THE SOU THEM WAR DEBT.
EX-POSTM ASTER GENERAL REAGAN
ON ITS PAYMENT.
Only Enemies of the South Responsible for
the Present Mischievous Agitation-
Fact* Which Answer Fuller
ton's Untenable Theory.
The home rule situation.
VTashinotok, June 27.—Congressman
Reagan, ot Texas, the former Postmaster-
General of the Contoieracy says the recent
argument ol Judge Fullerton in favor of pay-
iug the Confederate wur'debt ia being made
the constant subject of misrepresentation
upon the part of the enemies of the South,
lie aaya that there is hardly n mail in which
he does not leceive papers with marked ar
ticles in which the Democracy ia pic
tured as advocating the payment of the Con
federate war debt. This evening, in speak
ing of the possible use of this argument iu
the coming campeigo, Judge Reagan sab':
‘•The argument of Judge Wm. Fnlle' od,
of New York city, made before tho commit
tee on war claims of the Hon e of Repre
sentatives recently and prii led end now
being circulated, which has for i t object
to show that the government of ‘ e United
St'.tea, by the adoption of the fourth sec
tion article 14 of the cras 1 'tuUon of the
United S'-.les, providing that ‘ neither the
United States nor any S. ale shall rssume or
pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid
of the insurrection or rebel'ion against the
United States, or any claim for the loas or
emancipation of any slavos; bat that a' 1
such debts, oblrgaliors end cla'ros
shall bs illegal rid void,' bad
thereby made itself liable to pay tho
.debts of the Confederacy, is attracting a
good deal of attention i n some p.'rts of the
country, and without tho possibility of
doing aDy good to any ooe is calculated to
produce, and is producing, a hurtful effect
on tho publie mind. It is mischievous,
and mischievous only, in its effect Judge
Fullerton's assumption Ibat because tire
Unit'd Sut s forbade the States paying this
debt.the y msde'theinselves liable for the
damages resulting from this constitution! 1
provision is so clearly without the support
of any recognized legal ptinciple that it iaa
matter of surprise that any lawyer shoo'd
have suggested it
“When the Confederate governn- it
ceased to exist, all its tights, powers, du *r
end obligations ceased with it, and the'«
was no legal obligation on the pal. of any
of the States which composed the Confed
eracy to pay its bebta. The only basis for
the view taken by Judge Fuller in is tbs.
it was possible for these States to have rs-
sumed a moral resporsibility for the Co •
federal a debit. Rut they had not doi e to
when the United Ststes|took action on this
subject, and that tact answers ai d nega
tives Judge Function's theory. His
proposition is not only ’absu.tl
but positively harmful It may
stlmulat] hope in the holders of tho evi
dences of tho Confederate debt which c i
never be realized. It may a<‘mnlate vicious
speculation in there securities. It is caus
ing certain partisan Ilepnb'ican papers to
claim that tho citizens of tho Southern
States aro putting forward, this scheme
which is wholly nntrue. It Is manifest th;l
this claim is not put forwtrd in the'.r inte
nt, while it is equally manifest that tho
itation of the question is ca'calated to stim
ulate and promote prejudice aga'oat them.
As far as I know and be"eve ho'df r* have

LIGHT SUMMER RAIMENT.
WliBt the Young Women Wear In Traveling

From the Ntw York Commsrclal-Ad tertian.
Dresses for traveling, yachting and for
souside wear this season are notable for
their artirtio fit and workmanship and for
the sensible arrangement of drapery. T 1 e
adoption of foil, straight draperies, inst- -d
of thoso much bunched, commend* itself to
all who delight in tho eternal fitness of
thing*. This style is always in order,
never looks crashed, and, no matter how
long or dusty a journey may be, a slight
brushing will restore the dress to its pris
tine condition. The sensible long travu'ing

The Outlook for '‘The Grand Old Man"
Anything Bat Hopeful.
From the Baltimore Suit.
From the analysis of the vote on tho sec
ond reading of the home rale bill it ap
pears that the majority against the bill
made up 250 Conservatives and 93 Liberals,
and the minority voting aye of 228 Liberals
nnd 85 Nationalist. The House contains
332 Liberals, 252 Conservatives and 80 Na
tions i.sts. Of tho members not voting one
was a Nationalist, two were Conservatives
and eleven were Liberals. Of tho Liberals
not voting seven hod declared themselves
opposed to the bill, one was sick, another
was the speaker and the views of the other
not stated. Iu other words, of the 332
Liberals at least 100 are on tho record as
opposed to the meosure. Of the Tories
who did not vote one was ill and
the other, Sir Robert Feel
wri in favor of the bill. No
explanation has, so far as we know, been
given of the action of Captain O'Shea, the
Nationalist member for Galway, in declin
ing to vote for the second reading. Of the
1UU bolting Liberals sixty-eight sat for Fq.
glish, eight for Welsh and twenty-four for
Scotch constituencies. Mr. Gladstone hss
wisely addressed himself to, the task of con
vening the Scotch Liberals to the support
o! b's plan, for the defection in Scotlond
was proportionately greater than elsewhere.
The bolters constituted twenty-eight per
cent of all the English Liberals, not quite
tbiity per cent of the Welsh, and more than
thirl -eig-t per cent, of the Scot*". The
dissenting element of the Liberal paity
ii even more remarkable for the great
number of able men and party leaden
which it contains than for its numerical
strength, great ss the latter is. Among
tho o voting with the Tories were no less
than seven privy councillors, ell of whom
hrve once or o.iener held high places in
Libera'J-overnments. Tho aristocratic ele
ment of the Liberal p tty is equally di
vided. There are in Parliament fifiy six
Liberals who are either noblemen's sons,
baronets or kni"hti. Of these twenty-
eight, or ex ctly one half, voted against the
-overnment If these fifty-six be excluded.
• -appears that but 26 per cent of the re
maining Liberal members voted against the
bill, but among them rt to be foard the
names of such rad'oat p ders rt Bright and
Chamberlain. Serious its the tVl-'g I'efee.
t'on 1*, it is easy to suppose a cr'.e in which
it might. in the now democra.ic
constituencies, be almost ns much an
elem-’t of strength os we.kuess
to such a government as that of Mr. Glad
stone in an appeal to the conntry to have
the great preponderan-e of the privileged
classes arrayed against him. But when to
toe loss of’their wealth and influence is
jo'mdthe defection among the R* lieals,
which, whether great or small, divides the
sliengtb and distracts the counsels of the
ministiy In those places which would be
most likely to respond to an appeal against
the undue preponderance of class opinion,
the ont'ook for the great minister 1* any
thing but hopeful. A defection of ten per
r ?i.. of the Liberals in each constituency in
G eat Britain would cost the Liberal* tho
Urs of do less than 120 sea's, and would
leave them with but 212 supporteis
in the next Parliament. It to
these be padded the 86 Nationalists, the
tolr'strenq.h of too taorae-.u'e s would be
298 in a House of 670 members, and the
mr.iority against home rule would be 74.
If the defection amounted to aa much as
twenty per cent, in each constituency, the
Libera's wor'd be almost swept ont of Far-
1‘ement, fo- in such case they would return
Dot more then 100 members, nnd the-e,
added to the followers of Mr. Parrel), would
be in a minority of no Iris than 298.
Judqeu by the members of tho House of
Commons, tho Liberals who will liolt at this
election will be thirty per cent, of the
wrote party. Huch indications as we have
had as to the feelings of the constituencies
all show that there is a defee*'oi among
tho rank and file, seiions enough to be
very dangerous, ‘hough ord'tuiuy it does
not appear to be us great ns among
ihe members of l’arl'amect. In no case,
however, in the voting npon resolu
tions iu the local Liberal associations, ha*
the mother of tho a.ipAo. .-ra of tho ;
Liberals wuo declined to spprove the course
of the government been, to for as we ere st
present informed, less than twenty per
oent. of the number voting upon the reso
lutions. Assuming that the combined in
fluence of the HsrUngton Whigs and tho
Chamberlain llsd'cal* will be sntfleient to
detach from the prime minister the support
of one-fifth of bis petty, there is on the
other side to be oounted the Irish vote, con
siderable in some constituencies, insignifi
cant in othcrswbich will be detsebed from the
Conservatives, for whom it so* csst at the
last election, and thrown solidly in favor of
the Liberals. It is possible, too, th*t the
Tories are not absolutely unanimous in
their opart*" ion Whether Sir Robert Peel
and Lord Ashbu.'^am ere' alone
among their conservative hr. it their
advocacy of home rale for InUnu cannot
lie told until the elections ere over, suit

that however orach some Tories msy wish
