Senator Dixon at Home.

Senator Dixon is one of the very few
members of the Republican party who
have sufficient independence to cast off the
shackles of partisan tactics and act in ac-
cordance with his own convictions OF right.
He bravely opposed the destructive schemes
of his more radical associates in Congress,
and for so doing has been roundly abused
By the destructives whom he has exposed.
y few days since he was the recipient of a
public welcome at Hartford, Conn, where
he resides, of which any man might justly
feel proud. On the occasion referred to,
he made a telling speech, the main points
of which are thus given by the Chicago
Times Of Monday last /:
In reply to a brief address by Mayor Chap
man, Senator Dixon rehearsed the history of
legislation for the la: two years, saying he
saw at an early pose on the part of
the radicals to cOn.h a state of disunion as
long as their party purposes might require,
and he determined, at whatever cost, to resist
il. The late act of Congress, he said, has es-
tablished q complete ~despotism over the south
and that too, without necessity or excuse
He said he was not sure but that Reverdy
Johnson was right in voting for the bill on
the ground that if it were not passed still
worse outrages would be inflicted on the south
ern States. The south is absolutely powerless
and must submit. In regard to the future,
Senator Dixon said TWO measures are already
proposed by the radical party. The first was
to create a black party at the south; to en-
BODY in one organized mass the whole black
race and induce them to cast their votes against
the whites. The line to be drawn between
parties is a line Of color. Apparently to &C
complish this dangerous purpose, emisaries of
distinction are mountaineering the south. They
may possibly deny the purpose, but the GER
tain effect of their teaching is this. What a
horrible state Of things, should they succeed.
If not a war Of races, a conflict of races would
be certain to ensue, and the black race as we'll
As the white, would be cruelty injured-and

JEFF Davis.

The Ti5une's Washington special says
"The friends of jeff. Davi. have sent him
a request that he will petition the president
for pardon. United States District Attor-
ney Chandler tonight filed a written re-
quest with the president for an order on
the commandant of Fortress Monroe to de-
liver Davis to the United States marshal,
in case the process shall be issued to bring
the prisoner before the United States cir
cult court or Judge Underwood. The or
der will probably be issued in accordance
with that request. The impression prevails
that when Davis gets into the custody Of
the marshal and under jurisdiction of the
court, the president ceases to have control
over the prisoner. This is a mistake.
The president can pardon either before
or after the trial of the accused, and his
authority to release prisoners is not affec-
ted by the question of whose custody they
may be in.

Municipal Elections.

At the corporation election in this place
last Monday, the Democrats achieved a
glorious victory over the radicals. Last
spring the radicals elected a portion of
their ticket, but this spring they do not
get a man on the ticket. Our majority is
from 20 to so, showing co~nclusively that
Democracy is all o. X. in Plymouth.
From the Times Geographic report we
condense the following from other towns:
The charter election in Laporte resulted
in a glorious Democratic victory. Hon.
Daniel Noyes was elected Mayor, as also a
Democratic City Marshal, Treasurer, Clerk
and three out of the FIVE Councilmen.-
Every effor. was made by the Republicans
to secure the success of their ticket, but
Laporte is now, as ever, true.
The election in indianapolis resulted in
the success of the Republican ticket by
from 100 to 200 majority. The Democrats
gain four or five Councilmen.
at Lawrenceburg the Republican tick.
ct was successful by 80 to 100 majority.
At Fort Wayne the entire Republican
ticket was elected, owing to local strife.
At Cambridge City the temperance tick.
ct was successful over the Democratic and
Republican tickets.
Richmond elected a Democratic Mayor
by IL majority.
At Terre Haute the entire Democratic
ticket is elected by 200 to 500 majority.
The entire Democratic ticket was elect
ed in New Albany. Sanderson, for May
or, has over GOO majority. Only one rad
ical councilman was elected.

measures which should be rebuked by the

measures which should be rebuked by the
whole north, as it has virtually been at your
recent election.
The other avowed measure, which is certain
to be pressed at the next session, is the threat
ened legislation of Congress to control and
shape the right of suffrage in the northern
States. Two bills have already been introdu-
ced into the Senate of the United States to
establish what is called universal suffrage in
the whole north, including Connecticut. One
of these bills was introduced by Mr.. Sumner,
the other by Wilson, of Massachusetts,. Do
you say that Mr.. Sumner is a theorist-nOt
practical? But what will you say of Mr.. Will
son? A more thoroughly practical man does
not live. He attempts nothing which he does
not believe he can carry out. Both these Sen

power, TO enact suffrage laws Tor Connect.
cut and other States. So both have declared
in debate in the Senate. In my opinion they
have a fair chance of success, and it would
not surpriae me rs much as | was surprised by
the passage of the unconstitutional military
bill, to see our State elections controlled by
act of Congress, and this old commonwealth,
which had her own suffrage laws more than Il
century before this federal government exist

mandates of the radical majority in Congi ess.

If had told you a year ago that the existing

Nottwenty members of Congressthen thought
their vote in its favor a possibility. Yet it

The London (Eugland) Cosmopolitan,

date 2"
The question Of payment or non-pay-
ment is simply one of ability. Can the
people stand it? Can they level this Mont
Blanc in the shape of promises to pay?
While it is probable that the figures of
the Cosmopolitan are much larger than
they should be, inasmuch as a settlement
of existing claims will materially reduce
the amount now demanded from the gov
eminent, there is that about this question
of unascertained indebtedness which should
make taxpayers consider the manner in
which congress expends their money. The
appropriations last winter were as lavish
as if the government had a fund on hand
equal to the amount of the national debt.

1t is a most significant fact, aud one
which the mechanics of Illinois who are
thinking men will not fail to note, that
none of the promin ent politicians who were
announced to address the eight-hour as
seE.'age in this city made their appear
ance.
Gov. Oglesby sent a letter, explaining
his non>appearance by saying he "did not
see his way clear to get there" 1t is a..gooa
deal more reasonable to suppose that he
could not see his way clear after he should
get here. Mr.. b. G. Cook, NJ. c., found
it 'imperatively necessary" to be some
where else on the first of May, while Mr..
E. G. Iugersoll, NJ. G., although reported
to be in the city, found that he had no
speech to make. The only an. c." who
put in an appearance was not an IN. c."
but plain Mr.. Andrew Jackson Kuyken-
dall-otherwise "Poor Kuyke."
Workingmen have yet this fact, among
others, to learn that professional politi,
clans are weather-cocks, telling which way
the wind blows. 1t was a mistake to invite
Oglesby, Cook and Ingersoll to address
them but having invited them, their fail
ure to appear is more significant of the re-
suit than their appearance would have been.
