THE past year has been remark
able only for the almost total alb
scnce of any Of those great events
in the affairs of the world which
mark ages and periods as great
epUchs. In our own country there
has lie n nothing of greater ma
ture than those local and personal
occurrences which for a moment
attract general attention and then
are totally forgotten and seldom
found worthy of Il place in history.
Abroad there has been little worthy
of note. The Spanish war and the
revolt in Cuba are chronic cases,
scarcely found Of sufficient moment
now to put the telegraplrto use in
recording their events, The Her.

THERE are serious indications of
the application OF tile pruning

is just now receiving the largest

The Admiral costs the country Sl5,
600 a year, $1,000 of the amount
going to his Secretary, a person
whose existence is doubtful and
whose duties are nothing. Even
the Admiral is said to he pretty
much a supernumerary. He can
not be, done away with, but there is
M eason why several thousand
dollars may not be cut off his very
liberal allowance. The Admiral
is q fair sample of the whole pack,
many of whom could be very easily
spared from the service of the dear
country, and those who would be
left would not suffer by having
their salaries reduced. Let the

resolution calling for an investiga

which he claimed was fraudulent
owing to the use of fraud and in
timidation in securing n Demo
cratic majority. For once, however,
be seems to have met with but a
cold response on the part OF his
fellow Republicans. The actual
vote was no larger than on similar
occasions, MOI any less, and Revels,
colored ex-senator from Missls-
sippi gives the lie to Morton's state
ment by declaring that the simple

their destination, and categorically
informing themselves as to the
historic, ethic, aesthetic end other
merits of everything to se seen.
His friend thereupon proposes to
take him on q two. weeks journey,
whose destination is to be a pro.

THE ORDAR or TIE AMERICAN
UNION.

UYYON.
The signs of the times are GER
tainly poFtentous of some thing
brewing for the near future.
That this is to be the election OF
Grant to a third term there is little
doubt. Everything seems to lean
in'that direction. Only n week or
two ago the New York Herald gave
a full and explicit exposure OF a
secret political society which 1t
had unearthed. This society Is
known as the 20. A. T., or Order
of the American Union. 1t Is of
the dark-lantern kind and modelled
essentially after the old Know
Nothing organization. Protested
ly the society has for its object the
protection and perpetuatlon OF the
American system of common
schools. Really it is but a piece
of political machinery devised and
established by some shrewcd poll
%ticains to aid them in their designs
upon the offices and privileges OF
our Government, intended, no
doubt, to monopulize the governing
| power and make an invisible body
vital dictator in the affairs OF
I government, thus striking our Tree
institutions in their most vital
parts. it is composed Of councils,
legislatures and a national body
called the "Senate." This latter
body is clothed with absolute pow
ers in all matters relating to the
organization. II cannot, accord
ing to It's constitution, make any
political nominations, but it is the
duty OF SENATORS to ascertain u e
claims of all candidates, and the
senate can thus actually make or
break politicians while not seeming
to exercise any power in that di-
ection.
With the fate of the Know Moth
ing organization before them as a
warning it does not seen probable
that the Order of the American
Union could meet with much favor.
Still it is said to number many
thousands and includes among its
members some of the most promi-
ncnt preachers and politicians 81
the day. Grant and Blaine are
both members and are said to cor

ganized in the interest Of one OF

SUBSIDIES.


House before the vacation. This
resolution declared 1t TO be the
opinion of the House that all sub
sides 10 the nature Of land grants
to railroads, &c, were unwise just
at this time and therefore inexpe-
dent. One member of our delega-
ton only voted against the resolu-
tion, Hon. Casey Young, of the
Memphis district. The others
either voted for il or did not vote
at all, our member, we are pleased
TO say, being among those who
voted for the resolution.
Speaking of the adverse criti-
cisms of certain of our contempt
rarles we notice the case OF an ex-
change from the lower end Of the
State. Its editor seems to regard
the resolution as aimed directly at
the Texas Pacific Railway, a pro-
posed route which it appears to
look upon as purely a Southern
road and argues from the fact that
the other route across the plains
received government aid there
should be aid given to this South
ern road. The poor people Of the
South, it says, n taxed heaviey to
pay the bondholders of the Central
Pacific, but may not have a road OF
their own. In the first place the
Texas Pacific will be a Southern
road only in name and location
It's earnings would all 60 to North
ern capitalists while Its manage
ment would be entirely IN the hands
of Northern parties with that no
torious corruptionist, Tom Scott,
the Pennsylvania railroad king, at
their head, and we fail TO see how
it could be otherwise than harmful
to the people North and South to
strengthen his hand at their cost
To have given aid to this gigantic
scheme would have been to exact
more money from the oppressed
people of the South, without any
perceptible return benefit.
Our Congressman have done just
exactly right, whether or not their
course was polite. Henry Clay's
noble declaration that he would
rather be right thnn be President
fits their case exactly. The party
they represent is composed Of
those Democrats Of the olden time
whose faithfulness to principles
and the old time order of things
could not be swerved by base con
siderations of power and plumber:
of much of the better elements oil
the noble old Wing party, and Of
those of later generations whose
minds were susceptible of venerat'
inc the work and the ways OF the
fathers, aud whose hearts naturally
revolted at the bold, unblushlns
efrontery Of radicalism which tore
down and desolated the shrines al
which the patriot bowed. These
people demand retrenchment, econ.
omy and honesty, They will moi
tolerate the renewal of the corrupt
ing opportunities of the scandaIou'
past and they are content to foregt
all personal and sectional consider
alton to the end that corruption
may be bauished from our legisla
tive halls and extravaganza from
the departments of the Govern
ment and that the whole people
may be, in the end, freed from
burden and reunited in interests.
