A LIFELONG DEMOCRAT
CONGRESS-.

The House on Thursday and Friday
May 10th and 18th made some progress
in reducing the tariff. The article OF
quinine, on which such an enormous
duty has been levied, was placed on the
free list. The book and paper questions
came up and duty was placed at 12A
cents per pound, with some exceptions,
which go on the free list.
A resolution offered by Mr.. Beck,
making one.third of the customs duties
receivable in legal-tender notes, was
passed, Notwithstanding an attempt of
the Massachusetts protectionests to keep
the act from going into force until gold
was at par. A resolution to place Bi.
bles on the free list, was voted down.
An attempt of Butler to have the
House adjourn until the last Thursday
in November, for the purpose of keep
ing the repeal of the Habeas Corpus act
in operation, was decided out of order.
The House on Monday last passed the
Tariff and Tax bill, which is reduced
less than $45,000,0 900, and concurred in
the Senate's resolution to adjourn on
May 29th.

A "Rural Writer" who edits a Grant
organ in the interior Of Ohio, yesterday
encountered d. p. on Fourth street,
and gave him the grand hailing sign of
radical distress, as thus:
Colonel, we shall have rare sport
now. The convention was the broadcast
joke, the most roaring farce of the
season. Why, fear we shall all laugh
ourselves to death. Greeley is an educa-
ted idiot-a racing lunatic-honest
perhaps, but intolerably stupid"
Whereupon ID. PIT may be a
joke, sir, but it is one at which the adj
ministration cannot laugh. The ticket
nominated to day will be elected. The
man who can look into the face of
Grant, and afterward accuse Horace
Greeley of lack of sense, must himself
possess unlimited capacity for stupidi-
ty. Grant is the most inconceivable
idiot, and the most cold blooded, infa-
nous, heartless hog that God Almigh-
ty ever set on end. Even his tools in
Washington, who obey his behests and
do his dirty work, loathe and abhor
him. A man not accustomed to him
frequently does not appreciate, neither
can he conceive the depth and degrade
tion of his meanness. II, as you say,
Greedy is lunatic and an idiot, he will
of course receive the support of all the
idiots and lunatics in the country-and
they are by no means inconsiderable in
number. He will get the votes of all
the negroes in the country, and all the
whites of the south, We know him to
be honest, and he will get the votes of
all the honest men. In short, sir, he
will get the votes Of everybody except
the office-holders and the editors of
county printing, and unless l am very
much deceived they will be bowling
for him in less than three months. The
very alleged absurdity of his nomina-
tion will be strong point in his favor,
for you see the Americans are very
absurd people. So his election is in.
evitable. Cincinnati Enquirer.

What Mr.. ROntMell Might Do.

The Secretary of the Treasury, no
doubt, is not only a jealous friend of
the Administration whereof he forms
part, but an earnest advocate of the re.
election of President Grant. He has it
in his power to give that Admlnistra-
tion lift, to promote that reelection,
by doing a simple thing which will com
mand the hearty appreciation of nearly
al the American People. What we ask
him to do is to use The public money ly.
ing dead IN his Uattlts and dratUiag no in.
terest TO pay OF or National Debt, on
,chich the people are paying sic per cent.
interest.
Could anything be proved just and
wise by the simplest statement if this
is not? What arguments, what consid-
erations, could add to the force of that
statement?

Doubtless, the next monthly exhibit
which will appear early next week, will
show some reduction of this enormous
hoard of coin. But why not "reform il

Constitutional Reform.

The Hon. FRANCIS JORDAN, in his
recentlectureon on Constitutional Amend
ments, before the Social Science Associ-
alton of Philadelphia, proposed twelve
amendments to the Constitution. In
his repetition of it before the Pittsburg
Law association, on the 30th April,
inst, he advocated an important addi.
tional proposition, as follows:
XIII. Some further guarantees
against fraud and peculation must be
incorporated into our organic law.
We live in mercenary age. The
besetting sin of our day is covetousness;
and especially as manifested in the
making haste to be rich. This is the cor.
rupt fountain whence issues stream
of fpoisOn throughout the whole body
polite. Robbery by violence is not
more frequent than heretofore, in pro-
portion to our populations; but embez.
element, peculation, and all the varied
forms offraud, are rampant everywhere.
Men and officials who have been i'm.
plicitly trusted for years, and who have
grown gray in honorable service, are
suddenly discovered to be swindlers
and thieves. Others by great efforts
and most plausible professions, push
their way into Office, and places oftrust
and responsibility, not to serve the pub
lie or Others interested, but TO enrich
themselves. And less preteptious
scoundrels can stuff ballot box, or false
ly personate an honest voter for con-
sideration; and thus pollute, undermine
and destroy the most sacred rights of
the individual citizen, and the vital
and essential principles of Republican
government. Any convention which
fails 10 take cognizance OF these evils,
and to provide safeguards against them,
would be justly regarded as lamenta-
bic failure. Let the indignant voice of
outraged public virtue find proper ex-
preston in the fundamental law, and
let all forms of dishonesty be branded
as with the mark of Cain. All frauds
at elections should be punished by dis
franchisement of the perpetrators and
all embezzlements and peculations
should thereafter exclude the wrong
doers from all offices or posts of honor,
trust, or profit.
that men cannot be made honest by act
actments of Constitutional conventions.
This is doubles true, as an abstract
propositions; but 1t does not meet the
whole case; nor will ii justify our fail
ure to do what we can. Adequate pains
and penalties are an essential element
of every code, and taking human ma
ture as we find 1t, those who can be
governed in no other way must be per-
suaded by the terrOrs of the law.
1t Is proposed, also, to remove temp
tation from the weak. When, for ex-
ample, our representatives have no long.
er votes to cast for the Office of Stale
Treasurer, money, or other reward, will
no longer be offered as consideration
therefor; and when their jurisdiction
over private and special legislation
shall have been taken away, none will |
be found to tempt them from the paths |
of rectitude with mercenary induc-
ments.

Woe tO the sPaSbipsi

Jf the shadow of coming events can
fall sensibly upon the embruted heads
the Indian if the aborigine have any
of that subtle Celtic faculty of appre-
hension which suspects the coming woe,
there is today mourning and grief in
the mountains of Arizona, and dark
dismay under the lodge-poles of the
savage Apaches. For Vincent Colyer
has been recalled, and General Crook is
stayed from battle, while General How
ard has been launched like thunder
bolt at their devoted heads. If they
knew all that we know of this new COM
missioner, they would flee before him
as men evade the pestilence that walk
eth at MONDAY. He would be more
dreadful in their sight than Sherman,
deep to scheme and sudden to act; and
than Sheridan, yet red with the blood
OF the helpless Piegans. If he should,
instead of offering them battle, set up
a red mems bureau in their midst, they
will be infallibly ruined-stripped to
the last breech-cloth by the humane
exertions of this latest OF the apostles In
their behalf.
But the mission of General Howard
is worse for Arizona even than it is for
the Apaches; for, if the author of the
Bureau once affiliates himself with the
Indian Ring, and reinforces the old
iniquity with the ingenious new ap-
pliances of his invention, there's Terri
tory done for beyond all peradventure.
He may, indeed, save few scalps that
now fall to the share of our rowing red
brothers, but the Arizonese had better
welcome the battle, murder, and sud
den death of concerted Indian war
fare, waged to determination, than ex-
pose themselves to the dexterous and
all.embracing charity of the new Com
missioner Washington Patriot.

The Greeley Question.


Our columns have always bi'on open
for any properly written communica.
tion bearing on public questions, how.
ever much the writer might differ from
us in opinion. For this reason wepub.
lish lengthy letter from an old acquain-
tance and an able writer, on the all alb.
sorbing question as to the duty of the
Democracy in the pending contest.
We propose to abide by the action of
the Democratic Convention, believing
their united wisdom less likely to err,
than the judgment of single individ-
ual who can scan only portion of the
field. We have already given our opin-
ion that the Democrats should not en-
dorse Greeley, but make regular nom.
ination, and no reasons yet produced
have changed our mind. AS between
Grant and Greeley we prefer the latter,
because he is honest, capable, and more
nearly represents our views on the is.
sues to be decided. His election would
strengthen us all over the Union, which
the success of the former would not.
Ifthe Liberal Reformers mean what
they say, they cannot consistently sup.
port Grant II an honest Democratic
statesman ia nominated. 1t is easier
for them to go with us to defeat Grant,
than for us to unite and elect Greeley.
Besides the remembrance ofTyler, and
johnson teaches us how soon q man
veers back to his first love when in
power.
The President is not so important 10
the Democrats, as keeping their organ.
ization intact; and we can gain largely
even If defeated A President now
would have to confront an opposition
Senate, and perhaps an opposition
House.
We admit, with our correspondent
that in contest the aid of allies is i'm
portant, but our desperation is not sc
great as to compel us to surrender oul
organization numbering millions, to {
handful of men who have recently de
serted from the camp of the enemy ,ant
who do not even consent to make ;
pledge of future allegiance. They de
the lead forces, when we have equally
mandable generals. They express no re-
gret for the past, and make no pledge
for the future. We should at least ,cait
and act calmly and cautiously.
