Scott md Gna,reff

Thomas A. Scott and John W. Garrett, two
great railroad kings, have lately been trying to
outvie each other in their ability to dictate meas
ures in their own interests or the promotion of
the interest of their respective roads, This spirit
of absolute control Of affairs has known no
bounds in the contemplations of either of these
gentlemen. Legislatures, Governors and Con-
gressmen have been considered by them as their
common property and easy prey. 1t is matter
of common notoriety among the knowing ones
OF certain States that the rustic Of the garments
of these men 10 the hearing of the legislature
influences them to that legislative policy dictated
by the wish of him, the rustic of whose robes is
heard in the vicinity of the legislative halls.
Lately Mr.. Scott sat down in Washington one
day and told Congress he wanted the best park
in Washington city TO grace the arrival Of the
trains from New York over the line under the
control of the Pennsylvania Central Railroad,
and Congress, without any hesitancy, granted
him the right TO bore tunnel under the Capitol
and TO run bis locomotives into the park in the
centre of the city. This was considered great
victory over John " Garrett, and it was But
Mr.. Garrett was then engaged in baggng the
New Jersey Legislature. He soon succeeded in
obtaining charter for a new road through New
Jersey to New York This gives Mr. Garrett a
through line TO New York from Washington
BY this means be will be in a situation, when it
rs completed to compete with Mr. Scott 10 his
line betEeen the commercial aud tic political
centres of the Republic. We do not believe this
result of the gigantic rivalry between these two
to the travelil.s p-o,4e or-.Jse who have freight
to convey owe, the two competing lines.
With two men, OF gigantic enterprise like that
possessed and exercised by these, operating rival
lines heiween these two points, il is pateat i'm
possibility that the public who fad il convenient
TO patronage the one or the other should cot be
materially benefited Each will endeaTor TO
furnish better tsaFeling facilities than the other
Each viii make it point TO make quicker time
than The other Each will strain point TO give
every ssing that enterprising travel will demand,
at cheaper rate than the other. Thus the i'm
anense traEei that passes between these two points
sill reap what benefit there is to be derived
fnGQ the great rivalry kept up between these
two gigantic men who weld such an influence
an the arena OF politics, trade and travel. st is

% The question of the establishment of a
local home government for ireland was con-
siderably discussed in Parliament 90 Thurs
day of last week. Nr. Butt an Irish member
from limerick, made lengthy speech in which
he demanded home governm ent for Ireland
and warned the House Of ComRahs, if they re-
fused to grant this demand, it woald endanger
the peace and security Of the Empire.
The proposition met with the violent Opposi-
ton of Mr.. Gladstone and upon his motion in
the premises the bill was refused second
reading. This may be policy by Which Mr..
SlsSstOne hopes to hold on to his position SIS
Prime Minister for brief period, but it must
sfnally re act in favor of those who are fighting
, he battleqf Republicanism in Great Britain.

April 18th, 1871, Horace .5,u,eSley use iese
words in endorsement of the Ku Klux bill: "a
solid Republican vote in the House on Thursday
adopted the amended Ku-Klux bill One hum
dred and eighteen Republicans stand array cd on
the record, opposed to ninety one Democrats, who
voted against the bill with a uuanimity that in
dictated how vital party measure they consider
edi t. This result is gratifying for several reasons
1t arrays the two parties in Congress upon this
question so that no one can fail to understand
that Republicans favor The protection Of citizens
and the enforcement of the laws and that the
Democrats oppose any legislation forsuch pur-
poses, because it damages their prospects. tad
vances this most momentous legislation, and, as
we believe, insures its success in the Senate and
in its application at the South The example of
the House in promptly adopting this bill must
not be lost upon the Senate. Under it the bill J
as it stands much can be done to insure TRANQUIL
lily at the South and protect our feow-cilizens
there Much Of its effectiveness depends upon
the disposition which the Senate displays in dis
cussng it, Let as hare brief debates, prompt ac-
tion, and a united uote in its .farOr"

Ku-Klux bills, whose execution has been the front
of Grants offense 10 the untamed Democracy =
Mr.. Greeley thusemp hatically endorses the action
of Congress in suppressing the Ku-Klux of the
South. Do the Democrats expect Mr. Greeley,

rs In the Tribune Of April 18th, 1870,
Horace Greeley says eve don't think the
Democratic party anywhere north prescribing"
We suppose this is why Mr.. Greeley has con-
sented to sacrifice himself in its destruction.
Like Sampson in the temple, he will pull down
its pillars and kill it and himself in the same
effort.
In August 1871, in speaking of fusion of
the Republicans and Democrats in regard to
certain candidates on the respective tickets in
1870, Mr. Greeley said, contemptuously, in his
Tribune to Alonzo B. Cornell, "There IS such a
thing as selling yourself too cheap" It would not
be amiss for Mr.. Greeley to ponder over this
advice just now.
\ In May, 1870, Mr.. Greeley said in his Tri
6une, as advice to the South Patience and
let the South stick to her planting, keep her
Ku-Klux quiet, and trouble her head but
slightly with politics.
On January 25th, 1871, Mr.. Greeley con-
demned Carl Shurtz and Gratz Brown for carry
ing Missouri over to the Democrats by boiling
the regular nomination of the State Conven-
ton, and said eve trust they will get sick of
their strange company and come back in season
for 1872"
Mr.. Greeley could not do better thing for
his reputation or for the good of the Republican
party than to follow his own advice now.

their wonted disposition to find fault would
seek its ventilation in charging him with the
violation Of his duty in not having the laws faith
fully executed.
1t must be remembered that President Grant
is not responsible for the existence of this law.
He advertised the people of the nation in his
inaugural that they might expect at his hands
the faithful and rigid execution of all laws upon
the statute books. And this law has become
such by the action of the American Congress.
President Grant had nothing to do with it until
called upon to have it executed. The repre-
sentatives ofthe American people in their legis-
lative capacity passed the act and made its
provisions "the law Of the land" And that
law and its execution to- day are backed up by
the sentiment of vast majority of the people
of this nation. 1t was the sentiment of the
people behind their Representatives in Con-
gress that conceived the idea of the law and
determined ty it to furnish protection to those
who are left to the merciless barbarities of the
inhuman Ku-Klux. President Grant is not
responsible for this sentiment and its conse-
quence in the shape of the law and the punish
ment of the criminals who transgress its provi-
sions.
With this face on affairs the objection re-
solves itself into this: The Democratic party
is opposed to the protection of people in the
South, impositions upon whom may be
practiced by inhuman men because their vic
Tins are guilty of cherishing Republican senti-
ments and voting Republican tickets. And
that party is opposed to the punishment of
those who perpetrate these outrages. Its
method of making its point is to secure the de-
feat of President Grant and place some one in
the Presidential chair who will refuse to exc
cute this Ku-Klux law and furnish protection
to American citizens on American soil. They
could not repeal the law by electing Presi-
dent. The American Congress is squarely Re-
publican in both Houses and will remain so
until equal and exact justice" prevail through
out the land. 1t would be an impossibility to
secure the laws repeal and in conflict between
the President and Congress, the people backing
the latter, would be sure to prevail in its un-
dertakings But they would secure the public
patronage, which is the main spring of their
deep devotions in bowling "anything to beet
Grant" The defeat of President Grant, to
them, means the notification of Ku-Klux laws
and unlimited license to Ku-Klux Klans.

GREELEY ON GRANT.-When Grant was run
ming for President in 1868 Horace Greeley said :
eRichmond would not come to US until we sent
Grant after it, and then it had to come. He
has never yet been defeated, and he never will
be. He will be great and successful on the
field of politics as on that of arms"
In 1854 Mr.. Greeley said: "We do not know
Just where Grant is going to "strike" but we
would advife airy one who happens to be in
