SWORD EXERCISE IN rON-
eRESS.
The heated term at the National Cap
ital has not so completely Frustrated
tho hot wraDglers there that they are
quite amiable and nonresident in their
|dispositidus and demeanor. Where
over spark Is touched to the train
which underlies old differences a
mine Of bitter disputation is pretty
sure Of exploding. In the House the
Texas bill, so called, has proven a
prolific source OF party rancor. The
iste outrage upon the blacks at Ham
burg, South Carolina, furnishes the
material for q CALLING Are from the
Republican side Of the House. The
controversies thus engendsTed are de-
cidedly interesting. Congress has al
ready sat 100 many months. Senate
and House are fast assuming the char
acter of political debating clubs de-
fiant Of all the amenities OF Jciferson's
manual. In the Senate, Merrimon OF
North Carolina assailed the Republic
can party and its record. Morton with
his customary readiness and vigor of
reply responded to him. He said neat
thing when he rejoined upon the Tar
heel Senator with the clever pleasantly
that "Wheusver q Democrat wants to
hurt my feelings he charges me with hsv-
ing been Democrat. Sherman got
warmed up and talked some straight
forward politics. Said he:
Mcdonald and Mckee were put in the
State Prison by the Republicans. No
Democrat had any hand III il. He re-
ferred to the expenditure Of money III
the South, and said it was spent in put
ting down the KukluI organization. the
most infamous that ever existed. The
public money had been disbursed with
absolute fidelity. both during and since
the war Ii this was to be campaign
of scandal and abuse, calnmny and re-
preach, the people woald not heed 1t.
If the Democrats were trying to prove
Grant = rascal, and those who had car
could no. bring facts and figures The
PEOPLE wculd turn their backs upon the
party. The Democratic party had been
crying reform, but it must do something
else before the people would trust the
associates Of Tweed in New York. The
Republican party had given the country
a good Administration and the people
were willing to trust it further. The time
had not arrived when the Democrats
could again come into power.
In the House they had it hot and
heavy. In the running debate over the
Texas bill Townsend OF New York and
Sunse. Cox carried on very lively fusi-
lade. Townsend is as knurly bit Of
Black Republican timber as one may s1-
pect to find, anywhere. He is man
we'll along in the fftiss. stocky, short
haired, hard-headed and brim full of
vehemence ami pluck. Allusion having
been made to Cex's old associates, Til

Co1-I never had any connection with
them to dissolve. II was the Repub!i-

bis frauds in New York. Everybody
knows that never in my life gave
voice or vote to help him.
Townsend-!ea never cast vote
against Tammany since God made you.
Loud shouts to ordsr.l You are the
most perfect tool of Tammany who has
sver been in New York. Laughter. up.

that chair, thank God, at the cali OF
Kelly and 90 to st. Louis. Thauk God,
you are out Of it and cauno. get it back.
This is healthy if not altogether digni- |
fed. 1t shows that there is no stagna-
ton o. blood and no dry sangrene of old
wounds to apprshend. Out OF this heat
Cd ferment will come action and decisive
results. The lines between Republican
performances and Democratic profession
are being strongly drawn. The stronger
the better. All that need be asked IS
full and honest contrast between the
principles and achievements Of the two
partiss-ksepins steadily i'll view that
