The Drift.

For many years the Democratic party has
claimed for itself the major portion of the
honesty and administrative ability of the
country, and its leaders have promised great
reforms as soon as they had the power 10
accomplish them. In moment of impa.
tience the people gave the opportunity. The
men of honesty and administrative ability
have been at Washington fortnight now.
What have they done? What reforms have
been proposed? What abuses have been
remedied? Eight Democrats have intro
duced bills to repudiate the pledge to resume
specie payments in 1879. One Democrat has
introduced bill to collect the custom duties
in paper, thus paving the way for the repu-
diation of the gold interest on government
bonds, and eventually of the bonds them
selves. One Democrat has introduced bill
to increase the pension list by adding to il
the names of those stricken off for disloyalty.
One Democrat has introduced bill to repeal
the law forbidding the payments of Southern
claims for quartermasters' stores, and to ap-
proprate $500,0O0 for these claims. One
Democrat has introduced bill 10 pay for
land sold for direct taxes in the seeding
states. One Democrat has introduced reso-
luton setting forth that rebels are entitled to
as much consideration in government ap-
pointments as are loyal soldiers. One Demo-
crat has introduced bill reviving the odious
frauding privilege. One Democrat has intro.
duced bill making ex-Presidents senators
for life.
The party of reform and administrative
ability made bad start. A chaplain was
chosen because of his rebel sympathies during
the war. A door-keeper was chosen whose
recommendation was that he had DISCHARGED
similar duties in the Confederate Congress.
A clerk was chosen because he was salary
grabber. The first day of the session was
devoted to an attempt to reopen tie vexed
Louisiana question, once settled 10y solemn
compromise. Finally the party chose COM
mittee of eleven men to shapeits policy, and
to supervise all motions and speeches made
in Congress-and the head and controlling
spirit of the committee is an ex-Confederate
general from Mississippi.
Sueh is the start made by the Democracy
an9their progress so far. 1t can be easily
sen what is TO be expected by the people
from party which seems bent on destroying
the national credit and giving over the gov
ernment into the hands of rebels.

THE town clerk of West Watcrville return
ed the votes for Nathaniel Meader, the Re-
publican candidate for Representative for N.
Meader, while those of Waterville were re-
turned according to the ballot for the full
name. By the recent decision of the Judges
of the Supreme Court these votes are counted
for two persons, thereby giving the seat to
Mr.. Haviland, the Democratic candidate.
Wouldn't il be we'll to attach penalty to
such ineXcusable carelessness?

IT is very disagreeable thing to belong to
a party whose majority in Congress from its
make up and past affiliations is compelled to
put itself on record against recognition of the
pre-eminent claims of wounded Union soldiers
Tor official position and makes its votes tally
with its action by electing officers ofthe House
who have removed one-armed Union soldiers
to make room for able-boded gentlemen from
Texas who find the iron clad oath little too
thorough swarming. The Republican party
should not forget that by sympathy and
pledge, it is bound to recognize the claims of
the wounded Union soldiers as the best of
credentials.

The intelligent contraban6 " has disap-
peared from life and gone into history, bnt his
place has been taken by the "erninent mer-
chant' ard the prominent banker" These
trustworthy gentlemen have been interviewed
by the Argus in regard to resumption of
specie payments. One, the 'eminent mer-
chant,' says that it would make perfect
chaos in commercial circles for the two years
following the repeal of the legal tender act.
The other, the prominent" and profane
-"banker," says "it would raise--with ev.
cry interest. 1.-THE argus is greatly comforted
by these predictions.

The Acena National. the French govern
ment organ, says that strong pressure has
been brought to bear upon the Versailles
cabinet to take measures in conjunction with
this country to pacify Cuba, and that Eng
land is anxious to join in the effort. 1t is
thought that President Grant referred to
these Governments when he limited in his
message that if he took any action at all in
the matter it would be Jointly with other

THE vote of Wednesday on the Holman
resolution against railroad and other subsi-

THE New York papers apparently cherish
the conviction that Tweed will soon return,
and lead their gossip regarding him with
lines like these: "Still Absent" "Unaccount-
able Delay" 1t is generally thought that
the BOSS is lying hid in or near New York,
and that he is hoping to make settlement
so that he may return. The Rochester DEM
ocrat refuses to take this view, characteristics
ally suggests that Tweed has fallen into ther
river, and insists that it shall be searched be-
fore he has chance to be bailed out.

Immediately started OF and attempted
