SENATOK HOWE'S SPEECH.
A SCATJIIXG REVIEW OF THE
PRESIDENT'S FOLIC V.
D-iriujr Which He Hits the Attenuated
Schnrz a Tolling IJIow IJetvecii
Wind-aud Water.
Mr. Howe eaid: During the past
year we have seen here and every
where throughout the country small
but active squads of political inquisi
tors busy with thejjwork of asserting
Republican party gatherings into hal
lowed garners all those who avow
themselves supporters of the Presi
dent's policy and pouring unquench
able fire upon all the rest. Poles have
been sot up at all the cross-roads.
Flags inscribed with the President's
policy have been suspended from them
and eelf-appolnted inquisitors have
lurked in convenient jungles to detect
who did and who did not uncover un
der the flag. It lias happened to me
to be advertised quite beyond the pale
of my own modesty seeking as an op
ponent of the President's policy. To
the doctors of inquisition it seems no
longer a question of moment wheth
er one be a Republican ora Democrat.
The absorbing question is, Does he
support the President's policy or.does
he not? Sir, I have no wish to con
ceal any opinion of mine which the
public is interested to know. Never
theless, I have not hitherto auswered
to this accusation. I did not like to
plead guilty, for I hoped I was in
nocent, and Idid not like to plead not
guilty, for I feared I might
be guilty. I had withheld no honest
effort to elect Mr. Hayes. It must, of
necessity, pain me to be found, not in
acoord with his views, and it must
pain me still more to find he was not
. in accord with mine. My uncertain
ty aro&e, not from the fact that I was
doubtful of my own policy, hut be
oause I was not sure I understood his.
My own policy is a very simple one,
and may be briefly stated.
Toward the states of the South my
policy has been identical with thepol
ioy I have hold toward the States of
the North. I demand only that every
qualified elector in every State, South
or North, Democrat or Republican,
black or white, shall be permitted, un
disturbed by force and unawed by
fear, to vote at all elections and at the
place prescribed br law, and no
where else, just once, and no more
than once ; that every vote so cast
shall be honestly counted, and that
every person chosen by such votes to
any office shall be freely inducted in
to it. That is n3' Southern policy,
and the whole of it. The very head
and front of my offending against the
South hath this extent, no more.
Concerning the civil service my pol
icy is not a bit more complicated. I
would have that service administered
by the best men attainable, and I be
lieve a Republican President should,
a3 the Cincinnati Convention, select
Republicans for all those plaoes where
harmony aud vigor of administration
require its policy to be represented. I
believe, as the President declared in
his inaugural adress, that, once com
missioned, the officer should be secure
in his tenure 60 long as his personal
character remains untarnished, and
the performance of his duty is satis
factory. Some things have happened
. Bince the President's inauguration not
. at all In harmony with the policies I
have indicated. He has selected for
his Cabinet one man who was not a
Republican, but a Democrat. Still,
the individual was so well known to
pie, and I believedso implicitly in the
rnoderationof hisopinions.in the just
ness of his sentiments, and the integ
rity of his character, that if I could
pot have advised his selection, I could
pot, and did not, complain of it.
SCHURZ.
He had selected one other who al
though not a Demoorat was yet not a
Republican ; who was equally at home
with all parties and in all places. By
turns he had been everywhere, and
had espoused and deserted every par
ty. He spoke like an oracle, and his
facile speeoh could be fitted to the vi
- cissitudes of parties as readily as a
double-faced Batin can be turned to
hide the accidents of society. His
critiques upon his political associates
gave him popularity with his political
opponents, and be resembled prophets
in never being without honor, except
where he happened to reside. Incon
stant in everything else, he has been
constant to his trade, that of politics.
He entered upon that before he was of
age, and has pursued it since without
variableness or shadow of turning.
His first enterprise was to revolution
ize the government under which he
was born. That tailed and he ned.
He was for a short time a lawyer in
Wisconsin, but without clients. He
was a Minister at. Madrid, but did not
reconstruct the diplomacy of the
world. He was a Major General, but
perverse history refused to record his
viotories. Ho was a newspaper cor
respondent, and was unsuccessful. He
was transplanted into Missouri, and
generous Republicans of that State
bore him into this Senat9. The ele
vation did not prove fatal to him, but
his party died died, not in spite of
him, but because of him and under
blows which he inflicted. Having
outraged one party and not yet receiv
ed absolution from the other, he de
nounced both as machines. Having
failed as a dealer in legitimate politics
he turned his attention to the contra
band article. In 1872 he helped to
lead Horace Greeley and B. Gratz
Brown to the Baltimore market, and
taught the Democracy of that year
that they should call nothing common
or unclean if it promised to beat
Grant. For six 3ears he traduced the
Republican party, probably through
more States, with more rhetoric and
in more languages than any man liv
ing. Upon that illustrious captain
who from the 4th of July, 1863 to the
4th of March, 1877, led the Republi
can party who always led his party
to victory and alwaj'8 lifted his coun
try to renown, and at whoso approach
but recently the Eastern continents
stood up uncovered he threw more
mud than nny dredge not worked by
steam ever threw in the same time.
After reviewing still further Secre
tary Sohurz's career, Mr. Howe took
up the Packard case and theLouisaua
election, and eaid: When the Presi
dent was inaugurated Stephen P.
Packard was Governor of Louisiana.
Within sixty days after that inaugur
ation he ceased to be Governor. When
he disappeared the will of Louisiana
was subverted and trampled upon
Such an event is always a matter of
sincere regret to all who respect re
publican institutions. But very few
such events would berequiaed to ren
der republican institutions that by
word and that hissing on this contin
ent which for'ceu turies they have been
on the other.
He then reviewed, at length the
work of the Louisiana commission in
a sarcastic tone, aud said : If it was
their mission to depose an actual Gov
ernor, they did not consume time
enough. Under the constitution of
Louisiana, fouryearsare required for
that purpose. I could not, therefore,
sec in all that transpired in Louisiana,
the development of a new policy for
the Republican party or the abandon
ment of an old policy. I saw only
acquiescence in what seemed to be a
disagreeable necessity. But I was not
prepared to see the act advertised as
on ofe the President's choice, which
every Republican, as well as every
Democrat, was bound to approve. It
was therefore a matter of surprise,
and profound regret also, that I hoard
tue president declare in his late an
nual message that the discontinuance
of the use of the army for the purpose
of upholding local governments in
two States of the Union was no less a
Constitutional duty and requirement
under the circumstances existing at
the time, than It was a much-needed
measure for the restoration of local
government and the promotion of na
tional harmony.
'If that be a correct definition of
the President's Southern policy, I am
no longer in doubt as to whether I ap
prove it or not. It is impossible that
I should approve it now or ever. It
is a clear abandonment of one of the
plainest aud mostsolemn duties charg
ed upon the President by the Consti
tution and laws of the United States.
When the President abandoned the
government of Louisiana to domestic
violence he surrendered the constitu
tional rights of a single State. But
when he advertised that lie would
never interfere where the result of an
election is disputed, ho surrendered a
national prerogative vital to our in
stitutions. He abjured aconstitution
al duty essential to every State. He
proclaimed license to insurrection.
He notified the minority in every
State, when defeated by the ballot, to
appeal to the bayonet, and he pro
claimed in advance that the nation
shall be neutral in the conflict.
If Paokard was not elected Govern
or of Louisiana, nothing can bo more
certain than that Hayes was not elected
President of the United States. With
out the electoral vote of Louisiana
the whole world knows that Hayes
had not votes in the electoral college
necessury to constitute an electoion.
If Louisiana did not vote for Packard,
the whole world knows that Louisi
ana did not vote for Hayes. Packard
received nearly 2,003 votes more than
some of the Hayes electors. Under the
Constitution the President had but
one plain duty to discharge; that was
to ascertain whether the constituted
tribunals of Louisiana had declared
Paokard to be Governor ; if so, then
to defend his authority to the extent
of his ability, when legally required
so to do. If they had not so declared
then it was equally his duty, not
merely to have withheld all the sup
port from Packard's pretense, but
to have given all the required sup
port to the claim of Packard's rival.
It was his duty to have done that,
not, merely on the 20th of April, but
to have done it on the 4th of March,
immediately upon his assuming" the
office of President, and if he found it
his constitutional duty to require
Packard to surrender his office; he
should also have recognized the duty
of surrendering his own.
I do not mean to Ultimate a doubt
that President Hayes was entitled to
the vote of Louisiann. It is my set
tled belief that Louisiana deolared for
him : but all I certainly know is that
If Packard was not elected, President
Hayes was not. If the latter is not a
usurper, Nicholls is. I can see no
possible escape from the conclusion
either that the President has usurped
his own office, or that he has aided
Governor Nicholls to usurp his.
After a long discusssion of the Lou
isiana case and the Southern question
generally, Mr. Howe continued :
Mr. President, let no man say I do
injustice to the purposes of the Pres
ident, lam not discussing his pur
posed, but his acts. I understand he
still avows himself to be a Rupubli-
can and a friend of equal oitizenship.
It is not for mo to dispute him. But
it is for me to say that he has offend
ed both Republicanism and free oiti
zenship as Samuel J. Tilden never
would have offended them. Perhaps
had Mr. Tilden been made President,
events would have transpired in
South Carolina and Louisiana, as they
have transpired. Mr. Hampton
would have been Governor in the
former state, and Mr. Nicholls in the
latter. So far, the offense would have
precisely the same. But that would
have been an offense not against Re
publicanism, but against Republicans
in those States.
Mr. Tilden would have deoided,-perhaps,
that Hampton and Nicholls
wereohosen Governors of those states,
and that, iT so, they ought to be rec
ognized, and even if not so, since he
had jurisdiction of the question,
would haveacquiesced in hisdeclsion.
ButPreBldent Hay es never made such
a decision, and does not make it to
day. Mr. Tilden would have exclud
ed Packard and Chamberlain, because
he decided against their election.
President Hayes excluded them be
cause their election was disputed. The
former would have given an erroneous
judgment, and would then have seen
it executed. President Hayes has
abandoned the judgment seat to the
rifle clubs in these states ; left them
to make a decision which the Consti
tution and courts commanded him to
make, and.infiuitlly worse than that,
has permitted proclamations to be
made in his name that, when the riile
olubs chose to take the field in behalf
of a certain tioket, it is not necessary
for them to elect theirticket, but only
to dispute the election of the other.
And after all this prolonged effort at
pacifioation, this outpouring of con
cessions and good will, the angel of
peace still refuses to descend upon us.
Day after day the President sends
the dove out over angry floods, and
night after night the bird returns wea
ry and leafless. In these very days
that government which rules Louisi
ana, which was born of Presidential
graco, aud not of popular choice, has
signalized its Ingratitude by an act not
less insulting to the President than
atrocious In itself. It has dared to ac
cuse, try, and convict a member of
the State Board of Canvassers of the
crime of forging eleotiou returns of
Vernon Parish of 187G.
Remember, sir, I do not complain
because Anderson was tried lor a po
litical offense. If he is guilty of the
offense charged I have not a syllable
to urge in his defense. The point 1
make against the government of Lou
isiana is, that it prosecuted, uotin the
name of publio justice, but of parti
san malice; that it prosecuted a man
guiltless of the offense alleged against
him, and known to be guiltless. An
derson is the victim, notof a mistake
but of malice ; not of personal, but of
partisan malice. He was prosecuted
by that same fell spirit of party spite
which prompted Georgia forty years
ago to offer $5,000 for the privilege of
prosecuting Garrison, and which
twenty years ago made South Caroli
na clap her hands at the whipping of
Sumner.
Anderson stands convicted in a
court commissioned by Governor
Nicholls, who in turn 6tands practi
cally properly commissioned by Pres
ident Hayes.
Mr. Howe reviewed the actio'h of tho
Returning Board at length, ridiculed
the Idea that Anderson forged returns,
and said : Whittaker, by the graco of
Andrew Johnson, was formerly As
sistant Treasurer of the United States
at New Orleans ; that as such ho was
a defaulter to the government in the
sum of more than $500,000 when he
sent Anderson to prison ; that Whit
taker had been under indictment for
that heavy embezzlement, but that on
the 19th of April last, just as Nicholls
took the office which Packard ought
to have had, the indictment against
Whittaker was nolle prossed, and he
was permitted to send Anderson to
the Penitentiary, where he ought to
be himself.
The Senator spoke in the following
tone of civil service reform :
An einineut statesman from Ken
tucky recently made a pilgrimage to
Boston in the interest of civil service
reform. There, in sight of that great
monument which marks tho spot
where immaculate valor died for im
mortal truth, lie dared to say "the
cause of reform in the hands of brave
men will not be put down or defeated
by the scoffs and derision of its ene
mies." I should like to ask this apos
tle to Bostouians who those enemies
of reform are, against whose deribion
he has to incite brave men? In spite
of all the vociferous prate about a re
form of the civil service, no man has
formulated it, no man has defined it.
I do not know what they mean by it.
The President did issue an order for
bidding those employed in the civil
service from acting on political com
mittees or at political conv entions. Is
that what is meant by reform of the
civil service? Ifso, the President has
already abandoned it, or I am raisin
formed ; or, if he still believes that
means reform, he is the only man in
the United States who does believe it.
That is uot reform. That is tyranny
tyranny which no predecessorof his
ever attempted, aud no successor will
venture to imitate.
Once it was Industriously advertised
that public afficers should not be re
moved during their official terms
without cause. As already remarked,
I believe in that rule. I have myself
adhered to it, but the President has
flagrantly violated If. That surely
cannot be what is meant by reform of
tho civil service. Latterly it has been
suggested that the great reform con
sisted in making appointments to of
fice regardless of the advice of Senators
and Representatives from States, and
so smashing "the machine." In some
conspicuous oases, the very reverse
has been done. What the rule is up
on this or any point touching appoint
ments, it is not given to finite intelli
gence to know. But 1 have four re
marks to make upon this last sugges
tion :
First All Presidents have been, all
Presidents must be, and President
Hayes is, guided by some advice, and
that advice does come and will come
from one or the other of three sources.
Either it will be supplied by those
whom the several States have select
ed for their representatives, or by
those who have not been, but aspire
to be, chosen as representatives, or it
will come from office brokers who
have no political aspirations, but do
a chiefly cash business.
. 2. When any President will abso
lutely relieve Representatives from all
responsibility for that multitude who
want office and do not get it, he will
shield them from that service which
most impairs usefulness and 'imperils
the continuance of their employ -
ment.
3. When any President will take
upon himself the sole responsibility
from all of whom he does and all oth
ers whom hedoesnotappolut, he will
not need to pledge himself against a
second term. The best man ever born
could not achieve a second term un
der such a load
4. Whether the people will have
an improved civil service, when its
agents are selected upon the advice of
those not in Congress, depends upon
whether tho people send their be3t
men to Congress or keep them at
home.
Mr. President, the Republican par
ty has achieved something in its time,
something which need not be repent
ed of. It battled for freedom in the
Territories, against slavery, for the
Union, against disunion ; for eman
cipation, against bondage, ror enfran
chisement; for equal rights of oiti
zena, against privileges of caste ; for
reign of law against the dominations
of Kuklux aud White League, for hu
man progress against a stagnantor re
actionary conservatism. The conflict
has been fearful, but the triumph has
been gained. This generation may
have forgotten this work, but his
tory has recorded it, aud the future
will not fail to applaud it.
I see its authority totters totters,
pehaps, to its fall. With unruffled
temper I await the final judgment of
the people. Forseeing what numbers
would seek admission to the Romish
Church after the accession of James
II., a distinguished lady of court ear
ly joined that communion. When
asked why she did so she explained
that she disliked to travel in a crowd,
and as she saw so many were soon go
ing to Rome, she thought she would
precede them. I shall not imitate her
wisdom. Prudent Republicans who
think defeat is the last calamity
which can befall them may do well to
avoid it by taking refuge In the camp
of the enemy. But, as for mvself. I
propose to stay at home and do not
much fear a crowd. I fear disgrace
more than defeat, and shall not con
sent to see our historic temples turn
ed into old junk Rhops where pinch
beck virtue is sold by mock auction
eers. But must political strife be perpetu
al? Shall we never have peace ? No;
no, never while human opinion is
free and is not accordant ; never until
justice is everywhere supreme law ;
never until tho lower and blackest of
God's children finds the pursuit of
happiness as free from legal obstruc
tion us the highest aud whitest find
it; never until the sweat of a man,
however humble, as much concerns
the State as the sweat of a dollar, no
matter how precious tbe metal of
which the dollar is coined. A thou
sand years of history prove that peace
upon other terms than these is a de
lusion and snare.
3IR. HOAR. WANTS TO KNOW.
In regard to that portion of Mr.
Howe'w speech where he referred to
the iudiutmeut against Whittaker
having been nolle prossed, Mr. Hoar
eaid be desired to inquiro of Senator
Howe whether he had any informa
tion that Whittaker was indicted for
a defalcation charged eight years ago,
tried and acquitted on the merits of
the case, and that the indictment
nolle prossed a year ago was for the
same offense.
Mr. Howe said it was due to truth
to say that he had such information,
but he had also been told that tha de
falcation actually existed, aud he
(Howe) hoped that the answer to his
resolution would show how Whittaker
was acquitted on that trial.
Mr. Hoar said that when tbe pres
ent aumiuistiation came into power
the Attorney Gener received from the
Di;trict Attorney in New Orleans a
list of the old cases pending, and the
one against Whittaker was wiped off
the docket with a number of others of
no importance. The action was tak
en by the Attorney General in the or
dinary course of business, without any
understanding with the President.
Tho remarks of Senator Howe would
imply that the nolle prosso of Whit
taker's case had something to do with
political events in Louisiana.
IT WOULDN'T BE MUCH OK A SUR
PRISE. Mr. Howe said he would not be sur
pried if that should turn out to be a
fact. It would not overwhelm him
with astonishment.

Muscatixe, Iowa, March 27, 1377.
The valne of this remedy must not be overlooked
In the cure of those
SYMPATHETIC DISEASES,
Affections of the Eye, Ear, Throat, Ludes and
Bronchial Tubes which in ni an v cases accompany
a severe case of Catarrh. The inflamed and die
eased condition of the mucous membrane Is the
cause of all these troubles; and until tho system
has been brought properly undpr the Influence of
the RADICAL COKE, perfect freedom from them
cannot be reasonably expected.
It In but three years Bince SAXFORD'S RADI
CAL CUKE was placed before the public. Iiu In
that short time it lias found Its way from Maine to
California, and Is everywhere acknowledged by
druggists and physicians to be the most successful
preparation for tho thorough treatment of Catarrh
ever compounded. The fact will be deemed of
more importance when it is coupled with the state
ment that within five years over 150 d liferent
remedies for Catarrh have been placed on sale, and
to-day, with one or two exceptions, th lr names
cannot be recalled by the best-Informed druggist.
Advertising may succeed In forcing a few sales,
but. unless the remedy possess undoubted specific
medical properties. It is absolutely certain to fall
Into merited obscurity.
Each package of SAXFORD'S RADICAL CURE
contains Dr. Sanford's Improved Inhaling Tube,
with full directions for lis use In all cases. Irice

The first dose produces an ef

ALOUISANA PLANTER SAYS:
"lly plantation is in a malarial district. For
several years I coold not make half a crop on
noennTii nf niekness. I enmlov one hundred and
fifty hands, often half of them were sick. I was
nearly dtecouraced when I bepan the use of
XITXT'S XIS. 1 used them as a pre
caution as well as a cere. The result was
marvellous ; my laborers became hearty, robust,
and happy, and I have had no farther trouble.
With these Pills I would not fear to live in tho
Okofonokce swamp."
E. RIVAL, Bayoi: Saba, La,
"BEST PILL IN EXISTENCE."
" I have used your Pills for Dyspepsia, "Veak
Stomach and Kervousaess, and can say I never
had any thin to do me so much good in the
way of medicine. They are as good as you rep
resent them. I recommend them as the Best
FJ11 in existence, and do all I can to acquaint
others with their good merits."
