nothing Of the kind. The lowest crimi'

from their own mouths II he can, the
falssnsss Of the accusations. This has
been denied to Secretary Robson. II
he conds sends now. after the insulting
manner in which he has been treated. to
explain the testimony to this honor
able Democratic Committee, he will
simply lower the dignity Of his office.
without ~sffecting any good purpose.
The report will be against him in any
event. and strictly paitisan in its fea-
lures. Let IL be made public. and then
the friends Of the Secretary can como to
the front and expose its ~malignity. But
Mr.. Robesop, to maintain the honor OF
his position, must preserve = diguiisd
silence for the present.

lican majority far greater than that Of
1872. Two years ago popular ssnti-
ment in favor OF Democratic principles
was undoubtedly one Of the elements Of.
our national life. That sentiment, care
fully fed by partisan organs, and nour-
iahed by partisan speeches, gained
ground. and in 1874 q Democratic House
Of Representatives was elected. the mem
bvrs Of which embraced many Of the old
I -Confederates who had fought against
the fhg. and strivsn TO draw the life
blood Of the country. They have been
given q chance to show fruits meet for
repentance; and the fruits which they
have brought forth are now on eIhibi.
ton. They have made a most missra-
bic showing. and in their eager attempts
to ruin Rspublieanism, have in fact laid
the knife to the roots Of Democracy.
Our Democratic House has indeed COM
ia, ..,;.,.., s,,.;a. and N. uo,s In
