THE COUSTER-REyOLUTION.
TO rwENrY-rwo.

In the present House OF Representatives
there are sixty officers and soldiers who serv-
ed in the Confederate army, and twenty-five
Union officers and soldiers. Nelcgpdper.
The cloud of senseless hate hath passed,
The stormy sky is clearing;
Above us shines serene at last
The bow of promise cheeringi
The vulgar. spiteful voice is hushad,
The cry for vengeance hateful:
The nation once so nearly crushed
Magnanimous grows, and GRATEFUL
The fatted calves are freely slain,
The nations true love telling!
Sweet incense, to allay their pain,
Each Rebel nose is smelling!
To prove she cannot carry hate
Beyond the bounds of reason,
The nation opens every gate
And kindly welcomes treason!
She shrewdly asks no sacrifice,
But, graciously relenting,
Proclaims the policy unwlse
To insist on much repentng;
And so, to prove how very fair
She would distribute fsvors,
As three to one destroyers share
Her honors with her savers!
The problem of the War has found
This wonderful solution:
That statesmen are the nearest sound
Who led in revolution;
That those who in the foremost van
Fought to obscure her glory
Are Just the men to wisely plan
And shape her future story!
On every lip is found the sneer
About played-Out war-speeches;
They've grown as odious to hear
As old-time Kansas 'sscreechesr;
The public voice pronounces ban
Or girds its stinging Gordon
OF censures around Sheridan,
But puts sweet faith in Gordon!
If aught were needed, this will show,
Beyond all doubt or cayil,
Thst'tis the Rebel chiefs who know
The best way to unravel
The snaris that hold the land in thran =
"A secret worth inditing:
Let Rebs in peace recover all
They lost by foolish fighting"

the committeeman would gladly
have disappeared through rat-hole
OF any other aperture, if be could
have done SO.
The committee, strange TO say, In
vited this evidence, and cannot get
out of it now. They must take it or
retire as towards. Mr.. Davenport
did not open the ball, and now that
they are half way in it they must 90
on with this ''small 'boyh-and it
may be said that every batch of evi-
dence he gives them is like a croton
oil poultice 10 the Democratic body.
There was an amusing attempt of
a prominent Democrat in the COM
mittee room on Saturday. to state the
position of things there. The fol-
lowing dialogue took place:
"What did you bring this fellow
here for?''a a
''To prove the Presidents COM
plicity with him"
''Did you prove it?"
swell, no; he testified to the con-
trary and let Grant out"
"Why don't you send him away,
then2"
Because we Want to prove that
he used his Office to elect Republi-
cans, and the trouble is that if we
ask the id fellow that question he
will say, sYes, certainly l did,"
swell, suppose he does. Why
don't you let him answer, and roast
him?''
because the little devil has got
the boys down fine, snd will ruin us
in New York State if we let him tell
what he knows"
"Why, are not the frauds in New
York on the Republican slider"
"Well, | don't know so much
about that; wish they were."
"Why don't you, with seven or
eight men against one, crowd him
into a corner and puzzle him with
cross-questions?"
'sThe trouble is-well, don't ask
so many questions-we must get rid
of this d-d FELLOW somehow; ! don't
think he's a profitable witness"
Now, you won't let it go to the
country that we are afraid of him,
will you?"
"Well, what are we going to do
about it? We got him into this thing
and we got more than we bargain
ed for. Look at that pile of books
and papers. The fellow has three
hundred fraudulent naturalization
papers there, with the bona Jfde sig
nature of a prominent Democratic
Judge to them. He has New York
city down finer than any man in the
country has town of two thousand
inhabitants. He knows the political
status and business habits of every
voter in New York city; and has the
data whereby he can tell you who
lives on the third floor of any house
in the city, has the portrait and res
idence and history of every convict,
and is a regular 'Snarleyow' in gen
eral. We must choke him off, OF be
may ruin Democratic candidates
and Democrat ofiee-holders."

% The Committee on Expenditures
in the Department of Justice picked
John Davenport up for small boy
and has found red-hot stove. The
precoeity of this thirty-three year
old infant is something extraordina-
ry in child. The members, one
after another, assail him with ques-
tions, and as soon as they are an.

nien was not preiudiced against
them. It may be said authoritative
ly that Mr.. Davenport is not preju-
diced against the members of the
committee, and that he likes them,
because they ask questions as though
intending that the whole truth shall
be elected, and he intends to tell it,
no matter how long it takes the
committee to find it out, or how
many Democratic politicians are
''pat in their little bed" A member
of the committee on Saturday, saw
ed the air with his hands and knit
his brows, while Davenport stood
leaning against the mantel-piece-
smoking cigar, and squared him
self for an attack on the ''infant." "
The Democratic point was to prove
that Davenport had arrested men at
the polls for illegal voting when he
had no regular warrant to do so: The
inquirer squatted himself comtorta-
bly, and kept derisive smile on his
face, while Davenport answered that
he had done so and would do so
again. This was considered tri-
umph, and the committee man was
grimly satisfied. lie made bold to

Both of these adventures seem persistently

THE Democrats are endeavoring to Sc
cure the German vote and are using every
artifice to attain that end. The German
citizens should remember one thing. Ii
the Democratic party succeeds, no matter
what figure-hea they use, the country
will be controlled by the Southern Democ'
racy. 1t does notrequire q very long mem
ory to remember with whom these Demo
crats sympathized in the FrancoPrussian
war. Every prominent Democrat in the
South was outspoken in favor of the
French. They wished for the success ol

vepturers Mackey and Cooke, appear.
TIE latest acquisition to the KuKlux con-
clave in that State is moral leper of the
name of Geo. A. Richmond, who several
years since was ascertained to be 80 utterly
depraved that his retentioH In even q
minor Office like that Of trial justice was
found impracticsble. Richmond out
heroded Herod in his radicalism, and
aided by T. j. Mackey, above referred to,
established an order known as the Omitted
Brotherhood" which was ostensibly de-
signed to unite Republicans, but was in
reality the means employed by Mackey
and Richmond to extort money from ex-
Treasurer N. G. Parker and other officials
whose records were none of the best.
Mackey was the president of the order,
while Richmond was satisfied in filling the
lucrative place of major domo, thus han
ding all the funds of the conclaye. The
headquarters of the United Brotherhood,
between 1871 and 1874, during the Legis-
lalive sessions, was nightly filled by the
most corrupt hangers-on of the Republican
and Democratic parties, and it was there
that many scheme of public plunder had
its origin. To such an extent did Mackey
and Richmond carry their political in
trigues that honest men became disguised,
and using their influence with the colored
politicians, the order was promptly dis
banded for the want of patronage. During
the time that Richmond was in the hey
day of his glory, faring sumptuously upon
the bounty of ex-Treasurer Parker, the
Democrats were noisy in their denuncis-
tions of him, often pelting him with
missiles as he walked the streets of Colum-
bia. But when the grand cyclops" of the
81. O.U. B." declared his intention to join
in the cry Of Hampton and REFORM" they
at once took Richmond to their bosoms, and
report now has it that he is at present So
cially recognized by the Columbia aristoc
racy, who welcome him to their homes and
shower various attentions upon him. In
the meantime several negro converts to the
Democracy, feeling chagrined at not being
socially recognized by the men who lionize
Richmond, have become disguised and
threaten to go back to the old party. All
in all, the Democratic family at Columbia
is by no means happy or united one, aud
the admission to their political circles Of
such firebrands as Richmond and Mackey
will have the tendency to still further the
arrangement of that discordant conclaye.
We will not be paying Richmond and
Mackey much of compliment when we
state that they are altogether worthy of
being admittedto to Ku Klux circles, for while
they have been notorious pilferers at the
South Carolina treasury, they have not yet
been engaged in the murderous onslsughts
upon inoffenslve Republicans which have
brought perpetual disgrace upon such men
as Hampton, Butler and Gary. 1t must be
highly amusing to behold Richmond and
Mackey holding their nightly csbals, sur
rounded by such Columbia aristocrsts as
McMaster. Sloane, Haskell and Preston.

SHOULD American citizens be slaugh-
tered in foreign country our entire navy il
necessary would be sent to aVenge their
deaths. Yet we find American citizens,
for no offense save their devotion to the
party which gave them their liberty, ruth
lessly shot to death in the Southern States.
When the Apostle Paul was carried bound
before his captors they speedily released
him when he admonished them that he
was Roman citizen and uncondemned.
Is our citizenship feebler safeguard than
that of Rome2 Shall the cry "I am an
American citizen" be raised in vain
against outrage? "Take heed what thou
doest," Hampton, for the men whom
your allies are numbering are American
citizens.

If THE other States of the North and
West gain proportionately with Ohio and
Indiana, the ex-Confcderate House will be
numbered among the things that were, aud
Hill, Tucker, Singleton AID other blood,
stained rebels will be denied the pleasure
of being congratulated by such frauds as
Sammies Cox and Randall, and the whole
host of doughfaces who made the last seS,
sion hideous with their yells. But then,
all of these worthless can visit the Capital
at their own expense when Ben Hill de-
livers his great speech which he promises
at the nneninp Of Cnngress
