The Daily Dispatch

House of Representatives, just before it adjourned last, prepared a resolution declaring in effect that if any treaty should be made by the President and the Senate which required action on its part (an appropriation of money, for instance,) it would do as it pleased, and judge for itself when the case arose. The Democrats, according to the New York Herald, have declared that to carry a treaty into effect they can issue Government bonds without the consent of the House. The Attorney-General agrees with them; but, says the Herald, the Supreme Court has just decided the point against them.

Prima facie the claim of the President and the Senate would seem to be totally inadmissible—absurd, indeed. But when we recollect that the Constitution provides that they shall make all treaties, and that all treaties shall be the supreme law of the land, we are obliged to confess that the question is not devoid of difficulties. The power to coerce a seceding State is not half as easily found in the Constitution as the power claimed by the President and the Senate.

THE VOTE ON THE TREATY.—Senator Blair was paired with Senators Ferry, of Connecticut, and Morrill, of Vermont.—Washington Republican.

Truly, he was paired off. But how did it happen that Blair was considered equal to two Republicans?
