HEWITT A\D HOAR AT LOGGER
HEADS.
The Solons at Washington in a Fer
ment—What Some of Them Think of
Each Other—An Angry Washing of
Dirty Linen.
[Baltimore Gazette Report.)
MR. HEWITT’s SPEECH.
Mr. Hewitt, with great vigor, again
‘returned to the charge which he had
made on Saturday against the good
fait- of Mr. Hoar, of Massachusetts,
for acting and voiitig in the Electoral
Commission at variance with his speech
in the House, and said that that gen
tleman, in his attempt to answer the
charge on Saturday, had seized the
mantle of Webster, an i tiied (revers
ing the usual process) to eke out the
fox's skin with the lion’s hide. But
even the mantle of Webster was not
broad enough to cover defection, mis
representation and fraud. He cited
the various propositions and votes in
the Commission, showing that Mi.
Hoar had uniformly voted against the
admission of evidence to show fraud
on the part of the Louisiana Return
ing Board, and he asked whether that,
quoting Hoar’s words, was “justice
and righteousness.” He (Hoar) had
voted in the Louisiana case that
the Commission had no judiiial
pbwer, and in the case of Ore
gon he voted that the Commission had
power to take evideuce that the seal of.
the State was or was not the authentic
seal, and as to whether Walts held a
A mmission from the United States.
Bu? where there was an allegation of
fraud, then he had voted that there
was no power to prevent that fraud.
That gentleman had been, on all occa
-sions, the great champion of justice
and righteousness. His magnificent
peroration in the Belknap impeach
ment case would long be read by the
American youth, and yet that same
gentleman had voted not to receive
evidence of fraud. In conclusion, he
said : I ask my Democratic ftiends—
deceived, defrauded, cheated as they
have been—whether we should meet
bad faith with bad faith. I answer
that never ought the record of the
Democratic party to be sullied by a
single act that will make any man
blush. I went on that committee
against my will. I knew whatever I
, did on that committee would be sub
ject to misconstruction. But when I
took my place there I ceased to be
a partisan. I tried to become a
patriot. I tried to perfect a measure
of justice, conciliation and peace for
the suffering people of this country.
We perfected it; we brought it here. It
has been approved by Congress and by
the country, and now shall we stop in
this career toward the solution of the
greatest problem ever presented to a
-frge people because we have been met
with fraud and injustice on the other
aide '? I say no. Let us give to the
people of the country and of the world
an example that, having-been cheated,
we can still trust in the providence and
justice of God. and in the determina
tion ■ f the people to do justice iu the
end. [Applause and commotion.) We
-have still a free 1 all t-1 jx and a
press, and we are stiii a free people, j
an<4 no j.istificaiion for revolution, no
’ justification for civil war, can ever
arise among a free people until they
are deprived of the remedy of the bal
lot-box.
Mr. O’Brien, (Democrat) of Maryland i
—How idng will you be free if Mr.
Hayes goes in ?
Mr. Heiritt—(not noticing the inter- j
ruption) To that remedy I propose tu |
resort, aud if that remedy be found in
vain, although lam the humblest of
Demoerats and the most feeble of citi-1
zens, I will be ready to take up my j
arms and lead, if necessary, or rather
serve, iu the crusade against injustice,
oppression and tyranny.
[While Mr. Hewitt was speaking be,
was surrounded by a circie of members
of both political parties, and the evi ■
denees of increasing excitement and j
commotion were manifest in the circle j
and all over the hall, and in the gal
leries. as he finished.]
Mr. Cate, (Dem.) of Wisconsin, made
his way througn the circle, and ad
dressing Mr. Hewitt in un -xcited
BMnoer, nald: “X i but prot to
the uc i o f the Cominiai; .. : l

Mr. Hewitt—l say that I will yield to !
it, because I see no other course left
but anarchy.
Mr. Cate—l deny it, and I assert
t it is the duty of Democrats to op
pose it by every means iu their power,
it would be cowardice to do otherwise i
[Great excitement and confusion 1
Mr. Yeates (Bern.), of North Caro, i
Una, forced his way through the circle, I
and with flushed face and excited man
tier, addressing himself to Cate and the •
Democrats vvho were opposing acqui
! est; ence: “Those who denounce us 1
j 59 w as cowards, when the pinch came I
I turned against us.”
Ibe excitment had grown so intense j
at this time, reviving recollections of i
the scenes in the House imraedia'ely j
before the rebellion, that the Speaker
i«dt called upon to interpose and to in-
I slot upon the testoration of order.
When he had succeeded the debate
went on more quietly.
H )AR REPLIES TO HEWITT,
Mr. Hoar (rep.) of Massachusetts,
who was not in the hail when Mr.
Hewitt made his speech, but who had
had the notes of it read to him by the
j official reporter, replied to it as a pos
; thumous speech, prepared during the
j Sabbath. He asserted that Mr. Hewitt
bao had the fullest means of knowledge
j by three days’ companionship with him
|on the E.ectoral committee that the
i right to go into the ascertainment o{
the facts as to who had been lawfully
< * cted was utterly denied. It' that gen
tlemtu were a gentleman with ordinary
. intelligence, it was utterly incredible
I that he “should have understood the
; matter as he now professed to under
[stand it. This leader of a great
! parry, entrusted with its interests
! and its leadership, what did he
| now say ? That, iu opposition to
even puniio utterance and assurance
that came fjyom the Republbatt si it
I he had .gale into the matter, be
• cause had got the assur
ance of some scoundrel unit it would
come out all righu He (Mr. Hoar)
wanted no other evideuce of the utt. r
delusion and folly that had prompted
the charge against him than that g,-u
tleman (Mr. Hewitt) had him-sets fur
; nisited. _ Prophecy was nor oue of the
| txact s ieuees, but he (Mr. Huai) would
! venture the prophecy that there would
j not be an event in the history < f the
country which would be in the future
more gratifying to the American peo
ple than the constitutional assertion of
the limit between State and National
author! y which the Electoral Commis
sion hud made. If the Democratic par
ty. under the excitement of to-day, in
flamed with the eager passion for pow
er, disapproved and condemned it, he
would “appeal from Philip drunk to
Philip sober.” He would appeal from
the party maddened, excited, drunk iu
the present, to its future and to its
past [Applause on the Republican
side.]

A Summary of the Decisive Vote.
On Thursday last, Hon. J. Pioctor
Knott, of Kentucky, offered iu the
House of Representatives the following
amendment to a pending resolution,
which, if adopted, would iu all proba
bility have defeated the count:

dent of the Senate to open such pack
age in the presence of the two Houses,
aud that until such order be made the
House will not be ready to meet the

As the vote progressed on the reso

He entered thiAH.unmau bath house

cal for iiis sag < bush victim. It was so
tu tbs case, and i* was with a fort bod
iug of n > good that our fat Mend en
tered the lair of the enemy and asked
I for a gen,due Turkish bath. The bus

Adoi.is, but really to mike more octu
ple e ids fiendish work of steam assas
sination, departed But five minutes
had elapsed by tue clock, yet it was a
year of apprehensive patience to the
sweating, fuming Nevadian. He knew
J that the di.or was locked against cs-
I I ape, and his pa pit a ting heart knocked
\ two ribs cut <>i piece as lie almost
wildly rappee! at the door and called
the villainous superintendent of Turk
ish suds. That individual lazily came,
and with a hop*'critical suavity of man
ner coolly inqtiii ed what In* wanted.
| D.ves ou>e as to and old man Ldzints for
a drink of ice wate, aud it was iu the
same spirit of agouy that our belong
ured Nevada hero pleaded with Ms
persecutor.
“I am suffocating, my genial friend.
Something is certaily wrong with the
bath; it’s hot, red hot ! Please let me
out a moment to breathe.”
"Pshaw ! you’re frightened for noth
ing; take your hath, everything is
right!—you’ o irom Nevada, erenT
i you?” und the scoundii-1 left,. Five
j minutes—rive years to the gradually
parboiling victim - tediously rolling
1 around. Now and then a hair dropped
out of the sufferer’s head aud went
tue' floor, while a river of
sweat poured down his fat legs—he
was surely but slowly growing bald;
he knew it; there was a damnable con
spiracy against him, so he thought,
| and lie staggered to the door and y< ll
|ed lustily for the police. The supeno
i tendent once more came, and there was
a diabolical gleam in his sinister eyes
as he whispered through the key-hole:
“What the devil do you want now !’’
“I want to get out or this, you ruf

He was gone again, aud the sweat
went on. A man will suffer for the
fame of his name sometimes, and tha*
victim's name was Jones. One—two—
three—four five minutes more, and
then there came a quiet, ordetly rap
from the inside.
“Well, well, sir! what’s the trouble
now ’—want to get out again, I s’pose,”
said the superintendent, turning on his
heel to go again.
“No, oh, no ! But did you say this
infernal oven was built by J. I’. Jones,

“Yes, sir; yes, sir—but what in thun

ENGLAND'S COTTON' TRADE
A Giant Monopoly Fast Witlteriuc
Away Before American Competition
[lamdoudun Cot rcs(KmiU ttl N. Y. World ; I
Although you will know all about the
opeuing of Parliament before this let
ter reaches you, it is very uulikely that
anything will have happened to clear
away the confusion which at. present
surrouuds both political parties. Sel
dom has a session opened amid so
much doubt and misgiving on either
! - s Me. Matty members of the oppost-
I tiou are, of course, eager to attack the
Ministry-but upon what ground?
j The answer seems simple-the
| Eastern question. I do not mysil
j believe that there is so much to he
made on* of that as many people try
|to persuade themselves, i think you
j "’fil fl ,J d that the public generally hiv
not dissatisfied with tue acts of the
Government, although they may not
approve of the words of some tnetn*
bets of it. After alt, wbut was there
| Tor England to do? Canon Liddon
and bis clique says that she ought to
have j- 'hie . with Russia in expelling
the Turks from Europe. Hut I have
not myself come across anybody
who holds that opinion, or who,scene
| to think it at alldtsiral h> that England
! should pltiugo iuto an uiuu oosscry and
j sentimental war. A Ministry wit ch
l had allowed tit,, country to drift into
wm, would have been swept away in n
st, ttu of popular passion.
A cation may have groat resources
ieit within it, but it is scarcely fitted to
enter into a life and de. Ui struggle
with «foreign power at the moment
when as trade is slm st paralysed
And that is the condition of England
at this moment. In all the huge man

the ‘ cotton lords” to day ? They* seem
to have suddenly In come exvinet. The
grem trade upon which they fi mushed
is withering away. The change has
come with startling suddenness, and
no one yet seems to fully realise the
imnt' use couseqnences widen it must,
carry with it. However, no one ap
peu;s to understand what lias brought
the catastrophe to pass. "It eun only
be at* input ary depression,’’ said a
tnanufactuicr front O litmtu to me the
•it her day; “the surplus g,„ ids will lie
cleared ■ IT the marker, amt then trade
witi revive again,” twaaaotrytn dis
c,Milage him by giving hint rm->> i.s for
holding a dificient "pinion.
, Ine e ttou trade, in my opti hvi, is
! passing from England, not teiu.miari
j ly, hut permanently, ami no one who is j
j engage.! in it yet lval ues that fact.
And what has produced the revolution?
I lie great ami i-iiciii ad van* e made ju
cotton manufacture on your side of the
Atlantic, 1 need not tell you that
hitherto England has held practically
a monopoly in this branch ot industry.
Bite rimplied the world, .But now,
wherever a piece of Eugli*' • uton cun
enter a market, another pie,™ of Am* r
tean cotton Is to be seen aide by side
with It—always as good, somethm-s
hotter In quality, aud fotcnr in prw c.
This lust fact was oue for winch 1 was
prepared when I began to make in
quiries into the subj'VT. But a Tact It
is, and it is fatal to the recovery of
English trade.
a Thete is n common, ami yet useful,
kind of cotton goods much use I in
families where there are young chtl- j
dren. It is of American manufacture,]
We tried to get it over here last summer,
hut it was nut generally known. Thej
! goods which ui st nearly approached
it were both coarser ami dearer. Ai
lust we found a sh >j» where it was ittv
pore I from America, and them the
sale for it was mexcasing ev* ry <lay.
People who saw it nt once said, '’lhts
is better than English eottou, ami the
(■rice is lower. Where do you gel it
from?” They were cstotilsh*-*! to hear
thit It, came Irom the mills of New
England.
Here, then, we are beaten and t.nder
sold In our own specialty, aud actually
nt our own doors. I can go across the
road and buy better and cheaper A met
lean than English cotton. In ludla,
also, wc are elbowed out of the field by
the same keen and indefatigable rivals
Who would have believed ten years
ago such things were possible? To be
candid, there are many who do not Ue
j lieve it now. It. Ss an unwelcome phe
j nomenon, an<l they ant dct< rmluc I not
! to see It, or try hard to explain tt away
