what Democracy is.

Mr.. Samuel J. Tilden aptly describ-
ed the principles of Democracy in his
speech at Rochester, when he said that
its creed is compose of two ideas =
First, to limit as much as possible all
governmental power charging al
ways and everywhere the domain of
individual judgment and action; sec
sondly, to throw back the government
power necessary to be exercised as
much as possible upon the States, and
the, localities approaching in every
case the individuals to be affected.
In defining the position of the DEM
ocratic party with regard to the CEN
tralization of power IN the affairs of
government, Mr.. Tilden compressed q
volume of fact and argument into a
single paragraph when he said:
Forty millions of people guided by
a single hand would sweep over all
dissent and all resistance OF isolated
and disorganiZed individuals. Leok
at France; half million of Office
holders and half million of soldiers
moved from the center make civil
liberty impossible. oppose central
ism because it creates an irresponsible
power, and irresponsible power is al
ways corrupt. A government ruling
all the affairs of individuals from the
Atlantic to the Pacific, from the great
Lakes to the Gulf of Mexico, would
be the most incompetent for what it
would undertake; the most oppress-
i've, the most irresponsible and the
most corrupt government of which
history affords any example. Itwould
repeat and exaggerate the crimes of
the W orst government in the worst
age. Already the system is maturing
its fatal fruits. Decentralization in
public trusts prevails to an extent
never before known in this country
and scarcely believed to be possible.

How the scalawags steal.

The report of that part of the Ku-
Kfux Committee of Congress which
was detailed for the purpose on the
debts incurred by the Southern States
and the rates of taxation there is a
most startling and interesting exhibit,
for it shows that those debts have been
increased in the last five years in an
aggregate $500, 100000 while taxation
has Increased in proportion. 1t is for
the purpose of keeping these thieves
and oppressors of the people in power
that Grant has declared martial law,
and sends bayonets into the Southern
States. When the people murmur at
the heavy: burthens and oppression
that is heaped upon them by the
thieves and tyrants who rule over
them. it is regarded as fresh evidence
OF their disloyaity and that they do
not e accept, the situation" and more
federal bayonets are brought into SER
vice to awe them into tame and silent
submission to the tyrants who are
pfundering them.

THE Democratic members of the
State Senate, with the aid of two hon
est Republicans, Messrs Easement and
Howard, succeeded yesterday in fore
ing the adoption of Mr.. Patrick's res
olution requiring the journal of that
body to set forth the fact that the
election of Sherman was declared
while members were on the floor ASK
ing to have their votes recorded. An
effort to similarly correct the record
of the House failed. A protest against
the usurping act of the Lieutenant
Governor is being prepared. It is
now made public that two Senators
and four Republicans who voted for
Sherman upon the first ballot intended
to transfer their votes to Cox, and it
was knowledge of this fact which
impelled the desperate party managers
to resort to fraud. Jacob d. Cox
would haxe been the Senator elect
from Ohio to-day, but for the usurpa-
ton and fraud of Jacob Mueller

The beauty of the salt tax duty is
shown in the fact that in Toronto,
Canada, salt is 81 50 per barrel, or
about 81 so in greenbacks. On this
side of the line it is 50 10 barrel
In both quotations the salt is from the
Onondaga Company. The difference
is in the protection against our people
of one dollar a barrett. The Toronto
Globe says that American beef and
pork can be packed more eheaply in
Canada than at home, even when
American salt is used. And to verify
its statement large packing establish
ments have been moved across the
border, and provisions are sent thence
direct to Liverpool. The statistics OF
the packing industry of the West will
show steady falling off IN favor of
Canada. o ~

The Sixteenth Amenement.

Among the proceedings of the
House of Representatives of Con-
gressa published in the Globe, of the
9th inst, is the following:
Mr.. MORGAN-I move to suspend
the rules, in order to put the follow
ing preamble and joint resolution up
on its passage:
Whereas, political equality is the
true basis of republican government /;
and whereas, except the citizens of
foreign birth, all voters, citizens of the
United States, including indians who
are taxed, andn4groeswhether they pay
taxes or not, are eligible to the offices
of President and Vice President; and
whereas, citizenship results from the
chance of birth, or from choice, foun-
ded upon a correct appreciation of
free institutions, and desire to par
ticipate in their blessings; and where
as in peace and in war cur native
shown equal patriotism and skill as
statesmen and soldiers Therefore,
Be it resolced by the Senate and
House of Representatives Of the
United States an Congress assembled,
Qwo-thirds of each House concurring)
That upon the ratification by the Leg
islature of two-thirds of the States of
the following proposed article, the
same shall be declared part of the
Constitution
43gfl-s ARTICLE
SECTION l. Naturalized citizens are
hereby made eligible to the Office of
President and Vice President of the
United States.
The question was put upon suspend
ing the rules; and there were-ayes
80, nays 45.
+ Mr.. MORGAN-I call for the. yeas
and nays.
The yeas and nays were then or
dered. m
The question was taken ; and there
were-yeas 81, nays 65, not voting 90.
IL there was anything wanted to
demonstrate to our naturalized fellow
citizens that in the eyes of Radicals
they are not as good as negroes the
above cannot fall to satisfy them on
that point. Carl Schurz and the
white men of foreign birth must wait
q little longer before they can be per-
mitted to enjoy equal privileges with
the Radical pets, the negroes.

Strong has introduced bill in the

This would be practical repeal of

such q statute is in the direction of

THE FIVE PER CENT, LOAN AND THE
LONDON SYNDICATE.
The Ways and Means Committee
resumed to day the investigation into
the negotiation of the new i've per
cent. loan through the London Syndi-
Henry d. Cooke, members of the
firm of JAY Cooke & Company. The
members of the Committee refuse to
disclose the details, but it may be said
with entire safety. that the testimony
thus far taken does not remove the
charge that the Syndicate pOcketed
three months interest ON the new
bonds, and possibly had the use of the
percentage of the subscriptions paid
at the date of subscribing for the same
length of time. Add to this amount
the extraordinary commission which
the Syndicate received, and it will be
seen that the Government paid pret-
ty heavily for his agency in the con-
version of its own bonds. The Com
mittee will hear further evidence from
the Secretary before coming TO final
result for the action of the House.
CLAYTON LIKELY TO BE EXPELLED.
The Special Committee of the Sem
ate to investigate the charges made
against Senator Clayton of Arkansas,
have entered on their duties. and the
testimony promises to be very severe.
If it turns out as represented, it will
undoubtedly lead to the expulsion of
Clayton from the Senate. It is pro-
posed to prove among other things,
that, while Governor of Arkansas, he
altered the registration list and sup
piled illegal ballots in numerous Leg
islative districts of the State to secure
majority in the Legislature for his
election to the United States Senate.
The Republican State and Federal
officials, alleged to be cognizant of
these alleged facts, will be called on
to testify.
THE PROSPECT OF GRANT AND CoLFAx
- FOR RENoMINATIoN.
Republican Senators and members,
and members of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which has just end
ed its session, seem to very generally
agree that the Philadelphia Conyen-
tion will transact all its business in
one day by .renominating Grant and
Colfax, adopt a platform, and return
home. 1t is assumed that there will
not be as much division over the Vice
Presidency as there was at Chicago,
and that Mr.. Colfax will be renomi-
mated on the second ballot. Senator
Wilson and Speaker Blaine are the
only candidates now mentioned, and
they appear to have little or no
strength outside their own States
Nevertheless, it is confidently asserted
that Mr.. CoIfax is weak in the West,
and will be unable to secure the dele
CATION from his own State.
