The Democratic press are declaring
that the prospect OF q deadlock bo-
tween the two Houses Of Congress
on appropriation bills is daily In
creasing. The Keokuk Constitution
makes this assertion and adds:
1.-THE Democratic house In determin-
ed that the public expenditures shall
be reduced, and the Republican SEN
ate Is Just as determined that there
shall be no reduction. The issue In q
plain and simple one, which people
can easily comprehend"
This is only mild sample of the
contemplate falsehoods by which
the Democratic press Of the country
persistentIy deceive their readers In
the frantic endeavor TO force upon
the country the absurd belief that
Democrats are all honest, and the
Democratic party oil purity, and
that there is no possibility Of reform,
or honest and econimical administra-
ton In town, county, state or nation
except through the operations OF the
Democratic machine; that there 10
no honest motive or impulse In the
head or heart Of any man who may
happen TO enjoy or aspire to official
trust or prominence, Unless he choos-
es to train In the Democratic ranks.
The Ottumwa Courier quotes the
Constitution's assertion, a. given
above, and fittingly says:
"rhe above 10 very unfair and
very untruthful statement. Ono
chief difference between the Senate
and House is upon the expenditures
In the diplomatic service, and in re-
gard To which some Of the Demo
cratic Senators voted with the Re-
publicans In disagreeing with the
House bill. II Il designediy An nn-
truthful statement ~ say that Vie
Republicans are opposed To any re-
duction In public expenditures, for
the Republican Senate has agreed ~
reduction wherever IL WAS thought
consistent with the good OF the pub
lie service"

guard detailed To shoot him, whis-

The Louisville Co,Tier-Jotundl,
the leading Democratic paper of the
South, recently published four
column editorial argument in favor
Of Mr.. Bristow as the Republican
nominee for President. Such en-
dprsment will certainly do Mr.. Bris-
tow no good; and henceforward he
may be counted out unless he
can secure the Democratic nomina-
tion at st. Louis. AS the New York
Herald recently said, referring to Mr..
Bristow's candidacy, "The Republi-
cans, at least the radical wing OF
them, have had Johnsonism enough
"a last for a generation or two."

Referring to the Presidential cam
didacy of Mr. Bristow and his en-
dorsement by the Kentucky Bour-
bons and their organ, the Louisville
Courier Journal, the New York
Herald says:
There Is large element In the
Republican party composed OF those
stern, sincere men who believe the
wnr was a dispensation Of Gods
providence for the abolition OF sla.
very; who pressed forward the: im-
peachment OF Andrew johnson, and
who will not take candidate whose
indorsers are Beck and Stevenson, Of
Kentucky, and the Louisville Co,T-
ter-Jo,unal. The Republicans, at
least the Radical wing Of them, have
had enough OF Johnsonism to last for
a generation or two. Without this
wing the Republicans will be as
helpless as the Democratic party
would be without its rebel wing.
There are two classes that must not be
left out of political calculations--the
abolitionists and the rebels. The
Republican party depends upon the
one, the Democrats upon the other.
Each Of these classes embraces men
G5eourage. principle, and ability.
One side fought ta save slavery, the
other to destroy 1t. They would
fight the battle over again to-mor-
row IL the same conditions existed.
To expect either party to be run
without them would be to expect
man to live without his spinal
column. The "reformers," the
saints, the trufiie hogs, the old maids,
the dandies, and all the modern
brood Of politicians may plane aud
chip aud sand paper the platform az
much as they please; but unless they
make a platform and q candidate
that will satisfy these two vast, sin
cere, and preponderating elements,
neither will get on. Nothing, there
fore, will do Bristow more harm
than the Support" he Is now receiv-
ing from Kentucky.

No PriVateers.

It was telegraphed from Europe the other day that some Amer cans had already made application to the Russian for letters of marque, and were prepared to fit out armed cruisers to prey on British commerce as soon as war should be declared. There is no doubt that if privateers could be accept ed by Russia the seas might swarm with most efficient and well-armed craft that would do great harm in English com merce in case there should be war be- tween the two countries, and England would find he whole navy so occupied with the war proper that she could do quite as little to pursue privateers as our government did when cruisers against our commerce issued from Brit ish ports. But England and Russia are not yet at war, and if war should artual- ly ensue there will be 10 privateer$, as the contemplating Amercians in Russia have doubtless already learned. Priva- teering is abolished by the law of Europe. and Russia is one of the nations whose accredited representatives signed the declaration abolishing it April 16,
 1856. There is only very slight chance that enterprise will have great field ill that direction. The abolition of priva- teering is one of four points agreed upon by the Powers as having common ob- ligation and if one of these points is violated by any power it's enemy would be released from the others. These are-that neutral flag covers an ene- my's goods, except contraband ot war 1; that neutral goods, with the same ex- ception, are free in an enemy's ship, and that blockades must be effective. These are points through which an ar rogant commander of an armed ship might upset the whole agreement be- tween governments, and it Is not i'm probable that an offensive violation of any one of these would lead to resort to privateering. The three rules of the Alabama treaty bind our government to
 do it's utmost to prevent the use of
 American ports for the equipment of
 privateers but our government might
 prove as little ablo to wrestle with this
 difficulty as other governments have
 been.-NeaV York Herald.

A Strange Story.

The New York papers contain shock in story of the incarceration of delicate woman in madhouse and her brutal treatment there. The story is co oGrte, but, if it is true one, the persons who countenanced such an outrage should be attended tu without delay. It seems incredible, however, thst sane woman could receive the treatment in Bellevue hospital which this story implies, it is to the effect that a lady, walking down Broadway, suddenly missed valuable shawl which sine had been carrying, and, as it had been present from her de- ceased husband, its loss produced such an effect that she tainted in the street. She was picked up by policeman, con veyed to Bellevue hospital, consigned to cell, and to the tender care of Q nurse who beat and knocked her down and tore valuable jowelry from her. After remaining in this place for some time, she was taken to Wards island, md, although the physician in charge at once pronounced her sane, he made no efforts to acquaint her friends with her whereabouts. This is very serious charge as it stands, and what gives { shade of probability to it is the fact that the lady was surrendered to her friends as soon as she was found. It may be that she is mad, and it would be to the credit of the officers of the city if she was but if the circumstances are as related, some effort should have been made to find her friends, and rone ap- pears to. If an excitable, hysterical woman, overcome in the streets, is to be dragged eff to @ lunatic asylum by an ignorant policeman, and there neglected by the officers in charge, we have cer- tainly reached pretty state of affairs. For the credit of the city it is to be hoped a different complexion will be put on this case.
