The fostering Democracy

1t has been a matter of public
notoriety, ever since the event, that
the supporters Of Mr., Pendleton in
the Tammany Convention expected
the support Of the Indiana delega-
ton, and thought he had right to
it, and that after a few ballots the
Indiana delegation was divided by
bringing forward Hendricks, which
was fatal to Mr.. Pendleton; that
the New York managers were not
fixed upon any policy, some Of
them being timidly for Mr.. Chase,
and some for a Western man, but
not for Pendleton; that at length
the Ohio delegation executed a
flank movement by bringing out
Seymour; that all parties were sore
over this, especially Pendletonians,
and that they have royengeful
feelings toward Hendricks, which
they intend to turn to action if
Hendricks is put forward in the
next canvass But the statement
of these and the collateral circum-
stances in an authentic shape by
one of the actors, in a letter to the
New York Sun, is presented as a
revelation, and so we suppose will
be every repetition Of the narrative
of the interesting history and pres
ent conditions, which show that
the Democracy will have in their
intestinal broils abundant occupa-
ton for their energies Gin Ga
zette.

= They have at least one live
man down in Chillicothe. He is u
preacher; and having his eyes upon
some Of his church officials who
were playing the hypocrite, he came
out in sermon on last Sunday
evening, painting the characters Of
the different varieties Of protesting
christians found in all churches
Among others he painted the char
acter Of one, whom he said ''lived
nota thousand miles from here,
who, when in the church, professel
to be devout christian, who par
took Of communion, and otherwise
observed all rites and outward
forms prescribed by the discipline,
but who, when ont of the sanctuary,
was given to reviling his neighbors,
and went over to the devil, doing
more work forhimthan for the Lord.
AT this jmcture one Of the Rev
erend's high church officials, feeling
the pressure, Jumped to his feet and
cried out, why don't you men
ton me right out, > and inddlged
in many abusive remarks. The
minister finding be could not quiet
the guilty conscience of his hy-
pocritical church officer, and feeling
that he had chit his man. blew
out the lights and dismissed his
congregation.
That's the kind of preaching that
tells. Let the ministery be liCe
men who take notice of what is
going on in the world around
them, and then when they see men
"clothing themselves in the garb
of christianity to serve the devil
in,m let them follow the example of
Him who spoke as never man
spake, and say "woe unto you
8 cribes, Pharisees, hypocrits," DC.
Such preaching will interest the
people and hasten the millenium.-

The Two Emperors Going Home.

From our cable news this morning it will be
learned that the ex-Emperor Napoleon passed
through Verviers, Belgium, yesterday, on his
way to Chiselhurst; and also that the Empe-
ror William, on his way to Berlin, had arrived
at Nancy, and was looked for at Metz to
inspect the city and fortress. What con-
trast do the two men present Napoleon
goes home, no doubt, for the old mansion at
Chiselhurst contains his wife and child; but it
is, after all, the home Of the exile. William
goes home in the true sense. He goes back
to his own family, to his own people. All the
old familiar faces will greet him. Napoleon
will be received In silence, and amid not
little sorrow. Williams return will be
sh0w-a triumph. On the destinies of the
two men how different has been the work
of the last nine months! Fortune has show
cred her favors upon the one; mono is SO poor
as to do the other reverence. 1t would not be
wonderful, however, if Napoleon were the
happier Of the two men. Uneasy lies the
head that wears crown. Napoleon is now
free from that sorrow. The tables may yet
be turned. Although Napoleon was to blame
for commencing the war, he has as many
friends to-day as the Emperor William.

Congress Yesterday.

In the Senate yesterday Mr.. Sumner
offered to present memorial from citizens of
st. Domingo against annexation, but the
Senate declined to receive it under the point
of order that memorials and petitions from
foreigners could not be presented to the ex-
clusion of the business of the country. The
erudite Senator from Massachusetts, continued,
however, to inject the substance of the paper
into the ears of Senators in speech which he
made in answer to the point of order; but
finally the Vice President quieted him by
ruling that there was no question before the
Senate. The late chairman of the Committee
on Foreign Relations evidently feels as frisky
over his relief from the duties of that position
as young colt just let into pasture, and
the question arises whether he will not be
enabled to embarrass the administration mea-
sures as much in his free guerilla warfare
upon them on the floor of the Senate as he
might have done by the more regular system
of parallels in approaches in the committee.
In the House Mr.. Cox presented a resolu-
ton expressing the sense of the House that
the tariff should be for revenue only, and that
annual taxation should not exceed two hun
dred and fifty million dollars, including one
hundred and twenty-five million dollars princi-
pal Of the public debt The House being
without committees the resolution had fine
chance of passing, but Mr.. Kelley objected
and it went over under the rule.
The most interesting discussion of the
day took place upon Mr.. Becks bill
for general amnesty, which was amended by
Mr. Poland to except FIVE classes of persons
named in the fourteenth amendment. The
discussion was participated in by Mr.. Beck,
Mr.. Poland and Mr.. Elliott-the latter a
colored member from South Carolina-and may
be pretty fairly accepted as foretaste Of the
manner in which the House will discuss the
coming Ku Klux bill. Two-thirds failing to
vote for the amnesty measure, it was declared
rejected.
