The Southern Democracy.

The current of Southern Democratic feeling
runs in strong opposition to the notion of gre
organization" which certain of our contempt
raries have described as in actual progress.
When the Union first propounded its hopeful
news upon the subject, we proved, by quota
tons from Democratic journals issued in the
Southern States, that they were at direct issue
with the metropolitan organ and during the
last few days evidence has accumulated on our
hands which can leave no doubt of the failure
Of the whole scheme.
We have not space for extracts, and must
therefore content ourselves with naming the
Columbus (Miss.) Standard, the Marshall
Miss Jefersonian, the Montgomery Gala. }
State Register, the Dallas Gazette, the Cam
den Republic, and the Hayneville Chroni-
Gle, as amongst the batch OF malcontents.
They counsel the maintenance Of the South
ern Rights party as distinct from the Dem
ocratic party, and denounce the plan Of re-
organization as trick resorted to by broken
down politicians, with no prospect of being re-
sponded to by any large proportion of the peo-
pie. Another marked feature in their articles
is the manner in which the old Democratic or
ganization is spoken Of as all but powerless in
the South-its more extreme adherents having
gone into the Southern Rights ranks; while the
sober thinking, patriotic class-caring less fol
faction than their country-have joined the
Wings in forming the Union party.

Travellers sketch OF n Trip TO Wash
ington.


Every day brings some new protest against
the monsrous impositions and mismanagement
which distinguish the railroad travel between
New York and Washington. The travelling
public have very strong feelings upon the sub
ject, and no wonder, considering the years of
annoyance which they have been compelled to
endure, and the contemptuous disregard with
which their well-founded complaints have hith-
erto been treated The time has come, how
ever, when their sufferings find an audible
vent, and they are now improving the oppor-
tunity in excellent style. If the monopolists
of Maryland, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey,
have spark of sensibility left, they may be
supposed to feel somewhat uncomfortable I'M
der their ever increasing load of odium and
notoriety.
Amongst the latest compliments is a writer
in the Now Bedford Mercury, who sets forth
the inconvenience attending visit TO the seat
of Government in a strain pathetic enough to
awaken sympathy in the breasts of all whose
hapless fate has required them to encounter
similar horrors. The writer's statements are
not absolutely new; they are in the main reit-
Grafton Of facts that have already appeared more
than once in these columns; but they are never
theless noticeable, partly as an indication of the
universality of the dissatisfaction that exists,
and in part also in view Of the effects which the
present temper of the public mind may be ex-
pected to produce.

OF wELcoME TO KossurH.

Mr. SMART introduced a bill prohibiting the
prosecution of claims against the Government by
the heads of Departments, and Senators and Rep
resentatives during their respective terms of office
Mr. JONES, of Tennessee, said that he attended
to every claim which was sent 20 him by his con-
stituents; but for this no had never, directly in
directly, received the first cent of compensation.
This was a matter which required elaboration.
He would go with the gentleman in prescribing
penalties against members Of Congress who may
prosecute claims for pay; but the bill must be
guarded as not to prevent others from attending
to legitimate demands against the Government
without pay He therefore hoped that the bill would
be referred TO some appropriate committee.
Mr.. SMART said that there similar rule
in relation 20 one of the officers of the House. (he
Clerk) that he shall not prosecute any claim
against the Government, and aflixing penalty.

should be pissed Almost every one knew that large
amounts of money had been obtained by Senators
and Representatives contingent fees for prose-
cutting claims. They became interested In claims
to an extent almost equal 70 tho original amounts.
Therefore, legislation was imperiously called for.
There is law on the statute book that no member
Of Congress shall make contract; and yet mem
Der cot seventy five thousand dollars contin-
gent fee for claim before the Government.
Mr.. BOCOCK. Did you say one OF the members
Of tho last House Of Representatives?
Mr. SMART had rumor, and the newspapers for
his authority. They say that a Senator received
seventy five thousand dollars for single fee.
