THE WICKED WORLD

We do not mean the attractive dramatic
allegory now being performed at the Va
rieties Theatre, but the newspaper known
as the New York H'orld. The former or
gan of Tweed has the following:
The great Democratic victories id New
York, Ohio. MARYLAND and Virginia, the
startling Republican defeats in Wisconsin,
iowa, Kansas and Illinois, foreshadow the
election or Democratic Congress in 1874,
and the election Of Democratic President
in 1876.
The secret of the triumph already won has
been steadtast adherence to the organiza-
ton, unfinching fidelity to the principles.
Of the Democratic party.
1t is very wicked in the H0riI TO pur-
loin the victories of Republican reform
and attribute them to the Democratic
parry. 1t is even more wicked to violate
the commandment which forbids bearing
false witness, and that also which de-
nounces the coveting anything that be-
longs to his neighbor. Now this wicked
No d deliberately claims all the elections
resulting in the defeat of Republican
nomination as triumph Of unfinching
adherence to the Democratic organization.
We should like to see it explained how,
when the Democratic head sachen.

KEEPING UP THE DELUsION.

The McEnery Legislature shows
such strong symptoms Of falling to pieces
that the scouts and out-liers find it neces-
sary to resort to every e1pedient to keep
up the sinking spirits Of the faithful few
who rally at No. s. Carondelet street.
Some SIX or seven members of the lower
branch have already brushed the Fusion
dust from their sandals and found their
way to their proper scene Of duty. They
Will not return. The same party counts
up fourteen Senators, including two who
show signs of boiling. There is no doubt
that the McEnery Legislature is the cor
rect representative, in point OF numbers,
OF the Fusion party in the State. as the
State Legislature is Of the Republican
party. 1t will thus be seen that our op-
ponents are weak and shaky. They feel
this to be so. and accordingly renew their
exertions to breathe little animation in
the fast sinking concern. On Wednesday
some employe in Washington sent the
following little wad to this city to be
thrown on the expiring embers, in the
hope of producing at leas: transitory
flicker of light:
Second dispatch-The general belief in
w ashington is that a new election will be
Oh dered.
This dispatch is cousin german to the
one sent on about year ago stating the
sentiment existing in high Fusion cir
cles." There being no longer even so
much as q ''circle' at the metropolis to
opinions, the whole city of
Washi pgton is pressed into service as a
substitute.

perpetrated through the power Of Democ-
racy, and when his Democratic associates,
Genet, Connolly and some twenty or
thirty other Democratic Office holders
have been convicted of the most fragrant
violations OF trust, the people of New
York have renewed their covenant with
Democracy. If these State trials continue,
what with imprisonment for felony and
flight to escape it, the Democratic vote of
New York will be SO much reduced that it
Will make no show at all at the election of
1876, nor at any ether period. Wicked,

THE RESOLUTION INDORsING SENATOR
PINCHBACK,

l
The almost unanimous vote by which
our General Assembly has just reafirmed
its Endorsement of Senator Pinchback
may be considered by Congress as an in.
dicat. on of the sentiments of the domi
nant party in this State upon the subject.
1t proclaims, in the most authoritative
form known to our institutions, that oul
choice for United States Senator last
winter is our choice now That in case
OF his rejection by the Senate, on account
OF any supposed informally, he would be
instantly rechosen. The representatives
OF the people have committed them
selves In the most emphatic manner.
This has been done, too, in COM
pliance with a universal and expressed
desire of the Republican party through
| out the State. There has scarcely
| been a meeting of the clubs in any
OF the parishes during the past six or seven
months without the adoption of a resolu-
ton indorsing Senator Pinchback and
urging the Senate to admit him without
delay. The Senate therefore has, during
the first month of this session, turned deaf
ear to the simple request of the State.
1t is request, too, that has been made in
pursuance of constitutional rule, in
compliance with an irrepeelable, irrevok-
able provision of the organic law-ho
State shall be deprived, without its con-
sent, Of equal representation in the Senate
1t is certainly a violation of the spirit if
not the letter, of this section to hesitate
an hour beyond the time actually neces-
sary to an understanding Of the case,
to keep Senator knocking at the door.
For if they may refuse him admission at
one time, they may at any other. If they
may keep him out for day, they may for
a year, and may finally inform the outly-
ing province of Louisiana that no Senator
from the State will be admitted at all. It
is stretching the rule too far to assert that
Congress may take whole year TO find
out whether member has proper credep-
tials If his election be correct he has a
right to enter, and he has an undoubted
right to immediate attention.
The recent action of the Legislature is
proof that this State is impatient at the
long and unreasonable delay that has oc.
Cured in considering question that could |
have been determined in week. 1t is a !
reatiirmance of confidence in Senator |
Pinchback. reiteration of the previously |!
expressed desire that he should represent
US in the upper branch of Congress, and 3
protest against the uncivil treatment of
the Senate
We hope there will be an end put to this
matter without further delay. We demand
full representation in the Senate and, as G.
part of the United States, ask
our law makers in Washington TO dispose

really case, and proceed to the conside.
