UNMASKING A BAD MEASURE. A Partisan's Efforts to Help the Bill Reacts as a Boomerang — An Omaha Editor Duped = Capital Notes, Pay the Confederate Debt, WASHINGTON, June 4.—[Special Telegram to the Bre]—During the campaign of 1554 it was intimated by repubiicans that if the brigadiers of the sonth were again installed in their saddles by a vote of the people and given the power, not two years would e before a movement would be begun for the liquidation ot the debt incurred in the south in sustaining its rebellion against the federal government. Democrats in the north pooh- poohed the prophiecy and declared it a cam- paign lie, a scarecrow, a scheme to frighten weak men. But the wisdom of the assertion has been already asserted. May 1 last,scarcely more than a year since, a democratic presi- dent was inaugurated, and when the demo- cratie party had but the lower house of con- gress and the executive, Mr. Merriman, a democratic member from New York, intro- duced the following bi “Be it enacted, ete: That all eclaims p sented by any person, corporation or associ tion against the United States for loss or damage resulting from the late insurrection r inst the United States, which claims will require judicial decision before their final determination, be, and they are |I(‘I’i‘l?' referred to the court of claims, which shall have full power to hear and determine the same in practices, Seetion 2 immediately. No attention was paid toit at the time of introduction because, doubtless, those who knew its meaning were so fully in sympathy with its success that they did not want to impair the chances of its passoge by calling attention to it. During a meeting to-day of the house committee on war claims. to which the bill was reierred, Judge Fullerton, an eminent lawyerof New York, madea request to be heard on a measure before it. The request was granted. Judge Fullerton had not spokena dozen sentences till it flashed on the committee his mission and the scope of the bill above quoted. It meant the payment Dby the government of the $6,000,000,000 out- standing confederate bonds. So eloguent was the arzument entered into, and so unique and interesting, that the committee did not_interrupt the spi r for overan hour, Judge Fullerton contended that in the fist . place the federal govern- ment had no right or authority to ay that a sovereign state could not nd should not pay one of secondly, that the contede participats in the ratificati ment to the constitution whieh forbids ment of their obligations: and, thirdly, the gov- assumed_the responsibility of debt and must pay it. Judge Fullerton gave practical illustrations in his argument, exhumed laws and went back into ancient history to,show the vrinciples for which he fou ome of the members of the com- mittee began asking questions, when the lawyer declared that the young men before him would live to see the confederate debt all adjusted and paid by the federal government, He declared it "an honest debt—that the bonds were bought in good faith by inno- cent purchasers, and that no government couldexist which stood upon the basis the federal government had taken. He asked to be allowed to submit a brief in the case, and his_request was granted, The matter created a sensation. Many of the northern democrats are mich _embar- rassed over the appearance of this subject at this time, and are charging to-night that Judge Fullerton was hired by the republican congressional campaign committee to raise the question at this time for_ political pur- poses. But the lie is given to this theory by the statement of Judge Fullerton t! he'rep- resents the bondholders and that the measu, which he advocates was introduced before there was a republican congressional com- mitte CREASING T The commer having 8 protty and harbor bill. carefully, item’ b are that the rive the house will hardly know their offspring when it gets back to them.
