Chairmanships of House Commit
tees held in the Southern States.

lCCS HClNA tbS A. h'etsN>''s
Where the power ofthe democratic par
ty is centred is shown by the makeup OF
the standing committees of the House.
While New England has not a solitary
chairmanship. in these committees the
Southern States have twenty-five of the
forty -four, just one half of the whole num-
ber The grasping, selfish, domineering
spirit of the Southern rebels made itself
felt at once and asserted its power over
the doughface democracy of the North,
when the organization of the House fell
into democratic hands.
We understand that some democrats in
Maine deny that the Southern States have
so many chairmanships as we have men
toned above. They don't like to admit
that the ex-Confederates control the dem
ocratc party. Not that it hurts the feel
ings of these doughfaces to meekly follow
the old rebel leaders of the South, but be-
cause they think it might damage the dem
ocratic vote in Maine were it plainly to
be seen that it is nothing but part OF
the tail to the ex-Confederate kite. That
there may be no mistake about this mat
ter we publish the following list, giving
the name of each Southern chairman of
the standing committees of the House, the
State to which he belongs and the COM
mttee of which he is chairman.

The clerks and mechanics and men on
salaries, who could i'll afford to spare any
thing, made honest income returns and
paid their full share of the tax. But Sam
uel j. Tilden, the millionaire, who could
so well afford to pay, made false returns
and thus defrauded the Government of a
large part of his just proportion.

however, that the journal herein alluded
to should regard all these things as the
outgrowth of civilization. since it dubs
itselfthe journal of civilization"
The next point made by the journal is
easily disposed of. 1t says 1.-The Demo
cratic party is the organ of the South"
while "the Republican party represents
Northern enlightenment and culture"
and therefore, in its opinion, the North
cannet afford to let the South win, for
there is an "irrepressible conflict" between
the two sections.
Such an expression when considered in
connection with what we have already
said regarding the alleged "Northern en-
lightenment and culture" becomes very
absurd. 1t is only worth notice on ac-
count of the spirit it displays. 1t
simply shows that MORTON and BLAINE
in their recent TRADES in Congress, did
not speak entirely from impulse. They
had determined in cold blood that, onein
the Senate and the other in the House,
should strive to rekindle sectional feeling
hoping to make it strong enough to offset
the damaging charges against their party
and give it success in the Presidential
fight, while to aid them in their designs,
the press should take up the cry, and
keep it before the people. But Fortunate
ly the people of the country, North and
South, have spoken out their sentiments
on several occasions, and every time
these sentiments have been as death
blows to the aspirations of those who
hope to mount into high official position
through sectional hate. There is indeed
an "irrepressible conflict" in the land,
but 1t is not such conflict as the "Jour-
nal of Civilization" declares, nor as it
would like to see. 1t is conflict be-
tween the people and Radical vindictive-
ness, and the people have their own INTEL
ests too much at heart TO permit them
selves to be overcome. This Centennial
year will witness, we believe, general
reconciliation between North and South,
and those unhappy malcontents-the
Radical politician of the North, and his
brother, the carpet bagger of the South,
will be consigned TO apartments by them
selves, where, to express it politely, they
can kick up little blades" oftheir own.

Appalling Loss to a Bank by Rob
berry.

berry.
Boston, January 27-Later details Of
the robbery of the Northampton Nationa
Bank state that the result is something
appalling. The table of the securities
taken shows a total of S670000. Ol
course much Of this is not negotiable, SC
that it Is difficult to estimate the real loss
to the bank and depositors. The bank
officers offer reward of $4,000 for the
return of the property and the conviction
of the burglars. The loss falls compara-
lively lightly upon the bank, the greater
part of the securities belonging to special
depositors.
The robbers entered the house of Cash
Ter Whittells,y and bound, gagged and
guarded for several hours seven people.
They compelled, him to give them the
combination Of the safe vault, waited un-
til they knew the watchman had gone
home and then gong into The vault and
safe with one of the four keys needed,
took large amount of securities. An
expert had to be summoned from New
York, and the lock was not opened until
ut an early hour this morning.
Cashier Whittlesy when asked to give
the three combinations to the vault, for
the outer door and chest doors, gave
them wrong twice and thrice, but the
burglars wrote them down and made
him repeat them. Oh course, they caught
him in the attempt to mislead them, and
the exhibition of pistol compelled him
TO tell the truth, though he told them
that four keys were necessary to open
the lock, three of which were at the house
OF the other bank officer. At 4 o'clock
A. NJ, Mr.. Whittlesy was taken to d
down stairs bed room, the whole family
were gagged and four of the burglar
withdrew to operate on the bank. Three
hours after Mrs. Whittlesy succeeded in
freeing herself, and giving the alarm
from the window the whole party were
speedily liberated. The cashier, still
wearing the handouts, went to the bank,
but Il clever workman soon after fitted a
key and all the parties handcufied were
released. An examination of the bank
shows that the cracksmen had unlocked
the outer door, but were apparently
balked by the safe lock, lacking three of
the four keys. They tried the metal of
the floor with bars, and tore of the two
dials which served as an index for work
ing the combination. They were
entirely unmolcsted, the watch
man having gone home. There is
every indication that Elk, all Of them, left
on the o'clock train. Five of them had
tickets, previously bought, and one paid
his fare. The gags were childrens rub
ber balls pierced with astitf wire, and the
masks were drawer legs, some with one
hole and some with two, for the eyes.
When the robbers saw that Whittlcsy
was watching them carefully, for some
marks of identification, they blindfolded
him, but he observed that one Of them
was of very commanding stature. The
two or three robbers left to guard the
premises, took their departure in season.
At the latest adv.ces no information had
been received of the robbers.
