrative statesman- shim, Mo thought thas Governor Tilden bad shown NEW YORK HERALD, SUNDAY, AUGUST 6, 1876.—TRIPLE SHEET. himself to be s wonderful statesman by this letter, and ejaculated, ‘‘He was made for the occasion.” W. T. Caldwell, of Tennessee, said he had not read the letter, but bad conversed with many of his fellow soft men, who expressed but one opinion about the let- ter and that was highly favorable. A. B, Boone, of Kentucky, had never resd @ public document tm bis life which had pleased him as much as this letter. It precisely met theexpectation of the democracy of Kentucky. This letter furnished a plat- formon which both wings of the party could well unite, both desiring resumption and only differing as tothedate. Governor Tilden pointed out the trae way to resumption, which was by economy. Mr, Holman, of Indiana, said he was highly pleased with Governor Tilden’s letter. A. N, Scales, of North Carolia, thought that the letter will have a favorable effect upon the canvass. The true way to resume, sald he, 1s by stopping the plundering of tho Treasury and reviving industry and business prosperity. Mr. Springer, of Lilinots, thought the letter very able and that it will reconcile the party. Mr. Landers aud the few out and out greenbackers, were nosso much pleased. Mr. Lande id that Tilden expresses im his letter vi Opposed to those of nine-tenths of his party; however, he will vote for him as the whole republican party is old to the bond- holders, while only a part of the democratic party is sold to them. The people of the West will never con- sent to build up a money aristocracy by resumption. General Anderson, wf Illinois, 1s equally disgusted with the letter, and says all the greenbackors in Illi- nois will vote straight for Peter Cooper, Ex-Governor Walker, of Virginia, said he liked the letter first rate, Is was sdmirable and covered the whole ground; with it he would sweep his district from one end to the other in November next. On the Senate side the views were even less general and pronounced. It was expected by the democrats that the Miss:ssippi affair would be brought up in the debate through the presentation of the report by Sen- ator Boutwell, though there was evidently an intention to induce him, as chairman of tho Investigating Com- mittee, to bring it in. The effort failed, but Senator Morton, provoked at the opposition of Senator Thurman to his motion for tho printing of ad- ditional numbers of the President's message on the Hamburg massacre, openod a debate on the Southern question, In the course of his reply to Senator Mor- ton’s animated reference to the Hamburg massacre Senator Thurman led off with the first reterence to Governor Tilden’s letter, He quoted largely trom it, aud in approving terms, Senator Morton strongly emphasized a referenee to the fact, as stated in to-day’s Henatp editorial, that neither the letter of Governor Til- den nor Herdricks made any allusion to the Hamburg massacre, He was very much pleased with the view taken by the Heratp. Senator Morton turthor re- Peated the assertion that the democratic leaders did not dare to arraign the Hamburg rioters, because they were the kind of men whose votes they needed. He Says to-might:—- “IT repeated this two or three times because I wanted to drive that charge home to the democratic party. Speaking of Governor Tilden’s letter he remarked that it was a fraud trom beginning to end, and Gover- nor Tildon meant It to be go. + The opinions of the democratic Senators who have read the letter of Governor Tilden may be summed up as being all in favor of and pleased with it, They regard it as a very able and well conceived document, Among the republicans few had taken the time to read it, and those who had said with mach amasement that it was tov long and would not be understood by the people; it cvidenced astuteness and ability, but would not catch any votes. It is, on the whole, re- garded as adroitly and very plausibly written, GENERAL WASHINGTON DESPATCHES. Wasaixcton, August 5, 1876, REPORT OF THE COMMITTEE ON THR DEPAET- MENT OF JUSTICE—Mi. = DAVENPOR?'S THIRTY-FOUR THOUSAND DOLLARS’ APPRO- PRIATION ¥OR ELECTION PURPOSES COM- MENTED UPON—AN IMPROPER USE OF THE SECRET SERVICE FUND—THE MINORITY RE- PORT. . The Committee on Expenditures in the Department of Justice say in then report mude to-day :—“Tho con- tingent expenses in this department were last year re- duced to $15,541,”’ and they recommend that they be redueed to about $10,002. They also reported to the Committee on Appropriations a recommendation cat- ting off all carriages and vehicles attached to the At- torney General's Departme:t, which was done, with the exeeption of one wagon, which was leit for tho purpose of conveying books and material to and from different departments, They also recommended a re- duction of the Judiciary Fund to the amount of $500,000, believing an appropriation of $2,500,000 1s amply sufficicnt, instead of $3,000,000 as neretoiore ap- propriated, making # total deduction in the Department of Justice of $526,000, The committee say that charges were mado against certain marshals, on account of their having failea to settle their accounts as required by law; they recom- mended the institution of suits against them by the Attorney General, Certain other marshals were dis- missed after the committce commenced the investiga- tion of their conduct, They bave taken considerable evidence as toa too common custom of marshals in taking blank receipts from their deputies. In many instances they take receipts trom their deputies tor three-quarters of the amount o! their gross earnings, but do not pay them one-baif of the amount stated in the receipt The committee examined at great length the amounts of money paid to John 1. Davenport for registration, and say that 18 is diificult to perceive how the govorn- ment got the benefit of the money given to Davenport to aid him in preparing these books, when the govern- ment 1s afterward charged, im Davenport's acteunts Chief Supervisor of Elections, tor the very work which Davenport's employés did upon these books. Daven- port attempts to account for the expenditure of the $34,000 by putting ‘n recoipts trom his workmen for their daily labor upon these books, when his account in the Treasury Department as Chief Supervisor shows that he charged the government lor every particle of work done by those very employés, Davenport fil in his testimony a large number ot receipts, mostly of employés 4s vouchers for the expenditure of that sum, the first series bearing date of May, 1871, several months before he received any of the $34,000, and the most of them two years after he received the last instalment of $3,000 in November, 1873. many of these receipts were obtained by and furnishod to Davenport after the investigation began and during the period in which Davenport's testimony was taken, It was also 1a evidence that many of the receipts fur- nished to the committee as vouchers for the expendi ture of this fund were given for money patd for work done for the Committee of Seventy, » purely election committee, at Nous, 32 and 52 Union square, New York. The committee theretore report that said $34,000 is not occaunted for by Davenport. The committee lurther report that they found other evideaces of improper use of the Secret Service fund of the government for political, social and other pur poses, It was evident from the testimony of Whiley, the former chief, and Canz, the former Secretary of the Secret Service Division in New York, as well trom what they tell as from what they evade, that that fund was used to influence elections in New York city, The comumittee have felt reiuctant to report that they fiud on the part of apy officers of the government a misap- Propriation of money to uses not contemplated by law, but, after @ full and careful consideration of the facts developed by the testimony and of the laws uoder which appropriated, aud the Jaw appropriating the “Ku Klux Fund,” from which Davenport got his money, they feel compelled to report that the President and the Attorney Gonerals—Messrs, Akerman and Will- jams—who supplied Davenport with the $34,000 from the latter fund, diverted it trom iis proper purpose to one entirely foreign to the objects of the Jaw. The committee make the following recommendations:— First—In view of tho many extraordivary abuses to which the election laws of Congress ure prostituted, und the opportunities for corruption and oppression which the. alford in the mauagoment uf bad men, and of thoir doubtiul constitutionality, your coumitiee recommend the abolition of supervisors of election, and the entire repeal of said laws, Second —Your committee recommends, be not repesied, that either the $50,000 to the Department of Justice as the “Ku Klux Fund” shall uo longer be made, or, it made, that it shall bé specifically provided that vo por- tion of said fund shall be used directly or indirectly in oF about the machivery of the elections, and that its disbursement shall be rigidly accounted for, Your committees recommend that no faad of At was in evidence that | the judiciary iund is | | bench was w republican, and ho the government shall ever be so expended or disbursed ‘that no account of it shail be kept so that it may be ac- counted for im detail when so required. Fourth—Your commitive recommend that the At- torney General be requested to take such steps as he may deem necessary to recover and return to the treas- ury the aforesaid $34,000. Fifth Your commitiee recommend the passage of a law preventing an: holding more than one o under the Ua! Ned ‘States government at the same me. Sizth—Your committee recommend the passage of the laws heretolore referred to in this report, which have been prepared and introduced into the House of Representatives, All of which is respectiully reported. G. CAULFIELD, ALEXANDER J. COCHRANE, JOSEPH F, HOUSE, M. J. DUNHAM, M. A. CANDLER, E. R. MEADE, ‘THe MINORITY REPORT. ‘The minority present their views as follows:— The subject which occupied the attention of the committee wag the disbursement of $34,00u by the Attorney Generals, Akerman and Williams, at the request of the President during the years 1871, 1872 and 1873, to detect aid punish democratic frauds in New York city elections. This was the only matter which could be tortured into any politic: and the majority seized upon this as soo! with an appetite sharpened by a lon, pe: tedious investigation, which, up to this time, has been entirely barren of results. The minority further say ‘that it will pot be denied by any candid man that what- ever may have been original object and purpose of ali of these numerous investigations the: re long ago been perverted from their true mission and be- come schools of scandal, conduits te convey to the public ear all the hate ana disappointment, the malice, the anger, the mortification, the jealousy, the despera- Monand malignity of tho democratic heart which bas been accumulatizg for Sfteen years against men who eleven years ago broke the power of the rebellion and rescued the Republic from the very jaws of destruc- tion. They speak of the malicious and unfair spirit io which the investigation was conducted, and say the majority report was written with the same spirit of uniairness. They give a detailed history of the neces- for and expenditure of the $34,000, and Jobn I. Davenport's connection with it, and say that the ma- jority of the committee, after all their long investiga- on, are not able to find that Davenport evor converted a single doliar to bis own use of tao funds placed in his hands, or that he over diverted a penny of it {rom its legitimate purpose. They allude to the remark of the majority tbat they regretted that they were compelled to find that any public official nad been misappropriating public money, and gay that such language sounds strange coming ‘trom men who ought tohave known when they yero appointed upon the committee that they were expected by the leaders of the democratic party in tbe House to ransack the House, trom centre to circumference, in orderto find something which might be tortured into « shadow of a stain upon President Gravt and the members of his Cabinet. ‘The conclusion to. which minority come is that the $34,000 paid to Davenport was legally and "properly appropriated; that it was exponded by Davonport for purposes coming fairly within the law; and that instead of censure, the President, Attorncys Genoral Aker- man and Willams aod Davenport are entitled to com- mendation fur the prompt, {althtul and energetic man- ner in which thoy aided in suppressing in a great degre the gigantic election frauds in the city of New York in 1872, and in restoring to the people ot that great mo- tropol's the freedom of elections and tho purity of the ballot box. Tho ininority protest against the repeal of the regis- tration laws as recommended by the majority. CHARLES H. JOYCE. 0, D. CONGE! JOHN T. WAIT. BLUFORD WILSON. Bluford Wilson’s cross-cxamination was to havo been continued to-day, but in consoquence of the sickness of Representative Plaisted, of tho committee, it was postponed till Monday. PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS, SENATE. Wasuixarom, August 5, 1876. Mr. Morton, (rep.) of Ind, moved to take up the resolution to print 10,000 extra copies of tho Prewi- dent’s Message and accompanying documents in ref- erence to the recent trouble at Hamburg, 8. C.. Mr. Taveuax, (dem.) of Obio, hoped it would not be taken up, because it would give rise to a vory serious debate. There was more important business before the Senate than printing papers as mere electioneering documents, The usual number of copies of this mes- sage bad already been printed for the use of the Sen- ate, and, so far as the information was needed for the purposes of legislation, a sufficient number of copies were before the body. The only object in printing these 10,000 copies was to circalato them as election- eoring docaments. ‘The motion to take up the resolution was agreed to. Yoas, 30; nays, 15—a strict party vote. Mr. TuuRMAN moved to postpone the resolution and take up tho Dill lately reporied from the Judiciary Committee to provide for the creation of a sinking fand to settle the inuebtedness duo from Pacific rail- roads, Mr. Morton said he agreed with his friend from Ohio thas there was but one object in baving these docu- ments printed, and that was tocirculate them among the people and convey to them information on this subject, He regretted to observe in reading the letters of Mr. Tilden and Mr, Hendricks, published this morn- tng, that they did not soe fit to take notice of this transaction at Hamburg and transactions of a kindred character throughout the South. They had much to say about finances, ecouomy and reform, but nothing about these murders, This message and the accom- panying documents should be printed and put before the people. 1t was quite as important to attend to Unis matter now as apy other business before tho Senate. Mr. TucrMaN said the purpose of this resolution was admitted. 1t was mereiy to print atthe public expense an account of « deplorable event which ro- ceutly took piace in Soath Carolina, Every good man deplored that transaction. Whenever violence took place in one section of this country there were Sena- tors on this floor ready to print the account thereof at the public expense just betore an election, while in other sections of the ‘country murders went on and no notice was taken of them. There were murders and violence 1m Penn: ia, Indiana and Obio, but they excited no indignation in the breast of the Senator from Indiana, WHAT PEXNSYLVANIA DOKS. Mr. Camernow, (rep.) of Pa., said there had been mur- ders in Pennsylvania, but the State authority had ar- rested the murderers, and six of them were now sen- tenced to be hanged. | He bad no doubt thirty would be banged betore the authorities got through. Whenever the people of the South wbould take steps to have speedy justice dealt outto murderers, he would say they had done In the State of Pennsylvania ery tan, ho matter what bis politics were, favored the punishment of criminals in that State, Mr. Patrersow, (rep.) of 3. inquired if the mur. jaguires in Pennsylvania were politi- Mr, Camgrox—No, but tl democrats. (Laughter on the chamber). Mr, Tucrmaw asked, if murderers were not punished im South Carolina, whose’ fault was it’ The Governor of the State was a republican; every judge on the had been told every Commonwealth attorney in the State was a repablicas. [1 the laws were not enforced whose fault was it? Mr. Goxpon, ) of Ga, said every militia com- pany in the State was composod of black men and armed at tho govornme: ‘pense. Mr, McMittax, (rep.) of Minn., asked if white men in South Curviina could not form militia compantes also under the laws of the State, Mr, Gorvox roplied they could, but they were not allowed arms. Mr. Patreason sald they organized themselves into companies and armed themsolves, They organized under the general incorporation laws of the State and called their captain “president.” Mr, TmvRwax asked why the Legislature did not r peal the la prevent them trom xo organizing? Mr. Patrxxsow replied that it could not ve done without repealing all the incorporation laws of te Bate. ¥ Mr. Twurman sald that was about the calibre of the South Caroliva Legislature. It could not prohipit an illegal organization without repealing the incorpora- tion laws of the State, Whe was authorized to say that (he authori of South Carolioa would not punish murderers?

MURDERS IN THX SOUTH. Mr. Mowton said be did mot think he would be drawn bate on the conference report; but bis reso- i been switched of so handsomely that hi felt called upon to say something in reply to the Se: tor trom Obio (Mr. Thurman). if was true there wero murders in the Northern States—sometimes for gain, sometimes for passion, sometunes on account of hate— but there were no murders committed to control the politics of the States, The murders in the South, he Suid, were committed under the direction of meu who wrote for newspapers and cailed themselves gentlemen, He desired to call the attention of the Senate to the fuct that the letters of acceptance of mn and Hendricks, which tl talkod about everything else, made no mention of the massacre ut Hamburg. He would make the statement, delibe , Mhat Mr, Tilden and mitted the murders at Hamburg, Coushatta, Colfax and elsewhere, because their prospects of carrying four of five republican States depeuded upon the inilu- @neo and support of the class of men who committed these murders, Mr. Morton then sent to the Clerk’s desk aud had road the letter of Governor Chamberlain, of South Carolina, and the report of Atiorney General Stone, of that State, in regard to the Hamburg ith. culty, and suid these vapors showed the importance Of spreading those matters belore the American people. A terrorism now existed in South Caroliua und nearly every other Southern State whieh preveuted the pun- ishment for killiug u nogro. He challenged Senat on the other side to uame a single instance where a white man had by panisbed for killing wero. Mr. Meruimoy, (dem.) of N, C.—It 18 done repeatedly in mny Stato, Mr. Wirsurts, (dem.) of Va. —So it is in mine. Mr. MonTON said it Was possibie that if a white re- Publican or a negro got imto a fight the white republi- can would be punished, (Cries of ‘Ob! ob!’ on tho democratic side.) Continuing bis remarks, he said:— With ail that Governor Cuamberlain could do, tbe prosecution of these foul murders Would come to noth- ing. If such men as Tilden and Heaaricka and tho leaders of the democratic party wore to come out and denounce t) hings, and demand that the perpetra- tors of tho crimes be brought to justice, the murders would be stopped. There was no use to deny that these | murders were ior political purposes, His iriend (Sir, Thurman) might as well try to concoal Mount Vesuvius by spreading his pocket handkerchief ovor the crater. Mr. THURMAN suid'the ‘Senator from Indiana was so anxious to make bis hile partivan speech that he could not wait to have bis resolution taken up again, | but on this Indian bill he saw ii to make this stamp | speoch. He entered the lists with lis armor on and | with that same old ancient sabre to stir up the North. ern mind to inake the people of tue North hate tho oople of the South, He supposed the Senator trom ndiaaa could not help it, This thing had come to be | a chronic disease with hima, and nothing seemed to af- ford him so much delight as to find that a iew colored people in tho South had been killed. When such things did happen tho Senater thanked the Almighty jor bia aid to the republican part He (Mr, Thurman) could hardiy help biusbing for the Senator from Indiana when he was guilty oi the small criticism that Tiiden and Hendricks had not noticed the Hamburg matter, They would have made them- seives tho laughing stock of the whole country I! they had dono any such thing, How came it that Mr, Wheeler, the republican candidate for Vico President, made no mention in his leer of these Southern trou. vies? Why did not Governor Hay: acceptance, make hberal extracts from the specches of the Senator trom Indiana’ Why did not Governor Hayes, a mild mannered man and brave soldier, hoist the bloody flag, instead of speaking m language of milduess and kindness toward the South? Mr. thar- man then quoted (rom the letter of acceptance of Gov- ernor Tilden im regurd to reconciliation, protection of the politicu: ana personal rights of citizens, &c., and Said it was a pledge which, if delivered in an imaugural address, would satisfy the whole country that the maa who delivered it hud a seund head aud a right heart. What more could have been said by bim ¢ Mr. Thurman argued that it was not the duty of Mr. ‘Tilden to go mousing around {or Southern outrages Upon newspaper reports, Every man would seo how miserable the criticism of the Senator from ludiana was. If the statements of Governor Chamberlain and the Attorney General of South Carolina were true 1 regard to the Hamburg ditliculty, then a crime bad been committed of which he could not fund language to condemn. It added brutality to cowardice—the meanest and basest cowurdice. The shooting of unarmed pris- oners was a crime too great to be described by words. No doubt there were indiscreot men in the South, and they were the worst enemios of that section, The en- tire militia of South Carolina was composed of colered men, aud arms had beea taken from the white compa- nies, Mr, Patrxrsow said he lived the beard of it, Mr, Tuvgax said there wero a great many things which the Seuator (Mr. Patterson) never heard ol. The country was told not long ago by one high in sta- tion “Let us bave peaco,’’ but insiead of that itweemeod there was to be no und of this crusade of bate toward the Soutn, When was the country to have peace if {Dis thing wenton? The crowned heads of Europe had been invited here in this coutennial year to wil- ness the prosperity of the Republic, but, mstead of @ unite@and contented people, they were told irom the floor of this Senate that oue-third of the people cf the country were a set of monsters and were void of all traits of humanity. If that was truv the country had better hide ail the evidences of prosperity at Phila- delphia, and had never MOW TO GET PEACE, Mr. Morton satd the Senator from Obio asked when we were to have peace ip the country, (Mr, Mor- ton) could answer it, When murders ceased on ac- count of race there would be peace. ‘The crime or the republican party was in talking about this thug Let the Killing be siopped and the republicans will stop talking about it. He had uo doubt there were millions of xood people in the south, but they had not the power to control this violeat element, He believed the violent element was in the minority, but it had the power over the majority and controlled’ their politics joread irom the jettor acceptance of Mr, dricks, and suid that tlemap did not condemn bloodshed, but he condemned the party trying to make capital on account of that bk odshed.

A REPURLICAN REPLY. Mr. Komvunps, (rep.) of Vt, aid ue objected to con- siuering any bill now.

He opened the a gument by deciariug bis belief that the fixing of a day for resumption was a hopeicss menaco to prosperity; that it effected no gvod and Qhat it was utterly useless for all practical purposes, MK. MEWITT CONSIDHRS IT A PLEDGE Mr. Hewrrr, (dem.) of N. Y., opposed the bill Ho believed that the Resumption act was ove of the weak- est, crudest and most insiguificant pieces of legislation intended tu effect # financial result that ever passed Congress, but still it pledged the national honor, and that piedge be would try to redeem. It he were asked whather he thought 1 practicable to redeom it on the Ist of January, 1379, er promptly, **No.”” But he wanted to di stion with wisdom and statesinavship. There was but one way to deal With it, and that Was to appointa commission to take the whole subject into consideration, On that cou mission men of the soundest financial wisdom could be placed, und on ite report the House could take in- telligent action. MA, CIITTENDEN OFPOSRY REPEAL. Mr, Currrexpxy, (ind.) of N, Y., opposed the repeal. He said, Why repeal tne Resumption act of January | 14, 1875? Can Congress do that? Can this House do it without disgrace? Is it not repudiation pure and simple, without excuse or palliation? A fow days ugo my friend and colleague, the distinguished chairman of the N@tional Democratic Commitive, in an open loiter to the public, bravely und truthiully said—I quote bis precise language—'The legal tender notes are ~ an overdue debt, It 18 a disgrace to the people of this country that the payment of ibis debt should not have been made long since. | If the original privilege of funding these | notes in six per cent bonds fea not been repealed the bonds would have been paid within tw months after the close of the war.’ And again ‘o-day, it they were mado fundable in four and a half per ceut currency bonds, they would allbe pald aud might al be cancelled within twelve mooths.”’ Here isthe truih which touches, the honor and well-being o! every American citizen; trusy at the foundation of all our hopes of returned national prosperity, 1 ask my friend, in tho name of reason and common sense, Why he docs not, inthe imerest of a disgraced people, bring forward w bill “to-day” in harmony with bis | conviction tofund the'legai tender debt¥ Does not my colleague know, aud cannot any student of fiuauce | wee that cvents have ripened with great rapidity since this Congress assembled last December aud that the time has fully come when the privilexe (o iund tn four per cent gold interest-bearing bonds would stop further shipments of gold and turn the yollow current bituer for investment in such bonds, making substan- tial resumption of specio payments sure lung before 1879. Does not my merchant friend know that on the very instant the Congress of the United States wipes out the “disgrace” which he concedes, that trom that moment our national credit will bo foremost of ail nations of the earth, and that idle capital everywhere in Europe will seek our four per cent long bonds as the best security in the world, Does nut my iriend kuow from his experience asu master merchant and economist that the funding of the legul tender debt uuder the existing laws will 1m no wise, necessarily or im fact, mit the circulation of paper money, except as 1t muy and should be limited, by the demands of trade, and that such funding of the legal tender is the natural und sure primary step point- ing to the conversion of all vur five and six per ceat bunds into four per cent consols at an early day? Does not my friend seo just here the promised and traditional reward of honest dealings, inasmuch ag the saving on the outstanding six per cent bonds alone will be more than enough to pay the totul interest on all the legal tenders? Why not re- store the privilege of funding tu-day? The gentleman seems willing to ceusure the party in power for failing todo it. It was never so feasible as now, It seems to me a fair inference from his words which I have quoted that he is himself in favor of (unding. Will he say he is so in his place in this House’ 1s funding the true meauing of the St Louis platform as yt reads? Does the distinguished chairman of tho National Demo- cratic Committee feel warranted in pledging bis party to such legislation? Will be himseif firmly and squarely deciare bis support of such legislation? Why, then, does he justify in his letter to the public the re- peal of the Resumption act or any part of it? Now, 1 Propose, with all courtesy and yet with all the fugce of truth, to show the gentieman’s inconsistency in strik- ing at that act. He justifies its partial repeal in his letter bocause it would restore the logul tender notes to their righttul position of a debt duc upon demand and not on the 1st of January, 1879. He duos this without offering any substitute und right in the tace of the facts, thinking it will bo easy substantially to resume Jong before 1879 and still claims that repeal is not re- pudiation. Let us test that claim, My colleague in his commercial affairs has oiten recelved with great satistaction a renewed confidence from an unfortunate and improvident debtor, a new promise to pay an old, past due debt in full ata fixed date Did he ever, na single instance, receive with patience or without great indignation and rgprobation from such a debtor long before such now promise has toatured formal notice of its withdrawal’ Is not that precisely the same posi- on in which he ami his party propose to place the government of the United States im respect 10 the legal tender debt, the existence of which be bimseli characterizes us @ ‘“dis- grace to the people,” by repealing the promise to pay itn 1879? Itcannot be denied. How, then, can we Teasouably hope for thorough reform in any department of the public service in jace of such Liimdness of public judgment and hardness oi the pub.ic conscience as tolerates such bold propositions of repudiation? As between man and man wo know and recognize the ab- solute need of exact uprightness ax the condition of personal honer, As legisiators it 18 proposed that we shail ignore uprightness, and dally with it for selfish and parcican ends, THE PKOPLE PREPARING YOR RESUMPTION. Mr. Kasson, of Loutsiaua, also a member of the Banking Committee, argued against a repeal of the Re- sumption act and in favor of the appointment of « com- mittee to tako into consideration the whole subject. it was not true that no preparation was being made for resumption. [t was being made, if not by Cougross, by the people themselves. The Resumption act bad been bringing economy and bringing the balance of | trade in favor of the United States, and the banks were | but the question had been abused by politicians and demagogues. This very bill bad been presented by politicians just lollowing Mr. Tilden’s letter of acceptance. The d: - ous signiticance of this bill (and no man knew it better than Governor Tilden), was that it left no port to sail to and no time at which to arrive. Lastead of sailing for Liv- erpool, as suggested by Mr. Tilden, it was clearing ‘for Cowes and a market.” (Lauyhter.) Referring to the declaration of members and of tho democratic plat- form that the Resumption biil was a Lindrance to re- | sumption he said that if there was any significance in terms it wus a hindrance, because without it reaump- tion would be arrived at quicker, and asked the demo- crate whether they would mako that argument on the | stump in Indiana, Would they vay that they wero | going to resume specie payment before tne first of | Ch ret 1879? Would they not, om the contrary, say that Mr. Tilden was for the repeal of resumption, aud that Mr. Hendricks was for the repeal of resump- tion, and would they uot tell ‘*zreenbackers”’ to come and elect thom, in order to di it the resumption of | Specie payment? ‘That clause in the democratic plat- | form had strack him with more than opposition; it The party tw which he claimed permafently to belong demanded good constitutional money for the people of the country—farmers und iaborers. The other party Jumped at every poor money ; fi it puper, because it ‘was Worse than gold, aud tlion at silver, because it was worse than paper.

BEALISTIO ART—PLASTER FIGURES IM THE SWEDISH AND NORWEGIAN DEPALTMENTS— ROTHERMEL’S MONSTROUS PAINTING OF THE BATTLE OF GETTYSBURG. Puaverruia, Augast 6, 1876, Thero is certainly a tender place in the average human heart for Mme. Tussaud and her sebool, tor that sort of realistic statuary which makes out its effects with old clothes and plaster of Paris, afme, Tussaud deals in old clothes and wax, but plaster is the superior material. Wax is perhaps economical, for when one murderer has been hanged go long that there is no morecariosity as to his appearance the geatio wax will present the features of his successor in the Public interest, while rigid plaster is as cnyielding as an account in bankraptey. In the main building there aro about thirty dgures of this sort of statuary, and thero is scarcely any single feature of the whole exhibition that attracts more at- tention. The faces and hands are mado of plaster, col- ored with such accuracy that it is evidently difleult tor many to realize that they are not looking upon the sunburned faces of the real country people. They touch them, to be sure, All theso “statues” are from Sweden and Norway, and they are mostly in group descriptive of domestic scenes in the lift ot the people, As a means of exhibit img the = proportions and physical characte: of the people and their stylo of dress these figures | aro admirable, and it will not bo sate to regard them ae ‘an indication of depraved taste in art. Those simple- minded people evidently like statuary, but they like art to be true und to present men as they are. The pakedness of classical marble 18 not readily understood in frozen countries, As u means of exhibiting costume the usefulness of this sort of art is soen im the Swodish department, where there is shown in this way, with excellent effect, toe uniforms of Swodish soldiers at different periods of the national history. It is a pleas: ant Qllip to a dull imagination to be sud- denly contronted with the very presence of soldiers such as they were when they stood in line before Charles Xil. on Dread Paltowa’s day, When fortune left the royal Swede. It is not to our credit, nationally, that, bi our own hands at tbis sort of ‘‘atatuary,”” Onttely behind the Swedes and Norweg: Tu the United States government building the attempt bas been made in this same way (o give a vital impression arance of the soldiers and sailors of the in the Swedish de. partment. The uniforms arc there and are of great in- terest. 1t is a pity they were not so mounted that that op of the display would not look like a cheap shop for the sale of readymade clothing, All our sin# in the way of art, bowever, are venial by comparison with what is to be seen in ‘the picture gallery.

There are distortions and bold indifferences to such dotuils us the human face which seem to imply that the object is to be contemplated from the galleries. Un the whole, however, we incline to the sign painter theory. For many generations the Marquis of Granby, Old Put and General Washington have looked upoa the world from their lofty swing in tront of village taverns in the style of the hero who «prawl ail over this tremendous canvas, Here we recognize the detaik the technicalities in manipu- lation of the school that produced the Three Turks’ Heads, the Pewter Mug, the Goat and Gridiron, the Indian Queen, and tne Fiddle and Tongs. Some entorprising innkeepers in the country parts of Penn- sylvauia should buy this picture and cut out the por- trait of General Meudo on a rearing horse for the deco- ration of his establishment. It might bea fortune te him. The remainder of the canvas would make a mainsail for the ship of fools. All the fools in the snip could regard it with the consoling reflection that at Jeast they aro sounder than the mau who painted that.

THE SEVEREST BLOW THE CLOTHING TRADE HAS EVER RECEIVED—LIABILITIES OVER HALF A MILLION DOLLARS. The firm of Max Stadler & Co., wholesalo and retail doulers in clothing, at the corner of Broadway und Prince street, suspended yesterday.
