COLFAX AND FOREIGNERs.

In 1915 when Known othingism
sought the acknowledgements and pro-
scription of every foreigner and Roman
Catholic in the country on account Of his
birthplace and religion, Mr. Schuyler
Colfax was bright and shining light in
the organization. The indianapolis Sen
hnel states that there was no tiercer or
more prOscriptiye KnOw-NOthing in the
land. Could he have had his way, not a
foreigner or Roman Catholic would to-
day be allowed to hold Office or even
vote. In order to show our foreign-born
citizens what manner Of man he is, we
give the oaths which he took when in
itiated into the Know-Nothing Lodge, as
follows 80 a....
FIRST DEGREE.-In the presence of
Almighty God and these witnesses you do
solemnly promise and swear that X
you will not vote, nor give your influence,
for any man, for any office in the gift of
the people, unless he be an American-born
citizen, in favor ofAmericans ruling Ameri-
CO, nor if he be a Roman Catholic"
SECOND DFGREE.-In the presence of
Almighty God and these witnesses You do
solemnly and sincerely swear if
it may be legally done, You will, when
elected or appointed to any official station
comforting on you power to do SO, remove
all foreigners, aliens or Roman Catholics
from office or place, and that You will in
no case appoint such to any office or place
in your gift"
Now, when against his utmost efforts,
the Know-NOthing organization has been
utterly defeated and swept from exists
ence, the Radicals expect these same
foreigners and their descendants to vote
to make Mr.. Schuyler Collax Vice Presi-
dent Can they forget and forgive the
vindictive prescription with which he
pursued them2 t1I -.. .

PARTISAN wALIGNANCY,

God bless my country" were the dy-
ing words Of ex~President Buchanan-a
statesman who had filed the measure of
seventy-sevsn useful years, nearly fifty of
which we're passed in the public service
and in positions of great trust and re-
sponsibility. Saying this, like Lord
Bacon, he gave the record of his labors
to history, and left his name to "the char,
table opinions of men," Before, how
ever the sod had covered his mortal re-
mains, the Radical majorityof the House
of Representatives disgraced its journal
with a deliberate insult to his memory.
The act refusing the ordinary testimO,
NAL Of respect to deceased Presidents, was
one of the most malignant and indecent
displays of partisanship of which the
party that had already committed every
other outrage, has been guilty Of The
sensibilities of the American people rec
volt at it 1t was without provocation or
excuse. 1t was unjust and heartless. Ut
was dishonoring to the nation. 1t had
its origin in the pettiest and basest pas
sions that infest the human character.
1t cannot injure- the dead old statesman,
who is beyond "or praise Or blame The
"poision" Of party hate, nor the qsteel"
of party vengeance, nothing can touch
him further" But it is sufficient to snl-
fuse the checks of the generous and
noble of his countrymen with shame,

ONE OF THE CARPET-BAG SEN
ATRRS

The United States Senate was once one
of the most honorable and .dignifed
bodies in the world, and man had to
possess sterling merit and high order Of
intelligence to secure a seat in that body
Not so now. The Reconstruction" Of
the Southern States by Congress has
opened the doors of that honorable body
to men Of the most disreputable chars
acter. One Of the Senator's from Ar-
kansas, under this Congressional recon-
struction is one A. Mcdonald The
Leavenworth Times, the leading Radical
paper in Kansas, gives him this certificate
Of character %.
FWe are both asLonished and mortified
to see some Of the Republican presses of
Kansas, claiming to occupy CONSPICUOUS
place in the ranks Of the organization, in
dulging in fIIlsome and extravagant adula-
tions Of Mr. A. Mcdonald, who has re-
Gently been elected one Of the Senators
from the State of Arkansas. If any one of
the journals referred 10 know Mr.. Nc
Donald at all they know be is utterly I'M
/ qualified for the high position of United
States Senator. The very proposition is
ridiculous, and it lowers the character of
the profession for leading newspapers to
hold mp man for what he is not, and can
never become. Hon. A. Mcdonald, United
Senator from Arkansas Ifthat isn'tenough
10 make horse laugh nothing ever was p
The Rochester Union states that this
A. Mcdonald is not new man to the
United States Senate He is of the firm
of Mcdonald, Fuller & Sells, Indian
traders, and was recently presented by
Senator Sherman, in memorial from
the Cherokees, as having, through an
official in his interest, bought corn from
the government at Is cents per bushel
and -four at s. 50per barrel, and then
sold both articles back, the corn at IS
and the -four at 1874 We do not see
however, says the Union, why this and
kindred operations known 10 the LeaVen-
worth Times should disqualify him for
Radical United States Senatorship Ac-
cording to all the Radical papers the
Radical Senators in their seats are no
better than Mcdonald. 1t is not merely
admitted, but it is charged by the Re
publican press that these Senators are
mereenary-are purchasabie-and that
ownership in their votes is regulated by
the law of supply and demand Aside
from those who recently sold out, as
alleged, there is the unbought Cameron
who was driven from the War Office and
the country during the war, and inns
peaehed by resolution Of the House of
Representatives for operations kindred
to those of Mcdonald d Co; and why
should not Mcdonald be q United States
Senator as well as Cameron Mcdonald
is a truly representative man in his
party in Arkansas and elsewhere, and we
suspect the Leavenworth Times must
harbor some private personal dislike for

Gas shut or etc.

WASHINGTON, June Sowing to the
FIRE at the gas works this evening, the gas
all over the city, except at the Capitol, was
suddenly turned off to prevent an .explo-
sion. The House of Representatives had
supply from an exclusive reservoir.
Owing to the bitterness Of feeling among
certain classes of politicians, and the re-
cent disturbance, approximations were freely
expressed that there would be riots to-
night, and preparations were accordingly
made to suppress the disorder, but the city
generally is quiet, nothing having occurred
to create the excitement except a quarrel
between two white men, one Of whom shot
the other dead.

TIE Washington correspondent of the

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald relates the following:
Another little incident, showing the an
tagonism between Senators, has come TO my
knowledge to night. After the vote on
Tuesday, it is said Fessenden and Nye met
in one Of the city cars. The conversation
was short, sharp and decisive. Nye made
some remark about the vote, which Fessen-
den answered, in an angry tone, by saying:
Yes, sir, you had not the pluck to do as
you thought right. You had not the cour-
age TO act conscientiously, and left seven Of
us to bear the whole brunt of the odium.
Ii was mean trick Nye is said TO have
met this by replying that, whatever might
have been his motive, at least he had not
been animated by malignant spirit and
jealousy"
Mr.. Fessenden, doubtless, was right
The lack OF courage to act conscientiously
was all that prevented the impeachment
from being voted down by a large ma
jority. And it is that which has inflicted
so many and such serious grievances on
the country. 1t is to be hoped, that
since Mr. Fessenden has commenced fol-
lowing the guide of his conscience in the
discharge of public duty, he will continue
TO do so
