Di-bate In the Senate.
HPKKCI1 OK Mit. II AYA HD.
On Monday, the Senate resinned the
consideration of the Army Appropriation
bill.
Mr. Bayard, (dein.) of Del., said the
bill b tore the Senate approbated in
round numbers $27,000,000. The con
st!* u* ion expressly provided that no ap
propriation for the army should be made
for a longer period than two ye «rs, so
that the existing military establishment
was made dependent only on the consent
Congress. It was shown by iheNena
tor Iroin Pennsylvania (Mr. Wallace)
last week that prior to 1874 more than
two-thirds of the legislation relating to
the army was placed ou appropriation
j bills. And so it was with regard to the
Indian service, in which large sums are
I annually expended. Therefore It was
fool sh and inconsistent to raise the cry
of 'r* volutioiiary," because the present
- Congres « were only following usage in
1 such cases by attaching legislation to ap
popria ion bills—a cry raised to alarm
the coun t y because of the incorporation
in tin* pending bill of a section, entirely
j german-', reguluing l he uses of the army.
Bu be uiJ not believe the American
people were in a humor to seek tor un
r-al ies. They would resent all such
b illow aud unsubstantial alarms. He
bedeved that the attacks on the legi la
lion p <»posed would recoil upon those
who made them.
I

Congress was expressly invested with
the power to daclare w«r, l-*vy suppli
and rain« armies, thus having absolute
regtilaiioti and control over tbem. The
President, as head of the executi
] branch of the government and
inander-in-chief of the army aud uav.v,
cau do uothing to direct or interfere with
anv of the powers of Congre-s over this
subject. It was for the safety of the peo
pie that the framers of the constitution
pi iced the power to raise armies and
regulate their u^e in hands different from
those who were to «se tbem. Election
day »-as the day of freedom. It was the
day of days. If a man was not free on
ihat day he should b« a slave for the
other days of his life.
Mr. Bayard then referred to English
history to show how jealous the people of
that country were of their liberties--no
troops bsing permitted at the polls, aud
thu* it should be in this couutiy, especial
ly a-* ours is an electire government. He
repeated that ihere must in» a two I ute free
dom iu elections, ami read f rom Daniel

m*-D to suppoit bi
stro w the danger from the pre-euco of the
milfarv at th- polls, as tue freedom ef
elec ions aud the u-e ol the army could
net exist t geth. r.
M r. Bayard having noticed a remark of
Mr. B'aine, of Mai..e, about the distribu
tion of the army, Mr. Blame asked the
Senator to quo'e his words.
Mr. Hatard said he would do so. but
would have to send for the <Jonyrtsiionml
Record.
Mr. Blaine, (rep.) of Me., remarked
what he theretofore said was this
"That not a Senator of the other side of
the chamber had ever seen a United
Males soldier at the polls."
Mr. Hijard replied that If the Senator
prefeired to lirait bis remaries to the ac
tual vlfioo of Senators he bad nothing to
ii views and to
Mr. Blame said his cenfidenoe in that
H'atemrnt had not beeu duturbed by the
remarks which had been made on the
other side.

Mr. Bayard then proceeded to read a
circum-tantial account of the large pras

tion of alighting upon the shoulders of a
companion, wh
shoulders of th** third bro'her, the latter
brauing himself firmly to withstand this
tremeuduus hi rain upon lits physical
powers. This first attempt, however,
was disastrous, as the (tarins vaulter
missed bis mark and fell heavily to the
ground, where he lay for full half a
ute, as though completely stunned,
an instant the audience arose in confu
sion, but the excitement was instautly al
layed, by seeing the fallen athlete, on be
ing asdsted to his feet, nimbly climb the
ladder for a secon i at'eiupt. A second
time ha missed, but alighted on bis feet,
and sustained no further injury. With
surprising nerve he mounted the ladder
for a third attempt, and this time
ceeded in alighting firmly on the shoul
ders of his companion, while the tent
fairly rung with the applause of the sym
pathizing and appreciative audience.
After a few rapid evolutions around
the ring the performers retired, but aa
they walked towards the dres-ing tent it
was noticed that the one who ha I fallen
staggered and rubbed his herd, as though
he was beginning to seriously feel the
effects of bis heavy drop.
The menagerie attached to the circus,
though small, was very select, and was
a source of pleâsure to all who viewed it.
Among the specialties were hjx beautiful
tiger cubs,
greeu eyes, looking exactly like over
grown est**, and to all appearances just
harmless. A pair of gorgeously-spot
ted leopards also came in for a large
share of * tentlon.

were liglwed, wan ihe greatest curiosity

trating to every part of the tent, though
it dazzled ones eyes to look directly at
the lights, except in the circus arena,
where they were surrouuded by glass
globes.
On the whole the entire show was
very entertaining and all who attended
felt they had received the full worth of

of 1874, when the political tide began to :

became Democratic. Wb.v was i> that
instead of falling oft that demand in
creased when successive State ejections
had made it clear that the control of the

mocratic hands? And why is it that
there has never been such a demand for
our Federal4 per ceuts as there is now j
while the Democrats in Congress
insisting on a ensures which all Demo- I
crats regard as e<sential to the perma
neuce of our institutions, aud which all
Stalwart Republicans pretend to regard
as portent* of» new civil war?
We shall be glad to bear what the
wire-pullers and the pipe-lavers have to

Meanwhile it will doubtless occur tosen
sible people ihat the business men and
the investors of the United States cau
hardly look upon the Democratic ma
jority in Congress as made up of "un.
tamed" desperadoes. Perhaps such men
have not yet forgotten the part which
Democratic, leader-« played in the great
crisis of 1878. Perhaps, too, such iuen
may be capable of recognizing the diff
ereuees between speeches like that of
Mr. Carlisle which we publish to-day
the great Issues now debating i u Cong
It might be well for the wi

steadily iucrea-ed ever since the autum
less
an f the wild tomtom heating of party
journals over those issues.
t.Wken Mr. Tiiilen auuounces himself
as the coining avenger of the frauds of
1878 and the managers of General Graut
ge» up Rocky Mountain processions to
wsUome him home as the saviour ofso-j
ciety, the country ought to be convulsed |
and its credit ought to decline. If the I
country refuses to be convulsed and its
cred.t does not decline, it would seem to
be tolerably clear that avenger is no irn- ,
patiently expected aud that no consider- i
sole number of the people adequately 1
appreciate the imminence of the perils
from which the savior of society is to
rescue t hem. This is so ver\ obvious
that people who will insist on looking at
Amerirau a ft air* tlnongh the eyes of the
politicians alone are at their wit's ends
to explain the large subscriptions made
to the new Federal 4 per ceut. loan.
The Greenbackurs iusi t that there is
not currency enough; the bard-money
, who would banish all legal-teuder
paper, have another exnlauatioti;
backers of Mr. Shermans P esidrn ial
aspirations have still a third; yet the
prac ical explanation is not tar to seek.
People subscribe to the new ioau in the
first place because the credit of the na
tion in good, and in the secoi d place be- 1
cause the bonds are not taxabl- , and in
tbo third place because the bouds are a
basis of national banking aud a safe in
vestment for trustees and savings bauks.
To say that holders of the 6 per ceats
have merely exchanged them for the
new 4 per cents will not do. The Gov
ernment calls in the 6 per cents and pays
for * hem, and the rtc* iver of ihe money
then docs what he likts to do with it.
Mr. Sherman sells the
hccau pay for the called sixes, and in
the course of this operation the members
of the syndicates, who are trained to
realize great sums by a thirty-second or
sixty-fourth per cent, commission, make
money and are happy.
That there is now a plethora of money
or of circulating medium in the country
is a facf, but this does not necessarily
eom«of"du)l times." There is more
business done in the country by far than
there wasiu 1880. But less circulating
medium iu the shape of money is now
required to transact the gre.iter tbau
was then required to transact the smaller
business. The resources or i he popula
tion of a city or not the only things
which
country requires, nor d*
and the extent of commercial transac
tions alone decide this.
The rapidity with which money and
its representative cau be made to circu
late is an important factor in the prob
lem. A semi civilized or hall'-develupcd
country like Turkey or Mexico bas in I
proportion to its business a greater money |
nee ! than a couutiy like England o< the
United States, the economy of which is
highly developed. Rich
