A NEW Democratic journal has been
started in st. Louis, entitled the Repu-
didt0r It's name is it's motto. In
speaking of it the st. Louis Republican
the leading Democratic paper of Mis-
souri,, says, "0ur personal relations to
the proprietors are of SUCH friendly
character that we could wish them
abundant success in the enterprise they
have undertaken, if its object appeared
to us either legitimate or expedient.
We do not believe that public sentiment
approves repudiation in any form, or,
that it can be trained to approve It."
That the reputation of the national
debt in any manner whatever, or the
adoption of any system whatever that
would approximate to it, would be dis
honest, disgraceful and ruinous, is and
must be the firm conviction of every
honest man of whatever party. We
have no more sympathy for Republicans
who would advocate it than Democrats
and have yet to learn how the compul-

By giving another promise to pay,
both signed by the same debtor, can be
considered a final payment of indebted
ness. That is greenback redemption.
Must it not eventually end in the re-
demption of these obligations in money
having an intrinsic value, or eventually
end IN repudiation2 Why not then, at
once, by funding the debt, provide for
its redemption in specie at maturity, or
permit its conversion, at the option of
holders, in longer maturing bonds; re-
duce the interest and restore confidence,
or shoulder the responsibility at once
and declare to the world that we are a
nation of swindling, financial tricksters.
THE bill creating Law Department
of the United States makes the Attorney
General the head of the Department,
systematizes what has heretofore been a
chaos, and provides against conflicting
rulings and decisions, heretofore source
of interminable confusion in the depart
ments. It moreover abolishes sew
eral sinecures and reduces the expendi-
lures from $116,64s last year, to Ss1, CSC

Mr.. SEYMOUR made his bid for the
Democratic nomination in the speech
before the Albany Convention, on the
18th. Mr.. Pendleton proposes to redeem
the Indebtedness of the country in
greenbacks. iMr. Seymour 'denounces
the proposition as a stain on the honor
of the country and ruinous to it's busi-
ness interests and laboring men," On
these two propositions the rival candi-
dates will go before the Convention in
New York city, July A. Mr.. Belmont,
the best groom and jockey in the party,
will keep Seymour in training and place
him on the track in good condition.
Seymour stock is looking up. By the
way, the Democratic National Conven-
ton was in session in Washington when
Mr.. johnson made the break that led to
his impeachment. That the entire
osject was to make capital with the
Committee is beyond question. As a
clincher, he gave Presidential banquet
for the Committee. Mr.. Belmont occu-
pied the chair on the right of His Excel
iency. Mr.. johnson inimprudent haste
directly put the question to Mr.. Belmont
as to what were his chances for nomin-
alton. Mr.. B. replied evasively, "Let
US eat and talk politics afterward-
They feasted, he sorrowed; he saw the
hand writing on the wall. the ingrati-
tude of Republics broke his noble heart
his knees smote one against the other
and after this feast OF the modern Bells
hazzar, he wrote his explanatory but
too tardy letter 10 the Senate.

pertaining to the "RumIey & Bugher" silver

July last was properly defined and Pre-empted'

THE Herald recently indulged in col
umn of unmitigated growl about the
Republican party having "an organ" /"
and the Central Committee passing n
private resolution to that effect, etc. dd
inJiHitum. There was a resolution intro
duced and adopted just previous to ad-
journment, addressed TO d. w. Tilton s.
Co., stating that the conduct of the Posi-
under its present editor, for the past
year, met with the hearty approval of
the members of the Committee. That
was all there was of it. We took it as
but one of the many kindnesscs extend
ed TO us while in Helena. 1t was passed
after the public resolutions had been
given for publication, was purely an act
of courtesy, we presumed, for which we
felt grateful as we always do for kind
words. As it was personal matter and
we have, on general principles, tried to
avoid expression of that egotism untor-
tunately inherent in all of us, we have
not seen proper to publish it. The Her
aid said great deal more about usthan

DRIVEN To DO RIGHT.

The inns" always live in glass houses;
the "outs never lose opportunity to
throw stones In other words. the party
in power is always attacked by the par
ty out of power; and having the admin
istration to defend and the people to ed
ucate to new ideas of government, la
bors under that disadvantage which the
outs, having nothing else to do or to be
responsible for, ale exempt from. An
innovation upon the prejudices of a peo-
pie is ever vigorously and bitterly OPP
posed, though the avowed principles of
the Government. We have declaration
made by the Fathers, as fundamental
principle of our Government, that all
men are created equal, having certain
inalienable rights, among which are
life, liberty and the pursuit of happi-
ness !" yet for nearly century in direct
violation of this principle we held seve-
raj million people in the most abject
servitude and ignored the declaration.
Had the Emancipation Proclamation
went to a popular vote on the first Of
January. '63, it would have been over
overwhelmingly defeated. In twelve
months thereafter it would have been
sustained, and now where is found one
to argue that slavery was right We
have another declaration that taxation
without representation is tyranny"
Yet in the face of this, Prejudice says,
tax the negro but do not give him rep
resentation. If the objection to negro
suffrage is upon the ground of his igno-
rance or poverty, why make make
distinction between white and black in
restricting suffrageY Whether is it
more just to disfranchise four million
people for the color of their skin, or
forty-five thousand men for crime. Are
we afraid of negro supremacy? There
are thirty million whites in the country,
perhaps FIVE million blacks. There are
eight million whites in the seceding
States; four million blacks. With the
proportion of two to one population and
large proportion of voters, which is
likely to have the controlf There are
but two States in the South where the
black population equals the white
South Carolina and Mississippi. In Al
ALBANIA, Georgia, Arkansas and Florida
the whites are largely in excess In
Texas, Virginia and North Carolina the
white population is double, and more
than double, the blacks. Negro SUI
premacy" is electioneering moonshine.
We can afford to be just and fear not. /"
Like emancipation, negro suffrage be-
came a necessity, and ere long we viii
be glorifying ourselves as a nation and
assuming lofty airs in having volunta-
rily done that which self preservation
demanded as necessity was done only
at an extremity, and with timid hesita-
ton lest the eouts" should creep through
the breech it made in the party lines
and become the Gins"

THE impeachment of the President of
the United States is without precedent !;
but cases of impeachment by Congress
are not without precedent, and their his
tory gives precedent on one feature
likely TO be brought up on the present
trial-the power to suspend during inn
peachment. The first case was that of
William Blount, Senator from Tennes-
see, in the Fifth Congress. he was i'm
peached. July 2, 1897, on information
transmitted to Congress by President
Adams, for suspicion of his inciting the
Greek and Cherokee Indians to hostilities
against the government. He declined to
make any explanations, and a resolution
passed the House which the Clerk pre-
sented at the bar of the Senate as tol-
lows: .-4..... .... 1- r..
MR. PRRsIDEHT: am commanded in the
name of the House of Representatives and of
the people of the United States TO impeaeh
William Blount, Senator of the United
States, of high crimes and misdemeanors, and
to acquaint the Senate that the House of Rep
resentatives will in due time exhibit particu-
lar articles against him and make good the
same.
am further commanded to demand that the
said William Blount be sequestered from his
seat in the Senate, and that the Senate do
take order for his appearance to answer the
said impeachment.
The Senate concurred in his being
suspended during trial, and prevented
him from taking any part in his own
trial. The trial lasted one day, and the
following resolution Passed-ayes, g.
nays, 1.
Resolved, That William Blount, Esq, one
of the Senators of the United States, having
inconsistent with his public trust and duty as
Senator, be, and he hereby is, expelled from
the Senate of the United States.
The second impeachment was that o
Associate Justice Samuel Chase, before
the Eighth Congress, March 26, 1904, fol
drunkenness while presiding at trial
in Philadelphia. The trial lasted TWEEN
ty-two days, and although he admitted
| number of the specifications, drunken
ness was not deemed sufficient ground.
for impeachment, and the Senate failet
to convict him. Blount, like Andrew
johnson, was a native of North Carolina
and elected from Tennessee. If the FIFTH
Congress could constitutionally suspend
Blount during trial, why cannot the For
tieth Congress constitutionally suspen'

D]ENocRArIc MEETING AT WAsnoE.-
Tie Eastern Slope, Of Saturday last, con-
tains a long account Of n Democratic
meeting held in that place one night
last week, and which was addressed by
Judge Pitzer and Gen. Tom. Williams,
of Virginia city. OF Williams speech,
the Slope says:
He asked not only the sympathy but the
active labors Of the ladies present in aid OF
the lost cause he told them that though not
endowed With the insignia OF white manhood,
the ballot We suppose he meant, they still
possessed the means BY which the most stiff.
necked and rebelious Of men could be Sub
dued, and to sxemplify his meaning he rela-
ted the following aneedote; Once upon a
time, q man and q woman, being struck with
love at first sight, doubled teams for the
Journey Of life; after the hitohing process
was completed these turtle doves, a. is Gus
tomary, retired to the bridal chamber, whore
BY accident the fact was developed that they
protessed different political crceds, the woman
being \ Democrat, just the same as the Cen
eral now is, the man an old line Wing, as
the General once was. The result OF this
discovery was heart-rending, the poor old
wing was 0IiNeu IfOm tuS IOOm anu Posoc0
the nigh. in SORROW, bafled bat not conquered.
The second nightcame, n dAfter Democracy
had retired Whiggery came tapping at the
chamber door. "Who comes there p called
the lady. ITS me, my dear" answered the
gentleman. "What are your politicss 2" de-
handed the lady. "whig," replied the gen.
usman. "You can't come in here. Git"
was the emphatic and final answer. This
scene was repeated until our Wing friend
finally weakened before the citadel he had
hoped to capture. The surrender we give In
tho Generals Own words:
Gent-Rap, rap.
Lady-"who is there /"
Gent-"Its me, my dear, and the ,stiffest
Democrat you ever saw"
The illustration va" pertinent. elegant,
classical The moral was irresistible!
Whether the story was a recital Of personal
experience, or the creation Of q vivid fancy,
we are unable to say, and We do not know
that il matters. We hope, however, that
this system Of party discipline will continue
to be exclusively Democratic.
