Arc. Correspondence of tbs Dvutesrat aad Chronicle. WasttSGTO.v, Dec. 22, 1371. Now tbat tbe famous debate in tbe senate is over the less satd aliout it the better, perhaps Tbe only thing regarding it that is pleasant to contemplate is its soncliunon.

After 1 last wrote yon the discussion assumed a doz-n different phases, and drifted from one position into another. Monday was such a day as tbe senate docs not see once in a decade. Tbe Democrats made a good deal of hay, for it was their sun which was shining. V.r. Bayard of Delaware devoted an hour in raking together into a heap all tbe ebargea against tbs administtation wbich have seen the light since 1S68.

The only way in which hia speech, or the greater part of bu speech, obtained any pertinence, was by tbe tait a ssnmption on bis part tbat bis whole business was inaugurated and carried on as a crusade against Grant. It may be an assumption which dors infinite injustice to Juuge Trumbull; bnt finds every corroboration in the turn which affairs took on Monday. The debate started on tbe resolution naming the committee of investigation and retrenchment, with Seuator Buckingham at its head. The completion of that committee was a good handle lor the op position to work and they did work it as vigorously as though tbe world held no greater martyrs than Trumbull and Scharz, and martyrs because they were not named on this committee. It was a mistake in policy not to give the minority Republicans any representation.

The chairmanship did not belong to tlietn, because it was not nnder the Trumbull resolution tbat the committee was appointed. But odc or two members oat of the seven would been ia strict accordance with parliamentary rules. It would not nave added one iota to the efficiencT of tbe committee, however, and so was immaterial, save as a matter of form. It seemed rather pitiful to hear the gnat Sumner poor out bis ire in thunder tones, because a lortn was overlooked. Wben Senator Frelinghavsen chastised him for setting np straws and calling them pyramids, the great philantrophist visibly winced.

Senator Logan scented ia tbe make-np of the eornrnitt.ee an excuse for one at his atorms. (I do not like to call tbem speeches. He thunders, and lightnings, and gesticulates, and But his ranting are for effect. His soreness shows itself in the shape of slandera, implied aud impressed, and invective which tries to take the shape of ridicule. He is a second edition of Tipton.

Nobody thought it necessary to reply to him, as nobody had thought it necessary to reply to Tipton. He was the only man wbo spoke on Monday who did not elicit a reply: and so the mill was kept grinding from 1 o'clock until about 10. Toward the last the debate became attenuated. It bad been thick with personalities. Tbe ammunition was exhausted, and the senators, driven to manufacturing more, were obliged to talk about each other in an unbecoming and undignified manner.

Messrs. Trumbull and Edmunds had a sparring match in which the former lost hia temper, and as a consequence received a severe shastising. Senator Edmonds is a bad man to tackle in a debate. He is keen as a razor and cuts unmercifully where there is provocation. When the debate dwindled down to a conclusion, rt was from sheer exhaustion.

There was nothing to be said which had not been said already a hundred times. The senators were cross and angry. When Sebator Wilson presented his peace offering amendment there was no one to object, and it was handsomely adopted. Senator Conkling attempted to clinch the matter by calling up his previously presented resolution, instructing tbe committee to investigate into tbe general order abuse in the New Tork custom bouse. Senator Trumbull objected, with an unbecoming show of temper, and clearly made a mistake in so doing.

Doubtless he wanted the credit of presenting that resolution himself or he wanted it for bis fnend So bun He bad been rather loosely charging tbe administration senators with opposing him for the pnrisjae of covering up fraud and shielding the president from the responsibilit.es of fraud. Conkltng's resolution turned his flank. It gave 6 lie LO IJIS CUlD. trr v. i- kicked over tbe personal capital be had been manufacturing.

It 'eft bim clearly in tbe wrong. It was very natural for bim to object therefore but it was very unwise. IT LOOSED 9jBaXLT Tuesday morning. Tbe Conkling resolution came np early, aud efforts were immediately made to provoke another diaussion. Schurz offered an amendment.

Blair auother. Bayard another, Tipton another of which be was not the author. Bather 'han continue a debate btch had already lasted too long, Conkling accepted each amendment as it came tip. These amendments, apparently good things, were really bad ones. Tbey weaken the efficiency of tbe new committee by overburdening it with work.

Tbey diffuse its duties fearfully and diffusion is latal to thoroughness. Even San Domingo could not be left out. This sort of thing received a fitting rebuke midway, ia the sbaiee! the tircsident'a message. Tbe message clinched one thing among others it justified tbe administration senators, ffghtinaand defeating that part of the Trumbull resolution which made all the disturbance. I mean the clause directing the committee to report methods of relorming the civil service.

That olauae was a condemnation of the work of the Curbs commission before it was tried or even known. It will be enough to condemn that p'an after it has failed. There is no doubt out that it will be put into practical operation on the first of January. There will be civil service ref arm enough to suit the most clamorous trom that day on. It is a tremendous experiment.

Its path is full at difficulties. Its success in many of the details is doubtful. But it is a beginning, and a big beginning, in earnest-t aii-s Sumner was standing on bis feet when tbe president's message was read. "I bail tbat communicatian with joy," said he. Poll-, ticians and office-holders, to say nothing of the pesnie, can afford to agree with Sumner on this point.

AMSESTT was the subject of tbe story in tbe senate on Wednesday and Thursday. Tbe debate was sufficiently full to establish tbe status of tbe aenate on this question A good deal of regret is expressed that the bill failed to go through 1 before adjournment. But in spite ot its failure now it will pass so seen after the re assembling as a vote can be reached. There have been I many conversions since amnesty was last dia-j cussed in the senate. Senator Scott is ons of tbe most notable' of these, I and bis speech on Wednesday may be ssfely called the most effective of his lifr-.

I Senator Alcorn made his maiden speech. It created a must lavurable impression. Mr. Stun ner made a grand flight for the bill wbich he dub the "supph njeutary civil riithta, graot-; ins to negroes equal privileges by law iu hotels, conveyances and schools. Hia appeal for sup-: port is seid to have been one uf tho raost elo- i at id his lator years When the vote was resebrd, bis bill developed unexpeecied I strength, sad it seems likely that it will become la under his vigorous pressure, before this congress coda And se the natn wark in the middle oi so unfinished job- It has flatbed a good deal these first three weeks; but we may look fur work iu at aaal when it comes together again- ABO I HlHiUt MEASOEKS AMI MKS.

A vi ijf law words will oorer the work done by the house this week. Mr. Boar's bill, providing for aeomaiastou to inquire into tbe relief capirai and labor, proved te he a tempting, bait tor those members wbo are at Hi, leal wiii tbe eotatkrt toousads not a dan-. -us disease but as prevalent as soul: -pot in Vt aebington just now.

we are told, to send twenty-one native young Isdies, daughters of daimioe, to America lor tbe purpose of finishing their education. Tbe question now arises whether these yonnjt ladies will instruct tbe American miDd or tbe American mind will instruct them, and it is really a srtious one. A correspond! nt of the World has thought about this matter, and thus expresses bin self New. sir, I frankly adaiii that I do not care a buttonf.iicn tbe Japanese. We all know what tbe result of this scheme will be.

Tbe Japanese itb. attejr spending a Tear or two in some female school, will return bomc with the usual amount fa nii-infurmation on alt eonoeivahle subjects end tbe rutomary unfitness for anything nan awbich baraeteriae American girls. It ia SiSie iver rxtssibie tbat Mrs. Woodhull aad tier like ay indoctrinate them with loose views nf the manaee relation and a desire to exereise tle rght of suffrage. Of course this result will be a Oisa itrous one to the Japanese, but.

as I bare taid I Oo not care fur that. My objection to tbe eo snug of these Japanese girls ia of another cat are. I fear tbe ioflueoee which they rosy eve 1 upnn my own and my neighbors' daugbii n. I know to ay SSSt With what admvratii a the Atueriean girl looks upon a loretgiier of noble birth. Tbe erooout tbe visits of the prince of Wales, Prince Arthur, md Alexis have eost me iu ureases sud bonnet lor aiy daughters is positively frightful.

My g'rls are like tbe rest ot their sex, and their adciiraitoa for Alexis is soeh that they have all their yiung men acouniut slices to imitate the fashion of tbat vounr prince's tjlotbes in every reepeet- Nu. sir, if tbe Japanese girls come here tbey will at once set tb- fashion in dress and in everything else. TLey are fori igners. they are noblej and being ol tie fijicale sex theit "manner can at once be imitated by our ovn irls. Jiut think what tbe result weuld be Already nt daughters have begun to twist their eyes almond shape hv putting gbib on their temples at night and thus contract ng tbe skin.

When on.s tbe Japanese girls resell here ebatever they do will become the larbion Oaf Amencm women will dnss tberosetijea in bagy breeches and silk Shiit, and I fluey I can see Ibe sort ot dgace aav will's 'ther, wbo is nesrly sir feet high, will make in that dress. The Japanese women, I understand, black thair teeth and stain their eyelashes, aud of course our worura will do the same. American young men will alo be required Ii adopt Japanese customs, so thai the practice Df hari-kari will become fashionable. Young lien will rip themselves up whenever they aie crossed in love, and in turn we mid-dle-aKcei men will be required to disembowel ourselvei when anything goes wrong in our business! Put tbe worst practice of all is the Japanese habit ol public bathing. It' Japanese rii-tum- become the fa-bioa.

our fahiaaable women tnll hesitate i nothing which tbey may be required to adept. We shall see ladies tak-int; theit morning baths on tbe balconies of their bouses, aud men and women indiscriminately plunging off the docks together.

Cis a uaKol debt be legally collecteil 1 John Mo -riseey wants $10, ikjO of a wealthy t'incicnajti banker for an old debt of this kind, and bas brought suit to recover it. We clip from the Cincinnati Conimeraial of December 30th On tbe, night of Febnarv 20th last, at about 11 o'clock, a well-known Cincinnatian, of large fortune and occasionally of very large and liberal views of matters and in general, seated himself among tbe players at tbe faro table in John Mumssey's house, number 2 West Tv.enry-fourtb street." New York.

He was somewhat under the influence of liquor, and, of course, owned the world and was in luck. 'in his mind. He started in to do tbere what he bas sometimes done bere, daring the last ten year-, in the way of a big play. He was not disposed to 'change in" any money. His word was xood for 'chips to a limited amount, as be was known by reputation to some of tbe people ol tbe bouse; and was accompanied by Bolly Ls-wii.

So lie played on his credit, and lost, to lose, until there were "mark-era" against him iu the 'chip raek" to the amount of aliout 3,000. At this point Wilimui If. Mead, one of the managers ot tbe house, stepped forward, tapped him en tbe shoulder, and remarked that he had better quit, as the house was nor in the habit of turning hiab into the thousands against markers, particularly thjse of comparative strangers. This suggestion was made in a tone ana manner calculated to be inoffensive. Tbe Cinciunatian was sligbtlv nettled, bowever, and insisted on playing, declaring that he was good for a ten thousand dollar losing at any time his friend Lewis would vouch for tbat- Mr.

Lewis did vouch for it; he declared Mr. to be a man of honor fat least be had always found bim such), worth birlf a million, and aa good as his word in paying a Oebt of honor. Mead was reluctant to ailow any further credit play, but at h.st consented tbat ube indebtedness should reach tZ, 000, or be wined out.

Mead calhd at tbe Cmcinuutian's bote and reminded him of tbat it'debtiiiucss; a draft or a check would be very aidant! way of cancelling it. He wa met hy'tbe reply that he ought not to have allowed tbe play. To make a long story short, tbe Cinciunatian positively wasn't inclined to pay just then, at any rate. His brother, wbo was ia New York' at the time, was apiealed to, but would not move fas lae gamblers lavor, and tbe loser returned to this ciiy, leaving bis word for in the drawer of tbe batik, where it remains to this hour.

A coupon eorrespoml-inaJy cumbered is attached, and this is given to tbe voter ben he registers, to be pressnted sli be easts his vote.

The common trick of repealers voting upon another man's name is thus prevented. This is not unlike the method of registration of tbe in i'aris. Ope of tbe most heartless swindles lately brought to light In New York is called the wlmg-msebine dodge." A poor girl had savedjup a few dollars, aud was beguiled by an alverisemeut statin? that girls were wanted to sear on machines.

Mr.

Hoar manages bis commission bdl with great skill for a man who is so new in the congressional harness as he. They call him one of the rising men here I guess tbey call him rightly but I am still sorry that he brings to his career as a statesman so many of the Boston isms. He is one ot the converts to tho woman's suffrage movement. At the recent convention here he was paraded on the stage very much as a milliner would parade her new goods. I suspect, too, tbat in thinking over this delicate and difficult labor problem, be bas imbibed a little too freely at the poisoned fountain of French communism.

This only a suspicion, remember. Because a man is the slntere friend of tbe laboring classes it by no means follows that he must gnd excuses lor tbe crimes of the commune. Tbere is "abroad, clean, sweeping distinction, to borrow a phra.se from one of Mr. Sumner's speeches on Monday. We will trust Mr.

Hoar is wise enough to sec this, although we know tbat Mr. Halderman, on the Democratic side, is not. I had intended to say ago that Mr. Hoar's labor commission was a most excellent and timely piece of legislation, and that the house bas not wasted tbe week it bas devoted to its consideration and passage. It waa time wisely spent.

ISrENDCSO I.EOISLATIO. This week an immense deal of legislation has sprung up ia bill shape, and heen referred to the appropriate aommittecs. Like the similar legislation to which I referred in my last letter, not much of it anaanxani any general interest or importance. Mr. Cox has finally succeeded in getting his international copy-right bill under good headway I should be proud of tbe forty-second congress if it should make this a law.

Bat I have no idea that it will. If Mr. Cox ha talked with many members be must be sadly discouraged. Let ua give him credit for his perseverance, even though we are sure it will be unsuccessful. It will do no good, but it can also do no barm, to wish bim a God-speed.

SEW TORK MEMBERS. Tbe two Mr. Roberts of Xew Tork have this week introduced, one a bill and one a resolution whioh is noteworthy. Hon. Ellis H.

Roberts's bill provides that hereafter fifteen per cent of customs duties shall be paid in legal Under notes. Should this bill become a law it will be a long step towards the resumption of specie payment-All wno have tbat matter at heart will wateh its fate with interest. CoL W. K. Roberts's resolution was an affair, which was summarily andproperly voted down.

Becsuse we have sympathy for the murdered students it does not follow that we are bound to tumble head-over-heels into a war with Spain. A3 CTfTBOFrrABLB DAT. The boose spent its last day unproStably. No business was done. Half a doxen members who bad speeches to make to tbeir constituents delivered tbem first to empty seats in the bouse.

I cannot imagine a more discouragipg -set of circumstances than that under which Thursday's speeches were made- 1 am not sure that tbey were worthy of any better attention than tbey received. The Missouri Blair made one sf them. It was an argument in justification af slavery and rebellion Think of it in these days and in tbe face of history I sigh for such men as Blair. They would do better to be cracking stones for a livtng. Tbey would be useful tben.

In justice to tbe Missouri Democrats, I must add that as many of tbem as were in the ball promptly repudiated the simple sophistries of their colleague. And so sangress adjourned. Many members bad previously hastened to their families and the Christmas turkey. Many more have atnee gone. A goodly number, too, will remain in Washington during the holidays.

These have been a profitable three weeks. Another letter must show you more fuily bow, why and wnertin they have been profitable. TOX. METROPOLITAN PRESS OF SATffliDAY. TnE Tbtbc-vb says of "A Martyr to Free The first necessity of a great cause is tbe pos session of a martyr.

Though we are assured by the copy books of our youth thai truth is mighty and will prevail, tbere is no coramoiity that requires sueb liberal advertising in order to bring it into general circulation. Money wid buy vice, but since the world began tbe price paid for truth has been blood. Wben John Brown went forth to the scaffold bravely exclaiming, "I am jriersuaded that I am worth inconceivably more to hang than lor any other purjiose, be fnretold tbe knell ot slavery. Wben the (ruvernmi-nt of tbat eon-tradictorv, inconceivable M.

uepuuiicanism iu r-ngiaad is young. ivora obscurely, not knowing who were its parents, tbe poor thiag haa languished for want of proper care. Adopted recently by Sir Charles Dllke, it has gained in streugtband stature, only needing a baptism in bbs-d to attain a riper de-velopemeut. That bas come. It i- not the martyrdom ot a John Brown or of a Rosael that we have now to record but WUliam Seho-field, aged fifty-six, is no less a martyr to free speech because of bis being in bumble life.

On December 7tb, William Scbofield, a laborer of Bolton, died from injuries received in the tern -peranee hall, while peaceably listening to Dilke's very sensible and by no means revolutionary address on the distribution uf poltti -al isiwex. Eisewheie, Dilke's arguments in favor of a republic, ol a truer parliamentary representattou, ot reforming, or, better, abolishing the house of lords, have been answered by howls, cheers for a queen whom the youug member of parliament bas never attacked, spasmodic singing and showers of red pepper. Burning to tesent tbe ngbl of iniepeudent criticism, scorning weak retorts, inflamed by ly ing placards, primed with driuk and armed with stones, bricks, bludgeons, hammers and other weapons, tbe rough and ready royalists of Bolton proved tbat Britons were not infant for slaves, by a coutinual attack upon the windows and doors of the hall in which tbe Dilke meeting was assembled, an til one side of tbe building became a complete wreck. Had this high carnival been held in a where, according to the London Telegraph, "rowdyism is a Europe would have told to gaze npnn tke license uf democracy had the assailauts. been partisans ef Dtlke, England wonld have been shown the fearful consequences of Republican doctrines; but tbe rioters were loyal subjects of the er awn, which makes a difference.

Certain rules do not work both ways; tberelore the police did not interfere. Temperance ball waa sacked, William Scbofield waa killed, a wife became a widowaud three children were made fatherless. Well done ye uood and faithful servants. Enter ye into the United If) Kingdom of Great Britain. It Dilke bad not had the courage publicly to avow what many other Englishmen acknowledge ptivatcly, that the best form of government is republican, William Scbofield would now be slive.

The press, so far as it seeks to influence tbe question, should endeavor to enlighten rather than mislead mem tiers of the legislature. The World, nnder the heading "Eviscerated Amnesty," says Tbe amnesty bill discussed in the senate is the measure parsed by the boose last session, and amounts to no general amnesty st alL It except all officers of the old army and navy joining the confederacv and all the senators aad representatives wbo in 1861 left their seats.

It has been intimated that tbe reason congress so persistently refuses to relieve these old lesders ia that tbey might possibly be re-elected, and in that case, if -itent no otherwise, would at least lie the most vigilant, tireless, ioescapable of critic. Their old training would give tbem tbe skill and their long exclusion tbe disposition to watch the saints like so many hawks, and in tbe face ol this kind of scrutiny jobs would fall off. Sow, wben a Democratic member rises to rebuxe a game" it passes as a matter of course this man never knows anything about it and tbat one set it tlown as 4 party talk. Tbe exposition falls flat. Tbe same men have bean talking about the a line things till the puoiie ear is dull.

Bat let such old Boftnerge as Toombs say, assault one of the Hon. Jim Nye schemes or a little macaroni whitewashing by Adonis Conkling and wbat sport it wrtuid bet How the whole country would listen and what excellent result pubheitv would give It would be the joy ol the old" fire-eaters' lives, could they ever at back into congress, to lay for" jobs, follow them np and down and iu and out. through a thousand tneafWeritigs if necessary, to committee and from committee and in report and out of report, until the sleek weasel would be nabbed at last. Whatever else these srath-ein leaders were thy were honest: they bad clean hands: and perhaps it is a knowledge of tins fact, with the farther reflection that their exasperation would make them most uncomfortably vigilant, that leads the Republican majority to keep tbem out. We have seen in the Trumbull resolution debute bow abborreut investigation is to the leaders of that majority, and to this same dread of publicity their constant mangliog and maiming of amnesty is dae.

Whoever ele the country can drive them to enfranchise tbey will never, except at the last extremity, let tbe old members in. Tbe ostensible reason ii tbat given tn Mr. Grant's message, tbat they are "great criminals distinguished above all others for tbe part they took in opposition bo the government, bat the secret is that alacn-tv witb wbich tbese criminal would solace themselves for being called rebels by proving tbeir censors thieves. Congressmen would no doubt suffer bat the people at large profit. So wrong is exposed it is not so much matter wbo are the investigators or what their animus.

Th Hebxld discusses tereste Before Congress i Our Shipping Ib- The members of congress who are most active in the matter of providing some remedy for the depressed and siloing shipping interests of the country begin at tbs wrong cud. bMtead of giving Ike utmost freedom to our capitalists anu merchants to bay ships where rer tbey can get them best and cheapest, and thus add to the tonnage of tbe United States, as well as giving tbe profits of tbe ahippiag business to this country, tbey are infest on pro-moling some little mte-eat of a few indict iu-a or of some small section of tbe rej.ub i The bill which Mr. Lynch, of Maine hasjust subs milted ooorreae, and wbich bas been referred to the committee on commerce, bears this character. The state ot Maine, or a portion of it. is interested in shipbuilding, and, therefore, Mr.

Lynch, wbo is representative in congress from tt-at s'-ite, proposes to tax every ton of foreign -hipping that enters our ports, and to pay four dollars a ton per year upon all American Vessels engaged in foreign trade. A tonnage tax of thitty cents a ton on foreign vessels, as pto posed by Mr. Lyncb, would not amount to a vast sum in tbe aggregate to not more, probacy, than 0U0 a year; but it would iiar heavily on a certain class of vessels- A 4, 000 steamship, for example, would bave to pay a tnx or duty of $1. 200 every time she entered lbs Yoikorany otber United States port. Al! this would tend to restrict commerce; snd, after all, the American consumers of goods brought in these loreiga vessels, and American prssen gers and emigrants earned in them, would bave to pav the tax.

lk-iiies. it is doubrfnl if this would bave any perceptible effect in stimul.itinK ship-butldins. The principle is wrong, contrary to the spirit of the age, anu opposed to tbe interests of ibis country generally. So, too, is that otber proposition in Mr. Lynch's bill to tfive a bonus of foor dollars a too from tbe Treasury on all vessels en- ieil in foreign trade.

This, in round numbers, would injount to about $6. 006, OHO a year, and therefore, woulo he a positive burden upon the taxpayers and the treasury of abont 500, 0J0 a year over ana shore the receipts from the tax on ioreign tonnage. This is st wrouj. It is a pedaling way of meeting tbe shippine difficulty. And if tbe fieoplsare to be taxed to pay a gratuity to a few hundred ship owners and ship builders why not- for other kinds of business Vv by should not tbe farmer, the planter, the shoemaker, the tailor aud others be favored in the same n.annerf Wbile this scheme of Mr.

Lynch would pat money into tbe pockets of a few and tend to restrict commerce -it would not bave the effect needed. It would do little or nothing ia the wav of increasing the tonnage of tbe country. The only way is to abolish or amend the regular law so as taermit our eitiz: us to bay vessels everywhere and to place ihein under tbs American ting. At least he present registry law might be suspended fur a few vears until the result could be scea. We bave no dcubt that if this law were arx-lifihed or suspended tbe tonnage of the United States would ia the course of tea years rival that of the first maritime nation in the woild, and place ibis eouutry in the same relative position it occupies! just before the war la lntereiita The yearly profits ou such increased and tbe other advantages to the country, would be worth tar more than all the shipyard in Maine.

Our peddling congressmen are looking to small things- to 1-elty local interests insteaa of to those that are large and national. Shipbuilding will be restored in this country in due time, as taxation becomea red. living cheaper, labor more equalised, materials produced with greater facililv and at less cost, and as population and commerce increase. Thai must be a growrb. Our tounitre, bow-ever, we can restore and increase by simply acting upon the principle of buying in the best market.

Must of tha ureal ocean -'-unships, coining here under tbe fiertuaa. French or other national tbt-s. aud carrying tbe profits of tbeir business home, were budt in Great Britain. Here is an example for n. Noth'nir but a broad, liberal and comprehensive policy, and a change in the registry law, will restore our tonnage and give this country that maritime position which it ought to bold uiuon the nations.
