SENATOR THURMAN,, A Conclusive Spee(l:h on the Legisla« tive Appropriation Bill-The Neces= . sity and Justice of the Political Amendments Plainly Demonstrated. In the debate upon the Legislative Appropriation bill, recently before the United States Senate, Senator Thurman, of Ohio, delivered a lengthx: and conclusive speech, a full synopsis of which is here given: Ao Mr. Thurman said they had before them an Appropriation bill for the support of the Legislative, Exccutive and Judicial branches of | the Government. Nobody denied that the amount was sufficient, but opposition had been made to the bill because or the provisions relating to trial by jury and to elections. Rather than agree to these, the minority say in effect that they'will stop the- Appropriations and defeat the bill. . Scarcely any word had been uttered by the minority on the merits of this question. It was said that thesa‘ provisions had no propgr place in the Appropriation bills, and that they were dictated by ; the South, because the gentlemen, in thejr imagination, supposed there wasia huge conspiracy to produce anarchy, as if the majority here and tiie Democratic people of the United States have not as much interest in the order, peace and prosperity of the country, and the perpetuity of the Government, as any men belonging to the Republican or any other arty. : . Mr. Thurman proceeded to analyze the laws proposed to be repealed, and argued that they were in the utmost degree oppressive, as they shut out intelligence from the jury box, and punished those who could not take the ironclad oath because they had Eiven a cup of cold water, even, to anyone who kad opposed the Government. If the law was justifiable in war it was not so now, at a time when all should, unite; The most inflammatory, unfounded and unjustifiable attempt had been made to array one portion of the people against the other, thus endeavoring to make sectionalism as permanent as the Continent itself. Why did not these gentlemen point out the detects of the provisions if they be-. lieve they exist? They were told that these’ provisions were inserted at the command of Southern domination, but there was not a word of truth in it. They were not in the interest of Southern men, or of Northern men, particularly, but in the interest of the people of the country. The laws which these provisions intended to repeal were passed originally to oppress the people of the South, and to disfranchise, imprison: and persecute naturalized citizens of the North. He proposed to speak on the subject of the Constitution, if that instrument may be mentioned without irreverence. He then argued that trial by jury was a shield of the people and a safeguard to liberty, and that thelaws proposed to be repealed were enacted in the interest of the Republican party. Though no Jefireys may hold his bloody assizes in this courtry, yet, in & minor degree, if not to the full ex‘tent, if these enormities shouldDe continued, the courts of justice, as Hallam says, would become caverns of judicial murders and mere instrumentalities of party feeling and personal advantage. In the pacification of the country and the restoration of harmony everywhere, we should go back to the old paths of justice. Y Under Sees, B§2o and 821 all the parties in a suit and all the counsel are satisfied. In steps the United States District Attorney and calls the Court’s attention to the presende in the jury-box of men who gave' aid and comfort to the Rebellion by clothing a poor soldier, whose bare feet were bleediug in the frost and snow, and for being so vile as to believe that the story of the good Samaritan was told us for our imitation. Those men’ are excluded from the box if the Judge so directs. . This is not an impossible case., It has-taken place since we have been in this chamber. Such laws :wonld disgrace Dahomey. ‘Was the demand to return to the old, well-trodden paths of justice and legal procedure a matter to fire the Northern mind and set all the demagogues north of Mason and Dixon’s line declaiming against the designs of the Democratic party? Itis noteasy, continued Mr. Thurman, to Ilgrovi,de a remedy for existing defects. Experience has' proved that,. when you undertake to remedy Jury systems where there are apt to be political questions, it is essential that you provide against juries consisting of men of one political party alone. We cannot avoid taking notice-of political parties. We take such notice in our State laws by providing that Judges of Election shallybe chosen from different parties, and in our Federal laws by a similar provision in regard to Supervisors. ‘We ave compelled, as practical men, to recognize the fact that in this, as in all free countries, there are different political par\uies, and therefore the proposition in the pending bill, that the names of tH jurors be ' placed in a_box by the Clerk of’fthe Court, and by a Jury Commissioner of & different political faith from thasjof the Clerk\ and that the names shall be'so put in alternately is not open-to criticism because it recognizes political parties. : Passing from the subject of juries, Mr. Thurman spoke of the subject or “elections, and their freedom from political interference, and the necessity and justice of repealing the present, Jaws, which were instrumentalities of corruption and frapd.<' .. 7 'y

These Jaws were pretended, when passed, to be for the protection of freedmen in the South against Ku-Klux, but their real object was to oppress voters in the North, and especially to disfranchise, imprison and persecute naturalized citizens of the North. The Almighty Father, said Mr. Thurman, had given him a capacity to teel, for which he was truly grateful, though he was sometimes inconvenienced by it. His indignation sometimes made him forget that he was weak and ought ot to give way to his feelings too much. In ' speaKing of the Election laws, thereé came to | him a pieture of their operation in New York: City, of a cage full of men sweltering ana‘ guffering under the arbitrary and dictatorial ‘mode of a corrupt and contemptible Commissioner of Electious, and he could not, suppress the thought that a transaction had taken place. in this country tkat could not have occurred in any other civilized country without blood being shed. But he proposed to speak dryly to-day, hogiug thus to make a better legal argument than if he exhibited feeling. ! Even if Coustitutional they should be repealed, but he denied their Constitutionality. ‘Certain Senators had nothing but a sneer for anyone .who'cited the Constitution, and the | Senator from Minnesota (Windom) had said | the Democrats. objected to the Constitutionality of something ‘‘as usual,’’ intimating ; that it was a part of theirstock in trade to cry ¢ upconstitutional.” It would be a sad day for this country when objection to a measure on Constitutional grounds eould be put down with 2 ‘sneer.. These Election laws provide, among otner things, that any person who, by -the law of any State, s required to perform some act in order to entitle him to vote, s‘gali, it he offer to pertorm that act and his offer.be rejected on‘account of his race, color or previous condition of servitude, have a ri%ht. to vote, notwithstanding the refusal of the proper officer to allow him to perform the act.. Sec. 2004 was merely a repetition of the Fifteenth Amendment to the Constitution, and therefore not objectionable; but Sec. 2005 provides for! offering to citizens facilities to fultill the prerequisites to yoting required by the State laws, and Secc. 2006 Im- \ poses penalties upon officers refusing to provide such facilities. Sec: 2007 makes an offer to fulfill any prerequisite to voting equivalent to its performance, and Sec. 2008 imposes fines on the Judges of Elections who refuse to receive the votes cast under the preceding section. These sections are in execution of the Fifteenth -Amendment, but they are so comprehensive that they include all citizens, free-born a 8 well as those who have beens slaves, and ‘they ap%to .all local as weéll as general e]e}‘:tiox;tl';. 5 e:e is:he,Co:sﬁnﬁloni al warrant for the enactment of these laws? wa";ﬁ‘oﬁdoﬂ%ﬁqb& éiq’e&%‘wgr&n&ng 5 i W i, B 6 e i 0. 1, which we 1y shad theé:honor o re< ceive.from His Exeelfanc%m»&gg‘?% angd, h:cl: about equally uqfogpunatgﬁmh his ;§e§ e e i R of the Constitution. The Fit~ éo?:jt%: At%endment ~does not. support thése statutes, But 2; statutes go further, and ‘undertake to regulate the right of every eitis Yohe, 0 hches what h,‘g:?olor or what previous e« jon, The Supreme Cou bR cho s provions s eoh stit 51 that the Fifteenth Amendment onfe W*M‘%%‘R md.égxt qarantees those, otherwise qualified against

discrimination of any sort against voters. There is abundant provision in these sections to prevent men from voting, but not for their protect.on, and ample provision for blackguard Deputy Marshals drawn Irom the lowest portions of New York and Phi :wé,g a. There is Eower {or them to arrest Withou y arraut the most peaceful and reputable eitizen who offers to vote and bring him before United SBtates Commissioner. They can tear the State Justice from his seat, where he is executing the State laws. It isnot alaw to secure, but to prevent, the right to vote. Art. 1, Sec. 4, of the Constitution gives Congress power to regulate the times, places and ‘manner of holding elections for Representatives. The-laws sought to be repealed have nothing to do with the times and places. Therefore the only present application of that article lies in’ the word ‘‘manner.” The student of this subject will observe that the principal object of ‘this Constitutional provision is to enable the Federal Government to preserve its existence. ’ Mr. Thurman maintained that the laws now sought to be repealed were not a Constitutional exercise of power to regulate elections; for it is fundamental that Congress cannot,. ander Art. 1, Sec. 4, interfere in ‘any maaner with the election of State osficers, and any regulation for Congressional elections enacted by Congress must be o 0 framed as not to so interfere. .No legal proposition was ever clearer to him than that. He proceeded ‘to show that, under the existing law, persons ‘prévented irom voting for Congressmen or for Presidential Electors were at the same time prevented from voting for local and State officers. Art. 1, Sec. 4, would never have been adooted if our fathers had® foreseen the uses to which it would be put. But -even if these laws were Constitutional they ought to be repealed, for, instead of being in the interest of pure and honest elections, the mind of man never devised a worse instrument. of fraud, corruption and oppression than these laws. When they were passed there were only eight Democrats hére, and they were powerless to prevent their adoption. ; :

Mr. Conkling asked if it were. possible that eight men would have made so much noise as was made on that ocecasion. i Mr. Thurman said those eight' men were inspired. |Laughter.] They stood up for: the Constitution and for honest elections, and naturaily made a noise and something beside noise. It was argument, and that argument has had its eftect. It has flled these seats and increased the number of Democrats from seven, as when he first came here, until they sprea& out and reached over into the promised land. He did not believe at that time that these laws were passed to protect the freedmen, and history has shown his incredulity to be well founded. . They originated in the City of New York in. the Union League Club, a partisan political club. He read from the reports of the Committee of Expenditures in the Department of Justice of the FYorty-fourth Congress:the testimony of Samue! J. Glasson before that committee, which showed him to have been chief counsel employed by that club to get up these laws, and therefore he will be acknowledged, by the other side'of the Senate at least, as a respectable man. Hewas assist‘ed by a man not so respectable, and who has ‘become quite historical, one John I. Daven‘port. Thurman read from the testimony at length, showing what measures the Union League Club took to procure the passage of those laws, and the connection -of Davenport therewith. When the laws were first proposed, they contained many provisions not ultimately passed. As first proposed they almost distranchised every naturalized. citizen in the United States; made it almost impossible to be naturalized, and gave no naturalized citizen security in his rig}xt to vote. Mr.

Thurman called Senator Morton’s attention to these provisions, and said: ‘ Morton, you cannot support those sections.” 'He said, after examining them, *‘Certainly, I cannot,”’ and he used his influence against them; and 80 they were defeated. The. laws originated. in the Union League Club and were passed tor party purposes, and not at all for tue protection of the freedmen. He would cite some tigures to support his assertions. .In 1876 there were 4,863 Supervisors of Elections appointed under these laws, of which 1,779 were appointed in the State ot New York, nearly one-halt of the whole number. There were 11,610 Marshals, more than one-fourth of them in New York. -The main point ig Wlk%e did the money go? In that year thete Whs expended $285,921. How much was: expended to protect poor freedmen down in the country where the niﬁht—rider, the WhiteLeaguer and the Ku-Klux oppress him? In the ten Southern States there was expended $48,719, and in the other States $237,250 was disbursed. That is to say, about one-sixth of the money went to the SBouth and five-sixths to the North. That is the way the freedman was protected. They made the South give the negro a right to vote, but, when it came to using the money of the United States, for every dollar they gave to protect him they tls\})ent, five dollars to corrupt elections at the orth, and to deprive men of their right-to vote there. The Senator from New York (Conkling) had carefully enumerated the different varieties of thugs, shoulder-hitters and roughs which formed a part of ‘his constituency. If New York City were raked from Harlem to the Battery there could not be found in it a worse set of menthan the Deputy Marshals selected in 1876 and 1878 to execute these laws. Of the 285,250 spent in the North in 1876, $156,000, being more than onehalf, was sent to New York State. The roughs of adjacent States did not like to see their brethren in New York getting all the money, so, to pacify them, some was sent out of that State. Thirty-seven thousand dollars went to Pennsylvania. That was enough, because the local managers of the machine in Philadelphia knew how to manage elections g‘erfectly and did not need any help irom ederal Supervisors to secure the election of Republicans. But $37,000 was spent in Pennsylvania to satisfy the clamor of the roughs. Then they paid some attention to Baltimore, and sent $12,000 to Maryland. Jersey City was a pretty important town and got $12,276 —not much, butit helped to pacify the brethren. So these four States, New York, Pennsydvania, New Jersey and Maryland, absorbed $217,000 of the §285,000, leaving #68,000 for the other thirty States. In 1878 there were 4,881 Supervisors, of which 1,953 were in New York, and 1,862 in Pennsylvania, leaving only 1,066 for all the other States. Of the 4,725 Marshats more than half were in‘New York. The expenditures were $z22,714, of which only $18,241 went South. The gains of the Republican party in New York, New Jersey and Pennsylvania will show why this money was sgent in the North. In one single election fourteen Representatives were gained, and, singularly enough, the greatest gain was ‘where the most money was spent. Mi. /Thurman said there was levidence that this money was spent corruptly. In selecting Deputy Marshals persons thought to be: purchasable were sent for and asked if théy would work for the Republican candidate, and upou promising to do so they were appointed ‘deputies. In this manner large Democratic majorities were destroyed in certain districts. If the Democrats were to obtain power on March 4, 1881, and there was such a blessing as a Democratic President, the Republicans would clamor for the repeal of these laws more loudly than they cry now against it. They would not trust such power over the public purse and officers with a Dem- : ggratic President. Another ox would be gored en. : Cioa e e

Mr. Thurman zaid it would surprise some to learn how Davenport had feathered his own pest. Without speaking of eight thousand affidavits at ten cents each which he made out against the people for false registration six months before they offered to register, he would refer to other evidences of his corruption, because it was right that this man shoufd be held up to eternal infamy. He showed how $34,000 of the Secret SBervice fund got intp Davenport’s hands and was never - accounted for to the Government. He hated to deal with such a fellow, but he was the most ‘potential nian inthe countrg. A former Doorkeeper had jokingly said of himself that he was a **bigger man than old Grant,”’ but this man is a bigger man than half a dozen such Piesidents as we have now, in con;;tomn% (sdiectlons. He meart no disrespect to the Presidént.. He could not turn up his nose with Senatorial dignity and ignore this man. It was not an ant uoder his foot, but an elephant. He read testimony showing Davenport’s acquisi‘tion of wealth since his appointmént to office ‘and said Johnnie prospers and isa fruitful tree, though the fruit is of a very bad kind. He had intended to say something about the Army bill and the vetoe, though he preferred ‘to stick to his text. in his judgment there

was never so inexcusable an exercise of 1 the veto power as in the vetoes lately sent to them. It is the firgt time a President has vetoed an Appropriation bill and the first time a bill has been vetoed because it repealed existing laws. The veto vnxmer was intended as a check upon uncovstitutional, hasty and ill-considered legislation, or b 0 enable the Executive Department to defend itself from encroachment by the Legislative Department. [t is also the first time a President in a message Has quoted the remarks ot Senators and Represéntatives in Congress to impute to them improper motives. He enlarged upon the impropriety of such allusions. There were other strange things about the messages. In the first message the President wag understood as saying troops could not be’ used at elections under the- laws} but in the second he tells us that the Government might be overthrown if the military could not be used on - election days. Was there eyer so thoroughly shallow—he would not say contgr{ng)tible—but £0 transparent a sophistry as this? > In conclusion, Mr. Thurman said he bhad never been more pained than by the course of debate in opposition to this bill. It had been madethe occasion of reviv.ng sectional hatred. He appealeil to every candid man to say if the course of the Democratic party, and especially of the Bouthern members, warranted such censure. The Southern States are an integral part of the Union, and their citizens are as much interested s any:in its welfare and as fully entitled as any to try to promote that welfare according to their counvietions. If such appeals resulted in making the North solid to rule forever over the other section he would despair of there ever being a real union in this countiy. He warned the men engaged in thisattempt to create sectionalism that sectionalism might in the futnre be drawn by other lines than those of Mason and Dixon’s. It might take other shapes, and they who now are most anxious to promote it and to govern by a solid North may find that there is another solidarity that will’ govern them. [Applause.]

SAM PATCH ECLIPSED. A Canadian Jumps from the Suspens= sion Bridge at Niagara into the River Beneath, a Distance of Nearly 200 Feet, and Estapes Unharmed. | | ' [Special to Chicago Inter-Ocean.] - Burraro, N. Y., May 21. This afternoon, H. P. Peer, a native of Tetterville, Ont., performed the astonishing and un‘}:recedentedi ifeat of jumping from the new Suspension Bridge, at Niaﬁara Falls, into the boiling waters of Niagara River, and coming out safe and sound. The distance jumped was 192 feet, and eclipses in every way the great leap of Sam Patch at Niagara Falls in 1829, who jumped 142 feet and came out all right, but a short * time afterward lost his life in jumping the Genesee Falls at Rochester. His dress consisted of merino hose and a full suit of tights. An inflated life-pre-server, funnel shape, of his own design and construction, covered his hips and extended up to his arm-pits. Cotton cloth was lightly banded about the life-preserver and about the hips and loins, and a large soft sponge protected his mouth and nostrils. His ears were stuffed with sponges slightly moistened with spirits, and his thighs and feet were ﬁrmg held by elastic straps. Over his Bhoulders was a strong leather brace, to ithe center of which was attached an' iron ring of good size and strength. Firmly riveted to the ring was over 200 feet of six-strand brass wire cable, the’ whole being wound up on a cylinder arranged to unwind as the hero of the hour descended to the water. It also served to keep him in an upright position, but not to retard his speed. - - Peer appeared upon the bridge at 3:35 o’cleck, amid prolonged cheering from the large crowd which was patiently waiting his advent. As he stepped upon the temporary platform which had been constructed outside the guard-rail of the bridge, he appeared quite nervous. He stood a moment and surveyed the awful chasm ‘below him, and the spectators held their breath in anticipation of what seemed to be deliberate suicide. He then suspended himself by his hands, and strai?htened his body in a rigid manner, looked lovingly on the frighktened company, and, at just 3:40 o’clock, exclaimet?, ¢ Good-by; let go,”” and shot downward through the air like a flash of greased lightning. . Four seconds of deathless suspense elapsed when he struck the rushing waters, feet foremost, and disappeared with a great splash. In a few seconds he rose to thejsurface and began swim--ming against the swift current, which had carried him some distance. His appearance was the signal for great cheering from the multitude, and it was continued as he was picked. up by a boat which was in waiting, and, pickinﬁ up the oars, he quickly rowed himself to the shore. An examination showed the intrepid jumpist to be safe and sound in wind and limb, and not a scratch upon him. Mr. Peer is aCana/dian, and a sailor' by occupation. He is five feet seven inches tall,” weighs 143 pounds, and is thirty-five years of age. His first jump was 108 feet from a broken mainmast on a vessel on the Caribbean Sea, seven years ago. At that time he was forced to jump or fall upon the deck, and, seizing the rim of his hat in both hands, descended safely into the water. Another notable jump was one of seventy-two' feet, from an elevator in Milwaukee, but his wonderful leap of to-day makes all previous efforts pale into utter insignificance.

Extent- -of Co-Operative Societies - in ; ¥y Great Britain, - . ON'the Ist of January, 1876, there were in England 926 registered co-op-erative societies; 237 in Scotland, and five only in Ireland; the English societies numberini42o,ooo members with a capital stock or fund amounting to $26;100,000; the Scotch with 59,000 members and a..capital.of.s2,loB,ooo. In the course of this ‘same year the number of English societies was ia‘creased by 64 new ones, of which four‘teen only were producing societies; the: others being gi,sttjibutév‘eg. . We see that the number of the latter is largely in preponderance, and it would be no ex--aggeration to claim four-fifths of the total of co-operative societies as distributive societies. They come into collision with; far fewer - dfficulties: than other societies, and when they avold that rock on which so many have been wrecked—furnishing goods on eredit—they are almost certain of success. The oldest and most famous of these .is the Pioneers of Rochdale which, established in 1843 by some ﬂ‘%%nei-geamps of this little ‘town® who *furnished altogether only the very modest sum of $l4O, owned twenty .:gears later a capital of $215,000, and did an annual business of $750,000. The -distributive Society of Glouocester, established in 1860, did. ‘not seti out in-a fashion any more brilliant, At the beginning it had only 20

members, with ‘a capital stock of about $100; but in 1877 the number of its members had inereased to 2,019, and its capital amounted to more than $95,200, without including their three warehouses, valued at $55,400. Their semi-annual transactions require $133,800, and in‘the space of sixteen years have amounted to $2,208,000. We .Ought also to refer to the distributive society of the civilemployes of London, the Civil-Service Supply Association, which has 4,488 regular members, with 14,980 customers . admitted through favor, whose annual purchase of merchandise calls for $2,217,500, while their sales yield s2,4os,2oo.—Sunday After--0oen: fop June. .t o ndoiE Gl Roy G
