TIE cFARaR AGAINST DEMOCRATIC MEM
BERS.

In its usually fippant way, the Charleston Da'-
IN Republican replies to our demand for proof as
to the charges of bribery and corruption alleged
against the Democratic members Of the Legisla-
ture It cites an article in the Marion Star, in
which assertion is made that there was Ga COM
pany of Representatives in the las. Legislature
known as the Forty Thieves" composed OF both
Democrats and Republicans, Of which company
Mtbe captain was o Democrat from one of the up
uer counties" A representative from Horny is
said to have belonged to this organization, and he
is alleged to be Democrat. The sum and sub
stance of ali this goes to show that there were
two Democratic members mixed up in this disre-
putable business, admitting these rumors' to be
literally true. Now, this is very far from the al-
legation made by the Republican, and to which We
dissented in the most decided manner, that near
ly every Democratic sold their votes in the most
rottenly corrupt way" Our political adversary
has not cleared its skrls Of the allegation that this
sentence was written for political effect, and it has
not adduced proof to sustain itself. Hence, we
conclude that it accepts the alternative presented
by u.s. and is willing to be adjudged In that man
ner. We have no disposition to deprive the Re
publican of such an unenviable reputation in this
regard.
We called for proof, and if necessary would
press it to the farthest limit. The Republican re-
iterates the charge, and only hints rather vaguely
that there is a time when it will publish the full
charge. or course, we must await its royal
pleasure. As that journal is prone to give advice.
It cannot refuse to accept little from this direcs
tion. which is to the effect that its reliance upon
members of the General Assembly as " n trust
worthy source" might not avail in court having
jurisdiction over offences against the law to pun
ish bribery and corruption. We think 1t would
be prudent in our eotemporary to make choice
selection of its members, therefore, unless it
proceeds upon the old adage-" set rogue to
catch rogue"
We have already stated that no Democratic
members ought to be shielded in the event that
these grave charges are brought home to him.
Certainly, the honest masses represented in the
Legislature by Democrats would promptly repudi-
ate any man, whatever his station or services, who
would be guilty of reprehensibe practices in pub
lie life But we repeat that, in our opinion, there
Is no Justice or reason in the sweeping charge
made by the Republican, and We shall await the
developments limited ut by that journal with the
confident expectation that nearly every Demo
cratic member " will be fully and completely ex-
onerated from the remotest taint of bribery and
corruption. If there be any number, however,
against whom adequate proof is alduced, none
will more promptly condemn their conduct than

THE MINORITY IN GoNGREss--1Ts GROWING
STRENGTH AND INFLUENCE.

The following rather noteworthy confession is
made in the Christian Union, published in New
York, and edited by Henry Ward Beecher
The Democratic side of the House is growing
stronger every day. Not, of course, in numbers,
but with the accession of Cox, of New York, and
Voorhees,, of Indiana, both ready debaters; there
seems to have been consolidation of forces. AS
result, more is yielded to them by the majority,
and no more days and nights are wasted in fill
clustering. The country regarded our gag-rule
legislation as sort Of war measure, and so up
held and defended it; and SO long as it was used
alone 10 carry the legislative part of the war,
it was we'll but it was too dangerous n party
weapon to play with beyond the days when it was
absolutely necessary. While it would be nation
al misfortune to have the control of The House
pass into the hands of Democracy, it will be a
matter of congratulation when the minority shall
be somewhat stronger; so strong in fact rs to be
able TO force deliberate action in all matters, and
to prevent the previous question being made a
party machine for compelling strict partisan
vote.
At present, the Democrats when they have a
chance, can make good show in debate. Cox is
sharp, quick and witty. Voorhees, is ready, and
has voice that of itself attracts attentions be.
cause il is such wonderful relief to have men,
Der speak so that he can be heard distinctly and
easily, without leaning forward and opening the
mouth, and setting followed hand behind each
ear Marshall and Beck ere men of ability, and
their positions on committees give them consider
able weight. Fernando Wood, whatever you may
think of him in New York, is one of the best
behaved men in the House, and his bearing is al
ways what the representative folk dream about be-
fore they come to Washington and see the real ar
ice with his feet upon his desk, and hear the roar
that rises in the galleries as if the foundations OF
new Babel were being put in below. James
Brooks would do credit to any Democratic assem-
bly, and Eldridge, Holman, and Randall can hold
their own with all comers in parliamentary skir-
mish. With the virtual settlement of reconstruc-
tion, the issues that have divided the House so
long, and which have necessarily developed much
bitter spirit, are passing away. and with them in
great measure the asperities they caused. AT
no time since the war closed has there been such
good feeling and so much good fellowship between
the two sides of the House as now prevail.

Gov. Alcorn, of Mississippi, has been inau-
gurated. In his inaugural address, regarding
Judges who have the long tenure under the Con-
stitutiou, he uses the following language: "Our
judges must be men of standing, that society can
not presume to ignore they must be learned in
the law beyond their fellows; men of courage and
of conscience, in hearty accord with the mission
of the men charged with the consolidation, in this
State. of the work of reconstruction"
