accountability for its doctrines and senti-

expired, this will no longer be the case,

Congress meets, whether it be in March
or December next, the Democrats and
Conservatives will have a large majority,
and their action on all the leading issues

the President sanction it or not, will de-
eide whether they or not the Republicans
will hereafter be trusted with full power.
The financial question will doubtless
have adjusted itself by that time, so for

to it that no Democrat is sent to Wash

Congressman Lamar, of Mississippi, does
not want to be Speaker. He told the
editor of the Macon (Ga.) Telegraph ana
Messenger, recently, that it would be
extremely iniudicious on the part of the
majority to put forward a Southern man
for that position, that no such idea could
be seriously entertained, and his own con
victions Gifts impoicy were so strong
that he would consent, in no event, to be
a candidate, or even accept the position,
if rendered. He wished 1t distinctly I'M
derstood that the suggestion Of his name
tor that position was entirely without his
consent or sanction and unwelcome to
him, as afording some quasi support to
the industrious efforts to play upon the
iealousies and suspicious Of the people OF
the North. In his judgment the, South
ern Democrats had no design or desire to
assume the position of leaders, even , were
1t possible for them to occupy 1t. That
duty devolved properly on the other great
sections of the country, and tbs South
would be more than content TO follow
their lead IN every wise measure for the
restoration Of national prosperity and
harmony.

Federal EsenevOIerce

Mr. HITCHCOCK, of Nebraska, has al
ready introduced bill in Congress ap-
propriating one hundred thousand dol
lars for the purchase of food for the suc-
ferers from the ravages of the grasshop-

clothing to them. Such a measure
commends itself to the sympathies of the
kindly disposed. but, beyond the question
Of charity, it involves a principle that is

ment was certainly created for no such
purpose and that its Treasury has been
opened to such appeals only shows how
ready we are to drift from the old land
marks that indicated the channel of Fed
eral action. In moment of extreme
distress people are not likely to stop to
discuss principles of government, but
wheI such appeals come up for calm
deiberation there is no authority in pre-
cedents that were made under sudden
impulSf. The people of Chicago. the
people Of Boston, the sufferers by the
Southern floods, the communities which
have been afflicted with terrible grasshop-
PER-, and the sufferers by the recent
storms, all turned tor succor to the Fed
that they should turn Tor aid the quickest;
but it is by just such acts that the people
Of this country are welding the newly
claimed powers of the General Govern
ment, and beating down the distinction
that gives to the State governments the
control and responsibility of all such
matters relating to the welfare of their
citizens. This may look like pushing
theory too far in the face of a trying
emergency, but every step, however small,
| in this direction, brings the Federal pow
er nearer to the people and lessons the
dignity and supremacy of the State gov
ernments If the Federal Government
can relieve local communities from the
effects of storm and disasters, why can

principles under which We grew to
strength and prosperity. In the case OF
the sufferers by the grasshopper, there
is an indulgence which the Government
can legitimatcly extend to them. 1t is
embraced in the bill offered by Mr.. IN
CALLS, of Kansas, providing that home

There is nopart of the country in which
the effect Ofthe election has so immediate
" made itself felt as in the South. The
evident Discrimination of the Attorney
General to interfere in Louisiana now,
compared with his ferociOus attitude to-
ward this State IN time past, and the re-
tusal of the President to sec the necessity
of recognizing anybody in Arkansas, are
encouraging indications of the improve
ment of the relations between the South
ern Sites and the General Government.
These States, speaking generally, have
been rescued from tkeiE carpet-bag gov
ernme ITS, and though theirs are, and for
a long time will be likely to be, a horde
of needy adventures scattered through
the South, hungry to get possession OF
any part Of the government that any
number ofignOrRHt, and crcdulous voters
can be induced to put undeE tEeIr charge
there will be no longer a deSpotiSm at
Washington exercising its unlimited
powers to aaep these rascalS in power for
life. Whatever nlisio~tunes happen to
the South now, will happen through its
own fault; and we are glad to see that a
vigorous effort Is being made to effect
Just and reasonable composition between
the various States and their creditors, as
first sep to reform. The plan, as given
roughly 10y the newspapers, consists of a
general funding scheme entered into by
each State and its creditors, the latter
agreeing to take new bonds at less than
tie par value of the old bonds, and in re-
turn the State agrees to incorporate this
funded debt in its general scheme of tax
alton and government, IL such manner
that legislatures will hereafter have no
power over it. There is no doubt that
some such scheme rs this is not merely
advisable, but necessary. With this
done, with the carpetbag regime at an
end, with the production of cotton at the
same level as before tue war, it will only
need immigration to make the South far
more prosperous than it was before the
war.-Ihc Nation.

One Hundred Tennessee EGu-
kIuN Drop EReir Masks.
I Nashville Banner, Dec. .. ]

During the ten days ending Saturday
about one hundred kukluX came into Car
thage and gave themselves up to Judge Fite.
Before the cOnveG4nE Of court Judge Fife
was given to understand that all the men
in the khan desired to give themselves up,
that they could be assured of being light
ly dealt with. In his charge to the grand
jury Judge Eite TOOK occasion TO call the
a ten'ion ofthe jury to the fact that those
who had simply prowled in mask over the
country at night, and who had been gull
~ of 10 greater OffenSe would only be
subject to trial for misdemeanor under
the first section of what was known as
the kuklux act. which imposed a fine of
500 and Imprisonment at the discretion
of the jury. The members of the Khan
soon after began to pour into Carthage
and to submit their cases. They were re-
quired to take an oath that they would
never after 90 IN mask, nor in any man
ner to connect themselves with any Or
ganization of the nature of Kuklux, and
they did so, beside giving bond to keep
the peace for one year.
On petition signed by the judge and
Jury, Gov. Brown RENTED the fines and
p4rdoned the misdemeanors.

The white people of several parishes III
Louisiana have resolved to employ no
person, white or black, who votes with
the Kclloggites. That is childish and
foolish, and will accomplish no good.
Let them act manly and patiently, under
all their troubles, aud in due time they
will be relieved. The people OF the
North have their eyes on Southern affairs,
and will right matters in the proper way

Special to the Chicago Times.

In reference to the case of Arkansas,
It may be said that tie majority Of the
Poland committee are satisfied that
Brooks was legally elected Governor in
1872. The committee, however, have not
yet reached a conclusion as TO the legal
ty of the constitution under which Gov.
Garland claims the executive power, al
though they do not deny that it was
adopted by a majority of the people. 1t
is certain, however, in any event, that
Smiths claims to the Gubernatorial Office
will be ignored.

The Presidents message will be found
on our first page, accompanied by a sy,
nopsis OF the report of the Secretary OF
the Treasury. The paragraph in the
message referring to the soldiers OF the
war of 1912 IS sensible and just, and
coming from Grant, is quite as surprising
as it is generous. He would do very
we'll if he would act halt as well as ne

Our Representative, Hon. W. c. Whit
thorue, has introduced in Congress a bill
directing the lrecdmcu's Savings and
Trust Company 10 institute suit against the
Trustees OF said company, with view OF
holding them personally liable for the
deposits. The bin refers to the act OF
the "a Of March, 1850, Incorporating the
company, and the scvcra. powers and
duties conferred upon the Trustees, the
efforts made by them successfully TO
obtain larger powers, how two millions OF
dollars were collected from the freedmen,
and authority for new modes of invest
mcut procured from Congress without
consulting the depg-itOrS, and the suffer
ing occasioucd among the latter 10y
reason of the failure to make dividends.
The bin then goes on to enact that the
Commissioners directed to wind up the
affairs of the bauk shall make dividends
as ofton as they collect five per cent,
and employ counsel 20 bring SUIT on be
half OF the deposjt0vs against any OF the
trustees or officers OF the bank who may
be found to have violated their trusts,
with a view TO holding them personally
liable TO the dcp1sitors tor the full
amount of their deposits. Among the
the trustees named are Peter Cooper, w.
