THE DEMOCRATS IN PURSUIT OF COR
RUPTION

IdE U6WUCkAIS In PURSUIT. VI CUR-
RUPTION.
After lively chase of half a year after
official corruption, the Democrats ought
to be able to show at least one proved
case. They have had from twenty to
thirty congressional committees in session
at time in Washington, eagerly listen
ing to all the irresponsible tale bearers
whom the offer of mileage and per diem
and the contingent prospect of coming
into something handsome have tempted
to visit the capital And yet that eager
party has not been able to boast of having
found even probable case. 1t does not
result from modesty on the part of those
intrusted with the work of dirt throwing,
for the name of nearly every prominent
Republican in the land, from the Presi-
dent down to an obscure Congressman,
has been freely used in connection with
alleged disreputable transactions, which
it appears to be impossible to substan-
tiate by any sort of proof. The work of
the session has resulted in presenting
one unofficial person (Belknap) to the
Senate for impeachment, and the illegal
imprisonment of one witness (Kilbourn),
by the House. But from this deprivation
of his liberty without due process of law,
he was promptly relieved by the courts,
and the House stands before the country
as rebuked usurper, would-be tyrant,
with all the disposition to Cypress, but
fortunately without the power. There is
no doubt that q large number of the petty
country lawyers in the House would pre-
sent articles of impeachment against
Judge Cartier, were they not restrained
by the better informed men at the top,
who dare not push their partisan warfare
to such an extent. They begin to see
that they have brought contempt enough
on Congress already, and would no doubt
be glad if they could dismiss their investi-
eating committees, pack their willing
witnesses off into the obscurity from
which they have recently emerged and
stop the immense drain on the treasury
to pay for the army of spies. But such
confession of failure would be fatal to the
future chances of success for the Demo-
cratic ticket in certain Northern constitu-
ences, where voters occasionally show
little independence Of spirit and refuse to
obey the orders of their leaders when
they are too absurd.
If the Democracy in Congress had
been employed to demonstrate their
incapacity to administer the gov
eminent, they could not have done
it better than they have by wasting al
most whole session in chasing up ru-
mors which have no basis in truth. Their
Investigations have become greater bores
than the Beecher trial, and as great fail
ures. As hong as the Democracy are con-
tent to thus wear themselves out, we sup
pose the country ought to be satisfied, es-
pecially as there is prospect that we
shall be rid of them all the sooner

Thus according to the above
Hayes is our new President. The
only States that are in doubt are
South Carolina and Louisiana,
which States the Democrats claim
for Tilden. But as yet the official
vote has been announced, CON
sequently chances favor Hayes,
but still the thing is not certain.
Prominent men Of both parties
from the North have been invited
and are now investigating mat
ters in those States, in order that
there may be a fair count, and all
parties Satisfied. President Grant
has expressed his determination
on seeing a fair count and conse-
quently it will be had at all haz-
ards. A fair count is what the
Republicans. base their hopes on
for every one knows that those
States are largely Republican if
there was a fair election. There
are in those States two negroes
to one white man, and tits as nat
ural for a negro TO be a Republi-
can as it is for an Irishn9an to be.
a Democrat. Therefore if there
was a fair vote, South Caralina,
Florida and Louisiana have cast
their electoral votes for the Re
publican ticket, elccting Hayes
and Wheeler by one vote.
