Townsend, of Illinois, in an able argument in the louse last week, enumerated a number of instances in which the lower branch of Cong;ress had tacked political mnelasures onl ip propriationh bills. During Polk's ad ministration the declaration that "war existed by the act of Mexico" was passed only by tacking it to an ip propriation bill. Subsequent legish tioti In regard to the war was passed In the same manner. In tlie first Republican House, when Banks was Speaker, the majority tacked it pro vision to the supply bill forbidding the President to interfere in the Kansas elections. At this time, Joshua I. Giddings, the father of Republicanism, maintained for his party that the House was merely exercising its con stitutional prerogative in a legitmate manner. The present is at precisely analogous case, with the parties re versed. Cominig to ltater1 times, tie Radical majority in 1867 engraflted ttpoi an approiatltion bill i clause providing that the general of the army shold remai in Wtashington, and not be sett elsewhere except at his own re qiest, and that the President, should transmit no order to any ollic,r ex cept through the general of tlie trmy, under penaltivs, and providing fine and .imprisonnlent to any subordinate officer obeying such ''irregular'' coom miands. This was in (lirect Contra vention of the Constitution, which intakes the Presidet conntnatnder-ini chief of the army and navy. Presi dent Johnson, stubborn as he was,. and by ito means afraid of interposing his veto in political measures, not withstanding this special piece was anl insult to himi and anl inlfrinlgment of his unquestioned powers, sigued the 1 bill under protest, siinply because it, was at appropriation bill, and he could not stop (te supplies. About the same time Wilson, of Iowa, another ia(i cal, proposed an amendment to tile supply bill that., whenever a circuit judge of the United States decided against the constit'ttionality of anl act passed by Congress, he would have to be sustained by two-thirds of the Supreme Court, or otherwise his decision would be unheeded. As but eight judges were on the supreme bench at that time, six would have been required to overrule ant unon stltutional act of Contgtress. All thjs was dotne in the htaley'on days wh'len the Republicants cotmpri'sed about three-fourths of' Cotngress anud htad (lie armyt at their back. Even latet', Gar-t.t field htitmself putshed( thte sutpervisor' and depty~ matrshal act thtroutgh ini an approp)ritiont bill, against thtepro tests of (lie iority. Twuo thing's are shown: frst, that atn unbroken line of' preccedents jus titles thte D)emocrats in thteir pret'tt p)olicy ; antd secondly, that each ptaty has been alterntately the (defetndetr anid the oppontetnt of this peculiar p)ower of thte Hlouse to Coerce the Sentate andt( thte Presitdentt. Ont the whole it, is plaini that the D)emocr'ats are ntot revolutIonary; atnd that it conies with bad grace from thte lIladicals atnd from Hayes to howl about a thittg that they often did, esp)ecially whetn they tied to imipeach Attdy Johntsoni for inter posinig his veto. The D)emnocrats at'e getting along pretty well now. Politics of the Week. The polities of the counttry has beeni cotncentrated dttring the past week int the House of' Representtatives at Washligtont, where the prtop)ositijon to repeal the act tallowintg the pre'senice of troops at thte polls5 was fiercely debated. The moore striking featurtes of the debate hav'ie already beent givetn. The leading sp)eeches wet'e mtade by1 Gai'feld for theo Reputblcans attd Blackburn for the D)emocrats. The former w~as atn intcenitary htatratngue, based upon a continuous tissue of' failsehoods, as was clearly shown ini Bilackbuirn's reply. Hlurtd, Demtocrat, of Ohio, made theo calmest and most arguitenitative speech of the week. Robeson, Grant's ex-secretary of the. navy, who came necar beig impeach ed for frauduletnt contracts andi( ex ponditures during htis term of' offiee, made a speech well adapted to the elimate of RussIa. He Itimated that the time might como whten "the tman on horseback" would be calledl ont to disperse Congress as Cromwell dis ,solved the Long Parliament, and N~apoleon putt out thte House of' Deput ties. The debate closed anid the voto was taken ont daturday. The amettd mont offered by Now, of Itndlana, that the repeal shall not abridge - or. aft'eot the right and duty of the Exeutive to respoud to a call of a State Legisla ture or G~overnor, was agreed to by it vote of eighty-live to four, the Re puiblicans relfraining frout voting oil cither side. Altelr Several amend imenits had been o1'ered and rejectedl the Conilluitlc' arose and reported the bill to the Il,iiue. All uunmportatlt umiienidniieit s Vere tireed to iithout division. The bill then pa' sed by ta vote of yeas 118, nays 122-a strict party vote. The Greenibackers voted as tol1ows: In the afillrmlative-1)e Li NI1ttyr, Vort, i0le, , Jones of Texas, lladd, I.mwe of A lahama, March, St'evensoii, Weaver, 'okumn; in tihe negat11VV-'h;irlow and Forsythe. The result, wiis ree.iVed1 With tipplause on the 1)cmoeratic sile. 'T'he (reeitba'.kers made their first )pearuIce ol Frithiy. Weaive, of lowa, said that the )etocralic party, liike Moses, had got to Mount, Pisgaih, but would never reach the 1'ronised Land iin J,is. Weaver, It will be re mneimbei'ed, wIas elected by Democratic votes. This is anll evidence of how iuch meni atre to be trustted. The bill Yoes to the Senate where another pro Lracted debate is to be expected. The L'resident has not yet expressed him 5elf openly, but Zrck Chandler, wh' vow makes atost daily visits to the White Illouse, contidently asserts, 'We've go. limrl." The I'resident's /eil t'r (hir elections Is rather strange. ,OItsiinlgtil, the way lie was Counted [in by the aid of troops. Indications ire that the session will be prolonged t0r months, with the result undecided. The spleechcs of lillckblurn, 'T1'nsend .1(d others put the 1)emocrats on strong grould, atid slow that they Ire mnerely li)l(owinlg inl the track of i long series of precedenlts in tacking )n legislation to appropriation bills. LHayes himself', whenl in Congress, roted to impettehi Andrew Johnsonl for vetoinlg bills passed by Congress. Alnother st ro11ng point inade by Black mil-ur is that repeahing. acts eannot be revoItiOiary. Thev are merely tringinig the law back to where it was it first. One of tlie ineasures now to b)e repealed was tacked to lint atppro )riation hill rushed thIIrough by the [laulicak. It is certainly iot wrong .o repeal it in tle satne way. The ilr doutful't point. in the Demuocratic >o1ition wa"l tle eingrai rtiug of incon ruions legi-lation to appropriation )iIIs. This be)ina settled by reference o the record, the I)enocrats can now ;o on to lhe end. A (it-...
