How they Did It.

On the first page of to-day's JOURNAL,
under the caption of "A Democratic Out,
rage, we publish an article from the Pitts
burg Gazette, which fully and clearly ex-
poses the most fragrant outrage ever Perpe-
trated in our State Senate. Mr.. Lyndall,
of Philadelphia, having filed his petition
setting forth his intentions to contest the
seat of Mr. Dechert, recently returned as
elected from the First District, to fill the
vacancy occasioned by the death of Mr.
Watt, the Democratic members in the Sen
ate, in violation of law and precedent, by
their united votes, refused to grant Mr..
Lyndall the privilege of contest by re.
tuSing to draw the customary committee,
designated by law. But read the article Of
the Gazette, to which We refer, and see to
what villainous means the Democratic mem
bers of the Senate resorted for the purpose
of maintaining themselves in power this
winter. 1t has no parallel in the whole
history of that once august and honorable
but nov degraded body.

ACCEPTS TIE CRowN.-King William
has issued an address accepting the tender
of the crown, and announces that in obedi-
ence to requests made, he restores the en-
pire, and will seek to bring back to Germa-
ny. the splcndors Of the ancient empire. The
address is characteristic of the old king
straightforward and free in the use of the
name Of the deity

The Montgomery (Ala.) journal, com
Of the Southern States, says: Here in
Alabama the ku kiu1 bands ride over the
country with more impunity than before
The groans of the murdered and lacerated
Republicans, borne by the midnight air to
the ears of the authorities, fail to elicit their
sympathy, and in many sections men are
made to feel that the annuuciation of Repub-
lican sentiments will be met with prompt and
speedy punishment" 1t also says of the
depreciation Of Alabama bonds: ''It is
simply the result which We anticipated il
the Democrats were successful -

The INCOME TAx-There is such a thing
1t seems, as riding hobby to death. Con-
gress has legislated all the reveu4se out of
the income tax, and We are startled by the
statement Of the new commissioner of in
ternal revenue that it actually costs more to
collect that iniquitous levy than it returns
to the treasury. This argument ought to
satisfy those who still demand its imposi-
lion, whether constitutional or unconstitu-
ilonal.
