w. f. Gordon, we'll known in La
fayette county, where he became a
minister of the gospel some five or
sig years ago. has recently proven
himself to be L great %scounIrel. He
was deposed from the ministry by
the Lexington presbytery of the
Cumberland Presbyterian church, last
November, for indecent proposals to
females on two several occasions. He
has since continued to preach, how
ever, at intervals, although rcnoun-
ced by the body To which he had be-
longed. On last Saturday he eloped
from Pleasant llll!, Cass county, with
Miss Lizzie Horney, d young girl,
aged eighteen, daughter of an esti-
mabIe citizen OF that vicinity. The
pair went to Kansas City, where they
took rooms at a hotel and remained
until Monday afternoon, when Cor
don was arrested and put in Jail, and
the girl returned To the custody of
her father. The girl is said to have
been engaged to be married to a
worthy young man, who is deeply
grieyed at her conduct. Gordon has
a wife and children at Knob NOster,
who are in INDECENT circumstances.

PUT THEM ON THE DEFENSIVE.

Congress met Oh Wednesday,, the
9TH inst, and the house Strengthened
itself out for work. The democratic
majority in that body should thor
oughly understand, by this time, what
they have to do aud how they propose
to do it. The first step should be an
aggressive one, no defensive policy
ever yet succeeded. Strike down the
appropriations, as has been indicated,
at least twenty-five per cent. Dis
close the frauds of the radical party
i'll all their various ramifications.
Let the country know what the mon
ey has been spent for in the navy de-
paftment; how many millions of
dollars have been embeZZled i'll the
internal revenue department what
the various subsidies amount to :;
what is the extent of the rascalities
i'll the District of Columbia ring:
how many of the custom houses of
the country cost more to the govern
ment than they collect; how many
articles are protected, at large cost to
the people, where no Lreye-
from their Protection
ANA wiaL Ia1 slnecures are held, that
they may be abolished. This is part
OF the work before the democratic
house. The democracy has nothing
to defend. 1t is responsible for none
o! the mlsgOvcrnment of the country
for The last fifteen years. In that time
gigantic monopolies have grown up

Of being governed by the country,

the purpose of taking steps Sc

By dispatches from Vienna we are
informed that the United States gov
eminent has been in communication
with European governments with a
view of bringing about a combined
Intervention in Cuban affairs. The
"Monroe doctrine, (which maintained
hat no European country should be
permitted to interfere in American
affairs, has become dear to the hearts
of our people, and is sound in princi-
pie. This actiOn-of President Grant
is 81 reprehensible that it brings this
strong protest from one of the leading
republican papers of the country, the
Chicago Tribune : "The United
States government would never dream
of Interfering with Great Britain or
Russia in any settlement either should
undertake of the Turkish question /;
and the anne reasOn which would
render such an interference imperti-
nent place European interference in
the Cuban controversy out of the
question. Either it is proper and
polite for the United States govern
ment To intervene between Spain and
Cuba on account of the demonstrated
imcapacity of the former to maintain
III Cuba the sovereignty it asserts, or
such Intervention is not proper or
polite. But in either case the United
States government must decide for
itself. If our rights and interests
suggest such an Intervention, the
United States government has ample
power to assert them without counsel
or help from other nations /; if not,
then the cooperation of other nations
could not justify us in adopting such
4 course. But it would be a confess
sion of weakness at the very opening
of the Centennial year of our national
existence to call upon foreign govern
ments to help in the solution OF
peculiarly American problems"

The Memphis Appeals Jackson,
Miss, special says: Buel's resolu-
tions OH Ames' message were to-day
modified and passed by the senate.
The charge that Ames, actuated by a
spirit of enmity engendered by the
result Of the late election and the de-
feat Of his ambitious schemes, insin-
yates, if not decidedly charges, that
the new members were elected by in
tim:dation and fraud, vas consid-
cred and a committee was ap-
pointed to investigate the causes
that led to the late Democratic tri-
umph and to obtain data of the al
legged frauds in the house. Mr..
FeatherstOne introduced a resolution
to appoint a committee Of five to in
vestigate the official conduct of Ames
and ascertain what grounds there are
for the charges against him of COM
hitting high crimes and misdemean-
ers. with instructions TO report the
evidence taken as soon as possible.

PUNISH THE THIEVES.

The ST. Louis Republican, intimates
that some democratic papers have
feared to have the claims swl'idles
exposed as likely 10 injnre the demo-
cratic party in the state. we yieid
to no one in our fealty to the demo-
cratic party. We are democrats 1or
the reason that we believe that Oh the
success of the principles taught by
that party, from the days of Jeffer-
son, depend the liberties of the peo-
pie. We are partisans because we
believe tina: the idea that a republic
can government can be conducted
honestly, without parties, is utoplan
and impossible as without parties
there would be no organized suryell-
lance of public servants. In one
word: we are strongly democratic
but. we would regard with distrust
any newspaper or official who would
try to screen a scoundrel because he
was of our party. The nation is III
tcrested in detecting all dishonest
officials, and we rejoice when a guilty
man is punished Z; but democrats are
especially interested i'll seeing that
every dishonest man, who Is elevated
to position by their aid, is, by their
aid, brought o conviction. Ii the
party cannot stand without condon-
ing the offenses of members in its
ranks, it had as well fall; for no mat
ter ho " good may be the doctrines 1t
teaches, if it does not honestly con-
duct the business entrusted to II,
nothing but evil can come of its sue
cess. We do not believe, however,
that there is a single democratic pa
per in the state that would try TO
shield a criminal because he was q
democrat. There has been much
more Importance attached to these
claims frauds than was justified, and
the idea was allowed to go abroad
that the state of Missouri had been
robbed of so many hundreds of thou
san Is OF dollars, when the truth OF
the business is, that it was only an
attempt at a gigantic swindle, which
was nippedin the bud by a democrat
ic administration.
AS the Republican says. cit is not
very likely that the democratic party
of the state will be broken up by the
conviction of claims forgers," whether
they be democrats or republicans.
That party is not in the habit of pro-
tecting its thieves. In Tweed's case,
the most fragrant that has ever oc-
CURED, the city of New York owes
its thanks to T1lden and O'Coner, two
democrats, for its disenthrallment'
And, as enthusiastic democrats, we
hope that the day will never come
when democrats will try to conceal
criminals in their own party.
For one, the Lexington Intelligent
Ger is pledged to expose any public
officer, be he democrat or be he re
publican, whom it may discover te
be uniaithful to his trust. At the
same time that we promise this, we
do not propose to accuse any one Oh
mere rumor or suspicion, and while
we shall always oppose the republi
can party, as a party, we shall no
refrain from giving an honest officer
his due because he is a republican
The first great necessity of the
country is to get rid of its thieves
and to remand them to that OBSCURE
~ from which they never would hav'
been drawn, had it not been for tn
war and it's demoralizing influences

for that to be a larger sale than he
has yet had. Mr.. z. Moore, the

officiate in future. In order to el.-
courage these sales, which should be
%patronized by every stock man in the

vertisements of stock wanted, or stock
which will be offered for sale on those
