The Democracy on Legal Tenders.

Possession is nine points of the law. says
the old apothegm and therefore it is that
a political party which is strongly intrench-
ed in power can ofttimes permit divisions
among its members on even Important
questions with seriously hazarding Its
main position and it can do this with per-
feet IMMUNITY provided its opponents are
widely divided on the same questions.
But this rule does not hold good in re-
gard to an Opposition which is trying to
dislodge a party in power On leading
questions it must have fixed policy to
which all its members shall adhere This
| is especially true in regard to national Is
majority of the people.
Now, apply these plain propositions tc
the votes of the Democrats in the House
on Monday in regard to the imitation o
| the currency. 1t is not only subject o
great Importance at the present time, bu
it involves all the old-fashioned Democrat
ic doctrines concerning paper money ant
specie payments. Where stood the De
mocracy on this vital matter? There ar
80 Democrats in the House. On the ties
question that no more legal tenders sha
be issued, % Democrats voted aye, AS VIC
ted no, and 20 lodged the vote On tn
, final passage of the bill which provided fo
the issuing of $44,00O.00U more of greer
backs, Al Democrats voted aye, % vote
no, and "a lodged the vote.
Do not these figures show that on one
the main questions before the country ii
+ Democratic party has no policy at all
i And is this not equally true Of specie pa,
i ments, protective tariff, and even Il
transcendently important subject Of CO
It ruption in Office?
!. If the Democratic party under its pre-
' ent management is of any use whatev
except to keep the Republican party
s. power, will Its leaders state what that u

A Surplus OF 7d;e Capital.

California stin continues 10 be not
only the land of promise but Of perform
ance. Once esteemed only for its gold,
it is now enriched by its agriculture with
a suddenness and abundance that have
no parallel in any other section Of the
country. While the commerce Of San
Francisco has been Respondent, the ru-
raj regions have kloomed like garden
Every body, says the San Francisco Bull
letia, has capital to lend. And the bank
on California street is to raise its capital
to S., ,0O0." and money lending over
tops all other business. Private citizens
open offices to dispose Of their own CAPT
tai, and 'laboring men and servant girls
ioin the army of lenders. The city's saw
ings banks, which used to refuse to lend
on city property, are now receiving re-
mittances for investment from the saw,
ings banks which hare been established
in the country itself. In fact, the sur
plus of idle ca apital is greater than that
in ST. Louis or Chicago, which have dou-
BE the population of San Francisco,
and the demand is urgent for inanufac-
tures, commercial Investments, or some
thing to doo 5'|4 '5IAa1SN 1890

Where the Radicals haze PosCe,'
there Is TUr0nny.

The native white people of South
Carolina having failed to revolutionize
the political condition of their State,
in consequence of the unwillingness of
the mass of the negro voters to aban-
don their afliliation with the carpet
bag thieves ring, are beginning to feel
the vengeance of the victors. Amin,
stance of the persecution to which
they are subjected is related in late
South Corolina papers. The Rev. 3.
T. Walker, the rector of Trinity Epis-
copal Church at Edgef1eld Court
House, a venerable =. and respected
clergyman Of over forty years service
In the pulpit, has been seized by Fed.
eral officers and dragged to Columbia,
the capital of the State son q trunlped-
up charge of violating the Enforce
ment act. The charge Is based on the
affidavit OF a negro named Robert
Young land signed with his cross
mark), who swears that this minister
of the Gospel, all of whose years have
been given to pious living and unob-
strusive work of charity, said to the de-.
ponent previous to the late election /:
IF you don't vote my ticket will see
you in hell and damnation before you
shall stay on my plantation an hour"
The accusation is corroborated by the
oath Of another negro, named Jack
Mobley. On the other hand the affida-
Wits Of large number of the most
respectable people of Edgefield county,
Including General Dunnovant, Mr..
Bennett Holland, Mr.. G. L. Penn and
Mr.. B.. G. Bryan, are produced to
prove that Young and Mobley are
two worthless negroes, whose bad
character is notorious, and, further
more, that, the rector has never inter.
ested himself in politics, and that
Young and his family are still living,
without paying rent, on the pianta'
tion. But upon, such evidences as the
two negroes have presented this gray
headed gentleman is taken from hif
home and family and the care of his
parish, and thrown into distant pri
son. IT seems incredible that such at
occurrence should happen in this coun
try In the latter have of the nineteenth
century Recorded in the annals Q.
the reign of Jeffreys it would call til,
blush of indignation to the check q
the reader. But what are you goint
to do about it 2 There has been grea
