The Evening Gazette

THURSDAY, JUNE 2, 1870.

THE telegraph announces that the public debt statement for May shows a reduction of $14,301,962 57. This is a large

reduction, and certainly very encouraging. At this rate we would reach a reduction of over $100,500,000 per annum.

At such a rate of reduction, we can see the end of this debt, even in the lifetime of a man who is now on the shady side of life. Perhaps it is proper to pay off this debt as fast as possible, but it strikes us, the passage of the funding bill, and the reduction of the rate of interest, is the first and most important thing to be done. We confess to an obtuseness in seeing the propriety of being in so great hurry about paying off the debt. The burdens of taxation now are very heavy, and the people demand relief. If the public debt can be funded and the rate of interest reduced, it ought to be done, and done at once. Then the debt, in our judgment, should be left to run until the people are relieved of the heavy burdens which are now weighing them down.

The rate of interest being 4, instead of 7 per cent, the duties on imposts would, in all probability, pay it, and the payment of the principal, or any part thereof, being deferred for an indefinite number of years, we-would then hardly feel the weight of this great debt.

Why lias -this funding bill, which passed the Senate some two months ago, not passed the House The last we recollect hearing anything about it, the Chairman of the Committee on Ways and Means, to whom it was referred, stated that he would not report it to the House until after the passage of the tariff bill. The tariff bill is now regarded as dead, then why does not General Schcnck report the funding bill to the House for action It is difficult to say why, but, nevertheless, we feel assured that the great interests of the people demand that the interest on the public debt should be reduced, if it can be.

The great lack of a full appreciation of the wants of the people, is the special characteristic of the present Congress. It seems peculiarly competent to do just what ought not to be done, and neglect to do what ought to be done.

The Congressional Racc.

In a few days the Republican Congressional Convention assembles in this city. It meets for the purpose of selecting a candidate to run in opposition to D. W. Voorliees, who is certain to be the Democratic candidate for' Congress from this district. All men concede to Voorliees a sharpness of intellect, and a declamatory power, which makes him a formidable candidate on the stump. Voorliees, too,can rally the entire strength of his party to his support. But that is all he can do. He cannot get one Rejpublican vote. No man who was lojral in his very heart, during the great rebellion, can consistently, or will, cast his vote for V. But he is a formidable man, and it will take a formidable man to beat ,liim. -v

If the convention gives the people as their candidate, a pettifogging lawyer—a cross-road politician, or a second-class man generally, he will be beaten. To beat Voorliees at this time, with our surroundings, will require a good speaker, an able debater, and a first-class man. »We have them. There is not a county the district but can afford such a man. Will the convention select such an one We will see. In the meantime, and we repeat it, much depends upon the man. Our party can not be united on a mediocre man. Or rather the Republican party cannot be brought to the polls in the support of a man possessing only ordinary abilities. If the convention ~will think otherwise, it will find its great mistake, when it is too late.

This Congressional district is Republican. There is not a shadow of doubt about this. There is a majority of not less than eight hundred men, of those living in this district, who to-day intend to vote the Republican ticket. It becomes the business of the managers of our party, to keep that vote entire. There is much in honest management. There is error in deception and political cliicanery.

What will be the issue upon which the campaign will be made no one can tell, even though only four months from the day of the election. As we are now approaching a specie basis rapidly, the greenback question is lessened in importance. The tariff bill, which, has occupied the attention of Congress for several months, being abandoned, leaving the present law unrepealed, that question will not enter into our politics this com,iiig canvass. The negro question is a ''"settled issue, unless the indiscretion of

Senator Sumner brings it again on the tapis. Reconstruction is certainly, by ^tliis time, fully and completely recon^rstructed. Hence, in all probability, the issues upon which the Congressional 1" I race will be made, will be, a economy in the administration of the affaire of the general government—frugality in all its expanses, and consequently a lessening of the burdens of taxation, which now so oppress the people. I ..

JUDGE S. E. PERKINS, formerly Democratic Supreme Judge of this State, publishes the following card in the Indianapolis Journal:*

When it had become evident to my mind that continued opposition, on the part of the Democracy ot the North to the war against the rebels of the South, might re-? suit in the severance of the Union instead of its restoration, I published a letter in which I declared ray purpose to support the Administration in the prosecution of the war as the only means of saving the

urn**-!#** in^Union. For this I was denounced by Democrats, published as being insane, ridiculed in "Northern passage" literature, etc. For this I have never been .forgiven by leading Democrats and am still occasionally assailed bv them public•ti ly, especially by those who'are in favor of ^-v saddling upon the State its old Canal v: bonds, as I happen to have evidence satis-

factory to my own mind. But as the time has come when I expect to support the ...country in preference to party, if I have not always done it, partizan slang is to me aui a matter ot indifference.

S. E. PERKINS.

a '.distinct recollection when

iHe^fl^i^i^oDls moment arrived, and It 'first ..became evident to Judge Perkins' mind, JSithat continued opposition, on the part of the Democracy of the North to the«%$r/against the rebels of the South,

might result in the severance of the Union, instead of it* restoration." It was in the dark days of the war, and it sent a thrill of pleasure to the- heart of every loyal man in the State. Judge Perkins then occupied a prominent position in the Democratic party. The loyalty of that party was suspected. Secret organizations were being organized inside of that party, ail over the State. The great mass of its members who "were loyal, were in the army. The great mass of those who remained at home, sympathized with the rebels. The Government, attacked by the entire South and opposed by a great party at the North, was struggling against fearful odds, to preserve its life. Clouds lowered dark and foreboding. The great mass of the loyal young men of the State had gone into the ranks. The Republican party in the State,to a man, stood by the Government and sustained its great Governor. The Democratic party, as a party, scowled like a manacled felon on every effort that was being made to suppress the rebellion. There was hardly a leader in this party, in this State, but was suspected by the loyal masses. There was hardly a leader in this State, who openly took sides with the Government. Hendricks' influence in behalf of his Government, was of that kind which gave additional encouragement to the enemy and increased the suspicions of loyal men. Voorliees, then just aspiring to eminence in his party, and possessing in a great degree the volubility of words which is powerful with the masses, was openly and secretly, individually, and representatively, naturallv and artificially, in full and complete sympathy with the rebels and their cause. His votes in Congress and his Nessus. shirted speech at Greencastle, is overwhelming proof of this.

Amid all these surroundings, and during these dark and gloomy hours in the history of this Republic, Judge Perkins boldly and patriotically announced his determination to stand by the Government. No wonder he was "denounced by leading Democrats," and no wonder that for this he has never been forgiven by *'leading Democrats." To be loyal in those days to one's country, was a sin which

"leading

Democrats" did not then,

and probably never will, forgive. It was not difficult for them to carry with them all the rank and file of the party, but the leaders, almost to a man, were in full, and many of them active, sympathy with those in arms against the Government.

Judge Perkins committed the inexcusable blunder. He will never be forgiven. His prominence in his party is gone forever, and, for ever belonging to such a party, all that is left for him now is, to hold up his hands and say, "Lord have mercy on hie a sinner."

ON the 5th day of May, Hon. Daniel W. Voorliees voted against laying the Northern Pacific bill on the table. On the 24th of May, Mr. Voorliees voted in favor of laying the Northern Pacific bill on the table. Which was the vote dictated by his interest as "attorney" for the Southern Pacific Company, and which the vote dictated by a desire to blind his constituents, in order to secure a re-election ?—Indianapolis Journal.

We protest against the Indianapolis Journal propounding any such questions. Let our Representative alone. He is our "mutton," and we, his constituents, are determined you shall not be continually interrogating him thusly. When we want him" catechized, we will go at him. Has he not a right to vote on both sides of a question Has he not been in the habit of doing that same thing for years? And has he not a good plea in bar to such questions being asked, in saying, "It's my custom., sir f11 Custom, you know, gives the right to do a thing, which might otherwise be regarded, by honest men, as dishonorable.

But, your insinuation, Mr. Journal,. that the Hon. Daniel W. Voorhees is the "attorney" for the Southern Pacific Railroad Company, is—is—you're another. He ain't he is our Representative, and, of course, could not be the attorney of a ring to get a bill through the House of which he is a member, stealing from the people millions of acres of their lands. We, who know him so well, know he ain't. How could he, and be, and remain, the Honorable Daniel W. Voorhees? That's a clincher. He could'nt.

To the Editor Terre Haute Gazette: I cannot too highly endorse your article of Saturday last, in regard to the dickering going on in Congress about great and small public measures. That eminent assemblage of political knaves and hucksters should attract the attention of the independent press. As to the other branch of the newspapers, they never rise above the condition and duty of partizan?.

Congress has become venal and corrupt, and is fast losing tike respect of the country. There are various opinions why this is so. As a citizen, I can only give my own convictions and conclusions, which are as follows 1. The character of the men who force themselves into Congress by the party machinery in vogue everywhere, is very far from what it ought to be. Thirty or forty years ago, such men, would not be tolerated by the people, 2. These new schobt,Congressmen are very generally cursed with extravagant habits, and many of them have doubly vicious morals, requiring large expenditures of money to support their fast mode of living. They haraly ever live within their means at home certainly never abroad. 3. Their pay is $3,000 a year, and mileage (say from Central Indiana) about $850. This would give them nearly $4,000 a year to live upon. About three years ago. Congress, without notice to the people, added $2,000 more to their own pay, by tacking amendments to a soldiers' bounty or pension bill, and going back nearly two years to collect what had never been authoriied by law! They voted themselves back pay, and took it without making awry nice. This must be regarded as next-a-kin to stealing but it shows the character of the men. Such pilfering could not have been done in the days of Clay and Webster, Benton or .Jackson. These great men would have frowned down such petty larceny. They are now drawing nearly $6,000 per annum—some of them much more. 4. This large sum is spent in riotous living, and ill expenditures for beyond their honest means. And even this does not supply their real ox imaginary wants. To make up something to support their extravagance, they are compelled, necessarily, to form "rings" and "land grabs," becoming the willing tools of great corporations and associations, and vote to take millions of money out of the public treasury, or granting millions of acres of the public domain to schemes of individual avarice. Like the poor starving

wretch who was bribed to commit murder, these mendicant Congressmen may well exclaim: 'Tisniy poverty, not my will, consents." 5. The large

war

expenditures made by

the five hundred millions at a time, has insured a

spirit

of extravagance iu the

government and the people. Congressmen, who were once the servants of the people, now play the role of masters. They go to Washington every year with the vulgar ambition of out-showing and out-doing all other classes in the race of frivolous fashion and foolish expenditure. If their pay (which should be more than ample) will not support them, they have recourse to the last refuge of the corrupt "ring," and their votes are sold to the highest bidder, like sheep at the shambles. 6. These legislative schemes consist ot plans for the reconstruction of States (like Gov. Bullock's Georgia case, to which ypu specially refer,) tariff oppressions, subsidy of mail and ocean steamers, Indian land swindles, and Government bonds and lands made over to railroad organizations, such as Oak Ames' big sixty million job, Fremont's huge land grab, and other projects for the building up of colossal private fortunes. Grand schemes, like these, have inoney in them, and these extravagant, fast and unprincipled Congressional spendthrifts, will pass, for a consideration, any bill which promises plunder to themselves or employers. 7. The want of attention to business, on the part of members of Congress, is notorious. This is one of the crying evils of the day. A third of them are absent daily, lounging around Washington, absent without leave—perhaps vistiing their aunt at some fashionable boarding house under the shadow of the Capitol. The telegraph, on Monday, brought the following to a Cincinnati" paper: "The tax bill made slow progress in the House to-day. As high as sixty members were absent on fmportant votes." And this, too, when a tax bill was up before the House. This is the mode in which these characters earn their $6,000 a year. At any other period in our history, such neglect of duty would shock the public mind of the country.

It is the duty of the Press—it is the bounden duty of the people—to hold up all such men to public contempt and to the severe judgment of the voters of this country. If for party purposes you screen such men, you would be a particeps criminis, and increase and prolong the accursed scenes which disgrace the National Capitol.

in THE FENIAN RAIlh_}.

The Battle of Franklin—The First Clear Account of the Fight—How the Canadians Buried the Dead.'

From the Boston Herald.

The skirmishing party was about a furlong in advance of the main body, and after marching from Hubbard's farm and ascending a knoll from which a view of the Canadian woods could be had, the red coats of the British soldiers became visible upon the hillside.

They were evidently safely entrenched, but it was not expected that they would commence fire immediately. The advan6e detachment marched down the road leading to Cookis Corner, a Canadian village, and had crossed a brook and reached the Canadian side .when

SIIABP VOLLEY OF MUSKETRY, followed by the whizzing of bullets, demonstrated that the Fenians were exposed to a deadly fire. They continued to advance, however, and the firing from the hillside continued unabated.

One man named John Rowe, of Burlington, was shot and instantly killed, and several wounded ere the Fenian commander could realize the danger of the men, by whom a brisk but ineffectual fire was returned. The order was then given to "double quick by the left flank," and take position upon a hill on the left side of the road.

SHOT THROUGH THE HEART. To accomplish this it was necessary to cross an open lot upon a steep hillside, and in doing so Tlios. Murray, of Portland, fell upon the greensward, shot through the heart.

He succeeded in reaching the top of the hill and remained there a short time. He then made a detour and returned to the road some disiance this side of the line. In crossing a lot near the road. Gen. Foster appeared in view, but O'Neill marched forward until the road was reached.

In retiring the men passed the house of Alvah Richards. Gen. O'Neill enteredit and passed up to a chamber commanding a view of the Canadian position". He was followed by Mr. Richards, asked him who he was and by what right he was there, and subsequently he asked him to leave and Gen. O'Neill then did so. BOYLE O'tlEILLY SEES O'NEILL'S ARREST.

The men nodded to each other and Gen. Foster announced his intention to arrest O'Neill for violation of the neutrality laws. A short parley ensued, and the result was that O'Neill stepped into the carriage in the presence of Boyle O'Reilly, to whom he turned over the command. The carriage was driven away rapidly, and O'Reilly visited the men and announced the arrest.

A council of war was then held, and as it appeared that the men, or many of them, were dissatisfied with the generalship displayed and had retreated demoralized, some of the officers proposed an abandonment of the movement. The men refused to obey O'Reilly. The council of war did not act harmoniously, and the men remained in shelter for several hours.

Meanwhile information of the engagement reached the village, and a party of men from New York, who happened to reach the town at that time, were sent forward to reinforce the advance guard. The detachment was subsequently heard from, and it was learned that having obtained information of what was going on, they halted and were resting by the roadside.

GEN. DONNELLY IN A TRAP.

Col. Maguinness, of Cambridge,"*^¥6posed to take a party of volunteers across the line and dislodge the Canadians, but could only secure a small squad to follow him. Lieut. Callahan gathered together about a dozen men and offered to join him, but the force was yet too small to accomplish anything, ana the movement did not take place.

In retreating from the exposed position on the road, Gen. J. J. Donnelly, of Providence, Col. J. H. Browne, of Lawrence, and several other officers, with a detachment of men, were compelled to seek shelter in. a shed, and here they were kept until nightfall under the bead of the Canadian rifles.

The Canadians once asked theitf to surrender, but they declined doing so, and toward night a small field-piece, resembling a four-pounder Parrott, was placed on the hill, and several shots fired into the Canadians. This would have been done before, but the piece was disjointed and a portion of it missing.

The men in the shed now endeavored to escape, and they succeeded, but Gen. Donnelly was shot near the spine, and dangerously wounded. Late in the evening the Fenian advance commenced to retreat on St. Albans, and a party of men from Boston, and another from New Haven reached the scene, but too late for the skirmish.

HOW TO BURY A DEAD FENIAN. U{

During the afternoon yesterday, a flag of truce was sent to the brook for the purpose of requesting the privilege to take off the dead body of young Rowe. Tnis was refosed and the body lay upon the ground all night.

This morning, when tne departure of the Fenians was learned, the Canadiana came down in large numbers, and the corpse was dragged

by the

hair of

the

head'to the hill, where the valiant sub* ject.s of Her Majesty were intrenched, and near there the

body was

buried, the re-:

niaius being throwu.ijito the grave withr out blanket or cover of aiiy kind. Not content with this a monument of rocks three

four feet high and weighing

betweerf one and two tons was oiled on top and the summit covered with a bottle. This was subsequently removed by somebody with more feeling than the brute who placed it there, but the rocks remained.

A red-coated guai'd paced to and fro around the grave during the day, and while on the other side of tne line your correspondent inquired why so much stone was placed over the body. "Well," replied the uniformed snob, "we thought the devil might come after him, and thought we'd give the old fellow a job if he did.',',,., i— Was (ion. O'Neill Arrested at His Own

Instance I

--1 i-''

The first question that arises is whether Gen O'Neill was arrested at his own instance, and this question we hear asked by friends of the Irish cause on every side. There are some very singular circumstances in the affair which necessarily excite suspicion. It appears that before crossing the frontier at Franklin, Gen. O'Neill, sitting upon his war horse, addressed his followers, some two hundred in number, assuring them that they were "the advance guard of the Irish army for the liberation of Ireland from the yoke of the oppressor." "For your own country," he continued, "you now enter tljat of the enemy. The eyes of your' countrymen are upon you. Forward! March!" With this gallant exordium, the Fenian troops passed the line, and were received with a volley by a small body of Canadian militia lying in am bush. We are sorry to say that the Fenians became demoralized under the irregular fire of the hidden, militia men, and that Gen. O'Neill, who is said to have remained behind on the Vermont side of the line, indignantly upbraided them. "Men of Ireland," he exclaimed, "I am ashamed of you. But I will lead you, and if you will not follow I will go "with my officers and die." Thereupon O'Neill boldly crossed the border, and the skirmish was renewed for an hour or more, after which the Fenians are said to have withdrawn out of fire for the purpose of obtaining rest. Gen. O'Neill, accompanied by a single aide-de-camp, now went back into Vermont, and went into a brick house upon one side of the road. Going into the parlor, he found there Marshal Foster, with his deputy. The General offered to shake hands with him, but this courtesy the Marshal declined, and, instead of grasping the proffered hand of the General, took hold of his shoulder and informed him that he was arrested. O'Neill declared that he would resist the arrest, and that he was armed but the Marshal informed him that resistance would be useless, and that he and his deputy also had pistols, and that if the General did not instantly get into the carriage waiting at the door he would throw him in. At this the gallant General surrendered, entered the carriage, and was speedily taken to St. Albans and put in jail.

These circumstances cannot fail to ex cite suspicion, and this feeling has been decidedly expressed to us by many perSQUS, some of whom were Fenians. Why, they say, if Gen. O'Neill intended to lead a serious attack upon Canada, did he pause after he began to fight, when only a handful of Canadian militia were opposed to him, and when his total loss was only two men killed and one wounded? W"hy did he not charge the Canadians and drive them from their position? Such a deed would have given new spirit and courage to his followers, and would have been widely published abroad as the first victory "of the Irish Republic. It appears also that some of his officers urg^cf him to take this course but that he rejected their advice, and instead of ordering a charge, ordered a retreat in order that his men, who had only been fighting an hour, might recruit their diminished strength. Such an instance of prudence on the part of a commanding general who undertakes the gigantic enterprise of assailing the British Em-

Eut

ire may be creditable to his humanity, it cannot add anything to his military renown. When a battle is begun it is a safe rule to push things with desperation until it is gained but this rule Gen. O'Neill appears not to have appreciated.

But while his men were recuperating their strength at a safe distance from the enemy, why should Gen. O'Neill deem' it necessary to return to Vermont?' And why, having returned to that noble State should he walk into precisely the house where the Marshal and his deputy were waiting for him? And why, entering that house, should he make his way into the very parlor where those hostile officers were And after they had rejected his courteous salutation with an insult, and declared him in arrest, why did he not heroically defend himself, as he had threatened to do Why did he not call his men, who must have been within reach of his voice? Why did he allow himself to be tumbled into a hack and driven off to St. Albans jail, without even giving a yell, or offering any other resistance whatever? We must confess that the suspicion of bad faith on the part of Gen. O'Neill, which these events and actions have produced, is not altogether unreasonable and that unless he clearly disprove and set aside the imputation which they seem to establish against his courage and his good faith, he will remain one of the most unenviable Fenians in the world. iTj

From the New York Sun.'

Gen. O'Neill's attack upon Canada has come to a sudden and an inglorious end. The preparations were extensive the early stages of the movement were judicious large forces were in the field or near it, and reinforcements were flocking to the frontier from* very quarter arms and ammunition were also at hand in abundance. Of the other invading columns we hear that the one under Gen. Gleason at Trout river is still advancing upon the enemy, but the demonstration under O'Neiil at Franklin appears to have entirely collapsed through his arrest by Mr. George Foster, tlieU. S. Marshal of Vermont. It is true that the Fenians who had crossed at Franklin remained in Canada for some time after their commander had been taken from them, and that the squads on their way to the scene of action pressed eagerly forward. But all was in vain. After the commanding general was gone the campaign in that quarter naturally aiid ingloriously came to an end. At the latest advices the total number of killed and wounded on both sides was six.
