An important consultation of administration
Republicans was held last Tuesday In the
marble room of the Senate chamber, to discuss
the course to be pursued towards the Repub-
licans who had joined the Cincinnati move
ment. One or two Senators like Chandler and
Edmunds favored war-to-the-knlfe policy,
and denounced them as traitors to the Repub-
lican party.
Other Senators, including Mr.. Wilson, ia
vored peace policy for the present, with the
future hope that the Democrats would nomi-
nate straight ticket, and that the Liberal Re-
publicans would thereupon all return to the
fold. 1t was intimated that the President held
that view, and that so far as this conference
could bind anybody, it was agreed to pursue
lenient course. A proposition that Grant
should withdraw, and let the Republicans unite
was seriously discussed.

the Democrats and Liberal Republicans upon
the Presidential ticket means a union upon
State tickets and upon Congressional candl.

would mean the election of majority of Dem.

of Representatives. These Congressman woule
form the administration party, and it would b'
vital to the administration to hold them together
in unity, which could not be done unless thu
Democracy should be conceded proper share
in the federal counses and fair proportion o

important Consideration.

Neither the country generally nor the South
could be benefited By having Democratic
President and Republican Congress. for the
President in this case could do nothing benef
eial, but would probably as 10 the case of j ohm
son, be the means of banding the Republicans
together, in hostility to the South.
On the contrary, if we could secure Demo-
cratic Congress, we would be safe from injury,
even though the President should be hostile
If the Democrats unite with the Liberal Re-
publieaRs. and by such union secure Congress
in which the united strength of the Democrats
and Liberal Republicans would constitute a
majority, our interests would be secure. This
is what can be, and should be done. The cleo
tion Of Greeley and Brown by Democratic votes
involves the inevitable accompaniment of the
election Of Democratic majority in the lower
house of the next Congress. This is worth more
shan the Presidency or the Vice Presidency, or
both together; for Congress is the real seat of
power ia our government, as the plain lesson
of the last eleven gears has demonstrated A
Democratic President, with Republican house
to oppose him, would be the most helpless Of
beings; but a Democratic house, even with a
Radical President in the White House, would
De an immense acquisition while Democratic
House with Horace Greeley in the White House
and B. Gratz Brown as presiding officer of the
Senate, would be all but {. full Democratic as
cendancy. It would undeniably be something
UNNECESSARILY better than Pendleton, or Han
cock, or Hendricks in the White House with
his hands fettered, and hostile house finging
bis vetoes back ia his face.
Between Greeley and Democratic Congress,
and Grant and 8 Radical Congress Democrat
ought not to hesitate an instant yet this is the
solitary choice All the Democratic National
Conventions that can assemble this year cannot
alter it. The presentation of third ticket, In
tead of widening the field Of choice, would, in
