on The confirmation of Billings. the
Philadelphia Times (Rcpublican) says
today;
The Senate ofthe United States, by It's
confirmation Of Judge Billings TO sue
coed the less infamous Durell, has dis
uraced the nation. the State Of Louisiana
and itself There can be no palliation,
no excuse. The daring usurpcr that
Kellogg was, he had totally failed Of his
purpose. without the cunning Of Bill
uuas to direct his plans. The thorough
villain that Durell was, his midnight
order had never issued had Billings
not been at hand TO write It. Unscrupu-
lo,s icrger that Norton was, the assignee
had been we'll nigh harmless, without
the willy counsel Of Billings. to direct
his friends. Shrewd intriguer that
pinckback WAS, he had never dared TO
show his face at the Capital had Billings
not been there TO manipulate his case.
There Ia nota carpet bagger In tho whole
South to-day, whom this man Billings
does not surpass In will and capacity
for wrong. The President Of the United
States knew this when he nominated
him, and the Senate has not confirmed
him ignorantly. II has done its worst.
The admission Of Pinchback TO n body
which has not even hesitatod at this
outrage IL no longer question, and II
may we'll be doubted whether he will
not confer as great IN honor
upon the Senate In the acceptance OF
his seat as hc will receive In its bcstowal.
Billings says hc will open court on
the third Monday In February. He
leaves for New York tomorrow with his
commission. BIJou.

A Caution.

Our Democratic friends will pardon us for
q word of caution in reference to the election
of congressman in this district this fall. We
understand that trading is being attempted
in favor OF Mr.. Harris for Tilden votcs.-
Now the Republicans wei. know that Mary
land is certain for Tilden and Hendricks in
any event. They can therefore well afford
to trade Mr.. Harris for Tilden, and thereby
endeavor TO defeat Hon. Charles B. Roberts
and gain their congressman. 1t little matters
to them whether the electoral vote of this
State goes by 10000 or 10000 majority for
Tilden and Hendricks, but it is great mat
ter indeed 10 trade against Mr.. Roberts, so
as to gain the election of Mr.. Harris.
Let all true Democrats and Reformers be
upon their guard against such insidious in
roads into the ranks of our good old party.
Let there be no trading of candidates, and
no receiving of tickets on the part of voters
except from known and reliable Democrats.
Eternal vigilance is the price Of liberty.

ANOTHER FALsEHooD XPosED.-On
every Republican stump from Maine to
Texas, and by every Republican speaker,
from Blaine down to the most insignificant
crossroad spouter, the lie has been repeated
that the last Congress gave a monopoly of
positions to ex-Confederate soldiers. The
full official list of the Democratic House of
Representatives shows that the very reverse
has been the case. In that much abused
House the employees were 232 in number,
and of these only 20 were exConfederate
soldiers. The Union States had 175 positions,
while only 81 were held by persons from
States engaged in the Rebellion, and of these
81 many were loyal to the Union during the
war. 81 of the old employees were retained,
and the list includes Is colored men and So
Union soldiers, of whom 10 were wounded
in the service. The number of Union soldiers
employed was exactly double the number of
Confederate soldiers, and the employees from
Union States was over three times as great
as those from Rebel States The Union
soldiers employed by the Republican House
in the 43d Congress, numbered, as far as can
be ascertaincd, only 80, so that the Demo-
cratic House has given employment to more
Union soldiers than the Republican House
Democratic House appointed three Union
soldiers for eCery too appointed by tie Repu6-
leans.

Home Boy truly says " interests at least nine

He however failed to observe the drunkenness,
swearing and filth during the four days that
your correspondent seems to have observed in
his one hours visit; but on the contrary, re-
peats the observations of thousands of other
visitors in saying the good order and freedom
from obscenity of all kinds was universally
commended We fear Home Boy has an itching
ear.
The board of directors doubtless always wei.
como suggestions looking to an Improvement
of their plans, but Home Boys suggestion No.
, looks to me more like an attempt to subvert
than to improve them The special object the
directors have in view in excluding visitors from
the space in front of the grand stand is OF
course best known to themselves ; but the ne
ccssity for such exclusion must be apparent to
the most casual observer Whether apparent
or not, it is of the rules Of the society," and
as such every good citizen should observe it,
If that was violated the same reason exists fol-
violating Others, and it requires no prophecy to
fortell the pandemonium that would follow the
assembling of thousands of lawlcss persons
without the existence Of authority to restrain
| them. His suggestion to visitors to use force
enough to occupy the space in front of the grand
stand, is an appeal to the mob spirit that would
not oGly make our exhibition an impossibilty,
but would subvert the laws of the land. The
best construction we can place upon Home
Boys lcttcrls that he is riotcr possessed of q
communistic spirit, and has no followers.

says:

speaker, and is doing noble service in the
