THE eREy's ON DECK AGAIN.
The author Of 1t says 1t was suggested
on hearing of the election OF Mr.. Stuart
as Postmaster OF the House. AS 1t Is
amusing and characteristic, / append il
for the ediflcation OF the readers of the
DEMOCRAT.
Why. bless my heart. say, look hyar jim.
When did you gilt TO town.
Dggon " ain't glad. old boy,
To SEQ you come, sit down,
And well have q talk Of the ole, ole time.
:. And Of the BATTLES not fought IN vain.
For the tide has turned the Yanks are ruined,
And tie Grey's on deck again
IT'S many day since we last met.
In the trench near the old mud fort
Where we oftimes piled the Yanks up high

Yes, they scooped us In mt the end. know.
Though II went against our grain:
But the tide has turned, the Ynnks are ruined
And the Grey's on deck again.
Who do you think that seed this morn.
As / walked down tho Avenoo,
But old Ben slmms.-you knew him we'll

And he said as how we were fixed. BY Jing

THE REAssEMBLING or CONGRESS.
Already large number of ftCongress-
men have returned to Washington, and
tomorrow "Wednesday work will be-
gin in good earnest. During the recess
some Of the committees have been at
work, and are prepared TO submit to the
House several important questions for
its consideration. Mcssrs. Morrison.
Randall and Cox will, by the action Of
their various committees, develop at an
early day the policy Of the party for
the present session. In view OF the
APPROACHING PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION,
and the great desire to strengthen the
Democratic party before the country,
by course Of rigid economy and re-.
trenchinont, IL is very questionable now
whether either the Mississippi Ieyees or
the Southern Pacific Railroad will re-
ceive the appropriations their friends
had hoped to obtain Policy may
prompt u majority Of the Democratic
members to delay action on these high
ly important measures TO us until after
the Presidential election. The national
interests Of u few Southern States are
deemed subordinate to the greater
Of tho redemption Of the
National Government by the Democrat
ic party. AS this seems 10 be generally
accepted, our long suffering people
must exercise still more patience and
look TO the next session OF Congress for
relief.
An important feature Of the present
House will be the
APPOINTMENT or INVESTIGATING COMMIT
TEES,
for the purpose OF fcrreting out and ex-
posing the various corruptions and
frauds that have been perpetratcd by
many Of the departments Of the Gov

Columbia afford an ample field for sue

which will be made will make the coun-
Try stand aghast. The administration

,cs of the Republican party towards the
gnorant and over-contiding negroes Of

Gully they have been dealt with and

Senator Morton il is said will press

IF committee whose duty 1t will be to
valve on high "the bloody shirt"
Their isl manifest disposition, however,
IN the part Of number Of Republican
senator's, to avoid this measure, and il
he blood-thirsty Morton cannot be in
Iuced to forego his motion, it will be
'oted down by the votes OF his party.
THE EVERLASTING PINCHBACN

hat the Senate can be induced TO swal-

Vests influence, what little he pos
essed, has greatly diminished since
he air OF Washington has been
He'd with the many rumors
I his connection with whisky
