are far less in numbers than the democrat
lied whites, the recent Confederate OIL
GERS and soldiers, the men who have no
organized industry or established business,
who are enraged because the colored men
by their labor earn money and thrift, have
the same right of going to the ballot-box
the former possess, and wish their chill
dren to attend school instead of being
kicked about by white children as in form
err times. In no other country, nor in any
age of the world, has people in such
moral and social condition. SO sparsely
scattered over a vast extent Of territory,
been able to get along without violence
and anarchy, unless favored by the strong
hand of Central Authority to assist in ex-
ecutng the laws to protect the weak
against the more powerful, to preserve
those rights and interests without which
government is farce and civilization
lie. If the Republican party, if the loyal
men of the country, if those to whom the
Nation has intrusted its authority, aban-
don that vast and splendid domain of a
half million square miles to lawlessness.
anarchy and murder, if the sacred objects
and guarantees of Republican government,
are allowed to be scoffed at and trampled
in the filthy mud of the Secession and
White League democracy, because OF
squeamish twaddle about State Rights,
then will the martyrs and heroes of the
war of the Union have died in vain and
the Republic confess its weakness and its
shame before the world.

THE PARLLAXENTAR Affair.

The New York Evening Post reviews IN an cd
,orial the late parliamentary struggle in the House
from which VIC copy the following, in which
Speaker Blaine receives merited credit.
The defeat of the democrats was only less disas-
trous than Buffers. In its worst aspects 1t was
self-inlicted. There was no dscredit in getting
outvoted by the majority, but there was good
deal in such an exhibition Of weakness and defect
i've discipline the minority made yesterday.
The democratic leaders committed the blunder OF
quarrelling with the Speaker. That was rs absurd
as it would be for the counsel in q law case to
quarrel with the presiding judge OF the court. 1t
would have been imprudent even on good quar-
relsome grounds, but the democrats had really no
cause Of quarrel. Throughout the struggle Of last
week Speaker Blaine protected the minority in its
parliamentary rights. He did So it is said, some
times in spite of what is called "pressure." His
impartial enforcement of the rules enabled the
democrats to keep the republicans out Of bed for
two nights and to prevent the passage Of the Civil
Rights bill pursuant to the majority programme.
1t enabled them to compel the reading of the
journal of the House on Saturday, to prevent the
giving of the required notice of amendment of the
rules and thus to postpone the change. Nothing
more than ordinary intelligence is needed to ap-
prehend the great advantage to the minority OF
securing just consideration by the Speaker. 1t
might be supposed that nobody possessed OF COM
mon sense would incur the risk of driving the
Speaker from his position ofimpartiality. Yet the
leader OF the democrats Mr.. Randall, lost his TEN
per and did that very thing yesterday, by impugn-
ing the honesty and fairness OF the Speaker. The
first quality which fits man tor the control
of other men is the power Of controlling himself
The first quality Mr.. Randall does not possess, OF
he would not have picked quarrel with the
Speaker-a quarrel in which he was pretty sure 10
be worsted, even if he had boon right, but In
which he was really wrong. II soon became evil
dent that Mr.. Blsines svmpathies were not with
Butler, and while Randall charged him with hav.
ing as Speaker, favored Butler, he went on to the
floor and contributed largely to Buffers defeat
Mr.. Cox, is q clever man. but it was palmer than
ever yesterday that he was unfit for leadership
He said some funny things, but nothing half SC
ridiculous as when be joined Mr.. Randall in q
mock heroic resignation from the Committee on
Rules The democratic minority Of the present
House of Representatives is singnlarly deficient
IN competent leaders. 1.-THE majority Of the next
House shall be Is badly OF the Republicans need
wish for nothing better than that the democrats
shall assume their responsibilities ct the earliest
possible day.

rarely participates in its debates, and Mr.. Blaine
has not departed from the custom. He took the
floor to some purpose yesterday, and won marked
victory over both the democrats and the worst
element of his own party. When he in turn takes
his place with the opposition and assumes, what
is undoubtedly. reserved for him. the leadership Of
the republicans in the next House. the democrats
will be at great disadvantage if they do not con-
front him with somebody more competent than
any they have vet put forward.

ATTEMPTED ROBBERY.

SUCCESSFUL RESISTANCE BY THE TRAIN
MEN.
Special to the Star.
INDIANAPOLIS, July 9.--Robbers last
night cut loose the engine OF the express
train on the Vandalia road, near Pontiac @,
ILL.,, and attempted to rob the Adams Ex-
press car. The train men resisted, and
the engineer was killed by the assail-
lants.
Burke, the express agent, kept his car
closed and succeeded in keeping every :
thing secure until help arrived, and the
robbers secured no booty of any kind.
The officers of the road have offered a
Reward of 81, 900 for the arrest of the rob-
lbers, and three men have been already
captured, though nothing positive has
yet been developed to show their con-
Inc ction with the robbery.
Conductor Froley thinks there were
Iat least dozen men in the assailing par
Ity. Several of the implements used by
sthe men in detaching the engine have
been found and it is thought may lead to
the capture Of those implicated.
Officers were sent to the scene of the
excitement this morning and every ef-
fort will be made to capture others of
the party, and 1t is believed that they
Will be successful.

turned and deeply blushed, as If she

and went TO work upon plate of chick

she grew, it was my duty sad to note,
until, with such dispatch she ate, d
chicken-bone stuck in her throat. How.

Petition for Relief

THE Police Court officials have lately
adopted the very inconveniept and un-
called for rule of placing all Of their con.
tinued cases of the docket on two days
of the week. This proceeding crowds
the Court on the twodays selected, keep.
ing every body having usiness with
that Court waiting for hours, when it
could, as well as not, be,avoided by dis
tributing the cases to each day in the
week, as was the custom previous to the
advent of the present officials.
The OBJECT OF thus mountaineering po-
lice officers, witnesses, attorneys, sc !,
is to enable the gentlemen connected
with that court to attend to their private
law practice. We object to their doing
so at the expense of the public. More
over, the night policemen are required
to remain in the court till two or three
o'clock, without any chance of getting
any sleep during the day. Thomas o.,
Campbell, Esq, made a formal. comp
OF this Inconvenience and Injustice in
the Police Court Room this morning.
This manner of carrying on the business
OF the docket should be changed.

Mrs. Sidney NJ. Quill, a colored woman
about fifty-one years of age, residing at
No. 70 East Seventh street, near Broad
way, fell down a whole flight of stairs
yesterday evening about 7 O'Clock, from
the effects OF which she died almost In.
stantly.
The deceased.was born in this city
and was generally occupied as wash
erwoman. For the past six months she
had been suffering with acute rheu-
matism and heart disease. which proba-
bly, superinduced her instantaneous
demise.
Coroner Maley was notified and held
an inquest, when the above facts were
elected. The jury returned verdict
that the deceased came to her death
from a nervous shock caused by q fall.
