ATRYING TO PATCH UP THE Diff.

pondento of the Baltimore Sun says:
at is evident that the republi-

from the radical faction in Con-
gress, are becoming more and more
averse to rupture with the Pres

out some new line of action, where
by they will avoid collision with
the President, retain the Offices,
and afford time for the considera,
ton by the people of the policy
proposed by the President in re-
gard to restoration. Some of the
members propose that Congress
should close the session after ad-
mitting Tennessee and Arkansas,

this concession to him, and be, in
turn, is not to use the power of
Executive patronage against them

publicans out in the cold. The
Executive axe will be free to fall
upon them wherever they may be

The Corn Crop Of the West.

The foreign crops having been uuusu'
ally good during the past season, wheat Is
now selling in France for less than one
dollar per bushel, and it commands only
one dollar and nine cents in Great
Britain. The corn crop of our Western
States having also been unusually pro.
life, it cannot be probably transported
in the prescn, state Of the European
markets to the Atlantic scaboard, and
the practice has again commenced OF
burning it for fuel. The Galcna CHI.

A New Material for Bread.

Inasmuch as bread is the staff Of life
and is not always as plentiful as the de-
mand is great, any discovery which adds
to the material Of which it may be made
is Of the utmost importance. Such {
discovery it is claimed has been made by
our friend. Dr.. 4. i. Barnes, of Clarks
burg. The Telegraph says the Doctor
conceived the idea some time ago that
the seed which is produced by the sor.
ghum plant would make good bread
Ho accordingly prepared somo Of it and
had it ground aud bol,ed. lie present.
cd the Editor with some which he has
tried and found very palatable, and says
the bread made Of it looks like buck
wheat cakes, and smells like buckwhcat
cakes, and tastes like buckwhcat cakes.
and would be buckwhcat cakes if it we're
not sorghum.

CoNsoLING.-The Democratic Central
Committee of Indiana have come to the
conclusion, which they proclaim to the
world in formal address, that an "over-
whelming majority" Of the people of the
United States are in favor of the Presi-
dents policy Of restoration, and that Con-
gress represents but forty-three per cent.
of the people. The Overwhelming ma
iority," then, consists of fifty-seycn per
cent. Of the people.
We believe that the Indiana Democrats
are not mistaken as to their facts. We be-
lieve also that nine-tenths Of the people OF
ireland, Poland, Hungary, and Gambia, are
governed by rulers whom they detcst'
But, then, where's the remedy? The very
moment we "show fight" our treacherous
allies, who "talk SO big" become "War
Democrats" and turn the scales against US.
So that we must do like all other oppressed
and down.trodden peoples-bide our time.
Every movement of the Radicals shows
that they are afflicted with judicial blind
ness, and gives promise of better day for
the South. At present we derive but
little consolation from the figures of our
Indiana friends.

RETRocEssION OF ALExANDRIA.-The dia-
bolical FoRNEY has again commenced an
agitation in favor Of the retroccssion OF
Alexandria to the United States Govern
ment, and of course tells falsehood by
way of argument. lie says:
"a part of the ten miles square origi-
nally granted by Virginia was retroceded
in the interest Of projected secession by act
of Congress in 1916. This should be re-
covered, if for no other reason than because
it was to establish the Potomac as their
northern boundary the original schemcr
took it back"
As HORACE GREELEY says, there is but
one word in the English language fit to
characterize such statement, namely
lie. The people of Alexandria, and of Vir-
ginia generally, were as strenuously op-
posed to secession when that county was
restored to the jurisdiction of Virginia as
were those of any other part of the country

1t is idle to suppose that the southern peo-

merely to out-vote them. Every Radical

De Facto Governments.

In England many of the same members
who were in Parliament during the Protec-
torate held seats under CHARLES H., whose
highest Offices were filled by men that had
been prominent under CROMWELL. And
it is always held to be good plea in the
courts of that country if man charged
with any offence can aver that the act was
done under the authority Of de .facto
government. Our Radicals in Congress,
however, are more cruel and vindictive
than even the most cruel and vindictive
Of English rulers. The bill which was
