" Under VHICH KING ~


The man who tried to sit on two stools, and
failcd-the donkey which, perplexed by the
rival attractions of two different stacks of
hay, stood irresolute between them and
starvcd-the bold captain in the Beggar's
Opera who alluTed at once by two diverse
loves, sings, GLOW happy could / be with
"either, Were t other dear chaTmer away"
unite to read a lesson which the Dem
Ocratic managers should take to heart
as a warning. They are in danger of
being sent to Coventry while they are making
up their minds whether to cet in for a share
of the Negro vote or eschew it altogether. In
fact, the party is just now in the state of the
short-lived chicken with two heads and four
legs, none of which could be made available
because of the perverse action of the others.
Why Jack would MT eat his supper, was a
puzzlng mystery until some one suggested the
very simple explanation-he could MT get any.
No one had the heart to blame his abstinence
as churish after that. And perhaps the Dem
Ocrats of Delaware are justified by it in the
solemn resolve they have just proclaimed, un-
der the lead of ex-senator Bayard, that they
will seek no Black vote, but sink or
swim by the aid of Whites alone
Their calculation that they can win over
a few half-and-half Republicans by boldly
standing forth as "the White Mans party-no

Mr.. Garrett Davis has taken the hint at last
and is silent But then the hint, to be sure,
was as broad as that accepted by the we'll
bred dog in the play, who walked down stairs
on observing preparations making to throw
him out at the window. My Uncle Toby, it is
recorded, could not have been forever blind
to the ogling of the pretty Widow Wadman.
Patient people felt that the Kentucky Senator
must eventually hear some of the many hints
that while his speech was by no means pure
silver, his silence, if it could by chance be
tested, would be esteemed unalloyed gold.
Yesterday the climax of hints was reached, and
the inveterate orator succumbed on finding
himself without an audience. A cruel Senate,
after voting night session for his accommo-
dation, failed to attend and but eight fellow
Senators appeared in their places. Whereupon
Garrett Indignantly refused to speak, and
moved to adjourn. He has his ample reward
in the thanks of a grateful public.

At last Congress hears the demand of the
people for the abolition of the income tax;
and numerous bills and resolutions have been
prepared or are in preparation by various
members. Mr.. Payne is first in the field but
as his bill is simply to reduce, not to abolish
the tax, it will not be satisfactory Mr.. Butler
furnishes in advance the text of a resolution
which he is to introduce directing the Ways
and Means Committee to prepare bill abol-
ishng the income tax and substituting for
it another only less oppressive and offensive.
Mr.. Negley of Pennsylvania has ready for
submission to the House to-day still another
resolution, with clearer ring to it, and just such
a one as the people demand. 1t amends the
revenue laws SO as to remove all tax what
ever on incomes, and we hope he will press it,
as he promises, to an immediate vote. The
people want the yeas and nays on just such a
resolution.

Later aGvices from AsunciOn mention the
formation Of provisional government for
Paraguay under the patronage" Of Brazil.
Paraguay has enjoyed the boon of an admin
istration of this sort ever since Lopez was
driven out of his capital, the government con-
sisting of Senior ParanhOs, one of Dom Pc
dros principal ministers Of State, with two
titular colleagues who have really had not
particle of power. Under the despotc rule OF
ParanhOs the country has become horrible
theater of misery and vice. Under the new
provisional government, which will be yirtu-
ally an extension of the other, we fear the
conquered State has no reason to expect the
dawn Of better days. The allies purpose to
exact from Paraguay payment of all the ex-
penses of the war, indemnity for all the inju-
ries they have suffered from it, and the salts
faction of enormous and indefinite claims of
private citizens. OF course the devastated Re-
public has no means Of meeting the demands
which will be made upon it, and of course the
territory will be held as collateral security.
The allies moreover reserved, in their famous
secret treaty, the right to adopt all necessary
measures for guaranteeing the permanence of
peace after Lopez should be overthrOwn, and
the one measure which they specified and
pledged themselves to adopt was to strip the
whole country Of arms Poor Paraguay! Her
" CELEBRATION" is indeed complete.

The Young Democracy made their grand
essay last night in the Tammany Society, by
running ticket for officers consisting of John
Fox, Samuel j. Tilden, John MOrrissey, Manton
Marble George w. Mclean, Edward Hogan,
Augustus Schell, John II. McCunn, Andrew IL.
Green, James Hayes, John L. Develin, Sam
uel L. NJ. Barlow Henry Vandewater Wilson
Small George w. Roome, and Stephen
c. Duryea. Some days ago The World
assured the listening creation that when
the time came for electing new con-
trollers of the great Tammany organization,
the rampant Young Democracy would have
the votes to toss Sweeny and Tweed into
blank oblivion. The result sustains the we'll
established character of The World for arith-
metc and prophesy. Their ticket contains
sixteen names-it received twenty-three votes,
including that of the Wiskinkie. The Tweed
ticket received about $50 votes.

Canadian Government to prove that invasion
has been seriously intended by any sane--we
might venture to say, even insane-body of men.
We challenge Sirs Young and Macdonald to show
that the necessity professed exists for the sus-
pension of the Habeas Corpus act with respect
to the Fenians. What, then, must the people OF
Canada say when it shall be demonstrated that
their government, without accomplishing any
thing, has made them ridiculous, not only among
themselves, bat even to the malicious Fenians.
Sir John Macdonald may conceive that his
countrymen need a stimulant; but they GER
tainly do not need the stimulant OF alarm
without a cause or an object.

The work of taking the census in Philadelphia
will not be impeded for want of municipal assist
ance. The city government is ready in the kindest
manner to help Gen. Gregory, the L. S. Marshal,
in all sorts of ways. 1t has officially informed
him of its entire willingness to engage conformity
with him in the great task of numbering the
Phiadelphians. Gen. Gregory does not seem to
care much about this sort of help, and fights shy
of volunteer assistance. Mayor Fox even offered
the use of the police force but Gen. Gregory
was still in declining mood and said 1.-THE
duties of lis officers would be personal and
could not be performed by proxy" The
General evidently has his eyes open.

After an exciting debate, the House-or the
fraction of it present, for more than 100 mem
bers avoided the issue-reduced the tariff on
pig-iron from 50 to So per tun. The pending
bill had fixed it at s.. Other propositions
were submitted as compromises, but none of
them were received with favor, and finally the
vote was taken Gn Committee of the Whole)
with the result mentioned. We cannot but
consider the decision of the Committee an
unwise one, and are curious to see how the
vote will stand when it comes up in the House,
with an opportunity to bring members to the
test of the Yeas and Nays. 1t is not the first
time very ill-considered action has been taken
in Committee of the Whole, from which, under
the fire of the Yeas and Nays, members were
glad to retreat.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-19

Are we to infer that Senator Drake of Mis-
souri, is nothing if not sanguinary7 He evil
dently wishes the Army to become the chief
executive agency of the Government. In the
Senate yesterday he introduced an amendment
to the Constitution authorizing the President
to send troops into any State on the slightest
provocation, without waiting the reQuisition OF
State authorities; and subsequently, in a
speech of much bitterness and little argument
advocated his previous amendment to the
Georgia bill, quartering troops on the people
of that State. We are disposed to fear that
all this is spleen, not wisdom. OF course both
amendments Will die the death of neglect at
the hands of reasonable and thinking men.
New-York tribune., 1870-04-19

"Floors to let" is a sign that may now be
seen in many parts Of the City to an extent
never before known, and upon houses which
landlords would never at any previous time
have rented in that way. We think that an
unusual number Of small families in the mid
die classes have determined to try to get
along hereafter with the half of house, or
with a single floor. The rates of rent are
beyond what they can meet with anything
like ease, even though there should be, or may
have been,'a slight decrease in the demands of
landlords. The real difficulty in the way of
an indefinite extension of the system of
families occupying single floors, is in the fact
that but few of our NewYork houses were
constructed for that purpose, or are adapted
to it. There is the basement and there are the
first, second, and third stories-all planned on
the idea of the whole house being occupied by
a single family. But it is surprising, after all,
how, with little ingenious fixing" the single
floors even of such houses may be adapted for
the use of small families.

We do not choose to do more now than call
tbe attention of the country to the very
singular statement concerning two Judges of
the Supreme Court of the United States
contained in our Washington dispatches this
morning Mr.. Justice Strong, it appears, Is a
heavy stockholder in one of the railroads
largely interested in the Legal Tender case
to be reheard before the Supreme Court on
next Wednesday; but he proposes, before that
day, to transfer his stock, in order to attempt
to qualify himself for the duties of an impair
tial Judge. Mr.. Justice Bradley has already
effected such transfer of his interest in the
Camden and Amboy Railroad

Now, let MS see how the Democrats at Al
bany will march up to the fulfllment of their
own promises about giving back to this city
control of its own affairs Mr.. Hustled takes
them at their own word, and asks that they

Dukes administered to the Republicans for

The sometime threatened bill fixing a new
basis of Congressional representation was in
trOduced in the House yesterday, and passed,
the Southern and Western members supporting
it against the opposition of those from the
New-England and Middle States. The bill
fixes the number of Representatives in the
XLIld Congress at 275, exclusive of those from
States which may hereafter be admitted. 1t is
supposed that the new apportionment will in
crease the representation of the South and
West and lessen that of the Eastern States,
but how far cannot be determined until the pre-
liminary census report is in.

THE CHANcEs.-several of our Dem.

THE CHANcEs.-Several of our Dem
ocratic exchanges seem to think there is
slight grounds for hope that the Democ-
racy may win in the coming State elec-
tion, provided the Republicans don't
raise corruption fund" They charge
THAI the Central Republican Committee
made provisions to raise g a fund with
which to buy Democratic votes, and they
acknowledge that if the cash is forthcom-
ing, Repubhcanism win prove again vic.
torious. From this it would seem that
the !" leaders have not the most un-
bounded confidence, either in the slime
honored principles" the rank and file oi
the party, or themselves.

A LIVE DEMoCRAT.-Accordiu to
the San Francisco Bulletin, they have
live Democrat in the California Legisla-
ture, one Assemblyman Ryan, who quite
dumbfounded-and utterly astoeished the
shriekers of his party recently by his
utterances with regard to the fifteenth
amendment. He declared that he had
fought for the doctrine of State soyer-
eighty in the Confederate ranks, and
labored under the impression that he and
the doctrine had been badly whipped.
Hence he deemed the issue settled, and
disagreed with Gov. Haight and others,
who shirked the real fight, as to the pro-
priety Of re-opening the war of words.
he believed that Congress had the right
10 propose the fifteenth amendment, and
deemed the proposition legitimate con-
sequence of the war--at least it was in
accordance with the constitutional con.
struetion which triumphed in the war.
RYAN characterizes those who talk SO de
family about resisting the fifteenth
amendment, a gentlemen who were
not on hand when the opportunity offer
edso fight for the principles which the,
now profess. !"

The Cleveland Heraldsays Mr. Chase's
friends in Ohio are playing deep game,
and playing it to win. 1t notices the sig
nifcant fact that the Democratic press of
that State have suddenly become very
reticent on the subject of the Fifteenth
amendment; asserts that it has been set
tied that the ratification of that amend
ment shall be carried by the votes of the
"independcnt" Democratic Legislators !;
and forewarns the rank and file who are
now cursing the ''nigger" that "three
years hence they will find Mr.. Chase the
Democratic candidate, and the greatest
claim he will present for the vote of the
negroes will be that his. friends carried
the Fifteenth amendment through the
Ohio Legislature"

SUNDAY BILL.-A member of the
California Legislature, named Beige, has
introduced into that body an amended
Sunday bill, which makes prize fighting
rank as simple misdemeanor, punishable
by fine of not less than $50 or more
than $500, or by imprisonment not less
than ten days or more than three me nths.
Prize fighting on any other day but Sun
day, will still be considered felony If
this bill should become law, we may
expect hereafter that all gladiatorial ex-
ploits will come off on the Sabbath, as it
will thus be made less criminal and more
respectable for bruisers to fight on this
day than on any other in the calendar,
IN California. Another evidence of the
beauties and christianizing influences of
Democratic legislation.
