own utterances made it sufficiently patent
There will be no doubt in the public mind
as 10 the justice and propriety OF the re-
marks of Messrs. Frye, Hale and Hoar, IN
his condemnation. His humiliation was
made complete by the action OF his col
leagues, who, 50 far from giving him any
countenance or support, voted almost to a
man to recommt the report. and with
draw for the present. at least, the exoner-

| Democratic Rcform-IniOn Sol
| dicrs Removed by the House to
make Room for Rebels.
! A prominent instance of Democratic Re-
| form is the change made in the officers
and employees in the House of Represen-
tatives since that branch of Congress fell
| under the control of a democratic ma ority.
| In December last the democrats organized
| the House. With their large majority they
| were able to elect all officers from Speak
er down, and control all appointments to
place.
One of the most striking and significant
uses which they made of this power was
to turn Union soldiers out of places which
they held, and give places to men who had
been in the rebel army. 1t has been
denied in some democratic organs that
| they pursued this course of hatred to-
| wards the Union soldiers and respect for
the ext onfcderates, but the facts arc in
dsputable. They seemed to think the
| men who fought for the Union had no
rights that democrats should respect, aud
men who fought against the government
were specially entitled to democratic at
tention and reward.
The New York Times has recently pub
lished list of the removals and appoint
ments by the democratic House which viii
end dispute about the matter. That list
tells the story We republish it for the in
formation of our readers, who we hope
will examine it carefully and ponder the
lesson which it teaches. The column on
| the left hand contains the names of officers
removed and employees discharged, and
the column on the right those appointed.
The Union soldiers discharged have their
names printed in small capitals. the
names of Confederates appointed are in
italics. A star designates the Union SOL
diers who were disabled by wounds re-
| ceiyed in the service:
