in Congress arc beginning to show their
hnndB md to do the dirty work Of the South
efnors with the same nlacrity and relish as
before tho Rebellion. Indeed, they seem to
have ontorod upon the doughface aud dirt
eating business with oven more engerness
than in the days Of siavery, when tho whips
OF The chivalry kept cracking about their enrs
SO industriously. They seom to havo given
themselves over to the Confoderatos, bodies,
souls. and breeches. They have bad their
noses held to tho griuastone by them until
they have consented to let King LAMAR die
tate the business Of the House, enunciate
their policy upon MI questions, md tell them
how to vote. They have thrown wido open
the doors Of The House, lave collected togeth-
er tho ono~armed aud one-]egged Veterans who
were given the minor Offices AZ reward for
their services to tho Union, aud Kicked them
out into tho street at the bidding Of the Con-
federatos. The places OF tho manned soldiers
have been studiously filed with ex-Rebels.
To crafty Confederate spleen md venom,
these Northern doughfacea have penetrated
every nook md Granny Of the House, mud
swept it Glenn Of every crippled Union vet
eran. They even went nosing about in the
Indies rooms, and at last found IN old
colorod woula, who had been waitress for
years, aud whom they also kicked out into
tho street to make room for an ex-Confedcr-
ate's widow. They hayo, therefore, estab-
lished the fact shat tho only test for office
holding in the House Is q proof that the
candidate was either ran active participant in the
war to brcak up the Union or Bympnthizer
with secession. The boys in blue 70 to the
rear; tho Rebels como to the front Thisis Just
tho condition Of things that The TRIBUNE pre-
licted would take place as soon as the House
was organized, and this is only the beginning
OF the end. Tho South ia moving upon tho
Treasury, and. as Mr.. LAMAR has been given
tho control Of tho Democratic votes, tho
Northern doughfacoa dare not stand in tho
why Of the ex-Rabels SElon1s of bills arc al
ready pouring in, tho minority Of them from
the South, and nearly every one Of them in.
voIving claim or an appropriation to RECON-
pense Coufederates for their loss aud trouble
in resisting tho Union army. On Tuesday,
233 bills were introduced, tho majority Of
which were to enable ex~Rcbeis to get their
hands into the Treasury md remunerats
themselves for losses incurred in the
War of the Rebellion. And this Is but the
| beginning Of the end, only the few first
| drops before the shower, the advance guarl
Of the grand Bourbon raid upon the Treas-
ury, Which has been made possible by the
dirt-eatinB and doughfaeeism Of the Nurth-
| ern Democracy. or these Northern Demo-
crats. at least sixty GRO holding their scats in
| tho Houso-fve or six from this 6tato a,oua
by virtue Of Republican votea (who fool.
ishly thought the LEOPARD could ehangs his
sposs), and this IL the manner in which thoy
arc paying back for tho political advantages
they have secured. Wo hope that the Re-
publicans who helped aloct them arc sstis-
fed with their success in helping to throw
the coptzol Of the House Of Representatives
into the hands Of ex-Rebels and to give Con.
foderates precedence over Union soldiers.
