Ed. WORLD: Every week the Idaho Statesman
comes here laden with the venom and misrepre-
sentations of sore heads lately kicked out of the
Democratic ranks in this county. The truth If
the matter is, that these dsorganizers, failing to
/ rule, endeayored to ruin the Democratic hartv
and have signally faile.l to accomplish either.
They have failed to make the Democratic marty
espouse their personal grievances and hence, "a a
rotten fruit drops from the tree that bore it, they
fall into the arms Of the radicals and the political
hybred, known as the Peoples Party is the
offspring of the unnatural alliance. Several infu-
entail Republicans, in view OF the fact that these
same political tricksters were bound to. and p,D
rule their Convention, withdrew in disgust. while
there are many others who openly their Intention
OF supporting the straight Democratic ticket
One OF the ITi. Weekly Statesman's correspon
donts from this place, writing over the signature
OF "One of the 7 eople." makes assertions not
borne out by facts: for instance, when he says
that they who compose the Democratic ticket
"resorted to all kind of low and contemptibIe
means to gain their selfish ends,n he said hat is
not so, to put it mildly and when he said that
primaries given" he certainly was aware that
sueh was not the case, AS it is fact that must
come within the certain knowledge of every man
in this county that seven days notice had been
given. As to the primaries being held before
the appointed time at Red Warrior and Yuba y
base conversed with gentlemen from both MIA
ces who deny the assertion, and account for the
speedy transaction OF business ut these meetings
to the unaninity of those present, there being 10
sore-heads there to mar the harmony Of the pro-
ceedings. Now, as to the comparative merits or
dement's of the respective tickets, do not uean
to discuss them; It's a dishonorable coprxe II
malign an opponent that we may appear to better
advantage ourselves. will leave that mode of
argument to the sore heads. The Democratic
ticket Of this county needs no comment: The
gentlemen who compose it are well and favorably

interests are here, and who should certainly nm. |

THE REAL OBJECT of the Republicans in re-
fnsing the Southern States representation is to
prevent the vote of the Southern States from
being counted in the next Presidential elec-
ton, By excluding that vote they hope to
continue the Republican party in power
They will fail, and that vote will be counted,
and it will elect 8 Democratic President.

Plain Talk from Gen. Grant.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, November 90.
Gen. Grant has been less reticent
of late on the subject OF reconstruc-
ton with ex-rebels. He plainly told
them that they mistook their posi-
ton. They had openly made war
upon the Government and appealed
to arms, and had been defeated, and
that they were now nothing more nor
less than on their parole. The rights
that they talked about had been for
feited by their treason, and their re-
turn to their former positions in the
Government laid in the hands Of the
Government through Congress. That
if they persisted in rejecting the con-
stitutional amendments they would
emily have to go further and fare
verse.

Mexican Question.

The present week has given us
additional facts and rumors touch
ing the Mexican question. The
French Emperor not removing bis
troops as rapidly as contemplated in
his former agreement with our gov.
eminent, Secretary Seward, for once
grown valiant, rushed for the Atlant-
ic Telegraph, and at cost of $40,
900 in gold, forwarded to our Minis
ter at Paris very ''belligerant'
dispatch This had the desired eff.
feet, and Napoleon now faithfully
promises that the French troops
shall at once be removed. Maximil-
lian has abdicated in toto, and Mar
shal Bazlne, the French Commander
in-Chief, it is said, is only awaiting
the arrival of Gen. Sherman to turn
ever to him the remnants of the ex-
ploded Empire. From the RIO
Grande we have the startling rumor
that Gen. Sedgwick has crossed with
American troops and occupied Aata-
moras. Sheridan promptly disowns
all knowledge of the act, and Gen.
Grant has ordered the removal of
Gen. Sedgwiek. il it proves true
The Mexican question is truly grow
ing important, and unless Congress
takes some speedy action, we stand
in fair way to become involved in
its complications.
p. S. Later news does not con-
firm the crossing of Gen. Sedgwick,
but rather contradicts it.

John H. Surratt.

Especial Dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette
WASHINGTON, December 2.
News has been received here Of 8
highly interesting character in refer
ence to the arrest of another of the
assassins of Abraham Lincoln. John
Fl. Surratt, it will be remembered,
was not long since discovered in Ita-
ly, and although an attempt to arrest
him was made by the Italian author
tiles, he succeeded in effecting his
escape. For some time he entirely
disappeared, but our consnls and 9TH
er Representatives, who were put upon
the qgi Vive by instructions from
America, and at last their efforts
have been rewarded. The Atlantic
cable has brought US news of his ar
rest. 1t occurred on Saturday last in
a portion Of the world where Surrstt
of course supposed he would be safe
Our Consul General at Alexandria,
in Egypt, Mr.. Charles A. Hall, had
been warned some days before by in
telligence from Italy that Surratt
would probably take refuge in the
East, and consequently kept sharp
lockout day and night for the guilty
man. 1t is said--although We have
not vet received full particulars
tnat Surratt's own inprudence, or
rather his ewn fear, at last led to his
discovery, and yesterday the vigilant
Consul General succeeded in captur-
ing him. He was immediately put
under the closest guard and probably
is ere this time on his way to Amer
lea to be tried, convicted and pay
the penalty OF his enormous crime.

The New Gospel Still Spreading.

We keep up our record OF the
spead of "negro suffrage amongst
the Democracy. 1t is funny to con-
template in view of past experience.
But Democracy, "any how" is 8
curious compound-a sert of "visible
admixture" of Inconsistency and I'm
pudence-and we must not wonder
much at any thing it may do.
The Chicago correspondent Of the
Cincinnati Gazette says:
The Detroit correspondent of the
Chicago Tribune writes to that jour
nal that the Democracy of Michigan,
led by the Detroit Free Press, which
has been more ferociously anti negro,
and more stubbornlv prcjudiced
against negro voting than any paper
in the West. except the Chicago
Times, viii within brief time come
ont as a unit in favor of Rncondition-
al negro suffrage. In fact, they will
in this sentiment out radical the Rad
icals. This movement will not csme
in response to any new light that has
penetrated the dark and desperdent
souls of the democracy, but on the
contrary, the position is forced upon
the party as saving grace, simply
to secure it from humiliation.
We had marked further extracts
two of special importance from the
leading democratic papers of Wes-
tern New York-one published at
Rochester and the other at Buffalo
bat some one has carried off the pa
per containing them and we can only
say that whereas they were once
NEGRO haters," behold they are now
"negro worshippers." N. B. The
person who took away that paper is
respectfully requested hereafter, after
reading our exchanges, to be careful
that meme of them get into his
pocket.

Opening of Congress.
Special Dispatch to Gin. Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 3.
on THE sTREITs

on TIE STREETS
The day hiss been one of consider.
able excitement, but not mere than
was anticipated. The weather was
fine and the streets were crowded
from 10 O'Clock till dark.
AT THE CAPITOL.
The attendance at the Capitol was
not as large as year ago, but the
galleries were iull, and many persons
were unable TO find admission.
. IN THE SENATE.
The Senate was quite dlgniied, as
usual. Some curiosity was manifest
cd to see the New Jersey Senators
sworn in.
Among the new men was Fogg, of
New Hampshire, who takes the
place of Clark, recently appointed to
4 vacant judgeship in that State.
There was little Of special interest
in the proceedings of this body, be-
yond the introduction OF Mr. Sher-
mans bill to prevent persons from
holding offices for which they have
been rejected by the Senate.
The message was received with
out any demonstrations either of
satisfaction or dissatisfaction, and
the Senate adjourned Immediately
after it was read.
IN THE HOUSE.
The proceedings in the House
were of much interest, and held the
undivided attention of very intelli
gent audience. There was about 145
members present, and all the bills
and motions indicated strong and
radical differences between the ma
jority and the Presidents friends.
The message was not read without
an effort to throw it over until anoth-
er day. A motion to adjourn before
beginning the document was lost by
only one majority, and q similar
motion, when the reading was half
completed, was also lost by one
majority, ona call of yeas and nays.
The Elliott bill, taking from the
President the power to grant a gen.
eral amnesty was put through by a
three fourths majority, but no action
was taken on it in the Senate.
1t was noticed that Representa-
tive Arnell, from Tennessee, voted
with the so called Radicals from the
first, and the conservative Republi-
cans generally manifested a disposi-
ton to be found voting with the
Democratic side.
