And 1t is not presuming too far, to in

put themselves in direct communica-

their Daodus pyramid and the means
by which the Oranges, individually
and collectively, can be brought into
active cooperation with them. This
has. no doubt, been done IN many To-
calities, but the apathy which seems
to peryade the Order in this vicinity
makes us doubt whether any zeal is
felt for the original objects OF their
organization, much less Tor the great

HE question is often asked-what
can Inc lower House OF congress do,
with It's democratic majority! LIZ can
perfect no legislation, the Executive
and Senate being opposed to any Dem
oeratlc measure. Still 1t can do work
of vital importance TO the whole coun-
try, and achieve for itself an enduring
fame, by giving shape to the future of
the government. 1t can repeal, so far
as the lower House is concerned, the
iniQuitous redemption law, and throw
upon the Executive and Senate the
sole responsibility of the widespread
bankruptcy which must follow the en-
forcement OF that law. This, of itself,
will do much towards giving Democra-
cy the vantage ground in the Presiden-
tlal canvass of next summer. But it
can investigate the villainies of Radi-
cal rule, unearth the hitherto hidden
mysteries of the rings and monopolies
