Thc Proposed Appropriation for their
Ki lief.
Wo have already givou a brie: synopsis of
tue debate bi the United Statos Senate on the
3d instant, which preceded thc rejection of ?ho
clau.e iu llr* Civil Appropriation bill appro.
priatin.T $20,000 to rebuild tho Orphan Asylum
of the Slaters of Mercy. Wo make some fur?
ther extracts from the full debate as lepo/tcd
in the Congressional Globe:
Slr. Howard. I trust that I know bo v to p
pieciate the services of the lad:es interested
in thin dann; bul, sir, il is not to be for. ottou
that their prolr-ssio.i is tho doing of Rood to
persons in disrcss, the poor, tho s ck, the
naked the destitute. To tins object they aro
by t'jeir profession devoted. They arc set apart
i?r those purpose, ibcy aie as much, how?
ever, subject to ibe control of their ecclesias?
tical superior, the bishop of thc diocese, as are
any othcrot Ins nubord.nates. and I apprehend
that altbonsth we may make this gratuity, as
it is called, to thom personal!}*, they will donvo
no bcne? from it whatever, lt will bo to thom
no compensation; bat the fund, if it should be
tur.s appropriated, will be applied accordion to
the direction of their ecclesiastical supere"*
and to such pin-poses as he mar ace fit to ap?
ply it to. Tho qnes ion would be soniowhat
different if tho money which we are called
npon to appropriate was to go into (ho DOC eta
of these devoted women. I suppose, however,
it will not.
Now, sir, I am unwilling to make a distinc?
tion between the Sisters of ^Teicy or the Sis?
ters of Charity, ladies belonging to the Roman
Catholic Church devoted to these deeds ot
well-doing, and other ladies belonging to Pro?
testant Churches at the North and at tho South
who have evinced au equal spirit of devotion
to the country and to tuo offices of humanity
?nd of Christian kindness. There are all over
tbe country thousands and thousands upon
thousands of those devoted ladies who ia our
hour of need eave their services, and many of
them their fortune, tbe r healths and their
lives to the cause of the cou 11 ry, who have not
come forward hero to ask any such plausible
recognition as this on the part of Congress,
but wnoBo cervices, compared with those ren?
dered by members of the rloman Catholic
Church, certainly are equally meritorious, and,
in my humble judgment, incalculably more
meritorious to the cause of the couatiy.
Mr. Hendricks. The only diifioulty that pre?
sents itself ia this case, as 1 think, is thu:
that property which is destroyed in battle,
whether the property of the enemy or the prop?
erty ot the supporters ut the government, is
not to be paid for. Ibat is the general propo?
sition; and the proposition is absolute in re?
gard to individuals of the enemy's oouutry as
in a war between independent natioua. But I
think that doct -ino oncht not to be applied to
the case of a charitable institution destroyed.
Amone: nations a charitable institution wou.d
not be regarded, an I could not be regarded, as
a public enemy. I suppose tba; it a great
power wero to conquer a country, and, m thc
progress of tho war, had destroyed one ot the
institutions of charity, it would not be in< on?
ers tem with the duties of that nation, in lukins
possession of tho resources of tito country con?
quered, to restore thal chirit..ble iuatiiution.
While we would njt all think of makins up to
individuals the losses susta ned in the war. it
would seem to be > orv proper to restoro an in?
stitution of charily which had fallon under tin
prosecution of thb war, for tho reason that an
institution of chai it v c.iunot bo rogarded as an
enemy. Its nature forbids it; its mission for?
bids it.
Now, Mr. President, this institution, worth
more motioy, as I understand from the sena
I tors from South Car Jina, than tbe appropria
1 tion proposed, was destroyed du' ing ihe '>om
bardmeut of Charleston.' I understand, us
suggested by a senator near m \ that .he in?
stitution was worth tw.ee the amount that wo
propose to appropriate. What was that iusti- '<
tutiou? The eena tor from Michigan savs it
was owned by tbe bishop. I do not know who
owned it, a d I do not care who owned it. lt
is enough to know that the little children, who 1
aro to be protectel by men with ho iris m their
bosoms, of all nations aud under all circum?
stances, that littlo orphan children without la?
thers toncare tor thom, the children of the
State, were fed and clothed in that institution. 1
It was not established, it was not maintained,
it was not continued for tbe purpose of giving
aid to the military power of any section; bal it
was maintained, by whomsoever owned, for the
pnrposo of feeding and clothing littlo children; i
and h3 and that government that provides for i
the orphan has God's blessing. It is not uube- I
coming the government of tue United States, i
when in the dreadful casualties of the wax a I
charitable institution like this has fallon, that it ;
shall he'p to rear it again, lt is proper for the i
reason that it is a charity. We do not bestow
charities by aDproonalions made by Congres ?, 1
but we may lestore that which the prosecution i
of the war has destroyed. '
The senator from South Carolina is acquaint- I
ed with the facts, and has made his statement. <
Then these Sisters, as I claim the fact to be, I
npon the statement of tho senator from South I
Care'..'na, have extended then- kindness to the i
soldiers of the United States. There is no i
question of loyalty or disloyalty involved. Ic l
is a question of a destroyed borne of the i
orphan, destroyed in the prosecution of the i
war, destroyed in the taking of a oity which it ?
became necessary, ia the prosecution of tho
war, to captare. Shall we make this appro- I
priation of $20 OOO ? I do not care whether
that charity in its legal ownership belonged * o I
the bishop or belonged to the Sisters. Then* ;
is no question that the institution was used :
property for the hight st puiposee, and it is not ;
for ihe individual benefit, when it is restored, i
eithor of the bishop or of the Sisters; it is for :
the benefit of tho orphan; and being consistent
with tbe laws of war, and lcquired oy the laws <
of charity and kindness aol m jrai itv, I ohoose i
to respond to tho appeal that is made. <
Mr. Frelinghuvsen. I do not look at this :
sn j.'Ct m a sectarian view or desire to invoke
those feelings and prejudices. I look upon it <
RB a proposition to take so much money out o'
the Treasury, and as guardians of tho Treasu- i
ry thc question for us to determine is wbeiher
it is oar duty to vote it or not. Now, this is
eithe- a le ?al claim against the United Slates
or it ia a gratuity. IL is not b .th.
Mr. Morrill, of Maine. If the senator will
allow me, he co nmittee put it si nply on the
latter grou d, that it is nothing more nor less
than a gratuity.
Mr. Frelinghaysen. But the senator fro a
Indiana puts it partly on the one ground aud
partly ou the ether. It ia tither tho ono
thing or the other. Is it a claim against this
government to pay for tba bomb .rduiou of
property in Charleston, of all p aces in this
w irld for a local claim to como from ? Tho
senator says that we. re not forbidden bv tho
law to '.ay for tho destruction of institutions
of charity. Neither aro we firbidden by tho
law to piy for private property, l'ho ques?
tion is ? bether there is any obligation ot'law
?upon us to pay for either in an enemy's ountrv.
Then the senator Irom Indiana plays with
thit word "orphan;" and a mau must be very
callous whose heart docs not make sonio re?
sponse whenover tnat word is mentioned; but
1 would romind the senator that witjuti tho mst
ten days tho Committee on tho Judiciiiry. on
aa appoal being made to 'he Senate lo voie
money for the orphans of thc soldier? ?vho were
killed at Gettysburg, for iosii'uiioas which are
there established, not sectarian in their char?
acter felt it their duty to report and ad>i -e
this Senate not to moko the appropriation. A?
to its being a gratuity, all I have lo say on that
Bubjoctis tba. if we enter uoon tuet line of
gratuities we enter upon a Inc which has no
lind ; for there is not n State iu the "Ji iou,
there is hardly a neighborhood at tin North,
that has no? had simiu.r instituto is to pro?
mote the welfare of tin patriotic soldiers of
this country; but Ibey never hivetnought of
coming hero to ask the govert.menc to reim?
burse them for their chantv. Woy sh mid RU
mt make an appropriation to the Christian
Commission, to the American Bible 8jcittv, io
the Tract Sociely ? Why not to the hundreds
of nurses, nud SurgCOQS, and chap'aius who
went voluntarily to thc tiela? Mr. President,
this war has betti a weight npon the nation; it
has furrowou tho*whole land with gravos, and
tho people now groan ander tho burJan of
taxA'ioi?; and ? trust that that which was done
iu chArit*. ?ill roma n a charity and that the."
may wsek thole rv ward from that, source lioiu
which they expected to receive it uaa the
charily was performed.
Mr Sawyer. I u g to call the attention ot
ibo Se?alo io this Cwt : that in the Southern
States, (lunn? the .ar, a whole race of pe .pic
were taken from the protection ol' ihvmv v. no
had bdoro tl.at -ned for then- animal wants;
that too oahu's lookin; at their condition,
pjsscd a hat, called them fie ward-* of thu
nation, and appropriated immense sums iu
charily to those men; that the whole Southern
land was spread over with the charities of the
United Statoa io those people, who had bocumo
in a certain BO: se orphans; and that hero wo
h ive the amplest precedont for a charily of this
kind. In this case the orphans weie turned
ou . of house and home upon the world, and
their guardians deprived of tin power of pro?
tecting them by tho aeddents of war, while
tijoso guardians at that very time were minis?
tering to our wounded and s ck. when tho
honor ible senator from Missouri denies that
they were tho means ot savins tho lives ol' our
own soldiers, I point him to the testimonials
ot General Scott, General Sickles, General
Sherman, and other distinguished officers ot
tho American army, whoso names aro all np
pen -ed, not to this claim, tor these ladies
make no claim; not to anv petition to Con?
gress that they may be reimbursed tor tho loss
ot meir property; cut thoso officers do petition
Congress that the services ot these ladies may
be recognized, and that they mav be put in a
position again todo that charitable work which
the accidents of war have taken from them the
powe to do.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, I think a plain
statement of this case will ?how very clearly
that it ought not to bc considered by thc Sena o
of the U.iited States. The papers came herc
more than a year tipo. Tho S.sters ot Mercy
started upon a mission to procuro aid from tho
North, and obtained letters fiom various indi?
viduals with that view. They started ont for
no other purpose Dut when they reached
Washington some kind friend, rather than put
his hand in hie own pocket and contribute,
advised them to como to Congress for relief.
That was the character of thc papers which
were referred to the Committee on Claim-;
and bein? considored by tho C untnittce on
Claims, the case was unanimously reported
against. It seems that tin sa Sist rs of Mercy
had a building in Charleston for the instruc?
tion of orp'iao girls and a residence tor them?
selves, both of whi-jh were moro or less
damage?! during tho bombardment of thal
city. The government, through its officers
then stationed lhere, repair id their dwelling
house and made it complete again. Such was
the evidence t?at was before the Committee on
Claims.
Now, Mr. President, if this claim is to be al?
lowed as a gratuity, or io any oth^r form, why
cannot tho owners of any school bouao or of
anv church in the City of Charleston, or in any
other spot that has been destr >yed by the
armies of the United States, come forward with
equal crace for a gra'uity on the part of
congress? I do not understand that wo are
almoners-the dispensers of the charity of the
United States. If there is auv charity to be
bcetowed, let us put our hands in our own
pockets.
Mr. Rober i son. I wish to add a few words in
Bupp.i t of the amendment reported by the
Committee on Appropria ions. It scorns to me
so obviously just an i proper that I must ex?
press my surprise at the opposition that has
been made to it in the Senate. H re ia an insti?
tution devoted to the care and m untenan e of
orphans in the City of Charleston, under tho
chargo of the Sisters of Mercy, who. according
to tho evidence presented, performed mati,\ aeta
of litndue.-s to the Union prisoners m that City.
During tb** bom' ardmcnt of the city tho
building was almost destroyed. General
Sickles. wb<n he was in command ot Charles?
ton, would have had tho building rcpauud, but
upon an examination it was ascertained that
it co i il not bo repjired. it having boen so
much injured by the shells of our forces. Tue
Sisters ol Mercy now ask to h av . their building
restored in order that they may bo enabled to
take ciro ol tho orphans in their charge. 'Phis
is surely one of the greatest charil ios lu thc
world. Tnose orphans need tho protecting
ann of tue government. Their former insti?
tution being untenantable fri.m tho destruc?
tion caused by our sh .ds.they are n >w confined
in a sui all, narrow building in an uuh althv
part ol tho ciiy, ?hero a great m my of them
wtli suffer and probably dio Irom disease con?
tracted in tint unlicalmy locality. These
Sisters simply ask enough aid. enough charily
from tnis government to enable them to restoro
their buildings, and. 1 siucrely hopo that the
Sonate will grant their request.
Alter eomo further discussion tho Amend?
ment was rejected; yeas twonty. nays twenty
two. Abst?nt or not voting twenty-four.
KINO COTTON:
Some Sensible Talk for the Southern
Planten from Horace Greeley.
[From the New York Tribune. ]
Hardly a Southern paper reaches us bnt his
editorial comment of sumo sort, on the pros
oective crop of 18G9. lt 13 generally concede J
.bat it will bo largo if tho season is at all favor?
able. Some ed tors have the sagacity to BOO
.bat saying so much about a great crop this
year wdl have a bad effect o.n that part of tho
crop of 13G8 which remains unsold.
Now. trionds at the South, before your dou?
ble ploughs have thrown ail the ian . into
ridges for cottou rows take time and give this
trhole business of agriculture a Buber second
thought. You have just come out of a great
ivar iu which you wero Worst e L Tho weakest
thing in the southern military service during
that war was its commissariat. A strictly agn-.
cultural people, haviug as much pride ol acres
ia any landed aristocracy in the world, were
(rom the ti rs t, and in all stages of a four years'
?tnto, weakened, hampered, thwarted, demo?
ralized, and finally defeated, for wane of hoof,
:oru, wheat, hay and oats.
A great war is like a severe illness; it tries
th i constitution and unmasks the weukuess of
che s.\stem. The agricultural system of thc
South has been proved defective, because in a
protracted tight tho breach appeared there
first. Now. what is thc gio >t chane.eristic of
planting? It is, and from I ho first has been,
tho der>ving of a largo incomo in clear money
hom a broad surface, by the sale of vegetable
products. A small planter is ono wu os J ac?
count sales ot cutton or tobacco, rice or sugar,
do not ligure up moro than $5000. The sales
ot tue largo planter? runge ad the way f-oiu
$5000 to $100 000. A lew a very Kw. Boulhcrn
proprietors received ovei $100,000 from a single
crop. That mode ot deriving an meo ne may
have been cooue-ted with the character and
Btalus of the laborer; but such connection was
not inseparable. A slave could cradle wheat
or fatten hugs if ordered to just as wallas he
could pick cotton or sucker tobacco. Slavery
hud inhen-nt sins on .nigh without charging it
with blunders (hat were not. in the nature of
things, inseparable Hom un pa i laoor. From
tho ti.ne ot Pocahontas tho Southern domain
was divided iuto large estatos. Those who
surveyed uni plotted it tult as Brutus did
about Caesar's body: "Let us carve him as a
dish flt tor the gods, not hew him like a ear?
ea ss lor the hounds."
These broad areas wore cleared and cropped
by s.jort-lovmg men, for WHOSO cars the bay
ii g of a ack of fox hounds was sweetest
music. Put a mau Willi those tastes at tue
centre of a twelve bundie 1 acre t act, aud
what will ho do ? He will have as ew inside

Cotton is a very important texii.c; but nations?
were clad, and well clad, before Eli Whitney
was born Agriculture means (he culture of th?
fields, not skimming and desolating them. En?
joying tho best dinuv.c and ploughing the best
soil on the continent, tho Southron ate import?
ed broad drank imported wme, caro his banda
imported pork, shod them wu h imported
leather, and buckled an imported s iddle on the
back of a bond that had travelled a thousand
miles southward to find a purchaser. When
such a people went to war with States that fed
nod clothed them, the result was inevitable.
Juiiui Cffljar with his tenth legion could have
delayed that exchange o' notes at Appomattox
Coorthouse, but he could not have nudo it im
possiole.
In profound peace, with a strong, silent, vig?
ilant man at tne wheel, the country is entering
upon a ducado of material prosperity and de?
velopment that wih be moro amazing than the
magnitude and tho obstinacy of the recent
strife. What the South wants above all ot.'ior
things, is not disfranchisement or enfran?
chisement, or a man in the Cabinet, uor even
a high price for good middling but an-agri
cult ural s vs teni that i'true, just aud lasting.
Uer land has bad no Sabb Uh; there has been
no restoration. Tho balance between tho liv?
ing and the dead products of farming wae
destrovod, and must bo regained. No lands
that aro not often renewed by the mud of in?
undations can survive such an exhaustivo suc?
cession as the planter has required of his cot?
ton and tobacco Adds.
A lost fertility must be restored. That sa?
vagery of broom-sedge and brier-thickets must
be abolished. But tho purchase ot a few
thousand tons or guano will not work the de?
sired change. Those phosphatic stones on
Ashley River alono will not do it. The South
thinks s-ie needs manufactures-and so she
does. But artisans and operatives will not
move there till good food and good cloth aro
1 ss costly. These will uot bo moro abundant
till thcro are more good barns and well-de?
signed farm-yards ; till ihese p?or. wild cows
are replaced with Durhams, arid Herefords,
and A?derne*s; till those razor-back hogs aro
killed, and Suffoiks and Chesters take their
place; till they bave fatter chickens and more
of them; till potatoes, and cabbages, and ?p?
ice are cheaper. Cotton always was a weak
ing. He was full of pride, and vanity, and
weakness. He urged his subjects into on un?
equal strife, and tben showed no inflnonce at
courts to make allia ice or Bccure open ports.
He give the planter's family pocket money, a
handsome carriage, and a heritage of b irren

NEWS FROM WASHINGTON.
The President ?nd the Civil Tenure Caw
A Washington telegram (March 13) to the
New York Herald says :
Ibo President, it appears from several con?
versations with seaatois, has hit upon anew
method to secure a repeal or modification of
the Te ure-of office act. The senators are
among thc most clamorons. applicants for
places, not, of course, for themselves, but for
their friends und fobowois. Tney urge fbat a
clean sweep should be made of most of the
parties now in ouico, because chev aro either
straight oui Dem oe ais or. what is deemed
?verse. Johnson ?zed Republicans. To a senator
wno used tins argument the other day tho
Pre-hdant objected :
"But you have tied my hands with your Civil
Tenure act. aud how can I remove these men ?"
'.Wo will coa-out to it as tho law pr?vidos,
and that settles tho nutter," interposed the
senator.
"Yes, buihow do I know who you want re?
moved and^uo retained? Yon know nearly all
tho men now m offieo wcro confirmed ny the
Senate,'' said tile President.
I his was a pooor f jr tho senator, and ho did
not pursue, tlio subject nny further. He was
not tl w, however, in communicating tho Presi?
dent's views tJ several of his colleagues in the
Sonate. Like himself, most ot them aro eager
to have Ibo political guillotine put speedily in
motion, and one of them prob bly expressed
the sentiments ut all the others when he ex?
claimed, "Cv G-, we must repeal that ?et at
once. If wo don'c we will be little better off
than when we ad Johns m in the White
House."
The President raakos no secret of bis deter
m<naliou not to make removals except for some
cause othor than a d fference iu politics until
the Teniuo-of-offieu law is repealed. H J has
so informed a large number of senators and
membcis who have called upon bim for tbe
purpjso of having obnoxious political oppo?
nents removed. The members of the Cabinet
are a unit in supporting tbe President in his
desire to have tho l'ouurc-of-ofike act repealed,
and lose no opportunity in miking thoir senti?
ments known. Said the Attornoy-Genoral to a
senator yesterday : "Sir, we cannot run the ad
miuistralion successfully oxcopt that law is re?
pealed." The last few aays have, without
question, witnessed a decided chango in tho
minds ot senators with regard to the obnoxious
measure, and il is a general opinion tbat when
tue subject next oonie? up in the Senate tho
vote will be a very largo ono in favor of ita re?
peal.
A letter dated a day later, to the Baltimore
Sun, says :
Tho Senate Judiciary Committee bas bad
several talks over the Tenure-of-office matter,
and it eocms to be sottlud tbat the maj >rity
will roport a modified bill similar to the one re?
ported at the Just session by tho Committee on
Retrenchment.

A letter from Chattanooga to the Cincinnati
Commercial contains the following :
It is now definitely ascertained that A. J.
will not go to Europe for tlio present, but will
return to his old borne at Greenville, tiie last
of ans week or the first of next. At loast his
frionds at that point aro making preparations
to re?oive him about that time. "After that,
what ?" Why, about three sneeches a day dur?
ing the coining summer. The talk about his
being president of a prospectivo railroad, and
coing to Europo to negotiate bonds, is, un?
doubtedly, all gammon, tor that sort of em?
ployment docs not egree with his natural
tastes. As president of a railroad, ho could
notrevonge himself for tho aouse heaped upon
bim by Brownlow and Stokes and a host of |
Radical politicians in this State. To bc sure,
he might refuse to dead-head them over his
road, out that would not be thc revenge that
ho likes. His great forte is to get up before a
thousand or two of people and express his
private opinion of men ind measures in plain
English; and that he will do, so soon
he becomes rested, if wo may be?
hove those who have good ground for
knowing. Whether he is a candidato or
not, will m alto very little di deren ce; he
will, undoubtedly, take the stump, and speak
in nearly every county in the State, during
the coming summer,*and-the result will be
seen in the August election. With tho militia,
high taxation, anda fot ty million debt to car*
ry, poor Stokes will have to face the lion under
adverse circumstances; and if wo may judge
tho future by the past, Billy will como out pret?
ty well used up, tor tho "oldest inhabitants"
say that Andy never stumped tho State without
leaving his compet? or about tw -thirds dead
at tho end of the race. But, in old Whig and
Democrat times, they did not have franchise
laws, test oaths, and like modern improve?
ments. But, with i rownlow gone, Stokes
whipped out, and Johnson roaming at will
from ono end ot the State to tho othor, the
franchise law will have lo be strong, or it will
fail- to hold hi ??.
