Is exploded, a new one is concocted
and we may as Well make up our mind
! TO their continuance until after the

even the succPptable heart of the
Northern public would grow tired If the
old, Cd story. The return of ex Pres
ident Davis to the Senate of Missis-
sippi could only answer as the ''won-
der of an hour, In view OF the fact that
he IS not resident of that State; |
was not eligible to any office, and |
wou,d not accept the position if ten

Yet something surrey could be devel-
op, d from the very strong Democratic |

played to the gaping and eager crowd.

a BIG SCARE IN THE DEMOCRATIC CAMP.
WAsHIHGTON, Nov. 15.-Considera-
BE feeling has b en- aroused among
Democratic politicians by a rumOr
that has gnined credence that the ex-
Cont Ifederates elected to the next House
have organized with a view to assnm-
ing control Of the organization. The
movement is said to have originated in
Texas, ard the programme seems to be
to eject a Northern man speaker, and
give The ether offices, Such as clerk, !
sergeant at arms, and doOr.keeper, to
Southern men. Alarm is OCcA>iCned !
bv the fear that tie ex Contederates |
v !, attempt to control "ffairs exc u
siveiy.
Tie y Washington correspondent of
that wholly INSCRIPTIONS Radical
sheet. The Cincinnati Times, refers to
the story as follows:
Some Of the Northern Democratic !
Congressman ray privately that the !
Southern Democrats are so bold il |
their deDeads for the best positions ID |
the next House that trouble in their |
own D hSical hOu' ehO.d IS sure to en- |
sue when Congress meets. The South |
ern Democratic Congressman assert |
that they Gre in a majority, and will |
control the Democ, attic c.ucus and |
nominate their own candidates. There |
Is nice prospect ahead.
Now when we coDcade to the North |
ern Democrats the speakership, and
the only prominent ''S0uthern" name
mentioned in connection with it was a
FederaI officer during the war, and
two of the foremost ''SOuthernf can
d1dates for clerkship were also Federal
officers, these rumors are more than
Idle. They betray wanton desire to
defame US, and rekindle the prejnd.ccs
of the Northern people against US
The paltry positions within the gift OF
Congress are worthless indeed in COM
parison with the injury already done
t. our people. and by this means sought
to be continued. Aud when is there
