ring and dislike (real or feigned) for it,
has laid him open TO the suspicion of
Republican tendencies, and made him
unpopular with his party.
The irrecOncilable views and cOnSe-
quent bitterness existing relative to
the finances threatens Democracy with
the fate that overlook their prototypes
on the plain of Shinar, and on the least
provocatiOn TO rend it into fragments
and blow them to the "demOnitiOn
bow vows" The danger imminent :;
and the recent correspondence between
Mr.. Mead and Mr.. Lamar who is
charged with ignoring New York iD
his appointment of a caucus committee
is ominuuS and surface indication Of
the volcanic fires beneath their feet.
Perhaps David had them in view when
he fOretOld the end of the wicked. The
report of the emissary sent to New
Hampshire to ascertain the effect OF
HIPS arraignment of the Government
and its defenders, the coming elections
in that State, and Conn has served to
give us quiet week; but so soon as the
appropriation bills, now engaging the
attention of the House are disposed of
aud matters more Immediately politi-
cal in their bearing shall come up for
consideration up the latent fire in the
Southern heart will assert itself. Le-
Ultimate legislation has made but little
progress in the House during the week:
and the various Investigations promise
to be as barren OF fruit lis the Babcock
trial was devoid of advantages to the
rebel Democracy. Almost three
months since Congress met and ali Its
work accomplished could have been
done in three weeks without fatigue !;
but that party is so surrounded and
environed by the quick sands and pit
falls of its past record that every step
out of the ordinary track is taken with
many misgiVings and much reluctance.
Their bOaSted aggressive mission died
almost before its birth, of the ponder
Gus blows administered by Blaine and
Garfield. Nothing could be more sig
nifcant of thefr distress than their pit
ifrl and deprecating manner toward
the minority. The "tidal wave" which
swept such flood of the debris of the
rebellion into the House was the acme
of their misfortuneS. That there is a
gradual and healthy reaction from the
business prOstration of the Fast two
years, appears proven by the concur
rent testimony from all the business
centres of the country and just enough
wise legislation to settle the relations
between Our national currency and the
gold standard of the commercial world
is all that is needed to tempt timid
capital from its hiding places into the
channels of trade. Foreign news of the
week is devoid of any special interest.

THE Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western Railroad Company has decid-
ed on narrowing the gauge of its roads.
The change of grade will take effect on
600 miles of railroad and will necessi-
tate taking apart 1900 coal cars and
of ali the trucks of the pas
senger cars now in use. The first work
of the company will be to build 1900
new coal and freight cars suited to the
gauge. This will supply the narrow
gauge road with rolling5tock while the
old cars are being taken apart. Practi-
cal railroad mer say the change will
save the company thirty per cent.

TheAcquitfaI of General Babcock

The country is to be most heartily
congratulated on the acquittal of Gen.
Babcock. 1t would have been an al
most intolerable modification to every
patriotic American If the private Sec
retary of the President of the United
States had been found guilty of con-
spiracy TO defraud the revenue, and
none will be more sincerely glad that
we have escaped this shame than those
who are politically opposed to the pres
ent Administration. The indictment
has been submitted to the seyerest
legal tests. No one can complain that
The court was biased in Gen. Babcock's )
favor, or that the prosecution was in
Efficient, or that the jury were prepos-
sessed. There are some points upon
which the evidence ought to have been
fuller, but it has been an eminentlv
fair trial, ending in a satisfactory re-
suit. The gnilt Of the great Whisky
Conspiracy has blasted hundreds of
homes, ruined fair regulations, and
day by day fresh evideIce of itS enor.
inous extent has come to light, until
amen have been tempted TO believe that
40 officer of the Government came
within its reach without being corrupt-
ed. But at the entrance of the White
House the scandal has been met and
aurned back. Thank heaven the taint
does not go that far.-[N. ]. Tribune.

SOME very interesting statistics of the
nativity of the members of the Forty
fourth Congress have been complied by
the Washington Chronicle. OF the two
hundred and ninety-three members of
the House of Representatives, only
fifty-two were born in the districts they
represent. All the Senators and Rep
resenative5 from the States CT Iowa,
Kansas, California, Minnesota, Nebras-
ka and Oregon are 'carpet-baggers. "
Wilson's in has but one native Repre-
sentative, and the large State of Illi-
nois, with nineteen districts, has but
two. New Jersey, TenneSse, Pennsyl-
vania, North Carolina and Georgia send
none but natives. The South has eight
of her Democratic sons representing
districts in the Northern States, while
the North sends ten Republicans and
six Democrats from the South. New
York has fifty-four natives in Congress
and supplies the State of Nebraska
with her whole delegation.

THE new military bill presented to
the House, and likely to become law,
proposes the consolidation of the staff
corps of the Quartermaster and Com
lnissary Departments, the abolishment
of regimental organizations of artillery,
increases the pay of First Sergeants,
thus opening the way for promotion
from non-commissioned to commits
stoned officers, provides a board to ex
anime and muster out all inefficient Of
ticers, reduces the number of aid-de-
camp to the General of the army fifteen,
reduces two cavalry regiments and two
artillery regiments by consolidating
them with depleted regiments, and al
together looks to the saving to the gov.
eminent of more than three and one
half million dollars per annum, at the
same time adding to the efficiency OF
the service.

STILL the Democratic party, which
desires to get control of the govern
ment, and has control of the lower
branch OF Congress, can not agree upon
policy in regard 70 any leading ques-
ton. 1t could, however, if it felt free
to speak its true inwardness, pass res
nolutio by very large majority declar.
ing the war far the Union wrong in its
inception, outrageous in its prosecution,
and that the loyal people of the North
should ask forgiveness of the Confeder-
ate patriots. This would move the
Democratic heart.

AN impeachment wave is sweeping
over the Southern States. Whenever
the Legislature of any State encounters
u person in public Office of politics con-
trary to his own, it straightway pro-
ceeds to impeach him "of high crimes
and misdemeanors." Gov. Ames, of
Mississippi, and Gov. Kellogg, of Lou
isiaua, were thus proceeded against on
Friday. Impeachment is a safe and
convenient method of disposing of po-
litical antagonists, and is therefore to
be preferred to pistols and revolution.
If the White Liners of Louisiana and
Mississippi will only take it out in i'm
peaching, and suspend their pistol prac-
tice for time upon the poor negroes
and Yankee schoolmasters, Southern
politics" will be improved.

THE correspondence between Secre-
tary Fish and Gen. Schenck in refer
ence to the Emma Mine transaction,
was laid before the House on Friday.
The Secretary of State is firmly con-
WINGED that Gen. Schenck was guilty
of no wrong purpose in connecting
himself with the company, and was
actually loser thereby. The Secretary
further assures the House Committee
on Foreign Affairs that the reflections
upon Gen. Schenck in relation 70 the
Machado claims are unjust ami without
foundation.

and goes on to say: No combination

victory for the Democratic party on a

platform. The success of the Democrat

nomination at st. Louis, June q, of a

THE United Presbyterian discusses
the taxation of church property, and
makes an argument against that prop.
osition. It holds that inasmuch as the
churches are not erected for pecuniary
profit, and inasmuch as they save the
State large sums annually by restrain

be burdened by taxation, but fostered
and strengthened.
