Democrats everywhere are reminding Jen
Davis that he has not been tried for treason
or conspiracy against the United States
that he il at liberty and enjoys, like Gov
amor Hendricks, the full privilege OF visit

NEARLY AN EVEN THING.

There appears to be great cry and little
wool around the State House. The Dem
ocrats accuse the Republicans of barricad-
ing and filling the State House with po-
lice, while the latter in turn accuse their
adversaries of an Unsuitable desire to i'm
peach somebody and swear in extra SER
geants-at-armsf for the House. Fortunately
the two parties are too nearly balanced in
strength to render it probable either can
annihilate the other, and we are likely to
see peaceable close to the present ses-
sion.

SENATOR BRUCE HEARS FROM THE
SOUTH.

SENATOR BRUCE HEARS FROM THI
A Washington special of the fourteenth
says:
The colored Senator Bruce is fairly over
whelmed by letters and kilograms which
have been received by him in large num-
bers from all parts of the South, remonstrat'
ing against his conduct in utteriDg strict
ures against the President and the Repub-
licsn party, as indicated in the published
reports of his recent speech in a secret
session of the Senate. Bruce is very uu-
happy about the matter: He deems him
self precluded from rising to explain,
because he believes that by his oath not to
divulge the secrets of executive session he
is prevented from stating just what he did
or did not say, but he makes the broad as
serti0n that he has been enormously quoted
IN all the reports which purported to give
the substance of what he said about Grant
the other day. Other gentlemen say, how
ever, that although some of the reports
are very inaccurate ~ to detail, they were
generally correct in substance.
While we have no doubt that the Dem
ocratic reporters have greatly exaggerated
what Senator Bruce said, it is more than
likely that he really was sufficiently in
discreet to warrant them in saying that
he kicked out of the party traces. Mr..
Bruce is but new beginner in statesman
ship, and something should be allowed
for inexperience. 1t is not at all necessary
that he should tell US now what he &C.
tually said in executive session. When
the occasion shall come, let him say what
he ought to have said, and stick to it. He
has yet some four of five years of SEN
atorial life before him, unless the Dem
ocrats, of whom he appears to be SO fond
all of a sudden, shall obtain a two
thirds majority in the meantime, and
expel him. He may thank himself for
having postponed the admission of Sen
ator Pinchback, and if the postponement
is indefinite, it is no more than he ought
to expect. So much for excess of zeal.

THE HOUSE REPORT ON POLICE AFFAIRS

The report of the House special COM
mittee to investigate the affairs of the
Metropolitan Police is full of allegations
Of wrongful acts on the part Of the COM
missioner The testimony upon which
the conclusions Of Messrs. Dupre and
Hammond are based has not yet been
made public, though the House has Or
dered that it be printed in pamphlet form.
There can be no doubt that the committee
found very much that is blameworthy in
the conduct Of the police officials, though
we are informed that some of the evidence
conflicts On material points, and that the
committee have not put fair construc-
ton upon the statements of one or two
of the witnesses; yet, after allowing rea-
sonable margin for inaccuracies and
striking fair balance, more than enough
remains on the wrong side. There is but
one good defense that we can see which
the commission ers can set up, and that is
to deny and d.sprove as many of these
damaging allegations as possible. The
chief charges against the board are:
l. That at least one-third of the men
whose names a'e borne on the pay roll
are, in the opinion Of the Superintendent,
quite useless.
2. That the lperintendenti is allowed
I'LL 60
vice fund, and the commissioners four
teen hundred year for the same pur-
pose. And these sums are expended en-
tirely at the discretion Of the individuals
to whom they are allotted. No account
is rendered or l'quired Of the money ac-
tua1ly used, or the services which it is
alleged are thus paid for.
3. Gambling institutions thrive, not
outstanding the hostile resolutions of
the Police Board. The existence of open
and UNPUBLISHED crime, and police force
in the same small locality, is inconsistent
with any idea Of faithful service.
There are other matters complained of,
some of which may be satisfactorily ex-
planned, and others of no great conse-
quence. But the three set forth above are
serious, and not detensible except by
positive denial and disproof.
There is an apparently ingenious at
tempt to connect Governor Kellogg with
the transactions of the Police Board, as
though he were in some way its ruling
genius. Those who make such charge
must first pass over the heads of the COM
missioners as being wanting in manhood
and regard for their reputation and oaths
of Office. The danger of being removed
from Office in the event Of doing what an
officer deems to be right, is no plea in bar
to an action for wrong. The committee
itself exonerates the Governor from any
responsibility finally by saying that he has
no power to remove a commissioner.
This position seems to US to be inconsis-
tent with any theory Of the responsibility
of the Governor for the acts of appointees.
But as in time of great epidemic all dis
eases run into the prevailing malady, so
now the panacea for all Democratic ills is

ton. Mr. Hunter himself sees this fact
and says: ....
Not 90 with the South. Not only did she
lavish her territory without looking to
proper securities for fair share of future
power in tho government, but neglected to
secure inst share Of appropriations for her
the results Of such neglect, nor can We A.
ford to continue it. For one l say not.
AS corollary MI. Hunter would now
vote for the Pacific railroad.
The further aid which the North re-
ceived was from the rejection Of federal
money, which lay for years in the treas
ury to the credit of States that refused to
receive it; in the obstruction of Southern
ports which would not apply for the
means to remove. Above all, in applying
this doctrine of opposition to public aid
for public improvement under which the
party of Mr.. Hunter refused to permit the
development Of any way of COM
manication between Southern ports and
Western communities, which left Balti-
more the exclusive connection, which
divided Mr.. Hunters State, and repealed
from Alabama any means of developing
her extraordinary coal mines and lum-
Der forests. The same medieval process
| denounced commerce and manufacture
lures, and so placed the Southern States
on dependence on the industries of the
North and Europe, which was utterly
fatal to any pretensions of Independence.
The abandonment of opposition to fed
eral improvements within the States by
our Democratic statesmen; the acknowl-
edgment of federal sovereignty, even as to
its foreign relations, by another; the re-
cent declaration of the Democratic Will
liam Allen that the specie basis is bar
rem ideality; the known antagonism in the
national Democratic party, all prove the
dissolution and liquidation Of the Demo-
cratic party.
So far as the change in opinion of this
great leader of abstract opinion shall go
to allow all the States participation in
the legitimate developments of the Union,
we accept it with pleasure. As a means
OF reviving the ancient divisions Of the
Union, it is failure. The power which |
Mr.. Hunter had invoked has obliterated |
the line of Mason and Dixon, as it has re-
pealed the resolutions of 1889 The |
alliance of the South was destroyed by |
the fact of emancipation. The Southern
Atlantic ports are now in commercial
alliance with the productive States of the
West. Norfolk connects with Memphis,
Louisville and Cincinnati. Baltimore
strikes for Cincinnati, St. Louis and
Chicago. The League of the South
is no more. The sceptre has passed
from the Eastern States as we'll as
from the Southern Atlantic. 1t must be
On the nationality of system that any
State can participate in the advantages of
he Union, for if Mr.. Hunter exposes a
sectional object in asking federal aid,
loes he not suppose those who represent
sections will oppose them for
he same reason? Mr.. Hunter should
hen accept nationality as the best means
If restoring the Southern prosperity
trough the mutual agencies Of whose po-
itical values he seems for the first time to
lave become fully conscious.

small majority in the North. which. care.
fully nursed by that section, and reckless
" increased by lavish concessions OF terri
tory Oh the part of the South, has grown
now behold.
Mr.. Hunter has only in part presented
the mode in which this was effected:
Carefully and eagerly did the North look
to this, and wisely, looking only to her own
ACKNOWLEDGMENT, did che turn the fructify-
ing stream of appropriation mainly within
her own borders, or those of States which
she meant to bind to herself by Interests
and common pursuits.
We repeat, the concession of territory
did not fix the affiliations" of the in
habitants, nor was it the 'fructifying
stream of appropriations" It consisted
in the State and federal improvements, in
the New York and Erie canal, in the gift
of public lands for canals, railroads and
schools, and in the homestead law of Mr..
Seward. Population thus furnished with
the means of movement and the attrac-
tons of free home tended to the habita-
ton of those lands which Virginia had
bestowed, or which the nation had pur-
chased from France, Spain and Mex
leo. The North received principal
aid in this policy. 1t consisted in the
total ebnegation of any of these incidental
benefits by the South. In hostility to
the present doctrine of Mr.. Hunter which
forbade the construction of way, or the
improvement Of port, the South even
turned over to the North the carrying
trade of its exported products, so that
the vessel which carried out cotton
brought back free soil immigrants, to be
sent through Northern ports, to Western
