There is a rebel paper, called the West and

He succumbed to Lincoln. He allowed
the great issue to degenerate into a detesta-

negroes, which for three days gave up t he

guished thousand lives. Fifty thousand

his bidding, but he preferred writing letters

The peculiarities of the eight hour system
of labor are beginning to show themselves
among the government employees. Tele-
grams from government superintendent to
the treasury authorities setting forth sew
eral inconvenences arising from the system.
The government workmen at Bangor, Me-,
have stated to the superintendent that they
would prefer to work ten hours a day. pro-
viaed they should receive an increase of wa
yes. The superintendent is disposed to grant
the request, with ten per cent. increase of
wages. The authority to adopt the ten hours
with increase of pay will not be allowed by
the government, however, as one of the prin-
cipal arguments used in Congress to obtain
the reduction in the hours Of labor was that
to work more than eight hours day is det-
rimental to both health and morals So it
appears that what the men who ask that
eight hours shall be legal days work want
is. after all, not dminution of the hours
of labor, but an increase Of pay.

ALASKA TO BE PAID FOR.-Ihe House last
week voted seven millions and over in coin,
or ten millions in grecnbacks, 70 pay for
the ice and bears which Secretary Seward
and the Senate bought of Russia. The vote
upon the passage of the bill was ia to -
The bill contained preamble asserting the
right of the House TO be consulted in respect
to all treaties calling for an appropriation of
money and this helped the passage of the
bill. The Senate, however, have stricken
out that clause, because, in their opinion,
it is a declaration not in accordance with the
Constitution which makes the President and
the Senate the treaty making power. What
ever may be the result of this conflict Of
opinion, the treasury viii sooner or later
have to pay for this ridiculously foolish pur-
chase and it is already paying for it in
another way, in the increased expenses of
the government

harmony upon for President, but
Blair commanded = 'nimous approval

at once.
The first step in the Blair rebellion is the
election of the Democratic ticket. With a
Democratic president he sees his way clear.
He expects, with an executive after his own
heart, to have House of kindred politics,
but theSenate he has no hope of reforming
at the polls. That is an obstacle to be re-
moved We cannot, therefore, he says
:. undo the Radical plan for reconstruction
:. by Congressional action the Senate will
= continue bar to its repeal. Must we
: submit to it? How can it be overthrow
:. Ii can only be 0rerttro,on By The authority o.
..He Erecutire." Blair then proposes this
remedy
:. There is but one way to restore the gov
eminent and the Constitution, and that is for
the President elect to declare these acts null
and void, compel the army TO undo its usur-
patiOns at the South, dispense the carpet-bag
state governments, allow the white people to
reOrganize their own governments and elect
senators and representatives.
Let the people who believe in govern
ment of law and order, government in
which the will of the people, expressed ac-
cording to the forms of the constitution, is
and must be regarded as the supreme law,
consider with such patience as they can
command this revolutionary doctrine Of
Blair and the convention which nominated
him. 4 repeal of the reconstruction acts
Is not proposed; in fact it is admitted to be
impossible These reconstruction acts are
as much the laws of the land as any statute
which has been passed during the last seven
years Does Blair propose to obey these
laws until they repealed? Does he even
propose to test their constitutionality in that
usual refuge of fossil Democracy, the Su-
preme Court? Does he propose any peace
iul remedy, or an effort for a peaceful
remedy? Not at all. His first step is to
get control of the army and navy. His next
step is force. 1t is the Calhoun doctrine OF
notification over again; but Blair would
make it safer, and save his own neck, by
first electing a president, not to execute the
laws but to nullify them.
1t is because Blair has thus boldly de-
elared his conversion to the principles of the
beaten,-and it was hoped dcad-rebeIlion,
and in effect says that he fought on the
wrong side during the war, that Hancock
was showed aside to make place for the rene
sade and traitor. Stripping off his Union
blue and putting on the Rebel gray, haul
ing down the stars and stripes and running
Up the stars and bars. he carried the con
yention with storm of enthusiasm Wade,

admiration and even the Democrats Of

vet with faint attempt at cordiality, an
nounce their purpose Of supporting at the
polls this apostatc, who declares, if he were
