The Standing Committee.

1t is to be borne in mind that hereaf-
ter the Democratic Standing Committee
of the county is to consist of one men,
ber from each election district, and that
the Committees authorized to select its
own Chairman. No duties are to be
performed by the County Convention
in regard to the selection of the Com
mittee, but thenames ofCommitteemen
should be reported to the Convention
along with the other returns of the
delegate elections. In voting for a
member of the Committee in each dis
trict we suppose that separate ticket
headed" Committeeman I" can be used by
the voters, or that tickets for delegates
can have vote for Committeeman
added at the bot tom. In either case
the election officers will have no diff.
Guilty in making up returns; but both
plans cannot be used at the same cleo
tion without confusion.

A Governmental Failure,

The Territorial Government provided
for Washington city by President
GRANT and Radical Congress turns
out to be failure. The lower board of
the City Councils which were elected
by popular vote is under the complete
control of a set Of corrupt rascals. APP
preparation bills of the most extrava-
CANT character have been devised and
passed; and everything of the kind
has big job in it. An attempt to put
nearly five millions of dollars in the
hands of a set of rogues, with power tc
disburse it as they please has just been
exposed and the property-holders o.
the city are naturally indignant. The
probabilities are that Congress will be
petitioned by nearly every property
holder, without respect to party, tt
make the lower branch of the City
Councils appointive, as well as the othel
officers. This State of affairs is one o
the effects of negro suffrage.

THE Philadelphia Press and other
Radical journals persist in giving cur
rency to the statement that the C0lum-
5ian refuses to "hoist the names" of
the Democratic nominees for Auditor
and Surveyor General. We might with
just the same degree of propriety, say
that the Press does not support the Rad
ical nominees, for their names are not
to be found under the editorial head of
that paper. The assertion would be as
true in one case as the other, but true in
neither.
When the present editor took charge
of the Columbian he found the practice
prevailing of inserting the party nom-
nations at some other place in the paper
than under the editorial head. Approx
ing the practice we have continued it.
While despising the platform set up by
a small majority of the delegates to the
convention, we in most positive terms
declare that if any editor in the State
gives a more hearty and efficient sup
port to the nominees than we it will be
for the simple and irreversible reason
that he possesses more capacity than we
do. That is the whole story and any
body that wants to understand will have
no difficulty in arriving at the truth.

Mr.. DELANo, Secretary of the Inter-
ior, returned to his post only few days
ago, after protracted stay at the South
where, with Mr.. Cameron, General
Porter, of the presidents staff, and Mr..
Thomas A. Scott, of the Pennsylvania
Central, he was engaged in consumnat-
ing a speculation in railroads. Now he
has gone to Ohio, and taken with him
his son, who is chief clerk of the De-
partment, for another vacation. He is
replaced by General Cowan, Assistant
Secretary, who has just returned from
political mission to the Radical Conven.
tion at Columbus. This is the way the
business of the country is cared for at
Washington by the peoples servants.
They draw large salaries, and squander
the public time in private jobbery or
partisan schemes. Is it any wonder
that corruption pervades every branch
of the Government, that confusion de-
ranges the civil service, and that defal-
cations are the order of the day?- Wash

A Centralized Rpnublic.

NJ. Emile Girardin, a famous Paris
ian journalist avows himself in favor OF
q Republic in France-not the central
lied Republic Of 1913 and 'as, which fail.
cd-but II Federative Republic, like
that Of Switzerland or the United States.
Tho enlightened Frenchman is no doubt
right In his premises-that q centralized
Republic is neither more nor less than
first step to despotism; but the worthy
man, in talking about the United States,
has not kept pace with the progress of
events. Capitalization is the order of
the day here. Our once Federal Re
public has degenerated, or magnified
into consolidated dcspotism, and only
awaits the imposition of the Imperial
crown. All the other Empires of which
history makes mention were founded
by great men but the Grant dynasty
will enjoy the sing gular felicity that
none of its defendants, however worth
less and venal, can ever be reproached
with degeneracy.

The Rlgliis of Minoriiies.

We chronicle hopeful sign OF the
times. The rights Of minorltie5 consti.
tute subject of action, or theme of
debate, throughout the civilized world.
In this country the principle of majori-
ty rulc Is accepted by many of our best
men, without regard to party affection,
with material qualification. If any
man insist upon absolute rule of the
majority, denying the right OF minority
representation, place him with the mi
nority, and his vision will speedily
clear.
In establishing majority rule in this
country the fathers did not, IL is fair to
presume, intend to stiffe the voice OF
the minority. In fact, we know that
they intended nothing of the sort, when
reference Is made to the original ella use
of the constitution providing for the
election of president and vice. president.
The right of minority representation In
the highest offices of the nation was
there acknowledged. 1t is a pity that
the plan was put away for that which
now cumbers the instroment. Reflect
moment: Is there any more or better
reason for electing a president than n
governor by indircction? Under the
old system the minority had q fair
showing for the second highest Office in
the popular gift. Under the new, by
management, or accident, the minority
may bear arbitrary rule-thus reversing
the principle of majority rule. Arbi-
trary rule, whether by the few or the
many, is always oppressive. Therefore
the object should be to 50 provide the
checks and balances of power that abb
solute control of the machinery of gov
ernment may not accrue to any party.
The attention of the best minds in
England is turned to the same subject ;
and though the British masses appear
to be as Indifferent to the ways and
means OF political progress as are the
people in this country, the fact that the
subject is being discussed, and talked
about, both there and hero, is sort of
promise of better things. But here we
give so much homage to the names of
things that the constitution of things
themselves is suffered to pass without
examination. We talk much about
freedom, yet hundreds of thousands
cannot distinguish between liberty and
license. Every man has, theoretically,
voice in public affairs, yet often n
large minority is practically disfran-
chised so far as results are concerned.
OF course this is wrong even worse
than that-dangerous. Party manage
ment is essentially autocratic. Its be-
hests sound like decrees from throne.
Let us earn that names are not things,
and not always nearly related to the
things they are supposed to represent.
AS every man has rights, so less than a
majority must have rights which the
majority, perhaps by ten, is bound to
reipect. The Day.

TIE swift witness, "Reverend" 5. "A.
LAKIN, who recently "swore like our

eating committee, was the most marvel.
lous specimen of a Munchausen that
has yet been prod uceI. Others of the

mileage and per diem dangling before
their anxious eyes. KIRK and BERGEN

required to take certain leaps, but LA.

cially after informing the committee

indictments had been found in the Fed
eral Court, for violations of the civil

positive. Yet, When the Judge of that

grand jury,had brought in but one in

tried. This is about the proportion of
truth that runs through all the fabrica-

But LAX IN is entitled to the merit OF
inventing new phase Of Ku-kluxism.
After overcoming what he called his
deicacy," he swore with great en-.
phasis that a child had been exhibited
to him and others, marked with all the
peculiarities which are attributed to the
Ku.klux. That is to say, the head of
the child was elongated, was ornament
ed with two gristle horns, gracefully
projecting on eth or side, and other
equipments, which Senator MORTON
and various Radical leaders--who ought
to be well informed-have repeatedly
| said described his Satanic Majesty. LA
KIN examined this infant Ku-kluX
| with much care, but as the embryo
rebel had already closed his mortal ca
reer, he was deprived of much.desired
opportunity of gaining valuable infOr-
ma ton for the Government" con-
cerning his intentions and prospects in
life. Unfortunately for the cause OF
justice, the patriotic LAKIN neglected
to secure this specimen of tribe about
which so much public interest had been
excited. Why he did not have him
"bottled up" and sent to the President
or General BUTLER, is incomprehensi-
ble-if for no other reason, as q vindi-
| cation of the truth Of history, and that
future generations might have some
idea of what is called the Ku.klux OF
these unhappy times.
When interrogated further, LAKIN
swore bravely, that six other prodigies
OF this sort had appeared in as many
counties, although he himself had not
had the good fortune to encounter but
the extinct youngster, who had been
born with his armor on, and had nc
necessity for disguise. A colored speci.
men-it appears both races are infected
had attracted his notice, the shape OF
whose "chin " indicated the incipient
stage of Ku.kluxism, though the horns
were not then developed. This chap

ed before the committee and photo

A GRANT and CAMERON club has
been started at Baltimore. A desperate
effort will be made to nominate SIMON
CAMERON for Vice President, If the
Office holders should succeed in forcing
GRANT upon the Republican ticket.
The combination would be a most ap-
propriate one. What GRANT does not
know about making money out of Office,
CAMERON could soon teach him, and
the two together would manage to run
the White House in such manner as
to secure revenue greater than any

I" Dead Issups.S

Every now and then we have a cry
from the Press about "Dead Issues"
Now this is all folly. There are no
"dead issues" Principles never change,
and there are no such things as dead is.
sues. Issues may be changed for time
or not a propos as it may be termed,
but issues are never dead. Truth re-
mains unchangeable. 1t may be smoth-
cred but it will rise up again. 1t has
truly been said:
"Truth crushed to earth will rise
again." SO it is now. 1t is folly to talk
about "dead issues.' They who do so,
only exhibit their own weakness and
ignorance. In the present political
campaign issues most vital to the wei.
fare and interest of the American peo-
pie are at stake. Under recent acts of
Congress power has been entirely CEN
tralized in the President of the United
States. In Congress the representatives
of the people, at the recent session,
lavishly threw all the powers which it
should exercise and protect, into the
L
potentate, the Car of Russia probably
excepted, possesses such imperial pow
ers as the President of the United States
now possesses under the recent act of
Congress. Individual liberty, the rights
heretofore exercised alone by the States,
have all been thrown into his hands,
faster ian asked. Powers that hereto
fore would never have been entrusted
by the people to any President and
powers which no one man in any coun-
try claiming to be a Republic of States,
ought to possess, have been placed into
the hands of the President of the Unit
ed States. This cannot be denied. The
Ku.Klux Bill confers all of these pow
ers, and creates an Imperialism in this
country that was never dreamt of by
the founders of the Republic.
The living issues then are, shall this
state of things continue or shall the
country be redeemed from the thraldom
OF those who are seeking to overthrow
and have overthrown the dearest rights
ever possessed by American Freemen :?
There are now no other issues. And
the American people must now pass on
these issues, in the coming State cloc.
tions, during the coming elections this
year and in 1S72-Will the American
people confirm what Congress has done
wipe out the vested rights of the people
and of the States as they have hereto,
fore existed, and establish fully and
permanently an imperial despotism in
name and in fact, or shall the principles
of governm ent prevail in this country
as they were believed to have been lain
deep and firm in the fires of the Amer
lean Revolution Two parties now ex-
ist in the country-the one in favor OF

in favor of the distribution of power In
