As every one knows the Democrat
ic politicians have loudly and per-
sistently proclaimed against the sal
ary-grab," styling the parties en- en-
gagged in it s'thieyes," ETC. The hills
and valleys of old Gallia have echoed
with these charges, until some parties
were Induced to believe that the ora
tors making them were too virtuous
to touch a 'tsalary-grabber' with a
ten-foot pole. That was their pro-
fession. Now for the practice. 1t is
nothing less than the election to the
position of Clerk in the lower House
of Congress of man who partook OF
the "back-pay steal" Adams, whom
the Democrats by an unanimous vote
honored with this position, was 8
member of the Forty second Con
gress, and 'sstood the raise" Aftel
this display of treachery, don't yor
think it is about time our Demo
cratic leaders should enter theil
holes and draw the end in afte

GEN. Tow. EWING, saysthe Wash
ington correspondent of the Cincin-
natl Commercial, in view of the cleo
ton of KERR for Speaker, takes q
most gloomy view of the future Of
the rag baby. Taking a look into
that future, he says that the result in
dicates the purpose of the 'monied
interest" to nominate either Tilden or
Bayard for President, compelling the
West to be content with sop in the
way of Speaker, Sergeant-at-Arms
and Clerk. OF course Tammany
and Wall street will run the Demo
cratic machine, and the democrats Of
Ohio made silly mistake in suppos-
ing that they were powerful enough
to prevent it. They are smart fel
lows, but Tammany carries the long

Ex-senator HENDERSON, of Mis-
souri,, has been engaged in assisting
the District Attorney in the prose
cution of the St Louis whisky
frauds. Having a democratic heart,
he assailed the President in an un-
warranted manner, intimating that
he had interfered in the prosecu-
tions, charge without the shadaw
of foundation. The President could
not do otherwise than what he did,
dismiss the partisan, with orders to
the District Attorney to supply his
place with the most able and efficient
counsel that can be found, without
regard to politics." All that can be
said against Gen. Grant, in connec-
tlon with these frauds, is that he was
unfortunate in the selection of GOV.
ernment agents; he was imposed
upon. AS soon as ne learned of
their crooked transactions, his in
junction was: "Let no guilty one es-
cape"

1. What is meant by the term
civilization, or in other words, why

2. Why does China stand still in
her civilization?
Upon what does the advance of

3. Why is England so particular

Congressional Notes.

L. II. Fitzhue, elected Doorkeepei
of the House, was Sergeant-at-arms
of the Confederate Congress. He
has experience, you see, over demo
cratic bodies.
The Chaplain Of the House is an
Episcopal rector, who was unable in
the war days to minister to a church
in Connecticut because he then re-
fused to remember the President OF
the United States in his public
prayers as his rubic and his Bishop
commanded. The Postmaster was O
Captain in Joe Stewards Confederate
cavalry. A few years have wrought
great changes.
The scenes in and about the ho-
tells the night before the democratic
caucus are thus pictured by the cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Ga
zette:
These in the midst of thick tobacco
fume, and odors of whisky, and floor
and walls bespattered with tobacco, talk
ed and argued, persuaded, begged, and
threatened. hour after hour. There
were legless and armless men in con-
siderable numbers scattered about, who
no doubt fought bravely, but not for the
Union.
THE "soUTHERN GENTLEMAN, sIR,"
was to be seen and heard on all sides.
He evidently felt that he had at last
achieved victory and taken Washing
ton. Said Confederate Major, a MEM
ber-elect, "All Virginia appears to have
invaded the Capital. There are 5000
from the first families here. 1t is the
first time an organized Confederate force
ever entered Washington.
The N. Y. Herald says the cleo
ton of Kerr for Speaker is a Tam
many victory. Others think Wall
street victory. 1t is simply Demo
cratic victory, and that means one or
both, or neither, just as you please.
The selection of "keeper of the
restaurant of the House of Repre-
sentatives" was not so much of a
disturbing element as the election of
Speaker, still, it was an important
matter to that democratic body. A
liquor-seller of the city applied, and
coming with recommendation from
Senator Thurman and other great
lights, in these words-"we cheerful
ly recommend his appointment be-
lieving that from his long experience
as caterer, he would discharge the
duties with great satisfaction he
secured the privilege of furnishing
the inner man.
