THE Democratic Muddle."

Such is the caption of an article from the

What are democratic principles to-day p

hopeless blindness In the fog Of secession that
we seem to have become utterly lost and do
not know whittier we are moving. Most of the
principles which we once held the Republicans
seem to have appropriated, II is Republican
Senator that defes and threatens our natural
foe, the "bloated Britisher !" Il is the Republ-
can press that favors the independence and
subsequent annexation of Cuba, while the
organ Of our party whimpers out that the Re-
publicans are standing on our platform. So
they are, but where are we standing What
have we to rest our weary feet uponp Arewe
expected to step Of as soon as they step on 7
Arc we to add the cowardice and faulty of the

We hear nothing as to what are Democratic
principles at present. Copperheadism was a
failure, and died the death 1t so richly deserv-
ed; the proposal TO pay our debt In greenbacks
has been repudiated by the nation the ever.
lasting colored gentleman has secured all the
rights he knows what TO do with, and few
more the Woman's Suffrage movement has
not the dignity of party measure. Democ-
racy Is In state OF chaos. II cannot undo the
irrevOcable; II has nothing to offer as an In
centive to persistence. Cannot somebody find
us few principles? We are opposed to high
taxes, and in favor of low taxes /; but the ma
tion must pay its debts, and must raise the
means necessary for this purpose. We believe
in economy, retrenchment and reform !" but

A Man of Many FrIends.

What a difference it makes in the num-
Der OF n mans warm personal friends
whether he Is simply q tanner OF the Presi-
dent of the United States What transcen-
dent abilities are discovered in the latter
that would be overlooked In the former !
AZ the present moment, the number ofGen'
Grants friends is unlimited, and the mum.
Der of persons who arc ready and willing to
take him 10 their hosoms, for a consider
alton, is astonishing. The political plums
are fast being distributed 10 the personal
friends Of the new president, and lucky are
those who, taking time by the forelock,
early ingratiated themselves into his favor.
Greatly to the chagrin Of the radicals in
general, they could not forsee the freaks
which fortune was to play with the destiny
of n Galena tanner, and unwittingly they
bowed down before strange gods, and neg
lected the dealer in hides and leather.
Now, their chances for the fat things Of Of
fee are decidedly slim, and they are be-
moaning it in sack cloth and ashes.
IL will never do to give II up so captain
Brown. General Grant Is not in want Of q
house at present, it iB true; neither is he In
need Of some recommendation in order 10
obtain the command of a regiment. But
there are more ways than one 10 gain am
object, and generosity towards those who
rule is often q winning card. Generosity
towards the roigning prince has thus far
been well rewarded, and there are
excellent offices still in reserve for the for-
tunate ones. Make your game gentlemen,
the ball il rolling.

the following as to the tribulations Of con
gressmen: 80 m-.Ll
The class 10 be commiserated most Of oil

and representatives. There is not q con-
oressional district in the United States rep
resented in congress. which has not its four
or FIVE delegations In this city ct the pres

for every prominent position under the gov
eminent, aud in many cases the number is
increased 10 a score. They ere, OF course,
the leading men at home, but here, where
generals, governors, and judges are almost
a. thick as simmer flies, their local impor-
lance does not count for much, and they
are hustled aud iostled and looked upon as
mere ciphers. Congressman are run TO
death by this class Unlike cabinet Off
GERS, they cannot lay down rules when they
can on cannot he visited. Their tenure of
Office is too frail to treat with anything like
uncefomoniousness these gentlemen who
are supposed 10 control their distriots. As
a general thing, therefore, the rooms Of
these honorable gentlemen who compose.

at night. They are attacked on the way to
the capitol and from H. They are obliged
to discuss nominations at breakfast, and
dinner, and tea. Their Legislative labors
are interrupted by their anNious constitu-
ents, and, altogether, for them there seems
10 be no rest.

''The secretary of war is Rawlins, with
ont a II; the secretary Of the navy is Ad-

e in the name ofthe attorney general, Mr..

Aside from the fact that this will afford

membe that General Grant made up his

Atty. lGen. Hoar has had this subject under

Of pardon was placed in the hands Of the

and that if the persons in

One Of the leading republican organs OF
this state says:
II is an auspicious circumstances that the
arst actnpproved by President Grpnt is that
10 strengthen the public credit by pledging
the faith of the nation to the payment in
coin Of the interest on It's obligations unless
otherwise stipulated. : II will do
much toward a-ppreciating onr bonds in
Europe and fastening the time when gold
and government paper will bear the same
value.
Congress first enacted n Inv which de-
clared that paper should be made legal ten
der for all debts, public and private, except
in certain cases where the government had
specifically pledged the payment Of coin.
under this act thousands OF individuals
were compelled to receive paper even in
caDs where the payment OF coin had been
stipulated. Congress now enacts a law,
which, ns to ond-holders obliguting in all
cases where paper was not stipulated in the
contract. Is this sort OF Legislation equita-
