natl Times, unhappy Republican,
Az UNCERTAIN HEAVY WEIGHT
Senator David Davis will be the heavi-
est man In American politics to-day,
but nobody knows on what side Of the
scales 10 look for him.-[New York
Tribune.
DEaUsTIBus.-People differ. There
is no accounting for tastes. Here is
Butler, keeping Senators awake of
nights TO give him a seat, and there is
Sharon, who can't be prevailed on 10
take the seat he has bought and paid
for.
GooD ESoUGH.-The masses want no
better currency than the good old
plain silver dollar aud tie fractions,
with treasury notes receivable for all
dues 10 the Government, convertible at
the will Of the holder into a low-bear-
ing interest bond.-[Richmond Wing.
A DIscovERY.-It 10 somewhat d.
verting to the non.partisan and indlf-
ferenl mind to observe the sudden die
coVery BY the Republicans that the
Carpet.bagger is a villain and a horse
thief, although his society has been
zsalOusly cultivated by the discoveries,
10! these many years.
Coming HoME TO RoosT.-Therc Is
poetical justice in 1t. Conover and
Patterson are the products Of the usur-
patton and tyranny of the Republican
party. Ii is only just that they should
signalize, by their votes, the collapse
Of RepubliCanIsm IN the Stale which
was plundered most aud piticd the
least. Il charleston News.
Nor CoSsoLAToRY.-It seems that
Sharon Of Nevada can't appear in
Washington, but is willing to resign
his place in the Senate. AS the DEM
ocrats have 4 majority of two on joint
ballot in the Nevada Legislature, his
proposition 10 resign does not convey
much consolation 10 the breasts OF the
Senate Republican minorily.-[N n. Y.
Sun, independently.
The FoLLIEs OF a NGGHT.-What
was this desperate struggle OF Monday
night about? Was II TO save the Union !
Wss il TO protect the public crcditG
Was il to prevent the passage OF The
silver swindle or the Repeal bill2 1t
was mono of these things. II was 4
frantic and ridiculous effort 10 post
pone for q few hours an inevitable and
unimporton; event; 10 save a majority
which il was impossible to save and OF
which the Republican Senators have
been making so poor a ne that the
sooner they are deprived cf it perhaps
the better for the country, for their
party, and for themselves. - IN. \,
Evening Post, Qnd. Rep.)
PArTERsoN's USnAPPGNEss.-Patter'
sons unhappiness seems 10 date from
the very entrance Of President Hayes
into office. Mr.. Redleld, OF The Gin
. cinnati Commercial, is authority fol
| the assertion that Patterson called up
on the President on The day Of the lat
ter's arrival at Washington, and asked
him fit was true that a Southern Dem
! ocrat wal TO have q seat In the Cabinet
The President replied that there wa
\ an undecided plan Of that sort, where
upon Patterson said "You had bette
: put Wade Hampton ill.," The Presi
o dedt added: "Perhaps that would be
good selection" Patterson left in dis
10 gust, and has been growing madde
ever since.-[N. Y. Tribune.
a REDFIELD says in one of his letter
>. that the Southern policy of Mr.. Haye
"has had a wonderful effect In softer
lag prejudices, subduing hates, inspiI
D, ing condolences and changing despai
to hope" But all this, in the eyes {
Conkling and his followers, amounts
nothing. The softeBing Of prejudice
r the subduing Of hates, The inspi
ing of condolences and the changin
10 Of despair to hope is not Il
r mission Of the Republican party.
u such sentimental trumpery is to weakC
co the hold Of the Republican party upO
a. the public plumber, then. down with
d. Let the hopes Of the South be change
a, 10 despair, that the party's despair
further plumber may be changed
H. hope. Maintain the asceudency Of Il
party, or pour the sweet milk Of co
b. cord into hell.-[C journal.
lie A LOGICAL CoScLUsIoN.-We Q
no tirely agree with the Evening Pc
that the "~despised carpet.baggers"
the Senate have made a much better q
OF p~earance In that body during the Ia
he two days than Mr.. Edmunds, n
Conkling and other Republican Sen
tors OF unstained personal reputation
y" and we need not hesitate 10 say th
10 We are sorry for it. Without indul
ing In any conjectures as to the pos
on bility of their really desiring 10 re(or
and live new Senatorial lives, Is 1t n
clear no Democratic pressure can
af- needed to make such men as these a

caI personal interests PIN. Y. World.
The DIFFERENCE BETWEEN Docs,
nv There are carpet-baggers and carp
