The Absqu tuIasieas Of Radical
The Journal has get up mares nest to,
cover the disgraceful conduct of Radical
Senators in aosenting themselves on Tues
day afternoon, in order to prevent quo
rum.
It charges that 9 bill was agreed upon
by.eDemocratic members, which,, when
passed, would prevent the students of Del
aware College from voting in that place,
and hence would deprive its candidate for
Congress, Gen. BEATTY, of these votes on
Tuesday next.
The absquatulation, the Journal claims,
was to prevent such bill being introduced
the defering OF its introduction until yes
terday would prevent its passage until too
late to effect the object, for as each bill has
to be read three several times, on three
diferentd days;in each house, the time thus
demanded by the Constitution, would post
pone its passage until after the election for
member of Congress in the sth District.
This, charge is sheer snonsense-false in,
every. particular. No such intention ex-
listed. The disqualification of members, if
toiprevent the passage of such a bill, show
ed their utter ignorance of oflegislative prac-
ttce, and Of the requirements of the Consti-
tuition. r.ss.e-.~~ .~.-,-4z
There is at this moment pending in the
Senate bill-introduced by Mr.. HUTcHE-
SOM of gthisv District" To prescribe the
duties of judges Of elections in certain
cases, and to preserve the purity of elec-
This bill has been twice read and could,
on yesterday, have been passed in time to
have it read the first time in the House on
the same day. To.daylit could be read the
second time, and without suspension Of
the rule could be read the third time and
passed on Friday, and on that day it would
become law. At any time in the Senate
previous to its third reading, it could have
bsen.so amended as to meet the object the
Journal charges the Democratic MEM
bers with m having in s7syiew, rand
in this form passed, in time to prevent men
from voting at any place save that which
is their home. Thus the Journal will see
tfmtyif the Intention had dsbeen to pass such
a bill, it was the easiest thing imaginable
to do it, and no running off and hiding Of
Negro Suffrage members could have pre-
vented it. The only reason why the bill
was not so amended and passed, was the
plain one that no intention of passing such
a law, in. order to prevent voting in the
Sth Congressional District, was determined
on by the Democratic members of either
house. ohs ga
The, Journal must find some other excuse
or the conduct OF Negro Suffrage Senators,
who, after swearing to faithfully perform
the dudes Of Senators. hgnominionsly fled
from that duty and thus deprived MEM
bers who were willing to expedite 1egisla-
tion of the power so to do.
Propose 10 Garry the Sth District
with Money.
"The Republicans are working qdietly,n
is news we get from the 8th District They
find they cannot do anything of conse-
quence with meetings. It is the hardest
kind of:uphill business 70 convince the peo-
pie that after they so overwhelmingly
voted down Negro Suffr age at the late
election, they should now vote for man
to represent them. In Congress who Is ami.
mated by determination to force that
measure upon them it is hard work to
convince the people that Congress should
legislate outside of and in,defianeeof the
Constitution; it is hard work to convince
the people that Civil Government should
be abolished in the South, and an absolute
and irresponsible Military Despotism sub
stituted in its stead it is hard work to
convince the people that Congress should
take from the President and from
the Supreme Court-the power con-
ferred on them by the Constitution; it is
hard work to convince the people that
gneenbacks are good enough for them, but
not for bond holders, and hence the Repub-
licanspropose to carry the Sth District with
profuse use of money and by close organ
ization. From the Cincinnati Enquirer we
learn that a large amount of money has
been raised in Cincinnati by Republicans to
be used for this purpose. 1t is hoped that
the honest voters of the District will vote
their condemnation of this effort to secure
the election Of man who will misrepfe-
sent their interests. Every Democrat should
work nnceasingly until the close of the
election on Monday evening for the sue
cess of Col. BURNs-not because he
is Col. BURNS simply; but because he
is the q representative of White i:len
and White mems principles, whereas
General BEATTY, is the representative Of
Negro politics and the Bondocracy. The
question is very simple, when you narrow
it down. It is simply whether the Govern
msnt of this country shall be administered
in the interest OF the Negroes and Bond
holders, or whetherit shall be economically
administered and in the interest of White
men. That's the question to be decided in
the 9Th District next Monday. Should
there be any doubt as to the result -.
Good for General Cary.
It will be. noticed by reference to the
vote, that General CARY, who beat the
regular Republican nominee in the Second
Ohio Congressional District, voted against
the Reconstruction bill, that was passed
through the Federal House of Representa-
tlves on the 2lst. That act Of his is werthy
of high praise, and our regret is that We
can not thank Republican members fol
dOin Q the same praiSWOrthy thing.
