The. Missouri. Democrat, which,
with the Chicago 7Iibune, labored
50 zealously in the attempt to 7sor-'
ganize a new party, last fall, but
which, with its coadjutors, only
succeeded in effecting a breach in
the ranks of the Republicans Of
Missouri, through which Frank
Blair marched into the United
States Senate, is now repentant, and
evinces a disposition to bring forth
works meet for repentance. Wit
ness the following from q late issue:
eff there is anything in the Re-
publican cause worth standing UP
for, let it be maintained; if nothing,
say so, and strike the flag to the
Democracy! If not ready for this
humiliation, raise high the Repub-
lican banner with its glorious in
scriptions of nationality and justice,
and bear it forward to new victory.
Along the Republican line CLEANS
no other than the Republican en-
sign. The victory will be that Of
no faction, but only Of Republican
dsm over Democracy. 1t will not
be a Grant nor an nti-Grant victo-
ry, but q Republican victory. Let
Democracy first be defeated, and
let Republican factions settle any
quarrels with each other after
wards"

THE Ku Klux bill reported last
week by the special committee for
that purpose, is meeting with con-
siderable opposition from the Re-
publican side of the House. Mr..
Garfield, Of Ohio, addressed the
House on Tuesday in opposition to
the bill, arguing especially against
the suspension of the writ of habeas
corpus, and the authority given the
President to proclaim martial law.
He was ready to send an army to
the South to enforce the laws, but
was unwilling to alarm the people
Of the United States by calling into
exercise all the tremendous powers
of war. It is said that the views of
Mr.. Garfield are those entertained
by several other prominent Repub-
licans in the House, and that unless
the bill is considerably modified in
the particulars above indicated it
will fail Of passage. . ~ 2

the day was very bright and pleas
ant, hut along toward afternoon
scattered clouds begaHto dip over
the horizon, and then we had inter-
walls Of sunlight and shadow until
half past three, when strong breeze
sprung up from the south, which
continued for some time, and the
darker clouds were seen to clear
away in the southwest and thin
film of gray mist gathered in their
place; load rumblingf was heard,
and in less than two minutes the
whirlwind was upon us; in FIVE min
utes it had passed; then shower Of
rain for quarter of an hour, and
the storm was over. The wind in
its passage blowed down trees, tore
off shutters and signs, uplifted roofs,
scattered lumber piles, tore the
wharf boat from its mooring at the
levee, swapping the ringbolts to
which its chains were attached, and
carried the boat across the river
and landed it on sand bar on the
Illinois side. It also tore off the
roof and caved in the wall of Park
er & Vests agricultural warehouse
on the corner Of Fourth and Locust
streets, mourning damage Of about
$1,000.

Forthe improved tone of feeling,
efficiency of organization, and unity
Of purpose pervading the Republi-
can party Of Dubuque, Of which
this victory is the welcome evil
dence and result, there is no agency,
in our opinion, entitled to more
credit, than the Dubuque Times.
For the first time in more than q
decade of years the Republicans of
that city have an organ worthy of
their support and confidence; a pa
per entirely honest in intention,
brave in expression, untrammelled
in action, courteous in tone, ably
conducted, and whose conscience is
not carried in the pockets of its
proprietors. The influence of such
a paper cannot help but be bene-
fetal, to the party as to the public
at large, and we think that it is the
one thing our friends in Dubuque
have needed to heal their differ
ences and promote harmony and en-
thusiasm in their ranks.

L;ouor dealers in Ohio complain

Liquor dealers in Ohio complain
that under the new law women who
have shiftless husbands are suing
them for support, on the ground that
the men are prevented from provid-
ing for their families in consequence
of their indulgence in liquor; and the
women get verdicts in their favor,
sometimes even when it is proved
that the improvident husbands will
not work when they are perfectly
sober. The consequence is that in
some parts Of the State married
man cannot get q drink of liquor
without . written consent from his
wife-and very good consequence
it is.

Advices from Washington say
that the report of the San Domingo
Commissioners is finished, and that
it will, accompanied by a message
from the President, be submitted to
Congress some time this week. In
regard to the character of the mes
sage there is some interest. The
prominent supporters Of the Presi-
dent in this matter, in Washington,
are about equally divided as to the
manner of treating the report. One
party is of the opinion that the
President should simply transmit it
to Congress with no recommends
ton whatever; leaving it's disposal
entirely in the hands of that body, its
only legitimate arbiter. The other
party advise him to make a strong
appeal for annexation, and to ask
for prompt action by Congress, to
the end that the project may be put
through by whip and spur. 4ae
1t is confidently believed and pre-
dicted that the President will adopt
the former, and wiser course; and
every man who is truly his friend
will cordially second the hope that
he may do so. There is nothing Of
good, to himself or the party he rep
resents, to be attained by pushing
matters Of Legislation through by
mere force of executive will aided
by patronage and the arts Of the
lobby. We are entirely of the opin-
ion that without such aid this pest
ilent San Domingo project will fall
to the ground of its own weight, and
are as fully convinced that if it is
pushed to a successful issue before
an opportunity IS afforded for full
discussion of its merits-or, rather,
as we think, Of its dement's
success will only be attained by in
fiuences illegitimate and pernicious.
We hail the imputed determination
of President Grant to leave the sub
ject entirely to Congress, untram-
melled even by his recommends
tions, as return to the. good sense,
reason, and justice which character
ize his general administration of
affairs.
P.S. Since the above was writ
ten, the message of the President
has come to hand. 1t is mainly de-
voted to a history of the San Do
mingo negotiations and vindica-
ton of his own action therein. At
its close the President hands over
the whole matter to the people and
to Congress, with the single recon-
mendation that no action be taken
on the subject at the present session
of Congress. If left to that proper
tribunalit would have been settled
long ago.
