As to the impudent paragraph of Miss Field quoted above, it needs only a few words, but it richly deserves those few. We have nothing to say on the vexed question of the religion of Mr, Dickens, for lack of knowledge. Our concern is with his silly eulogist. Sho speaks of his \inability \ to attend Church, and immediately defines that «inability \ as consisting in the circums« stance that \ the sermons did not please him 1\ She appears to have wander- ed so mournfully far from her Father's House as to have forgotten that \ the church\ is built and opened not only that sermons may be preached and heard, but that there the humble, pen- itent, needy, grateful soul of man or woman, in this tempted life, may breathe out its confessions, lift up its raises, ontreat forgiveness and pesce, ear the promises of heaven, and re= clevo the comforting sacraments of the Redeemer's grace, with kindred hearts around it, What would Mr. Dickens have over known of \ God's beautiful world \ if no churches had been raised for Ctod's worship ? What would his dreams of immortality have been worth if sunsets and hedge rows had been his only teachers ? 'This senti=« montal twaddle had become a great deal more stale and flat when Miss Field was writing her school-girl com. positions, than the most \ ordinary ser- mon\ that ever taxed the novelist's tender \physical and mental\ con- stitution. She takes some pains to in. stilt an intellectual profession--waiving now the sacrednass of it-which in re- sources, mental power, and effective- ness in influencing and leading men, surpasses any other; a profession from which Mr., Dickensand his class might learn more wisdom than they ever gave it, however much that might be ; 'a profession every member of which boars a burden of demand on mind, and heart, and nerves of which Miss Field has not the opportunity or capacity to ; a profession in which each pa- tiont workman, by eight or ten years of studious preparation, has attained a degree of discipline and scholarship for which Miss Field would not be less useful or loss modest; a profession which has, in every city where she opens her unguarded lips and displays her single piece of fireworks for the year, some representatives who, for solid intellectual work, year in and year out, will bear comparison with the most entertaining platform speak- ors in the land, The lecturer's pathet- io appeal for a hypothetical heathen, | ism is too touching to be touched. The irreverent reference to the Crown of the Crucified gives melancholy evi« THE BAYONET ELEGTION BILL. Grant's Game for Re-election, Speech of Hon. Charles A, Eld« ridge, of Wisconsin-Shall the People Govern Themselves ?t Mr. Eldridge said: Of all the legislation proposed by this or any other Congress there is none, in my judgment, more unwarrantable and unjustifiable than that proposed by this bill, Itis absolutely atrocious It has no warrant in the Constitution, and no precedent, unless it be in the act to which this is amen- datory, in any previous practico of the gov- ernment, Aside from that it stands alone, original as it is hideous and revolting. It has not the merit of one redeeming provision or quality. It will bind the several States hand and foot, and deliver themover to the Fed- eral government subjugated and helpless, the mere tools and slaves of Congress, (This bill # law, and the law acquiesced in by the peo- ple, the States and all State institutions and laws, so far as rights and powers are con- cerned, are absolutely overthrown and blotted out. Thezexixtence of the States and all their institutions can only be in -the name; they cannot act or move except by the permission and will of the Federal power. Sir, this bill is the crowning act of centralization and con- golidation. Stealthily and by somewhat measured step heretofore has been tha march of Federal power upon the rights and juris- diction of States ; but this reaches the point aod accomplishes State destruction by a single bound, by one grand act. It brushes away at once and finally all State machinery and local authority, and substitutes in their place the Federal bayonets. It not only subjugates and subjects all local and State offices and officers to the Federal will, making them the instrm- ments of its execution, loading them with paing, penalties, and forfeitures for its neglect, but makes them criminals for obedience to the laws of the State wuose officers they are, and. to which they are bound by their solemn oaths. It creates a hoat of new offices before unknown, and fills the land with spies and informers with large pay and emoluments for their fil- thy work, It establishes and ordains a mul- titude of crimes heretofore not known to our law. It seeks to overawe free American citi- zens and control their votes by the menace of the sword and the presence at the voting precinet of the soldier of the army. , It places for ten days at and before the time of elec- tions paid agents, two or more at each voting place, in the interest of the majority of Con- gress, to \ scrntnize,\ manage, and control the votes of the people, to secure by fair means or foul the continuation in power of a corrupt and radical Congress,. Mr. Speaker, no fair- minded man, no disinterested, unprejudiced man, can read the provisions of this bill with- out being convinced that it has its origin in the interest of an unscrupulous and desperate party. It bears on its face and in al! its pro- visions the clearest evidence of its origin and purpose, not to secure, but to prevent pure and fair elections,fnot to aid the voter to ex- press his own unblassed judgment, but to awe him into submission and control him against his conviction. Its very title is a false pre- the support of a most infamous measure : An act to enforce the rights of citizens of the United States to vote in the several States of this Union, The falsity of this title will be perceived by reference to only a few of the provisions of the bill imposing conditions upon and throw ing impediments in the way of free suffrage. In the first place, by the first section of the bill, the Federal government takes full and absolute possession of the registry of voters provided for by any of the States of the Union. It takes possession and control of all the State officers provided by State laws for the administration of the registry laws of the States. It adopts the registrations made by the States in the following proviso :; That every registration made under the laws of any State or Territory. for any State or other election at which such Representative or Delegate in Congress shall be chosen, shall be deemed to be a registration 'within the meaning of this act, notwithstanding the same shall also be made for the purposes of any State, Territorial, or municipal election. Notwithstanding this it imposes penalties, and denounces as crimes acts of such officers in corformity with and in obedience to the registery laws of the States. It provides for the appointment of supervisors to guard and dence that, to a more sesthetic relig- \ scrutinize\ the registrations and elections, ious sentiment, a road from Calvary to Olympus, draary enough to be sure, is open, and easy to find. Tromeondous with Fatal Results, whose duties among others, as provided by the fourth section, are thus defined : They and each of them are hereby authorized and required to attend atall times and places fixed for the refiistmtion of voters, who being registered would be cutitled to vote for Representative or Dele- Storm Attonded in Congress, and to challenge any person offering to register. .

Tho Governor has succeeded in impeaching the Lieutenant Governor, the Lieutenant Governor has succeeded in im- poaching the Governor, and the two have succeeded in impeaching the Chief Justice who presided at their respective trials. Now, after the law has settled all it can, they talk of resorting to arms, If they can succeed in killing each other as they have in impeaching gach other, a republican nest will be pretty effectually cleaned out. all times and places for holding elections for representatives in Congress, and for counting the votes cast, \to challenge any vote of- fered,\ to remain with the ballot-box till the last vote is counted, aud to themselves count and canvass each and every ballot whatever may be the indorsement on said ballot or in * whatever box it may be found.\ And these supervisors are authorized and required to make and attach to the returns any state- ment touching the truth or accuracy of the registry or the truth or fairness of the election; any law of any State notwithstanding. The sizth section provides that thes* eupervisors shall, on the day or days of registration, 0° the day or days when registered voters may be marked for challenge, and on the day 0\ days of election, take, occupy, and remain iD such position -or positions before or behind the ballot-box as their judgment may dictate. And‘when the polls shall be cloged they £18 required to place themselves in such position with reference to the ballot-boxes as they may choose for the purpose of canvassing the votes, - All these things may be done without regard for and to the exclusion of the officers appointed to do the work. Mr. er, I might stop here. Ihave shown by the more statement of these provisions of this these provisions alone no sane man can bo- lieve this is a bill \to enforce the right Of citizens of the United States to vote.\\ It must be seen that it is a bill to prevent, hin~ der, and delay citizens in voting. I1 provides a system to drivé citizens from the polls, and to disgust all honest men with our elections. But the worst of it is yet to be considered. tence, if not a lie, adopted for the purpose of ! defrauding the people and cheating them into bill that the title is an untruth. In view of |d THE NIAGARA DEMOCRAT. And first let me remark that this hew and cumbersome machinery is not confined, 28 some have supposed, to cities having upward of twenty thousand inhabitants The bill is drawn, apprehend, - to - suggest this view, and - to - divert attention from its true intent and meaning. ever, in any city or town having upward of twenty “misting inhabitants,\ &c. The word © town \ must be taken in its popular sense, and will be construed in this bill as synony- mous with township. It will extend to any rural town or township, and every town hav- ing a population of 20,000 will be covered I}? this provision. These officers then can be appointed in the great majority of the 616531-l tion precinets of the United States. They wi swarm over and throughout the length and breadth of the land, and their name will be legion. They will be an electioneering force such as was never before organized in any country on earth ; such as no free country can or ever ought to tolerate, But two of these partisan agents ia each election district in cities and towns having upwards of twenty thousand inhabitants are only a small num- ber of these créatures of the Federal power authorized by this bill, is we shall see when we have looked it through, when we shall consider the other appointments by the United States marshals which will be made and to which there is no limitation. I said the worst is yet to come. - section the marshal of the United States is empowered, and it is made his duty, on ap- pligation of two citizens of: any puck city or town, to appoint \ special deputies,\ whose duty it shall be to attend at all the times and places specified for the attendance of the su- pervisors. The pretence of their appointment is to preserve order, kesp the peace, and rup- port and protect the supervisors in the dis- charge of: their duties. They are to prevent fraudulent registration and fraudulent voting, or fraudulent conduct on the part of any offi- [ cer of election, and immediately, either at said registration or polling place or elsewhere, and either before or after registering or voting, to arrest and take into custody, with or without process, any person who shall commit, or at- tempt, or offer to commit any of the acts pro- hibited by this act or the act hereby amended, or who shall commit auy offence against the laws of the United States, The power to arrest is also conferred upon the supervisors. In addition to, all this, the tenth section pro- vides \that whoever, with or without any authority, power, or process of any State, territorial, or municipal authority,\. shall in any wise \interferes with or prevent the su- pervisors of elections, or either of - them, or the marshalor his general or special deputies, or either of them;\ in amy way required of them, \ or shall molest, interfere'with, remove or éject from any such place bf registration or poll of election \ \any supervisor of election, the matshal,or his general or special deputies,\ or attempt to offer so to do, or shall refuse or neglect to aid and assist any supervisor of elections or the marshal or any of his deputies when required, shall be guilty of a misde- meanor and liable to instant arrest, with or without process, and on conviction thereof shall be punished by imprisonment not less than one year nor more than two years, or by fine not less than $1,000 or more than $3,000, or by both such fine and imprison- ment, and shall pay the cost of prosecution. But to cap the climax of the enormity, to outrage every sense of honor, propriety, and decency, to insult and trample upon all law, and make the liberty of the citizen a delusion and suffrage a pretence and a snare, it is pro- vided by the twelfth section that all these great and little satraps, the supervisors, the marshal and his deputies, may, when they shall see fit, summon to their aid the by- standers, a posse comitatus, and require the commanding officer of the nearest United States military or naval forcesto enable them to accomplish the purposes of their appoint- ment.: Yes, sir; the bill requires it; the biggest fool the marshal shall be able to ap- point his deputy will bein command of the army and navy of the United States, \ And it shall be \ (L use the words of the bill) \the duty of such commanding officer upon such requisition being made to obey it. without delay.\ There is no alternative, no discre- tion, no delay. The highest and the lowest military or naval commander must instantly obey the deputy marshals created under this act. 'The President of the Unized States, the Commander-in-Chief, must be subject to such order, The voice of Congress is the voice of omnipotence.. It has made the rule, it has established the regulation. President, generals, lieutenant-generals, major-generals, brigadier-generals, and all are subject to the command of the most insignificant deputy marshal of the United States, Was there ever so supremely ridiculous and absurd a proposition ? This bill not only places the States, State officers, and all local State authorities, but the United States, all United States officers, civil and military, and all the powers of the Federal government, under the control and at the disposal of these elec- tion officers. L Mr. Speaker, it may perhaps be deemed undignified and small to look into th_e lesser deta1}s’ of this grand scheme, this grand electioneering scheme, as I look upon it; this scheme for propping up the waning fortunes of the party ; but it ought to be understood. It will do no harm to look into and count the cost of this new departure in politics, and see as well as we can about how much of an \ elephant\ we shall have on our hands. 'There is to be in each judicial district one chief supervisor of elettions, who is to furnish all necessary books, blanks, forms, &c., and do and perform a great many other duties, with most extrav= agant fags for his services, the aggregate of which will depend upon the work he will find to do, and which no man can estimate in ad- vance. As we have already seen, there will be two supervisors of election in each election precinct in every city and town of upwards of twegty yhousand inhabitants. The mar- shal will, in each of these election precinets, appoint at least two special deputies and as many more as he shall see fit. Being a par- tisan, and anxious to carry the elections in favor of his party, he will of course appoint Just as many as the exigencies of the case “111W seem to require. He is not limited by 2 e act, I estimated, without pretending to ntire accuracy, that there will be of super- visors and marshals from forty to fifty thou- 111ml throughout the United States. It may ehmore. These are exclusive of all those “171 o may be pressed into service from among thzzbzstfié‘dem at elections. 'The bill provides te shall be allowed and paid to each and every supervisor of elections,and each and every special deputy marshal,\ compensation at the rate of $5 per day \ for each sod every day he shall \ actually have been on uty not exceeding ten days,\ Here, then, it will be seen is a grand army of electioneer- O18, of tens of thousands of party oliticians, and a fund of millions of agilars 1:0 be paid from the public Treasury for the work to be performed, Every one of theso supervisors and depqty marshals will receive at least $50. It is of little account that one of these The language of the bill is: \ that when- By the eighth | other. Scarcely any two men can be found who are not of somewhat different politics ; go there will be no difficulty in having them all of one party, And if this be not so, no such thing is required in the selection of the deputy marshals. They will certainly be all on one side, and all ready and willing to do the work of their masters, and may outnum» it pretended that our bill of rights is re- pealed by the \ fifteenth amendment?\ Has the adoption into our Constitution (even if it were legally and validly done, which I deny) of the declaration that \ the right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be de- filed or abridged by the United States to arrest any and all citizens without warrant and imprison them without a trial or hearing? In giving the right to vote to the negro have we subjected every citizen of the United States to the indignities and outrages provid ed for by this bill, in attending the polls for the mere purpose of trying to vote? By con- ferring suffrage upon the colored race have we lost the rights our fathers secured to us by the Constitution? In giving freedom to the slaves have we become slaves ourselves? of this pretended fifteenth amendment confers no power upon congress to pass such a measure as this bill. Itis at most only & prohibition upon the United States and the Statesas such -upon them in their legislative capacity, the only capacity in which they can act-prokhib= iting them from discriminating against any citizen on account of \ race, color, or previous condition of servitude.\ It makes void any act of the United States and the States that should make this discrimination. The power to punish individuals and impose penalties for the violation of law or obedience to State provision. And, sir, is it possible that any one will be' found bold enough to attempt to de- fend the constitutionality of this measure under section 4, clause 1, of the Consfitusion? for Senators and Representatives shall be prescribed in each State by the Legislature thereof; but the Con- gress may at any time by law make or alter such xéegultations, except as to the the places of choosing enators. Congress may at any time make or alter such regulations. Can arbitrary arrests and imprisonment, without trial or warrant, be justified under this provision? Can State officers, for obedience to State laws, not alter- ed by any act of Congress, be made criminals and subjected to the penalties of this bill ? Can the army and navy be placed under the command of any marshal's deputy and marcked indiscriminately against the citi« zens and officers of States on & bare suspicion that they contemplated resistance to some outrage of such deputy marshal ? Will any gentleman argue that under this provision or any other provision of the Constitution the United States may take possession of the registration as well as the elections of the States, determine who is qualified and who not qualified, who shall and who shall not register, to the exclusion of all State authority, as: provided by this bill ; that the govern- ors of the States and all other State officers can, under penalties, be required by the Fed- eral government to serve as its officers and do its bidding ? Sir, the proposition and all such propositioas ara too absurd and prepos- terous for a candid answer, There is no constitutional warrant for this measure. It is rank. usurpation and revolution; it is an insult to every citizen of the republic ;it is hostile in every feature to liberty, and vio- lates every fundamental idea of repubican government; it will bring war and blocdshed; it is intended to awe the free men of the States and drive them from the bolls They will not submit without a struggle. There will be many a man, accustomed to cast his vote without hinderance or molestation; many a good and true citizen, faithful, law-abiding, and patriotic, who will feel more like firing a bullet than casting a ballot through the spy and informer paid from the people!s Treas- ury, which this bill places before and behind the ballot-box, to obstruct, not facilitate vot- ing. The hypocritical cry of \ Let us have peace \ will not avail in the face of such measures as this. The peace cannot be hu- miliated much farther; they will soon have borne all they can ; they will ere long assert their soversign right and power to be free; and they will teach Congress, too, that its members are the servants not the masters of the people, and that the people have, under our system, the right to govern themselves. Senator Sumner's disease is called neural- gia of the heart, causing violent spasms in which the heart ceases action, attended by intense pain. 'The physicians, Drs. Bliss and Keene, first administered bromide of potas- sium, which reduced the severity of the spasms but did not stap them. They then had recourse to a more powerfal remedy, and administered injections of morphia, which proved efficacious. The physicians say that he will not be able to resume his duties in the Senate for four or fige days, and that he ought not to do so this session, any violent exertion or excitement being likely to bring on a second attack, that might prove fatal, The Senator is undetstood to have a speech in preparation giving further expressions 0 his views upon the San Domingo question, and defending the position he assumed in the debate upon the subject. n_ A Galesburg farmer, whose pew rent was raised to $25, exclaimed : \ Great Cesar, here's a nice state of affairs-the gospel going Its must be apparent to all that the language | laws must be found, if at all, in some other- The times, places, «nd manner of holding elections |.
