CONFEDERATE PROSPECTS,

The debates in the national House of
Representa- ives of Tuesday are instructive
as showing the hopes Of Confederate office
seekers, and the backing they received
from those who fought to destroy the gov
ernment they now expect to feed upon.
Congressman Fort, of Illinois, "plucking
the grass to know where sits the wind"
offered resolution to the effect 'that in
all subordinate appointments under any
of the officers of this House, it is the
Judgment of the House that wounded
Union soldiers who are not disa-
bled from the performance Of duty
should be preferred" The temerity
of Mr.. Fort was promptly rebuked.
The resolution brought to their feet
all of the Confederate brigadier gen.
erals, and it was voted down by lO4 Dem
ocrats against ninety-seven Republicans.
Mr.. Cox, of New York, endeavored to
soften this blunt expression of Confederate
feelings by offering an amendment or sub
stitute, or whatever else might be re-
quired, in which he used the remarkable
language, that, "Inasmuch as the union
of the States has been restored, all the
citizens thereof are entitled to considera-
ton in the appointment to offices under
this government. ''Restored" is good
word. Samuel Sullivan Cox, who repre-
sented an Ohio district in the Thirty-eighth
Congress, and taking his carpet bag in
hand went to New York and got elected to
the Fort y-6rst Congress from that State,
admits that his Democr attic friends did
succeed in disorganizing the Union;
hence the expression 'shas been restored. "
Coz, of Ohio, and Cox, of New York, may
yet come to Mississippi and claim an
election. He would do well there, now
that the State has been conquered, and is
barricaded by his party. ''Considera-
ton" is also safe word. It allows the
New Orleans Republican., 1875-12-16

We consider it neighborly and kind in
the Picayune to be perfectly unbiased"
in the controversy between the REPUB-
LICAS and the State Auditor. From the
haste with which it rushed to announce in
big head lines show it is interpreted, >" and
then published Mr.. Clinton's views alone
on the subject, we feared the oily Christian
gentleman referred to had captured
"rebel skunk" and impressed it into his
service. The prompt denial of bias re-
ieves US from our apprehensions, and
restores the entente cordiale so far as we are
concerned. We are fully competent to
deal with MIR. Clinton in everything relat-
ing to our private affairs. The opinions of
that gentleman on questions of law are
matter of positive Indifference But when
the Picayune goes to him for his opinion
about the decision of the Supreme Court,
and tries to make the people believe that
is the way it is interpreted by men of
sense. We are bound to correct that
journals blunder. 1t is true our modern
Podsnap expresses its opinion that the
court will grant rehearing; but that it
has a perfect right to do, since legal
opinion from that source does not have
much weight. We only object when it
attempts to include others in this lumin-
GUS opinion OF itself and Clinton by pro
claiming chow it is interpreted.

anxiety the appearance of Democratic
