What IN Your Duty Z

Gentlemen Of the House, you know
that tho Usurper has subjected himself
to the constitutional ordeal OF impeach-
ment. Your committees have traced his
connection with rings and frauds. You
know that he deserves punishment for
corruption In office. Then why do you
not act Is your inaction not an eva
sion OF your duty toward your wronged
and oppressed constituents

1T is probably expedient To regard
the Liberal element OF to-day as com
prising a class Of voters tolerably we'll
defined In their main convictions and
tendencies, but who differ 80 widely
among themselves as TO details and po-
licies that, while many OF them still
stand aloof from both the old parties,
others have already, II not permanently,
returned TO one or the other, according
to their predominant sympathies. -

The New Hampshire election has
every prospect OF being interesting and
close. Both parties have put excellent
men In the field. Coy. Cheney, whom
the Republicans have nominated, has
made an admirable Governor, and goes
record rs his chief backing. The Hon.
Daniel Marcy, the Democratic nominee,
must be rare man, for the most parti-
san Republican journals find ii impossi-
bic to say anything worse against him
than that he was q peace Democrat
during the war. They say frankly that
his moral character is without blemish,
and that he will call out the full strength
of hls party through his great populari-
ty. From present appearances the open
ing political contest OF the centennial
year will furnish fair test Of the
strength Of the two parties with the
people, N Y. Hcv0M.

NO TIME FOR BLATHER-
SKII,E POLITICIANS.

In temperate article upon the
situation in Congress, the New York
Herald gives ex rression to the views
of the thoughtful people of the coun-
try in expressing the hope that the
wisest and most prudent and conser-
Yative men will take command in
both houses and both parties, and
that they will silence and keep in the
background the noisy and injudi-
cious. The country wants peace
1t sees now all its interests injured,
all its industries PROSTATE, through
dispute of the politicians in the re-
suit of which it has no interest, eX-
cept that this result shall be fairly
come to, and shall not be liable to
suspicious of fraud or wrong OF any
kind.

CONGRESS-.

Congress met on Monday under
circumstances of peculiar gravity. 1t
has in its hands the fearful issue Of
peace OF war. The people want peace.
Under all the heat of political dis
customs among them there lisa strong
current for peace, which can only be
turned in an opposite direction
through the persistent efforts of po-
litical demagogues. Calmness and
moderation should rule the hour and
political partisans should be required
to take back seats in the work of pa
cification. In 1850, when Congress
met, the country was slowly but sure
ly drifting into wal. Far-seeing
men had discovered its approach for
years and in 1860 it was seen to be-
inevitable. Then, however,a feeling
of bitterness ,engendered by sectional
differences OF long standing, had
grown up and the people had fully
prepared themselves for the worse.
Now there is no such spirit among
the people, who are tired Of war and
want peace. A tremendous respon-
sibility rests upon the Forty-fourth
Congress aud every member ought to
fully appreciate it and weigh we'll his
words and actions. The time has
come for the order, Statesmen to
the front and partisans to the resr.n

THE PRESID ENTAIL MUD.
M ~

The Presidential question is still
in q muddle, and likely to remain so
for some time to come. We are for
tunately, done with the returning
boards. They have finished their
work, and declared the three dis
puted States of South Carolina Flor
ida and Louisian for Hayes, giving
him, nominally, the 1S5 electoral
votes necessary for majol ity. But
from all three of these States counter
claims come in behalf of T1lden,
lacking the endorsement of the re-
turning boards and the Governors Of
the respective States.
The matter is still more compli-
Gated by the electoral vote of Oregon.
The Governor of that State has COM
missioned one of the Democratic
electors on the ground of the ineligi-
bility of one Of the Republican cleo
tors. If his vote is counted for Til
den it will elect him, but the Repub-
lican party will naturally make Wig
orous opposition to being counted
out in Oregon, just as the Democrats
will to being counted out in Louisi-
ana. The complicated question is now
precipitated upon Congress, one
branch of which is Republican and
the other Democratic. How to set
tie it short of 4 descent to the Mexi-
can style of politics is a problem that
will task the best men Of the coun-
try. If we have any statesmen
amongst us this complication will
develop them.

THE MESSAGE.

We surrender much of our space
this week to the message Of the Pres
ident of the United States. The doc
ument is most remarkable for what
it does not contain. In view of the
perlls hat now beset the country, it
is probably the tamest document
that ever emenated from the Ex-
ecutive Department. 1t Is COM
mented upon rather favorably by the
press, but the general opinion seems
to be that it is more remarkable for
what it does not than what it does
contain, making no reference to the
exciting political issue now on hand.
It is understood, however, that the
President will treat this matter at
length in "a special message to be sent
to Congress in day or two. That
portion of the message in favor of
basing suffrage upon an educational
qualification as safeguard over The
method of choosing and declaring the
election of President, is certainly
to be commended for its holiness and
frankness upon a subject which few
public men have the courage to
touch.

THE GIST OF THE WHOLE
Ma TIER.

The enormity of the outrage in
South Carolina is more easily under
stood when we remember that the
Soldiery of the United States inter-
fered in matter belonging exclu-
sively to the State. BY the parlia-
mentary law of all civilized nations,
and by the express provisions of the
Federal and State Constitutions,
every House is the sole judge of the
qualifications of its own members.
President Grant and Governor Cham
berlain, cannot be so ignorant of the
English language as not to know
that when the House is the ''sole
Judge" nobody is or can be the judge
The gentlemen who claimed to have
been elected members of the Assem-
bly, from Edgeiield and Laurens
counties, and bore "a certificate of
election from the highest court in
the State, should have been admit ed
to the hall the gentlemen who claim
ed the same seats, and showed cir
tificates from the Board of Canvas
Sers, should also have been admitted.
The House should have been allow
ed peaceably to organize, as it would
have done, and the contested seats
would have been dealt with just as
they are dealt with in all Legislative
bodies. There is nothing revolution
airy, unusual or unjust about this
programme. The organization of
the Legislature would have been eff
fected in accordance with law, and
order and peace would have prevail
cd. Now, there is excitement and
confusion and that there is no out
break is the merit only of the people
Of South Carolina.
Remember that this was wholly a
State matter. 1t had reference only
to the organization Of one branch of
the State Legislature, the other be-
ing already organized and in session.
Its ultimate bearing was only upon
the election of Governor and Lieut.
Governor of South Carolina. The
vote for Presidential electors was not
in question at all, so that there was
no possible peg upon which to hang
a justification of Federal interfer-
ence. Gen. Grant could easily have
a better pretext for marching his
troops into the hall of the House of
Representatives at Washington than
for stationing them at the door of
the State House in Columbia, and ex-
Guiding members-elect or persons
claiming to be members-elect,t though
the outrage would be as great in one
case as the other. Gen. Grant could
not have committed q greater crime

A FRIGHTFUL DISASTER.

A fire broke out in the Brooklyn
N. Y. Theatre Tuesday night last,
which resulted in a terrible loss of
life, there being over three hundred
victims to the disaster. 265
bodies have been recovered. The de-
tails of the horrible disaster are
thrilling in the extreme. This fright
ful calamity, by which upwards of
800 persons were burned to death
shows that with all the attention CIV
en- to the subject the adequate means
of exit from theaters in case of fire
has not been secured even in a city
of the size and wealth Of Brooklyn.

rooms formerly occupied az the Demo-

night, with very fair prospects of success.
The two large windows in the front OF
the building have been handsomely fitted

many valuable presents presented to the
festival, one of which deserves special
mention. We refer to handsome glass
set, artisticslly cut and engraved, consist

which is the gilt of the employees of the
Central Glass Works. Among the most
prominent of the tables were the toy
bazaar, the st. Josephs table and the st.
Patrlck's table, which attracted ones
attention by their handsome decors-

they were arranged. The festival was
well attended last night and the pros
