Thad. Steven*' Attack upon Secretary
SlcCnUtxr* and the President-Ex?
citing Discussion.
The telegraph has already notified
us of the assault of Stevens on the
Secretary of the Treasury aud the
President, last Saturday. The fol?
lowing extract from the report of the
proceedings of Congress on that day
gives the particulars of the affair.
The tai Lill hoing under considera- !
tion in committee of the whole :
Mr. Stevens moved to amend tbe
sixty-fifth section by striking out
that portion which gives the appoint?
ment of a *'Special Commissioner of
the Revenue" to the Secretary of the
Treasury, and to make it read that
the said Special Commissioner shall
be elected by concurrent action of
both houses of Congress. He said lie
did this for the purpose of prevent?
ing the Secretary of the Treasury
having more patronage, because he
was prostituting his high office to
party purposes. A member of this
House vent to the Secretary, this
morning, for the purpose of obtain- j
ing an appointment in his District,
and he was asked whether the party
seeking tho appointment was with
the President in his policy, and tho
Secretary distinctly stated that he
would make no appointment excep t
of parties who sustained the Presi?
dent. It is time we build up a wall
to protect those who sustain us. The
Secretary of the Treasury, by this
action, has been guilty of a malfeas?
ance in office, and other subordinates
of the President have also asserted
that appointments will depend upon
the feeling of the applicant upon the
question of the President's policy.
We should let it be understood that
we are here as the grand inquest of
the nation, and will pass upon these
matters. We are recreant to our
duty, and recreant to the interests of
the country, if we do not stand by
those who stand by us. It is time
we say to our friends'that we will not
permit them to be destroyed by the
recreant tools of a recreant President .
A member of this House culls upon
thc Secretary of the Treasury to ask
for an appointment for a constituent,
and he is questioned as to the politi?
cal status of tho applicant, and is
told by this Secretary that, in these
appointments, ho consults a certain
recreant and apostate Senator. It is
time til is were rebuked. Let this ap?
pointment, at least, bo taken from
the Secretary, and lot Congress elect
an c Ticer, as it has a right to do.
Mr. Morrill, of Vermont, said ho
deprecated such language, and i
grettel that the amendment had been
suggested. He had striven in this
bili to keep politics as far away as
possible from the Secretary of tho
Treasury, and would vote against the
amendment. He had not agreed
with all the Secretary had done and
said, Tout he regretted exceedingly
that this subject should have been
broached. The Indiana speech of tho
Secretary was sound and good, but
the speech the other night was in
very bad taste, and very unfortunate;
but ho (Mr. M.) still hoped politics
would be kept far away from the de?
partment.
Mr. Hale, of New York, called at?
tention to the fact that the Constitu?
tion clearly and plainly prescribid
how and by whom appointments were
to be made. Mr. H. then read the
article of the Constitution giving the
appointing power to the President,
and he argued that Congres* had no
power of appointment whatever. He
diduot knov whether tho provisions
of tile Cor.sl 'Lution would have any
weight with the gentleman from
Pennsylvania, (Mr. Stevens,) but ho
hoped it would have weight with the
committee. He would inquire of the
gentleman from Pennsylvania (Mr.
Stevens) if he proposed to over-ride
the Constitution in order to punish
the Secretary of tho Treasury for his
"very wicked" speech the other night,
and his "very wicked" remarks this
morning to the member who applied
to him for an appointment.
Mr. Stevens said this was not an
office, but a mere agency, an?! the
appointment belonged to this body.
The gentleman from Vermont (Mr. \
Morrill) suitl lie desired to koep poli- j
tics out, of the Treasury. It was for|
thia very purpose that he (Mr. S.) i
hud proposed this amendment, for j
the department, it seems, is regulated ?
by politics, and not by finance; and
the Secretary of the Treasury is pros
tituting his high office for unholy
party political purposes.
Mr. Delano, of Ohio, said that, as :
ho read the section of the hill re?
ferred to, the Secretary of the Trea-1
snry was empowered to appoint a
"special commissioner of revenue,"
and consequently ho was most cer?
tainly au officer, and this House had
nothing whatever to do with the ap?
pointment. In what sort of an atti?
tude would thia committee place
themselves if they took the power of
this appointment from the Secretary?
What has the Secretary of the Trea?
sury done to provoke this attackV Ia
he a slave, that he must not speak
his sentiments? Does he not have
an opinion of his own? Must we all
square our opinions by a regular line,
at the dictation of an individual or
individuals? An officer of the Go?
vernment can have his opinions, and
utter them if he wishes to do so. Just
j such acts as these were creating a
' very had sentiment throughout the
I country. Why has tho Secretary of
the Treasury boen denounced?
Mr. Stevens.-I denounce him be
; cause he is prostituting the patronage
I of the Government so as to make all
: think as he does.
! Stevens persistently refused to give
i his authority for this charge, when
I the discussion was terminated l>y the
i committee rising.
t a pit al nuil T.nlior foi- tin- South.
We notice from time to time th?
departure from the Southern States
i for Europe of agents in the interest*
of Southern railroads, and of various
! manufacturing ami industriiduvctivi
I ti<>s. They go to borrow capital foi
the purpose of resuscitating the for
j tunes of tho South. Beauregard ha:
! just started to Europe on a mission o
j this kind in behalf of the Louisiam
I Railroad, ami several of the Georgi:
?nd Virginia lines are about to b?
represented abroad by commissioner:
with a similar object in view. Wc
trust that success will crown thesi
efforts. There is no reason wir
the capitalists, who loan their mon?-;
to almost any of the industrial enter
prises of the South, should not rea]
large returns from it. The incompa
rabie resources of the Southon
States are but in the infancy of thei
development, and their growth fron
! this time forward should be mor
j rapid and vigorous than ever before.
Besides tinsse efforts to obtain capi
tal from abroad, we observe that.flier
is more or loss activity in attemptin
to secure European immigration fo
thc South. Almost every State haf
for this purpose, a Bureau of Im mi
gration: and though f?'w of th
; Southern States are, at this moment
1 in a condition to display such activit
I in this line as characterizes the Wes
tern States, yet all the Bureaus ai
of some value, if it bc only in th
way ?>f extending invitations to se
tiers. Louisiana and Texas, howeve
are in a sufficiently sound financi
ami industrial condition to do sonn
tiling more than this; and a residei
! of the last named State, who hasher
i visiting Great Britain for the pnrpo!
j of encouraging immigration to til
South-west, has come back with tl
report that labor and laborers to ai
extent can b?> obtained. We ho]
the Southern States will systemati:
their efforts in this matter so th
those vast and fertile regions mi
obtain what they most need-ski]
ful, industrious and honest cultiv
tors. Immigration would not into
fero with the opportunities of tl
i negroes for obtaining a livelihoo
for in the Southern tier of States,
least, every man of any color who
willing to work has a superabundan
of profitable employment at 1
hands, and from many quarters
I the South we hear constant and ear
I est ?*alls for more laborers.
* Tt is probable, moreover, that tl
j summer will be a peculiarly favoral
! feason for procuring a largo immigi
; tion from Europe. The whole con
neut is agitated with the prospects
a general war. At such a time te
: of thousands would be glad to ? sea
j to a country where peace is pern
' neutly secured, and where opporl
'< nities ure held ont to industrio
people such as are not approached
any other country of the world.
Texas, especially, wo aro confidenf
heavy German immigration might
speedily turned. There are large s
tien lents of tliispei.ph> there airea?
and though tho persecutions they ?
I dured for their loyalty during the
! hellion are wi^ll known abroad, ;
, the hurts that the power of tin: Uni
j is now firmly and finally fixed, a
: that order ami freedom aro puru
I neut ly established, ure equally v
1 known.
Capital and labor-these are what
are chiefly required in tho Southern |
States to secure their futuro pros- <
perity. These are what tho enter- j
prising men in tho South should try
to secure for it. "We are glad to see '
that they are making efforts. And, |
so far as hes in our power, we shall
try to aid in forwarding those efforts.
