C, Jane 12, 1876 In tlio Senate on Saturday tbe chair laid bcfoie the Senate a mes sage irorn the President of the U. S. calling the attention of Congress to the near approach of the fiscal year, and the failure of Congress so far to make provision for the ordinary ex penscs of tho government. Also to various sections of the Revised Stat utes forbidding the expenditure ol unnecessary balances and requiring that tbey be paid into the Treasury at the end of the fiscal year. He further states that if the appropria tion bills are not matured before the begining of the new fiscal year, vthe government will be greatly eniLar rassed for want of funds and he sub mits a joint resolution to extend the appvopriations for Consular, diplo matic and postal services, support of tbe Army and JNavy lor the present fiscal year to the next. It was order ed to be printed and lie on the table. The Senate theu resumed considera tion of articles of impeachment against W. W. Belknap. After con siderable discussion between the counsel and the board of managers, the Senate as a court of impeachment adjourned to Friday next. Legisla tive business was then resumed but a count ot the members developing tho fact that no quorum was present the Senate at 12.50 adjourned, In the House a lengthy debate took place on the joint resolution above referred to as having been sent to the two houses by tho President. Mr. Lord, ot New York, on behalf of the impeachment managers informed the House that the counsel of Bel knap had made application tor a post ponement until November next. Op- tosition was made but upon a vote eing taken and standing 69 to 69 it was decided by the Speaker pro tern giving the casting vole in the affirm ative. At three o clock there ut'in; but sixty-five members present the House ailjourned. The Republican having been prevented by the weath er from carrying out their intentions of boiling a grand ratification meet ing on Saturday, will do so this even ing. They have engaged the services of a berd of speakers, and an ocean of holy water will scarce bu mnicient to wash out the stains of falsehood and deceit that will mark their proceeo ing. The Cincinnati nomination was under the circumstances the strongest they could make and broadly betrays tho straights' to which they are driven. There was not a man of any promi nence in their party whose record would bear the test of close examina tion. So they were compelled to take up a man unnoted and unnamed. What in the name ot common sense do they present to the people but, an automaton who comes into place and favor only to bo handled by tho same style of sntelites that now surround the present incumbent. And under his administration what have we to look for but a repetition of the dis graceful mal administration of the last eight years. The Itads are sharp indeed and by no means blind to the feeling of deep regret mingled with furious indignation with which their dishonest practices ' and , corrupt achievements of the past eight years are regarded by the people. An old but truthful dogma is that a drown ing man will catch at a. straw. And so will a sinking political party. Hayes is truly a straw they have caught. As toe straw was never yet known to save tho drowning man neither will the Hayes straw save the Republican party. Another good and truthful saying is thai there is no use in crying over spilt milk, but still I can't help feeling lachrymose that the Cincinnati Convention did not' act the part of the spoilt child and grab the toy in spite of all the nurse could do. Had they but nomi nated the sprightly James G. Blaine. such a tidal wave of popular indigna tion would have rolled over him in November next that the bones of Horace Greeley would have rattled in their shroud. But enough is left for Hayes and Whrekr, and after No vember next their names will appear where they never have before been seen, on the pae of their country's history as the disappointed aspir ants for a position they had never been fitted to fill. Nemo. The Louisville Courier-Journal of June 17tb, it responsible for the fol lowing: Telegraphic dispatch received by leading liquor house at 12 o'clock yesterday from Cincinnati: "Send 1 00 barrels cheaD whiskr br soecial train. Supply here exhausted andJ entire Blaine, Conkling and Morton delegations clamoring for drinks, and swearing it is whisky or defeat." It was indeed a dreadful moment when that crowd of dead-beat and bum mers were threatened with cold water. ine Auru-e lHi.ot.i4ii Bare emloraod ... .... . . llltr, -lite vusn'ci llJ" e " - -tcr tifrn .,..1 u. K-.. a- now d.nni t H in maov Suu Peoiunuanea .rUwr HtnU. A Terrible Fat. Rodney Morris, son of Bishop Mor ris, and two laboring men, lost their lives on Friday evening of last week, under tho following circumstances, at Portland. Threo men by the name of Thomas Neal, Mike O'Da'y and Sutherland were engaged in digging a cess pool abjacent to the water clos ets of St. Helen's school. ' In con necting the new cess-pool with the old, the poisonous gases produced asphyxia upon Neal and O'Day, who were , in tho pit. Young-Morris, a brave lad of 18, hearing the shout of Sunderland, and only having the idea before him of rescuing the unfortunate men, descended tho ladder and mot their fate. Bishop Morris has the heart-felt sympathies of this commu nity for the sudden loss of his noble boy. bUlne's Condemnation. Mr. Blaine's defense before the House, of Representatives is his con demnation, remarks the Boston Tran oript.i It needs no other evidence than the letters be presents to con vince the people that he is a con spicuously unfit man to occupy the Presidential Chair. He appears, by his own showing, to have signalized his advent into Washington life bv obtaining from Simon Cameron, then Secretary of War, a valuable con tract for tho Spencer Rifle Company. This was before he entered Congress. Atier becoming a member ot the House, and the Speaker thereof, his acts respecting railroads, as showu by the letters which he publishes, rendered his nomination for the Pres idency impossible. No brilliant as sumption or oratoriul display can de stroy the damnatory presumption af torded by these revelations ot the Congressional course of James G. Blaine. He represents himself as the intimate business friend and associate of railroad speculators, some of whose schemes depended for their vitality a id success on the action of a Con gress, of which he was. an influential member in one branch, and a Speaker a part of tho time. That fact would be enough to constitute the political death-warrant ot a higher toned pub lic servant. i -MaawMSM A MAN OF PAH9. A Few of the Stories that will be Told before the Canvass la Over. From the New York Sun. "What do you think of the tick et?" asked Mr. Magruder, in the boarding house last night "Toler'ble," said Mr. MagufHn. "loler'ble. Down in the, Custom House this morning I saw a a clerk behind the counter trying to stave off a lot of fellows who wanted to get their invoices verified. I asked him what he thought of it, and ho stopped work at once. '"Thijik of it?' he said. 'It's a blazer. It'll draw like a house afire.' " 'Think Governor Hayes will be a Reformer ?' "'Reformer! 1 don t know any thing about that, but just look atVs war record, i was in a regimcni that served under Haves at Shiloh. The Governor was a brandishiu' bis sword and urging the boys on, when along come a bullet and knocked on his right arm. He just shifted his sword to his left hand, had a tourni quet put on the stump of his right arm, and then plunged into the fight again. Good ticket ? I should say sol' "Over in the Appraiser's Office I found the enterprising young man that used to put the figures in Char-J ley Lawrence s invoices. 1 askod yim what he thought of the ticket. " 'Think ot it ? It's a roarer " 'Believe the Governor will pitch in for reform V " 'I don't know what he will pitch in for; but will you just cast your eye on his war record r I was in a regi ment that served under him at Aotie- tam. The Governor was brandishin' his sword and shouting to tbe boys to git in, when along came a bullet and snaked off his led arm. He just shifted the sword over into his right hand, had a hasvy toarmquet pat on the stump ot bis left arm, and then bolted into the fight again. Draw ? He'll draw like a blast furnace 1' "Happening in at the Post Office asked one of the boys who were 'rast iin' tbe mails bow tbe ticket struck him. 'It'll weep the conntry V u 'Do you suppose Hayes will re form the Government V "'Hey? I didn't catch that;' and the voucg man put his hand up to his ear. I repeated the question. Oh yts: Reform. Wcll.no .1 V. J - . miiiiM. ,,. ' . ,,.,, u. -ill iseiormer or net; out win you jum t - ! let your pye rest on bu war more I for a moment ? I was in regiment that served under him at Gettysburg. The Governor was brandishin' his sword and hollerin' to tho boys to let themselves loose, when along come a bullet and carried away his right leg. The Governor stopped just long enough to have his leg coopered up, and then he drove into the battle again. Good ticket ? The country was crying for it I' "Then i dropped in at one of the United Stato Court rooms, up stairs, and asked one of the officials what ho thought of the ticket. "A boon to tho country, sir; a sweet boon.' " 'Think he will root out the cor ruption that defiles tho servioo f' " 'Just how much rooting he'll do I am unable to state; but I may in vile you to consider for a moment his war record ?. I was in a regiment that served under Hayes in tho Wil derness. Tho Governor was bran dishin' his sword and calling on tho boys t rush lorwnrd, when along came a bullet and lopped of his left leg. Tho Governor didn't even get oti his horse. He just tietl a waist belt around the leg and went ahead again. WH1 the pej le vote for hiq? My friend they will have to enlarge the ballotboxes.' . . "In a room across the hall I met a TT . 1 .1 ar m united states Ararsiiul making out a bill for extra charges. I asked him about the ticket. ' 'Magnificent J he said, magnifi cent 1' " 'Think the Governor is likely to reform the Administration ?' 'New, really, I had'nt given the reform question much consideration ; ut let me ask you to look at his war record. I was in a regiment that served under him at Cold Harbor. I'he Governor was brandishin' his sword and whoopin' tho boys' for ward, when along come a shell and struck him square on the breast. It busted inside ot him and tore him in to fine hush. We raked him into a blanket, and were carrying him to tho bivouao of the dead, but the Gov ernor wouldn't have it. . lie jumped out of the blanket and spiung on his horse and went forward, brandishin his sword. Will he be elected ? Just you wait and see 1' ' Anatomically speaking, Mr. Ma gruder, the Governor is, or was, a man ot pans; much so: but I don t believe they can get him together in time for 'lection. The Cincinnati Platform. From tht Philadelphia (InJ.) Times. Well, we have got a platform, even it we have no candidate. And such a plallorml There nevor was any thing ike it siuco the wcrld began, It is a sort of a Centennial affair, as befits the season, giving reminiscences of the rovoluiiou and ol the whole history ot the country since, and pointing vague y forward into the dim iulure, like one of tbe allegorical piulures that are peddled about this Summer, in which Washington, Lincoln, Grant the Goddess ot Liberty and sundry other people aro seen in striking atti tudes, and above them all is seen the renins ot the RepublioniEparty point ing with piido. Indeed, pointing may be said to be what the party goes ou pointing to the past, that is. The parly is a little uncertain about the present and the future, beyond the fact that itls the party that ought to have tbe offices. On that point it t mind is clear. It would be quite beyond our power to present an abstract ot this wouuer ful document, which msy be described as a compound ot the Declaration ot Independence and tbe editorials of the Hartford (Jouram aud the i xts- burg Commetcial, enlivened whh ex tracts from the Congtmional Record. It appears from tbe telegraphic report that iis reading was greeted with many cheers, but we are disposed to think in a good many places where tbe reporter has written "applanjo" a strictly truthtul chronicler would have added' laughter. It is not possible that grown men could have listened to all this astonishing clap-trap with straight faces.' However tbe reader can peruse it for himself, and as they say In the country stores, "if you don't see what you want ask fir it" We believe tbe committee has omit ted nothing; but if anyone can think of a subject that bas been overlooked, we are sure they will be nappy to turoisb supplementary resolutions whenever called upon. In the first place we learn that this is a nation that the Republican party made it and kept it so, that we all might enjoy ihe Cente.inial together, and that tbe party is now engaged in tbe irapor tant work of pacifying the South and Preserving tbe results of the late war. fntil these results are secured beyond question ut mission will not be fulfill ed, and considering that it hat been engaged in this for the past dozen yean tnd according to its own ac count it no nearer ltt accomplishment than when it began we may suppose that the party is looking forward to the next Centennial. After this we come down to something more inter esting. Tho Republican party is in1 favor of "continuous and steady pro gress to specie payments," but it neg lects to point out tho road it purposes " to take. It also believes that "hon esty, fidelity aud capacity" should be the tests for appointment to public' office, and that Congressmen should have nothing to do with patronage. This, by the way, is really the best resolution of the lot, and is evidently inserted as a tub to the reform whale. Wo do not suppose that any Republi-" can Congressman will foul embarrass ed by it in bis management of the' cusioru houso or post offices in his' district . Tho Republican party, "rajoioing in', the quiokoned public conscience," then proceeds to tell what it will do' it the public conscience will only givo it a c'lanco. It goes in for frco schools '. aud Blaine's amendment, and for a' tariff for revenue with incidental pro tection. Mr. Blaine's friends have' got all tho land "grauts tbey want, it; is opposed to any further gifts of. tbe pnblio domain. It thinks that emi grants ought to be protected' and Cliiimmen ought to bo investigated ; that loyal women aro entitled to re spoctful consideration and polygamy to no consideration at all. It will' never, nevor, forget the Boldiers. And having thus laid broad and ' deep its ' own undying principles, it goes on to remark that the Democratic party is ' tho most infamously wicked, not to' say ficndiil), organization that the' world has ever seen, whose one pur pose is the destruction of the country and tbe overthrow of American iiwti- tutions, and it solemnly warns the, nation against this vile party's' four machinations, assuring us, in conclu sion, that if we want to know what a ' truo patriot looks like, we have only to glance at tbe immortal Grant. For those people who like this . kimi of a platform,'-this is just tho kind of a platform1 that suoh poople' like. 01 principle there is absolutely nothing. Except in the resolution on tho civil Bervico, every really impor-" tant question is treated with the inost evident timidity, while there is para graph alter paragraph of tho sheerest clap-trap, and thu only strong thing ' in the wholo pcrlormanco is tbe bitter partisanship and soolional spirit that animates the wholo. It is, in ' fact, a plain declaration that the campaign' about to open is to bo a campaign ot hostility to the South, and that the ' tattle is to bo fought, not on any . living issues, and not upon a basis of reconciliation and peace, but upon the loug buried issues'of slavery and the" war, with passion and bitterness and hato. -Suoh is the entertainment to which Cincinnati invites us in this' Centennial year. A nulrlmoulal Bureau ' Among the other institutions of San Francisco is a gilt-edged Matri-' monii.1 Buroau. It is no common af-" fair, whore you -pay your money and'1 tako your chance to hook a gold hah or a minnow io the matrimonial stream. This is another kind of a nuplial mill' altogether. Tbe male and femalo applicants, for a dash at " tho door ot the temple of Hymen join the bureau for a stated sum and in addition pay five dollars per month until the period' has expired during which two souls are to be mado one.' It the knot is not tied at that time the money is roturned. None but porsons of extra good charactor are received, aud the introductions take place iu ' tho Sir Grandison style, with bows ; and all the accompanying incidents of ultra propriety and stately decorum. Alter all these faots are stated it is ' not surprising that the papers of the Golden City should declare that this Bureau .has developed the iact that great numbers are genuinely anxious to marry and seek this means of attain-' ing an object tor their affections. If a ' bashful, backward youth can obtain a partner for life in this easy and pure manner, it is certiiuly belter than' to run the gauntlet ol papa and mamma, aunts, nnclua and married sisters, not ' to mention the expenses incident to this bigh-priced state of existence. And th-n too it is cerftinly consoling to know that you will cot be skinned in this game, but that if you do not win a wile you will at least got back your ante. California can placo this master matrimonial plan against ber attacks upon tbe Chinese, and thus claim an average on the score of morals and care lor the future welfare ot the State. There is something in tbe air' of California that produces big things, sod this nuplial bureau is one o them. It ia conceded on all sides thai Mr. . Hayes is an exceeJingly nice sort of a man. Ben. Butler certifies to his honesty and Schuyler Colfax to his piety. But if he wails for Utica to "enthuse" him into the White Houso he will be the senior of Methuselah by seref l centuries before he gets ' there. Utica (N Y.) Observer. W. It.
