Washington, April S.—In the Honse,
the debate on the army appropriation
bill was opened by Mr. Knott, of Ken*
lucky. He spoke of the great and his.
torical importance of the principle in
volved in the qnestion. He characterized
it ss the great fundamental principle of
republican liberty—Uiat tbe ballot-box
should b) protected from the slightest
approach of military power, and that the
voter stiali be left absolutely free in exer
cising at tha polls the bigbeetprerogative
cf a citizen.
Ho quoted tbe English statute of George
II. for tne removal of troops from plaoea
where elections were to be held, and
cited Blackstone as writing that itu es
sential that elections shall be absolutely
free, and that therefore all undue influ
ences are illegal and are prohibited.
He bad expected that anon a question
would bsvo been discussed on tbe other
side with calmness nod dignity; bat In
this he had been grievously disappointed,
particularly in connection with the speech
of tbe gentleman from Maine (Mr. Frye).
That spreeb, while it migtu have been ap
propriate to “the email fry” of hie party
at cross-roads or village barroom*, was un
just to that gentleman's genial and gen
erous nature.

Washington, April 3.—The following
Southern cases were argued in the United
States Supreme Court to-day, all from
the United States Circuit Court for the
District of Louisiana: David N. Barrow,
administrator, vs Logan Hanton; Jacob
McWilliams v* Frank F. Case, receiver,
and John F. Klein vs. the city of New
Orleans. In the last case no connsel ap
peared for the city.
The widow Oliver has already, through
her counsel, moved for a new trial.
Mr. Hauk, of Tennessee, followed.
He was Sonthern born, and sympathized
with that section, bnt he said when the
President had offered peace and concilia
tion, be had been answered .with blood
shed and riot. To-day it was well known
that a majority of tbe Southern States
were Republican, tf an honest eleotion
could be held, and yet ha looked around
him and saw but three Republicans from
the Southern States. He placed his op
position to tbe present measure on tha
broad ground cf its merits. If permit
ted to stand on tbe atatnte broke, there
would be free elections in tbe South, and
Republicans would be returned to Con
gress by the voice of a free people, un
awed by bull-dczers and rifle clubs.
Others might do aa they pleased, bnt
never while he bad a vote on this floor,
wonld be vote to repeal tbo.sestatutes un
til a man iu tbe South, whether white or
black, whether carpet-bagger from the
Noit*>, or scalawag from the South,

the bailut box, (Applause on the Re
publican side ) He was not authorized
to spe»k for the President, but he knew
that ii the President was a good Repub
lican be would veto tbe bill.
Representative Itch-son. ex-Secratary
of tbe Navy, then addressed the House,
te intended to ccnSne himself to tbe
queetion of law involved in the discus
sion.
It is proposed, he eaid. to restrain the
civil officers of the United States. from
keeping the peace at any election in any
State.jBy what means? By civil means, for
the right of the civil officer, the marshal
of the district, if you please, to summon
the gone eomilatus, is a right to summon
the ordinary military compani 8 that may
be within the body of bis bailiwick. The
right th summon armed troops if they be
within tbe body of the bailiwick, is a
civil, not a military right, and is in the
interest of the inviolability and tbe
strength of the civil law There was con
siderable controversy between the Spea
ker and Mr. McLine, of Maryland, os to
whether there had ever been any ra.iog
of the Supreme Conet recognizing the
right of the United States to keep the
peace. Mr. Robeson said he bad never
known that question to arise in that
form, but there* have been rulings of
tbe Supreme Court to the effect that
whenever there wss a power given and
guaranteed or secured by the Constitu
tion of tbe United States, the power re
sided in the United States to enforce and
seenre it. Continuing at consi ierable
length in a legal argument, Mr. Robeson
said: My friend frost Ohio [Mr. Hurd]
has said that it becomes us to look
sharply and keenly as to the use of the
military power, for that by it repuDhc*
have always died. I take issue witn him
there. The last final blow at the liber
ties of republics has oome from the sword,
but it has not teen until some orauch of
the government has -■•nrpsd to itsolf
rights whichTt did not enjoy under the
Constitution and laws of the country. It
hat not bean until some branch of tbe
government — usually tome branch

6titution of the United States. If one
member of this system breaks loose from
those attractions, when the old land
marks are swept away and the old
traditions wipod out, when the * old
safeguards are all broken down, it riots
through the system, an object of terror
and of dismay, and more terrible than
majestic, it beoomes a mighty instrument
cf evil. My friends, (addressing the
Democrats side of the House,) it is from
the discupted system of the government,
that military power arises. It is in tha
confnaion of disorder, the lack of right to
be executed by the civil officer* of the
law, it is within the smoke of suoh a con
test that the “man on horseback'’ rides
in and liberty ia gain tided to order. 8o
long as the'Civil process r f fid "law-Asy
be properly executed -by the civil officers
in this country, there m no danger At mil
itary ^power. , The strong arm, the t olear
heads, the brave hearts of our people,
north and south, 'would'never yield to a
standing army, were ifca million strong,
unless it . became absolutely necessary,
under the preseuoa of usurped aad arbi
trary power of some Irresponsible man-'
her of the system, to sacrifice liberty to
order. That time will saver ooaae in this
oountry unless yon* my friends, disregard
the plain Mantling-qUititory.
Mr. Blackburn, of Kentucky,. was the
next speaker. He premised bis speech
with the hope that he would in no way
depart from the plane of fairness in tbe
debate; thataeatteranoe’of his would
give call to tbe oharge Jhst any eeotional
question was involved in the issue under
consideration. Nobody' had been Bar-
prised at the gentleman from New Jer-'
sey (Mr. Sobssoo.) Tbe performance
wonld not bave been complete, wonld not
have been fairly rounded out, unless
some member of tbe privy oouacil of
that imperialistic dynasty,- under
tyrannioal ' administration
the very vicious practioe had grown
np to what it war, now sought (o repeal;
nad testified on the floor in its ' behalf;
it had been argued by various gentlemen
on the other eide that this repeal was
revolutionary in its character; that it had
no place upon an appropriation bill; tbat
it was out of line and should be consider
ed os an independent proposition. He
was bnt a poor student of his country’s
history who was not able to satisfy him
self that from the foundation of tbe con
stitution down to the prssent lime, it had
ever been held and that by the highest
authorities in the land that it was in the
power of the House to control tho em
ployment of tha army by the withhold
ing of its supplies. In the very nature of
things tbe proposed repeal could not bo
revolutionary. Negative': legislation was
never revolutionary. Affirmative legis
lation might be, but not negative legis
lation. There was no one who would
assert that previous to I860 the Execn-
live had held the power of which this
oill proposed to deprive him. The Con
stitution did not give the right to the
President to eecd armed forces into any
State, even to suppress domestic violence.
By no means. It required the President
to protect every State from invasion, but
only conferred upon him the right to
send soldiers to that 8tate to suppress
domestic violence when the Legislature
of tbat State or tbe Governor should
make a requisition upon him. He was
not permitted to anticipate domestic
violence, neither he or the Legislature,
nor the Governor. Domestic vio
lence must have been in ex
i tence, and that fact must have
oeen oeitifisd to him by the Legislature.
There was no prerogative whioh the Presi
dent held that was not clearly dtflned and
limited by law, bnt the constitution had
made CongresB, ia express terms, the
great reservoir into whioh all powers of
implication flowed. This bill ooQld not
oomprehend revolution, bnt it wu said
tbat it wbb not in the proper plaoe when
it was engrafted npon an appropriation
bill. If. b* “aid, l-'N-'iras were to he read
to the Democrats, let them oome from
some quarter aud eom* members not
convicted on tbe reoord. The gentleman
from Ooio, (Mr. Gsiflsld,) had told the
House tbat this wu an effort, end an un
manly effor*, to starve the government to
death, and bad oontraated It with what he
termed the bolder and braver notion of
oertain members of Congress in-1861,
who bed left their seats and had oar-
ried tbeir issue to the field of
oarnage. That gentleman said tbat tbis
was revolution, and bad decried the ef
fort s which tbe Democrats were making
to adopt it. Far bettor weald tt have
been for the ^.-ople of tbe country if the
power of the gentleman from Onio had
been applied at an earlier period of his
politiaai history in denouncing and oppos
ing revolutionary legislation. Did the
gentleman remen her the reoord that he
had made in 1863, in an amendment of
fered by Mr. Wilson, of Iowa, to an ap
propriation bill, proposing to revolution-
,Z3 tbe jadioial system of tbe ootmiry,
proposing to rob a co-ordinate branoh of
the Government; proposing to strip ihe
Saprems Oonit of the prerogatives and
the powers tbat the Federal Constitution
nad clothed it with ? That amendment
had provided that if any circuit or dis
trict court should declare any act ef Con-
gresv to be unconstitutional the judg
ment should bo carried up to the Supreme
Conrt, and if two-thirds of the members
of tbat oourt should not affirm the judg
ment, the aame should be held reversed
on the call of teas and nays. The gen
tleman from Onio is found voting yi
The Supreme Court at that time had con
sisted of eight members and by that
amendment six were required to over
rule the opinion of a distrioi court declar
ing unconstitutional any of the ill-advised
hasty, crude and partisan measures of
the Renublican revolution What was
there that the party the gentloman so
ably led, had cot done in that catalogue
of crimee? In his speech of Saturday,
the gentleman from Ohio had challenged
all comera to eho w a single inetanoe in the
history of tho country where the eossent
of the executive had ever been coerced.
He (Blackburn) accepted the gage of
battle which tbe gentleman had thrown
down. He would reed from the record
and show him an iaatanoe on the 2nd
of March, 1867. where Andrew Johnson
baa signed an army appropriation t ill
under protest, reeling, as he eaid, con-
strained to return the bill with his signa
ture, bat ocoompanying it with his -pro-
teat. Was there no coercion there?
Why the reoord was fall of iwtencep.
He found thet in tie 8»th Congress
that bad occurred, which would never
fade from the minds of the American
people. He referred to the effort which
was made and which earns so nig a re
sulting in the enooesefat impeachment of
the chief executive of tho oountry.
The executive had been impeached
of high crimes and misdemeanors and
of usurpation, *! violation of law, fire',
in that he has eorrnptly need the
appointing power. Bad <be gentleman
from Ohio ln'ended to impeaoh him tor
that? Tne gentLmia knew that he had
not. Secondly—In tbat be has orroptly

tletfad intended to impeaoh him for thei?
Everybody jtnew he bad not. Thirdly—

mal count iu the indictment. Fifthly—

and voted Mr. Hayes, of the same State
[Applause on tbe Democratic eide and
in the galleries.] And now, by what sort
of authority has ths gentleman 1 from
Onio oome to threaten the House with a
probable and possible aotiou of ths Exec
utive? What provision of the Federal
Constitution undertook to oloihe any
body, either the President himself or one
of hie privy ooaao-.l, even including the
premier, tbe Ssoretiry of State, to sit as
he had done on the floor of tbe House
last 8dtcrday, and by his presence and
approval seem to intimidete, overawe and
browbeat the Amerioan Congress? [De-
xitive laughter on the Republican side ]
Wno bad commissioned tbe gentleman
from Ohio to tell the House that it bad
better be careful, because the issue was
and the President would not be 00-
erced in o a message of approval ? Did
tbe gentleman from Ohio or any other
gentleman pat saoh a low estimate on
the self respect, the integrity,
the coarsgs end the manhood of tbe
House, without regard to party, as to be
lieve that such a threat so flaunted wee to
intimidate toe lawmaking branoh of the
government and shape its souon or meas
ures of legislation. He proceeded to quote
from Mr. Garfield’s speeoti to the effeot
that no petition had been presented to
Congress for the proposed repeal.. Did
the gentleman mean to stand by tbat
declaration? Did he not know that the
Congress just expired bore npon its files
petition after petition in contested elec
tion oases, protesting against the l preeenee
or the military at the polls, denouncing
tte usurpation and demanding the repeal
of this law? Did ha fell to remember
that the Scats ot Louisiana, a sovereign
State, bad sect ber memorial, in whioh,
in thunder tonea, she anathematized the
present law? But the genii am sn went far
ther end, if possible, did -worse It is
generally true that the grave silenced the
tongas of detraction, but the gentleman
from Ohio, forgetting tiimself la hia
speech, forgot also to observe that role.
Continuing, he said: Let one take the
darkest pages of his country’s history for
the list fourteen long years and read it
carefully, and tc-lt mo then whotber it
lies iu tbe mouth of this leader of a ones
great, but now waning party, to read lec
tures to anybody, either on the sjore of
revolutionary legislation or the extrane
ous introduction of legislation on appro
priation bills. Better far, in the face of
the record which they have made—bstter
to listen patiently to the oonfiimed ine
briate as he deals on tbe virtues of tem
perance ; or, better let the queen of the
dtmi monde elaborate tbe beauties of fe
male virtue, or let the d.vil prate of tbe
scheme of universal redemption, than
for homilies on good morals and lectures
on revolutionary legislation to be deliv
ered from such a source. [Applause on
the Democratic side.]
Having read tbe not of Georgs II, hs
continued: “From tbet day till now I do
deolare that it i* not witb'n the power of
say man to find ths soion of tbe Saxon
ratio that ha* not ever held in niter con
tempt the effort of bim or them who
sought to control tbe freedom of tbe bxl-
lot by the employment of military power.
[Applause on tbe Democratio sid9.] The
very army of this country protest against
such a prostitution of it. I see before
me the distinguished General-in-chief of
the Americtn army, (General Sherman
as occupying Mr. Garfield’s seat) and I
do not believe that I over-state the
fact when I eay, from him down
to the lowest subaltern, it is difficult to
find a commissioned officer who has not
repugnance for the service, which, under
this prostitution oTthe army, ho has been
called on to perform. Ii is this question,
tbat is before us. We are declaring thai
tbe ballot shall be free; we are denying
that it i* either constitutional, legal, just,
fair or decent to subject the sovereign to
the surveillance of tho servant. Wears
willing to discnss tne question, and, for
my part, I shall oppose any limitation to
be put on this discussion. If we cannot
stand on an lesue so broad, eo constitu
tional, so catholic, bo free and so fair as
this, then tell me in heaven’s name wbat
earthly battlements are strong enough to
get behind. For the first time in eigh
teen years, the Democracy is back in
power in both branches of Cougres*. We
propose to celebrate h*-r return to power
by wiping from the striate book those
degrading resotatioai on frsemen, and by
striking away the shackles which partiaen
legislation hsi imposed. We do uo> in
tend to stop nntil we bave stricken the
last ve-tige of your war mea*ores from

I ask whether I may not be warranted
and justified in employing equal candor,
and in assuring tbat gentleman and bis
associates that the dominant power in
this Congress, the ruling element in this
body, ia also equally determined that,

laws human and divine, protected and

Washington; April 3.—The debate in
the House to day fully preserved the
prestige communicated to it by the open-
mjr speech of Garfield.
Knoct was epigrammatic, and sparkling
with Shakeeperian gems, bnt aroused no
enthusiasm on his own, or ill-feeling on
the other side of the Honse. Mr. Hauk
rather astonished both sides by the ve-
hemenoe with which he stood fey r . his
party colors. Robeson xn hia maiden
speech made a favorable impression botn
as to matter and manner. ,ci-
Blackburn made one of his fiery de
clarations, accepting for the Democracy
all the responsibility of having thrown
down the gage of battle, and olaiming for
that party, its full share of virtue, valor,
patriotism and love of liberty, which
ought to oharaotize American , character.
The applause whioh greeted him was
very hearty, and the congratulations
whioh he received on resuming hi* seat,
showed how thorougly his sentiments
were shared by the men of his own party.

That remarkable cavo turned out to
be jast as we predicted yesterday, a first
class April fool.
Our contemporary makes an earnest
attempt, however, to prove that his fib
was not exactly made out of whole cloth,
aa there was at least a “gully” to show
for it. But let him tell his own story:
Those who visited the spot did find a
cove, not however, of the kind they an
ticipated seeing. Yet a careful reading
of the article of yesterday will disclose
the fact that there was more truth than
fiction to be found in the details.
Anybody who has ever been on the
south commons knows full well that there
is an immense wash-out or gully looated
just below*tHe hospital. It is exactly as
the article of yesterday described it;
huge enough to hold a large building,
ha* a sand and gravel bottom, perpendic
ular walls, bones in abundance in its con
fines, and contains a great deal of trash
from the ntreets,among which willbe found
broken pieces of chinaware and old jugs.
The bones are accumulations from dead
animal* hauled there in the city carts.
Buzzards ara to be found in numbers al
ways hovering about if. These are

be remembered that nothing was said

it was not onoe oslted a cavern. The cave
therefore is a reality. Indeed, it is a

carcasses it is a convenience, especially
aa it is iu such dose proximity to tbe

week The Colonel was expecting one
portion of his party at Bt. Marks from
their survey aoross the oonntry from tbe
8awanu?e.~Atr present they seemed in
clined to toe route from the Atlantic np
Si. Mary’s river to some point in the vi
cinity of Trader’s Bill, thence across th*
npper portion of Colombia ootinty passing
through Hamilton and connect leg with
tbe Alapaha, near ils entrance into the
Suwannee, continuing down ihe Suwan
nee some twenty-five or thirty miles, and
then turning westward through tbe upper
portion of Lafayette—passing oentrslly
through Taylor and the southern portion
of Jefferson to the St. Marks river, at or
near the old town of St. Marks.
Tbe water for the canal from Trader’?
Hill or vicinity to tfte Alapaha. ?s ex-
peoted to be supplied from the Oktafe-
noo ee swamp. This swamp wis par
tially anrreytd a month or two ago, and
promised an abundant supply of water.
The weather, however beiagso cold, and
the exposure while wading being hazard-
on* to tha health ot the party, only » p*r-
tial survey was mads. It will be renewed,
however, sb Abe warm trim approaches
with the onnfident hope that sn abundant
snpply oF water will be found.

FOR THE CURE OF
Hepatitis, or Livor Oompla&t,

red-9 vtoU-t • ’
Symptom of a Ciieawd Xdvtr.
in the right side, under the
_ edge of the ribs, increases on pres-
nrc; sometimes the pain is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the. left sidn; sometimes the pain
is fvrit under the shoulder blado* and
it frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is’ sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arin. The stom
ach is affected with loss of appetite
and sickness; the bowels m general
are costive, sometimes alternative with
hi.i; the head is troubled with peiin,
flcwnnpanied with a dull, heavy sen-
antics m the bacltpart. There is gen-
ttcUpra considerable loss of memory,
accompanied with a painful sensation
of having left undone something which
eight to Live been done. A slight,
dry cough is sometimes an attendant.
The pr.tient. complains of weariness
and debility; he is easily startled, his
feet arc cold or burning, and he com
plains of a prickly sensation of the
skin; his spirits are low; and although
he is satisfied that exercise would be
beneficial to. him, yet he can scarcely
suiuinpn up fortitude enough to try it.
In fact, hs distrusts every remedy.
Several of the above symptoms attend
the disease, but cases have occurred
where few of them existed, yet ’exam-
ination of the body, after death, has
shown the liver to hare been exten-
sivelv deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
Dr. C. McI^se’s Liver Pxia?. in
cases of Ague and Fever, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can oe used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
*dvise all who are afflicted with this
disease to girt them a V'AJR trial.
For all bilifiHS derangements, and
as a simple purgative^ they are un-
equated.
