The dealers in New York city have

We approve of the appointment OF
every Confederate or ex-confederate
that the House of Representatives at
Washington have made--but we DIS
approve of a man making an ass OF
himself because of such selections.
This bugaboo of "rebel' and tex
confederate" is about played out
with people of common sense as a
scare-crow. The war is over-we
are one nation now, but the thick
skulls of some it seems, will never
be able to comprehend such a situa-
ton, and they will go on yawping
about rebels and federates,
until they are transplated into anoth

There are those who scout at the
idea of President Grant being able
to secnre the nomination for a third
term, but this class does not proper
ly reckon his strength. Aside from
his nomination by Bishop Haven
and the n. E. Church convention
recently held in Boston, he has for
e at work in his interest that are
not to be laughed at but to be fear
ed. In addition to the support of an
army of appointees, who are anxious
for his denomination, the entire Re-
publican party of the South is & unit
for his nomination again. Redfeld,
the well known correspondent of the
Cincinnati Commercial, has been
making extended tours through the
South, and reports the feeling of the
people there to be strongly in favor
of q third term.

TIE s CONGRESS.

The importance, as well as the re-
sponsibility of the present Congress
to the country, andits influence upon
the future of the Democratic party,
cannot be over-estimated. We think
we do not exaggerate or state the
matter too strongly, when we say
that the success of the party in the
great Presidential contest, already
eliciting the earnest attention of the
nation, is in the keeping of the men
who compose this Congress. The
House is a democratic body repre-
senting the great democratic party.
For a number of years We have been
in the minority in the national leg
i~slature, but now the responsibility
rests upon democratic shoulders, and
every action and resolve will be judg-
ed and scanned as representative of
the spirit and purpose of the party.
In the first place, economy in the
national expenditures should be the
watchword of the democratic repre-
s%entatives. 1t will be well for them
to remember that they represent a
people, the masses of whom are borne
down with taxation. We do not de.
sire to see a niggardly economy, but
prudent outstanding of the resources
of the nation should demand the
closest scrutiny into every approprl-
alton BILL With the great business
of the country PROSTATE and palsied,
the tax payers have a right to de-
mand and to expect of their repre-
sentatives that all extravaganza be
stopped. The people are to-day in
profound ignorance as to the manner
in which this government has been
administered during the past fifteen
years. 1t will become the impera.
tive duty of a democratic House o.
Congress to remove this suspense
Investigating committees by the
score have been called into existence
9 by the Radical party, the results o
which have been only to mystify ant
!. to increase the suspense. One o
the first duties of the present Con
gress will be to investigate. Tha
e there have been enormous fraud
: perpetrated in almost every depart
: ment of the government, none deny
e 1t is not asking too much, then, G
the present Congress, to let the ia:
payers know how and by whom tn
revenues of the nation have bee
squandered and stolen. A democrt
tic Congress has it in its power t
disclose facts of the most startlin
e character. VIII they do it? Wi
II they enter into an investigation thu
If will investigate and compel the:
d thieves and robbers of the trcasur
to disgorge their i'll gotten gains
The people are on the alert, and tt
party that now strikes out boldly fl
an economical and honest admi2i
tration of the Government, is the OF
that will be sustained, no matter /
-lrhat uarne1fbi Is knorn.

The prospects are that the present
session of Congress will not be a long
one, as the indications are that an
adjournment will be had ss early as
Nav lst. Should the intention ex-
pressed by leading Democrats to
force great reductions in the appro-
priations bills be carried out, the
Senate will doubtless make a pro-
tracted session by their opposition
The Senate appears willing, however
to make some slight reductions.
