Tlie Proposed Appropriation tor tnelr
li* lief.
We havo already given a briet synopsis ef |
the debato in tho United States Senate on the
3d instant, which preceded Ibo rejection of ?ho
olau.e in tba Civil Appropriation bill appro,
printing $20,000 to rebuild the Orphan Asylum
of tho Sisters of Mercy. We make some fur
thor extracts from tho full debate as repeled
in tho Congressional Globe :
Mr. Howard. X trust that Tknow ho-v to 1 p
preciate tho sit vices of the ladies interested
m thia claim; but, sir, il is unt to b.' for ottou
that their profession is tho doing of good to
perons in distress, tho poor, tho s>ck, the
naked, tin destitute. To ihm objoot thoy are
by their profbsidon devoted. They are set apart
tor thone purposes. J hoy aro us much, how
evor, Biibject lo the control of their ecclesias?
tical superior, tho bishop of tho diocese, asuro
any other of his subord natos, and I apprehend
that although we uiay make this gratuity, ns
it is called, to thom personally, they will dorivo
no benofL from it whatever, lt will bo to thom
no compensation; but the fund, if it should be
thus appropriated, will bo applied according te
tho direction ot their ecclesiastical uupertor,
and to such purposes ns he mav soe flt to ap?
ply it to. The quos ion would be somewhat'
different if the money which we are called
upon to appropriate was to go into the pod ets
of these devoted women. I suppose, however,
it will not. * '
How, sir, I am unwilling to moko a distinc?
tion between tho Sisters of Mercy or tho Sis?
ters of Charity, ladies belonging to tba Roman
Catholic Church devoted to these doods ol
well-doing, and other ladies belonging to Pro?
testant Churches at tho North and at tho South
who have evinced an equal spirit of devotion
to tho country and to toe offices of huniaudy
and of Christean kindness. There are ail over
tbe country thousands and ? thousands upon
thousands of those devoted ladies who in our
hour of need gave their services, and many of
them their fortunes, the r healths and their
lives to the cause of the cou i try, who have not
como forward hero to ask any such plausible
recognition as this on the part of Congress,
but wnoso servioes, compared with those ren?
dered by members of the doman Catho lio
Otu rc h, certainly aro equally meritorious, and,
ba my humble Judgment, incalculably more
meritorious to the cause bf the countiy.
Mr. Uendiicks. The only d.ffiuulty that pre?
sents itself in this case, as 1 think, is this:
that property which is destroyed in battle,
whether the property of the euemy or the prop?
erty ot the supporter H of the govern mont, is
not to be paid for. That ia the general propo?
sition; and the proposition is absoluto in re?
gard to individuals of the enemy's co au try as
In a war between independent nations. But I
think that doot ino ought not to be applied te
the case of a chintabie institution destroyed.
Amoug nations a oharaable institution wouid
not be regarded, sn loonld not be regarded, as
a publie enemy. I suppose tba- it a great
power were to conquer a country, and, in the.
progress of the war, had dee troy ed one ot the
instit .tiona ot'charity, it would not bo incon?
sistent with the duties of that nation, in tukum
possession of the resources of ti,o country con?
quered, to restore that charitable institution.
Wo do we would n >t all think of making up to
individuals the losses a us ta ned in tho war. it
would seem to bo ?erv proper to restoro an in?
stitution of charity whioh had fallen under tb J
proceontion of tho war, for tho reason t hat 'an
institution of ohaiitv c arnot bo regarded as an
enemy. Its nature torbids it; its mission tor
bidB it.
Now, Mr. President, this institution, worth
moro money, as I understand from the sena?
tors'from 'So ti th Car, lina, than thu appropria?
tion proposed-, was .destroyed during the bom?
bardment of. Charleston. I uuderstaud, aa
suggested by a senator noar mc, that the in?
stitution waa worth twioe the amount that we
propose to appropriate. What was that insti?
tution? The aonntor from Michigan save it
was owned by the bishop. I do not know who
owned it, ad 1 do not care who owned it. lt
is enough to know that the little ohildron, who
are to bo proteoto 1 by men with hearts in then
bosoms, of all nations a >d under all circum?
stances, that little orphan ohildron Without fa?
thers to care tor thom, the children of the
State, were fed and clothed in that institution.
It was not established, it was not maintained,
it was not oontinued for the purpose of giving
aid to the military power of any section; bat it
was maintained, by whomsoever owned, for the
purpose of feeding and clothing little ohildron;
and ha and that government, that provides for
the orphan has Ood's blessing, lt is not unbe?
coming the government of the United States,
when m the dreadful casualties of the war a
ch a-dable institution like this has fallen, that it
shall he'p to reai* it again.. lt is proper for'tbe
reason that it is a chanty. We do uot bestow
charities by appropriations mado by Congres.,
but we may i ea tore that whioh tho prouecu ion
of the war haa destroyed.
The senator from South Uarolina is acquaint?
ed with the facts, and has made his statement.
Thea these Sisters, as I claim the taot to be,
upon the statement of the Benator from South
Carolina, hare extended their kindness to the
soldiers of the United States. There is no
ejuestion of loyalty or disloyalty involved. It
is a question of a destroyed home of the
orphan, destroyed in the prosecution of the
war, destroyed in the taking of a city whioh it
beoame meoessary, in the proseuulipn of the
war, to oaptoxe. Shall we make this nppro
priation of $20 000 ? X do not care whether
that charity in its legal ownership belonged ? o
tho bishop or belonged to the Sisters. There
is no question that the institution was used
propeny for the highest pmposea, and it is not
for the individual benefit, when it is restored,
either of the bishop or of the Sisters; it is for
the benefit of the orphan; and being consultent
with tho laws of war, and ?equired by the laws
of charity sud kindness anl m JIU! it .?" I ohour-o
to respond to the appeal that is made.
Mr. Frelinghuysen. I do not look at this
sn j ct in a sectarian view or desire to invoke
those feelings and pre indices. I look upon it
as a proposition to take go mnoh money ont o?
the Treasury, and as guardians of i he Treasu?
ry the question for us to determine is whether
it is our duty to vote it or not. Now, this is
eithe - a le cal nairn against the United States
or it is a gratuity. ? It is not b .?th.
Mr. Morrill, of Maine. If the senator will
allow me, hs co nmittee put it si oply on tho
latter ground, that ic is nothing more nor less
than a gratuity.
Mr. Freliughayaen. But the senator fro a
Indiana puts it partly on the ono ground and
partly nn the other. It is titb r the one
thing or the other. Ia it a claim against this
government to pay tor tbs bomb ramon of
property m Charleston, of all p aces in thia
w rid for a legal claim te come from ? Ibo
ssnator saya that we re not forbidden by the
law to nay for the destruction of institutions
otoharity. Neither? are we forbidden by tho
, law to pvy for private moper ty. rho ques?
tion is w nether there is any obligation o? law
upon us to pay for either in an enemy's- omi try.
Then tho senator from Indiana plays mtu
that word "orphan ;" and a mun must be very
callous whose heart does not make sjme re?
sponse whenever that word is mentioned; but
1 would remind the so.inter that within the <aet
ten days tho Committee on the Judiciary on
an appeal being made to the Senate lo vote
money for tho orphans of ibo so'die va who wete
killed at Gottyaburg, for institu? ions w.hioh oro
there established, not sectarian'' in thoir char?
acter, felt it their du*y to report aud advice
this Bonnie not to make the appropriation. Aa
toits being a gratuity, all I have to say on that
subject, is tba. if we enter upon that line of
gratuities we enter upon a lins whioh has no
timi ; for there ia not a State in the Udou,
there is hardly a neighborhood at tho .North,
that has not had similar institutions lo pro?
mote the welfare of tho patriotic soldiors of
this country; but they never hs ve thought of
coming hore to ask the government to reim?
burse them for thoir charity. W.iy should wo
nat make an appropriation to the Christian
Commission, to the American Bible Socitty. io
the Tract Society ? Why not to th? hundreds
of nurses, and Burgeons, and ohap'ain* who
went voluntarily to the field? Mr. President,
this wav has been* a weight upon the nation; it
has furrowed the whole laud with gravo*, and
the people now groan under the burden of
taxation; and I trust that that whioh was done
in charity will remain a eharity. and thu. they
may seek their reward from that sou roo from
wl.ioh they expected to receive it wueu the
' charity was performed. *
Mr. ftawyer, I o< g to call the attention of
th?* Senate to this fact: that in the Henri!? m
States, daring the war, a whole raeo of poople
were taken from the protection bf thoms who
had before that : itel for thew animal wont a;
that the nation, looking, at their co?.lu iou.
P'.saed a law, called them the wnrds of tho
nation, and appropriated immense soto* tu
charity to thoso mon; that tho whole Southern
l ind wau spread ovor with the chtfrities of the
United States to t hose people, who had become
ina certain so-se orphans; and that hero wo
have tho amplest precedent for a charity of this
hind. Ia this case the orphaus wete turned
on of bonse ami home upon tho world, and
their guardians deprived of tb** power of pro?
tecting them by the ao -identa of war, whilo
those guardians at that very time wcro minis?
tering to our wounded and s ck. When the
honorable senator from Missouri denies that
they wore tho moans ot savin? thu lives of our
own soldiers, I point lum., to tho testimonials
ol (louerai Scott, General Sicklos, Goners!
Sherman, and other distinguished officers of
the American army, whose names aro all ap?
pen led, not to this claim; tor these ladles
make no claim; not to anv petition to Con?
gress that ihey may bo runburied ior the less
ot their property; hut those officers do petition
Congress that tue services ot those ladies may
bo recognizedi and that they may bo put in a
position again todo that charitable work whioh
the accidents of war havo taken from them the
povvo to do.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont. I think a plain
statement of this oase will show very clearly
that it ought not to be considered by tho Senate
of tho U .dod states. Tho papers came here
more than a >ear ago. The Sisters ot Mercy
started upon a mission to procure aid from the
North, and obi ?unod letters ftom various indi?
viduals with that view. They started out for
no other purpose. But when they reached
W; s lingi on Homo kind friend, rather than put
bis hand in his own pocket and contribute,
advised them to como to Cougross fdr rcliof.
That was the character of tho papers which
were, referred to tho Committee on Claim ';
and being considered by the C mi-nit too on
Claims, tho ease was unanimously reported
against. It scorns that these Sist rs of Mercy
had a building in Charleston for tho instruc?
tion of orphan girls and a residence for them?
selves, both of whioh wore more or less
damagoo daring the bombardment of thal
city. The government, through its officers
then stationed there, repair 3d their dwelling
house nd made it complete again. Such was
tho evidence that was before the Committee on
Claims.
Now, Mr. President, if this claim is to bo al?
lowed as a gratuity, or io any oth'-r form, why
cannot the owners of any school house or of
any church in the City of Charleston, or in any
other spot thst has been destroyed by the
armies of the United States, ooma forward with
equal graoe for a gratuity on the part of
Congress? - I do not understand that we are
almoners-ibo dispens?is of the charity of the
United Stales. If there is auv charity, to be
bestowed, let us put our hands in our own
pockets.
Mr. Robertson. I wish to add a few words in
supp rt of the amendment reported by the
Committee on Appropria ions. It seems to me
so obviously just an 1 proper that I mnst ex?
press my surprise at the opposition that has
been made to it in the Senate. H re is an insti?
tution devoted to the care and m.detonan o of
omhans m the City of Charleston, under tho
charge of the Sisters of Mercy who. according
to tho evidence presented, performed manv acts
of kinduees to the Union prisoners io thai city.
During the bombardment of the city the
building was almost destroyed. General
Sickles, whi-n ho was. in com maud st Cbanes
toa, would have had the building ropaitod, but
upon an examination it waa ascertained that
il could not bo repaired, it' having boen so
much injured by tho shells of our forces. The
Hist ors ol Mercy now ask to hav > their building
restored in order that they may be enabled to
take caro ot the orphans in thoir charge. This
is surely ono o? the greatest charities in the
world. These orphaus need the protecting
arm of tho Government. Their former insti
tution being untenantable from the dustiuc
tion caused by our sh ils,they are n JW confined
iu a small, narrow building in an unhealthy
part ot the city, ?hero a great m my of thom
will suffer and probably die from disease con?
tracted in th tt unhealthy locality. These
Sisters simply ask enough a d, enough charity
from this government '?settable them to restore
(heir buildicgs, and 1 sitiero ly hope that the
Senate will grant their request.
Alter some further discussion the amend
ment was rejected; yeas twenty, nays twenty
two. Absent or not voting twenty-four.

Pl? ut ?rs from Horace Greeley.
IFront the New York Tribune.]
Hardly a (southern papsr reaches us ont has
editorial comment of somo sort on the pros?
pective crop of 1869. lt is generally conceded
that it will bo large rf tho season is at all favor?
able Somo ed tors havo the sagacity to fee?
Ibat saying so muoh about a great crop this
year will have a bad effeot on that part of tile
crop of 1868 whioh remains unsold.
Now, friends at the South, before your dou?
ble ploughs have thrown ail the Tan t into
ridges for cotton rows take time and give this
whole business of agriculture a sober second
thought. You have jost come ont of a great
war iu whioh you were worsts i. The weakest
thing in the boutbern military service during
that war was its commissariat. A strictly agri?
cultural people, having aa much pride ol acres
as any landed aristocracy in the world, wore
from the first, and m all stages of a four years*
stnte, weakened, hampered, thwarted, demo?
ralized, and finally defeated, for want ef beef,
com, wheat, bay and oats.
A great war is like a severe illness: it tries
th} constitution and unmasks tbs weakness of
the s> stem. Tba agricultural system of the
South has been proved defective, because in a
protracted fight the breach appeared there
first. Now. what is the gre ?t characteristic of
planting? lt is, and from the first has been,
the deriving of a large income in olear money
from a broad surface, by the sale of vegetable
prodoois. A small planter is one whoso ac?
count sales ot cotton or tobacco, rios cr sugar,
do not fi j uro up more than $5000. The salea
ot tne large planters range ali th? way f-om
$3000 to $100 OOO. A few. a very f< w Southern
proprietora received ovet $100,000 from a single
crop. That mode ot deriving an nico ne may
nave been coona ?ted with the character and
status of the laborer; but auch eonneotion was
not inseparable. A slave eonld cradle wheat
or fatten bogs if ordered to just as well as he
con ld piok cotton or sucker tobacco. Slavery
hdd inherent sins enough without charging it
with blunders that were not. in the nature of
things, inseparable irom unpai i laoo% From
the ti.no o? Pocahontas the Southern domain
was divided into large estates. Those who
surveyed an 1 plotted it felt as Brutus did
about Caesar's bedy.- "Let us oarve him as a
dish flt lor the gods, not hew him like a car?
cass for the hounds."
These broad areas were eleared and cropped
by sport-loving men, for whose ears the bay?
ing of a aok of fox bounds was sweetest
music. Put a man with these tastes st the
centre of a twelve bundi? 1 sore t act, and
what will ha do? He will have as swinside
f neos as possible; he will matte his mousy on
a ot op ibat will east bim the le*nt tune or

No, gentlemen ; you will be wiser and
more provident thau that. You will see that
while there ia some money in cotton and to?
b?ceo, there is in it little undo, wealth or powor.
little of that which makes nations great sud
k??ps ?lu m so. The South has never been
sufficient!* dovo'cd to the production of arti
O es ot prime necessity. Mankind would be
butter off if frost or worms shou d destroy
every tobacco plant (hat apronta thia spring.
Cotton is a f ?ry important toxtiie; bit nations
w.TO elad, ami well ol ad. before BU Wai! noy
was bjrn. Agriculture moan* thf culture of the
fields, not skimming and des*.patinar them. En?
joying tho best climate and ploughing tho beat
noil on tho continent, the Sonaron ato import?
ed bread drank ?mnortod wigtaygave his hands
imported pork,' shod thens with Imported
leather, and buckled an imparted s iddle on the
back ot a horse that had travelled a thousand
miles Southward to find a purolinsor. When
f>uoh a people went to war with States that fed
and clothed them, the result was inevitable.
Julina CoTMur with his tenth legion oould have
delayed tbat exchange o notes at Appomattox
Court boos?, but he could not nave made it im?
possible.
In profound poaoo, with ? strong, silent, vig?
ilant man at the wheel, tho country is entering
upon a d"cado of material prosperity and de?
velopment that wilt be more amazing than the
H.air tutu lo and. the obstinacy of the r count
strife. What tue B ?nth wants above all otlior
things, iii'- not disfranchisement or enfran?
chisement, oFujuau in tho Ca bi not, nor even
a high price for"good rqpJdling. but an seri?
cultural system that i ? mino, just and lasting,
flor land baa bad no Sab'.? -.th; there has boen
no restoration* The balance between tho liv?
ing and tbe dead products of farming was
destroyed, and must bq regained. No lands
that aro not often renewed'by the mud of in?
undations can survive such uri exhaustive suc?
cession as the planter ha? Scquirod of his cot?
ton and tobacco fields* L tes :
A lost fertility must bo restored. That sa?
vagery of broom-sedge am! brier-thickets must
bo abolished. But tho purchase ot a few
thousand tons of guano will not work the de?
sired chango. Those pitoapbatio stones on
Ashley River alone will not do it. Tho South
thinks sue needs manufactures-and so she
docs. .But artisans and operatives will not
movo there till good root! and good cloth are
I 'ss costly. These will riot be more abundant
till there are more good) barns and well-de?
signed farm-yards ; till (hose poor, wild cowa
aro replaced with Durhmns, and Herefords,
and Aldernevs; till those razor-back hogs are
killed, and Suffotks ,mtx Chesters take their
pince; till they have fatter chickens and more
of them; till potatoes, and oiwbages, and ap?
ples aro cheaper. Cotton alway s was a weak
king. Ho was full of pride, and vanity, and
wea kn et-s. Ho urged hip subjects into an un?
equal strife, and then showed no influence at
courts to make allia ice;^'"- secure open ports.
He gave the planter*? family pocket money, a

fields. If ever king at, all, he was King Stork.

thoir friends and followers. They urge tbat a
clean sweep should -b1 made of most of the
parties now in ouios; because they are either
straight out Demoou't.s or. what is doomed
worso. JohU30Uizad Republicans. To a senator
who used this argument the other .day tbe
Pro*idvint obj ec tod :
"But you mive tied j*iy hands with your Civil
Te miro act, and ho.v cn I remove these men ?"
"Wo will con-out to it as tba law provides,
and that sotties tho matter," interposed the
senator.
"Yos, but how d? I know who you want re?
moved and Who retained ? You know nearly all
tho men now m ?Sop were conlirined by the
Senate, ' said the Pr -sidout.
....'lilia was?fim^tl-n tho senator, and ho did
not pursue tho ay^jooti any lurtber. He was
not slow, howuia^trp^inrau?doating th? Presi?
dent's views fltWvon-To?'nis colleagues in the
Senate. Like himself, moat of thom aro eager
Si have the political guillotine pat speedily m
oudu. and one of them prob bly expressed
tho sentiments oi all tho ethers when he ex?
claimed, "liv O--, wo must ropo il that act at
once. If we don't we will be little better off 1
?Lian when wo ad Johns m in the White
House.'"
Tho President makes no seorot of bis deter?
mination not to make removals except for some
cause other than a tl florence in politics until
thoTenuro-oi-offloo law is'repealed. Hi has
so inlormed a large number of senators and
members who have called upon him for the
purpose of having obnoxious political oppo?
nents removed. The members of the Cabinet
are a unit in supporting tho President in his
desire to have the I onure-of-office act repealed,
and lose no opportunity in m iking their senti?
ments known. Said the Attorney -General to a
senator yesterday : "Sir, we cannot run the ad?
ministration successfully except that law is re?
pealed." The last few nays have, without
question, witnessed a decided oh ange in the
minde of senators with regard to tho obnoxious
measure, and it is a genoial opinion tbat wben
tue subjeot next conies up in the Senate the
vote w?i be a very large ono ia favor of its re?
peal.
A letter dated a day later, to the Baltimore
Bun, says :
Tho Senate Judioiary Committee has bad
several talks over the Tenure-of-ouice matter,
and it seems to bo settled that, the majority
will report a modified bill similar to the one re?
ported at tbe last suasion by tho Committee on
Betronohmont.

A letter from Chattanooga to the Cincinnati
Commeroial contain? tho following :
It ie DOW definitely ascertained that A. J.
will not go to Europe for tbe pieiont, but will
return lo hi? oil home at Greenville, tho kat
of thia week or the first of next; At least his
friends at that point are making preparations
to receive him about that time. "After that,
what ?" Why, about throe noeeohes a day dm
lng tho coming Brimmer. The talk about his
being president of a prospective railroad, and
gome: to Europe to nogouato bonds, is, un?
doubtedly, all gammon, for that ?ort of cm
ployaient do&? Dot asrao with hlb natura?
tastes. As president of a railroad, ho could
not revenge bi naso li for the aouse heaped upou
him by brownlow and Stokes and a host of
Radical politicians in this State. To be suro,
ho might refuse to dead-head them over his
road, out that would not bo tn o revenge that
he likes. Iiis great forte is to got up before a
thousand or two of poo pl o and express his
private opinion of men ?nd fhoaeures in plain
English; and that he Will do, so Boon
as he becomes rested, if we may be?
lieve those who have good ground for
knowing. Whether he is a candidate or
not, will maka very little diff?rence; he
will, undoubtedly, take the stump, and speak
in nearly every county in the State, eluting
tho coming summer, and the result will be
seen in the August election. With tho militia,
high taxatiou, aud a forty million debt Ui car?
ry, poor Stokes will have to taco tho Hon under
adverse circumstances; and if wo may judge
the future by the past, Billy will come out pret?
ty well used up, tor the "oldest inhabitants"
say ttiat Andy never stumped the Statu without
leaving his compet? or about tw -thirds dead
at the end of tljo 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 one end of the State to the other, the
franchise law will have to be strong, or it will
