FERNANDO WOODS PARTY.

The support Of Fernando Wood by tho majori-
ty OF the Democrats i'll Congress as l4eir cas.di-
datc for Speaker, has douo moro to destroy the
faitl1 Of those who htill c}ung TO tue Democratic
party than any othor ovont that las happoucd
dnsing all tho years of party decay. uud Fer
nanlo Wood been tic Democratic candidate un-
der ordinary circumstances. it would haro boon
minds Of tho pooplo with tic most evil doinys Of
tho old Tammnny Democracy. Whether 40
Mayor of New York City, or representative in
Congress- Of tho Tamsnany Ring, lo has
alwnys Ind bad emnenco. But, in
addition to all this, Fernando Wood was made
the caucus candidate because he was tho cliof
salary- -grabtor among tho Democrats. 4 rcao-
luton introduced into tho CAUCUS condomuiug
tile sa!ary.gtn5 was voted down, and Mr. Wood
WIS thoroupon chosen as tho Democratic loador
was daring dofanco Of those w4o hayo re-
mained by the party 10 tho worry last. It added
insult to injury. 1t will never bo Forgiven.
Tho indignation Of tue people finds expression
on all sides. Tho moat contdlng fuitlful, aud
hara-headcd DEMOCRATS have now abandoned
taeir traditions mud surrendered thoir hopes.
Wo fiud evidence Of this not only in individual
denunciation Of the action, but in the
rapuaiation Of tho party by Wostern jour-
nails that have heretofore boon uuoom-
promisingly Democratic in their politics. Tho
Havana (1u.) Democratic Clarion reminds lie
readers Of it's long and constant attachment to
tue party, and recounss its fidelity duling all tho
suspicious, and trials, aud defoats Of the past
twelyc yeals. But it can hold out no longer.
The support Of Fernando Wood as the Demo-
cratic leader Of tho House Las at lust opened
its eyes to tho truth. 1t recognizes now tint
tile Democratic party, according to its power
mud opportunity, In as gailty as the Republican
party, and It cals upon all friunds OF reform ITO
organize tnder n.1o ,,a,ne tla. the tide OF cor
ruptiou may bo stayed, aul lho country restored
to political purity and honcsty ia official sta-
tionB." Thu Ottumwa Qowa) Democrat, which
has heretofore boen loyal to tho old party,
says tint honeas mon can no longer sustain
tho organization, aud adds: "Thcro will
10 new party formed which will layo for it's
platform all Tho better plauhs In tho Democratic
c1ced Tho Fort Dodge Iowa) Times, COM
monsing on the action, charges plainly TINT tho
Domoc' ats "sold their birthnght for mcas Of
pottage from the majority party in Congress,
aud betrayed the rauk and hlo Of tter party"
And 50 on. Tho impression sccms to he TINT
there Is nothing left for Fernando Wood and lis
associates to do but join tho Republican party,
and the appointment Of lr. Wood to tho WayH
and Means Committee aoems to Indicate tint tho
Republican party is nothing 10th.

The argument in the Credit Mober case was
resumed yesterday morning by Mr.. Perry, for the

firmly placed his declaration Of the unconstltu-

alluded TO the enormity OF the crime, aud
the dinlculty Of punlshIng the wroDging parties

At the session OF the Ola Catholic Congress
yesterday Dr. Wock, OF Augsburg, made bitter
attack on the French, accusing them Of provoking
the late war and holding them responsible for all
Its horrors.
The speech caused painful sensation.
Pere Hyacinthe and other French delegates were
deeply offended and withdrew from the Congress.
