The hypocritical scandalmonSer Of
the Democratic party of Cecil, unburthens
itself of one of it's characteristic pharisai-
cal articles last week, in allusion to The
Wing giving publicity to the belief enter
tanned by many, that there was some cheat
ing done at the late election by that party
in the First District. In place of the
charge being "joke," as the Democrat
would have it believed, it was, and is still
insisted on by Republicans of that and
other Districts. They say that one of the
Judges went two or three miles to receive
a vote from Democrat unable to go to the
polls, and that numbers were deprived of
their votes by having their names omitted
from the Register; besides cheating in
other ways. The Tammany robberies were
all "joke," and the Ku-Klux outrages
are "jokes" also with the same ravisher
and thief of reputation and private char
acter. The public are too well acquainted
with this class Of Democrating "jokes. y
That party is a noted little joker" If
anything is wanting to convince the public
of the truth of charge, let the Democrat
deny it, Or yiee cersa let the same Baron
Munchasen take solemn oath that thing
is true, and every honest man in the count y
is satisfied that it is false. Prominent
Democrats attribute Mr.. Tones success
in the county to the lies the Cecil Dsmocrat
fabricated and published about him If
this moral Bedoin had had little more
rope, Mr.. Tones majority would have
reached five hundred in the county.

Since the November elections, the Dem
ocratic party has about lost all hope o:
making a stand against Gen. Graut fo
President for 1872, and the leaders are jus
now anxiously casting about for some flu
sion, or candidate of some other party, t,
hook to. They have hopes in a disaffecte'
portion of Republicans, who are jealous o
Grants popularity with the masses. Th
pudiation scheme is dead. Running Unto,
generals on Democratic platforms has prov
ed an utter failure. The Ku Klux treason
wont carry the Southern States next fall
for they see that the Administration i
determined to crush that tbinly-veilcd Sc
cond attempt at rebellion, on the part OF
the chivalry." The Southern masters OF
the party would take no stock in the
New Departure, having built their hopes
at the time of its inception on the Ku- kluS
plot. The Democratic party is about a,
near adrift as any party ever found itself.

schools, and invite capital and labor from

ton.

Difficulty Possible with Spain.

The Government has information that
the Spanish volunteers. originally organ
lied to quell the Cuban insurrector. have
at last turned against the representatives
of the Spanish government in Cuba, and
threaten not only TO wrest the Island from
Spain, but to destroy all interests there
indiscriminately, including, of course
American interests. The truth is. the vol
unteers. always lawless and fierce, have
mastered the Government. and except
Spain can send regular troops in short
time to the Island, it is probable that the
volunteers will do what the Cuban insur-
gents failed to accomplish. The volunteers
are manifestly bent upon plumber. and the
will not be particular whether they injuie
friend or foe. In view of this fact our Gov
eminent has taken proper steps to protect
American interests in CUBA. The matter
was fully discussed at the Cabinet meeting
on Tuesday, but before that Secretary
Robson had, upon information furnished
him, ordered four vessels of war to proceed
with all possible despatch to Havana, his
action was fully endorsed by the Cabinet.
The Nipsic, Terror, Kansas. and Severn
are now in Cuba waters. Besides these.
the Nantasket and Shawmut are in the
vicinity of Havana, and will act with the
iouf Vessels recently despatched. These
ships carry altogether about thrty-five
guns. The Terror is an iron-cad monitor
and very powerfully armed. The comman-
der has orders to protect Americans in
their lives and property at all hazards.
For every outrage the Consul General is to
demand satisfaction and indemnity, and if
it is not forthcoming the vessels will open
fire on Havana. The Government has be-
come wearied with diplomatic correspon-
dence with Spain which has been alike
fruitless, and so far as Spain is concerned
insincere. The Spanish minister at Wash
ingtOn asserts that he has no official infor-
nation concerning the disturbances in
Havana. He does not however, entertain
very high opinion of the character of the
volunteers. At all events. our Government
is determined to prepare for any emergency
that may arise.

The discovery of the fact that Con-
gresham Leach, of North Carolina is a
member of the Kuklux Khan reveals how
widespread is that organization. and how
thoroughly it permeates the entire society
of the South. Ex-Governor Holden, of
North Carolina, believes that every South
ern Democrat Congressman is member of
the Khan, and we think the facts, if fully
brought to light, will support him. He
asks Congress what it is going to do, and
we repeat the question. Any man who
subscribes to such a document as the con-
stItution Of this infamous band is not only
an enemy of his country, but dead to every
generous emotion or feeling. Before the
investigation is through it is probable that
there may be revelations which will impli-
cate many Northern democrats, and we
would not be surprised at such result. 1t
is barely possible that not only the idea of
the organization, but the money came from

The "Possum Policy" is the last
dodge of the Democracy. That little ami
nal. the O'possum seldom climbs higher
than the top of persmmon tree, and is a
very good emblem for Democratic aspirants.
When caught in thieving raid upon a
hen roost the O'possum fegns death and
keeps quiet till his pursuers pass. 1t is
this phase of the animal the Democracy
propose to initiate in future. The O'pos-
som is favorite game of Caesar and Pom
Ply, and these hunters are equally keen in
pursuit of its party imitator. The Postum
party would make an excellent name for
the new party.
