THE DEMOCRATIC REBELLION

We publish in another place, an article
from the Cincinnati Gazette, giving
pretty full history of the new Democratic
rebellion in Louisiana. As we always
supposed would be the case, the Demo
Gratis North and South justify the rebel
lion, Just the same as they did the rebel
lion of lS60-61. The most vicious, noisy
and reasonable of the Northern Demo
cratic organs, is the New York Tribune
the paper founded by Horace Greeley.
In a late number it said:
ssIt will be seen that when the Legislature is
in session, or can be convened, an application
from the Governor for aid is not sufficient. The
President cannot lawfully stir until the Legis-
lature has called him. AS for interfering with
the Legislature, that is unpardcnable under any
circumstances whatever, The Governor has no
right either to modest that body himself or to
invite the President to do it; and when Gen.
Grant sent his soldiers into the chamber to
expel certain members whom Mr.. Kellogg did
not admit to be elected he committed the graV-
est offense against the independence Of a SOW
ereien State of which President can be guilty.
Tt is not worth while to inquire whether the
elected members were fairly elected or regularly
admitted. So far as 1t appears they were both.
But whether they were or not l0ds none O the
Presidents blLsfT3eSs. 1t was none Vi MI. hSh-
loeg's business. The Legislature Is the sole
Judge of the qualifications of its own members,
and having voted these contestants (as 1t had
perfect right to do), it was not competent for
the Executive to review the action. Through
what startling or original theory of executive
duties and responsibilities Gen. Grant reached
the contrary conclusion we curious to
learn"
Just look at that secession, rebel twad-
die, about 1.-The independence OF a sovereign
State" That doctrine was not fully and
effectually thrashed out of the Democracy
during their late rebellion, and it will
have to be done before there is peace in
the South. All the rebels wanted thir-
teen years ago. was to be let alone in
their treason. 1t is all they ask now.
Louisiana is the very last portion of
the United States that should set up
claim to sovereignty-to independence.
It never was sovereign, or independent.
1t was mere province, subject to and
owned by foreign power, was purchased
with the money of the entire nation, not
the money of Louisiana, and now it
wants to rule the nation which owns it.
by the swagger of sovereignty.
During the war, and ever since, we
have never for o moment doubted sha

CONGRESS-.

We are pleased to see that the South
ern outrages and murders are rousing
such men in Congress as Gen. Butler and
Gen. Logan. Last Wednesday, in the
Senate, Gen. Logan said:
s'That when colored men were murdered in
Louisiana, no voice was raised on the Demo-
cratic side of this chamber to challenge the
wrong perpetrated. He charged that these
murders were committed by the Democrats.
He Iogan) was much in favor of having this
Information before the Senate as any one here
but he desired to warn his friends on the other
side of the Chamber that they must make their
friends stop their murders. If they did not they
would be made to stop, and armies of the United
States would be used to stop them. Those who
stood by these murderers were no better than
those who committed the crime. Here there
was a slight demonstration toward applause in
the gallery, but it was promptly checked by the
Vice-Presidentr"
1t is worthy of notice that the day be-
fore the slight applause at Gen. Logan $
remarks was so summarily checked by
the presiding officer of the Senate, rebel
Democrat from Georgia, named Gordon,
was making one of the characteristic
Southern speeches, when there was ap-
third time, the presiding officer threat
ened to have the galleries cleared if there
were any more such demonstrations.
Pretty soon thsgs vas more applause,
~ifgrr the rebel was boasting what "my
people" would do in certain event. But
no action was taken to check it. This is
precisely what took place before the COM
mencement of the other Democratic re-
bellion Every rebel speech called forth
applause from the loafng traitors, male
and female, who crowded the congress
sional lobb:es. We hope some member
of Congress may have courage enough to
take measures to have the seat of the
National Government removed to civ
ilized city, some where in the free States.

arms to tlx Its character, for every Demo
cratic member was armed
Yet this armed mob, this mere liotous
assembly, which had overthrown all law,
had the effrontery to protest against the
entry of the soldiers of the United States,
to simply enforce the law, as if that were
the violent interference, and to prate OF
a sovereign State being overthrown by
Federal bayonets. The murderer turns
upon the Sheriff, and charges him with
introducing force. The legal authority
in Louisiana was overthrown by an armed
mob, made bold by a great armed military
organization behind them, when the
United States commander interposed to
quell the riot, and enforce the law of the
State.
Now what shall be done? Louisiana is
actually in state of war. There is in
reality no civil government there. Neith-
er a government which would be over
thrown by armed rebellion as soon as the
United States forces were withdrawn,
nor government which would cave in
by such rebellion, would be civil govern
ment. The thorough reformatory meas
ure would be to set aside the State Govern
ment altogether, and govern the State by
Congressional authority, by form re-
sembling, as far as conditions will admit,
that of our Territorial government.
But if Congress and the President shall
hesitate at the only thorough and ade-
quate measure, then why not put in
operation the justice and moral force that
Gen. Sheridan advises, by Furnishing those
guilty of rebellion and murder and by
dealing with the armed rebel organiza-
tlons according to their true character,

The Marietta Register speaking about
the publication of the Commissioners
Report in the Macarthur Enquirer and
and the STANDARD, says:
"And we published the report in detail, in
circulation then of over 3OO0, nearly three times
that of either of the named papers, &C."
The Register does not say how much
over three thousand its circulation was.
1t makes bold statement, not warrant
ed by the facts. 1t knows nothing about
the circulation of the STANDARD. At that
time our regular issue was 1,680-a
little more than one-third of 5000. We

Our Random Thoughts are a little rough ON
few of our former friends, but we are not alone.
1t is the general feeling among publishers.
Here is the manner in which the st. Louis Her.
aid views it:
We haven't fully made up our mind whether
to require the subscribers of the Herald to pay
postage, or 10 send the paper and pay the post
age ourselves. But of one thing we moral
ly, physically and teetotaly certain: The indi-
V1dual who gets his name down on our books
after the LIST of January without drawing ''his
weasel skin" will be very odd sort of rooster,

accents sweeter tar than the Culcet strains of an

there are plenty of fair-minded people in Gra-
tiot county who will rejoice in paying the
small amount of their subscriptions in advance
and thus not only secure a livelier and better
paper, but aid us in effectually killing off and
rfdding this section of the continent or class
of readers (blood-suclS SerS is a better word) who
though perhaps unintentionally sinful and for
getful, are the bane of the Woodworking prin-
ter, and where encouraged, detract at least one
third from the value and completeness which
would otherwise attach to his labors. After the

We refer in another place to a rebel named
Gordon, who is prancing around in the United
States Senate. The Columbus Journal hits him
few well directed blows, as follows:
Now, who is this John B. Gordon, who stands
up in the United States States charging the Ma
tional government and people with such intol-
erance and outrage? He was less than ten
years ago a Confederate General, commanding
division of troops, fighting against the United
States government in open rebellion, and fight
ing f1ercely and well, too. He is already serv-
ing his second session in the United States Sem
ate within one degree of the highest place in
the government whose intolerance toward his
class he denounceS. Under any other govern
ment on earth, instead of being now a member
of its highest legislative body, he would have
been hung nine years ago. anG his property
confiscated TO the State. He talk of intoler-
ance! And on he floor of the Senate! He had
better be on his knees, thanking God for the
unexampled clemency of the American people,
through which he not only lives and enjoys
liberty and property, but occupies the honored
place of returned Prodigal Son.

No one doubts that if our new railroad can be
kept out of the hands of foreign &anitalists If
will pay. The Springfield Republic tNhinks this
can be done thus:
1t is prop that the Springfield, Ja4slzSon a.
Pomeroy Railway shall be built by the Sneonie
along its line, and shall be owned and opSsrofed
by the people, through agents of theirI own
choice. How is this guaranteed. Itis provid in
the subscription books, that no Subscriptidbn Of
stock is binding until 100000 shall b. subsSsrib
ed; which sum is estimated to be ample for
construction of the road, ready for the cars
from Springfield to Jackson. With $SL0, ,k100
bona f1de subscriptions to the stock of the S.IJ
& P. R. r. Co., no debt need be incurred whideb
the company cannot provide for from its reg1
lar earnings.

The man who loans his money at ten per
cent. thinks he is making a fair profit. And so
he is. But here is something much better, if
the Springfield Republic has not been misin-
formed. 1t says:
Those who have figured most thoroughly and
carefully, with a knowledge of the traffic and
resources of the counties through which the 81
J. & p. Railway is located, have no hesitation
in giving the opinion that it will be paying
road. They will put their money into it, iTt
this faith. Some of them believe it may be
safely relied upon for annual dividends of fif-
teen to twenty per cent.

think we see the fat man prancing around: ::

He was talking business with friend, and as
he came TO the bench he parted his coat tails
and sat down on the penny, remarking: AS
was saying, YOU can have forty acres for

amazement, the hot penny stocking to him like
a brother, and it was two or three minutes be
fore any one found out whether he had dropped
down on tack or been bitten by dog. There
was heavy aroma of burning cloth and bIiS-
tered meat, and Mr.. johnson stretched forth
his arm and exclaimed that he should devote
