The DIFFERENCE.-The United States
Senate refused to allow Mr.. THOMAS, the
senator from Maryland, to take his seat,
On the ground that he supplied his son,
who fought on the Confederate side, with
money. But the same Senate admits Mr.
BUTLER, from Tennessee, who was during
thewar member of the Tennessee Legis-
lature, and as such gave "aid and COM
fort" to the Confederates. Why was one
received and the other rejected Mr..
THOMAS would not vote with the Radicals.
Mr.. BUTLER would. That's the difference.
That made one loyal citizen and the
other man not to be trusted,

tweenithe untaxsd capital of the country and the
labor which produces its wealth, the position of
the Democracy is the result of its legitimate
principles While labor never attempts to escape
the just exactions upon it, idle and thriftless
capital is constantly devising new schemes to
shift its rightful burdens upon the shoulders OF
the laboring classes, and building up arstocracies
against which Democracy has waged a constant
warfare, never more plainly marked than at the
present time.
On motion of G W Armstrong, the following
gentlemen were appointed central committee
for the district, to-wit: William Reddick,
La Sale; George G Huling, Kankakee George
