The Democracy and the Workingmen.

There is hardly anything that can be
imagined which the Democracy may not
claim with more propriety than they can
claim that they are the friends of the work
ingmen, and that the cause of labor finds in
them its most earnest and efficient advo-
Gates. Why, does not Gen. Cary know that
at the very last session of Congress, when
Mr.. Hoar of Massachusetts,, supported by
large majority of hi. Republican associates,
endeavored to procure the passage of an act
providing for the appointment of commits
sion for the investigation of the labor ques-
ion, he was opposed by every Democratic
member of the House? Assurances were
given that practical workingmen should be
adequately represented in the proposed board
The movement was awse and patriotic one,
having in view the necessity of approaching
so complicated and obscure a question
philosophically and intelligenty, and not
empirically, as Gen. Cary approaches it. 1t
had the warm support of the labor organiza-
tions. 1t was prominently the thing to be
done at the existing stage of the labor agta-
ton. But the men whom Gen. Cary exhorts
workingmen to support as their truest friends,
contemptuously pushed it aside We think
this recent fact, together with the Democrat
ic record as labor-owning party, and as a
party whose main object to-day is to place
labor in the South back so far as possible to
the place where it was in 1861, is sufficient to
dispose pretty effectually of Gen. Cary and
his arguments. 1t only remains to be said
on this point that if the tariff has proved in
furious to the interests of the laboring men,
no one in the country is half so responsible
for it as Horace Greeley, the Democratic can
didate for President.
The brain, the heart, the soul of the pres
ent Democratic party is the rebel element
mt the South, with its Northern nile. aud
sympathizcrs- Ii is rebel Mt the core te
day 1t would come into power with the
hate, the chagrin, the wrath, the morrill,
cation of ten bitt years to impcI and
guide its steps. Whatever enhancement
may be deserved by our national sins. we
must hope this disgrace and humiliation
will be spared to us.'-[ Horace Greeley.
IT is rumored that the old Hunher leaders
in this State di,trusting their ability to vote
for the Sage of Chappaqua when they come
to the pinch, are bringing themselves to face
the terrible ordeal the fifth of November, by
meeting once week and solemnly going
through with the formalities of voting for
Mr. Greeley. If the leaders have to familiar
izs themselses with "crow diet" what, we |
ask, VIII the rank and file of the Democratic
mule do?

United States District Court ut
DanyiIlc.


Correspondence OF the Richmond Dispatch.
49,. DAsvILIE, Va, March 6, 1872,
The attention OF the United States Court
was occupied to-day in hearing evidence and
listening to arguments in the case of E.:and
Drury Smith, charged with violation Of the
revenue laws. After short argument from
both sides, the case was given to the Jury,
who, after short retirement, rendered YER
dict of "not guilty"
The next case called was that Of James
Smith (coloredl, for robbing the United States
mail, and who was recently arrested in Rich
mond and brought to this place for trial.
The latter part Of to-day was occupied in
hearing evidence Of witnesses.
One very laughable incident occurred in
court to-day. A colored man from Charlotte
county, Va, was brought upon the stand to
testify in the case above alluded to, and when
being questioned in regard to the time a GER
tain occurrence took place, replied that it was
the twentieth month; and upon being ques-
toned as to his knowledge of the days of the
month or the months of the year, replied
that he did not know one month from the
otner, or anything about its days, only he
knew it was the twentieth month. He was
very competent witness, no doubt, and
would probably make good juryman.
From the quantity Of business on the
docket there is no telling when this court will
adjourn.
The roads completely blockade tobacco,
consequently our business men have but lit
tie to do except attend the sessions of the
court now sitting. +.
