PARTY DISCIPLINE FAILS
 FOR ONCE.
The Country shall bc Free.

 Lash In Vain.
A Victory For the Country

.COming Events Cast their
 Shadows BefOrc;" ifsO, the
 Death-knell tO the Car
 pet-bagger's Power
 Will soon be
 Heard.
 On Friday January 20th at l0:- 25 .. m., the lower house of Con- gress adjourned after solid ses. sion. of Forty-six hours, and twenty-five minutes. In announce ing this adjournment, we record . victory for the country-a tr,- umph of right--a vindication Of correct principles. For forty SIX hours and twenty-five minutes the bosses of the Radical party in the House have piled the party lash, unsparingly and without in tcrmission, to whip through . resolution adopted by a caucus of Republican members. Tie reso- lution placed the power of pass ing all public acts with majori- ty of the house. Thus the two thirds rule in regard to public acts, including Civil Rights, the energetic enforcement of the pro- tectivc laws in the South, Ark ansas and Louisiana matters and authorizing the President in cer- tain cases to suspend the writ of habeas corpus, could have been evaded; and an easy victory would have been gained for car pet bag politicians. But for once the party lash has Called. The bosses cracked the lash in vain, the recalcitrants stood firm and the gulf is now fixed between them. This may be regarded as the test; 1t was the last resort, and may be taken as . fair indi- cation of the success which will crown similar efforts hereafter. Slowly but surely the lines arc being drawn.

THE MILITIA.
A Word of Explanation.


 We learn that there is n consid- erable degree of uneaslness in va rions parts of our county arising out of the organization of the State Militia in our county. There seems to be some distrust as to the object of this move, and few are so timid that they are just ready to flee the country. We will take occasion to assure every man in the county, that there is no cause for alarm. Dis arm all fears and come up and enroll your names. The organization is being made in pursuance to a law of your state. It is legitimate, right and proper. ART II ofthe amendments to the Constitution of the United States says q we'll organized msHs tia is necessary to the security Of q free state. The legislature of 1868 enacted the law under which the State Militia Is now being or ganizcd, and as we said before, it is right that the organlzation should be effected. It is nothing more than we had years ago, and no good citizen need have any scruples at enrolling. It is one of the duties of a good citizcn-as much so as to pay his taxes. There is no prospect or probabili- ty of any active service being re- quired.

 \ Demonstration Against the Third Term.

Mir. Potter, one of the mem
 bcrs of the subcommittee who went to New Orleans and came back and told the truth in their re- port, gave anew proof of his wis dom yesterday by introducing in the House resolution for an amendment to the constitution limiting the President to one term. If he had proposed one term of four years instead of one term of six years we should like his proposition better; but W, are glad that tine democrats of tn, House, by unanimously voting for it, have borne their tcstimon, in favor of a sonnd principle an, much needed reform. Mir. pot ter's resolution also received som, republican votes, but not enougl to pass 1t We trust this nov
 was not made for mere party ei feet, and if it was not tue demo cratic party has bound itself t carry such a proposed amcndmcn through the next House and sen \ II to the Senate for concurrence,

Grant Backing Down.


 The tough coating of this ani- malls conscience seems to have been pierced ut last. Senator Thurmans resolution calling on him to say why the army was used to organize q State Legisla- turc. has drawn from Grant re- ply which the New York Tribune pronOunccs inexact in it's history of Louisiana affairs, labored and heavy in its defense of the Kel- logg Government, and q failure in its statement of facts. As first drawn, the answer is said to have been bitter and defiant; but it was we'll understood that such an answer to a decorOus Senate reso- lutiOn, would cause three if not four members of his cabinet to re- sign, and Grant concluded that bullying would do no good. Though quite toned down in man. ner, the message is simply an apology for Shcridan's outrage, and proves that Grant Is as igno- rant of the requirements of the constitution as his brigand, Sher- idan is. The man suits the mas ter in ignorance as we'll as in ty- ranny.

A PROBLEM FOR OUR
 LAW.IIAKEIsS TO SOLVE.

The unpleasant fact stares us in the face that there are many peO- pie in our county and we presume such is the case all over the state who arc going to find it very hard matter to get through the coming year without suffering, unless there is some assistance rendered them. The year just passed. was n very unfavorable crop year. Many hard working men found it impos- sible to pay up and have anything left to supply themselves the pres- ent year. Somc-quite number find they did not make even enough to settle with their mer- chants; and have to ask to be car
 
 ried over for part. X few are so careless of their reputation for honesty that they don't make any effort to pay. Under tho existing exemption provisions of our con  stitution there is not many cases where the merch ant can enforce collections. But few are worth the amount of exemptions allowed. There is virtually no collection laws at all. It all rests with the honor of the parties. There is no encouragement for the merchant to assist the needy; he has no protection; he can carry only such cases as he considers sure; the consequence is, many see want staring them in the ::facc and no succor in sight.
 We see here the urgent ncccssi. ty for some provisions of law which will encourage the man of capital to assist the needy. The provis- ion must afford some ample secur- ity to the bcnefactor and at the same time must not impose undue hardship upon the beneficiary: must be just to the one and not oppressive to the other.
 Without some such enactment we fear there will be many cases of dcstitution which will be sadly neglected. With it, and by the use of economy, industry and ju- dicious management on the part of the destitute, there is no reason why the unpleasant prospect of much suffering during the coming year, should longer be n source of anxiety.

 eed tile sword so cut
 aA An appeal to the sword wet.ld be Il crime, and crime pcrpetrated in the interest of the Presidents ambition. Nor should all independent men of either par ty ignore the gravity of the situa- tion. They snccred at our proph- ccies of !Cesarisin, yet9 9thcy came to accept them when they could be no longer denied. Nothing is more the duty of independent men--tlemocrats and republicans --than to deal with this war spirit that comes muttering to us from Washington as they would deal with crime against the integrity of the Republic. Grant should be forced to resign, and the Pres idcncy transferred to Mir. Wilson. Sharp percmptory, decisive ex- prcssions of opinion by Congress in the beginning may save disas- ters in the end. Such action even now may compel Grant to surren- der the office he uses to the inju- ry of the country. Butsthc war purpose exists, and the President should be taught that. he cannot thus trifle with the interests of the country for his own personal am bition. The resignation of Grant means peace, and so long as he hesitatcs wo arc tlsresstens<l wtti. war.

REPUBLICANisM.-Ostensibly a republican caucus considers plans for protecting the negro in the South; in reality it considers how it may carry elections in the Southern States; and in these two points are all the policy of the dominant party-how to carry the elections; how to get the offices and distribute the plunder, and how to make the manGuvres con- trivcd for this end seem like movements taken to secure the rights of an oppressed people this is the whole wisdom and gos. pei of republicanism-how to cheat, and how to mak your cheat ing look like virtne.-[N.

A bill is to be introduced at the next session of the British Parliament for constructing a railroad to the top ofSnowdon. It is intended to make the line after a similar pattern to that which as cends the Rigi, and, curiously enough, the gradients will he d. most exactly the same.

CORRECTION.

In Our last issue we noted tn. passage of an act suspending the sale of lands for delinquency and imposing a penalty of 10 per cent.
 We are just in receipt of a let ter from Hon. C. E. ToMy-our able Senator-in which he says we are mistaken about the bill passing in the house. He states that members of the house assure him it will net pass in it's pres cnt shape.
 We hope not.
 Senator Tobey says, "advisc your people to buy scrip while it can be had for 25 cents, as it will be worth more than twice that sum year from now. No man should put off the payment of taxes if it is possible to pay now.' Further our friend say, II wish the DEMOCRAT abundant success. May the Russcllvillc DEMOCRAT and all the big and little democrats prosper and may their shadow never grow less"
