O-s- The Louisville Democrat in speaking OF
Truman Smith says: This old political char
latan has made a speech on the Nebraska bill.
He is opposed to it, and opposed to agitation to
an alarming" extent There is not meaner
demagogue in America than the said Truman
He now proposes to hunt down demagogues ev-
rywhere, and we approve of this movement If
there is to be chase of demagogues in all parts
of the Uniyn we are for Smith for commander
inchief.
Set rogue to catch rogue, is an old adage, and
perhaps true one; and we therefore conclude that
Truman Smith should lead in the matter He
was at Washington during the canvass of 1913,
as franking-masteT general and chief manager Of
all party roguerry. He performed to the entire
satisfaction of his employers. We don't think
there is another of the Smith family who could
have done as we'll. His senatorial career is
about closed-it should never have begun-let
him now betake himselft to his proposed chase of
demagogues. He is familiar with the features
of the varnlnts," if he is likely to lose his re-
collection of them, he has only to look in the
glass to recall them.

From the Boston Post.
The Democratic Party and the Nom
intervention Policy as to Slavery
I'm the Territories.

We had supposed that inside Of the democrat
ic party the slavery question was settled by the
adoption of the creed of congressional non-inter-
ference with it in the Territories and of leaving
the people to establish regulations relative to it
The period when the democracy planted them
selves, as party, on this ground, was in the
canvass Of 1913. Then this very question, as an
abstract principle, and as practical issue, was
extensively and thoroughly discussed and decid-
eds It was this principle that was applied in
the compromise measures of 1850. But recent
events would seem to indicate otherwise. The
Nebraska bill, undeniabIy, is based on the same
non intervention and self government principle
that was incorporated in The bills for the organ
ization Of Utah and NV Mexico. And yet the

AN ABUSED ORGAN.

There is not an organ of the body which
ordinarily receives as little consideration as
the stomach. A man has generally some
respect for his head, his hands, and his feet ;
he does not like to thrust his nose into disa-
greeable places and he resents, in an instant,
any attempt to "d-n his eyes = he keeps
his finger and toe nails regularly pared and
in such condition as does not call for the
visits of the police and summons before the
Mayor. But the great centre of the system,
upon whose healthful operations his life and
happiness depend, he never thinks of except
as slave to be loaded and overburthened
without regard to its capacity and welfare.
He is proud of any particular excellence in
his other organs, and is careful not to expose
them to injury, but the better his stomach,
the harder he works it, and the less pains
does he take to promote its welfare. Never
theless, when the stomach suffers, do not all
the members suffers with it? Yet it is in vain
that the stomach resents the wrongs and dis
respect shown to it; that now it rumbles in
discontinued murmurs, and now in a vindc-
tive dyspepsia rises fiercely against its tyrant.
The besotted master laughs at the com
plants and the rebellion of his faithful SER
want, and does not often discern his folly and
ingratitude till it is forever too late.
But there comes time when the stomach
hath its revenge. That time is when the Cho-
lera campaign has fairly commenced. Then
men for the first time recOllect that they have
stomachs. In their new born reverence
they are almost oblivious that they have any
other member, and frequently forget that they
have heads on their shoulders. The stomach
is the acknowledged monarch, and the slight
est manifestation of his good pleasure is law
supreme. The first inquiry upon waking is
after his Majesty's health; the last thought
at night is in regard to his welfare. The re-
lentless taskmaster has now become the most
obsequious of servants, and ministers to the
wants of the new king with the greatest rev.
erence, caution and fear. Eyes, ears, nose,
palate, and brains are constituteda Committee
of Safety for the welfare and protection of
the stomach. What will his Majesty have for
breakfast? What for dinner? What for sup
per? Genius, science, learning and skill ex-
haust themselves in his behalf Verify, it is
only in seasons of adversely that we appre-
ciate the value of our friends

THE DANVILLE RAILROAD

Yesterdays Wing contains defence of
this Road from the charges made against II.
we suppose from the pen of some officer of
the Road.
This defence alledges that there never was
through ticket by arrangement with the
Southside or the Lynchburg and Tennessee
Road, to Lynchburg or the Springs Such
ticket was made by arrangement with the
stage lines of Flagg & Co., with the under
standing that it should terminate upon ten
days notice of either party. Parish & Co.
putting on lines of coaches in opposition to
Flagg Il Co., and the Danville Company sup
posing that this competition would be bene-
fetal to travel promote speed and increase
the popularity of their line to the Springs, de-
termined to break up the through ticket and
give the competition full swing.
1t is further asserted that the fare from
Richmond to Lynchburg is by this course
reduced from SIS to $3.50. Therefore. II ;s
commended that the object which was to he.
nefit the line, is carried out, and there is no
reason for the assaults upon the Danyille
Road; and if possible, less reason for the
Southside Road making it a pretext for urp.
ing people to go by Petersburg to Rich
| m0nd.
With regard to freight, the writer asserts
that it has always been the object of the
Danville Railroad to enter into a mutual az
rangement with the Southside Road, where.
by the tolls on each road would be the same
and the transportation of freight would he ia
cilitated as much as possible. With this oh
ject, repeated propositions have been mad
to the Southside Road. The writer, withou,
saying that they have been rejected, leave,
that fact to be inferred, and adds that not
| single proposition of this kind has ever beer
made by the Southside to the Danville Rail
road.
The writer, therefor, assumes that the
charges made against the DanvilIe Road are
without foundation. He further asserts thai
there is no jealousy or ill-feeling entertained
by the Danville Railroad towards the South.
side Railroad.
The " ritter remarks, however, that officers
of!the two roads are now considering their diff
ficulties with every prospect of their adjust

THE RICHMOND DELEGATIONS
In The brief article under the above head
;,o Yesterday. we omitted to mention very
important portion of the unwritten history of
the fate of the Covington and Ohio bill. The
yireinian represents the final act in thejonr-
naiised history to be the laying the bill on the
table, on motion Of Mr.. MALLORY. That mo-
ton meant more than meets the eye of the
reader of the Journal. DIR. MALLORY, who
represented Norfolk, was . five foot guage'
man. He was, moreover, an avowed and ar
dent friend Of the Covington Railroads.&c.
claring that Covington ought to be its Eas-
tern terminus for the sake of the Canal:
great work whose Importance he fully under
stood
The notiue of DIR. MALLORY in this motion,
he declared to be, to make an effort to heal
the divisions in the Internal Improvement
party by compromise which should be just
to all parties. The bill was laid On the table
with one accord, and the result of DIR. NAL
! LoRY's exertions as the pacifcator of the oc-
casion were anxiously looked for. The Rich
mond delegation was prepared to cooperate
| with him in the ideas he explained privately.
To carry them out it was necessary to com
bine several parties, and it was desirable to
| obtain the cooperation of a distinguished
Delegate from an Eastern county, who had
taken an active part in the Internal Improve
ment discussion. DR.. M. however, it was
generally understood privately, was unsuc'
cessful. Of course we canot go into par
ticulars but certain it is, the failure was the
result of no impractieability so far as this city
