puerile pleas ore an insult to the people
and disgrace to those who make them.
Isl supposed the scale Of intelligence
throughout the country Is so low that
such childishness will pass for valid
ressonH Ifitis, those who expect 1t will
be early undeccived.
One other point should, also, be consid.
cred In this connection, aud we take 1t to
be the real cause of the late reaction in
favor Of repudisting the decision Of the
Commission. 1t Is that something has
been said about the policy of the incoming
Administration being favorable to resto
ration of fraternal feeling between the
North and South aud the fear is that
this Is to be the case, aud II so, no one
knows better than any one of the virulent
objectors, that 1t will be the doom Of the
Democratic party. 1t has but one hope
that Of keeping the two sections divldei !;
the moment they are reunited its occupa-
tion is gone, and its organ ization destroyed.
And, as there is nothing so well calculated
TO produce frenzy as the fear OF diss olution,
SO the prospect that HAYES Administration
will reconcile the South to Republican rule,
and enlist the better classes of that section
in his support, thus consiguiug the De.
mocracy to early decay, has stirred its
leaders to the depths Of nature. aud
brought on the death struggle 10 advance,
In the form Of resistance to impending z
fate. But 1t will do no good. HAYES
will be inaugurated, and his policy will
make the people of the South the friends
Of his Administration, aud Of his prty !;
and, when the four years are elapsed thu.
lie between us and another Presidential
campaign. there will be no Democratic
party to contest the election or c,vil at
the returns; certainly not, unless they &C,
cept the situation and retain credit for
common honesty.

Another Subject for Congressional Investiga-

eration.
Now that the Democratic party has about
become exhausted In its series Of Congressional
Investigations, may 1t not be in order to suggest
Just one more subject before they adjourn-one
perhaps that will crown their efforts with some
success, and prove corruption and chtcanery In
official life thing In fact, and not merely an
ideal charge.
Heretofore the Engineers Department Of the
House OF Representatives found 9OJ tons Of coal
and 900 cords Of wood; amply sufficient to last
an entire year. But this year. with the usual
quantity purchased, there will DO q deficiency
and the reasons are as follows
]. The fires are made daily lncludlng Sundays
and holidays, one hour or more earlier than they
=. They ere run from two to four hours later
than necessary, consuming from two TO four tons
81 coal por day more than formerly, and for which
p This extra consumption of coal is caused by
the order of the Chtcf Engineer In charge, who

still another probable leak might be suggested,
Mr.. Patterson has been officially informed that
the recent statement Of the Chief Engineer to
the effect that man by the name OF Morris u

partment, received all the coal, and receIpted for
4 as Il was delivered, is an error, and one that

careless manner In which the coal was received
out 1t Is now nearly exhausted, and an extra
appropriation will have TO be made to run the re.

The following extract clipped from the
home organ OF Governor HENDRICKS is q fair
specimen Of incendiarism that may be linked
with the seditious libel Of our own rebellous
journalist:
The threatened counting in Of HAYES sits like a
funeral pail the country. All business Is de.
pressed and all hope Of better times is fast dying
out. Had lightning stricken the Electoral Com.
mission down dead while they were framing the
Infamous steal. the country would have been far

Arc there no more BOOTHS left TO finish the list
OF tyrants ?-Shsibypiile, Ind, Founder.
While we do not mean to hold the better
element Of the Democracy responsible for such
sentiments as the above, still 1t is Just this
class Of unscrupulous partisan writer's, who
are constantly touching the pulse of the
masses with revolutionary irebrands. What
Is particularly to be regretted, however, in
this instance, Is the fact that besides being the
editor of the above. named organ, the writer
of the extract 10 q personal aud intimate
friend Of the late Democratic caniidate for
the Vice Presidency OF the Union.
WHEN the sundry Civil bill comes up for
final consideration, would II not be we'll TO
add come amendment to the appropriation for
the Patent Office, looking to the appointment
of the chiefs In that object Heretofore men
have been appointed as Commissioner, Chief
of Examiners, Examiners, &c, who were
without the remotest idea of patent law, and
some Of them ignorant Of the very first prin-
sipals OF mechanics. These positions are
important ones, requiring technical know Wedge
and discriminating judgment in the intricacies
OF patent law that only comes Of long study
and experience. The questions that come up
for decision are often of the subtlest kind
involving at times large amounts OF money
The suggestion is not without Its merits, and
we hope IL will receive It's deserved considera-
tion.

PAPA SAYS so, TOO"
JENNIE T. HAzEN LEWIS.
A tiny rap fell on the door;
1 quickly stepped across the floor,
And turned the knot for Perley Moore.
'Good morning, little one, I cried,
How early you are out of bed!
Is that what make your cheeks so red?"
'I'se tum a vis'tin' 90 to-day,
I toll Aunt Nelly if I may;
Ov tourse 90 tan, Aunt Nelly say,
An so Use tum an brought my doll,
MY hat is dittin' mos to small;
90 fink dis is a pity s'awl?''
All this the little maiden said,
While yet her hat was on her head,
And shawl was DER her shoulders spread.
I said, How is your Aunty Nell?
Ihope to hear that she is we'll"
She lifted up her great black eyes,
Pursed up her mouth and looked so wise,
As if to note my great surprise.
"Aunt Nelly'S dot de whoopin' toff,
An has to have some chitten droff,
An Massey stuff from Doctor G off;
An SEES all ,tuvered up in bed,
An has a wet cloff on SEES he'd,
An SIC tan't eat SEES toasted bead"
Somehow I knew she told a fb,
Her little tongue was all too glib:
And SO to lead the gypsey on,
I questioned her of Uncle John.
20, Uncle Don'S down to re city,;
He's daun' to dit me kumfn' pity
I dess till be a little Kitten;
Oh no, I dess till be a baby
he say he some time dit one, MAYBE"
"You do not want another cousin,
For you have now at least a dozen;
There's Tom and Jim, and Joe and Hurley,
And then your little namesake Perley?,
"DiS baby1l be my ve'wy own,
All till be made of meat an bone,
An have a little mouf so sweet,
An I tan dive it sumfin' feat.
90 see, Use dot no little blower.
He's daun way up to Heav'n wiz mover,
An I tan't never dit no over.
But papa say he don't want any,
He say anuzzer be too many
He say he'll tango my name to Benny"
"Oh, Perley, how you rattle ont
) I'll have to tell your Uncle John,
Your tongue IunS like a dinner bell;
Come, let us go and see Aunt Nell;
Now hurry up, get ready quick
You know Aunt Nell is very sick"
AUNT Nelly is not sit,' she said.
AN SEES not lying in re bed,
Nor dot no wet cloff on SEES head!''
"Why, Perley, you have told a lie?'
She poked her fat fist in her eye,
An straightway raised a deafening cry;
The briny tears ran dow her cheek,
Sobs choked her so she could not speak,
And all her attitude was meek.
"Why did you tell me such a tale?
To find you out I could not fall"
She came and stood beside my knee
A prettier puss there could not be.
My fingers in her HAND she took,
n gave me such a curious look:
tom read it to me IN a book;
The boy was little Henwy Pool
He dot re book at Sunday Tool. Z.
An Tommy says Zose books are true,
An Papa says so, tOO-don' oO?''
