ManSlaughter in Politics.

! No man may aspire to a high place in
| politics nowadays save ut the risk of his
| life. We have outgrown the primitive
methods of fighting for power. Candi-
dates do not tlv at one another with lance
and battle-ax. nor look for opportunity to
thrust Il poni;lrd into Il rivals back; even
the duelist's pistol. the bludgeon and the
fist have gone out Of fashion rs the weap-
onS Of a campaign. But the ambitious
man must be rs we'll prepared to face dam
ger in our time rs in the eras of faction ri
OTIS and party wars and political ,sassina-
tons. If he has a proud and sensitive
>pirit-:ni even candidates for the Pres-
doncv are sometimes men of delicate feel
ing and fine nervous organization-th
chances are that he will be subject to at
tacks that kill quicker than the dagger or
the sword His good name which he has
cherished all his life rs the most precious
Of his possessions. Will be taken from him.
His virtuous deeds will be travcstied and

himself happy if even his grave be not dis

The Tildenites i'm the House.

The Tildenites in,the House manifested
on the first day of the session the spirit
which animates them. First and last their
every effort for the day was in the interest
of Mr.. Tilden. Randall was elected
Speaker because Mr.. Tilden thought he
would serve his purpose best. Then the
member elect from Colorado was refused
admission to seat, as part of the pro-
gramme to cut off the vote of that State
fos Hayes under the assumption that it is
not yet fully admitted 10 the Union, al
though the. President several months since
issued his proclamation declaring COlora-
do State in the Union. What trick, de
vice, fraud, corruption, or scheme OF vio-
lence the Tilden men have left untried to
push him into the Presidential chair it
would be difficult to tell. This last attempt
to cast State out of the Union in order
to elect Tilden. IS an example of the fair
ness and justice of the Tildentes in the
House on the Presidential question an
example worthy to be classed with the
bloody and nefarious measures carried out
in the South to secure the election of the
democratic candidate for President. Let
the good sense OF the country take ,tce
of this act.

CLAIMS AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT,
The failure to make the small appropriation
asked for by the Secretary to enable him TO con-
tinue the examination of the records of captured
property and confederate archives in his custody.
for information for use in the defence of the Gov
eminent against improper claims, has greatly i'm
peded that service.
The slight examination that it has been possi-
Bile to make of those records and archives in con
necton with the private relief bills presented To
Congress at its last session, involving about five
millions OF dollars, leads TO the conclusion that
they contain much valuable information which
should DO sought for and furnished to the several
commltaees to which such bills have been re-
ierred. 1t is respectfully submitted that an sde-
quate appropriation should be made for this pur-
pose.
