The Grant dynasty at Washington al e
laboring to fix things up to sustain them
selves by the military in the Southern
States. We must think it will prove a
disgraceful failure. Every effort in that
direction is costing them large numbers
of votes in the great Northern States.
There are tens of thousands who think
with Hon. Wayne MacVeach, one of
Pennsylvania's most prominent Repub-
licans, who thus puts the point:
"Every step in the process of the usur-
patton has been closely scanned by large
numbers of the voters of the Republican
party; and the last acts in the wretched
drama, the interference of military forces
of the General Government in the Or
ganization of the State Legislature, and
the dispatches of General Sheridan, were
utterly lawless and in such fragrant vio-
ation of all the traditions of our history,
as well as of all the principles on which
our liberties rest, that they are certain
to secure their own condemnation with
such emphasis as will make any repeti-
ton of them impossible. The Republi-
can party, believe, will be foremost to
insist that, in time of peace, the subor-
dination of the military to the civil
power shall be universal and absolute,
and that barriers between the Executive,
the Legislative, and the Judicial Depart
ments of Government shall not he at the
mercy of the bayonet, or depend upon
the discretion of any soldier, however
well he may have deserved of his coun-
try"
What will men of that stamp think of
the Republican Congressional caucus pro-
posal to authorize the President to put
the whole South under martial law?

THE notable thing in Congress on Sat
urday last was the passage of the bill for
the equalization Of soldiers bounties, by
vote of TT to 80. 1t met with strong
opposition on the ground first, that it
would add from $50, ,ooo, 900 to $Ioo, ,ooo,-
900 to the debt, and second, that it was
unfair for those States that paid large
bounties to be compelled to pay pro
rata share of the sum which this bill ap-
propriated for the benefit Of the soldiers
from States which paid small bounties.
The arguments, however, made no i'm
preston. The bill cannot pass the Sen
ate, and is therefore only a sop.

WHY WAS ITS

United States Senator Matt Carpenter,
of Wisconsin, has been making speeches
of late in his own State trying to account
for his defeat in reelection. He at.
tributes it to several things.
An exchange says it can instruct Mr..
Carpenter as to the reason, and briefly.
1t begins with an easy lesson, as follows
Matthew, take your book and stand up.
Open to lessons in one syllable of three
letters. "G-A-G. What does that
spell"
"Gdg"
"L-A-W. What does that SPELL"
"LdW-Gag Ldw"
"Right, Matthew; you may take your
seat-but not in the Senate"

IT is stated that the only papers that
sustain the President in his Arkansas
message are his Washington city organs.
In another part of this paper we give in
contrast his message sustaining Governor
Baxter against Brooks, and his late mes
sage declaring Brooks the real Governor
Since his first message the people of Ar
kansas adopted a new Constitution by a
very large majority, and elected under it
Governor Garland and a Legislature.
President Grant now proposes to upset
all this by the bayonet, and put in
Brooks, whom he condemned less than a
year agol We have heard that "consis
tency is jewel"

THE Minnesota Legislature has passed
a resolution calling upon William S.
King to clear himself from the Irwin
charges of connection with the Pacific
Mail Subsidy. or resign his seat in the
XLIVth Congress.
A SOMEWHAT singular coincidence in
the matter of names will be noticeable

gress, two Jones'. and two Morrills, and
with the exception of /, two Johnsons: :
Senator Johnston. of Virginia, and Sepa-

THERE are too many Federal Office
holders in the Southern States loa6ng
about Washington. This is no time for
figure-lead ineumbents Of important and
responsible positions in that section. Let
them forthwith set to their posts.-[ Pit.
Commercial.
Just what we Democrats have been
saying-that there are too many Federal
officials, both North and South-in Wash
ington and elsewhere. Our doctrine is,
off with their superhuous heads. All
this may help to account for the increase
of taxation.

IT is announced from Washington that
the deficit in the Postoffice Department
will be larger than ever this year. The
estimated falling short will be seven mil
lions of dollars for the year, or one mil
lion more than last year. There must be
a large leak somewhere in the depart
ment, and Mr.. Jewell would do we'll to
find it out and apply to Congress for the
means to stop it.
