Democratic Testimony.

Even the more partiZan Democratic
Journals are becoming disgnsted with
the ifnbecility OF the lower housa Of
Congress, and are freely expressing
their contempt. Hear the Burning
ton Gasette, the leading opposition
paper Of Iowa:
Taken as a whole the Lower House of to-day
does not average Ia point of intellect and IN
ability To conduct the business afsits Of the
country. higher than that Of any State iegisla-
tune Whist il their business as We see IL day after
day Attending 10 nece-sary legislation for the
comfort and relief OF the country not bit of it.
Party Interests engr,.ss their entire attention.
The one side To uncover The viiiainy Of the other
and The other 60 prevent il BY counter charge
and brasea perjury. The Democrats arr insesti-
eating ff.s .es tfsgs,e ra.eatiiy of Republican
ex Speaker. while the Republicans, TO get even,
are securing the siums of New York to get men
10 swear away the reputation and character OF
the Democratic speaker
That this may reject upon the Democratic par
ty who are IN the majority in the Lower House,
does no, change the matter any. We can afford
10 tell the truth, for party % succeed must go
forward 20 its mission and fear nothing bat evil
Horatio Seymour spoke truly
when he said that the Republican party had lost
the confidence of the country, ana the Demo
cratic party had not gained It,
Too many men in that House who
are ex rebels TO accomplish anything
for the good of the country as a
Whole. They prefer working for the
ascendency Of the slumbering Con-
federacy. If the Gazette wants good
work done ii had better throw its
influence on the Republican side and
work and vote for the election Of n
Republican House again.

a ruinor has reached this country
that all the Fenian prisoners cOnfin.
ed In Western Australia have es-
caped in an American whaling ship.
The New York Herald learns from
an Irish-American nationalist that
the rescue of these prisoners las been
In contemplation for four years, and
that their escape WAS probably ef-
fected two months ago. Asa signal
that tho plans agreed upon were sue
cessful the Australian cable was to
bo cut. Connection between the
inland and the continent having
been broken about that long since
leads him to think Ii was the notice
agreed upon. The details OF the plot
the inforiner declines to make pub
lie ut present.
