THE DEMOORATTO ADDREss.

In the Congress of the United States, at
Washington, the Democratic party are fortu-
nately in a minority. At Albany, the capital
of the State of New York, as well as in New
York city, and in some of the Southern States
and districts where Ku-kuxism is most RAM
pant, they are in a majority. We refer to
these well-known facts because, in view of
the tone of the address issued by the Demo-
Gratis in Congress yesterday, they afford a
forcible new illustration of the old rhyme
setting forth that
"When the devil was sick the devil monk would be;
When the devil got well the devil monk was he."
The Democrats at Washington, being in
minority, complain that ''partisanship is the
only test applied to the distribution" of
Federal patronage, they are shocked at the
enormous amount of the national expendi-
lures, and they burn with indignation at the
thought that ''the public offices have been
multiplied beyond all precedent to serve as
instruments in the perpetuation of power"
While it is quite possible that there
is some truth, perhaps too much, in
these charges, the wonder is that the
party which has it's chief seats of power at
Albany and New York, and which finds its
master-spirits in the Tammany Hall Ring,
should presume to make such accusations at
time when the inherent rottenness of its
own organization is so painfully apparent.
Surely some better time should be chosen for
these accusations than the moment when
Tweed is completing his arrangements for
the extension of a series of unprecedented
exactions upon the taxpayers of New York,
and when the evidences of his controlling in
huence over the Democratic organization are
being multiplied 1t may be wrong to make
partisanship the only test applicable to
the distribution of patronage, but
the Democracy, who invented the
doctrine that to the victors belong the spoils,
who have maintained it with vigor un-
known to all other political organizations,
and who do not even now pretend that they
will ever depart from this cardinal principle
of their faith, are not the men to denounce
the Republicans for partial imitation of
their example. However wrong it may be TO
multiply public offices unnecessarily, what
prudent citizen would venture TO look for q
reform Of this abuse to the party of Tweed
and Tammany Hall? Coming nearer home, how
many good policemen did Daniel
M. Fox keep in Office, despite their Republi-
canism; and how many bad ones did he ap-
point and retain in Office, despite their def
ciencies and delinquencies, simply because
they were jealous AM faithful adherents OF
the Democratic Party2 And how many De
mocrRtie State legislators and O0unoilmen
would hesitate to provide profitable places for
their partisan associates if they had the pOweri
The evening telegraph. [volume] (Philadelphia [Pa.]) 1864-1918, 1871-04-21

Aside from the moralizing passages Of the
address Of the Democratic ooneressmen, its
other paragraphs relate mainly to revenue
reform (so-called) and the Ku-klux bill. The
talk about revenue reform means free-trade,
but the authors Of this document have been
too cowardly to say 80 in plain English.
They wished to secure the signatures of all
the Democratic Senators and Congressman,
and as few of the number we're anxious to
win tariff votes in their districts, it was
deemed impolitic to deal fairly and frankly
with the people. The true attitude of the
party is well described in the statement that
il is for free-trade everywhere except where
more powerful interests demand protection,
when it suddenly becomes, in such particular
localities, an ardent champion of domestic
industry. But in reality it has not been for
many years heartily in favor of protecting
anything except slavery, and since its Aboli-
ton it is at this moment heartily and sincerely
in favor of the principle more nearly allied to
slavery in its practical operation than any
doctrine extensively advocated in this coun-
try, to wit, free-trade.
The Ku-klux clause of the address is false
in some of its assertions and ridiculous in
others, 1t has the audacity to assert that the
Democratic party has no sympathy with
attempts to deprive any man Of his rights
under the Constitution-an assertion which,
in view of innumerable outrages upon colored
citizens and in view of the doctrines openly
proclaimed by a large portion of the Demo-
cratic party, is manifestly untrue. 1t also
alleges that 'no word of conciliation, of kind
encouragement, or fraternal fellowship has
ever been spoken by the President or by
Congress to the people of the Southern
States" This assertion is so preposterously
and notoriousIy false that it is positively
ridiculous. The whole address is SO notably
weak and deficient that it is charitable to
suppose that its author before preparing it,
had INDUCED in an extra allowance of Bour-
bon, by way of mitigating his grief over the
tendency of recent political events to heal
dissensions in the Republican ranks and to
ensure continued Republican ascendancy.

SMITH, that incorrigible ''Rooster, suffered
a relapse yesterday afternoon. In fact, he
was subjected to another attack of pneu-
matics, which was severe enough while it
lasted, although happily it did not last long.
1t was under the guise of Pennsylvania
and New Jersey Transportation Company"
that Smith introduced his submarine tubes
to the House. Sam Josephs, who finds it
quite impossible to be stranger to virtue on
all occasions, riddled Smiths tubes so effectu-
ally that they would not hold "sIuSh, and an
indefinite postponement put an end to the
business. Smith must try again.

RELIEF FOR WAR DAMAGES.


We give to-day the report of special COM
mittee of the Senate, which presents an in
teresting review of the causes of the destruc-
tion of Chambersburg by McCausland in
1864, and of the spoliation generally of the
border counties by the Rebels, and it pre-
sents the question of responsibility for these
claims in a manner that cannot fail to carry
conviction with it. The committee are
unanimous on several most vital primary
points They all unite in testifying that the
people, and not spectators, are the parties
before the Legislature; that the measure pro-
posed will stand the severest test as to the in
tegrity of its aims, and that the General
Government is justly or legally
responsible for the liquidation of the claims.
The only diversity of opinion ameng the
members of the committee is as to the proper
method of presenting the matter to the Gene
raj Government. The majority unite in a
proposition that seems at once just and prac-
ticable. They say that by reason of the
withdrawal of the troops, organized by the
State for our own defense, to reinforce the
defeated Federal armies Chambersburg was
burned and the exposed counties suffered
great losses, and therefore the General Gov
ernment owes it to the State and to the de-
spelled citizens to make restitution. They
say, furthermore, that these citizens cannot
make successful claim before Congress, but
that the State, acting in her capacity of a
great Commonwealth, can do so without fear
of failure, whenever she can do so in
her own name. The majority of the
committee do not propose to pay the
claims, nor do they ask that any new debt
be incurred, or that taxes be increased; but
they apply an amount less than the taxes
of the raidsd counties to the payment Of
interest on the claims, and thus bring them
into the possession of the State to recover the
money from the General Government with
which to pay them. This measure, it il
claimed with reason, will afford substantial
and immediate benefit to the people who
have lost their property, without imposing
debt or taxes upon the State, and secure th'
payment in full of these extraordinary losses
at an early day by the United States. Itseeml
10 be free from Objectionable features, an,
il win doubtless afford the much needed re
lief to the citizens who have suffered, with
out in any degree impairing the very hatter
ing condition of our finances and credit
The committee seem to have united in
careful effort to have all speculative, frivo
Ious, and dishonest eams excluded from tn
benefits Of the bHI; and If that be faits4ull
done, the measure viii be satisfactory to th
public.
