The double .dealing, shifting, and burrow-
Ing Of Gen. Grant, added to some wAnton acts
OF open wrong on his part, run well In the line
Of partisan bitterness with that course OF Mr..
Colfax a. Speaker, which has scarce ever pre-
Permitted an opportunity to aid and nbet
wrong BY countenancing parliamentary expe-
dients to oppres the feeble minority In that
body. He has rarely exerted his "power Of
place" to save tie latter, but has generally
mintstered to one and all OF the wicked acts Of
the domincering mass OF the me mbers, and has
assured to them to the extent OF his ability
whatever aid was In his power to promote ali
the wrong and outrage that has, for two years
back, been stamped In ineifaceabie characters
OF wickedness upon the legislation OF Con
gress.-Ndfionai InfeHigenesr.
The best refutation to the above, 50 far as 1t
refers to Mr.. Colfax, will be found In the
opinion which almost all OF the Democratic
members OF the House Of Representatives en-
terrain OF him. Let the Inisiiigeneer consult
Its own friends In Congress, who, at least,
may be presumed to know as much about the
fairness OF Ar. Speaker Colfax's ruling AZ our
neighbor.

The baptist Homo Mission.

NEw YoRK, May 25.-At a session Of the
American Baptist Home Mission Society, the
convention took up the matter Of delegates
from the Southern Baptist Convention.
Al the last meeting Of the Home Mission So
ciety, held at Chicago last year, a delegation
WAS sent to visit the Southern convention and
effect reconciliation between the Northern
and Southern Baptists. DR.. Hogan, OF Boston,
chairman OF the Northern delegates, reported
that the Southern convention had received
them In a very cordial manner. and had sent
delegates to attend this annual meeting, lap
plause.l
On motion, the Southern delegates were In
vited to tho platform, and on taking their
places were warmly applauded.
DIR. Jeter, of Richmond, one Of the Southern
deleg ates, made an address.
After reviewing the separation Of Northern
and Southern Baptists and the causes which
led thereto, he continued,
the war, one thing Il did was to blot out the
occasion Of this strife. Slavery 10 dead.
[Cheersl Whatever might have been said In
II be buried. Marked appiause.j We OF the
South do not desire to restore 1t even II we
could. Loud and continued applause.l The
toward the eoiofed race is that Of kindness.
We shall pray and labor for their salvation.
In the very necessity Of the case we desire
their conversion. AT present there Is little
enlargement, It 10 but natural; but we ey.
peet and trust that that enlargement will
pass away.
We at the South will be the earliest and
most successful instructors OF the colored
populace. We accept the situation the war
has brought. We bow to the dispensAtion OF
High Heaven. It 10 the manifest purpose Of
God that these States shall not be divided.
tCheers.l
Since our destinies are to be linked together,
and as we are TO live together, as we must, II
10 better that we should live In friendship an
IN connictj better In harmony than In discord.
tApplause
DR.. Fielder, Of Baltimore, and others, fol.
lowed In addresses.

A New AND USEFUL INVENTION In srxx,
PEEs.-Messrs. Coyle and Tower, booL ,s,,
lsrs and ststioners, on Pennsyivania .yenue.
between Ninth and Tenth streets, have pre.
scented to US . card Of Foley's double nil
capillary fountain pens" II consists OF two
pens fastened back to back with . sun Glen,
opening between the points to hold ink enough
TO write not less than 100 words without stop
ping to take up more. The ink 10 safely held
between the points by the power OF capillary
attraction, and In writing with either point,
the Ink being on the back OF the pen used,
flows much more freely and shades the letters
better than any pen we have seen. At nrst It
will seem awkward, but soon one becomes sc-
eustomed TO it and can't be persuaded to use
any other. Reporters Of the prsss, Telegraph
operators, copyists, book-keepers, clerks, and
lawyers, will dnd livery useful. The price
being about the same % ordinary steel pens,
will bring It within the reach Of all.
Mr.. d. D. Foley, Of this city, 10 the patentes,
and our young and sntsrprising friends, Msssrs.
ooyie d Towers, have procured from him the
exclusive right to sell them In this District.

DEMOCRATIC CHANCES.

The chances Of success which loom up be-
fore the Democratic party since the Chicago
Convention, are daily being whitfield down to
avery narrow point, and they will "grow beau
tifully less" till they "vanish into thin air."
Pendleton looms up In the West and North
west, and will be . formidable candidate at
Tammany Hall on the fourth OF July; but the
knowing ones who manage the party are afraid
Of him, because Of his known opposition to
the war for the Union and his greenbaek
theory. He can't win.
Hancock 10 q convenient candidate, . sort Of
decoy duck, to be used In an emergency In case
things and events favor his nomination. He
has no States, except, perhaps, the South, who
are willing to 60 for the successful candidate,
provided he has look to win.
Seymour Is reticent. He don't want It, 1t
Is SO given out. Reputation don't suit him;
and he plays shy for q purpose. Every other
man who IL talked Of may or may not come TO
the top.
The leaders are at their wits ends and are
drifting. The more prudent and cautious talk
OF Chief Justice Chase, and OF q platform that
will save Mr.. Chase upon his anti-slavsry and
suffrage record, As he 10 suspected to be pretty
firm upon the principles heretofore avowsd by
him.
The question 10, how to do IT. Some Of the
wisest leaders are ready to make . platform
upon which Mr.. Chase can stand. In other
words, elf the mountain will not 70 TO Ma
homet, Mshomst must 60 to the mountain"
But Just here lies the difiiculty; while the lead
ers would consent to any platform, however
Inconsistent with all OF their past notions and
professions, the rank and file will not so easily
forswear their principles. When . class OF
men have been educated to believe that certain
views are correct, they do not change all their
habits Of thought and belief in q day. The
leaders see this, and are puzzled.
The leaders conceds that the Democratic
party proper cannot carry the country, no
matter who their candidates may be, un-
less they can get that strength which they
have supposed the disaffected Republican,
would bring to their ranks. Hence, the expec-
tation based upon those people whom they
have been pleased to designate as "Conserva-
tive Republicans and disaffected Radicals" 1t
so happens, however, that there are no such
persons to rely upon. Such q man a. " Con-
sentative Republican" and "disanected Rad
zeal" does not turn up since the Chicago Con-
vention. AL chances, therefore, for the
Democracy vanish; and, like MicAwber, the
leaders are now waiting for somsthinE to
turn up" They will have good time.

Saturday and Monday iu consequence OF the

On Monday there was a further general ad.

Hon. s. +. GARY asks the House OF Repre-.

bonds OF the Government are payable, not in
the currency which the takers were expressly
promised, and which they had undoubtedly
expected to receive when they came to the
rescue OF the country from rebel subversion,
but In another and Inferior currency. He
says the public creditors and the war pension
ers should be paid alike, which can honestly
be effected by the simple process OF repudistion.
